HBCC UFO Research Note:The report, or experience which was related to me by a really nice fellow wishes to remain anonymous which is totally fine with me. Also I completely understand why he would like it to remain this way. But, this is an important case and the witness, or witnesses to this unusual event are looking for answers, as I am. These folks are requesting anyone's help, in other words people who may have been witness to some unusual events around the time of this experience. Anyone with information on sightings in the Thousand Oaks, California area in November 1975 would you please contact Brian Vike, Director of HBCC UFO Research with your information on what took place. I then can pass along just the detailed information to the people who were involved in the November 1975 incident. Thank you very much, Brian Vike.

We lived in Thousand Oaks, California at the time, at 2130 Sapra (There are 2 Sapra's that were supposed to connect but never did. Our house was on the short one, connecting directly to Erbes Road). It was a new housing development when we moved in from Amarillo, TX in 1969 (My dad worked for Burroughs and was transferred from Texas to the Westlake Village branch). We were the last house on a dead end street at the end of town. The houses were on only the south side of the street, cut out of the hill, with a large horse field across the street. The house was perched quite high above Erbes Rd and we could see over the horse field and into the valley below.

First Night:

My cousin lived next door and he and I were playing guitar on my front driveway along with my brother and a couple of other friends around 7:00 or 8:00 pm (close guess). Suddenly a blue light (size of a basketball?) streaked (super fast- no sound) over the house from the south and hit the horse field. I say hit, but it seemed to dissolve on impact and sent blue, lightning like streamers shooting off across the ground in all 3 other directions, for hundreds of yards until they disappeared. Well, this was kind of strange to say the least, but we were kind of laughing about it as a couple of the people were facing away and saw nothing. We went back to playing guitar and 15 to 20 minutes later, this huge pine tree on the street down in the valley (Marview Drive - just looked it up on map quest) suddenly was fully engulfed in flames. We stood there for awhile ( I remember watching the fire truck come down Arboles and turn up Erbes down in the valley below). Eventually it was put out (the story was in the paper -News Chronicle- the next day). source: www.hbccufo.com

Jumped up on a bench to watch as it went behind fence line and saw object a mile or more away taking a downward turn towards the treetops/roof lines.

Too small to be manned craft, some kind of monitoring device perhaps. Possibly could have come out of pine woods across the street from my building....I can't say. There was something distinctively odd about it all and the smooth way it flew, like something from another dimension. It was very, very fast. I was excited to see such a thing and I've been out everyday since looking at the same spot in case I see it or something like it again.

I've been going over and over it in my mind, telling myself it was only a bird, but then I think, "Nope, that wasn't any bird."

Immediately after this, the sun started reflecting on some high cirrus type clouds to the south and prismed into a rainbow patch appearing on the clouds and looked like a portal into another world. This was just a natural phenomenon I'm sure, but the timing was most coincidental. I felt that I had attracted it, brought it out of wherever it was or that perhaps I was being shown something. I had been contemplating an orb I saw suspended in the sky two years back and wondering if our govt. could possibly have some anti-gravity, gyroscopic device which could hover stationary in a high wind...And that's when this cylinder appeared zooming by. Pretty strange, but I am not one for making things up or hallucinating.

Georgia-12-28-I was traveling in N. Georgia, on my way to Blue Ridge. It was late and dark. I was going around a mountain clockwise. I was near the top. To my right, thru the passenger window I noticed something that appeared to be descending. It looked like a very large modern round building. From what I can remember, it had what looked like picture windows all around it. There were lights above and below the windows.

I could see there was light thru the windows. I wasn't able to stop, I was towing a large heavy trailer. At I circled the mountain, I saw it again, it still appeared to be descending. I told myself that it seemed to be moving because I was moving. A few weeks later I spoke with a friend who lives in Blue Ridge. I asked her about what I saw and if there was any type of building in that area that matched my description. She said no. source: www.mufon.com

The object appeared to be somewhat high in the sky, but with the trees so close and all around I couldn't see it. I said to myself, was that the moon? What is it, a cloud? It was very strange, especially since I have driven over the bridge at all hours and all seasons, and never have I seen anything like it. So I stepped on the throttle to get up to the highlands to get another look. As I climbed a big hill, when I leveled out, I saw it again out of my drivers side window, this time I only saw the top of the circle with the missing upper left part. The rest of the circle, I presume was obscured by trees.

I was headed north at the time. I observed it for about 5 seconds this time, before I was back in the trees. I was driving to the quad-cities, so I stepped on it again to get to interstate 80 about 5 miles north, where the ground is flat to get another look. All the time I was looking west, and I never saw it again. When I got to the farmlands, I looked again and I never saw it. I got on I-80 west bound, I looked to the south, south west, north, northwest, And I never saw it again. I looked the whole time i drove the 50 or 60 miles. It was a starry night without any clouds in the sky. Whatever I saw it was huge. It reminded me of the harvest moon. It was also higher in the sky. I know if it was the moon I should have been able to see it the 10 or 12 minutes it would take for me to get to west bound I-80. I know I saw something what it was I don't know. I am sure someone else must have seen it, because like I said it was huge, and you couldn't miss it. I can draw picture if you would like. source: www.mufon.com

She said it was moving very slowly. it was just above the tree line and she could easily see the shape of the object. she described it as a dark round object that was about 8 feet tall and fairly large. it got a little ways past our house and she said it just vanished. i believe my sister to be very credible. source: www.mufon.com

Then we notice that this UFO had two small sphere rotating around it. Then mannys neighbors yelled "look over there!! OVER THERE!! THERE IS A GIANT BLACK ONE OVER THERE!!!!" just across the silver UFO. As we all looked at the black UFO it started to leave west towards Del Rio, then vanished. The silver UFO remained at the same spot. As manny tried to take a picture of this UFO. Suddenly, the UFO began to move slowly and just a little closer to land.

Then moved back higher into the sky. All of a sudden the silver flying object left the area going north with incredible high speed(This definitely wasn't no weather balloon). This scenario lasted 15 or 20 minutes. Manny, Mannys brother Ray, Paulo and I got in mannys truck and tried following the UFO going toward Rocksprings. But, the UFO was not seen again. Myself being a longtime UFO & extraterrestrial life believer couldn't feel any happier then ever. My most desired perseverance came true. source: www.mufon.com

Full Description of event/sighting: On the 4th of July 2006 my family and I were watching fire works being shot off across Chaumont Bay when we started to see white streaks of light shooting straight up into the sky. They did not look like any firework that I had ever seen before. The lights would go so fast that they would be gone before you could say look and would go so high that they would disappear into the sky. The only thing that I thought it could be is some idiot shooting off 50 caliber tracer rounds into the sky to celebrate the holiday and we did not think anything more about it that night.

Then for the rest of the month of July and into August other people on the shore and I would see strange lights shooting along the horizon at night somewhat frequently. These lights were not like the lights that we saw on the 4th of July because they would go East to West or West to East but they would move just as fast as the previous lights and they would be gone before you could blink. source: www.hbccufo.com
