By the time it made it to the area above me I was making a left turn onto the first street which is Tenaya. I thought it was a little strange that this military plane was flying so low in this particular area and as slowly as it was.

As I continued onto TENAYA, I kept my eyes on the plane and noticed it started to turn to the right as if it was heading towards the apartment complex where I was living at the time. As I drove around the curve before you get to the apartments I could still see the plane flying slowly as if it were looking for something.

Also, as I was going through the curve I also noticed a black disc-shaped object sitting completely still in the air over the apartment complex. I thought to myself "Nah, that can't be what I think it is.

So I sped up a little and turned in the driveway hoping to get a better look.

When I made the turn I noticed a helicopter sitting to the left of the driveway with two young looking military guys standing in the doorway of the chopper. They were standing there with their eyes glued on the object.

From my position on the ground the buildings were blocking my view of the object, so I drove up past the buildings on my left and there I got a very clear and close up, unblocked view of the object. I sat there looking at the object trying to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing, and it was indeed a spacecraft. I looked at the time on my dashboard and it was 6:27 pm.

I started to look for my cell phone to call my wife and tell her to come outside to see it, but could not find my phone.

About this time the plane and the helicopter had gotten closer to the object. The plane began to circle in rather close to the object as if it were trying to provoke the object to leave. I was so excited as I was watching I wanted my wife to see so I sped off to go get her. As I was running upstairs I could still hear the helicopter, but by the time I got her outside I could not hear the helicopter anymore.

By the time we made it back to the area where I saw this event taking place, everything was gone. I could understand the object being gone and completely out of site, but the helicopter for sure should have been in site somewhere in the general area. But all three were gone without a trace. There was one guy who was outside putting something in his truck, and he seemed not to pay any of this any attention.

I saw him maybe twice since the incident, but I was too shy to go up and ask him if he saw it too because I know he should have. There were also two very young kids standing next to the building that the object was directly above. I couldn't see their faces because they had their backs to me facing the object.

But the guy that was at his truck I saw his face clearly and we made eye contact. He did have a look on his face that seemed to be saying "yeah right" as though he saw it but was not impressed. I wish I would have had enough courage to go up to him and ask him if he saw the same thing I saw. But regardless I know that what I was looking at was as real as anything I have ever seen with my two eyes.

The drawing is the last scene I saw before I drove off. It was sitting over the building at the end of the street at about 75 to 100 ft with no lights or motion.
