Shape: Circle - Duration:10-15 minutes
I was in my backyard having a cigarette between 4:30 - 5:15 AM. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a round, bright, golden light coming over the mountain by the radio antennas.
I watched it flying then suddenly it stopped in mid-air.
It proceeded to stay there for about a minute, then took off towards the south and disappeared. There was no sound coming from the object like you would hear if it was an airplane.
I was so excited to see this phenomenon I got on my Facebook page and mentioned it, and how bummed out I didn't get it on video. I continued to watch that part of the sky and mountain area for a while longer.
Suddenly a rainbow colored light appeared on the mountain. The rainbow colors reminded me of a prism.
The object appeared out of nowhere. It was like a light that was turned on, except it illuminated a large part of the mountain with rainbow prism-like colors.
The round rainbow-colored object rose about 100-200 feet off the ground then proceeded at a slow pace northbound along the bottom of the mountain.
The object stopped turned bright golden color and rose quite rapidly straight up and hovered in the air glowing.
I have lived in this area since childhood and fully aware that I live over the flight path of 3 major airports. I know the difference between a plane, helicopter, hang-glider, para-sailing, etc.
I was asked if it was a Chinese Lantern; not even close.
The size of the object on the ground was huge. Chinese Lanterns don't come in sizes of mansions that I am aware of. There isn't even a helicopter the size of this object I witnessed.
