- Good day Brian, I had a very interesting
day while I was over at a friends house in Modesto, California. We had
just finished doing yard work in the backyard, and my friend had to run
some errands and asked me to stick around for dinner. It would be more
than a few hours before I needed to head up to the Sierra foothills for
a meeting with an associate and so decided to stick around.

- While I was enjoying the beautiful California
day I noticed these little 'sparkles' or 'bright sprites' showing up in
the eastern direction. I thought that there were too many of these to be
an isolated aircraft as they appeared to jump from one area to another
by random and wide distance margins. Since I travel no where without at
least one camera, I ran to the car to grab it.
-
- Within a short time I had my 6 megapixel
Fuji digital SLR set up and started taking pictures in the general area
where I kept seeing these bright reflections or flashes. I had finished
taking about 800 shots and decided to transfer and load them into my laptop
for a closer inspection, hoping that perhaps I got lucky and caught one
of these 'things'. Of course there were your normal bugs and birds and
other known airborne particulates that got captured too. But there
were three or four shots that definitely didn't seem to fall into any of
the known categories. I pulled up a small program that allows you
to zoom in on photos that brings out greater detail and I was surprised
at what I saw. Staring in my face was what appeared to be a
- semi-shiny spheroid (or orb) shaped object.
-
- I was feeling pretty good about my 'captures'
and went back outside to retrieve my camera and tripod, (this was about
an hour later). I had just grabbed the tripod and started to walk back
when I noticed a huge reflection in the North by Northwest skies. Well
I thought to myself, I'm here with the camera and tripod in my hand so
what the hell lets take a few more shots!. I had the camera in burst mode
so was able to fire off five shots instantly and then came back inside
to see if I'd gotten lucky again.
-
- The very first shot nearly made me fall
out of my chair. It seem to have many of the characteristics of a classic
disc. I quickly opened up the small photo program to zoom in on the object
and was surprised to see what appears to be a cupola on the top of this
object. There also appears to be a few of the orb or spheroid shaped
objects flying nearby which I found very interesting. It also made me wonder
if the number of reflective flashes that I had seen earlier in the East
were perhaps associated with this discoid shaped craft. One of my associates
likes to call the spheres "Spyroids" and this made me think,
what if the disc shaped craft was releasing these objects (for recon or
other) and then recovers them back for the information gathered by them.
-
- I am not saying that I captured anything
spectacular as these photos have still not been looked at by my usual contacts
that I send these to for further analysis. But my fellow skywatchers that
I keep in contact with thought that they were pretty interesting shots
and suggested that I post them for you and your readers to take a gander
at. So I've included two original shots (albeit they've been cropped to
keep the email size down), and then a few zoomed cropped and slightly filter-enhanced
versions.
-
- These photos (and others that were shot)
should be considered to be still in the earliest of any preliminary analysis.
We will update you as more information is received.

-
- First shot that includes the orb/spheroid
shaped object was captured between 2:00pm and 2:20pm. It was shot facing
the east at full 12x zoom with a Fuji S602 digital camera.
-
- No air traffic was observed during the
shooting.
- Wind was a mild 3-5 mph from the South.
- Distance to the object(s) is unknown
but is generally considered to be quite
- a distance from the cameraperson.
-
- Second shot of a discoid type looking
craft was captured about 3:20pm. It was shot facing the North by Northwest
at a Full 12x zoom with the same camera as above.
- Again no air traffic was seen or observed.
- Wind was still mild and unchanged
- Distance appears to be slightly closer
to the cameraperson than that of the spheroid shaped object.
