- Good Day,
-
- At approximately 5:02pm (PST) I went into the backyard
to see why my dog was barking. While I was out there I did my general habit
of scanning the skies for anything out of the unusual. A few clouds
in the background along with mostly blue skies and nothing else.
- I decided to rake some leaves as we had had a storm blow
thru and knock off the last of them. At about 5:22pm I had finished and
again glanced around the skies.
-
- This time there was what I thought was either a very
bright star or perhaps even Venus in the Southern region. I thought
this rather strange as I would've thought that nothing could be seen yet
as the Sun was just starting to set. I observed this object for a
good 3 or 4 minutes and it didn't appear to be moving which just increased
my curiousity. I decided to retrieve my binoculars and get perhaps
a closer look of this bright star or planet.
-

-
-
-
- A few minutes later I'm zeroing in on this bright object
and could tell right off that this wasn't a star or planet as I've observed
both from the same vantage point and this object was much to big to be
either.
-
- Since I had a teleconversion lens already attached to
my camcorder I decided to tape a bit of it as one never knows. After a
few more minutes I had my tripod set up and zoomed in on the object. I
was able to use a normal viewing mode with no need to use nitevision as
there was still more than enough available ambient light. Then I noticed
something peculiar.
-
- At the bottom of this big bright luminous object, another
smaller object possibly 1/15th (or smaller) the size appeared below the
larger object. I immediately started recording and continued taping for
the continuation of this event. The sun had set and I wondered if
by switching to "NiteVision" mode would reveal evenmore. It
was then that I saw what I thought was another object come out of
the smaller object and start traveling upward above both the smaller and
larger object. In retrospect, I now believe that what I thought was
another object was in fact the middle star in "Orions Belt" that
was hidden by both objects.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- But not knowing this at the time, I actually thought
that I might have encountered a craft moving away from the larger object
and so followed it for several minutes. The larger object was probably
somewhere between 95-110 degrees arc in the southern sky and was very slowly
moving towards the west, meanwhile what I thought was another craft was
moving steadily upward.
-
- I decided to zoom back a bit and include the larger object
along with the other upwardly moving object. Within about
- one minute of my doing so, the larger object explodes
(or possibly implodes) and tumbles back to the earth with a shower of debris
and smoke. I followed the tumbling pieces for another minute or so
until I was not able see any more of it.
-
- Included is a Digitaly Processed frame that shows both
the large and small object and a small graphic showing the POV (Point of
View) of the cameraperson and where Orion's belt was at the time.
-
- I should point out that my cameras clock is exactly one
hour fast on the video as I've not changed it yet. I also shorten
segments of the 6 minutes or so of footage to show the object first
in daylite and then later with "NiteVision" so as to have a point
of reference for the viewer.

- Location: 40 Miles SouthEast of Sonora California
- Date of Event: January 18th, 2006
- Time of Event: Noticed first at 5:22pm and lasted
till about 5:42pm
- Number of Witnesses: 2 (Myself and my dog)
- Duration of Event: About 20 minutes including being first
noticed by the naked eye
- Type of Object: Unknown, extremely bright white
and luminous
- Size of Object: Had to be quite large for the amount
of debris and compared to a star 15 times smaller
- Shape of Object: Spheroid/Round
-
- Approximately 17 minutes later as I was arriving for
a dinner get-together, I observed a glowing luminous spheroid rapidly moving
(perhaps three times as fast as a commercial airliner) to the NorthEast
and was able capture 'free-hand' with a camcorder about a minute of it
which I will send you within the next day. But its rather anti-climatic
compared to this event...
-
- Interesting side-note is that in our neck of the woods
several researchers and myself were just commenting on how nothing has
happen in the hills or the foothills of California for over a month and
a half.
