- Full Description of Event/Sighting: From 7:59 to 8:25pm
on March 17th, 2009 (forgot DST on the camera, so time shows an hour earlier),
my sons and I saw another UFO in the skies over Long Beach, California.
We were in the backyard of our home taking pictures of whatever might look
interesting, as sky-watching is our hobby. We do it at least 5 days a week
to relax after a long day and I've been teaching them the constellations.
I then noticed something that didn't fit what we've come to know as a terrestrial
craft, whether a jet, prop or experimental aircraft. There was an object
that was going from the west to the east and there was no red light visible
(FAA REG) as with all other aircraft taking off from the airport. Then
it started to hover and immediately changed direction and again did not
have the FAA green light on its opposite side.
-
-
- I have almost 60 photos of this sighting and you really
must see them all to be able to appreciate what is going on here. From
my vantage point of about a mile off of the Pacific coast, this craft was
hovering on the southern horizon, probably above the electric company at
the corner of Studebaker and 2nd Street/Westminster. After hovering, the
craft would then make 160-180 degree turns going east, then west, then
repeating while slowly drifting further south - over the Pacific Ocean
- towards the famed "Redondo Trench". This went on, as can be
seen in the properties of my photos, for 26 full minutes.

-
-
- At the time of our sighting this time, it was not clear
what shape the object actually was until the photos were analyzed upon
download to my computer and even then, it seemed only the lights were visible.
As far as structure and the apparent "shape-shifting abilities",
this was one spectacular sighting! However it didn't beat the Triangle
"Mothership" we all saw last November 12th, and I don't think
anything else could! That was reported the same day on UFO Northwest, if
you are interested.
-
-
- Anyway, I took a few "real-time" photos of
the craft, but didn't want to "waste" the pictures and knew the
only way to be sure to "get proof" was to take timed shots, so
- as a result - most of the almost 60 photos I shot were 8 second exposures
at a F 2.5 setting with an exposure value at +2.00 (the highest my camera
goes) and certainly showing the true colors of the crafts lights and its
flight pattern/path. I used a high-pixel, Sony Cybershot digital camera
and did not alter the originals at all! I have kept their integrity to
help you to prove or disprove whatever it was that caused more than ten
helicopters to be in the air after it disappeared, and caused them to refuel
and return to the search for the next 2 hours or so. The light appeared
to be of whitish/yellow color with a bit of red from time to time, and
what got my attention was that the lights and colors did not match the
FAA regulations with regards to Red on the left and green on the right
and white lights that blink 40x per minute. This thing pulsed and then
stayed lit.

-
- Then it blinked white lights fast and then went back
to pulsing again only to follow it with another blast of bright, solid
light for another thirty to sixty seconds. From where I was, it looked
like a saucer, then looked like 2 doing maneuvers together. Then it looked
like two orbs that were connected somehow, then "shape-shifting"
into something else... more square-round.
-
-
- I would also like to mention that based on the photos
I have taken, I have reason to believe their may have been more than one
craft in the sky last night, too. Several shots seem to show what could
be mistaken for stars, but upon closer inspection, can be seen to have
the same color coding/ shading as the initial craft and in two of my photos,
it looks as if their are 2 saucers of another shape that might even be
a couple of boomerangs, but on a timed photo, it is hard to tell. You are
the experts and I do hope that my final disclosure to you will help figure
out what is happening on our planet.
-
-
- Well, this was absolutely incredible, but did not come
close to others I and my family have had and would like to talk with an
investigator about. Last night, there were a total of 7 of us and an 8th
joined in at the last minute, that witnessed this sighting and the after-effects.
Only three of us saw it for the first 20 minutes or so, because I was getting
pictures while the boys watched and tried to get neighbors out to see it,
too.

-
-
- What else is interesting is that on March 11th, 2009,
there was little to no usual traffic going into or out of Long Beach Airport
and around 8:18pm, seven military and police/civilian helicopters flew
over our house, seeming to be looking for something on the ground. They
flew rather slowly, from west to east and then took a more southerly direction
when above Seal Beach, moving towards the Huntington Beach Area.
-
-
- Scary thing? I took photos of them, too as soon as I
heard them coming and watched them go and the first shot set off the flash
which seemingly caused one of the helicopters to turn on and shine a searchlight
on us! I had the kids shut off the lights in and outside of the house,
got to my computer and downloaded them as soon as I could - just in case
I got something I wasn't supposed to have.
-
-
- I would most certainly like to speak with an investigator,
especially since I've had multiple sightings (as has my eldest son) over
the last many years and would like to finally share some of them with anyone
willing to listen. I am beginning to fear whatever the heck is going on
and there IS something going on. Especially here in Long Beach, California.

-
- Again, I have over 60 photos (most at 8 second exposures
- to capture the colors and the movement) and an audio tape of the
fiasco of the sighting while shooting the pics, if you'd like them. Just
let me know how to get them to you! Thank you for your time.
-
-
- Thank you to the witness for a great sighting report.
also I will be requesting the material the witness has and will be calling
him over the weekend.
