UFO sighting in California (1989)

1989–1993 night until about 3 a.m. California 3 witnesses

Account

While driving at night to look at tracks, the guest and two companions saw flashing lights over the ocean and stopped with a highway patrolman to watch. They went to a coastal overlook where five then nine lights maneuvered erratically and pulsed colors. One green light circled after a mental request, another beamed down over the highway stopping cars, then jets scattered them.
