UFO sighting near Monterey, California (1996)

1996 about 9 p.m. on a Saturday night Monterey, California 2 witnesses

Account

The witness accompanied his teenage daughter to a downtown cemetery where she was taking night photos for a class. They watched two orange spheres detach from a meteor-like streak, reappear over a nearby ball field and pass overhead, followed by three bright lights that became a large silent triangular craft passing low overhead before vanishing. Afterward they attempted to report the sighting to police, the airport tower, and a UFO reporting center.
