UFO sighting in California

While visiting cousins in Southern California, six people were in a backyard at night when they saw a long, candy-bar-shaped metallic craft with a flat bottom hovering for about 10 minutes. It had no lights, rivets, or smoke. It then departed almost instantly like warp drive with no plume, terrifying the group.

UFO sighting near Placerville, California

When the guest was 16 or 17, he was with about 20 people partying on a friend's flat roof late at night. They watched a light moving like a satellite that stopped, changed direction, bounced around the sky, then accelerated away much faster. About 10 to 15 minutes later three dark, quiet, unmarked helicopters flew low over the house toward the light's direction.

UFO sighting near Placerville, California

About a week after the roadside sighting, the guest sat alone on his back porch at night and noticed a growing blue glow. He peeked around the house and saw a self-emitting blue ball about softball to grapefruit size floating across the driveway. It moved down the driveway with a walking-like bobbing motion, crossed to the neighbor's property, and faded into trees.

Campers have sighting above Pinecrest

A group camping with horses heard the horses startle something at dusk and then saw a huge brown figure about 6 feet tall running extremely fast across a meadow away from the horses in a cloud of dust. One tethered horse was so frightened it jumped over another horse. The witness concluded the figure could not have been a bear because of the sound it made and the way it ran.

Hunting Partners Have Early Morning Roadway Sighting

Early one morning in 1972 or 1973 the witness rode with a relative toward a hunting area when headlights revealed an animal leaving an orchard and crossing the road on all fours. The animal turned its head toward the vehicle, showing teeth, then went into a ditch, stood upright and stepped over a fence before disappearing from view. The relative acknowledged an animal crossing but did not see the upright movement and later did not recall the event.

Lady has two Northern California sightings, over a 20year period

While trolling for bass from a boat on a warm summer day with a companion and a dog, the witness watched a huge dark-haired biped walk to the water's edge and pull up what looked like a stick fish trap. The creature inspected the apparently empty trap, placed it back, then climbed a very steep slope effortlessly without looking toward the boat. The companion did not see the creature while the dog barked and howled throughout the several-minute observation from about 50 yards away.

Daytime sightings by Forest Service employee near Arroyo Seco

The witness stopped to rest during an early-morning fitness run near a lake area when he heard movement on a shaded, brush-covered hillside. About 20 feet away he saw a roughly 8-foot-tall upright figure that turned its upper body to stare at him before walking quickly uphill and out of sight. Shade prevented him from seeing facial details. He returned to the station convinced the figure was not human.

Early 70's, Sighting by a deer hunter, off of Highway # 2, in the San Grabriel Mountains

Two hunting companions in a steep canyon area reported watching a brown figure about 700 yards away across the canyon. The figure reportedly stood up and walked on two legs uphill with a slumped posture for about five to six seconds before going out of sight, at one point possibly dropping to all fours on steeper ground. The witnesses first thought it was a person or a bear but felt its walk looked too odd for either. The encounter is said to have occurred on a clear warm afternoon in the fall in the early 1970s.
