1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880
Yes, there has been a UFO sighted in Manton, California tonight.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:08,880
My son saw it.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,320
It came down damn near to him and it terrified him.

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,000
He went into hysterics.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,120
Do you have the full details of this incident?

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,120
Yes, I do.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,720
Could we get a full description of that, please?

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,840
Yeah, how about if my son told you?

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,840
Sure.

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Fine.

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,840
If he feels like talking about it, sure.

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Okay.

13
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,840
Yeah?

14
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,840
Hi there.

15
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,840
What's your first name?

16
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,840
Would you like to tell us what happened today?

17
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,840
I was outside and I was playing strawberries and I was going to water the sprinkler on.

18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:49,840
And I seen a meteorite and then a little later I was watching and I was putting the sprinkler

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,840
on and then I looked over a public train and something there.

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,840
I was covering a little bit.

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Okay, would you like to describe that?

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,840
It was long, like cigar, and it was round in the center.

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,840
It had a big round top.

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,840
And when I see it, it had something coming down out of it.

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,840
I was square, I think, coming down out of it.

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,840
That was like straight down out of the bottom of it?

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,840
Yeah, coming out of the bottom of it.

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Okay.

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,840
How far down towards the ground did that go?

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Right above the tree.

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,840
Okay.

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,840
The tree is a two-hack.

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,840
Now this, okay, the round thing that you saw on top, on top, was it like a dome on top?

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,840
A dome?

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,840
Yeah, like a dome.

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:47,840
Okay.

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,840
What color was that dome?

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Did that have any particular color of light or anything on it?

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Well, it was the old gray color.

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Okay.

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,840
How about the rest of the object?

42
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840
What color was that?

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Oh, it was about the same thing.

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Okay, what time did this happen?

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,840
About 9.30.

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Did you hear any sound coming from that object?

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,840
Yeah, it had like a humming type sound.

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Not too loud.

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Then when it was running into the house, it came towards me and then it took off with the

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,840
rocket power type because I can see the flames from it.

51
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,840
Okay, when it took off like that, did that sound change at all?

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Yeah, it made a louder noise like a rocket was taking off.

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Kind of a roaring sound?

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Yeah, but not too loud.

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Okay.

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:59,840
And when it was hovering, I could see it, there was a window with some people in it, something

57
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,840
like that.

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Oh, you could actually see a big window in the object?

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Yeah, it had people with big heads, three of them.

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Now, was that window located on the dome or the other part?

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Yeah, right below the dome.

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Right below the dome, okay.

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,840
Now, was that a large object?

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,840
Yeah, very large.

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,840
Now, can you compare it with something that you know of for size that would be the same

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,840
size?

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Size.

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Was it as big as an airliner?

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,840
Not as big as it yet, but by this big, a little smaller than that.

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Okay.

71
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:52,340
When that object took off, did it maintain the same description like looking like a cigar

72
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:54,840
with a dome on top or did it change?

73
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840
No, it was looking the same.

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,840
It took off real fast.

75
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Okay.

76
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,840
Did you watch it till it went out of sight in the sky?

77
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,840
Yeah, real fast.

78
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,840
How close do you feel it was to you?

79
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Very close.

80
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,840
How was this, was it closer than like a city block away?

81
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,840
Closer than that.

82
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:21,840
Okay.

83
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:26,840
Did it remain over the trees at all times while you were watching it before it took off?

84
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:27,840
Yes.

85
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:28,840
Okay.

86
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:33,840
Regarding that opening or that window, was that quite a large window?

87
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:34,840
Yes.

88
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:36,840
Okay.

89
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:43,840
Not all the way around about a quarter of the dome around it was window.

90
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:44,840
Okay.

91
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:51,840
Did you see or did that window, was it lit up inside so you could see right through and

92
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:52,840
inside?

93
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:53,840
No, not.

94
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,840
You could see through it, but you could see the silhouette.

95
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:56,840
Oh, I see.

96
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:57,840
Okay.

97
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:01,840
Then you actually saw silhouettes of somebody in there?

98
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:02,840
Three.

99
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:03,840
Three people?

100
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,840
Whatever was in it.

101
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,840
Okay, could you describe those as best you can?

102
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,840
Big heads.

103
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,840
Okay, is that all you could see was the heads?

104
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:16,840
Yeah, the heads.

105
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,840
Part of the neck and that's all I could see.

106
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,840
And that was just a silhouette of those, right?

107
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:22,840
Yes.

108
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:23,840
Okay.

109
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:31,840
Now, when the object started moving toward you, did that get pretty close before it took

110
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:32,840
off?

111
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:37,840
Any estimate of how many feet approximately?

112
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:44,840
About 18 feet from me at first.

113
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:51,840
I'd say about 18 to 25 feet away from me.

114
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,840
But when it started coming, it got about 15 feet before I ran it up to the porch and I

115
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,840
had to go over to the house.

116
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,840
And then I'd see it take off.

117
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:10,840
Okay, now when that took off up into the sky, did it, was this tilted upward or did it make

118
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,840
a turn or how was it, how would you describe its flight characteristics as it took off?

119
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:17,840
Tilted up.

120
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:18,840
Okay.

121
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,840
Running the domeward straight up.

122
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:22,840
Straight up?

123
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:23,840
Straight up.

124
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:24,840
Tilted up.

125
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:25,840
Kind of at an angle?

126
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:26,840
Yeah.

127
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:27,840
Okay.

128
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,840
How long do you feel it took before it went out of sight?

129
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:31,840
About three seconds.

130
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,840
Really moving then, right?

131
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:34,840
Yeah.

132
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:35,840
Okay.

133
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,840
It was terrified of it.

134
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:45,840
And it was right above those tree tops?

135
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:46,840
Yeah.

136
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,840
One big palm tree.

137
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:54,840
Okay, now about that thing that was coming down out of the bottom of it, before the object

138
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:58,840
took off, did that, was it still hanging out there like that?

139
00:06:58,840 --> 00:06:59,840
Yeah.

140
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,840
Okay, and it was still there as it moved off into the sky?

141
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,840
Yes, it started closing up as it came to me.

142
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,840
I mean the object, the thing on the bottom started going back up in?

143
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,840
Yes, it started going up.

144
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Okay.

145
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Now in that area where the object was hovering over those trees, is there anything special

146
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,840
over there?

147
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Or is it just a wooded area?

148
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:33,840
It's wooded yet, we have an orchard next to our house and over.

149
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Okay.

150
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,840
And about that acre across is a trailer.

151
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,840
And on the other side, a bunch of brush.

152
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,840
Okay.

153
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,840
It's all the clearing where the hotel used to be.

154
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Okay.

155
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,840
And you didn't see anything else strange going on in that area while that object was there?

156
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:56,840
No.

157
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Just before it was meteorite though.

158
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:07,840
It was a big one out, I looked up in the sky and there was a big flame and I couldn't

159
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,840
go as fast as it was going.

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,840
Now was that coming down at an angle or going straight across the sky?

161
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Coming down at an angle.

162
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Okay, what color was that?

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,840
It was fire flame.

164
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Okay.

165
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,840
How long did you watch that?

166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,840
About two and a half, one and a half seconds.

167
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Okay.

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,840
Now when this other object moved away, do you remember the direction it was going?

169
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:44,840
It was going to the right, it was going to west.

170
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,840
West.

171
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,840
To the west?

172
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,840
Yeah, it was going down towards red bluff.

173
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,840
Okay.

174
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,840
It was going down.

175
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,840
Okay.

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,840
Fast.

177
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,840
I think it was a meteorite because it was going pretty fast.

178
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,840
I couldn't go as fast but at the beginning it was a big round.

179
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,840
It was a big rock.

180
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,840
Okay.

181
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Did you go over to that wooded area since that object left?

182
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,840
I wouldn't go there.

183
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,840
I was too scared, I just ran to the house.

184
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,840
Now that shaft that came down out of, or that thing that came down out of the bottom of

185
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,840
the object, what color was that?

186
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,840
It was gray, a dull gray mixed with blue.

187
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,840
Okay, was that about the same color as the object itself?

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Yeah.

189
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,840
Okay.

190
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,840
How old were you?

191
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,840
Eleven.

192
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,840
Okay.

193
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,840
I was twelve.

194
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,840
Okay.

195
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,840
I think I was about the next two months.

196
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,840
Alright.

197
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,840
Is there a powerhouse in the area where you live?

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,840
Yeah.

199
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,840
Power station?

200
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Yeah.

201
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,840
About 10 miles from where I live.

202
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Is that a fairly big powerhouse?

203
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Yeah.

204
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Is this a generating station or just a substation?

205
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,840
It's the substation.

206
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Was there any other electrical problems in your house at the time?

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,840
Yes.

208
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,840
Yes, were there any other electrical problems in the house at the time?

209
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:25,840
The lights were kind of dim, I think, but the TV was all lines, just electric lines wiggling

210
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,840
across it.

211
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,840
Okay, were you getting any audio at all?

212
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:30,840
The voice?

213
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,840
The voice on the TV.

214
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,840
I wasn't paying much attention to it.

215
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,840
I just looked at it and walked out of his foot ball.

216
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,840
I don't pay attention to it.

217
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,840
And the house lights dimmed?

218
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Yeah.

219
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,840
Did all this problem clear up when the object left?

220
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,840
Yeah, everything was fine.

221
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,840
Okay.

222
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,840
I knew that at first I thought maybe he was just scared over something else, but he was

223
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,840
really hysterical.

224
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,840
I mean, I'd never seen him quite like this.

225
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840
And he was crying.

226
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,840
Is that area of private property where the object was over?

227
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,840
Yes, this is our land, but it owns the land.

228
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Is there any way anybody can get in there tomorrow and just look over that area?

229
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,840
Oh, yeah.

230
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,840
Anybody can come up in the Internet like this.
