00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hello. Yes. Yes, this is Cluce County Sheriff's Office in Calusa, California. Yes, ma'am.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
And what am I calling? Seattle Washington. Seattle Washington. Yes. Okay, we've got a reporting in the UFO. You want it? Yes, ma'am.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Okay, approximately 3.23 a.m. this morning.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
We're out watching their goats because they've had a lot of thefts. Uh-huh.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:35,000
And they're kind of staking the place out and they called in what they believe, very seriously, to be a UFO.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And it's described as a, it was about a quarter of a mile high in the air and it was headed northeast.

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And this was one object?

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And one object and they said it was traveling approximately a thousand miles per hour.

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000
And they only seen it for about three seconds. And it was oblonged with a bright white light.

10
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And then as it passed over and it faded to a light blue. And then as it went by, you know, it was just a couple of seconds,

11
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:15,000
and as it went by, it appeared as if a real bright blue light behind a bunch of little windows.

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Okay.

13
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And it did make a sound. No sound at all.

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
What time did that occur again?

15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Okay, approximately 3.23 this morning.

16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
3.23, okay.

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
It was approximately 35, 40 feet across.

18
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Okay.

19
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Did you have their telephone number?

20
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Yeah. Okay, I told them that I would, you know, that they would, that you guys would probably be calling them.

21
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And so they said that's fine. And they were out guarding their goats.

22
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Okay, well we sure appreciate this.

23
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Okay.

24
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Thank you.

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
We'll be calling them back.

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Yes, ma'am.

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Okay.

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Thank you very much.

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
We understand you saw something in the sky early this morning.

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Yes, we did.

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
We were out in the country about 3.23 this morning.

32
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Okay, I wonder if we could get a description right from the beginning.

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Well, let me have them tell you, because he's the one that spotted it first.

34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Okay.

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Hello.

36
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Yes, sir, this is the UFO Reporting Center in Washington.

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Yeah.

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I wonder if we could get a description of exactly what you saw this morning.

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
All right.

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Well, we were, my wife and I were sitting out, we've had trouble with the guy stealing goats.

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Yes.

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
So we're sitting out there watching to try and catch them.

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And my boy runs one shift, we run another.

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Well, anyhow, I looked up and I was looking toward the goat pans and I noticed kind of almost a white light coming towards me going northeast, traveling.

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Yes.

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And it was traveling fast, real fast.

47
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
And so I told my wife, look, look, you know, and so she looked up there and she's seen it all quite a ways too.

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
She could see it.

49
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And then when it got up about even with us, it didn't turn or anything.

50
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And it was about, I'd say between a quarter and a half a mile away.

51
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And when it got up even with us, then there was a blue, a light blue light.

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And you could see the form of the thing.

53
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
It was kind of oval.

54
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Well, it's hard to explain.

55
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
It was even shape, but it was thicker in the center than it was on the outside.

56
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Yes.

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And it looked like little blue windows, little blue light shining through windows about the center of it.

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
And I'm not a sound.

59
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Okay. Now you could actually see the fuselage of an object itself.

60
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I could see the black outline of it.

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Yeah, I don't know if my wife could.

62
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Uh-huh.

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000
She could see the lights and all, but she couldn't see the outline of the object, you know, itself.

64
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I could see the outline of it.

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Okay. Now you say it was thicker in the center than at the ends.

66
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Oh, yes.

67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
But would this be some form of a disc shape?

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
It looked like it could have been two plates together, more or less, to explain it over the phone.

69
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Okay, and tapering on the ends.

70
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Right.

71
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Okay, did these little blue lights, were they around the circumference of the eye?

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They were right around the middle, as near as I could tell about the center of it.

73
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Uh-huh.

74
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And they went all the way around that you could see.

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
When it got sideways, they looked clear across it.

76
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000
I could see it looked like little windows with a blue light in behind it.

77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Okay.

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Now, which direction were you looking when you first saw that light?

79
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I was looking, uh, let's see, it was going northeast.

80
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
I was looking south.

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Do south.

82
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Right.

83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
And this thing was coming up from the southwest then?

84
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Yes, it came from the south and going north.

85
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Okay.

86
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
The northeast, I should say.

87
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Okay.

88
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Now, did it come close to coming actually overhead?

89
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
No, it was to the side of me, about a quarter of a mile.

90
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
And that would still be to the south of you or to the southeast of you?

91
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
It would be southeast, yeah.

92
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Okay.

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
There was a little Piper Cub came over about, uh, I'll say an hour earlier or an hour later,

94
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
was it, later?

95
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Was it earlier?

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Yeah.

97
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
There was a little Piper Cub come over earlier, and I could see the lights blinking on it,

98
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
and I could identify it easy.

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And that thing was closer.

100
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
It was closer than the plane was.

101
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Uh-huh.

102
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
So it was fairly close.

103
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Okay, now, as it passed over your area, did you notice any change of speed?

104
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
No, it was just traveling enormously fast.

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
And did you watch this until it went out of sight in the distance?

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
I tried to watch it, but after it, there was some trees in the way, and when it got behind

107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
those trees, then I turned and looked and I never could see it again.

108
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Okay.

109
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
It was moving awful fast.

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Do you have any estimate of altitude?

111
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Uh, yes.

112
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
I can guess pretty good on speeds and altitude and stuff like that.

113
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Okay, how high would you say it was off the ground?

114
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I would say, uh, it was probably a little over a quarter of a mile, but not a half a mile.

115
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Okay.

116
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Now, how about distance from you?

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Distance from me, it was, uh, about a half a mile.

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Okay.

119
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Any estimate of size?

120
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Can you compare it with anything?

121
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Uh, well, with airplane and comparing it in an airplane, it looked to be about twice

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
the size of a Piper Cub.

123
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Okay.

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Or maybe a little larger than that.

125
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Okay, now, you didn't see any other lights on it other than the blue?

126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
When it faced us coming to us, the light was almost white.

127
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Okay.

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Then when it got up even with us, it was blue.

129
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Okay, all blue.

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
In other words, was this object, other than those blue lights, was the object surrounded

131
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
by any kind of a halo of light?

132
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
No, no other lights on it except the blue lights when it turned sideways with me.

133
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Then all you could see was that dark hulk.

134
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
That's all.

135
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Just a dark outline of it and then the blue lights around it.

136
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Okay.

137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
About the center.

138
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
And did you hear a sound?

139
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
No sound.

140
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Okay, did this have any effect on your farm animals?

141
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
I couldn't see the farm animals from where I was.

142
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
I was just watching the area.

143
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I didn't get close enough and it was at 3, 23 this morning.

144
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Right.

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
And it was dark.

146
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000
So we're just watching for somebody to drive in and try to steal the goats, see?

147
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Yes.

148
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
They've stole them twice already and so we just sit back and watch for lights.

149
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
So we're back.

150
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
I was probably pretty far from the goats as I was the object that went over.

151
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Okay.

152
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:18,000
But it definitely was something like that because it didn't make any sound and it was traveling.

153
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I've been where jets went over at Sound Barrier, break them into Sound Barrier and it was traveling

154
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
almost twice that fast.

155
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
It was going enormously fast.

156
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Okay.

157
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
How are the sky conditions?

158
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Clear.

159
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Clear at the time.

160
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Clear.

161
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
No fog, no clouds, no nothing.

162
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
The stars were shining all over.

163
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Okay.

164
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
When you first saw that light and it was heading northeast, did it maintain a straight course?

165
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Yes.

166
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Okay.

167
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
It didn't vary at all.

168
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
It looked like it just as straight as a shot.

169
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Did it appear to you as though it was traveling in a horizontal flight path?

170
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
You mean up or down?

171
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
A level.

172
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
It was going level, yes.

173
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Okay.

174
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
And did anything else occur after this went out of sight?

175
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Did anything strange occur in the area?

176
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
No.

177
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
I kept looking and everything and I had my window down in the truck.

178
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
I wasn't looking through a window or anything.

179
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
I was looking right out at it.

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And I didn't hear or see anything after that.

181
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Okay.

182
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Did this light as it was approaching you appear to light up the sky or light up the sky?

183
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
No.

184
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
It didn't shine like a beam or anything like that.

185
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
It was just like a white light.

186
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
But it didn't throw any light out from it.

187
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Okay.

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So about 3.23.

189
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Yes.

190
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
It was that time.

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Not about.

192
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Exactly.

193
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Okay.

194
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:56,000
And we'll be out there again in the morning if it comes by I'll see it again.

195
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
We're going to be out there every night because we're trying to catch these guys.

196
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
They've got away with about $1,000 worth of goats in a month.

197
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I'd just like to know if anybody else seen it but my wife and I both seen it.

198
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
We know for sure that it went by there.

199
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Okay.

200
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Now when, is this was coming in from the Southwest?

201
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Would you say that it was coming in possibly from the ocean area?

202
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Well, as fast as it was going I would say it had to because you see we're not so far from the ocean here.

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
And as fast as it was going I don't think it could turn in that distance.

204
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Right.

205
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Unless it stopped or unless it was stopped and just took off and could gain that much speed.

206
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Uh-huh.

207
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
But it definitely came from that way.

208
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Okay.

209
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
All right sir, thank you again.

210
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
All righty.

211
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Good night.

212
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Okay, thanks a lot.

213
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Goodbye.
