1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Yes, this is Colleagues from the LA County Sheriff's Department. Can you accept charges?

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Yes ma'am.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Go ahead, sir.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Good morning.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Yes, sir.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
I'm here in LA County Sheriff's Department.

7
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Yes, sir.

8
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I've got an experience Sunday night on the lower California desert where I think I spotted

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
a UFO.

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Okay, let's hear about it.

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Well, I've got to believe that there's a logical explanation and yet I can't find one.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
We were driving on the old Highway 66 just south of the new highway.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Yes.

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:46,000
14 miles east of Amboy and all of a sudden it, you know, not something that flashed on,

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:54,000
but all of a sudden we were just conscious of a series of lights, yellowish cast to them

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:02,000
that went up into the air from what appeared pretty close to ground level.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Yes.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Went up into the air, bending to the right and then back to the left and up at the top,

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
like a point.

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Depth perception out on the desert at night. This is 20 minutes of night at night.

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And our depth perception is practically nothing.

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,000
If it was something on the structure, the structure would have to have been within a half of a

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
mile of us and probably 500 feet tall, three to 500 feet anyway.

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:46,000
If what we saw, the lights were, put, there's say 20 or 30 miles, it would have to be on

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
a 5000 foot amount.

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And the lights, we saw the lights for probably 30 to 40 seconds.

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Then the middle section faded slowly. They didn't just disappear, faded slowly.

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
The bottom section faded out. And then the lights on up to the top of the point faded out

29
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
and the point was the last one to fade out.

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And there was a full moon and as I continued to drive west, I looked out to the left where we thought we saw these things.

31
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I could see no structure out there and there isn't a mountain within 20 miles.

32
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay, did you have a chance to count those lights?

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
No, I would guess that there would be around 20 to 25.

34
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Okay, they hold a straight line.

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And stationary.

36
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Absolutely stationary. That's what makes me think it's on the structure of some kind out there, although I didn't see any structure.

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Okay.

38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
They didn't go up, didn't go down, they didn't change in relationship to each other.

39
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Okay, what was the date of that again?

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:16,000
It was Sunday night, which would be the 25th at 8.40.

41
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Okay.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
At 9 p.m.

43
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
How were the sky conditions?

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Very clear. There were some scattered high clouds, but a full moon and extremely clear.

45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Okay.

46
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Which direction were you looking again?

47
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
We were looking almost directly west.

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Maybe 10 degrees south of directly west.

49
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
The size of those lights, can you compare them with anything?

50
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Well, again, it's hard to say because I have no idea how far they were away from me.

51
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Okay.

52
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:08,000
They could have, if say it was on a structure that was about a half mile away, they would have been probably 300 watt volts.

53
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Right.

54
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But of course, if it was a distance of several miles, they would have to have been quite big and quite powerful.

55
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Okay.

56
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
And my wife also saw this.

57
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
And you agreed that what you both saw then?

58
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Well, we didn't talk about it, a great deal.

59
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:44,000
I purposely didn't because if what we did see is unexplained, whoever investigates it would want to talk to us separately.

60
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Okay. You're with Los Angeles County?

61
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Los Angeles County, sure.

62
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Okay.

63
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000
I'm sure we appreciate your reporting this and if we get any further information on this, we'll get back to you and let you know.

64
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Okay. It was a big enough phenomenon, whatever you want to call it.

65
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:15,000
So somebody else in that area, probably out on Highway 66 itself, the new highway, must also have seen it.

66
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And again, of course, if it's a structure out there in the desert that I couldn't see or didn't see, as explained.

67
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Well, of course, if it had been a permanent structure out there, they'd be the most likely that these lights never would have went out.

68
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Well, that's the thing that gets me. They didn't turn out like you would a light bulb.

69
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Right.

70
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:47,000
They went dim and took, oh, four to six seconds to disappear when they started to dim.

71
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Right.

72
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And they did it one at a time.

73
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Okay. Were they bright enough to illuminate an area around that section?

74
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I couldn't really say.

75
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:10,000
There again, it was something up in the air, but appeared to go from, there was a mound in front of us.

76
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
So we couldn't see at all the way to our desert floor level.

77
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Right.

78
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
But it appeared to go from pretty close to the ground up and it is no telling how far away it was.

79
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
There was nothing that you could see in between the lights.

80
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Yes.

81
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
That's what you're driving.

82
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Right.

83
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Yeah. No, I could see no structure, no form of any kind between the lights.

84
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Okay. Good enough.

85
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
All right, sir, we thank you again. We really appreciate your cooperation.

86
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Okay. Thank you.

87
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Right.

88
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Bye.
