SIGHTING: JANICO (SANTIAGO) (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC)

Witness Testimony

"The craft stood directly above the center of the town, the most vivid assortment of lights. In the blink of an eye, it dissappeared, leaving a vaporizing yellow trail behind, towards our right.Janico, is a small town, in a valley like area, in the Dominican Republic. A couple of weeks before, they had just started the inauguration of the Feast for their patron Saint "La Virgen De Las Mercedes". They use fireworks known as sky-rockets, but 1/2 inch think, to start the celebrations. That night a group of people had assembled in the park, which is located in the center of the town. My father, who is a photographer, had decided to put his equipment away, at our house, a block away from the park. A friend of mine noticed a firey stream coming from behind a mountain. He yelled, "Hey, look! some kids are shooting sky-rockets from that mountain." When we all turned to look, the comet like tail was going up, then it started to decend. Before we could even breath, a circular object was directly above us, blinking the most vivid assortment of colors I have ever seen. Then it dissapeared leaving a yellow light heading to our right, which evaporated slowly."
