SIGHTING: BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was inside the lodge eating dinner. My friend Eric got me because he had seen something. In the Western sky over the ocean there seemed to be a distant, dull light moving near the horizon that clearly was not a planet or star. Then, large bright flashes of light, four in a vertical row, appeared in sequence towards zenith. The flashes appeared to have blue/green, red then a gold color. Their light was bright enough (perhaps close enough) to the water to reflect light on the surface like the Moon or a search light.I felt a calm, familiar presence from them. A second series, this time as many as seven, but more than four, going horizontally from W to S appeared soon after. This was the last observation about 7PM in the evening. "
