SIGHTING: EUREKA, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"it was about 10:20 pm when I went outside to smoke. I first heard a very loud rumbling noise that shook the house very slightly. My first take was that a really huge jet must be flying very low over the house, which would be unusual. I stepped out onto the deck and looked up, not seeing anything at first. As I walked out further on the deck, I looked straight up and behind me, and saw what seemed to be a light colored elongated octagonal craft with a solid orange light at each corner (as if the elongated octogon were actually a rectangle) and a large red blinking light at the center of the craft. It moved very slowly from due west toward due east at an altitude that I would guestimate was around 1000 ft. I grabbed my binoculars and watched it for about a minute, although as it was steadily moving away from me, I couldnt discern any other features other than Ive described. The object was flat. I could hear it before it had gotten to be directly overhead. The sound was a loud low rumble. When I had come inside to grab my binoculars, my wife came out with me and also observed the object. We watched it for about two to two and a half minutes, until its line of sight fell below the tops of the neighboring houses."
