Witness Testimony

"This was reported to me, john cruzan field investigator #22019, via email. the reporting party did not want any personal info made public. his statement is below. "not real sure what it was, just saw a orange glowing light ,fairly big around flying across the sky, it was fast, moving up, down ,left ,right quickly, not a plane or chopper, then just disappeared, weird. it was close, not far away. not real sure what it was, i was never too much into ufo stuff, but this was no plane, bright orange light with a orange glow around it, also was about 30 sec before there was a flash like lightning, but no clouds then just disappeared." i asked "you are sure it was not the life flight helicopter, correct?" he replied "no, see those all the time, also, no sound. it was just east of my place when it disappeared, hospital is west" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.S. i have also received verbal reports of a similar object in the western sky with military jet aircraft flying near it on almost a weekly basis, i haven't been able to verify more on this yet. will file a separate report. -john cruzan "
