SIGHTING: MANTECA, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"1) at around 11:10pm went into the backyard to see if i could observe the new years comet with my green laser pointer. moon had already set. 2)i just stopped playing with laser and in the darkness i noticed movement directly above me out of the corner of my eye. 3) i immediately speculated maybe it was just a flock of geese flying in triangle shape and i couldn't see it. it was very difficult to see, just triangle edges blocking out stars, and maybe not as dark as the sky behind it. 4) completely silent, moving at a perfectly slow pace without a sound. i just kept moving. 5) upon seeing what i thought might be a flock of geese, i lit it up with my green laser. i was completely shocked when it bounced off the bottom of it. similar to how a laser reflects off a stop sign but not as bright. i think moved the laser around quickly like drawing in the sky to reveal the shape of the craft. it was triangle. long angled front, and appeared to be a slightly curved back. i yelled for my wife to come out and look. she did but didn't have her glasses. i was still able to reflect the laser off the bottom and pointed it out to her as it disppeared behind the trees. i looked for several minutes just in case it would return. it did not. 6) behind the treeline"
