SIGHTING: APTOS, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At 2:30 pm, on june 20th, i was standing on the cliff above la selva beach, ca. it was a clear cloudless day. was looking at ocean then i looked to the sky. there high above was a very shiny object heading west. it seemed 1/2 the size of a jet. too high for a small plane and had no wings. no contrails involved. i was intrigued of its shine, thinking it was a very new plane. after what seemed a couple of minutes, it completely disappeared. i thought it must be behind something, but it was a clear cloudless day. i went over to a man standing near me because he had binoculars. but he was looking for creatures of the sea. and when i told him what i saw, felt like a complete idiot as his response was very demeaning. so i backed off from him a few feet, then looked up again. there it was again, only not so far west. same object, appeared for a few seconds, then disappeared. then there was a flash or burst of light, not the object itself but in front of the object. very strange. i'm really doubting what i saw. did anyone else see this? i have never had a sighting of a ufo before. i don't follow it except on occasion when the military or nasa reports something. so that is my report. all i can say, it was a cross between a cylinder and rectangle. afterwards, a small plane flew in the opposite direction, and was very dark. this was not a small plane that i saw. nor was it a jet."
