I was in High School just got out of late Basketball Practice. My older brother came to pick me up and take me home. It was late evening. It was dark, cold outside. It was off Bolsa Road off Hwy 25 on old McConnell Road where this occured. Observation: 2 large orange glowing objects kept spinning (high rate of speed) side to side of one another. They were somewhat Oval/Egg shape. I recall that they spun almost oblong looking in other words not perfectly round. My brother asked me if I was seeing what he was seeing. He had stopped the Car on the one way road near our mailbox that was near the Apricot/Walnut orchard trees. I told him yes, what do you think it is ? He said I believe they are UFO's and then he told me he was scared. I did not take my eyes off the orange objects. I was more frozen then anything out of fear of what we were seeing. About that time I recall thinking to myself I wonder if anyone else is seeing what we are seeing. All I saw on the right side in the distance of Hwy 25. was one car going by. We were all alone on this one way road (McConnell). About that time my brother asked me what we should do? I said I don't know. He said should we call the cops or should we just go home and tell our mom. I wanted to keep looking at the objects. But he started to get more scared of what we were seeing. So we went home and my brother told my mom who was in the Kitchen when we returned home. To this day that brother is a Director of Engineers in Silicon Valley. I brought it up to him about three years ago and he was uncomfortable about the subject and was in denial (to himself) of the subject. It was as if he wanted it to all go away and NEVER be brought up again. So I never talk about it to him out of respect.
