NUFORC Sighting 01571

Occurred: 1996-06-18 00:00 Local
Reported: 1996-06-18 00:00 Pacific
Duration:

Location: Sacramento, CA, USA

Shape:

Young man was driving on East Business Route, I-80, in Sacramento. He noticed an object, which at first looked like a conventional aircraft, but it had four white lights. He could not see any shape to the object, even though it was moving toward the observers, and a bit to the right.

The object looked like it was in a landing mode, very low, but there is no airport in that area. The object then rolled to one side, and suddenly they could see it. It then descended into a nearby neighborhood. It did not move like a conventional aircraft.

They drove toward the object, but they lost sight of it because of nearby trees. They returned to the highway, hoping to see it, but it was no longer visible.

I gave the caller the telephone number for Ruben Uriarte.
