Young woman, and her boyfriend, witness a bizarre dis-shaped obj. hovering nearby.

Telephoned Report: A mother calls to recount her daughter's experience in Newport, CA.

The daughter was driving with her boyfriend, when the two of them observed a large disc hovering motionless beside the road. It appeared to them to have a distinct "bulge" on the top side of the object, and it had flashing green and blue lights along the edge of the flange of the object.

The boyfriend stopped his car, and the young woman (age 22 yrs.) attempted to photograph the object with her digital camera. When the flash of the camera flashed, the object suddenly shot toward the witnesses, passing over their car. They both heard a peculiar buzzing or humming, as it passed over.

Daughter reported to her mother that there were an estimated 10 other vehicles stopped on the same road, and that at least one police cruiser also was present.

Mother telephoned the Newport Police Department, but the police did not volunteer that any incident had been reported to their offices.

NUFORC is awaiting a written report from the two witnesses.
