Bright white light seen decending into the hills of Newbury Park, Ca. Jan. 25th, 2007.

I saw a bright white light in the sky above Newbury Park, Ca. on the night of Jan. 25th, 2007 at approx. 19:15. I was in my car traveling South on Wendy Dr. at the intersection with Ruth st. I saw it through my windshield.

The light was descending rapidly into the hills south of Newbury Park, or possibly into the Portrero Regional Park area. It seemed to be very close.

I was wondering if you heard anything about sightings in that area around that time...

I called Ventura County Sherriff about 20:00, and they confirmed my sighting by telling me that they had another call reporting a possible plane crashing in the hills and were sending a helicopter to investigate. I called the next morning and the deputy I spoke to told me that he was on duty the night before and that there was no helicopter dispatched. I repeated the name of the deputy I had spoken to the night before (Gloria). He put me on hold, and after a minute or so came back and confirmed that a helicopter had been dispatched, and that nothing was found.

My wife told me she was listening to the Coast To Coast radio program Jan. 30th, and that you said you had spoken to Sydney Sheldon last week before he passed away about a sighting in Malibu. We called Malibu Sherriff and they told us of a report of green lights in the sky between 19:00 and 20:00 that same night...Malibu is just south of this area.
