Rotating dics-like object with raised dome center over El Cerrito, CA on 12/15/2007

I saw a flying saucer which flew and hovered over Richmond, CA on Saturday December 15th, 2007, around 6 or 6:30pm.

I was driving on Interestate 80 from Emeryvilee, CA to el Cerrito, CA, and while I was on the freeway, I saw a strange object in the sky moving from west to east.

It suddenly stopped and remained stationary, just hovering in the same spot for about one or two minutes and that's when I saw that it was a flying saucer. It looked like a stereotypical flying saucer from a 1950s movie. A rotating disc with a raised dome in the center.

Part of the dics was lit and I could see the lit portion everytime it rotated. It also appeared to have a central light on top of the raised dome.

I was trying to take a picture of it with my cell phone, but it was too difficult to do while driving on the freeway at 70mph.

I exited the freeway in El Cerrito, but by the time I parked the car, the object was gone.

As soon as I got home, I searched the news and googled 'UFO sightings in Bay Area', but didn't see anything related to what I'd just seen. So, I posted a rant on craigslist and about 8 people re-posted saying that they saw it too.

One guy SAID he was a scientists and said that we shouldn't be freaked out about it, stating that we're just one tiny planet in a universe full of solar systems and galaxies, and that we're probably not alone.

Another person re-posted and provided the NUFO Reporting Center website.

Anyway, I'm 100% serious, this is not joke, I saw a UFO.

Actually, it wasn't a UFO, because I was able to identify it - it was a flying saucer!!!!!

I'd estimate that it was flying about 1500 feet above the ground.
