NUFORC Sighting 108403

Occurred: 2014-01-15 14:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2014-04-06 16:52 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Dana Point, CA, USA

Shape: Sphere


Black object flew around coastal cloud, then flew into the cloud, cloud dissipated 20 min. later.

While on patrol on the Dana Point Headlands, I noted what I thought was a large bird (Turkey Vulture) flying in the sky .

It was black and the shape (round) was not correct for a bird. The object was circular.

I next noted the object traveled near a round-shaped "rain" cloud.

The object then disappeared into the cloud. Birds do not do that.

I waited for the object to re-appear on the other side of the cloud as this was not a large cloud, but it never did.

I continued to wait and watch but never saw the object again.

I noted after about 15 minutes that the cloud was shrinking almost in on itself.

After 20 minutes, the cloud was completely gone.

(Water harvesting?)

The direction I was looking was to the South toward the city of San Clemente, but also it could have been over the restricted airspace of Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Base, which is very close.

I thought this was very odd to say the least.
