Occurred : 10/30/2005 19:30 (Entered as : 10/30/05 19:30) Reported: 11/4/2005 10:47:11 AM 10:47 Posted: 11/8/2005 Location: Porterville, CA Shape: Unknown Duration: 30 seconds Characteristics: There were lights on the object
Light over Porterville, Ca. I am sending this report in as I just read the earlier post from Porterville. I was outside Standing in my driveway when I saw this same object. It caught my attention because the normal air traffic pattern in this area is North/South with very little variation. The only craft I have ever seen traveling East/West are military aircraft of some sort. I saw this object traveling almost due East. What I saw was a very bright light that was constant with no flashing or blinking as with normal aircraft lights. The object appeared to be at a lower altitude or was very large. I could hear absolutely no sound as it flew over. I would normally hear a jet engine if it were an airliner or normal military craft. We have an airport for smaller prop planes near the city, This was definitely not prop driven as we can always hear those planes overhead. Not sure what this craft was, but never have seen anything like it before. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))
