National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 8/7/2019 20:55 (Entered as : 09/07/19 20:55) Reported: 8/7/2019 9:11:50 PM 21:11 Posted: 8/23/2019 Location: Santa Barbara, CA Shape: Flash Duration: 5 minutes
Repeat of last night Apologies if the previous report was sent twice. Regarding the latter, I witnessed a nearly identical uap to the one witnessed last night. The trajectory and apparent velocity were the same however the flash frequency was about 60 s rather than 22 s. i.e. the object flashed 5 times tonight and 11-12 last night. Direction was nw. Flash brightness was constant from zenith to mountainous horizon. This is not possible with a rotating satellite unless its axis of rotation is changing with my location as tangent wrt the sun. . This is exceedingly unlikely. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))
