    --------------------------------------   
   Sightings of strange flying objects have become more frequent in these   
   parts since late May when a California Highway Patrol officer spotted   
   a peculiar light in the sky during the wee hours of the morning.   
       
   But last weekend, not only did Sonoman Joan Burtson observe an unusual   
   flying object - this one toyed with her and followed her car for several   
   blocks before finally giving up and going away.   
       
   The head nurse at a local convalescent hospital dismesses the notion   
   that the bright object in the dawn sky which taunted her for some   
   15 minutes was a space ship carting around some alien beings.   
       
   "I don't believe in them," she emphatically states.  "I don't know   
   what it was but I don't believe in UFO's.  Burtson will acknowledge   
   that in the last few weeks she has heard numerous rumors of UFO sightings   
   in Sonoma Valley.   
       
   For instance, an acquaintance on Eighth Street East reported that   
   ever since the CHP officer saw the strange light two  months ago   
   "that thing has been hanging around here."   
       
   However, Burtson's description and that of the CHP patrolman are vastly   
   different leading one to believe there are several odd things hovering   
   around up there.   
       
   What was seen on the early morning of May 21 was a bright orange "X"   
   shaped object heading at a high rate of speed over the Valley to Petaluma.   
       
   The only similarity with Saturday's unexplained illuminating object   
   was that both were apparently headed in the same direction over the   
   hill to Petaluma.   
       
   Burtson remembers it as a "solid mass of white light, it was circular   
   about the size of an apple.   
       
   "There were no colors and it was not flashing."  she recalls.  Burtson's   
   curious find took place at 5:15 a.m. as she was on her way home from   
   Napa after dropping her husband Pat off at work.   
       
   She initially noticed the stationary light in the vicinity of Eighth   
   Street East and Napa Road.  Later as she approached Leveroni Road   
   from Fifth Street West the flying object moved along with her and   
   made the same right turn.   
       
   She subsequently made three U turns and each time the object would   
   seemingly use its remote control to reverse its course also.   
       
   "I thought to myself this is weird so I made three U turns to test   
   it out," she says.   
       
   On occasion, the UFO would become obscured by the trees but almost   
   the entire way home, no matter what Burtson would do " it would move   
   right along with me," she laughs.   
       
   Finally, the flying object, for whatever reason, decided the game   
   of cat and mouse was over and it headed towards the Diamond A area,   
   disappearing over the hill.

   Roosevelt Spurlock was relaxing on the front porch of his Oneida Home.   
   Mary Helton was at her Countryside Restaurant.  Margy Turner was also   
   finishing up her duties at the restaurant.  Vernon Stidham was at   
   his Red Bird home.   
       
   Still, they all said they seen it.  A large square object with red   
   lights, windows, hovering just above the big hills in Bullskin.   
       
   What these four people saw as well as many more Oneidians Tuesday   
   night has this small calm, peaceful mountain town in a complete uproar   
   Wednesday morning.   
       
   Air traffic controllers at the London Airport say it must have been   
   a large plane... possibly a B-52 flying a low altitude.   
       
   However, Roosevelt Spurlock, a forest ranger with the Peabody Ranger   
   Station says what he saw was no plane because he has seen a lot of   
   planes in his day.   
       
   Mary Helton swears what she saw was no plane.  "I saw it and it was   
   very big, scary, and square with windows,"  said the Oneida restaurant   
   owner.   
       
   "It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered" said Spurlock.   
   "I was sitting on my front porch and it came over the Bullskin mountains   
   barely cutting the mountaintops.   
       
   It had two front redlights and two back red lights.  It was square   
   and large and it scared me," said the forestry man.   
       
   "It just made this loud earpiercing sound, sort of like a whistling   
   sound" said Helton.   
       
   "This thing circled and came back traveling at a very slow speed,"   
   said Spurlock, "and no plane could go that slow."
