There was one light and it then broke off in like 4-5       different off shoots with smoke on each one. The witness and his       mom with several others said it appeared to be a parachute that went       right over their heads, but it was moving very very quickly. The       metal object with a parachute on it went over their heads and the       other off shoot pieces went in different directions. What appeared       to be a parachute the witness did not think was as it went over his       head very very fast. John Williams also stated that after receiving       the report he called the Sea-Tac duty officer at FAA and he said that       it could have been in cloud lightning because there were no military       aircraft in the area at that time.               CUFON - UFO Information Service then called the witness to get his       direct report. The witness stated that he was over at his parents       when he saw a bright light coming out of the south. He thought it       was one of the lights from a jet coming into the airport at first       as they are right by the airport, but realized it couldn't be because       the Sea-Tac Burien airport would be farther to the east. Then his       mom came out and he pointed it out and her description of it was the       best, she described it as a sparkler where you are looking at the       center of it with smoke coming off it. As the bright light started       dimming you could still see the smoke. It seemed to break up and       he lost track of all the other pieces save one. It looked as if they       had flown off it. The one big piece came sailing out and it looked       like a parachute with something on the end of it heading from south       to north slightly northeast over their heads at what seemed like an       incredible velocity. It looked, shape wise, like a parachute. The       fact that it seemed to be going so fast made him think it had to be       some kind of space craft or something. He never saw it descend, it       just shot across the sky. Observation was 30-45 seconds.        --------------------------------------               Report #: 197        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 12-01-1986        Subject: CULVER CITY, CA               CASE TYPE: LRS - NL        DATE: 21 NOVEMBER 1986         TIME: 2340 - 2345 HOURS         DURATION: 05-07: MINUTES        WITNESSES: ONE        SOURCE: CUFON - UFO INFORMATION SERVICE         --------------------------------------        One witness reported seeing over her street, LaSalle, an object that       the nose of it looked like a boomerang with a pyramid bottom. It       was a very windy and particularly clear night and when she looked       to the north she saw a formation coming towards her and her first       impression was that it was a flock of birds and then as it got closer       it looked like a formation of stars. They had a luminous glow to       them and they didn't look like head lamps or anything like that.       As it came closer she noticed there were more lights going across       the bottom of it like a stingray - solid at least underneath and she       could not see through it. As it came towards her the lights shut       off in the center and only the outline was left on. Stayed there       for about 5-7 minutes watching. As it came over her it went further       up in the sky and it was weird as no light in the belly of it but       she could see a formation of it and what it looked like but it kept       fading in and out. The lights in the front of the object stayed on,       no noise. The object was much larger than any plane she has ever       seen from wing to wing. A boomerang has very wide angles from one       end to the other as the object did also, and the nose of the object       was not sharp.        --------------------------------------               Report #: 198        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 12-10-1986        Subject: BAKERSFIELD, CA               CASE TYPE: LRS        DATE: 12 JULY 1986         TIME: UNKNOWN         DURATION: UNKNOWN        WITNESSES: THREE         SOURCE: MERCURY NEWS, SAN JOSE, CA         --------------------------------------        REDONDO BEACH - Andy Hoyt admits he has no proof - not anymore, at       least - that he witnessed the crash of an aircraft that may be the       Pentagon's most carefully guarded secret.              His sister, Lisa, and her 16-year-old son, Joey, reportedly also saw       the plane, but both declined to discuss the alleged incident. Hoyt,       an unemployed Redondo Beach carpenter, says he snapped photographs       of the plane as it plummeted to the ground in the Sequoia National       Forest near Bakersfield.              But the photographs were given to the Air Force, Hoyt says, and the       Air Force isn't talking.              Defense experts, however, say Hoyt's description of what he claims       he saw that night fits the most educated guesses of the configuration       of the top secret F-19 stealth fighter - a plane the Air Force will       not confirm even exists.              In a scenario that sounds like a science fiction movie, Hoyt says       he and two relatives saw something drop out of the sky and explode       into flames on the other side of a hill about a half-mile away.              "It seemed like it was something other than an airplane, said Hoyt,       26, who was on a camping trip. "Believe it or not, I thought it was       a UFO."              Whatever it was, he says, the military has been treating him royally       since he called Edwards Air Force Base when he returned home the following       Sunday evening and told the Air Force about the photographs.              Hoyt says he and his party were driving east on state Highway 178       about 15 miles northeast of Bakersfiled in the early morning hours       of July 12 when they pulled over for a brief rest. He was just climbing       back into his truck when he saw it.              "All I saw were three red lights and a dark image behind them like       an upside-down triangle." Hoyt said, adding that each light was at       a point of the triangle. He said he pulled a camera from the dashboard       of the truck and managed to take two or three pictures before the       plane disappeared over the hill.              Then, a pair of explosions "lit up the sky like it was daylight out."               Contrary to published reports on the day of the accident, Hoyt says,       the aircraft did not explode before it crashed. At least one Air       Force source has been quoted as saying plane exploded in midair, which       could explain why the pilot, who was killed, was not able to eject       safetly.              "It was definitely not on fire when it came down," Hoyt said. "Why       couldn't the guy eject?"              After making sure the blaze was reported on an emergency roadside       phone, the party continued to its campground north of nearby Lake       Isabella.              His call to Edwards upon returning home brought a sudden response       from the Air Force, Hoyt says. "They took my name and number and       within an hour someone had flown down here and talked to me," he said.              "They didn't press me, but they wanted to see the film in my camera."         --------------------------------------                 **********************************************        * THE U.F.O.
