Disk "materializes" in vertical position in the sky, 225 Ft. from me, then manuevers to horizontal position and descends behind hill

It was a moonless night about 9:15 pm. I was camping at Lost Lake Recreation Area. I sat by the San Joaquin River, Looked up and saw a "ribbon of light" vertical in the sky. It was dark grey in color, and materialized 225 ft. from where I sat at a picnic table which was about 2 ft. from the water, on the Fresno County Side of the San Joaquin River inside Lost Lake Recreation Area. The disk was on its side, vertical, when it appeared. It then manuevered itself into a horizontal position. There was a row of lighted windows around the entire craft. It made no noise and it descended behind a hill on the Madera County side of the San Joaquin River on land that is owned by the Water Reclamation Bureau, the northern most point of the strip of land is just south (below) the Friant Dam, and runs south, the length of the San Joaquin River. And, running alongside the government land, are grape vineyards owned by a private party. The name of the private road running adjacent to where the craft appeared to descend is Bureau Road. I did not have my cellphone with me.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Missing Time

Summer of 2017, Friant, California… On the Madera side of Millerton, there is a dead end in which families can set up BBQ's and a dock for people with boats. It was approximately 9:40 when my boyfriend and i noticed people hanging out on the dock enjoying the stars.

We decided to walk down to the dock and do the same. When we got to the dock we sat down for a few moments to wait for the other people to leave so we could sit at the very end. Eventually they left and we sat on the end. Just looking into the sky discussing our relationship problems no more than two minutes into the conversation we notice a light flying smoothly threw the sky, not fast like a jet and not slow like a airplane.. It just glided vertically through the sky and before we knew it, it zoomed up into the sky horizontally and just disappeared. As it zoomed up to disappear it didnt just move at a crazy speed its almost if it just faded up into the sky. We could depict what it was, we were ! so shocked we couldn't bring our minds the the thought of us actually sighting a ufo. Crazy part is, you'd think we'd be so stoked and tell our family, but its as if the whole moment slipped our mind cause we never brought up… i'm a strong believer so how could something like this just slip my mind til this year of 2018? How did i not instantly react and pull out my phone? It's like being stuck in the moment made us forget what was really happening…




NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Electrical or magnetic effects

Flying colors in the middle of nowhere.

I was driving down the road which was empty at the time and looked up at the sky because I saw pretty colors which were red, green and blue.

At first I thought it was a reflection of something but quickly noticed it wasn't. I pulled over so I could get a clean clear picture because it was so close and my phone froze, which has never happened before.

By the time my phone unfroze it was gone.

And I don't do drugs or drink and I wasn't sleepy, it was not my imagination playing tricks on me.
