Witnessed a silent, jellyfish-like UFO with flashing lights at tree-level, moving slowly and turning into a street before vanishing.

My husband and I observed a transparent object with small but many flashing lights, resembling a jellyfish UFO seen online. It was about 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide, flying silently at tree-level altitude. The UFO moved at a jogging pace, and we followed it as it turned into a residential street. However, we paused to let a car pass, and when we looked back, it had disappeared. The object seemed to have a sense of direction, avoiding an open intersection. Unfortunately, we were too excited to capture any photos or videos.

Round reflective odd moving shapes internally. Stationary

I noticed a circular object by eye against blue sky. At time there where some clouds and they did pass below object blocking view at times. Grabbed binoculars and got a more detailed view. Object was round with an either reflective or energized outline. Internally odd shapes were viewed also reflective or energized and slowly changed shaped. I viewed stationary object for roughly an hour before clouds ultimately blocked view. I did read through social media that a similar object has been witnessed. Also note that the Livermore National Laboratory is in a neighboring city. I view things with a skeptical mind, however have never seen anything like this object to date! Truly strange!

While walking my dog I witnessed a constant "herd" of hundreds of satellites travel across the sky for 33 minutes.

While walking my dog on Tuesday from 9:45-10:18 ((p.m.)), I witnessed a constant flow of hundreds of satellites travel across the sky for roughly 33 minutes.

The satellites were traveling from a north east to south west direction. It looked as if someone cast a net of hundreds of satellites over the sky. They traveled in the same direction were similar sizes and moved at the same constant speed. The sky was so full of these satellites that it reminded me of watching rush hour traffic on the freeway. I watched until the “satellite traffic” thinned out and cloud cover obstructed my view.

I want to make it clear that I saw HUNDREDS of satellites and these were not the Star Link constellation or any type of meteor shower. I am an avid sky watcher and know that these were satellites. I realize that you collect UFO sightings, but I didn't know where else to share what I witnessed. I’m curious to know if anyone else reported seeing them or if anyone knows what their purpose might be.

immediately the suv was shaken enough that her husband exclaimed. “Woah what was that” His wife explained that a object (ufo?) flew over and rocked the suv enough that her husband wondered what shook the vehicle. She didn’t mention any sound.

We saw 3 bright lights in a tight configuration not moving in any particular direction. They looked stationary but with some slight drift over time. The 3 lights began to form a triangle shape and it seemed to be almost a equidistant ole triangle but a little off. Shortly after the triangle formed a 4th light appeared in the same tight cluster. After seeing these craft and just finishing a film shoot we pulled over and grabbed our camera out of the hatchback.

We stopped and took some photos and a video clip. One of the lights slowly flew off into the west. The lights were most likely between Pleasanton and Fremont, CA. at an altitude much lower then commercial airliners, but wouldn't be out of the ordinary height for a helicopter.




NUFORC Note:

The witness has submitted two high-quality night photos, showing an almost full Moon, and four much smaller lights in a triangular formation. We do not know what the lights are. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Being/Creature/Object Photo.

Hello, I find that taking photos when the planes are spraying, often reveals anomalous images. I took this with my cell phone camera.

There were no birds flying in the area at which the camera was pointed. Also, I did not see this Being/Creature/Object with my eyes when I took the photos – I could only see the plane.

Less than 2 seconds later, I took another shot, and the strange Being/Creature/Object is not visible, but the plane is, and from my viewing point, it has not moved very far from where it was in the first photo.

4 bright orange lights in the sky.

I was outside in the backyard when I noticed a bright orange light in the sky. When I saw another light behind it, I called my daughter and her dad to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. We then noticed two more lights coming up behind them. The lights went sideways before it started to dim and disappear one by one. We didn’t hear any sounds coming from it.

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object

White cigar shaped craft with blue light and black square.

Around 5pm on a clear, sunny day, I spotted a slow moving craft about 500 feet above me. I originally thought it was a small airplane and disregarded it further, but when I noticed the craft stopped and hovered I paid closer attention and realized that it was no plane. Planes don’t hover. And it was not shaped like a helicopter, it was cigar shaped. Indeed I could not see any wings or rotary blades on it, just a white cigar shaped craft with a lone slow, blinking light at the rear of the craft.

The light was very interesting. It wasn’t the normal cobalt blue you might see on a plane. It was more of an aqua color, which would then become a lighter aqua after it blinked and then blink back to the darker aqua. And it would blink more slowly than a typical craft light.

Even more bizarre was after about every 10 blinks, a large square black object seemed to replace the light for about 3 seconds only to be replaced back by the blue blinking light. This black door would take up about one third of the craft and then completely disappear whenever the blue light came back on. I thought maybe a cargo door was opening and closing, that’s my best guess, but the switch happened too quickly. In fact there was something that defied the laws of physics about that black square. It was so densely black that it felt like a black hole had opened up, not just a cargo door. Also, the white body of the craft seemed to have a white mist around it – its outline seemed blurred by the mist – which was odd because there were absolutely no clouds in the sky. And there was no vapor trail tailing behind the craft. By contrast the lines of the black square were extremely crisp, no mist, no blur.

I pointed the object out to some passing neighbors and they too thought it was an odd craft. We all agreed it couldn’t be a blimp and but instead seemed like a UFO. After about 3 minutes the craft stopped hovering and proceeded eastbound at the same slow pace. I looked away for about 15 seconds and when I returned my gaze the craft was gone. The whole sighting was no more than 5 minutes.

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object

I had driven home after a night of work and was outside having a ciggertte before going inside. i live out in the country on a ranch and enjoy sitting outside watching stars at night.

I saw a bright flash in the western sky and started watching the area. I started seeing an object flashing in a non ethnic fashion. Some flashes where very bright, some dim, some were slow to illuminate and then disaster and others were very fast. None of them had the same timing or length of illumination or brightness. The object was either hovering in a triangular pattern or there was more than one. I could not see the craft itself, only the flashes of light. This lasted for a couple mins until I thought to record it with my camera phone. There was no sound at all and it seemed to be very very high in the sky. It stayed in the area for a couple mins of my recording and then slowly moved off to the north west until I lost it behind the trees. Shortly afterwards the! re was a large amount of shooting stars but nothing was registered at the meteor monitoring agency in San Antonio. It lasted a few mins then stopped. The shooting stars all came in diffrent directions. I have visited of the siting but don't have a computer to down load, so it's still on my cell phone.

I contacted Clyde Lewis and he told me to report it here after he saw the video. I will send the video when I'm contacted.

on June 6, 2016 at approximately 2pm, while driving home on the 680 freeway in Pleasanton, CA, I saw objects in the sky that caught my attention. I was going approximately 75 mph, so I glanced out my side window and saw 7 or 8 objects that were shaped like teardrops or tadpoles. They seemed to be half silver and half see thru or whitish. They were traveling up and away and darting around and weaving with each other.

I looked at the road, then out my windshield, and saw the same thing. I looked out the side window again and they were still there, weaving in and out of their paths. Then I saw my exit and planned to stop and get a better look. But they were gone.

The sky was clear, no clouds at all. I saw what looked like a plane in the distance, much farther, it was small and white and tubular shaped and it disappeared as well. They seemed real, and not my imagination. They did not look like anything I have seen on TV. The objects did not fit any of the characteristics on the form. It was an exciting moment.

Firework like spark close to ground with an oddly high and long Chem trail behind it.

While a passenger in a car, I noticed what I thought to be a shooting star, but when it dissipated saw it was quite a bit closer to the ground, maybe 100' high. It flashed orange and yellow, and must have been around the size of a softball.

When I looked back to the sky toward where the object would've come from there was a trail like that from a jet coming from very high up and coming down to about 100' off the ground.

Also strangely not noticed was any sound whatsoever.

A plane was nearby, flying towards it when it occurred.

Yellowish oval like object descend from sky and land

On this Saturday morning, i was looking at a star which resembled a object that a friend had mentioned the night before. The lights i was seeing ended up being the Vega star so it what i witnessed was in line with Vega but had nothing to do with it. Upon gazing at Vega i see two oval shaped pale yellowish but pointed ends instead of round. There was no light of any kind the housing and street lights made the objects visible. There was also no sound what so ever total silence. They had mass whether these were entities or a type of flying device i do not know.

Both came down at a very fast rate of speed and almost vertical, while both objects were positioned at 45 degree angles dull looking surfaces. One was ahead of the other by 6 feet as both objects got with in 15 to 20 feet from the top of my next door neighbors home, began to dramatically slow their high rate of speed which tells me these objects were not falling or crashing out of the sky but landing. They were identical to one another about a foot in length and half a foot across thickness unknown. After they went lower the house blocking my view i quickly went inside for fear of who knows what the heck is in my next door neighbors backyard right now. Did not stick around to see if they left or still there or what.

On 11/16/2012, I was with a friend getting ready for a morning duck hunt in Pleasanton, KS. At around 4AM, we witnessed an orange, elongated (it was longer than it was wide) object/light moving at an incredible rate of speed. It was mostly fire orange in color but at the front/tip, it seemed a lighter orange or possibly whitish orange. It seemed like a fast moving plane on fire when I first viewed it; but at closer glance realized it was not anything like that. The object was to our West moving North to South at a constant speed and altitude. There was no noise at all. We had been seeing shooting stars all night and this object was nowhere near that kind of speed (buzzing across the entire skyline in 2 seconds). However, it was moving fast enough that we were only able to view it for about 12 seconds before it was far enough away we could no longer see it.

Three of us in our home heard a deep humming sound; two of us went outside to investigate and saw red/orange strobe lights.

My daughter and I were upstairs in separate rooms when we heard a deep humming sound. The sound continued for a few minutes. I was at my desk with my back to the east window, and my back began to feel the vibrations of the hum.

My daughter, also alone in her room at her desk, heard the same thing and asked me about it. She thought it sounded like a synthesizer. I wondered if my other daughter was downstairs using the cake mixer, but, in the past, the cake mixer never sounded like that, nor did the sound carry upstairs.

We decided to get our video recorder and go outside. That is when we saw a red flashing light. It flashed like a strobe light. I knew it wasn't a helicopter or a small airplane, nor a commercial jet. Each time the red light flashed, red and orange lights beneath the object rotated in strobe-like fashion. The only sound was a very deep hum.

It continued at a north at a normal speed. For some time we could hear the hum.

I drew the craft immediately once we returned inside. What I drew looks more like a flying saucer.

Black disc, Unidentified Flying Object just south of San Antonio, Tx

Pleasanton,Tx. 5:30pm: I was sitting outside, on the phone in my backyard. It was a breezy afternoon...The sky was a beautiful pink and as I was enjoying the view, I noticed in the distance coming from the southeast, what I believed was a balloon someone let go. I even called out to my son to look at the balloon! But then I thought it was too high.

As I continued to watch it, I realized it was not at all a balloon as it never weaved. It was a simple black, what appeared flat looking circle. Seemed to travel as fast as a jet may. There were no lights or ridges on it. It was like seeing a black polkadot cross the sky above me. It disappeared heading northwest. I was so mesmerized by it that I did not dare run in to get a camera, I was afraid to lose track of it. I wish I would have.

Two crafts, shaped like sheres/ovals, appeared thirty seconds apart from each other and the second one circled around the first twice

In Pleasanton CA I saw a small, silvery sphere just above my rooftop that was stationary in the afternoon sky. As I moved further away from my house, a second identical sphere appeared about an inch (from my perspective) beneath the original one, horizontally to the left, about thirty seconds after I saw the first craft.

I called my sister out of the house to come and look at the sighting, which she reluctantly did, and saw the two objects in the sky. We went back in together, her to her room again, and I went to get binoculars to better see what they looked like and where they were moving to. With the binoculars I could clearly make out the shape and exterior color/material. It appeared to be a copper-silver blend, but was reflecting a piercing pearl light from the center, which I suspect was a reflection from the sun.

The shape of the object was similar to a Chinese lantern laying on its side; the center was clearly defined by a built-in skeleton th! at resembled raised tubing on its shimmering surface. Above this visible division was a row of black that I could not make out as compartmentalized in any way; it appeared to be a consistent strip around.

After about two minutes the secondary craft began to orbit around the primary one slowly, to which it went around twice and then stopped, mid-rotation, in the exact spot it had originally appeared, on the reverse side. The duration of the rotations was approx. one minute, forty-five seconds. I was timing as best I could with my watch. The two drew together and separated three times in the same straight line position and then stopped moving. They sat there for approx. 6 minutes, and then started to drift away, but slowly. It was another 8 minutes or so until I could not longer see them.

I came back inside the house and drank some water, talked to my mother regarding the situation and found a hotline to report sightings. I called and they suggested I submit my written report to document the sighting. Here it is. I only wish I had a camera to document, but now I know that and will try to have something immediately available. This is not the first sighting I have encountered, but it is the first I have reported.

One red light on Top of and white lights on bottom, green lights that blink turn on every once in a while. At bottom of grade at Livermore Exit Object appeared to hover in place as planes flew within close proximity of object. Object seemed to transform shape or move lights and could be seen clearly at this point. Lost Object eventually behind eastern hills as I continued North on 680 until Bernal Exit. Sighted in the southern sky at this point still alternating lights and hovering slowly gliding east.

Chased object easterly through Pleasanton until an end road off Vineyard Ave. Stopped car at dead end and exited car.

Three orbs over the Tri-Valley area

I was taking a really late drive in my home town of Pleasanton, and on my way back home sometime after 4am I saw two brightly shining orbs in the distance to my right. They were vertically parallel, and the bottom one was slightly bigger (ie. closer). Because I'm deathly curious and and a UFO/alien fanatic, I immediately turned in that direction. Gradually the bottom orb increased in size as I twisted through the neighborhood I'd entered, and before I knew it I was almost directly beneath it.

No longer appearing as an orb, the UFO was extremely close enough to the ground; I'm not great with measuring distances, but to give you an idea, to my vision it was about the size of making circle with your index finger and thumb. It was rather egg-shaped, if the egg were on its side, and it appeared to be black, although it was hard to distinguish color in the dark of night. I remember the arrangement of the ship's lights looking rather like three, bright bug-eyes.

As I raced through the suburban streets to keep pursuit, the UFO slowly flew overhead at a constant pace. Eventually it decided it was done there (or as I like to believe, wanted to lose me) and picked up speed so it was impossible to continue the chase. I watched it fly away from me, and suddenly it was above the hills on the far side of town.

Hopeful to see more, I drove in that direction, and during this drive I saw two more very shiny orbs hovering on either end of town. After waking up another space-loving friend of mine to watch the two, I changed course for a nearby set of hills one of them seemed to be over. When the orb didn't get any bigger after a short hike, I gave up, but from that hill I had a fantastic view of one of the UFOs directly above the center of the valley. From this view I also noticed a human aircraft flying over the valley but at a lower altitude than the UFOs.

Around 6am, when the sky was finally starting to lighten from daylight, I returned home on the outskirts of town to clearly see another orb over the neighboring city. With such a clear view in the morning sky, I woke up my parents to witness the UFO as well.

Shape: Teardrop


Fast, zig zagging black tear dropped shaped object seen in the middle of the day.

This was 6 years ago so some of the details are a little off, but here goes what I best remember.

I was standing outside, playing basketball and admiring the wispy clouds when something catches my eye, a black object hovering in my peripheral. I turn 90 degrees to see it hovering about 1000 or so feet above the ground, not rotating, just hovering there. I take a step towards it after staring for three seconds and it instantly shoots up about 2000 more feet and hovered there for another couple seconds before jetting off over my head in a very sharp zigzagging pattern at extremely high speeds and disappearing out of sight in a matter of 5 seconds or so. I felt uneasy afterwards and then headed back inside.

My memory on this is hazy as I'd somewhat repressed it in the back of my mind until two months ago when my psychiatrist helped me remember it. This has recently inspired me to get into the field of ufology and find out what it was I saw that day, or possibly see something like it again.

Large saucer shaped object, with many windows, which was flying slow and low to the ground was seen tonight.

In the city of Pleasanton my mother, a friend (11 yrs.), and me(11 yrs.) witnessed a UFO at approximately 8:40 PM western time. We were driving in the car.

I was the first to notice it. It appeared to have a greenish aurora to the metal body of the craft. The top three rows of windows and the bottom three rows of windows were square and seemed to be windows, which were emanating an unearthly white glow. There were also two rows of circular shaped windows in the middle of the ship from my point of reference that emanated the same white glow.

There were also two red lights one was located towards the top, and the other was located towards the bottom. These red lights pulsed on and off every couple of seconds. There were also many white lights that were around the edge of the craft. The lights had the same glow as the windows.

The ship was located 50 to 100 feet above the tree line and was moving around 40 miles per hour. It seemed like I was looking towards the bottom and sides from my location in the back seat of the car.

One slow moving Illuminated Saucer Shaped craft seen about 50 ft. above the tree-line moving in a southeast direction.

I was taking my son’s friend home tonight about 8:40 PM and the boys were talking when all of a sudden my son started saying "Oh my God,"

So I asked what was he saying that for and he wouldn’t tell us. At that point we were on Neal St.

Then I turned onto Stanley Blvd. and all of a sudden I saw what he was talking about. There was no mistaking that it was a saucer shaped flying craft. It was moving very slow and it was only about 50 ft. above the tree-line.

It had two red blinking lights and it was illuminated. The saucer was lit up but not really with any kind of lights familiar to me. It was like the silver metal glowed somehow. There was a bubble shaped cabin on top of it with lots of small rectangular windows going all around it, that glowed white. This was a very big disk. If compared to the moon right beside it, then the disk was bigger. It was flying tilted on its side laterally coming from a northwest direction and flying southeast.

I could not stop because I was in traffic and I had to get my son’s friend home. Now I wish I had my camera with me. It was just like in the movies the way it appeared and it was so vivid. I will never forget it.

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Saw a silver round object high in the sky, unsure what it could be.

I was driving my car on the way to the gym when I noticed something in the sky that looked to be at an altitude a bit higher than your normal airplane flys. I watched it, and it seemed to be the shape of a small circle, silver colored. It was moving slowly in the direction which I believe is to be south of where I was. I was still driving, approaching a red light, and kept an eye on it.

Once I had a feeling that it was not an airplane, I decided I would turn left into a buisness area to get a better look. Stopped at the red light, I was able to watch the object for a good 30-45 seconds. I noticed it was still moving slowly (I was completely stopped), and the color appeared to be a white/silver color. But every few seconds it would turn a darker color, almost as if it was rotating, and the other side had a different color. Maybe it was the reflection of light on it, but that did not seem the case to me.

When the light turned green, I quickly turned and pulled into a parking lot. When I got out to search for the object, I could not find it. I had no idea where it had gone, maybe it was still around, but I could not see it.

Observed V formation of 10 objects flying from SE to NW over Pleasanton CA

I saw a formation of orange-colored craft, about 10 or 11, flying from the southeast to the northwest. The fly over took about 15 seconds, during which that crafts retained their forward speed but changed formation several times. The formations were single V, reversed V, multiple V's and a line, all changes were executing quickly and smoothly with no change on forward speed. I also experienced a deep sense of peace while watching these crafts fly over.

going outside to say goodbye to family when I looked into the sky and seen two lights one front of the other.

two lights one in front of the other with a cigar shaped form inbetween. They were traveling east at a very very slow rate of speed.

Saw a what we thought at first as a very large bright STAR or planet? then the object in the S/W direction (from our back yard) dropped or launched a smaller object from it. It was a straight dowm drop from the larger object. The second object we saw was Northwest from where we were standing in our back yard in Pleasanton CA. This 2nd object was red-yellow and also very bright in appearance, It appeared to fire sometype of projectile to the South, the projectile was quick and as it shot-out from the object it was fast then slowed and disappeared. Were there any rockets or NASA type crafts in our area last night?? also both objects stayed in the same area for a good 45 mins---till we gave up and went to bed.. Would appreciate a response...

We are a married couple in Pleasanton CA. My husband has worked at a local Car Manufacture Co, for 27 years. We had not been drinking and were completely sober. We were the only 2 witnesses, as far as we know.I'm sure there is a good explianation for these weird "objects"!

Object moved with uncertainty and vanished.

I spoted the object out to the south. It appeared to be some distance away. It apeared from the east. it shot down from the sky in an inverted arc and hovered over the horizon for a moment. It then began moving very slowly to the east. Next the object made a large triangular traverse. This movment lead me to rule out atmospheric distortion of a star as a cause. When it returned to its original location it then shot straight up and vanished. The object had some type of visual field around it. It was changing colors between red, orange, and blue.

Small orange fluorescent object seen S in distance, disappears, then rushes vehicle in northerly direction, narrowly missing windshield. Strobe-like flash accompanied at point of near-impact.

I was driving 55-60 mph on the highway south of Pleasanton, NE, when I saw a small, orange, fluorescent object ahead in the distance. I dismissed it as a powerline reflector usually seen near small, rural airports, forgetting that there is no airport (to my knowledge) in that area. It was just dusk and darkening into night, and the object seemed to get dimmer as I drove south, eventually fading out of sight, so I assume it was travelling in a southerly direction along the highway, perhaps a little faster than I was driving. A few minutes later, as I was passing a familiar farm site with house and grain elevator in the yard, a white/silver spherical object, about 9 inches in diameter, came down out of the night sky and rushed directly at my car. Its path was over the hood and up the windshield, a few inches above the vehicle. I felt a rush of wind and heard a loud swooshing sound as it passed over. My reaction was to duck and swerve the car slightly to the left, but my reaction occurred after this quick event. There was a bright, strobe-like flash as it reached the top of my windshield and flew up over my car. The flash enabled me to see several feet from the vehicle, over to a power pole in the ditch, and a power line extending over the highway from the pole, so the object had to go beneath this line. I tried to see it in my rear view mirror, but sited nothing, and sped on south to Kearney, NE. I wondered about the incident on my way home, but was really too scared and confused to come to any conclusions, so I promptly forgot about it, until I saw my family at Christmas. We were telling stories, and I remembered my experience. I told my sister-in-law, but got frightened as I told her, and told her I thought it was an owl that swooped in front of my car. This thing was not an owl. I can come up with nothing to explain the flash of light.

They were not from this planet, man just doesn;t have the technoigy to fly that fast. Besides we fly airplanes not sausers

I was a 17 year old young man when I had my encounter. I lived in Fremont Ca. It was a hot August day in 1977. I wanted to get out of the house, so I called up couple of girl that I knew and asked them if they wanted to go for a ride. They said yes. So I went and picked them up. I decided to take them to a place where I knew about. It was outside of Pleasenton Ca. There was a abby where these monks lived. These monks had painted a bridge. It was done in different seens. They were seens from 1776 thru 1976. They were very beutiful, and I knew it would impress the girls. So I took the girls there and they were impressed. When we were done we drove to the end of the road. Theres a parking lot over looking a small lake. I shut off my motor and got some beers out of the trunk of my car. When I got back into the car I gave the girls a beer and cracked one open for myself. As soon as I looked back up, there it was. I couldn't beleive what I was seeing. It was a disk flying like nothing I'd ever seen. I grew up flying with my friends dad. We got to fly once a month. So the first thing I noticed was there was no sound. This disk was changing colors and had a haze around it. It was hovering over the far end of the lake and then it would fly off. When it flew off it was at about a 45 degree angle. It seem to go around ten miles away. then in a blink of an eye, it was back over the lake. I apeared to change shapes right before my eyes. I couldn't understand what I was seeing. Needless to say, I was scared ((word deleted)). I wanted to look over at the girls and see if they were looking, but I was afraid it would fly away. So I didn't look over. I just asked them if they were seeing what I was seeing, and they replied I hope so. I asked them if they were seeing a flying sauser. They said yes. That really scared me too. I think part of me was hoping they weren't seeing this flying sauser. My brain was working overtime. I had never seen anything like it before so I didn't know what to do. As I kept watching this sauser it was flying back and forth around the lake. Then another sauser appeared. About 1 min. later a third sauser appeared. It was really stange, it was like they just appeared. We watched them for about another min. then one of the suaser flew right over to where we were parked. It stopped around 50 yards from us. Now it was hovering right in front of us. I was trying to move but couldn't. I was frozen with fright. We were looking right at them, and I felt like they were looking right at us at us. It felt like an hour, but was only about 15 sec. Then it flew over to west end of the lake. We watched them for a couple of more min.s. I not sure what they were doing there. But when they finally left it was the most amazing thing. All three sausers flew of to the west. they flew around 5 miles at a 45 degree angle. Now this is a little hard to exsplain. But they all three seem to fly in the same spot, and then they flew off as 1 sauser. It left a trail when it left. When it left it was so fast, it looked like a shooting star. I've seen the trooth flying aroud out there. I'm now 46 years old. And I'll never forget what I saw. At the time in 1977, the girls and myself decided to sware secretsy. We were afraid if anyone found out what we saw, they would think we were crazy.
