We lived in the countryside of Clovis at the time of this UFO sighting. Back then it was acres of  land, and forests of orange trees. I was around 13-14 years old, now I’m 26. I never thought in my life I would get the chance to see what I saw that night. I have seen UFOs on TV and books, but never believed in them. I was like everyone else, always thought it was fake. But I never imagined this close encounter, and that night is still in my mind to this day. I told family members but they don’t believe me. I don’t really care if they don’t because I know what I saw. I’m happy that it was me. If I could go back in time to that night, I would have woken up somebody, like my mom, and maybe… just maybe… people would believe me. It happened like this…

I don’t remember the exact day or year, but I think it was June of 1996. I remember it was a warm night around 2am. The first thing that I heard was a loud noise  (like a earthquake) with a high pitch. I thought it was an earthquake, because it did the same effect like in the movies: pictures on the wall were moving and the floor was shaking. But something was different about this. Suddenly it stopped. I felt like somehow, something in my head told me that there was something over the house. The sounds lasted about a minute, so I got up and started my way to the bathroom which was about 8 feet from around the comer. While in the bathroom, I heard a scratching sound coming from outside the bathroom window.

That caught my attention so, I looked up and there it was!  There was a tree about 3 stories high, and a disc shaped UFO had scratched the bottom of the ship, to the tip of the tree branches. The UFO had a light at the top, and several lights on the side. There were no sounds (nothing period) coming from it.  The thing was floating in mid air and moving at 1-3 mph. What was special about this was that it was searching for something.  I don’t know what, but I know it was searching for something because there was an extra light on the bottom of the ship and it was moving.  As the light on the bottom was moving, I noticed that there was spot light on the ground as big as the UFO. When the light on the bottom of the ship was moving,  the spot light on the ground was moving also. It seemed like it was trying to find something on the ground. So I know that it was searching, and not just flying by.

There was no light beam coming from the UFO, at all. I remember this for sure, as it was the most amazing thing I ever saw in my life.  This UFO was big.  The thing that shocks me the most was that there was no sound coming from it as it was moving away. I watched it fly away and I asked myself,  if this could be real… did I just see a UFO? I have seen sightings of  UFOs on TV,  and some are close to what I saw that night, but the lights are different in a way that I don’t think they are real. You can see the lights on the side of the ship. If I would have walked out that night, who knows that would have happened. I know they’re out there. This might sounds crazy, but I know what I saw. And if one day humans can read memory, I would gladly be the first to test the machine out and then people would believe me. Well, that’s my encounter with the UFO. Thanks for reading and I hope to see one more before I die. I’m sorry to all who do not believe… but to those who have seen one, it’s a life changing moment you will never forget.

My son and son-in-law and I were on a hunting trip in the Yosemite mountains. We happened upon this road that looked like it had not been driven on or used lately, so we decided to go up that road. We were trying to find a lake by the name of Edison lake. We were off course, so we took this road to the top, and made camp. We had at at least 3 hours of day light left, so we decided to do some hunting. I  went to the south, my son went west, and my son-in-law went north.

I was hunting for about half an hour when I heard this noise behind me. I turned and saw this old man directly behind me. I asked him what he was doing walking behind me, and if he knew there were any deer up here. I said, “You did not answer me, what are doing behind me?” “Oh, I’m just walking, but there’s not any deer up here.” I continued walking and he stayed with  me, so I started back to camp.

As I walked back, this old man said, “How is your colon cancer?” I turned and said, “How do you know me?” He said “Let’s just say I know a lot about you.”

By the time I got back to the camp area, I could see two other old men in the camp ground. When I got to where my son and son-in-law were sitting, my son asked me what was going on? He explained that these old guys knew all about us, and said that we should not camp up here, but would not tell us why.

So we went to our camp site talking to ourselves. When we got there, we made dinner and talked about these old men and how they knew about us, and how it gave us a bad feeling. After cleaning the camp area, it was after 9:00, so we went to bed.

We were awoken by a bright light. I looked at my watch and it was 10:30. We jumped out of the van. There was a light that lit up the whole area, then all of a sudden, it was gone. We stayed up for about an hour talking to each other, then we when back bed.

We were awoken up again at 12:30, but this time the light was so bright that we had a hard time seeing it. It was all around us, and we could not see were it was coming from. We looked at each other, while at the same time we were loading the van. As we were going down the hill, the 3 old men were next to a tree waving at us. As we got to the bottom the hill the light hit us again. This time the driver side door opens up, and my son-in-law says that something is trying to pull him out of the van. My son and I grabbed him. We had a hard time trying to keep him in the van, then the light was suddenly gone, and we got him back in.

We drove all the home with out saying a word.

We told my wife what happened. Since then, my son-in-law and I do not talk and he has moved to Texas. My son moved to Rhode Island, and we have moved to Arizona.

Since the incident, my wife and I have had some great sightings.

 While most ufo pictures seem to turn out fuzzy or blurry, lacking frame of reference, or appear only as a small dot of light in a sea of black – these pictures are quite the opposite and are startlingly clear. This first picture (taken on May 06, 2007), of the ufo drone hovering over some power lines, was taken by a individual known only as ‘Chad’ while he was hiking near his home in central California, near the city of Capitola.

This picture shows a view of the ufo’s ‘wing’, where there appears to be some type of symbols or heiroglyphics on it. Chad reported the ufo as emitting only a slight hum, similar to sound a high voltage transformer would make.

Chad got a few photos as the ufo was leaving. The first few close-ups he got as it first approached, hovering over the power lines. Upon leaving, it was reported as having took off into the distance pretty fast. As you can see from the picure, this ufo appeared very close to a neighborhood. Chad also reported that a car passing by also saw the ufo and stopped. The occupants of the car were visibly shaken, as was Chad.
