Initial data
The ten-year-old witness and some other members of his family lived near the air base Vanderberg, and one evening he looked up into the sky to the West and noticed a plane that looked like a glider - cigar-shaped with long, narrow wings. He had a vertical tail, the ailerons and the white blinking light at the bottom. The ship was flying over the top of the Western mountain range.
Suddenly, it moved quickly South and probably within seconds of Santa Barbara.
They were all intrigued (more witnesses had arrived by this point) as they watched it further. He turned East, circled the circle, and began to approach the ground directly between their house and the house of a neighbor in a large area. It was painted black, like a modern, inconspicuous ship.
It was so close they could have thrown a rock at it, but it didn't make a sound at all - it completely ignored gravity. It seems that he knew that he was being watched and chose witnesses.
The witness looked up and saw the pilot, who was dressed in black, wearing a black helmet and gloves. The orange-pink glow seemed to come from the instruments and reflected off his helmet and gloves.
The pilot looked at the witnesses, then looked back at his instruments, then turned to wave as the ship began to slowly recede, picking up speed as it moved. After observing, the witness was surprised that the sun had already set, as more time had passed than it seemed. Only his younger sister remembers the incident today.
Original news
Location. Buellton, California
Date: August 15 1976
Time: 1900
The 10-year old witness and some other members of his family lived near to Vanderberg AFB and late one afternoon he looked into the western sky and became aware of an aircraft that looked just like a glider—cigar-shaped with long narrow wings, a vertical tail fin, ailerons, and a white blinking light at the bottom of it. The craft was flying across the top of the western mountain range. Suddenly it quickly moved south over and probably beyond Santa Barbara in a matter of seconds. They all became intrigued (at this point more witnesses had arrived) as they watched it further. It turned east, looped around and began coming closer to the ground right between their house and the neighbor’s house in a large subdivision. It was painted black—like a stealth craft of today. It was so close they could have thrown a stone at it, but it made no sound at all—it was completely defying gravity. It seemed to know that it was being watched and picked the witnesses out. The witness looked up and saw a pilot who was dressed in black and wearing a black helmet and gloves. There was an orange-pink glow that seemed to come from the instrument gauges and was glinting off his helmet and gloves. The pilot looked over at the witnesses and then looked back down at his gauges and then turned to wave at them as the craft started to slowly move away gaining speed as it moved. After the sighting the witness was surprised that the sun had already set, as more time had passed than it had seemed. Only his younger sister remembers the incident today.
