- Before I state what I saw I would like to clarify that I am using UFO in
- the very literal sense. I, and four of my friends saw something that we
- cannot explain. Here's the story.
- At about 11:00pm (pst) last night my friend called me over to his room.
- His room looks out on the Channel Islands and is on the 7th floor, giving
- it an excellent view. On the horizen I saw a line of lights. After
- summoning two more friends and getting a pair of binoculars was able to
- see it somewhat more clearly. The lights were arranged symmetrically
- around the axis perpindicular to us. I will describe the lights as I saw
- them from left to right. The first light was slightly above the others,
- after a small space there was a a group of four lights close together in
- a straight line, after another space was a single light, a larger space
- separated it from a pair lights in the center, another equally large
- space lead to another single light, a smaller space seperated this single
- light from a another straight line of four lights, at the end was another
- light above the rest at the same level as the first.
- Through the Binoculars it appeared that the object was actually curved.
- At this point we left the dorm and went down to the beach to get a better
- view. As we watched we noticed it moved from East to West (The Ocean in
- Santa Barbara is actually to the South so it was moving from our left to
- our right) at differing speeds. It would go very fast for a short time
- and then stop. At one point I saw it bob down and then resume moving.
- My friend saw it tilt along the perpindicular axis as well while looking
- through binoculars. We have no explaination for what it was.
- It dissappeared behind one of the islands and did not reappear. The
- Islands are about 26 miles away and the thing appeared to be about an
- inch long from our perspective, for the distance then it must have been
- very large. This would rule out aircraft since 747's on approach into LA
- appear to be about an 1/8 of an inch and would be at roughly the same
- distance, if not closer. It also covered an incredible amout of space in
- a very short time, fastr than we have seen other ships travel. Therefore
- we are at a loss. We have speculate dthat it might have something to do
- with PT. Magu which is a Navy Training area S of here. If anyone has any
- ideas please post them because we cannot think of anything. Thanks.
