- I think I saw a UFO the other day.
- It was almost sunset, and I was flying towards the setting sun
- from Livermore airport back to Oakland after practicing touch
- and goes. At about 3000 ft, I spotted a bright light about 15
- degrees above the horizon around Mt. Tamalpias which by the
- way is to the west so it could not have been a reflection from the
- setting sun. My flight instructor saw it too, and we did a few
- clearing turns to make sure that the object was not the landing
- lights of another airplane heading straight at us. The object
- remained stationary and although almost as bright as the sun,
- seemed far away due to it's small size. After about 2 minutes of
- just hanging there, it shot straight up and directly away from us.
- We could tell because it gained in altitude and climbed away
- getting dimmer until it just faded away. We guessed it to be
- about 15 miles away, and did not report it to anyone. This is as
- far as I know the first time that either uf us has disclosed any of
- this info.

- Please respond if you have had a similar experience.
