Full Description & Details

I was hiking in the mountains behind Santa Barbara at dusk when I saw a bright light in the sky. It was much bigger and brighter then the stars. It got bigger and closer over the next several seconds. It appered to be a silver disk with a bright ring of search-lights around the rim. It then moved farther away and across the sky.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

It could possibly have been a very large falling satelite.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting
