Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was oval and cylinder in shape horizontally. It had a golden glow to it and lights that appeared to rotate around the object while fading on and off. This was on the mid to lower half of the object. It was SILENT in sound. Absolutely no sound and moved in a lighting speed manner. It traveled up, down, diagonally in a manner that I have never seen or heard of ever in my time, very odd to see but an amazing experience.

Size of Object(s)

Based on your description in sizing, I would guess that my fingers would be anywhere from 3/4 to 1" apart. I could not tell you at all what I could imagine the actual size being. It was up there.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I have no idea, maybe several miles up. It was above the tree lines maybe 3 - 5 miles up.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I was in an open field up in the Moro Bay area. There were trees surrounding this filed but it offered an open area to view the stars. There were no city lights to be seen anywhere. It was dark and natural and absolutely silent.

Full Description & Details

A group of friends and I decided to go camping one summer in northern California. While setting up our sleeping area, a friend and I decided to lie down and gaze at all the stars above in an open field to see if we could identify any constellations. It was at this time we noticed an object that clearly was not familiar and had an odd shape to it. We both refrained from panicking and reassured each other that we were in fact seeing the same unidentified object. It hovered way above in the sky and had some type of lights that appeared to roll around the object while fading on and off. It was completely silent in sound. After about a minute in dashed forward and completed stopped in an instant. It then suddenly shot straight up into the atmosphere disappearing with lightning speed. This is the very first time I have ever mentioned it for obvious reasons. It is something I ponder quite frequently wondering what it really was. To this very day I cannot answer this question.

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

Absolutely not! What I saw was something different yet amazing. It is simply beyond comprehending and I only wish I could go back to that exact moment and view it again.

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've only heard and read about them like any other individual growing up. I always believed an object as such could exist and that we as a civilization could not possibly be the only ones here, if you know what I mean. It wasn't until this moment did this feeling catalyzed to an even stronger belief.

Other Comments

I would love to be hypnotized and go back to that exact moment. I know that there are additional details I remember seeing on this object but can't seem to place them. It would be interesting if I could somehow go back and re-harvest those details.
