Full Description & Details

On June 27, 2006 at approximately 2:30 PM in broad day light, clear skies, my husband and a co-worker saw what at first looked like a giant parade ballon that had come loose. But as they watched it approach they quickly realized it was not what they first thought. The object hovered in place and then slowly moved in the direction of my Husband and the co-worker. Both men called me to come look. It took me a few minutes to respond. They had followed it up the street on foot and by the time I saw it it was maybe 500 yards up in the air. This object looked metal to me, two halves covered in spikes, grey body, the spikes were black and the two halves rotated in opposite direction.

We watched as it slowed ascended in total disbelief. I called my supervisor who drove to where we were, by now a small crowd of 10 or so people were with us watching and looking at the object with binoculars. My supervisor arrived maybe 5 minutes after I called. We all watched it ascend almost out of view and the descend back to view where it hovered again for about six to eight minutes before ascending again and vanishing.

This sighting lasted almost a half and hour. We called the paper and the news media. When we called the news station the person on the line said they were already interviewing some one else that saw the object. So we were satisfied that every one in Redding was watching this. We ran to get cameras but by the time we were able to get a camera the object was so high it would only appear as a black dot. No matter, we were convinced someone was able to get a great picture and it would be in the paper or on the news. To our dismay there was no mention of the object on the news or in the paper. There were over ten of us and we have no proof. Torture!! Did anyone get a picture? Please post this on your web page. Maybe someone reading this has seen a similar object and was smart enought to stop staring long enough to get a great camera shot.

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

NO we all agreed no of us had ever seen anything like it in life or on tv. We tried to come us with something that would explain it.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I am an optomistic sceptic. I find it hard to believe we are alone but was sure I'd never see anything other than tv programs to confirm or deny my optimism. I want to believe it was a real ufo but... I'm not ungrounded, I know that saying you saw a ufo is considered crazy. I guess I am able to wave the your crazy statement away because more than ten of us saw it and agree. We all believe it was not of this world.
