Full Description & Details

March 17, 1977 I was in the front yard watering the lawn.It was late evening, 6-7pm. The sun had gone down, but it was not dark . What I saw next was awesome. As I looked east, there, right before my eyes, were what appeared to be 2 UFOs. One was quite large the other was about 1/3 size. They were moving very slowly, spinning slowly, toward the north. What was weirder is that there was no noise-no sound. I dropped the hose and ran inside the house very excitedly asking for mom and dad to come outside quickly. My brother, who was studying, also came out. My girlfriend did not (because I didn't call her).

Much to everyone's amazement, the UFOs were still in sight. What we can best describe is that the shape was like a spinning top (sort of) there were lighted windows all around the center (horizonally), and blinking lights at the top and bottom. Like I said "no noise" I could see vehicles driving east on the 134 freeway and the UFOs were passing over the top of them. (I have always wondered why no other reports have surfaced.)

We were puzzled. What did we just see??? In July 2005 my dad had his 75th birthday party and we brought up the "sighting" again. My dad will say " I don't know how to comment on it, because I don't know what it was I saw" My mom and brother and I will talk about it, but as my dad says "what did we see?"

Has anyone else seen what we saw that night? Many years have gone by but I still can picture what I saw that evening.

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

Not a natural object, but it was excactly what I would expect an UFO to look like

Witness Background

I was 18 years old at the time. I have since moved to Utah and never saw anything else. I still watch the skies though

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I really want to know what I saw- No logical explanation has been found
