California-05-13-08-My 14-year-old daughter came running into the house this evening quite disturbed by something. As I spoke calmly to her she said she'd heard a faint "whirring" sound at the same time she saw a partially illuminated disk moving in an arc through the late evening sky. She later described that it was in plain view through some thin tree branches, and moved from the southwest toward the northwest.
She described the whirring sound by blowing, almost whistling, and slightly pulsating and she described the size as slightly smaller than a fifty-cent piece held at arm's length. It came into her range of view at the same moment as she heard the whirring sound and stayed in view for about five seconds before disappearing behind the nearby apartment buildings.
She showed me the spot where she stood, where it came into view, where she last saw it, and indicated its approximate speed with her hand.
I had her draw a picture of what she saw: a partially lighted disc-shaped object with lights on the glowing side on the edge in a crescent, which I hope to add to this report when I can scan it into the computer.
She stated that she didn't know what it was when she first saw it, that the darker side was almost exactly as dark as the sky, and the brighter side was clearly visible with several lights.
She was quite startled when she grasped the fact that it wasn't anything she'd ever seen before. She dashed back into the house the moment it went out of sight, and was for a moment too startled to say anything.
