Light over Cypress, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Standing outside saw a ball of light shoot so fast in a downward position my best guess is it was some place close to the North it was not high in the sky either it happened so fast! Than shortly after you see helicopters with possible police lights several circle area! I don’t know what city it was in but like I said near the Mountains towards the North possibly near Hacienda Heights I’m not entirely sure of location but we saw it and it was really nothing like I’ve seen before!

We looked out the window, which faces eastward. At first we thought it may be the Goodyear blimp. However, it disappeared twice, then reappeared from nowhere. Its color seemed to mimic color of the horizon, grayish blue. Before it totally disappeared. It re-emerged as we drove home towards same direction. Very strange. Definitely not a passenger plane.

I was walking my dog. No wind. Clear skies. No clouds. No haze. No marine layers. No fog. Very clear skies with unusually bright stars. Very little white noise from the city lights. I happen to look skyward and saw a shape as if a upside down ice cream cone shape. The object glowed in a very strange array of colors. Picture a upside down ice cream cone. It fell from the sky at a perfect straight downward entry. The colors were strange. First green as if the first scoop of ice cream entering earth. Then a scoop of brilliant red followed by blue. The cone part was brilliant purple. The purple part was the same length as the first 3 colors if measured together. Strange but true! I am a Registered Nurse and since seeing this, my normal heart rate has gone from a 72 to over a 100 beats per minute. I know according to physics that if it was debris or a falling object the color array would be different. This truly is so very strange.
