FLYING SAUCER REPORTS
UFORC CASE No. CAUS#JUN899A001
WITNESSES: Mr and Mrs. Ed Towers Thanks to Ed Towers for this report:Both my wife and I saw a flying saucer craft directly over our back yard at an altitude of no higher than 75 feet. It was above us for about 40 seconds with no sound and seemed to hover/glide on the spot. We clearly saw design characteristics.Metallic highly shiny body, no visible linkage between metallic components, about 100 feet in diameter, portholes in the middle of what appeared to be an upper level or dome and bottom the porthole were all around the craft except for the front (on direction of forward movement.) There was a window that was angled inwards about 45 degrees in the front (forward direction). The window appeared to be in the under side of the craft. We could see orange/bluish light coming from the inside but did not see any occupants. The window was about 4-5 feet in height and probably about 10-12 feet in length. The craft had small ski like devices on either side (lower) of the frontal window but they seemed to be like docking devices like the shape of an S but the top of the S facing forward. Underneath craft were rectangular (2) long shapes that covered the diameter of the craft and in the middle section of the bottom side. The rectangular shapes were part of the body but protruded in rectangular shape. No insignias, just solid metallic body. I kept saying what a beautiful craft and my wife kept saying oh my god the whole time.The craft made no noise whatsoever. It seemed to levitate but with that slight side to side movement.At the time of sighting, I was cleaning my swimming pool a round 10:00 PM. The is a residential area (Santa Clarita Valley) where 10:00 PM is like 3:00 AM. I spotted the craft coming towards the house in a southwest direction and instantly knew that was not a normal shaped craft. I ran some 12 steps to the family room and called my family but only my wife ran out. As she did, the craft was right on top of us, motionless except for the slight gliding from side to side. It stood there about 40 seconds. It faced downwards and that is when I saw the window. I also could determine that swimming pool lights were not causing reflection on top side and that in effect it was highly reflective. After that it kept moving in the same direction at 40-50 MPH and began to disappear between homes. I jumped on top of a block wall and saw it continue (between homes) for at least 4-5 miles and then I could not see it.I told my wife not to discuss it but to draw what she saw as I did. I had more details but we agreed that we saw the same things.While we were seeing it, I made sure there was no helicopter suspending this craft.We called the local sheriff's office and they said they had no reports. The craft had to cross the Interstate 5 freeway to head towards my home and at the altitude which means someone had to see it on the freeway.There was a sighting filmed in Mexico City near some high rise buildings. What we saw resembled that very much. Please keep me posted. Since the experience I have read everything there is to read on the subject. I am confident the government knows more. This object was a solid craft and definitely not powered by anything man-made. UFORC CASE No. CAUS#JUN899A001 CREDIT:UFORC thanks Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, For These Reports

FLYING SAUCER WITH OCCUPANTS, Physical Effects
1.)CAUS thanks D.F. for this report: I've been reading your newsletter for a while now and perhaps I shouldrespond at least once. I have a cute story, but cannot go public with it because of my career.I am rather well known in political circles as a political commentator. So, you may use the story as you wish, but not my name. When not writing, I am a research physiologist with 25 years experience.I also have an electronics degree and was once (in the 1960s) employed inairspace research -- the Apollo Project. In 1968, while out in California, many of my neighbors liked to go out to the“high” desert on the weekends. As time allowed, I would join them and a lsohad an appropriate bike for the occasions. We had CB radios on our bikesso we wouldn't get too lost. Late one evening, I heard quite a hubbub on the radio and a few peopleyelled for me to join them. They were on a hill looking down as I cameriding up. Most were already leaving. They were saying “flying saucer.” Some were frightened. I didn't really believe in such things and knew we were not far from anAir Force testing area, so I gave it a look. I could see the aircraft down the other side of the hill, from 60 to 100yards away. It was about a 20 degree drop down the hill. The thing was sort of roundish looking. Its base was larger than itsrounded top. It was sitting on three or four legs, which all had roundfeet. The door was open -- like a chopper door that folds out and down. I turned off my bike and radio and just sat there and watched. There were no lights visible to me, but all of the underside -- which wasthree or four feet off the ground (?) -- was lighted with a beige lightthat was not really bright as much as it was sufficient to light theperimeter and underside. The door was open almost facing me, and there was more or less of a whiteto yellowish light inside. There were three men outside doing something. One seemed to see me. Theyall looked to be in their twenties, had short blond hair and were dressedin what appeared to be a gray, silverish jumpsuit. Air Force, I thought. Really, I didn't think much about what was going on, except that I did notknow what they were flying. That is, unless I was looking at the rear, andthere was a cockpit on the other side, I didn't. And, that could be. Anyway, it wasn't until later that it dawned on me that these three guysall had the same color hair and were the same size. How often does thathappen? Never, when I was in the Army. After a time, they got back in the thing, the door closed in the normalmanner, and it started an easy vertical take off. About 40 feet up, the underside lights turned off and small red, blue andwhite lights came on -- I have no idea how many, but not a lot of lightsand not very bright lights. I was waiting for the noise, but there was none. There was “pressure ”however. That is, the take off changed the local air pressureconsiderably. It’s not as if I wanted to fall down, or anything. But Icould certainly feel it -- especially in my ears. Then, it just sort of zoomed off into the night. It did not “disappear,”as some people report of sightings. It moved very fast into the dark of night. In those days, I had clearances and whatnot for work, so I said nothing tothe others. I just listened to what they thought they saw. It seems therewere at least four different stories developing, so I went for the beer andstayed out of all of it after that. Back in my laboratory, I suggested that possibly I should file an incidentreport. That got me a personal audience with the most senior scientist ofthe organization. He seemed to try to tell me to shut up about it in everyway possible, without actually saying the words. And, as a reward, I waspromoted (for the third time that year). Did I see a real live flying saucer? Apparently. Maybe. Because, thirty years later, there is still nothing like that in the fleetof any government on this globe. All that was missing for a classical sighting was the little gray men.The guys I saw could walk down any street USA at noon without causingattention. So, that part doesn't fit. But, the aircraft does. I could kick myself for not going down there and taking a better look.But, I thought it was Air Force and I would have problems at work if I did. So, that's the story. Not really much to it, I know. But, it wasinteresting at the time. UFORC CASE No. CAUS#JUN1799A001
