Duration: 10 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Los Molinos, CA, USA

Shape: Oval

I observed a light gray oval object moving rapidly back and forth in Northern California 11/11/00.

I was riding in a car a few miles south of Los Molinos on Hwy 99E towards Chico. Sudddenly I saw an light grey oval-shaped object above some trees to the southeast. It was about the size of my thumbnail held at arms length and was light gray in color. the object was moving back and forth parallel to the ground. It moved about the length of its width. Suddenly it moved to the right (east) very fast and was lost to me behind some trees up ahead. As the car proceeded south pass these trees I could not see the object anywhere. I have driven this route many times over 30 years and never seen anything like this. I am a retired local government worker and have lived in this area for most of my life.
