No of observers: 2

Location: Redding, CA, USA

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Changed shapes with bright multi-colored lights all over/around it.

I first saw the object as I walked out on my porch to get some wood for my fire. It looked like a plane at first; I thought it was just coming in to the airport, but then I noticed it wasn't moving and also it was flashing green, blue, red & white lights off and on, but in no particular pattern. I ran back inside and yelled for my friend Mary to come out and take a look and I grabbed a small pair of binoculars on the way back outside.

I looked up and it was no longer a "strip" of flashing lights, but was now an oval shape with the same colored lights on and around it. They seemed to be twinkling instead of flashing now. I handed the binoculars to Mary and asked what she seen.( I didn't want her to be influenced by what I described, and also wanted to see if she could see anything at all.) She described the exact things I was seeing. It continued to hover there and I called several friends to get some one else to acknowledge this "object", but no one answered.

We then drove down to our local Shell gas station/convenience store to get the cashier to verify the sighting of this object. She hadn't used binoculars before and could not really get a good look at it; she did state that her son had seen a UFO a couple days earlier, though.

I called the local Police and the cashier called the Highway Patrol to see if anyone else had reported anything and they both said "no".It was not in the sky when we got home and we did not see it leave, fly or disappear; We called this number provided by the Redding Police Dept. and the recording gave us this web site address.

The entire incident lasted approx. 40 minutes I am including sketches of what we saw, with descriptions and will email it ASAP.
