Occurred: 2008-10-22 22:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2011-07-20 12:56 Pacific
Duration: 5 Minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Camarillo, CA, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Noiseless object flies overhead at roughly 1000-1500 feet.

My wife and I started to walk the dogs and noticed a very bright light that was too high for a street light / building light, etc... - and too low for anything natural (stars / planets). As we comtinued to walk, a neighbor was approahing us while also walking his dog. I asked him what he thought of the light, he said" interesting" because it appeared to just stay in one place. As we stopped and talked for a few minutes while the dogs did their thing, the light didn't move. The neighbor eventually went his own way and my wife and I stayed until the dogs could finish. After about another two or three minutes, we noticed the light eventually started to come in our direction. Now since we saw movement, we stopped focusing on the dogs and watched it closely. Within about 30 seconds, it was noiselessly going right over our heads, and only about 1000-1500 ft off the ground. No strobes, in fact no lights whatsoever. AS it was overhead, we couldn't even see t! he original light that got our attention. It was in the shape between a diamond, and a spade on a deck of cards, with the more pointed part being in the front of the aircraft. My wife quickly tried to run home (which was about 7 houses down the block), to get our camera in hope of getting this before it was too late. By the time she and our son appeared out of the house, it was dissapearing East of us towards Thousand Oaks. It should be noted, my BS is in Aeronautics; and, I have worked as an Aircraft Mechanic / Manager in the Navy for over 23 years. I might not havre seen every kind of aircraft, but I feel pretty confident that I have enough experience to recognize something when I see it...this was not an aircraft.
