Large Longated Triangular The size of 2 football fields, came from the south mountaian of the Fish ranch and hovered.

My mom , Friends and I were coming from a days outing in Big Sur. We were dropping one of our friends off at home at the mouth of Carmel Valley, when what appeared to be a large Craft came out of or just over the top of the mountain. It was very large and did not look like anything of that of a conventional aircraft. The shape was that of a long triangal squared off at the back and tapered to a point as to what appeared to be the front secondary to the direction it moved. The craft moved slow and then to a stop, and hovered With only that of a hush like hum type of sound, then it moved slowly to the north towards Monterey. We followed it to the top of Carmel hill in which the craft shot out over Monterey Bay very fast in a North West direction. At that point we decided to visit Monterey Airport, only to find that there was nothing found on radar and no in coming or outgoing flights were scheduled in the monterey area at that time. As a note further on the description of the craft, it did have spiratic lights of green, red and yellowaround the sides and base of the craft. All I can say is that it was very exciting to se and I will always wonder.
