Occurred : 7/17/2011 02:35 (Entered as : 07/17/11 2:35) Reported: 7/17/2011 2:02:59 PM 14:02 Posted: 7/17/2011 Location: Fresno (near; on Interstate 5), CA Shape: Formation Duration: 1-2 Minutes Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were electrical or magnetic effects
A linear object with 3 bright lights, flew about 10 feet over our truck while traveling N on I 5. While traveling north bound on Interstate 5, approximately 30 miles SE of Fresno, a linear object with three bright lights (Two on the end and one in the middle) approached our truck, containing six passengers. When we first saw it, the linear object was around 500 yards away. Five of the passengers, including me, saw the formation of lights continuing to fly towards our truck. During this time, the object rotated similar to a plane that has stalled. We were confused and somewhat scared as to what this object is. It headed straight towards our truck where it flew about 10-20 feet above us. It was close enough to where the driver, and the two front passengers, one of which was me, ducked and screamed. While continuing to drive, we watched behind us as the three bright lights lifted up and dove into the ground and then back up again. The bright lights spun and rotated until it finally disappeared. The object was about 30 feet long. Keep in mind that it wasnt until afterwards we realized that it made absulutely no sound when it passed over our truck. And the compass on our truck didnt work after the sighting. ((NUFORC Note: This report arrived just before our posting of newly received reports, which will occur on the afternoon of Sunday, July 17, 2011. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be exceptionally eloquent and objective, in his description of the event. We have requested that he have at least one of the other witnesses submit reports, as well. PD))
