CA witness says UFO looked like ‘creature’ from a side view

A California witness at Boyle Heights reported watching a boomerang-shaped UFO that looked like a “creature” when turned on its side as observed beginning about 4:50 p.m. on January 7, 2015, according to testimony in Case 62515 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

“Parked car in front of my home and my younger son was outside of the car and looked up said, ‘What is that?’” the reporting witness stated.

The son then went inside to get his binoculars.

“I looked up from inside the car and saw something dark/black up in the sky to the southwest. My son looked through binoculars and said it looks really weird. I looked through the binoculars and it was solid black – some sort of UFO – an upside down boomerang. Not moving.”

The witnesses’ two daughters also looked through the binoculars and saw it as well.

“My older daughter tried to take a picture with her camera, but it is not a good camera for that height. I got the binoculars again to observe it a while and it slowly turned to its side and it did not like a UFO, but maybe a creature/alien?”

The witness described the object as it looked from the side.

“It had a wispy tail-like and wispy wings, but not wings – slow moving tentacles/arms – very hard to describe, but it is not like anything I’ve ever seen.”

The witness then showed the object to the other children.

“The thin arms/wispy tentacles moved in different forward directions. I just watched it for a while. Two planes did pass not too far from it, so it appeared to be the size of a huge airplane. Then I had to leave. I was late to meet a friend and left at 5:29 p.m. It was still up in the sky when I left.”

  1. It’s a shame to note that even in today’s era of multimedia via the Internet that UFO reports are still vague and somewhat hard to believe even though many are true. Not that I am blaming the investigative reporters or the testimonies of eye witnesses, but that old taboo staining still seems to well, stop the evolvement of the UFO Phenomena.
    It’s a difficult balance to comprehend for most as most people never really look up at the skies and question what they see. Or most probably don’t want to know let alone see a UFO.
    This majority of people are more inclined to fathom such truths only through the ‘safe’ (cliché) veil of Entertainment. But don’t you dare tell them this is real because you will never get a thumbs up on your UFO Footages on YouTube or a like on Facebook.
    The majority are ignorant and want to stay that way, they really are!
    Would it be to bold to assume success upon the mixing of truth and lies. Like adding real UFO footages and stories, with well a few that would also please the ignorant. Either way that’s how people are entertained and through these means they digest and regurgitate the possibilities of the existence of extra-terrestrial life and UFOs.
    I have filmed UFOs and know they are real, and have also come to know the answer to the question. “Are we alone?” but that truth is very safe with me and I am very happy to know.
    It’s a question we must all seek.
    My Quote:
    When we seek the knowledge we are exercising our beliefs and through practice we gain an understanding. When we have found balance with our beliefs and the understanding of it, we will reach a knowing that confirms all of it.

  2. “Then I had to leave. I was late to meet a friend…”

  4. There is an ongoing investigation in Sweden , where a similar case has been given a UFO classification where two credible witnesses have seen something similar to this report arrived Swedish investigators and it has been shown that the judgment despite careful investigation using radar images military meteorologists surveys and using different newspapers to collect more testimony etc. could not come up with any logical “natural” explanation. The incident occurred in Sweden October 28, 2013 You can see the drawings if you open the link below.
