La Selva, Santa Cruz County, CA

"I was 21 years old, and  was on La Selva Beach after sunset with three friends. We rolled up our pants to run through the water.  It was dinner time so we started back to the parking lot walking through thick sand.  About half way there was a beam of light at the back of the beach in front of the cliff. There was no electricity on the beach, so we didn't understand how it could be there. It was a large beam which didn't spread light onto the surrounding area. The two men in the group wanted to run to the base of the beam to see who was there, but i was very frightened and grabbed their arms and told them not to. 

Many years later I was telling a counselor about the experience and he asked me what happened next. For the first time I realized that there was missing time. We were all waking up at the same time just standing in a row so very relaxed. I was not ready to move yet, but one in our group broke the mood by saying loudly that we should go. The light was gone with no memory of it going. Mulling it over in my later life, I wonder what happened during that missing time ... I don't know how much time passed, but when I arrived at my parent's house my mother told me that I was late and had missed dinner. I recently read the "Alien Files," by Marden and Stoner. I was shocked to read the symptoms that sometimes happen after contact. I don't know that I was abducted, but it would explain my chronic fatigue syndrome which disabled me over 20 years ago."

Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz County, CA

"I saw the craft slowly and silently gliding along a fire trail in the Santa Cruz Mountains where I usually went on walks. I was down-hill when I noticed this metallic blue-silver, brighter than neon light with no windows. The light didn't light up the surrounding area but was extremely brilliant. I was chanting at the time I saw it and I wasn't afraid. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to tell about it as my husband wouldn't believe me when I told him."  - www.nuforc.org/

"After sunset while sitting above the pacific coast, I saw five rapidly moving round objects in the distance over the ocean. Quickly they headed towards the coast and my position, changing colors, speed and direction instantaneously. When they changed direction, most times there was no speed change. They could reverse movement immediately. By the time they reached my position there were three; two had disappeared while taking off in different directions. They blinked out of sight almost immediately. The remaining three stopped directly in front of me and hovered, making no noise at all. They held perfectly still. Still changing colors. The light and color coming from them was contained inside of the spheres and did not radiate. They were approximately 30 yards from me and approximately 12'-15' in diameter.  After a couple of minutes of observing each other they began to leave in the direction they had come from. Then they did their patented speed and direction change and headed up and almost immediately were lost to view."

Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz County, CA

"Extremely huge, very slow moving object seen in the sky by 7 witnesses.:

I was babysitting for neighbors and as they were coming in the house, the mother called out, from outside, for us to come outside to look.

We all went outside. In the sky was a completly black bicycle horn shaped UFO. It had a large round shape in the back with a cylinder in the middle and cone shape in front of that. Out of the cone shaped front was shining a huge light.

The UFO appeared to be about the size of a football field, or maybe a little bigger even. It was moving extremely slowly and was hanging very low in the sky, much lower then normal aircraft. We all stood there with our mouths open for easily 15 minutes watching in silence as it moved in slow increments across a very short distance.

Suddenly the "front" light went out and maybe two or three seconds later the now completely dark shape disintegrated like ashes. Particules just seemed to hang in the air for a few more seconds and then there was nothing. After maybe a few seconds we all erupted with sound, confirming that we had all seen it. What we had seen, etc.

The father went in and called the police who, after several phone calls told him that they had some report that some air force base was conducting test flights of some craft they had. The only air force base at the time was many many miles away and to this day I do not believe that we have the capacity to hold an object that huge in the air nor have it move that slowly with out it crashing, much less the fact that it completely disintegrated into nothing." - www.nuforc.org/

Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz County, CA

"Commuting from work from Redwood City to Boulder Creek. On Skyline Blvd on top of  the ridge that divides the Bay Area from the Pacific Ocean. At points on the road can see both sides clearly. A small amber sphere came out of the ocean at Pescadero so we stopped aside on skyline (1200 feet above sea level) and observed. It must of seen our car lights and proceeded toward us (no commuters at that time period. It got larger and larger as came straight toward us, then stopped in front of us with no sound. I jumped out of our '72 Toyota Landcruiser with spotlight on top of roof. I jumped up and down waving my arms then sent "SOS" signal with the spot light directly toward this incredibly large amber ball of light. Each time I did this it would respond up and down, side to side, and diagonally and returned to its original position each time (no sound) after 20 min or so it took off straight up leaving a chem trail within a less than a second out of sight (no sound)." 

Reporter Betty Barnical from the San Jose Mercury News shared that a same similar object was sighted at the same time in Phoenix, Arizona. 

1980, November

Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz County, CA

"I had just got off work and drove to the beach to have a beer and fill out a time card, when I saw a white light of  (what I thought was a plane) on the other side of Monterey Bay.  I was just going to look down to start writing when it started to climb at about a 15 degree angle. Soon afterwards it dropped what I thought was a red flare; so it now had my full attention. But after falling a short distance, it started to fly straight and level, and it soon afterwards dropped another red light. The first one (red light) flew back towards Monterey, and the second one started to fly towards Santa Cruz to where I was. When I wondered where the first one (mother ship) was, I looked up towards the west in the same direction it was headed when I first saw it. It was gone, and there was a huge circle of smoke in the shape like the flame of a candle ... It must have disappeared in a flash, but made no sound. The first red light disappeared over Monterey and the second one came right towards me. In about 15 minutes it went right over my head at about 1,000 feet, moving slow at about 15 mph. There was a white light on the front end,  a port and starboard lights, -red and green. But no sound at all."

1993

Santa Cruz, CA

"I was camping on Four Mile Beach just north of Santa Cruz with some friends back in 1993. We were just chilling in the dark when we saw a disc shaped object about the size of a bus fly past us over the water. It was flying just a few feet over the waves. We went closer to the water so we could see it better as it passed by. A bit down from where we were it switched direction and headed out towards the ocean. When it was about I'd say 200 yards out it stopped and lowered itself into the ocean and was gone. I've been a believer in UFOs ever since that night. - ufosentinel.com

Santa Cruz, CA

"My roommate was taking a picture of me on a mountain. When he snapped a picture of the craft also. I was electrified or something and my roommate does not remember what happened after he took the photo. All i know is i was back at the car by my friend, right after the shot was taken.We both realized that about an hour or so was gone.

There were no sounds or lights about the craft. It all happened like if it was a dream. For the rest of the day we were in a stupor. We doubted the whole incident more and more as the day went along. About a month later we developed the picture." - www.nuforc.org/

Santa Cruz, CA

"It was night and I saw large lights coming toward my house in Santa Cruz, California. I was standing outside in my driveway when I saw them coming from the Monterey Bay/ocean area and heading in a northwest direction.

I believe it was the same craft reported on your site seen in San Jose that night. It came from the southeast (Monterey Bay) and was heading northwest. I also thought it was a plane going to the San Jose or SFO Airport until it flew over me. At that point I noticed it was going too slow to be an airplane, although my friend said 'wow a stealth bomber!' There was no sound, it was very low, very large and moved slowly over us, over my house toward the Santa Cruz Mountains. Once over the mountains it would be in the San Jose area. There were very large blinking lights on each tip that showed the shape of the craft as it flew overhead as a triangle. I wish I spent more time observing it but since my friend said 'stealth bomber;" that's what I thought it was. It was only later I realized a stealth bomber would probably be going much faster, be flying much higher, and make noise. As I noticed, the lights were so bright that they clearly revealed the shape as triangular. Time on this report is approximate." - www.nuforc.org/

1999

Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, CA 

"I used to live in a small rental house with my wife across the street from this small minimum security correctional facility for first time youth offenders. We didn't find out that the house across the street was a prison until after we moved in. My wife was freaked out and after she found out we were living next door to criminals she made me get up at night to check on every single tiny sound to make sure it wasn't some young hooligan from next door trying to break in. There's always sounds and most of the time it was nothing, turned out it was never the criminals next door, they were all nonviolent kids who had stolen a car or something. But one time it was something, something I wish I had never seen. My wife had woken me up at 4 am because she thought she had heard someone walking outside the window and as usual I had to make sure it wasn't a young delinquent stealing stuff or trying to set our home on fire. I got up and as usual and grabbed the tire iron I had been keeping by the bed since we found out we were living next to a prison. I walked out the door and around the back of the house and that's when I saw an alien behind the house. It was one of those creepy ones you see in pop-culture with the big head and small body. That's all I remember. I don't know what happened next but my wife came after me and found me unconscious on the ground. She dragged me inside where I came to. She told me after I went out there was bright light outside the house that was so bright she couldn't see anything but the light and the light went up to the sky. She ran out of the house to look for me and found me face down on the ground. She was so panicked she just grabbed my feet and dragged me face down into the house so when I woke up I had dirt in my nose and big bruises all over my face. Would have been nice if she would have turned me face up and dragged me in by my shoulders instead.

We moved out shortly after that. We never had any trouble with the young hooligans next door, just with space aliens, and that's way worse." -ufosentinel.com

Santa Cruz, CA

"Aug. 25th Wednesday evening at 9:30pm I noticed two bright orange lights on a ridge across a valley while standing in my back yard, I Immediately called my husband to come take a look, at first I thought maybe they were fire trucks on the ridge, but as I looked through the my binoculars I realized that they were not Fire trucks, but were actually about 15 degrees above the ridge moving in the a South West direction. I couldn't make out a definite shape, only they were round and and glowed like a flame, they never flickered and I couldn't see any lights other than this orange glow. I followed them through my binoculars as they moved slowly above the ridge for about 5 minutes, then they both seem to stop moving for about 30 second, then one of them moved down and behind the other side of the ridge and I could no longer see it, the second one stayed still, just hovering there above the ridge for about 30 seconds, as I watched it, it just turn off ? Like turning off a light. It didn't move up or down like the other one had, it just dissapeared right in front of my eyes! My Husband and I are amateur star gazer, we've seen quite a few interesting things up here in the Santa Cruz Mtns, like Muir and a couple of comets, but I've never seen anything like this!"

Santa Cruz, CA

"Three lights across the horizon slowly traveling from side to side seeming to dip into the water then flying high above. The bright lights were obviously were far away yet they at times travelled at very high speeds that seemed impossible. The lights were far away from each other at times but seemed to mirror each others movements. At times, they would be directly on top of each other moving in the same bizaar manner. A manner that did not seem logical for human purposes. I thought perhaps rescue helicopters far off shore but I ruled this out because of the incredible speed and the bizaar nature of these lights. The lights were mostly white but had glimpses of color from time to time. They were solid lights though, that never dimmed. My friend and I watched for hours and I fear that we will never Know what we saw." - www.nuforc.org/

"I was at the bus stop at UC Santa Cruz with now husband, then boyfriend. It was evening possible around 9 pm. We were at Porter College which as we were high up on the campus, you can almost see toward the ocean. I was looking at the stars and saw a “shooting star”, except it was changing colors. And it wasn’t really descending as it should it began to head south. At first I thought the colors may have been a result of atmospheric lights, humidity, or simply the burning up of gases as it came into our atmosphere. But , I got my partner’s attention. We questioned that it was a plane or satellite. It continued to change colors and speed and directions. We were both perplexed and yes, sober! It zigzagged a bit leaving trails of color, I remember seeing orange a blue like mini contrails. After it had changed direction it shot off to the left (south) again and disappeared with its orange tail fading into the night. The whole time I was shouting.” Do you see this?” Are we both seeing this?”

I never saw it again and nothing like it . I know there is a military base up the mountains past the campus and wrote it off as something they must’ve been doing. It was fast like satellite but I think too high up to be military!

The direction change and disappearance is what really made me wonder. We still talk about it today years later and decided to share." - ufo.net

2002, June 14th

Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, CA

“It was June 14, 2002 around 10:00pm. I was living on Summit / Mt Madonna Road … I had just lied down for bed and heard a low rumble and it started getting louder and louder. I sat up in bed to try and see what was going on outside. I had never heard anything like this in all my life. Hundreds of small bluish white beams of light began strobing and flashing all around outside of my house. Like a thousand flashes of a camera in only ten seconds. I could seem the beams scan around as if under control. My heart is pounding so hard and I feel like I am going into shock at this point. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. The last several beams came through my window and I had a very close look at them, about 15 inches away from my legs. The beams were 10 inches around with a darker blue core and a brighter bluish white outer. Like a beam inside a beam is the best I can describe it. I peer out the window and see this 500ft long craft flying directly overhead only 200-300ft above me and traveling in a north east direction very slowly. Looking directly up at the craft I could see a huge square red light and a dozen smaller white lights in rows around the outer edge in a triangular shape. I know the craft was flying super low because I could now see the rear of the ship. From the rear I could see large circular red lights pulsating from left to right, then right to left and so on. Then slowly disappeared out of sight. The whole incident only lasted 15 minutes … Strangely, I went calmly to sleep without getting out of bed to go and check on my 16 year old cousin who was right outside camping in a tent only 25 feet away.

I awoke the next morning with no memory of this sighting, and neither did my cousin until later that evening at the exact same instant we both remembered and became so flustered; we couldn’t find the words to describe what happened. We both just knew and tears came out of our eyes for a second. Then words came out and he said he saw the exact same thing, and even more than I had seen due to the fact he was out in a tent looking straight at it during all the beam flashes. He told me it looked as if it were searching for me and when it found me the beams stopped. We both drew pictures in separate rooms and compared them; both were almost identical. I still have the drawings. I always wanted to tell my people about this incident but I don’t want to be called crazy…”  - ufostalker.com

Felton, Santa Cruz County, CA

"Large stationary, very bright light that changed shape and color on 6/15/07 at approx 2145. Observed large, very bright light in stationary position due west of Felton, CA. Remained stationary for extended period, and was approx 60 degrees off horizon. Was much larger than nearby stars, and was larger on top than on bottom. Object appeared to be changing shape occasionally, and flashes of red and blue were observed by 3 witnesses, including a long time fire captain and another 911 dispatcher. When viewed through binoculars, object appeared to be horse-shoe shaped, or u-shaped. After 30 min of observation, object was no longer visible from location."

2007, October

Santa Cruz, CA

“While on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, CA, I was looking to the north from the sky tram ride. I noticed a disc hovering in the air at approximately 10,000 feet above and approximately 10 to 20 miles away. It appeared as a quarter in the sky. The day was clear with no cloud cover. The white object was very difficult see even with the clear blue background. There was no sound. I watched it for a minute to make sure I could not identify the object as a known air craft. I pointed it out to my fiancé and she also saw it. We watched it for a minute hovering and then it began to move to the east. Very slowly at first and then it seemed to speed up in two intervals. First it began to move fast and then in the second interval it sped up and went out of sight. This speed transition took place in about 3 seconds. i asked her if she had seen the same thing? She said she had and we just sat there in amazement ... Both of my grandfathers were pilots, and I fly myself. I have also been an avid aircraft enthusiast my whole life designing and building small aircraft. I know how conventional air craft fly and this craft exhibited no flight behavior.” -ufostalker.com

Bonny Doon, Santa Cruz County, CA

"My girlfriend and I stepped outside my house in Bonny Doon, CA, and directly in our line of view as we stepped down the stairs, we noticed a big bright white light moving in a straight line across the sky. I thought it must be an airplane at first. We watched it as it went overhead. It moved about the same speed as an airplane. However, it was brighter than a normal airplane and consisted only of a single light - no flashing. There was also no noise. It also occurred to us that it might be a satellite, but it seemed much lower and larger than that. As it moved further towards the southern end of the sky, it began to turn bright red. As it turned red, it also got smaller and smaller. The intensity of the light also seemed to dim as though it was fizzling out or moving very far away very fast. This happened for no more than 5 seconds before it disappeared completely. Neither my girlfriend nor I felt many emotions during the event, other than fascination and a little disbelief. We stopped in our tracks and just watched it. We asked each other, "Is it turning red?" And "Wow, did it just disappear?" - Stuff like that. We both saw the same thing. About a minute or two after it had disappeared, a loud airplane flew across the sky headed in about the same direction. It was somewhat low in the sky and didn't seem to be a regular passenger jet. Not really an expert on planes but it looked weird - 4 red lights in a row in the back with one long white light along the hull."

2009, July 18th

Santa Cruz, CA

On July 18, 2009, a couple from Santa Cruz captured what is believed to be a UFO on film. They noticed the UFO on three separate occasions that night and caught it flying over the Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz. In their video footage, dark orange colored lights are moving around and fading in and out. Their neighbors confirmed of seeing the lights as well, along with many other local residents. The sighting was reported on the Central Coast News.

2010, May 1st

Santa Cruz, CA

Four people observed six UFOs flying over the Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz on May 1, 2010. They reported to the UFOs Northwest website, “The lights were extremely bright orange and seemed to gain altitude as they headed south towards Monterey. After several minutes they disappeared into the clouds. The objects made no noise and seemed to float like giant glowing balloons.” A man reported the same sighting the following day and described the UFOs to look similar to soap bubbles.

2010, November 19th

Santa Cruz, CA

On November 19, 2010, a UFO was reported by an individual who wrote, “I saw four red orbs flying below cloud cover at 8:40 PM and stopped my car to get out and observe. Another driver did the same. The orbs were very odd and they were definitely not an aircraft,” -UFOs Northwest website. The next morning another witness reported the same sighting.

2010, December 31st

Santa Cruz, CA

On New Year’s Eve, 2010, another local from Santa Cruz filmed a UFO that looked very similar to the UFO seen in 2009. This particular object had one flickering light and emitted a loud unknown buzzing sound. (Many have reported hearing humming or buzzing sounds near the bay at times and believe it’s linked to the UFOs.)

2011, January 23rd

Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, CA

"Driving on a dark road near my rural Santa Cruz County home at a little after 7pm, I round a corner and was faced with an obvious, couldn't have missed it if I tried, scenario. Above and beyond the hillside separating the road from the beach, about five to ten miles away, at about 3000 to 5000 feet, I was blown away by the dramatic and unexplainable phenomena hovering and flashing at a slow and steady rate - on and off. I pulled off to the side of the road - after a minute, I got out of my car to watch more effectively. The flashing orb must have hovered and shone it brilliant bright, yet soft while light, for about three or four minutes. I began to feel as though it sensed my awareness and consequently, felt a bit of fear star to hit me. however, it was far enough away, that I had a certain sense of safety. Anyway, after about four or five minutes, the flashing orb powered down to a fraction of its original brilliance. At this point, the hovering ended and the dimming light began moving away from the ocean and toward the interior. As it got further away, it had smaller red lights involved in some way or another. This was an event that launched me into a whole new stratosphere of determination to do my part to help people prepare for the changes we are experiencing in an ongoing manner. However, the changes we are facing could very well require a level of wisdom and intelligence that goes beyond the kind of cleverness that has succeeded in the past. As Eckhart Tolle said: 'Intelligence joins, cleverness divides.'"

2011, April 16th

Santa Cruz, CA

On April 16, 2011 right before sunset, four people witnessed nine objects flying in an odd pattern in the sky above Santa Cruz. The sighting was reported to the UFOs Northwest website, which states, “There were about seven that flew in an odd pattern with two traveling behind. The initial seven seemed to disappear into the sky. The two traveling behind seemed to disappear in the same location. Then two more came into sight in the same trailing pattern to the main group. All objects appeared orange in the sunset sky and then twinkled out and disappeared.”

Soquel, Santa Cruz County, CA

"My wife and I were going to dinner Labor Day Monday evening at about 9 pm. I'm a state police officer 15 years if that adds some credibility. I was off duty at the time. we were approaching an intersection in the town of Soquel, CA. Darkness had just set. We are a coastal community and this time of year the fog rolls in when the sun goes down. It wasn't foggy at ground level but the cloud ceiling was very low; maybe a few thousand feet. We were facing toward the connecting town of Capitola which sits right on the Monterey Bay. We were no more than 1 1/2 miles from Capitola and the beach waterline. No other vehicles were on the road at this time. We approached the intersection and stopped for a red light. It was at this time we observed 10 or so lights traveling from left to right very slowly just below the fog ceiling. They were all exactly the same size and color of light. About basketball size with a bright yellowish light hue. They were staggered in formation one high, one low, one high, and so on. The light they emitted was consistent not blinking in any pattern. They all seemed to move slowly up and down not necessarily in unison. just kinda bobbling as they traveled slowly. We jumped out of the car immediately and fumbled to get a picture with my wive's phone to no avail. Suddenly as the first light disappeared farthest to the right, the rest of the lights also did one by one, as soon as they would reach the same spot the first one disappeared at. Maybe a few second or more apart. Never saw anything like it until I was watching a UFO program on (I think the history channel) one day.  The program showed the exact lights in the exact formation traveling left to right at dusk over some mountains in Arizona. I woke my wife at the time and rewound the show for her to see. She absolutely agreed it was one in the same. There are no airports in the vicinity and no military bases; besides no plane or helicopter would be allowed to fly in that weather. We rarely see them during the day in good weather. I tried to find other possible witnesses to no avail. I'm very certain what I saw." 

2012, November 12th

Felton, Santa Cruz County, CA

"Two ufos seen by a skeptic in Felton, CA. I went to take my dog out to pee. this just happened, and I am upset that I was alone because no one will believe this. Case in point when I ran in to tell my husband, and he came out to see there was nothing, and he thinks I'm insane. but I know what I saw. I was looking up at the redwoods like I usually do. I was spacing out while my dog roamed around sniffing. I noticed a weird whistle? which at 2 am in the woods where I live is very unusual. So I tensed and was getting to call my dog back in fear that there was some crazy person (we've had drifters show up on the property before) lurking about. then I noticed that it sounded like a whistle mixed in with some kind of radio station. I know this is weird, but I thought it sounded like rock music and a human whistle combined. I then just looked up. I don't know why; and there was a plane. Not that unusual and I was about to look away to go inside away from the sound. But then the sound stopped, and the plane started moving weird and was going in a circle. I thought it might be a helicopter as they've been known to make runs looking for illegal weed farms up here, but it wasn't. I don't know how to describe the pattern of flight, but it was not a helicopter. It went sort of wobbly. Then to the side. Then to the other side, making a sort of exaggerated oval pattern still moving forward. This is going to sound insane, but I feel like it noticed me watching it because it stopped its weird flying and just hovered for a few seconds. then I noticed a second smaller one off in the distance- also flying towards my general direction. A sense of fear hit me that I have never felt before. (I have been attacked on the subway, and I didn't feel fear as strongly as this.) I screamed for the dog and ran inside. I woke my husband and he went outside to smoke a cigarette. I followed him out there and there was nothing. After he made fun of me, I decided to type this while this was fresh in my mind and submit it to whatever sites for logging this sort of thing I could find. whatever it is did not seem friendly, or I was too scared and that shut down my thinking. But, this is the simplest way I can put it so, I will just repeat it: It did not seem friendly."

Santa Cruz, CA

“Two friends and I were spending father's day having a bonfire on a beach in Santa Cruz. It was around 3 am when we decided to go home. As we were leaving we past a homeless man who was walking onto the beach. As we past this man, he pointed to the sky and asked us, ‘what's that?’ We all turned to look, and when we saw what he was pointing at we froze. There was a faint fireball coming straight out of the sky. I was raised by an astronomer, so at first I thought it was a comet. But as it got closer it stopped. The flames vanished and I could see this cylindrical metal craft with white lights around the bottom. It looked like a metal toilet paper roll. The craft bottom started to close, like a cartoon satellite opening. As it did that, the shape turned into a disc, almost as if the toilet paper roll had been compressed. It got longer and shorter; I could see a window form at the top that appeared to go 360 degrees around the craft. The lights went out and the craft turned into a bubble. I could see stars behind it, but I could see the reflection of the city lights. The craft started floating north up the coast. We walked to the car keeping an eye on this bubble craft thing. We followed it for about 10 minutes before we lost sight of it. Scariest day of my life. I still tear up and get anxiety when I think about it. We are not alone in this universe, I am now a true believer.” -Ufostalker.com

2013, December

Santa Cruz, CA

In December of 2013, at around 1 AM my friend and I witnessed what we believe to be a group of UFOs. While we were smoking a cigarette outside on her balcony overlooking the boardwalk, we saw these multi-colored lights way up in the sky above the ocean. They were moving fast creating a circle, and then began weaving in and out of each other for a few minutes. Then suddenly, several (about 20) smaller lights came out from the main lights, which danced around and mostly circled each other at high speed for about 10 minutes. We even saw a plane fly by (much lower than the lights) and it wasn't going nearly as fast as the lights were. I had never seen anything like it, and it took me by such surprise, of course I first wondered if I was just seeing things.

 I asked my friend, “Ummm ... are you seeing what I'm seeing?!!!"

“Hell yeah,” she replied. “This is f***ing insane!!!!” 

About a month after our encounter, I researched online and found that someone had seen them as well, that very night from their home in Boulder Creek. - Author, Aubrey Graves
