A beautiful apparition has been glowing in the night sky over Saratoga,
|
||
|
|
leaving viewers baffled and entranced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
About 15 people, all agog, called Santa Clara County dispatchers on Tuesday
|
||
|
|
night to report a mysterious bright red light that hovered in the sky from
|
||
|
|
8:15 to 8:30 and then disappeared.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dozens of callers described a similar phenomenon on Oct. 16, same time, same
|
||
|
|
place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"It was very exciting," said Maureen Denton of Los Gatos, who watched last
|
||
|
|
week's display during a break in her real estate class at West Valley College.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"It was very bright, much larger than the lights you see on airplanes. At
|
||
|
|
one point, something burning or flickering dropped from it. It was just a
|
||
|
|
tiny little flicker that came down. We all went: `Oooh, what was that?'"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No one seems to know.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That includes Vicki Yauger of Saratoga, who spied the object Tuesday night
|
||
|
|
while lounging with her husband in their backyard spa.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yauger said the light appeared high in the northwestern sky, first moving
|
||
|
|
toward them, then away.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Through her binoculars, the apparition became a cluster of lights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"It was scary. When it started getting larger, it seemed to be coming
|
||
|
|
down," she said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yauger didn't see the object fade from view because she had just gone into
|
||
|
|
the house. Her husband told her the light turned green and slowly
|
||
|
|
disappeared.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Spokesmen at Moffett Field Naval Air Station said nothing flew out of their
|
||
|
|
airfield Tuesday that looked like that. And officials at Vandenberg Air Force
|
||
|
|
Base in Lompoc said they didn't launch a thing Tuesday night. Ditto for Oct.
|
||
|
|
15.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other watchers of the night sky - air traffic controllers and astronomers
|
||
|
|
at Lick Observatory - said they saw nothing unusual.
