--------------------------------------
|
|
Sightings of strange flying objects have become more frequent in these
|
|
parts since late May when a California Highway Patrol officer spotted
|
|
a peculiar light in the sky during the wee hours of the morning.
|
|
|
|
But last weekend, not only did Sonoman Joan Burtson observe an unusual
|
|
flying object - this one toyed with her and followed her car for several
|
|
blocks before finally giving up and going away.
|
|
|
|
The head nurse at a local convalescent hospital dismesses the notion
|
|
that the bright object in the dawn sky which taunted her for some
|
|
15 minutes was a space ship carting around some alien beings.
|
|
|
|
"I don't believe in them," she emphatically states. "I don't know
|
|
what it was but I don't believe in UFO's. Burtson will acknowledge
|
|
that in the last few weeks she has heard numerous rumors of UFO sightings
|
|
in Sonoma Valley.
|
|
|
|
For instance, an acquaintance on Eighth Street East reported that
|
|
ever since the CHP officer saw the strange light two months ago
|
|
"that thing has been hanging around here."
|
|
|
|
However, Burtson's description and that of the CHP patrolman are vastly
|
|
different leading one to believe there are several odd things hovering
|
|
around up there.
|
|
|
|
What was seen on the early morning of May 21 was a bright orange "X"
|
|
shaped object heading at a high rate of speed over the Valley to Petaluma.
|
|
|
|
The only similarity with Saturday's unexplained illuminating object
|
|
was that both were apparently headed in the same direction over the
|
|
hill to Petaluma.
|
|
|
|
Burtson remembers it as a "solid mass of white light, it was circular
|
|
about the size of an apple.
|
|
|
|
"There were no colors and it was not flashing." she recalls. Burtson's
|
|
curious find took place at 5:15 a.m. as she was on her way home from
|
|
Napa after dropping her husband Pat off at work.
|
|
|
|
She initially noticed the stationary light in the vicinity of Eighth
|
|
Street East and Napa Road. Later as she approached Leveroni Road
|
|
from Fifth Street West the flying object moved along with her and
|
|
made the same right turn.
|
|
|
|
She subsequently made three U turns and each time the object would
|
|
seemingly use its remote control to reverse its course also.
|
|
|
|
"I thought to myself this is weird so I made three U turns to test
|
|
it out," she says.
|
|
|
|
On occasion, the UFO would become obscured by the trees but almost
|
|
the entire way home, no matter what Burtson would do " it would move
|
|
right along with me," she laughs.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the flying object, for whatever reason, decided the game
|
|
of cat and mouse was over and it headed towards the Diamond A area,
|
|
disappearing over the hill.

Roosevelt Spurlock was relaxing on the front porch of his Oneida Home.
|
|
Mary Helton was at her Countryside Restaurant. Margy Turner was also
|
|
finishing up her duties at the restaurant. Vernon Stidham was at
|
|
his Red Bird home.
|
|
|
|
Still, they all said they seen it. A large square object with red
|
|
lights, windows, hovering just above the big hills in Bullskin.
|
|
|
|
What these four people saw as well as many more Oneidians Tuesday
|
|
night has this small calm, peaceful mountain town in a complete uproar
|
|
Wednesday morning.
|
|
|
|
Air traffic controllers at the London Airport say it must have been
|
|
a large plane... possibly a B-52 flying a low altitude.
|
|
|
|
However, Roosevelt Spurlock, a forest ranger with the Peabody Ranger
|
|
Station says what he saw was no plane because he has seen a lot of
|
|
planes in his day.
|
|
|
|
Mary Helton swears what she saw was no plane. "I saw it and it was
|
|
very big, scary, and square with windows," said the Oneida restaurant
|
|
owner.
|
|
|
|
"It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered" said Spurlock.
|
|
"I was sitting on my front porch and it came over the Bullskin mountains
|
|
barely cutting the mountaintops.
|
|
|
|
It had two front redlights and two back red lights. It was square
|
|
and large and it scared me," said the forestry man.
|
|
|
|
"It just made this loud earpiercing sound, sort of like a whistling
|
|
sound" said Helton.
|
|
|
|
"This thing circled and came back traveling at a very slow speed,"
|
|
said Spurlock, "and no plane could go that slow."
