Case File Status: Information Case Only; No Formal Investigation

Background

The following case was submitted to The Black Vault / TBV Investigations. There was no formal investigation to the case, and is offered here for informational purposes.

Witness Testimony

The witness submitted the following testimony:

“I live on top of a hill. I was idly watching Victorville city light to the west of me when I saw and unusual sight due south of me. It was 4 red light arranged in a perfect level square with 4 white lights perfectly centered on the 4 red light but at 90° to the red lights, ie diamond shaped. I watched for several minutes. Three airplanes lining up for Ontario Airport runway crossed in front of it on their flight down to the runway. The lights never change in size. Then in a blink, they disappeared. The retired George AF base some time fly out of there as well as helicopters, but as ex-military I know all of their markings and light, this was not one of them.

Total time of the observation just under 15 minutes.”

Date of Sighting: July 18, 2008
Time of Sighting: 12:25 AM PDT
Date Sighting Reported: July 18, 2008
Duration of Sighting: 1 to 2 Seconds
Location of Sighting: About 6 Miles N. of Apple Valley, California
Latitude: 34.59 Degrees North (Position of Observation & Not Location of Object)
Longitude: 117.19 Degrees West (Position of Observation & Not Location of Object)
Number of Witnesses: One
Weather: Skies Were Clear. Visibility Was 10 Miles. Winds Were From the West at 10 MPH.

Description: The witness called and reported his sighting on the morning that it happened. He stated that he was on approach with his “Mooney” aircraft on a heading of 240 degrees (southwest) at 3,300 feet, and traveling at 145 knots. He saw a bright neon green object over the west valley near Magoo Naval Air Station in Ventura, California. He said that the object was moving at a heading of 270 degrees (west).

Comments: The witness is an accomplished helicopter mechanic and an experienced pilot. He has been flying for 25 years, has nearly 5,000 hours of flying time, is instrument rated, and he has a multi-engine rating. The only drawback to this sighting is that the witness only saw the object (light) for 1 to 2 seconds. This fact reduces the accuracy of his observation.
