A California witness reports noticing a cloud with "ripples" where a "bump" suddenly formed and "this thing started to lower down out of the cloud," according to May 6, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness immediately grabbed a camera and took three images.
"The thing in the cloud looked as if it lowered itself down out of the cloud to release some type of gas or something else out of the end of whatever it was in the cloud," the witness stated. "Then it slowly went back up into the cloud. The same way it showed up. I showed the pictures to friends and they told me to give the pictures to the right people."
The witness offers three images: Image # 1, Image # 2, and Image # 3.
No town name was mentioned in the public portion of the MUFON report, which was filed on May 6, 2011. The event occurred on April 24, 2011. The above quotes were edited for clarity.
