saucer larger than a sierra nevada mountainit was a huge saucer shape to large to even imagine how large it was, with a ring of lights in the center diamater of the saucer,the lights were of various colors all the lights appeared to be and would get brighter and dimmer randomly, it appeared over a large mountain less than a 1/4 mile from my house, the saucer was larger than the mountain, there a hazy glow in the background of the saucer, as we watched the saucer one of our dogs who was stannding next to us (a husky) saw the saucer whimpered, ran off and hid under our house. the 3 of us watched the saucer for at least 10 minuets, then a beam of white light shot out of the top of the saucer, it was narrow and got widder as it projected upwards, there was no sound at all comming from the saucer,then it dissapeared and left a glowing haze behind.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
