Its started off with me and my brother going halibut and rock cod fishing,we went out of santa cruz harbor around 5:45 am,it was super foggy so we went very slow and waited to get some sunrise to we could see a liitle bit but it was very thick lower fog,we got out to around the mile bouy and the sun started to rise so we said to each other lets go to south rock to catch some rock cod so we headed towards monterey in that direction and that would of been south,as we got around 3 to 4 miles out we knew we went a little to far but i look at my fish finder and it should some reef so i told my brother bait and lets try here,so we fished their for about 2 to 3 hours as the sun was going up their was a break in the thick fog as we were out far enough that it started to break up in certain areas,i was in the back of my boat and my brother was in the front he could not see me he was facing forwards i was facing towards monterey south i was looking around like i aways do not up around for whales and dolphines sometimes sharks when i notice some thing dark that caught my eye i look up and seen a saucer shaped ufo just hovering around 11 oclock around 500 to 1000 feet above...It just stayed their not moving no sound no nothing i stared at this for a few min but i could not get my brothers attension like it wouldnt let me like i forgot how to move talk or do anything all i remember was it had a shinning strip og some kinda medal in the middle the rest was dark grey dark and a hint of bright yellow like pulsing as a shading i think but mostly dark grey like the u2 spy plane but not as dark hard to say,the wierd thing is i dident even remeber fishing the rest of the day i dont remember driving my boat home or even telling my brother about this ntill a few years later,its like it erased my memory of the time i saw it and after becuase i dont even remeber if we caught fish or driving my boat or how we even got home! i have a good memory especially when i go fishing but i have never seen anything like this ever again..I am kinda nervous to go out in the fog again,it wasnt a scary encounter just more strange then anything,like why cant i remember anything after i saw it?? i wasnt afraid at all,i really felt peaceful as i uselly do being in the ocean but this time was really pleasent????I dunno but this is what i saw 100% honest and 100% it was a ufo,nothing can hover like that and it was the size of maybe like i say as long or a little bit shorter then a 737. very smooth bottom there was no way this thing had any kinda wheel wells for landing gear it was solid smooth!! best wishes to you all bare with my spelling please.
