Friend & I retuned home from movie. We lived on a hill that over looked the desert. I looked out to the s.w. and saw this object and i said to my friend look at that and it left the ground and disappered all most straight up before he could turn and look at it.The craft was round with a dome on it. It was like a soft white color and had like port holes around it. It wasn`t far off the ground. As the crow flys it was about three quarters of a mile away. It was a clear summer night with no obstuctions in the way of viewing . It left the spot with no sound and went out of sight staight up in just a matter of seconds and out of sight.Over the years i have seen simular pictures but not the one i saw.The one that comes close to it is the picture of te one in McMinnville,Oregon. About one week later about three in the after noon four of us were playing basket ball and looked up to get a rebound and there were 3 disk like objects in the sky in the formation of a > again no sound and were flying around the height of a plane.They were a med. gray color and just went across the sky about the speed of a com. jet would now days.
