SIGHTING: SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"This is the story of the photos. I have been taking photos of the California sky from my patio for 2 years and a half now. I examine them at different zoom levels and discard them, because I had never found anything in them. March 17 2009 was an exceptionally clear and warm day after several cold days in a row,so I was enjoying the patio and the view of the mountains. I took my camera and started shooting. Later, I examined them. And I found the object that looks like a UFO with silvery metallic body that I include here. It was far away a and I did not see it while I was taking the picture. I am in the habit of not observing the sky, I examine the pictures.I discarded all other photos, around 16-20 of them.... What I did was zoom in with Microsoft Office Picture Manager and grab a screen capture when it was zoomed in with FastStone Capture. I keep for my records the big 10 MP digital file which is to big to send. It is worth mentioning that during a few minutes before, while and after I was taking the photos I saw a green helicopter fly above our home, though the actual object was far away over the mountains, far beyond Rocky Peak, I would say. It is not normal to see green helicopters flying by, though I can identify others that may be private, commercial or police flying by over us sometimes. I also so the same helicopter in the afternoon of March 17, and I took some pictures again. There were two objects in these but I could not say they are UFOS since they are blurry since by this time I had seen the morning pictures and was a little nervous about it. The zooms are 200x and 400x respectively."
