SIGHTING: MADERA, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Me and my mom were out in the front of our house smoking a cigarette talking about work when she first noticed a strange light that seemed to jump straight forward before disappearing. I did not see this. About two minutes later, I walk out into the yard and was talking about something else and I saw a big red light appear out of nowhere. It dipped quickly down and then up again like a boomerang pattern before just disappearing . There were no trees or buildings blocking the sky--it just vanished.I didn't know what to make of it when I first saw it. I have spent my entire life around Air Force bases and I can't say this is the first time we've experienced strange lights/object in the sky. At Edwards AFB, it was a weekly occurrence to see strange lights in the sky, though probably test aircraft.I suppose my mother and I were just amazed and thought it was interesting."
