Nobody knows for sure. But Ontario police did receive several calls from residents who reported seeing a large red light hovering high above their rooftops. Jim Semon said he was awakened about 12:15 a.m. Friday by his dogs barking. "I sat up and I heard a noise like fireworks," he said. "They came from this red light in the sky." Semon, a physical education teacher at Chaffey High School, said he jumped out of bed and ran outside. "My wife said, `What are you doing?' I said, `Honey, there's some weird fireworks or something out here.'" The light appeared high in the sky to the south of the Semon's house in the 300 block of East Fifth Street, he said. It hovered silently, occasionally giving off flashes of colored lights and loud popping sounds, he said. The light also periodically grew and shrunk in size, and moved in occasional bursts across the sky, he said. "It was weird - flat-out weird," said Semon. "I want to find out what the sucker was. I hope someone else saw it." Apparently, someone else did. Between about 10:30 p.m. Thursday and 12:30 a.m. Friday, Ontario police had three other calls about the light. Dispatchers at the West End sheriff's station in Ontario also received similar calls. After he watched it for about 15 minutes, the red light began moving east, Semon said. Then it disappeared altogether. Not everyone is convinced of the sighting, however. Marv Shappi, a supervisor in the radar approach control building at Ontario International Airport, said he isn't aware of any unusual objects in the local skies Thursday night. "I'm not saying things can't happen, but I'm a little skeptical," he said. "People see a lot of strange things." ------------------------------------- Report #: 130 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 08-06-1986 Subject: PETALUMA, CA CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 22 MAY 1986 TIME: 0430 - 0530 HOURS DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: THIRTEEN SOURCE: MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL ------------------------------------- PETALUMA - The mysterious, illuminated orange "X" that hovered over Petaluma in the predawn sky Thursday remained unexplained today.

Reports of a low flying helicopter in the Marks Ridge area Saturday morning and a sighting of a mysterious cloud of fire that lit up the early morning sky. We've had 13 reports so far from persons who either saw a low flying helicopter or heard the noise from it said Police Chief Gary David. Some people even reported that it might be more that one aircraft. Chief David was one of the witnesses. He was riding with officer Dave Persons when the first report came into the police department and messages were relayed to the pair who were near Foster Dam. Dispatcher Transcript..... We just got a call reporting a helicopter flying low in the Mountain View area. It was last seen in the Marks Ridge area. Officer Persons: There are flames,fire shooting up in the woods around Marks Ridge. It looks very hot, there are lots of intense flames. Officer Person then ask the dispatcher to have the fire department stand by and was told that fire marshal Keith Gabriel had seen the flames. Chief David said the county sheriff's office immediately dispatched patrol car from the Scio area and at daybreak a helicopter was user to scout the area. They actually made two flights untill after 10 am They saw absolutely nothing. Chief David said that he and Officer Persons were at a far right angle from the flame but he said the explosion formed a bright orange, white and red fireball that ascended like a cloud at the west end of Marks Ridge. Several persons were awakened by the noise of the aircraft. One caller said he actually saw a helicopter flying toward Foster Lake, very low with "no lights on" and moving very fast. At 10 am the search for a possible downed helicopter or the fireball was called off. Officer contacted area military but as of Monday no comfirmations of military maneuvers were made. CUFON did some investigation into this case but but could come up with nothing new although this case does resemble the kentucky fireball sighting that took place on Aug 12, 1986 nothing was found there either. ------------------------------------- ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
