BREAKING NEWS. Lots of reports and witnesses to this sighting coming into NUFORC! Are there any MUFON reports?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Occurred : 4/16/2012 07:00 (Entered as : 04/16/12 7:00) Reported: 4/16/2012 1:56:31 PM 13:56 Posted: 4/18/2012 Location: Merced County, CA Shape: Other Duration:Unknown URL: www.nuforc.org/webreports/088/S88440.htmlObject sighted above Pacheco Pass Highway 152 morning of 4/16/12 I was driving West on Highway 152 Pacheco Pass in Merced County on my way to work at approximately 7:00-7:15 AM. I was traveling approximately 80 mph in moderate traffic when I begun to crest the top of the Pass. I quickly noticed an object in the sky. My immediate thought was it was a Highway Patrol Aircraft patrolling, so I immediately slowed to 70 mph. I then noticed this object clearly did not have wings. I then thought it must be a helicopter of some type because it didn’t appear to be moving. The shape stood out to me as almost a pentagon shaped vessel and didn’t seem to have any distinct rotor or tail section. I would estimate its size to be slightly larger than a big SUV but it’s hard to estimate given the distance of I would guess 150-200 feet. The object appeared to be white or a light grey. I did not see any lights or additional markings on the object. It struck me as strange because this object did not appear to be aero dynamic at all and it remained still. I was able to see it for a period of about 45 seconds continuously. At which point my position relative to the object was such that my roof prevented me from seeing it. I wasn’t sure what it was, but didn’t pay much more attention to it. Then I noticed what was a moderate amount of traffic was now almost nonexistent. There were close to 60 vehicles pulled to the side of the road. I thought there may be an emergency so I began to slow even more and increase my awareness. Everyone seemed to be pulling over or already stopped and photographing or looking toward the sky. I was late so I continued to work. I looked back several times to catch another glimpse of the object. I caught a short 3-4 second glimpse of the object which was now behind me. I am not sure if it was moving or not. The really strange thing is from this perspective (assuming it was the same object) has an elongated shape much narrower and taller than the original. I’m not saying it changed shape and I cannot be certain that it was the same object, only that the position in the sky seemed correct and it was also suspended in a similar manor. Hoping to hear from one of the motorists pulled over who captured a photo or video. ((NUFORC Note: Many witnesses in Los Banos area. Approximately 15 witnesses contacted a newspaper in Los Banos, CA, about the sighting. We do not know yet what the object was. PD))

After observing several vehicles pulled over and people out of their cars staring up to the sky we decided to see what they were all looking at. We asked a nearby driver what they were looking at and he pointed up to a dark speck up in the sky. Traveling westbound on 152 the object was on the south of highway. It just hovered in the same spot and did not appear to move. I pulled out my camera which has a 30 X zoom and snapped several pictures of it, which I have emailed in already. We stood there about 10 minutes total and then drove on.
Occurred : 4/16/2012 08:00 (Entered as : 04/16/2012 8:00) Reported: 4/17/2012 9:23:20 AM 09:23 Posted: 4/18/2012 Location: Los Banos, CA Shape: Oval Duration:45 minutes URL: www.nuforc.org/webreports/088/S88457.htmlStaff and students looked up into the western blue sky with a light cloud cover. In the distance we all witnessed an object fade in and out of the sky. As it traveled in a southern direction at a slow pase it would fade in and out of sight not because of the clouds but possibly due to the reflection of the sun hitting the outer part of the object. Reports where made to local law inforcement offices but no one knew what the object was. It was to high to be a blimp and moving to slow to be a plane. I also submitted a picture to the Merced Sun Star.
Occurred : 4/16/2012 07:48 (Entered as : 4/16/12 07:48) Reported: 4/16/2012 10:29:08 PM 22:29 Posted: 4/18/2012 Location: Pacheco Pass, CA Shape: Rectangle Duration: URL: www.nuforc.org/webreports/088/S88451.htmlUFO over Pacheco Pass I was driving on Pacheco Pass this morning and saw dozens of cars on both sides of the road pulled over taking pictures of something. I pulled over a few minutes later, at 7:48 am and got out of the car. It looked like a giant white triangle hovering high up in the sky not moving at all. It definitely wasn't a weather balloon as it didn't budge with the wind at all. There was also a shiny object that moved vertical from the area of the object towards the opposite direction. I watched for a few minutes and couldn't get a clear picture with my phone so got back into my car. When I looked back about 5 miles later, I couldn't see it any longer from where I was.

Witnesses went to the local press... "((NUFORC Note: Many witnesses in Los Banos area. Approximately 15 witnesses contacted a newspaper in Los Banos, CA, about the sighting. We do not know yet what the object was. PD))"
"It was to high to be a blimp and moving to slow to be a plane. I also submitted a picture to the Merced Sun Star."Los Banos EnterpriseTuesday, Apr. 17, 2012 Dozens spot unidentified flying object near Pacheco PassPhoto submitted by Greg Alvarez It's hard to tell exactly what's pictured here, but Greg Alvarez and dozens of other witnesses say that bright spot in the middle of an image was a metallic, oblong flying object near Los Banos on Monday morning.LOS BANOS -- Merced County is hardly Roswell, N.M., but don't tell that to the dozens of drivers who pulled over to the side of Highway 152 to snap photos of an unidentified flying object over Pacheco Pass on Monday morning. Sgt. Luis Lara of the California Highway Patrol's Los Banos office was one of at least three CHP officers who responded to calls about the oblong metallic object with a tail. Lara said the object, whatever it was, must have been moving fast. The first calls, received about 8:30 a.m., reported the sightings around the Los Banos area, but 10 minutes later, the CHP was receiving calls about a "very bright object" about a dozen miles away near Pacheco Pass. That's a cruising speed of roughly a mile a minute. Neither Lara nor the other CHP officers, dispatched from both sides of Pacheco Pass, spotted the object. Neither did Darrell Allen, the deputy with the Merced County Sheriff's Department who was dispatched to investigate. Greg Alvarez, a staffer at Valley Community Day School in Los Banos, saw the object with a number of other staff and students on campus. He said it was traveling westbound, toward San Luis Reservoir, and it seemed to fade in and out of sight. "It was way too high in the sky to be a blimp," he said. "If I had to guess, it may be a weather balloon." Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center, based in Washington state, said he'd already had one report about the Los Banos incident. A witness told him he was driving westbound on Highway 152 about 80 mph Monday morning when he noticed the object in the sky. Dozens of other drivers had pulled over to take pictures, he said. "When you have that many people stopping to notice this thing, you have to pause and take notice," Davenport said. He's encouraging witnesses to submit high-quality photos and short, detailed descriptions of the event. Submissions can be made to the group's website at www.ufocenter.com. "We want people to report it immediately," Davenport said. "I'm trained as a scientist, and without facts and documentation, you don't have anything."

A MUFON report: Case Number 37526Date of the Event: 04/16/2012 07:30 UTC I was driving west on Hwy 152 from Los Banos, CA at 7:30am. As I drove past the dam at the east end of San Luis Resevoir I saw a bright light above the hills on the west end of the lake. My first thought was that it was a reflection of the sun behind me off a low flying silver airplane. The light was not moving so I thought it might be a reflection off the tip of a radio tower. I was not aware of a radio tower in the area so over the next couple of miles I looked hard to see if I could spot on underneath the light. As I drovealong the north side of the lake and over Pacheco Pass for the next five minutes or so, I lost visual contact with the light. As I descended the pass, I noticed a white car parked along the road and a man standing next to it with binoculars. Around the next curve I saw 4 cars pulled over, with people out of the cars looking upward to the south. I thought they had spotted a California condor or some other rare bird. Around the next corner were 6 cars pulled over. I had to know what they were looking at. I pulled over and looked up. There was a large metallic rectangle perched in the sky. I got out of my truck and immediately began talking to the man & woman from the next car. Over the next 15 minutes we talked about everything we saw, so I know we all saw the same thing and had the same questions. I saw a large rectangle floating in the sky at roughly 60 degrees up from the horizon. I extimate that the rectangle was half a mile or less from us, 80 feet high and 50 feet wide. The side facing us was silver metallic in color. It was highly reflective, like Mylar. It was silvery except when it reflected the sun at us. The bursts of reflection were sporadic as though there was equipment or a texture of some sort on the surface. The object was stationary and silent. We looked for wings and balloons, and listened for motors. We saw no means of propulsion or levitation with which we were familiar. After a few minutes, perhaps 5, the object began to rotate. As it rotated 90 degrees, we saw that the side was very narrow and black. It rotated a little more and we saw that the back was also black in color. The narrow side showed us that the overall shape of the object was similar to a mattress or paperback book. The corners and edges were crisp like a book rather than rounded like a mattress. Given my estimate of a 50x80 foot object, I estimate that the thickness was about 5 feet. Once the object rotated we observed that it was moving slowly toward the southwest. The winds were blowing gently in that direction, so it is possible that the object was drifting with the wind. We continued to look, almost compulsively, for evidence of a helium-filled balloon. The object did not appear to change its elevation. After 10 minutes the object had moved far enough away from us that it was a small black speck with one small bright reflective spot. At this point the man and his wife left. I watched the object 5 minutes more, until 8:00AM, and then left. Its appearance did not change again. The object could have been a giant book shaped balloon filled with helium made of silver and black Mylar. The hurdles to this possibility are: 1) a very odd shape and orientation for a balloon, 2) object did not appear to flex or otherwise react to the wind, 3) there is no apparent source of a 20,000cf balloon that would only have risen to 400-800 yards near San Luis Reservoir (closest towns are 20 miles east and 20 miles west) 4) object rotated 90 degrees then stopped rather than continuing its rotation from angular momentum, 5) the edges appeared crisp like metal rather than puffy like a Mylar balloon.
UFO Sighting over San Luis Reservoir By msyn on April 17th, 2012 URL: www.mengsyn.com/?p=1663I knew in my gut today would be different at the lake. The Solonar tables showed a major period from 6 to noon, the cows were feeding in the grass on the way up. It was going to be epic. the first weird thing I noticed as I pulled over the rise and caught my first glimpse of the lake around 6:45 was the lack of crowds, cars and wind even thought the Wind line indicated a 10mph NW wind, the lake was glass. Then I saw it–a huge reflective light in the sky across the lake above Portuguese Cove. I saw people pulled over looking at it but I didn’t really give it much thought till I pulled into the boat ramp at Basalt. I had my Lumix GH2 with a 14-140 lens so I decided to take some video of the thing in the sky. The enlarged frame grab looks like a giant set of white trousers. It was weird that the thing did not move with the breeze. I could see the wind generators spinning on the north side of the lake. The object did move but not with the wind. I watched it while I fished until about 8:00 and then I couldn’t see it anymore. It left. ET phoned home. Apparently I was not the only one who saw it.

A UFO Flap? One sighting event never constitutes a flap. Never the less, I did some checking. Checked the NOAA daily climate weather history reports for April 16, 2012 for Mercied, California. Pacheco Pass is roughly between Los Banos/Hwy 5 and Gilroy to the west. Within the 30 miles between those two locations are some low coastal mountains. See map. I have placed a red triangle to illustrate the location of Pacheco Pass. There were three mufon reports, and three or more NUFORC reports. Reading the text, it is apparent there are duplicate reports submitted to both data bases by the same witnesses. The best detailed reports indicate about 12 automobiles in three close but separate locations had pulled over to see what everyone else was observing. Most were on the right side of the road so the observers were likely traveling west bound. They must have seen the first car, then passed, around the next bend saw a group of cars with people standing around and prompted others to also pull over and look. So in total there were a minimum of 12 witnesses observing a single anomalous object in the sky - altitude and size undetermined observed at a azimuth of 45 to 60 degrees skyward. Object appeared small. The NOAA weather history data shows clear skies (confirmed by photos) on April 16, 2012 around 7:00 to 8:00 hours (AM). Winds blowing gently about 5 mph to the N to N/W. I was particularly interested in the wind direction and velocity. Witness reports describe the object in the distance moving with the wind to the southwest (contrary to the NOAA weather history). Since the NOAA data records only the daily average, and not the wind direction at the specific time of the sighting, the witness observation 'on the spot' takes precedence IMO. The fact it was slowly moving with the wind is significant. IMO, the object (and suspected by a few of the objective witnesses at the location observing) is a drifting discarded mylar reflective child's balloon. The significance of the reports are that so many stopped to report. Hoping to see a UFO (indicated by where the reports were sent to), the witnesses assumed it's importance by the number of people who simply stopped to see what was going on IMO. The temperature was cool to moderate in the morning, and by noon was warming. This would also warm the gases in a balloon assisting it's ascent. All the observers seem to be traveling west bound with the sun to their backs early in the morning, which would make the reflection off the object much more conspicuous. In 'crowd psychology' - this is called convergence, and deindividuation theorys - the collective mindset of a crowd. The classic experiment is used even in old silent film comedies where one man gazes up at the sky. Soon a crowd forms to see what the first is attempting to see. The first crankster then slips away while the crowd struggles to see what they think everyone else must be seening, soon the crowd disappears. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_psychologySteve Importantly an original photo here - before being enlarged exaggerating it's undetermined size confusing further the size/altitude question. What is remarkable is not the UFO at all. But the sociological reaction to it by the significant group that formed stopping to observe IMO. One report made a bit later described Jets reacting to the object, This is often reported. However the other more than half dozen reports never mention this. But guess which report will probably be posted in 'Filers files'? Likely the eronious one with the jets reaction of course! Filers files (amazingly by a mufon eastern region director too no less) proclaims we are practically under outer space attack weekly - and twice on Saturdays! ;D ) To further the 'crowd psychology' the reports are posted on the Internet - the highest form of 'crowd psychology'. ;D Steve CLIMATE REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, CA 522 AM PDT TUE APR 17 2012 ...................................

Of course wind direction isn't always exactly the same above at different altitudes as what it is on the surface so it still could've been affected by the current above. I do agree though that it does appear from photos to resemble a mylar balloon. I believe you are right. On another note, I apologize for going ( off topic ). I use to live in Merced when I was very young. Like Id said before, we moved alot when I was growing up. In the middle of an almond orchard, we lived in a house in a small community. From what I remember, Merced was a small town back then. I was only about 6- 7 years old ? We were the only family in this community who were caucasians and I was friends with this girl who knew the english language. They were friendly and well respectable people. On Cinco De Mayo I recall alot of beer drinking among the community, food that was just awesome, a pig turning over an open fire, and I was the child who broke the Pinata,,,lol. The girl who I had befriended, her and I were in a treehouse and I remember it falling from the tree while we were in it,,,lol. Lots of good memories. ;D

It looks like a baggy pair of pants to me. Why do y'all think it is a mylar balloon? I'm not saying it isn't but I'm curious about why you think it looks balloonish. Do they make balloons now that look like baggy pants?

~shrug~ I dunno what it is. I'm not even going to try to guess on this one... but I'm going to agree with Steve just because he's smart. I suppose skywalker and I should keep our eyes peeled for people walking around without pants just to be on the safe side though... ;D

My red twin towers also had black bands but on the bottom , this is the top so it appears at least. I have waited for this since Israel .. I hope there is more and more. Of course none of them could be the same thing. Even the reds ones I took pics of.
This object that I took pics of which came out of the end of a chemtrail was white on film in the sunlight but to my eyes it was pure bright shining silver.. I have them all posted . I even video taped it and on the film it was white like the dot above. but it was pure silver to the eyes. Maybe the sun makes it appear white. I would like to ask these witnesses about that.

I blew this photo up. Sorry not a pair a pants.. nor a twin tower. Seems to be some kind of exhaust coming down from a silver craft. It has to be some sort of power system. The white is not a solid object.

As a whitness I can tell you that the object in the sky over the reservoir on April 16th 2012 was no mylar balloon. I first noticed the object while cresting the damn heading west bound on 152. The object was hovering over the far western mountain range west of the west end boat launch area. As I traveled further west the object grew in size. This object was bigger than any hot air ballon let alone "Some kids lost mylar balloon". Also, this object while hovering would rotate from a 12:00 position to a 6:00 position then back to a 12:00. It was not a blowing or drifting motion, but rather one of calculation and purpose. Scott-

What do you think the thing was, colecash? If you were actually there to see it you should have a better understanding of it than people who are only able to look at photos and videos.

I don't know what it was. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen though. I showed the video to a friend of mine who is a retired engineer at Lockheed Martin and he too has no idea what it is. He did say that it looks like nothing he's ever seen in development nor is it like anything ever prototyped.

I've lived in Los Banos since 1992. And I can tell you there is definitely something strange in the skys. A couple years ago while my niece and myself were getting ready to watch a meteor shower. It was summer and early since I know the shower usually starts later at night and it was dusk. As we lied down on a blanket and readied ourselves for pleasant show, we noticed something huge flying around. It would zig zag above us and seemed to leave a glowing trail as it would blink on and off a blueish light. It reminded me of a shooting star, except this was huge. To compare it to something it looked like the moon shooting around not a meteor. It zig saved over us and got close to the point we screamed and got under the blanket. I called my sister who lived in madera, and was telling her what we were seeing. That's when we got this strange interference in the phone. She heard it as well. Then the strange ball was still. And everything went quiet, no birds, no crickets nothing.The crickets were chirping as they normally do on a nice summer night before it all started too.Then we got a strange buzzing feel and sound and that's when we ran for the house. I wish I took a picture but we were shocked and scared. There's so much more to this land cause that's not my only sighting or experience and I feel it won't be my last.
