Reports Report 842u (Event 842-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Roger W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving my vehicle up a grade on a long curved road (CCW on "Melinda", between the 241 overpass and Rancho Trabuco) in Rancho Santa Margarita - so my information is roughly estimated a few hours after the sighting. My initial reaction was that the object was very close to me (like less than a mile away) - but the more I thought about it, I knew it must have been very far away. I am glad to see that my sighting is substantiated on this website, because it was starting to 'bug' me that nobody else seemed to see it. |
