On February 17, 2008 at 4pm a disk-shaped flying object was observed near Campus Drive by John Wayne Airport in
Santa Ana California. The object was about 50 feet in diameter and initially hovered approximately 50 to 150
feet above the ground. A distinct dome was visible on the top side of the object. After hovering motionless
for about 10 minutes near the Signature Flight Support building located on Campus Drive, the object began to move
northeast, parallel to Campus Drive, at a moderate speed. When the object neared Airport Drive, it increased
speed and executed a banked left turn. After completing the turn, the object briefly hovered again and then
suddenly moved extremely rapidly to the southwest, at least 300 mph. Within a few seconds, the object disappeared
from view. During the entire event, the object was completely silent. |
