Dear UFO Magazine,

Thank you for providing a magazine that is thought-provoking and informative. I became a subscriber several months ago, and I'd like to tell you why I read UFO Magazine. (and to report on some strange things that have been happening this past year!)

My whole life, I've had a single, very detailed memory of being in a UFO when I was 7, but for some reason (fear?) I really never wanted to hear about UFOs, or deal with the topic until lately.

Then about a year ago, on a couple of nights at my home in the Calabasas hills, I was awoken by some very bizarre strings of beeps and tones outside of my window that remain unexplained. This peaked my interest, and since then, I feel like I've had to start being more observant.

Since then, my older son has admitted sightings of silver balls (orbs?), and then last November, my husband, my younger son, his friend, and I saw a large triangle from our deck as we were eating dinner. It was huge, silent, and had strobing red lights around the front V of it. We watched it fly over the San Fernando Valley in a northernly direction. Apparently, we weren't alone in our sighting.

The craft that the four of us saw last Nov 14th, 2008 was also reported by a lot of other people up and down the state who wrote long detailed accounts. There was nothing on the news in LA, which surprised me, but there were stories done in Sacramento and San Francisco:

We saw the triangle in LA on Nov 14 2008. If you're interested, here is a link to just some of the reports including a Long Beach woman who viewed it through hi-powered binoculars, and drew some amazing pictures: (second link)

Strangely, there was the EXACT same triangle videotaped one year earlier, almost to the day, by Diana Blackburn on Nov 13 2007 near Bakersfield;

My older son is the one who has seen the orbs. Yesterday, he saw them again at about 11:00 am just outside our deck, which is why today, I'm again searching the net to see if anyone else saw them. He said they started as two, then became an explosion of about 20 before disappearing.

The other 2 times he saw them near the ocean while working for the State Parks Dept. in Malibu.

I am a teacher with the Las Virgenes Unified School District, and I'm pretty sure none of us is crazy!!

Sincerely,
Gina Bryant
