I live in Tehama County, CA my children and I ovothe years have had several I counters with UGOs. This area seems to be a hot bed for them. But, we watch the night skies enjoying the beauty of the galaxy.
They usually move silently in our skies, however, when you get close enough to them. They have a hum. It is from their engine or whatever is propelling them.
If ever you manage to capture a photograph or if you have any further encounters, we would love to hear about it here 🙂
You did a great job! This post sound really great.

I am amazed by the arguments you provided in addition to the manner of your post.
I like when articles are both informative and interesting, when even dull facts are presented in an interactive manner.
Well, it’s definitely about your post.
