UFO Sighting in Eureka, CA – 1971
Experience: Back in 1971, my younger sister and I witnessed an extraordinary sighting of a UFO above the redwood trees.
Details:
– Time: 8:00 PM
– Location: Eureka, CA
Now at 70 years old, this memory remains vividly etched in my mind, as it does for my sister. I was 16 at the time, and she was just 13. We observed the UFO hovering over a redwood tree, appearing to study the area or perhaps even collecting samples. It was illuminated with lights, and it felt as though it sensed our presence before it abruptly flew off to the east at an incredible speed. Interestingly, we didn’t hear a single sound during the encounter.
I’m curious to know if anyone else witnessed this UFO around the same time and date. This is the first time I’ve shared this story.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fascinating to hear about UFO sightings, especially ones that have left such a lasting impression. The details you provided, like the time, location, and description of the craft, add to the intrigue. It’s not uncommon for others to have had similar experiences in the same area, especially given the rich history of UFO sightings in Northern California.
If anyone else has had a sighting in Eureka around that time, it would be great to hear their stories as well. Have you and your sister ever thought about reporting your experience to a UFO organization or sharing it in a local history group? It might be interesting to connect with others who might have witnessed something similar!
