Full Report Text:
Light in the sky
I was riding my bike up the hill to the university UCSC. I stopped to take a rest in the grass and was watching the lights over the bay and noticed a bright white light moving in my direction. The light continued towards me it was right over me and at that point I noticed that it was a very large black craft.
There was no noise no sound of any kind was huge and seamed to be headed towards Moffet field / NASA. I have been wanting to report this for years.
