I was recently talking to a friend (whose name I won't reveal to keep their privacy) recently and the subject of UFOs came up. Turns out they had a sighting in Clovis on April 1st of 2009. I asked them to write something in their own words and this is what they sent to me.

I can understand why some may not believe my story when they see the date of this post, but I promise you, this entry is completely real.

The story begins with me and my boyfriend (at the time) spending our last day together. He picked me up around 19:35 so that we could drive around town and enjoy each others' presence. While we were driving North on Clovis Ave, between Dakota and Ashlan Ave, we spotted these strange flying objects (at 19:37) moving east. It took about 2 minutes for them to be right in front of our view from when we first spotted them. Eight to ten bright, and silent objects flying surprisingly fast, and rapidly flashing white lights (that changed colors to red, purple, blue, yellow, and green). They were in a 4-2-4 formation; 4 on top, 2 in the middle and 4 on the bottom. We immediately pulled over in the parking lot of the Clovis Recreation Center. We sat there for 7 minutes, staring in awe. We failed to have any type of media equipment suitable for capturing the moments that were happening. The objects then, 2 at a time, began to separate and flew faster than the rest (going towards the east hills/mountains). At that same time, we noticed an airplane flying in the sky. We could quickly tell, due to the red and green slow flashing lights and the noise it made. After, we drove towards the hills/mountains to try to catch up to them. We were not fast enough, but we did see them disappear.

I have no reason to doubt this person's account, I know them and trust their word completely. So the question has to be asked, what did they see? The multi-changing lights couldn't be a normal aircraft. Plus they noticed a conventional aircraft in the sky and had something to compare it to. It was definitely something that wasn't ordinary, but if it was of this planet or from another that isn't for me to say. Hopefully by posting this others that have seen the object will read this and they can add to the story.

I've never seen a UFO, and not for want of watching the sky. It's interesting that all these sightings seem to have been close to the airport... Something flying around, looking for a place to land? Good spot, airport, Nice and flat, no obstructions. I've got an open mind, and next time I drive down Clovis past the airport, I'll be watching!

me and my wife have seen many ufo here in fresno...its weird because its such a small city you wouldnt expect ufos and aliens to swing by. But i have a similar account almost like yours instead the ufos we saw were zip zags like lightings then shooting straight up in a vetical climb. We watched it for 10 minutes and it was cool and scary.

I believe this post my husband and I saw two up close one was bright white silver color larger than a plane then went brighter and headed North not towards San Francisco but like towards oregon Sac area started slow and then bam I put it on Mufon,then we saw one coming from the North we ran out front it was red had ble yellow and green lights started going over aiport and got lower and went solif bright red no other colors and went very slow and low once it got past the airport it took off fast and I mean fast towards the east the mountains towards kingscanyon and disappeared.That was also put on mufon then when I went to work my husband saw eight round disks around sunset and since we hace seen quite a lot in with the stars and made sure there was nothing on the computer such as ISS or anything.With the first that was so close there was no noise at all.They were both cigar shaped no wings no windows just fast and bright and the one that turned red never changed its colors once it went red.I called the Mufon man he has my number never came or called back what a shock that was.The bright one was between Dakota and ashlan but in Freno close to cedar and milbrook.The bnext one came from the north was in the area of shaw and I feel it went past chestnut it went over like I say the airport.We believe something may come here because of the national guard maybe and maybe because of our mountains or Damns.
