They all come out, observe this thing for some period of time, and then they do what they're supposed to do. They picked up the phone. They called range control, which is like a command center that oversees all the various launch facilities. They reported it. They described the object. And then the controller at range control called around to the various other agencies on base.
They called the weather station. They called the tower of the flight line and everybody else to find out if we had anything in the air. And the results were negative. We had no aircraft. We had no weather balloons. There was nothing on radar. So this was they had no idea what this object was.
And at some point during that time frame, the object just slowly floated further onto the installation and they lost visual as it went over some hills. So it came onto the base. Absolutely no noise, no signs of propulsion. So this was like completely anomalous.
So after making those notifications, the controller notified the law enforcement desk and asked us if we knew anything about the object and requested that we respond and we send an armed patrol out. So that initiated my friends getting involved. And they drove out to the site. It's probably a 15 or 20 minute drive from our command center to that location. It's out located right on the coast.
My friends didn't see anything on the way out. They met with the contractors. They got the whole story. And they took sworn written statements from each of the three contractors describing what they saw. They returned back. They typed up a report. They put it in the blotter, which is a chronological record of everything that happens on the basis of police record.
And they made notifications through our chain of command. So they notified our commander, our operations officer, and on and on, including the wing command post. And it was up-channeled all the way to the top, as far as I know. And as they were telling me the story, I was copying all the paperwork, you know. And that's pretty much what happened that afternoon.
As far as I know, according to the documentation I have, there was nothing on radar. And I have that data is captured in the blotter and also in the witness statement I have. I have the witness statement From the individual that worked at range control that received the complaint and made all the notifications. So I have his written statement. So no radar tracks, no idea what it was.
And the object was at least 100 yards wide or whatever. Yeah.
It did. I mean, people were some people were were shocked. Some people were in disbelief. Other people were like me where I was. I was excited beyond like I couldn't believe it was really happening.
Yeah, I'm sure they did. I mean, these guys are probably engineers or something. With top secret clearances, they're working on the National Missile Defense Project at that time was the executive branch's top priority for the military. And we were doing launches from Vandenberg that I was involved in, like guarding the launches that were deemed the most important space launches in 25 years.
So this was taken extremely seriously. Yeah.
But I hadn't seen anything at Vandenberg up until that day in October. Yeah.
Yeah. It's actually not like publicly available anywhere. I've shared it with Congress and Arrow and the FBI.
Make sure people see it. Yeah, you can. Absolutely. I would like people, I want the public to be aware this is happening and it's real. So yeah.
Yeah. So we came on duty that evening and I, me and some of my friends were like, you know, in, in quite a state, like excited. So I was going out UFO hunting that night. So I went up to the armory. I got some NVGs. I got a thermal portable thermal imager, some binocs and me and my buddies went out hunting UFOs. So, um, I was out some period. We think this happened around midnight.
I had been out on the coast, you know, watching the skies for a while. And I had this moment of kind of clarity where I'm like, oh, my God, you know, I'm out here alone. And if this thing shows up, I don't know what's going to happen. So I got freaked out and I drove back to the command center. And I got there and I took off my gun belt and I was chilling out on the command center with my buddies.
And we were talking about all of it. And then a radio transmission came in from Space Launch Facility 4. And that's located on the opposite end of the base down on the south end. And that is our largest or was our largest launch pad on Vandenberg. That's where we put all the really big rockets up. And I believe that's where SpaceX launches from now.
So the transmission comes in something to the effect like be advised, we've got a weird light over the water to the west moving erratically. And my friend Brandon was the controller at the time. And, you know, he's like, all right, roger that. Be advised. You know, everybody be on the lookout. Keep an eye on it. Keep us updated. And I'm like, okay, I better roll site. You know, I grab my gear.
I start getting ready to go. And then more transmissions come in more frantic. And they're saying, hey, you know, this object appears to be getting closer. It's moving very strangely, not at all like an aircraft. It's getting larger and brighter. And then just all hell broke loose. And the radio transmissions get very, you know, frantic and garbled. And I'm hearing yelling.
They're saying, it's coming right at us. It's coming right for us. Oh, my God, it's right here. It's right on top of us. And by this point, I'm driving. You know, I'm code three, lights, sirens going. I'm on this windy road. It's usually like a 15, maybe 25 minute drive there. I probably got there in like less than 10 minutes.
