saw two unidentified lights in the sky,
pulled over to the side o f the r oad and exited the vehicle to investigate .
-
described the lights as "dash" shaped and dul l red in color t o t he
naked eye . The l ights moved along the ridgeline of the mountains t o his
west . -
was equipped with Night Optical Devices (NODs) and observed the
lights through said optics as well . -
relayed that, despite being "dash­
shaped" to the naked eye, the lights appeared "orb- like" or circular t hr ough
the NODs, with the characteristic "NOD halo" around them, which is typical
when l ooking at a l i ght source through NODs . -
stated that he is very
fami liar with using NODs, as he has been using them for 25+ years and has
many hours of experience . -

unidentified l i ght appear approximately 600 meters (esti mated) t o the east
of their positi on and appeared t o be approximately 500 feet above their

approximately 400 meters away . A second unidentified l i ght appeared and
moved t oward, and then stopped in proximity of, t he first . The second l ight
appeared t o be approximate ly 6 feet off the ground .
As

approximately 100 meters behind them . Although -
could not di rectl y see

entered their vehicle and drove up t o t he next
i ntersecti on in attempt to get a better view of t he unidentified l ights to

returned to their ori ginal position, but were unable t o re- acquir e
the unidentifi ed lights .
walked 10- 20 meters away from the vehicle to
l ook around the area ; -
remained near the vehicle.
At t hi s t i me , -
adjusted t he filter on hi s NODs t o l ook at hi s watch,
which displ ayed approximately 1 : 00am (estimated based on memory) . -

watch was a
Men's Aut omatic Analog Watch . -
wal ked back
t o t he vehi cle t o check hi s phone , which displayed 12 : 40am. -
noted the
discrepancy , compared the time displ ayed on hi s watch to the time displ ayed
o n his phone and observed that the t ime o n his watch was 25 minutes ahead of
the time on his phone and the vehicl e ' s digital c l ock . -
rel ayed t he
discrepancy t o ■■■■■, whose digital watch displayed the same t ime as the
phones and vehi cle c l ock .
-
stated that he had owned t hat watch for approximately 5 years , and i t
had never been off by more than 60- 90 seconds . -
had last checked the
t ime o n his watch at approximately 10 : 00pm, and i t was accurate at that
t ime . -
stated that h i s watch was the onl y mechanical/analog/non- digital
clock in t he vi cinity at that time and it was the o nly clock that displ ayed
a different time . -
di d not adjust hi s wat ch or reset t he time for 24
hours to see i f it continued to malfunction ; the wat ch conti nued t o keep
