UFO Lands in Santa Maria—Animals React, Compass Spins 1974
This UFO Sighting report occurred on October 15, 1974 in Ramona, CA at night.
Five eyewitnesses in Ramona, California, watched a mysterious round UFO as it maneuvers over the Santa Maria Valley. It lands on a hillside and then turns ruby red before becoming a brilliant white light.
As it passes over, horses act up and a dog tries to grab one witness by her sleeve back into the house. Another dog, chained, runs in and out of the doghouse repeatedly, and the chickens and goats are agitated as well. Radio and TV reception is disrupted, and a compass points to the object as it is moving.
The UFO hovers briefly, then shoots away, emitting a noise like something between a hum and a foghorn.
