Humm. I gather that my expose article on Travis Walton in the Winter 1980, No. 5, issue of "UFO Update" has been summarily dismissed for being in that publication. I think it worthy of pointing out that my article was the first one--as far as I know--that detailed the case and suggested that Walton had not been truly abducted, but taken to be healed from his innocently stepping underneath the emissions from the UFO. Since at least 1998 Walton has taken that position, however.
He was sent a copy of that article months before it was published. I did not get a reply. I have no ill will toward him.

I've had a similar experience. What I saw was not a saucer and did not behave like the ones in the reports. But it was definitely technological and definitely (based on the technology supposedly around at the time) not a conventional man-made craft.

I had no idea that later, on a dark mountain top, I would be confronted by the real thing.
It didn't appear or behave like anything I had read back then.
I wonder how many of these stories are contrived for purposes of infotainment, to bore everyone to death?
Very few people I have met in person who have seen one have described saucers.
Thanks for coming back with your shared experience. I couldn't say what shape the 'thingy' I saw, it was dark and appeared as a blue light, but like you also said it was technological and not from here.
My first sighting in Orange County, California, was of a classic shape reminiscent of the Meier Beamship which is the shape Bob Lazar claims he saw at Area 51. What was burned into my memory and made my arms tremble is that I saw it with binoculars and it was not distant, it was in front of a mountain range and maybe a few hundred feet in the air where it seemed to be riding an invisible ocean behaving as on gentle waves. Every other sighting that I had was magnificent but that first one, oh boy!
I didn't say it wasn't from here. I don't know where it was from but it was not conventional technology.

Strangers next to us had binoculars, we didn't. That guy was so freaked by what we were looking at he and his entourage split after we talked with them about it. I only had the one actual sighting. The one I saw was also below the valley ridge line, beginning closer to our position but ending up bisecting the valley flying straight and level, impossibly fast and totally silent. Prettiest blue, not super bright just... neon blue.
Edit: You said Orange County, this was SF Bay area, south bay, Santa Cruz ridge line, late 70's.

Isaac, just wanted to add to the well deserved respect for all of this work. It is amazing and much appreciated.
I have written down the missing Northern UFO News issues in your list - there being 7 (plus one another Barry Greenwood has).
I am sure I will have copies of the early ones that are missing from 1974 - 1976. Will try to figure out how to complete the set.
