The North County Times newspaper has reported a UFO incident which occurred near Camp Pendleton on Tuesday, November 27. The article, rare for many news outlets, gleaned their information from a high school football coach. The coach is seeking more information on the sighting, and welcomes any input from anyone who might have witnessed the event.

Coach Tony Paopao, along with his wife, was driving south on Interstate 5 at about 10:45 PM, when they saw a large, bright object which passed over their vehicle, and hovered momentarily. It then headed in the direction of Camp Pendleton. It was quickly out of sight.

Coach Paopao made this statement about his sighting: “It was about 100 yards up. It was too low to be a plane and it was too fast and too quiet to be a helicopter.”

The sighting was not exclusive to Paopao and his wife. They both stated that cars all along the highway were slowing down to take a look at the unusual object. Sgt. Paul Robbins, communications officer with Camp Pendleton, stated that there was no vehicle operating on the base that matched the description given by the eyewitnesses.
