Silver Craft with Tall Fin and Clamshell UFO - San Francisco, California
Report: 1813
April 29, 1972
In 1972 I lived at Franklin & Broadway st in San Francisco, California, USA. There had been a couple of old Victorian homes removed from the corner so I could see clearly across Franklin st, Westward. I was walking my dog and entered a church basketball court, there was a flat roofed 2 story building on the West side. I was standing about 5 ft from a basketball hoop, and looking up I saw something moving at the edge of the roof. Suddenly a silver colored craft with a very tall fin emerged about 20-25 ft, almost over my head. Then a second craft dropped beside it, apparently it was at the side of the first and it rocked side to side slightly. Shaped like a clam shell with a protruding rim, silent with a sort of orange, electric aura shimmering around the craft . I literally could have hit them with a rock if I had thought of it but I was rooted in place. I realized this was real and I was both elated and frightened not knowing what all of this meant to me and my very close proximity to both craft. They hovered for about 10 seconds then took off, climbing the side of a ten story building across Franklin St, snapping 90 degrees at the edge of the roof, flying across it and in a few seconds appeared a 2 stacked orange orbs. There had been many varied UAP sightings in SF during this time and I sighted several different types, including one that was transparent green and about 30-50 ft in diameter but this was an actual 4th level encounter and the only one I can certify to have been accurate & real.
