Do UFOs appear over El Cajon, California, every Fourth of July? Some witnesses are saying "yes." Two reports of this year's lights are described by witnesses from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
This 2005
report from the National UFO Reporting Center claims that witnesses then were seeing them for the third year in a row.
One witness
posted a photograph of the lights at the Flickr.com web site as they formed a triangle. The only description here was, "Red lights in the sky of La Mesa/El Cajon, CA during the evening of July 4, 2009. I am unsure what these lights were. I think there were around 4-5 red lights. "
One comment left at the web page from TinaM62: "I saw those two but I couldnt get a clear picture! There were four redlights and there was a group of at least 25 people watching them move across the sky!"
El Cajon is a city in San Diego County, population 94,869. The Spanish translation of El Cajon is "the drawer," as the town is surrounded by mountains as a nestled valley. The town holds the nickname of "The Big Box."
Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON investigates and reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page.
