Oval UFO and small 'creature' reported by California man

Examiner.com-- A California man reports seeing an oval-shaped UFO and a one to two-foot-tall creature on his property September 30, 2009, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The oval-shaped craft was seen about 3 p.m. after the man reported seeing a reflection of the object off of a camper shell window.

At 9:50 p.m., the man said he went outside to feed his cat and saw "something flashing colorful lights" just off his porch steps that was no bigger than a baseball.

The man took two steps toward the object and realized it was being held by "something" that stood no more than one or two feet tall.

Both the man and the "creature" were startled and moved away from each other.

The witness claims he heard the object hit the ground, but when he went back to the area to look for it, nothing was there.

CA. September 30, 2009 - Oval craft scared my cat / Strange blinking lights in my yard later that night. MUFON Case # 19797.

Around 3:00pm I was watching my cat sitting in the yard from inside my house, looking out a sliding glass door. He was looking out into a field and then looked straight up. His ears went flat and his eyes were big and he ducked down and quickly ran to a tree to climb but stopped halfway looking up all around.

At that moment a saw a reflection of a black oval (off of a camper shell window in the driveway) moving away to the left. I have tall trees all around the house but only the sky can be seen in the reflection.

I went and picked up the cat and he was trembling and shaking.

Later that night at exactly 9:50 I went outside to feed the cat, as I stepped out of the door I saw something flashing colorful lights just off the porch steps in the yard no bigger than a baseball. It was very dark and I took 2 steps towards it and noticed that it was being held by "something" about 1 to 2 feet tall.

I was startled and jumped back and at the same time the "thing" was startled too and dropped the flashy thing and ran away super fast. I looked where "it" dropped the flashy light thing cause it was right in front of my pumpkin patch. I heard it hit the ground and later believe it bent a pumpkin leaf stem. Nothing there. I was terrified by then and went inside to collect my self.
