In 1976, I worked for the San Leandro Sheriff's Department.  My husband (now ex) was a diesel truck mechanic.  We left Castro Valley, California, to go to Lake Don Pedro to see Carmen and Wiley Coss, a secretary that had retired the same year this happened. Carmen and Wiley had built a new house (double story) with a screened in balcony. Carmen slept outside that night.  Gary and I left Carmen and Wiley's around 9:00 PM, it was pitch dark, we took the wrong road, driving a F-250 Ford 4x4.  We had to turn around.  By the time we run out of gas, we were in between trees so big, just outside of a town called Twain Hart, where we were supposed to be.  We left the truck by the side of the road and started walking. 

I was 23 yrs old, just pregnant, but not showing.  I was wearing shorts, halter top, long hair.  I was in fit shape.  We got about one mile and found a sub station sheriff's building.  There was one guy, he said he was too busy to help us. I didn't have my ID with me.  We left walking into town late at night and had to go further to get gas.  The gas station had bars on the windows, he gave us a bucket, the next thing I heard was my husband grumbling, I was leaning on his shoulder walking. I asked him what happened.  He said that if those guys in that car leaving got out to hurt us.  I asked him what did they want, he said, "You".

Oh...he said to them if they got out he would throw the bucket of gas on them and set them on fire, they screamed away, we did not see the car again.  They looked menacing. We got about one mile from the truck and here comes the Sheriff, he gets out of his car, I was mad at him, but only looks.  He came up behind me and put handcuffs on me, and put me in the car, he put my husband in front (with the bucket of gas).  I looked at the officer in the mirror.  I told him that I worked with 7 deputies, all men, that when I get back, you are in trouble. 

We got to the truck, he turned me loose, grabbed my arms and asked me to forgive him, he believed me. We poured the gas into the truck, I told my husband to hold some of the gas for the carburetor, to prime it.  He was so tired, he poured it all in.  After all of that, we were back to square one. We jumped into the truck and figured we would get help in the morning.  

Around 2:00 AM I was leaning on my husband's shoulder sleeping, when he poked me to wake up and look at something up in the sky.  It was so quiet, no bird, no wind no forest noise.  It was so dark, you couldn't see very far up the road.  We saw an oblong beautiful lighted disk, it was flying so fast, I asked my husband it it was governmental, listen, it is so quiet, no noise, it stopped dead! I said Gary, I don't think they have any thing like that, just then, it comes toward us, and slides over us and stops. it was so bright, if you looked directly at it, it was blinding, but if you looked at the side toward the trees, which we could not see the end of the machine, it was huge.  I, Colleen, being pregnant and scared, got under the glove compartment and said over and over in my mind (do not come here to this truck and take me, I will die, you will face my maker, you will face God and Jesus, over and over. I was so scared I did not look up to see my husband until I heard the beloved sound of Jake brakes of a logging truck at 4:00 AM.  

The trucker came up along our truck and asked us if we were alright, he had a double barrel shot gun, pointed it and boom boom boom over and over, I thought or said, what are you going to do now you evil ship. it slid discretely over the trees and we did not see it go into the air, I think the shot gun did something to it. We went back the next day out to Carmen and Wiley's and she in her sixties came running out saying to me, Colleen you won't imagine what we seen last night, she described the ship moving across the sky, stop and go down, we had a lot to talk about.

When we went back to Castro Valley, my husband started drinking alcohol, about a fifth a day, he got moody, and hurt me badly, I knew something happened that night out there. Now in 2005, my ex husband is now around 98 lbs, sick, has cancer, if you take a flashlight over his face in the same position of the shadow, where the light hits, is the cancer, we do talk about this, although, I have not lived in California now since 1998.

I just retired being a school bus driver, in which I could not divulge this information having such a job, but now can tell anyone who wants to know.

Carmen and Wiley are dead now.  Gary is very sick but still alive, but can tell you the same.  My husband Gary tried to kill me - he strangled me.  I asked God for his forgiveness, because I knew he was not right in his mind.  Every night I look at the stars, I don't hope anyone will have to go through that what we did.  I hope that this can help, I have never seen any light like it since, maybe ten neon lights together. It was more like headlights of new cars, very bright, condensed maybe.
