UFO again appears over Bakersfield? - By N.L. Belardes
OK, so it might not be an actual Dorito as I thought in this first sighting last week over downtown Bakersfield. Maybe it's an inflated replica of a Rancherito sent by chip makers to manipulate the minds of the masses.
I can hear Mark Tracy from ProSoft Technology talking in the phone video. He's a manager there and a pilot from Tehachapi. I don't know if that lends any credibility to the discussion you can hear...
From the sounds on the video, several workers from ProSoft went to the roof of the Washington Mutual building for a closer look... maybe hoping the strange ship would drop free bags of goodies.
Here's the email I received from Bryan Tebow of Bakersfield:
Ok man, this is just creepy. It happened again around 8:19 this
morning over the Padre. This time I got it on video, not great but I
am 100% sure it's not a bird or a Dorito chip.

Someone obviously threw a ninja star from the top of a building close by.

I posted on myspace that I don't believe in UFO's.

What's not to believe in? UFO is a pretty standard protocol for unidentified flying object, which is often classified military vehicles. No alien heebeejeebee voodoo
I think MC took me too literally. Let me rephrase that I don't believe space aliens are visiting Earth in inflatable Dorito spacecraft.
I definitely think it's a UFO and it's looking to pick up it's master, Ed Jagels. He was here on a very important mission, to screw up the Bakersfield judicial system. It's part of a greater mission, to take over the universe. bwahahahahahaha.
It's a giant weather kite they're testing in Bakersfield's "beautiful air".
Of course it's aliens. This town is full of them.
What better place to find people to anally probe than Bakersfield?
Hmmm ... looks a lot like a large black kite.
I just hope Bryan Doesn't get abducted by the dorito-nija aliens because I have grown rather fond of him.
OK I am CRACKING UP at your tag lines for this one, N.L..... ALF??? hahaha E.T.? Bigfoot? Lochness Monster? Richard Dreyfus?
We all know they all exist. Except for Richard Dreyfus. He's in the same category as the ChupaCabras.
OMG, the aliens are returning Milton "Spartacus" Miller to restore the Padre back to its wacky former glory.
It could only happen there, really.

Comments from Bakersfield.com:
rwillis: Somebody must have alerted the aliens that The Padre's missle defence system was gone.
possummama: I think it looks like a large piece of roofing paper that may have blown off a construction site and got caught in a circular rotation of air. It's unusual, for sure. But,... it's really hard to tell if the object is stationary (hovering) or if it's blowing towards the camera, at the same altitude. The perspective is hard to identify. Cool vid, none-the-less.
bonuschris: Looks like a Hefty bag caught in a thermal.
shatner from myspace: i dont know wtf it is but hey as long as it doesnt mess with me playing music im down with it

It's Lord Zeeplok from the Glahdbhag region of Payperorplastik.
I tried to tell the City that Spartacus Miller wasn't crazy, and now the first stages of the invasion have begun Robb!
Could it be a hoax?
Tom W a blogger from Bakersfield.com is on to something. He includes a link to high flying robo flyers and the following text:
ACTIVITY 1: BUILD AND RACE A LIGHTER-THAN-AIR VEHICLE
Your LTAV device must be powered only by a combination of a rubber band and propeller. Use a three-cubic-foot kitchen trash bag for the LTAV envelope. The envelope must have a filler valve to inflate with air from a hair dryer (use a funnel) during practices and helium for the actual competition. (You can't use the air from your lungs to inflate the envelope because of the moisture.)
The vehicle must have an adjustable rudder, and must fly freely and unassisted. You may adapt the course to any facility.
Materials:
plastic straw
tape
scissors
string
funnel
hair dryer
large rubber band
.5mm plastic kitchen trash bag (3 cu. ft.)
rubber-band-powered balsa wood airplane kit ("Guillow's Jet Stream," found at hobby stores, is a good one)
index card (for the rudder)
helium tank (party balloon filler)
Let the invasion begin.
I take back my last post on the helium portion. Helium will provide 0.9 ounces of lift / cubic foot. So that would give a total of 2.71 ounces. Should be enough the lift the "works" of the LTAV. Good on PBS. (Hot air still doesn't add up)
Most likely it is a stealth bomber from Edwards just doing some practice runs.
It's gotta be Freddy Falcon looking for a Condor nest to feed on.
I'll vote for military aircraft.
But you never know. Without confessing anything I may have been known to launch a couple of large leaf bags filled with helium.
But my all time favorite was a laundry bag, small loop about 8 in in diameter taped at the bottom, a metal spray can cap suspended below on three pieces of wire.
Wait for a cool night.
Hold top of bag up, add rubbing alcohol to cap and light. Away flies the coolest self illuminated hot air balloon.
Not that I ever did that.
I saw it too! At about 8:30 AM it was several blocks South of the Padre at about 1,000 - 1,500 ft. Didn't make a sound and just sort of "floated" about. Honestly, it didn't look like a kite and it was far removed from any building.
WEIRD!
I saw it too and it was NOT (repeat NOT)a trash bag. The angles were far too angular and at the distance I saw it a trash bag would have looked like a small speck. It didn't look like a small black speck it looked BIG
it looks like the tip of gods fat cock flying down.
Something seems to be going on in Bakersfield. I found this Googling "Bakersfield UFO"
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread280174/pg1
Sounds like the same thing.
You people are cuckoo..
UFOs (with martians and crap) are as fake as Pamela Anderson's blouse clowns.
I can identify it!! That was a trash bag floating in the air. Remember, Bakersfield did get voted the No. 3 most polluted air in the U.S.
Woohoo!!
:P
I never believed in UFOS either, until I saw 2 a few months back, over Porterville Highway.
THIS UFO, however, is probably just a black plastic grocery bag that got caught in an updraft outside the Wildcat...
In any case, it seems like a good opportunity to post about a story I was told recently.
A few weeks back I met a young man named Esteban, who'd recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a degree in electrical engineering. We happened on the topic of the "paranormal", and he told me he'd only witnessed one thing in his life he couldn't explain...
According to Estaban, during the summer of 2001, he witnessed a UFO late at night,while taking a friend home. He said he was dropping his friend off south of town on Old River, when they saw what appeared to be a "huge, bright flare" dropping very quickly out of the sky, from high altitude. It appeared to drop down next to Old River, about a mile away, so they drove down to investigate. When they approached the area where the light descended, the only thing they found was an empty car, still coasting down the side of the road, until it eventually collided with a fencepost. They apparently could find no trace of the UFO, or the cars' driver....
Estaban seemed like a pretty straight shooter, but someone let me know if he pulled that off an episode of the X Files or something....

It's way off ... it's passengers are still stuck in the Mint at 8 in the morning. Duh.
I saw the exact same thing in the western sky in Lubbock Texas in June of this year. Very strange and drifted slowly away.
My family and I saw something strange in the sky Friday night (03-07-08). It was about 9pm and we were returning from dinner. After heading West on Stockdale Hwy, we turned right onto Renfro Road heading home. We immediately noticed a bright light in the sky approximately 200 feet above Renfro Rd just South of Brimhall. We pulled over, turned off the engine and watched it for 5-10 minutes. It looked just like a campfire in the air, with what appeared to be a lightly visible circular shape above it (like a balloon) about the same size as the fire. It never made any noise and seemed to drift slowly from North to South occasionally rocking back and forth. The light eventually faded out near Stockdale Hwy and we never saw it again. I doubt it was anything unexplainable, but we'd be very curious to know just what the heck it was. Anyone else see it, or know anything about it? posted by RogerTTaayylloorr on Mar 9, 2008 at 11:53 AM on Bakersfield.com http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/Spot/19976#comments
