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.

UFO sighted over downtown Bakersfield? - By N.L. Belardes

Maybe tonight we'll see the Bakerfield lights. You know, kind of like the Phoenix Lights, only better...

What's strange to me is I just submitted a memoir and somewhat humorous piece to The Nervous Breakdown website. It hasn't been posted yet, though the title is "The Mexican cowboy burial grounds, Bakersfield aliens, crashed spaceships and the giant Haus burger".

The Nervous Breakdown enjoys long titles and currently only runs creative non-fiction pieces. You should check them out. Brad Listi started the site. He's an amazing guy, wrote a decent book Attention. Deficit. Disorder. and will be featured in my review of the Noveltown mixer.

This morning I received an interesting email from Bryan Tebow. He was in downtown Bakersfield and took a photo of an object that he claims flew above the Chester and Truxton area.

He first wrote:

Hey I saw these flying over Bakersfield, took some pictures with my
phone. Wonder if anyone else sighted them.


Right away I was skeptical. I mean, come on, sure I have been researching even Ronald Regan seeing a UFO over Bakersfield. But I don't actually believe... so I sorta just joked around:

That's a flyin' ranch style dorito... they're light and airy.


I asked him for more info. He finally wrote back about being on top of the Washington Mutual building after someone in his office spotted the UFO:

Around 9ish this morning downtown saw this black triangle thing, a few
off us went to the roof to check it out. Don't know how big it was 20
feet in length maybe, at least few hundred feet up , heading SE ish.

I should of took video but by the time it dawned on me to take
pictures, it was way to small for video.


What do you think?
