Multiple witnesses in Fresno, CA, reported a black, boomerang-shaped UFO with red lights twice flew over their neighborhood under 150 feet about 7:30 p.m. on February 24, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54312 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The reporting witness was outside in his backyard when he looked to the northwest and saw "three red lights moving in unison" toward him accompanied by a "low roaring sound."
"The way the lights appeared was a different configuration than I have ever seen on an airplane," the witness stated.
He quickly moved inside to alert his girlfriend to come outside.
"The lights flew over my neighbor's house, two houses west of us. And as it passed three streets south of us a few more red lights suddenly turned on. We watched a row of red lights drift in a southwest direction for a couple of minutes before I couldn't see them anymore, yet I could still hear the roar."
The size of the object was large.
"The light formation was half the width of the neighborhood block."
The witness also alerted his mother to come outside and look at the object.
"Less than five minutes later I walked back outside and heard the roaring sound again, louder. I looked up and flying directly over me, coming from the east, I clearly saw a dark V-shape with four red lights underneath each side of it forming a V. The same red lights I saw before."
The object was flying low.
"There are 50-foot palm trees in the front yard and the object was at least 100-150 feet from the ground. It sharply turned south when it was two houses west of me and followed the same path I saw the first time."
The witness described the object.
"As it flew away I noticed that the object appeared completely flat with nothing visible besides the red lights."
The witness believes there were dozens of other people who may have seen the object.
"Across the street from me is Fresno High School and the outdoor lights that illuminate the track/field were on since dozens of people were exercising out there. I was shocked that I clearly saw a dark V-shape against the night sky and it moved quite slow. If I had a bike I could have kept up with its speed. I lost sight of it after a couple minutes. I even ran out into the front street with my mother to get a better look. It wasn't until then that I realized that the row of lights I saw fly away the first time formed a V-pattern too. I was stunned. By the time I realized I should chase after it in my car, it was gone. I was unable to get any pictures with my phone."
The witness did provide an illustration.
We reported on another Fresno UFO sighting that occurred an hour earlier on February 24 - at 6:30 p.m. in:California witness photographs disc UFO hovering over Fresno. Case 54277 may be a hoax, but California MUFON is investigating and we will update readers soon with case details on both reports soon.
Recent California UFO coverage includes several cases where witnesses were reporting the military chasing an unknown object. See the round-up story published February 21, 2014: Two more California witnesses report military chasing UFOs.

I too live in Fresno. I can't recall if I saw that very same thing on Feb. 24th, 2014. However, I am beyond convinced that I've seen that very same aircraft on three seperate occasions(dates). Each time it was in the late evening between 8-9:45 and it always was going the same direction, southwest. I vividly recall all of the following - the loud roaring sound it made (much like a fighter jet makes), the abnormally low altitude it flew, the very slow speed it flew, the enormous size of the v-shaped craft, and the three lights it illuminated like no other aircraft I've seen. Of the three times I saw this thing, twice I had someone witness it with me.
