Man Claims to Have Seen Large UFO Abduct Deer

Date of Sighting: May 1, 2004
Time of Sighting: Around 3 PM
Date Reported: May 16, 2005
Location: Lawndale, California (Southern California about 20 Miles Northwest of Long Beach)
Latitude:  33.88765 Degrees North

Description: This report is suspect because the witness supplied virtually no details.  He said that a saw a big UFO in the mountains taking a deer.  It appears that the man does not write very good English so this could be part of the reason for his brief report.

Investigator's Notes: I cannot reach the witness via email as he provided a bad or expired email address.  I left a message on his voice-mail, but have not yet received a response.  Without more information this sighting cannot be investigated.  Given the information provided below I consider this case to be hoax.
