Description: USO sighting in Dana Point: I was doing a shoot at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point and was composing this shot as I saw some movement in the background shooting upward and decided to snap the picture. After some research I found that this area has had many sightings in and around this coast to Catalina Island. I use a Nikon d2x camera which is a professional 13.4 outfit. I will send it un-altered to you in original format. Notice part of the UFO is behind the cloud.

Additional Information Supplied by Witness: I always take a moment to compose pictures and saw a streak of colors start from the water's surface to where it is in the picture. It lasted maybe a second. I had been keeping my eye out over the water because there were vintage planes flying by at about eye level. I wanted to switch to a 400 mm lens to shoot them. In this shot I was shooting slightly west of due south.

Comments: I have written to obtain more information about the sighting and photo. The photo was taken with high quality digital camera (Nikon D2X with a maximum resolution of 12.4 Mega-Pixels). The objects were located in a southwesterly direction. The objects seem to be reflecting (or emitting) the primary colors. Apparently the photographer saw the objects ascending. It is not known if he saw the objects coming out of the water. (He used the USO acronym in his email heading.) Another sighting occurred in Dana Point, California on May 26, 2008.
