The triangular-shaped vessel reportedly crashed on a mountainside in Sanger, California (near Fresno) on the night of August 21, 2010.... A triangular-shaped ship reportedly crashed on a mountainside in Sanger, California (near Fresno) the night of August 21, 2010.

The family who watched the "hard landing" reported the incident to the director of the state section of the California Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), Jeffrey Gonzalez. According to Gonzalez, while talking on the phone, he heard a woman in the background say:

"He's trying to take off, he's trying to get up!"

 Witnesses claim that the downed ship rose to 30-40 feet (0.9-1.2 m), trying to take off again, but without success. The crash site is private and inaccessible from public roads, which prevented MUFON investigators from reaching this place. but unmarked cars allegedly managed to flood the scene shortly after the incident. 

From a public point of view, Gonzalez reported that he saw something similar to the light from arc welding coming from the crash site in the evening, which led him to believe that people who arrived in unmarked cars were either trying to repair the ship or dismantle it. 

The next morning, Gonzalez was able to see the burn marks on the ground, and surprisingly, the ship was still there. He allegedly has video footage from the crash site and the ship "in the form of a stingray", as he described it, and he will make this video available after it is processed. 

According to Gonzalez, the videos are transmitted to his computer, but it takes longer than usual because the camera he used does not have a digital output. Witnesses have called Gonzalez in the past, and they obviously see frequent UFO activity in their area. (A video posted on YouTube (no link) shows a triangular-shaped ship flying over Sanger the day after this ship). 

Additional information on the above-mentioned intriguing case indicates that the main witness, "Justin", his wife and mother went outside to see something on the mountainside that resembled an object in the shape of a triangle sitting on the mountainside. He said that he had white lights in each corner and a bright light at the bottom in the center with several blue and red lights on the sides. He said it was definitely a triangle. 

After watching it for a few minutes, he said that the ship rose 30-40 feet (0.9-1.2 m) as it tried to take off, but failed, and the ship fell to the ground again. He tried to take off again, but to no avail, and the ship crashed again. I didn't try to take off anymore. He even said that it looks like the ship was damaged on one side. 

A few minutes later, three witnesses began to see cars - cars and trucks-arriving at the scene. These cars came from behind the mountain and from below. He said they just came out of nowhere. He didn't know if they were military or not. By this time it's already dark, and they can see the headlights of a car on a hill and, as he says, helicopters are flying overhead... but he wasn't sure. 

By the time Gonzalez arrived, he could only see 3 lights on the hill. 

At about 23: 00, he began taking video of other cars approaching the place, and a couple of times captured very bright blue flashes of light coming from this place. Gonzalez stayed in the area all night and claims that in the morning around 5: 45 he was able to see what seemed to be a bunch of pine trees and something like a house, and then he noticed what he thought was a gray or metal object lying right in front of this house. 

He said he tried to zoom in, but it was still too far away. It was difficult to determine the shape of the ship, but eventually it began to take the shape of a triangle or a sting in Gonzalez's eyes.

Summary: A triangle-shaped craft reportedly crash landed on a mountainside in Sanger, California (just outside Fresno) on the night of August 21 2010.… A triangle-shaped craft reportedly crash landed on a mountainside in Sanger, California (just outside Fresno) on the night of August 21 2010. A family who observed the “hard landing” reported the incident to California Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) state section director Jeffrey Gonzalez. According to Gonzalez, while taking the phone report, he heard a woman in the background say, “It’s trying to take off, It’s trying to lift!” The witnesses claim that the downed craft ascended 30 to 40 feet trying to take off again, but was unsuccessful. The crash site is private and inaccessible from public roads, which prevented MUFON investigators from reaching the area, but unmarked vehicles allegedly managed to swarm the scene shortly after the incident. From a public vantage point, Gonzalez reported seeing something resembling an arc welding light coming from the crash site during the evening, which led him to believe that the individuals who arrived in the unmarked vehicles were either attempting to repair the craft or dismantle it. The following morning, Gonzalez was able to see scorch marks on the ground, and surprisingly, the craft was still there. He supposedly has video footage of the crash site and the “stingray-shaped” craft, as he described it, and will make the video available after it has been processed. According to Gonzalez the videos are being transferred to his computer, but are taking longer than usual because the camera he used doesn’t have a digital output. The witnesses have called Gonzalez in the past, and they apparently see frequent UFO activity in their area. (A video posted on YouTube shows a triangle shaped craft flying over Sanger, the day after the craft). Additional information on the above intriguing case indicates that the main witness, “Justin” and his wife and mother had gone outside to see on the side of the mountain what appeared to be a triangle shaped object sitting on the side of the mountain. He said it had white lights on each corner and a bright light underneath in the center with some blue and red lights on the sides. He said the shape was definitely a triangle. After observing it for a couple of minutes, he said the craft lifted up about 30 to 40 feet as it was trying to take off but could not and the craft again fell to the ground. It attempted to lift off again with no luck and again the craft slammed back down. It did not try to take off anymore. He even said it looked like the craft was damaged on one side. After a few minutes went by, the 3 witnesses started to see vehicles—cars and trucks—arrive at the scene. These vehicles came from over the mountain and from below. He said they just came out of nowhere. He did not know if they were military or not. By this time it was dark and they see the vehicle’s headlights on the hill and what he says are helicopters flying overhead…but he wasn’t sure. By the time Gonzalez arrived he could only see 3 lights on the hill. At around 2300 he began to videotape other vehicles coming to the site, and on a couple of occasions captured very bright blue flashes of light coming from the area. Gonzalez stayed in the area all night and claims that in the morning around 5:45 he was able to see what appeared to be a bunch of pine-trees and what seemed to be a house, and then he noticed what looked to him to be a gray or metallic object lying right in front of that house. He said he tried to zoom up but it was still too far away. It was hard to tell the shape of the craft but it eventually it starting taking the shape of a triangle or sting ray in Gonzalez’s eyes.
