Object seen. seemed oval with differen't color narrow windows on the edge we could see.  Shut off pick up engin, rolled window down and turned out lights. object was just above trees that were less than 100' tall.  No sound could be heard. watched the object for about 5 min. and it then started to move to the east and after a short distance, it was not visible any more. estimated it was approxamatly 50' above the trees. this happened when dark with moon light in the year 1967 approxamatly. 
viewed by civil engineer and engineering tech. Engineering tech. had been in the U.S. Airforce SAC. and had seen film on unidetified objets by SAC. as part of his training in 1957. No other traffic was using this low standard road, so they were cought off guard totaly. 
Location can be verfied by this writer, as he is the Engineering tech. Writing this information. 
I can say that we were so spooked that we drove over a hundard miles around the main highway to get back to Ukiah, instead of going back over "yellow Jacket Ridge".
