I lived on the beach in Carpinteria at the time of the sighting. The reason I am writing to you is that I have never heard of the type of sighting that I had.

I was in the back yard with a friend watching the stars when I saw something out of my peripheral vision.  I turned to see a rose colored rectangle shaped fog or cloud comming towards us.  We stood completely still.  There was no sound, it stopped right above our heads and stayed there for 20 seconds or so.  The object was not visible to us, just a fog, the only thing I can relate to would be what Star Trek called cloaking.   The fog object was rectangle in shape, rose pink in color.  
We watched it as it went over the ocean towards the Channel Islands which are about 20 miles from my home.  The craft flew over the ocean toward the islands and disappeared within 10 seconds. Have you ever heard of a sighting like this?  
I have listened to Art Bell since he hosted Dreamland and never heard any discription of a sighting like mine.  I know when the object was above us that they saw us and were observing us.  I don't know how far above our heads it was, but if I took a guess it would be 75 to 100 feet.  
I am sorry I didn't report it before. I only reported it now because the sighting was so out of the ordinary. 
Thankyou Mr Davenport for all you reporting on Coast.  If I see anything again I will write to you pronto.
