The record

Witness observed a single round, classic saucer-shaped craft with a cupola on top passing overhead at low altitude and slow speed. It appeared to be floating, moved from NW to SE, traveling from Rodeo Gulch Drive, over Soquel Drive, toward 41st Avenue, Monterey Bay, and in the direction of Monterey. The witness distinctly saw a three-curve opening on the bottom of the craft. No sound was heard. The witness was waiting for the bus after work. Auto traffic was present but no other witnesses were confirmed.

It almost looked like it was floating, but was definitely round, with cap on top, like many classic UFO photos. I saw very distinctly a three curve opening on the bottom of the UFO as it passed over me.
