Full Description & Details
There were five of us at the top of a mountain in Montecito, Ca.; we had a view of the entire coastline. A brief fireworks show was happening somewhere over Carpinteria, Ca. Thirty seconds after the fireworks ended, a extremely bright light appeared over the coast. A friend pointed out this bright, star like figure, asking if it was a plane or if it was moving. It was too bright to focus on, but all five of us stared right at it. Thirty to sixty seconds later, this bright light just vannished. It was as if a light bulb just turned off. It was a very clear night, and the moon was unusally bright. We all could see the object perfectly, it was just too bright to focus on. Ten-fifteen minutes later three military helicopters flew right by us. I have never been this close to such powerfull helicopters. Their strength pounded in our ears and chests as the flew directly infront of us. They undoubtibly saw all of us with our hands in the air, ontop of the mountain they were flying next to. All three quickly flew down for a landing extremely close to the spot of the sighting. we stared at the helicopters until we couldn't see them amongst the city. This does not seem to be a coincidence. Somebody sent those helicopters to the sighting; there is no need for three military helicopters in Summerland or Carpenteria.
Can sighting
be explained as any conventional man-made or natural
object?
It was too close to us to be a star. It was not moving. It was directly over the coastline. Nothing that close could be that bright.
Personal Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting
I believed aliens may exists somewhere, but I did not believe they had come to earth. I never believed they would be able to come here. I had never researched UFO before the sighting.
