A witness was hoisting a line of crab traps off Furlong Island with his dog aboard his 25-foot (7.5 m) boat. Leaning over the side, the dog began to bark furiously. 

The witness looked up and saw a huge triangular object hovering above him, completely silent. Then the witness was hit by a beam of white light, and he fell back on the sole of the cab. He grabbed a Rugger 10-22 rifle with a 100-round magazine and started firing at the bottom of the object. The witness was apparently able to turn off the lights. 

As he took the second clip, he saw a hatch open at the bottom of the object, and two people leaned over and shouted:

"Stop shooting at us, you idiot." 

He also heard a hissing sound, like air escaping from a flat tire. Then the object moved to the south. Then a helicopter appeared and hovered over the boat. The helicopter was a flat black color, silent, without any markings. As the helicopter hovered in the air, a flash of light was directed at the boat. 

The last time he saw it, the triangle was rising and disappearing to the south. The helicopter was last seen heading towards the Golden Gate Bridge.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Airplane / Helicopter

An aircraft heavier than air for flights in the atmosphere (and outer space (e.g. An orbital aircraft)), using the aerodynamic lift of a glider to keep itself in the air (when flying within the atmosphere) and the thrust of a power (propulsion) installation for maneuvering and compensating for the loss of total mechanical energy to drag. 



A rotorcraft in which the lift and thrust required for flight are created by one or more main rotors powered by an engine or several engines. They differ in maneuverability, the ability to hover and almost vertical takeoff.
