On a warm Saturday evening in the summer of 2002,I was part of a small group of people from MUFON-Ventura/Santa Barbara Counties going on a skywatch. Our skywatch site was a small "turn-around" where Stunt Road joins Saddleback Road. It was warm and clear, but I didn't "see" anything in the skies that night.rnJust before 1 AM, I headed home. Alone, I headed east on Saddleback Road, a very twisty road, in my big 1985 Eldorado. I knew I had to keep my eyes on the road to stay safe. I had my seat belt on and my radio tuned to "Coast to Coast" with Art Bell.rnAfter 5 to 8 minutes of driving slowly on this road along the mountain crest, I looked to my right and saw a huge deer (maybe 5 feet high at the shoulders) running alongside my car on the passenger side. It was a male deer with a full rack of antlers; its body was light gray or beige in color. It was so close that I could see the texture of the fur. I clearly remember thinking about how much bigger it was than my car. The deer turned its head and looked at me through the windshield. I was awestruck at how beautiful it was and how big and beautiful its eyes were.
