LOS ANGELES — A California man on Wednesday said he saw a judge “changing shape” in West Los Angeles.

The man, whose name was omitted in the report, says he was attending a court proceeding for a traffic violation when he observed the judge turn into “a reptile”.

“I was standing about 10 to 15 feet from the Judge,” he explained.”He momentarily changed shape into a reptilian, then changed back into a human form.”

The alleged event, which the man claims to have taken about 5 to 10 seconds, was reportedly not noticed by the other 15 people present in the court room, including officers and reporters.

The Los Angeles resident also maintains that his case was rescheduled.

“The next time I was to go in front of that judge, she recused herself and would not see me again,” he added to the report, submitted to MUFON. “The judge did not want to speak to me after this, but had the bailiff tell me to return at the next scheduled court date. I never saw the judge again in my return visits to the court.”

The judge, he said, was dressed in a black robe and her face was the only body part he noticed to have changed shape.

“I did not see her hands at the event as they were on the desk and were blocked by the podium where I stood. No words were spoken during the shape change.”

The man says he is sure about what he saw and that he had only told two people about the incident.

“I saw what I saw. I will never forget it,” he said.
