This is the latest in what must now be considered serial sightings of this prehistoric monster.

A crowd of sightseers got their fill of sights when Godzilla stomped down Lombard Street. Among them was a fast-thinking, but edgy photographer, Sutter Aperter, who captured some amazing images (see links below) as Godzilla made his way to the panicked holiday shoppers. Mr. Aperter conceded during interviews that he happened to be "at the right place at the right time" (or maybe not). He did admit, reluctantly, that he was badly frightened and had to change after losing control of himself. He even managed to include his gorgeous wife in one of the images - undoubtedly a priceless souvenir now.

A local street person, Max Soberman, first caught sight of Godzilla as he waddled toward land after mutilating a sail boat not far from shore. Mr. Soberman has since given up the brew and is now writing a book about his very close encounter with Godzilla. Apparently, he narrowly missed being squashed by one of Godzilla's feet as he stood awestruck and paralyzed, observing Godzilla's every move. Mr. Soberman theorizes that Godzilla may come back to setup home base at Alcatraz.

Authorities responded to a flood of calls. Due to heavy holiday traffic jams, authorities arrived only after Godzilla disappeared into the bay just a quickly as he appeared. Witness accounts were recorded:  discussions with higher-ups will determine if official reports will be   filed.

It seems evident that California has more to worry about than earthquakes.  Now that Godzilla has terrorized Half Moon Bay and now San Francisco, the age old question remains - where in the world will Godzilla strike next? Only time (we hope lots of time) will tell.
