What we saw was def a spacecraft. Round yet octagon. The red flashing lights went all around and a red light triangle in center.

There’s so much to say what we witnessed. I’m still taking it in. What we saw with our naked eye looks different than my iPhone 13 camera and even my friends iPhone 16. They were stationed day after day. Then they moved down close. Like a Ferris wheel in a way. Looking at it from a side angle.

Oval UFO over the 14 freeway that floated above the freeway

On August the 6th at around 9:15/9:30pm on the 14 freeway (CA) going towards Santa Clarita, from Acton (around the more mountainous area) I saw what I first thought was a blue shooting star. As we drove closer (finance was driving) I saw that it wasn't a streak of light but a bunch of blue lights (some small some big, but all in a row). As we drove closer, the lights and the out line of the ship around it became more clear. It was a long rice grain shape with the blue lights in the center of it looking almost like windows (?) it also was about the size of a football field. It was hovering above the desert/cliffy area on a slant (it was in it was not straight it was at a 45 degree angle) on the right hand of the freeway. I kept staring at it panicking and sticking my head out the widow to get a better look. It moved and hovered over the freeway and and within seconds the lights turned off in a row and it completely vanished. I know others saw it, as i looked at the truck behind us and saw the truck driver sticking his phone out the window towards the sky and other people in cars sticking there heads out the window. The freeway wasn't in traffic but was densely populated.

Two Tic Tac shaped craft traveling together from North to South at high speed about 4000 ft up, they caught my eye while I was driving NB on the 14 freeway, when the setting sun reflected off of one of them for a split-second flash. Fast movers coming towards me, they were traveling side by side with one slightly ahead of the other at a consistent speed, both white in color, no wings, no sign of propulsion, got a fairly good look at them as they went over just in front of me, and they looked like flying propane tanks. They came from over the Sierra Palona mountains, went across Acton, CA and were headed south towards the San Gabriel Mountains and they were perfectly round as viewing the tail ends of them as they went out of my view.

Bluish/greenish light flashing on a white object traveling faster than any figher jet with no sound.

Sitting outside in our backyard, my husband and I were star gazing, when an unusually fast white object with a blue/green, maybe turquoise flashing light, traveling south to north, pulsating the bluish light. At first glance, I thought it was a fighter jet, but it went faster than anything I have seen in the sky, including a fighter jet, and there was no sound. We jumped up to follow it and it continued out of view northward. We lost sight of it within 10-20 seconds. About five minutes later, it came back from north to south; however, lower than it had been and we only saw it for about three seconds.

Black triangular silent craft with 3 white blinking lights on corners and one red one in center.

8:45 pm eastern time I was driving down the hill just before my house and I noticed a set of 3 bright white lights that seemed to just hang in the sky. It looked abnormal to me so as soon as I pulled into my driveway I got out of my car and walked to the road where I could see the lights.

Upon observation I saw that the lights were traveling slowly in my direction. I watched as it approached and it seemed to be maybe 2500 or 3000 feet in the air. It was dark outside but the lights were very bright. It appeared to be a black triangle with a white light on each of the three corners with one red light in the very middle of the craft. The white lights were blinking but I don't recall if the red one was or not. As it passed I noticed it was totally silent and on the back end of the craft I could almost make out a line of dimmer lights that were in between the rear corner lights. It may have been a reflection off the craft or dimmer lights, it was hard to tell. Th! e craft traveled in a straight line and was starting to go behind the treeline. No leaves on the trees yet. There were two jets higher in the sky that seemed to be following it. One of the jets was a lot higher than the craft and the second, even higher than that. I could hear the jets and was slightly annoyed because of the fact that since the triangular craft was so low I knew the sound was not coming from that. If it were a plane or jet that low it would have been much louder than the sound of the jets I heard. This thing seemed to silently glide across the sky. The craft was traveling in a north-easterly direction and the whole sighting took place within a four minute period. This also took place on a full moon, which was really big, by the way.

I have always been interested in u.f.o.'s but have never seen one. I'm almost 40 years old and I'm an honest person who does not make up lies or file false reports. I was not under the influence of any alcohol or legal or illegal drugs.

Route 2 West in Acton, MASS, Blue Lights doing amazingly impossible meanuvers

While driving tonight on route 2 West in Acton, MA, my mother and I witnessed about 4 blue lights and a white light, which later turned red (the white light only), all formed together in a triangle shape or similar.

Object (lights) first were stationary then began to move in every direction, up down, figure eight shapes. They came close to the ground and moved in very un-natural ways, and with no resistance in the turns, and also at impossible speeds for conventional aircraft. We saw it for only about 10 seconds which seemed a long time, as for I was driving.

Cars seemed to slow down, and I don’t think we were the only ones witnessing this, it was very obvious in the sky, and abnormal to say the least.

Reddish Orange circle seen on Interstate 74. Acton, IN

I had just left my house and was just turning onto interstate 74. Right when I turned onto the interstate ramp I noticed a bright reddish yellow light out in front possibly about 1000 yards. I thought it was just a plane at first but from the moment I saw it something didn’t look quite right.

As I continued down the interstate I kept watching the object the best I could while driving. I realized the object was slowly moving to the east directly over the interstate.

As I approached the object and went under I stuck my head out the window to get a better look and it looked like nothing I have ever seen before.

The object was 200ft in the air when I passed under it. It was glowing a steady red and the top part seemed to have a little yellow almost like sticking out of it. I never saw it blink one time.

It stayed the constant color which almost seemed to look like some kind of energy ball. I couldn’t believe what I just saw so I exited on the Acton rd. exit and came back down the other side of the interstate heading east and the object was still there just hovering in one spot now. It was hovering about 15ft south of the interstate above a home that is built underground.

I exited the interstate again and could still see the object. As I continued down the road directly south of the interstate I could still see the object now moving.

It seemed to move up and then disappeared into the clouds.

I picked up my brother to go back and look at it but it was already gone. I always had a feeling that these light ufos were real and now I definitely believe it.

Bad weather and overcast skies make a great place to test they're new toys

Driving home from work in rainy weather on the 14 Antelope valley Freeway around 4:45 pm around the 24th of April, 2008. I saw in the top left corner of my windshield 3 fighter jets in formation (2 in the front 1 in back) and they were doing a u-turn and heading back over the thick cloud cover of the Antelope valley, and they were going really fast.

I worked on F-14 Tomcats in the Navy and have lived in Lancaster, Ca. since 1991 and consider myself very observant of the sky around me (I guess that’s from working on a flight line and liking astronomy ) and I have seen many things in the sky like test flights of new designs, Space Shuttles, Stealth planes and even the giant triangle also on a rainy night. But these 3 jets which were unmarked one dark gray, one med. gray and one white were in hot pursuit of another vehicle that looked almost as big as the two front fighters and it was vibrating really vibrating so much I could hardly make o! ut the grayish color of the craft and the x-wing kind of shape the vibration was making, It looked like a disk or a single edged shape.

Because I’ve seen so many things in the sky here I never knew how to report it, I just thought everybody saw this stuff

BRIGHT RED OBJECT DECENDS/THEN TURN BRIGHT GREEN/BLUE AND SHOOTS OFF!

Alright my friends and i often frequent the mountain in our town due to there never being anything to do. We like to just sit out in certain spots and listen to music talk about our days we do this sometimes up to 1am.

So on october the 12 Sunday i remember specifically because we were whining about working the next day. My friend Greg and I were sitting in his truck facing North East. I have seen NUMEROUS shooting stars i have watched meteor showers and this was no shooting star!

So about 12:00am we were listening to music when out of the corner of my left eye From the north west direction I see a Burning red light falling SLOWLY in a parallel motion it fell so slow that i had time to look over It was intense red like it had just burned in from the atmosphere almost? Then it stops turns the brightest of green and fly in the north east direction paralell once again and vanishes in a brilliant greenish/blue flash. This happened in a matter of seconds but a shooting start wouldnt have give me time enough to look before it burnt out and sure as heck wouldn't have shot back into the sky! I looked at my friend Greg and said GREG i just saw some craziness, he said huh? He hadn't seen it, but told me he HAS scene the same type of thing in our town before, so being me i ask around to other people id say about 5 people i asked have seen some mysterious flying object here. We are 40miles from Edwards Airforce base but 20 miles from Lockead Skunk Works. All i can say is i have been searching to see one since i was a boy in New Mexico would stare out of windows forever at 5 years old and now 15 years later i see it not expecting to :) We aren't alone and this is for sure:) 100billion stars in our milkyway galaxy they say, and there could be up to 400billion in it but 300 of which we cannot detect and each star could possably be surrounded by a Earth like planet figure the equation :)

While driving westbound on I14 from Acton I saw green ball of light move across the sky from my upper left to my lower right view through the windshield. The fireball was visable for 3 seconds , was a light luminous green in color and traveled in a slight arc towards the ground. It disappeared behind a mountain with no noticable impact indicators. This was consistant with the other three green fireballs I saw last fall while driving in this area. This is a suburb about 30 miles north of Los Angeles in the mountains so sky conditions are good enough to see the Milky Way. Approximate size was a sixteenth inch in diameter at arms length. I have a very technical background in electronics, optics, photography and astronomy. I am quite familiar with the air traffic routes and seeing objects in the night sky. This was definitly not a plane, a jet, a weather ballon :-), a crash test dummy :-), a typical meteor, an orbiting satellite although it might have been a part of one.

Oblong, orange light in sky traveling at slow speed. White beam of light came down from orange light, then went back up into orange light. Orange light then slowly got smaller until it disappeared.

I was traveling south on the 14 fwy thru Acton, CA around midnight in August 1997. An oblong shaped, orange light appeared and was traveling south above and across the freeway. (Since it was nighttime it was hard to tell how far away the light way.) During this whole episode which only lasted about 20 seconds, the orange light was moving..... A beam of white light came down from the orange light, then slowly went BACK UP into the orange light. It was not a spotlight that is bigger at the bottom like from a helicopter...it was a thin, straight BEAM of light. The light did not fade out or turn off....it went BACK UP into the orange light. Then the orange light while still moving south slowly got smaller and smaller until it was just a pinpoint and then it disappeared.

it was like they knew i was watching them.

Well I was on the porch smoking a cigarette looking at the stars, I was looking at a mountain side which was a big black silhouette against the night sky and stars, when I noticed one what I thought was a star blinking. The elevation I can only guess but over 10,000 feet.

Then as I watched it, it started to descend in a straight line. It stopped at the top of the mountainous ridgeline. This whole time it appears as one white light. Then it began to I don’t know how else to put it, but it began to traverse the ridgeline following it topographically if that makes sense. I was amazed.

I have served in the US Forrest Service as a firefighter and I have seen mountains and ridgelines all up and down California, the only thing I have seen is a D-9 CATAPILLAR that can literally roll up and over a mountain. And I know this wasn’t that, you can hear a CAT, this thing was silent.

So anyway it was on the ridgeline and it was moving closer. I went inside my cabin and woke a camping buddy, I brought him out to the porch and asked him, ‘you see that?’ what is it man? He said, ‘I don’t know’. Then when it stopped on the ridgeline, in a direct straight line from where we were standing I got scared and so did my buddy, when it turned it presented two bright lights like a car. But there were no roads and no cars that I ever seen that could possibly be where this thing was. Then it started to descend the mountain side. Smooth, slow, and silent.

My Buddy ran inside the cabin and got in bed. I had to see how far it would come so I waited outside and watched it. Well, it came all the way down to the corner of the block which was around 30 feet from where I was standing.

I couldn’t see a shape of a craft because the lights were so bright, then the two main lights split, like the Indian GOD with the many arms lights came out 3 on each side. So from two lights it split into six lights. That really scared me so I went back into the cabin and I told my buddy, ‘hey bro that ((word deleted)) thing is out there, it’s coming. So I held the door closed from the inside, like I barred it with my boot and shoulder. Looking out the window I saw it pass but the lights were so bright, when I tried to see the craft as it passed me all I could see was a black void. Then it floated off into the trees executing a quick right then a left turn and it took off into the sky at a low angle and it was gone.

Silent, very large, one white headlight, red lights around edges

A rural road, no street lights or houses, high elevation, ridge between N.H. and Maine. Just going for a ride one evening when we noticed a very bright light approching us from the east, we were traveling north. It got so bright that we stopped the truck, shut off the engine and got out to watch. We saw a triangular thing with a bright headlight and red lights round the edges. It was so very close to us and it had no noise what so ever. It stayed above us for about 15 seconds and then with amazing speed, still silent, was gone in maybe 3 seconds. My only thoughts were "I'm never going to see my children again." I was scared.My husband and my friend didn't report it because we were afraid of ridicule. Who would believe such a crazy story? On thursday night Art Bell replayed a tape of a man who had wittnesed almost the same thing in Phoenix 2 years ago. I thought you might be interested to know this sort of thing happens in rural New England too.

LIght bright-like object seen hovering and slowly moving around fairly far away in the sky

My friend and I were sitting at this location - it is a small cliff like projection overlooking a highway. Friends (high school age) from that neighborhood often hung out there, drinking, smoking, etc.
It wasn't dark at all yet but it wasn't bright out - maybe the sun had set just before? We would have been looking southwest-ish from our vantage point.

As utterly stupid as this sounds, it looked like it was made up of colored lights, very much reminding me of an old school game\art thing called Lite Brite.
We just watched it for a while, made a few jokes at first but just kind of stared at it for 5-10 minutes. It didn't move very much... I think we just left after a while.

Large underside of enormous object, blueish lights - seeming complex intricate industrial looking undercarriage

Riding home from a school event with my parents, presumably my sister in the car with us. We were in a lot of traffic at this location (traffic from school event, play perhaps?) someone in the car said "what the heck is that above us?" and we all looked out of the windows up. I don't know if the shape was rectangular because it may have been too big to see the overall shape. It looked like a somewhat complex undercarriage of something industrial - like piping and things all over it (again just the underneath view). It was many years ago so my recollection isn't perfect but I have the impression that there were bluish straght lights and some yellowish-white lights illuminating the pipes, almost as if the lights were long - not super glaringly bright.

We all couldn't explain it - many, many other people must have seen it since we were all sitting in slow traffic and there were people outside walking around as well. The date isn't exact but somewhere in that range - the location taken from google maps is exact.

I don't remember if anyone did anything with it. I would presume my mom or somebody called the police to let them know once we got home but can't be sure.
