Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects, Changed Colo

Every night I see a large orange ball of light with 2 to 3 smaller blue balls of light.

These balls of lights are between 2 major airports. Because of this I don’t believe drones are allowed in the air space. I have not heard nor read anything about these lights. One night I drove out to the bay to try and get a better look with binoculars and I could have sworn I saw things coming out of these orbs. I don’t drink or do drugs. It’s something I can’t really explain.

I would like to be contacted via e-mail only.

Location details: Ballena Blvd. UAP seemed to be over SF Bay. Only noticed briefly while sun was low.

Shape: Unknown


I saw 5 bright objects that seemed to reflect the light from the sun. Seemed slow but bizarre trajectory

I saw these lights while walking my dog during sunset. They seemed to be reflecting the sunlight rather than creating light of their own and I could no longer see them once the sun had completely set. I could not discern shapes, just brightness. They seemed to be very high in the sky. They moved with a very strange trajectory, like they were falling up and North if that makes sense. They all moved together. The blue dot next to the tree was not seen by the naked eye, but the 5 lights in the sky across my picture were visible. I don’t really buy into UFOs and aliens and all that, but I eventually thought to take a picture when I realized I could not explain what I was staring at. I have a Master’s in engineering and wanted to figure it out later, deciding that they were probably balloons of some kind. I tried to get a video of the strange movement but the window of opportunity had passed; the sun had set. I decided to submit now after learning that there was a spate of UAP sightings across the country shortly after and confirmed by the military.

Oval shaped craft with orange lights around red lights in a cross shape

I say an oval shaped craft that was about the size of a 707. It had orange lights all around it and what appeared to be red lights in the middle in the shape of a cross. It was flying at about 3,000 feet then all of a sudden went vertical through the cloud cover very quickly. I've watched planes my whole life as my dad was an Air force fighter pilot and also worked at the Naval air station in Alameda. I've never seen anything like this.

Uncharacteristically bright light moving incredibly fast, in a straight, horizontal line, from S-Sw to N-NE

I live in Alameda, California. I saw something in the middle of the night last night that I feel compelled to report to you.

I have been unable to sleep at night this past month, and have become used to lying awake in bed while it is dark, and then falling asleep as day breaks. I have attributed this to stress, as my stress levels this past few months have been off the charts.

I have recently started sleeping with the windows open, since the cooling breeze off San Francisco Bay comes through my bedroom window. As I live on the third floor of the building, it is uncomfortably warm most of the day, so I welcome the cool breeze.

There is another building approximately 20 feet away out this same window that is about 4 feet taller than this one, I am thus afforded a bare horizontal “strip” of sky, starting above the building next door, ending with the top boundary of the window, covering a span of approx 10 degrees of sky, as the primary view out my bedroom window.

Most nights I simply lie there and stare at that strip of sky, which, frankly, is quite dull. At most, I catch a plane or two slowly circling in its low-altitube path toward the Oakland International Airport, which is about five minutes from my apartment building. There is the occasional star that will break through the haze, or be plainly visible on clear nights, but I have never seen anything unusual, until last night/this morning.

During the wee hours (approx 3:50am) this morning (11-23-17), I was lying there, staring out the window, unable to sleep again. It was fairly overcast last night, with a faint star sometimes shining through the overcast haze as it would thin at times, and then becoming invisible again. This is usually what I see, other than the occasional plane on its low-altitude path to OAK airport.

At approx 3:50am, my jaw dropped open as I saw a single bright white light ZOOM past, completely in my view. It went by in literally a split second, but I clearly saw it. My window faces a few degrees NW of true West, so this object would have been travelling a few degrees NE of true North. Its path was completely horizontal, ie: it went in a line parallel with the top of the next building. There was NO sound. It was completely silent.

It was obviously low enough to be below the overcast haze. It was uncharacteriscally bright. It also travelled faster than anything I have seen before. It literally ZIPPED past my window, flying horizontally, in the span of a second . It was there, coming into my view from the left, travelling to the right, and was gone.

This is only the second sighting of something I had no explanation for in my life. It was flying faster than any aircraft I have ever seen, including fighter jets. Much faster. And there was no sound as it went past, ruling out a fighter jet. And it was a single, bright white dot of light. No red, no blue, no green, no blinking. Just a steady white light travelling horizontally, faster than anything I’ve ever seen before.

As far as altitude or distance, my only frame of reference is that it was below the layer of haze, but above the roof of the building next door, obviously. And it was brilliantly bright white. My overall impression was that it was flying fairly “low”, compared to how high the planes coming into OAK usually fly.

I have not seen any other reports from early this morning, so I have no idea if anyone else saw it and said anything about it. It was gone before I could even begin to clamber out of bed to see if I could see it off to the right.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. As I said, this is only the second time in my life that I have seen something in the sky that could not be explained away by conventional explanations.

The only other time I’ve seen something inexplicable was entirely different. It happened in 1999, when I lived in Austin, Texas. I lived in the country at the time, and was taking a walk down our long dirt driveway to make sure our front gate was closed. It had to have been between 10pm and midnight, but I do not remember the exact month and day. I want to say it was in the middle of summer. Our property was oriented squarely on the East/West axis, so our driveway was a 400 foot straight dirt road along our North border, running exactly East-West, with the gate at the road being on the Eastern boundary.

It was an overcast night, so the cloud ceiling was obvious, as the city lights a few miles away bounced off the haze and created bit of a pinkish glow to the clouds. Glancing up slightly so my eyes took in the Eastern horizon I saw a large, unmistakeably rigid “V” shaped bank of oddly cohesive clouds moving directly from North to South, about 15 degrees above the horizon.

It was like watching a “fuzzy pink V of clouds” move silently in a straight line. It was not moving fast, but steadily and silently. It disappeared behind a bank of trees on our property and i was not able to follow it any further.

No sound, no lights emanating from it, but rather a true “V” that seemed to be made of clouds, moving silently and steadily, and what seemed purposefully, from North to South, at a consistent rate of speed.

This was not “clouds being blown aimlessly by the breeze”…there were no other “low” clouds below the ceiling of the overcast sky. There were absolutely no “lower” clouds present at all, besides this “V”. This thing moved steadily, as if propelled at a consistent rate of speed. I remember thinking, “Cloaked craft made to look like clouds?” at the time.

I was heavily into UFO research during that period of my life, and had, of course, read/seen the reports of “V-shaped craft”, but this thing was not your typical “big black V”…it had no lights, and it had to have been huge…covering at least several city blocks in the span between the “tips” of the ends of the “V” shape. It was not a solid triangle, but instead a “V” or “boomerang” of pinkish fuzzy clouds moving below the obvious cloud ceiling above. I never saw it nor anything like it again.

Sorry to have squeezed two sightings into one report, but actually remembered the Austin sighting after detailing the one.

Thank you again. I check your site regularly for new reports. Yours is the most measured and least “hyped and sensationalized” of all the “ufo reporting” sites out there, and I commend you on your method of reporting.

Saw green flashing or lightning twice in a minute. I woke up and saw 2 flashes.

I was sleeping and I woke up at the exact moment I saw green lightning (or a green flash) coming from the bay window over my head. I was startled because I had seen this same EXACT thing last year. It was green flashing or lightning.

I waited for maybe 10 seconds... wide away at this point and saw it again, clear as day... bright green flashing, with a hot white center. It seemed to be right over Alameda...or even my house.

I have waited a day for any news of power outages (down transformers that could've blown... no storms at all though). I have tried to find news of meteor showers in the area, and no info is available. It's just an eerie mystery and it has me perplexed. Also, it was silent..... both times (and my window is open for a breeze)

Bright white elongated diamond shape in night sky

Just finishing up laundry downstairs late (early morning) at night. Was just about to go up the backstairs when I couldn't help but notice an extremely bright white light. It was in the shape of an elongated diamond. I stood still and watched for about 3-5 seconds before it seemed to slowly "cloak" itself and then it was gone. It did not make a sound at any time.

I ran up my back stairs and called out for my fiance' since I was scared out of my mind. We also had to deal with our neighbors barking dog from 1:30- 2:30 AM and my young child who woke up from the insane barking. I thought that I could explain it away thinking well maybe I just saw a plane etc but I know that is not what I saw and couldn't go back to sleep until 3AM being comforted by my fiance'.

Two red-lighted objects with red lights flowing down from them spotted over San Francisco Bay.

At approximately 8:55 PM on Thursday, September 26 I saw two U.F.O.s about 45 degrees up from the horizon over the San Francisco Bay from Alameda, CA. They had two bright red lights on top and then a shower of red lights falling from them like rain. The lights coming down looked like jellyfish tentacles and came down approximately three times the height of the bright red lights at the top.

Looking at these two objects made me feel like I needed glasses. The lights coming down would not stay in focus. I could not see the shape of the objects. They were too far away and it was too dark. If you happened to glance up, you would probably think they were regular commercial planes off in the distance.

After watching them move slowly toward the south across the sky, one of them turn into a small white light and disappeared. The other continued to move out of view.

Triangular craft moves like leaf and later 3 multicolor fading lights form PERFECT triangle and turn counterclockwise

I was down fernside on my way home and as I was passing the local middle school I noticed there we're lots of planes at different levels, with different colored lights pulsing all at different rates (which is usually typical) but I decided to keep paying attention because of how many there were! There had to be more than 10 in the sky around the same area that night, which doesn't seem very safe.

It wasn't until I was crossing the bay farm bridge that I saw a triangular shaped aircraft swaying downward left and right like a leaf that I thought...something is seriously not right. I look around again and notice all the aircrafts I saw were either gone or my much much farther except for three above what I know as trash mountain (the gated off blonde grassy area on bay farm side near the bridge/bike path). They were far enough to only be perceived as lights but close enough to see them change colors from blue red purple orangish white. They were all moving delicately and began to form a PERFECT triangle. Then it began to move counterclockwise STILL keeping the perfect formation and STILL changing colors. These color changes werent flashy or quick. They were slow and almost faded into one another. After the lights stopped turn they branched off one by one to form a perfect line with perfect spacing in between. By that point I had to turn right and it was on the left ! side of the bridge so I could no longer see it.

I have seen small bright stars in the night sky that have the same color fading effect that i have not noticed before this year. I usually see them in three as well, either creating an elongated line or decently distantanced triangle, but still very exact form from what I make of it.

Craft resembling a plane disappears in broad daylight.

This craft that appeared very much at first to be a plane, until I noticed it had no wings. Knowing that the first thing to do when witnessing a UFO is to get another person to see it, I asked my wife to verify the craft had no wings, which she agreed could not be seen in the time we were 'allowed' to view it.

The craft was traveling N-NE over Oakland, Calif., at an approximate angle of 50 degrees and climbing, the same trajectory as numerous planes we notice taking off from the Oakland airport daily.

What made this sighting unique: While still attempting to verify the lack of wings 100%, the object passed behind a building as we were driving, and we waited for it to come out on the other side to continue viewing, but it NEVER RE-APPEARED. I scanned the entire sky when clear of the building obstruction, the object was nowhere to be seen in the sky, which is an impossibility given the physics and elevation of the flightpath.

Small orange ball of fire floating upwards in Alameda, Ca.

My wife and I saw a small orange ball of fire floating upwards, from NW, into the sky. Then floated NE, rising higher and higher, into the sky. There was no sound of any propulsion. We took a couple of pictures and it appeared like a small grey cylinder with a black dot in the center. It appeared like a small ball of fire to our eyes. We noticed it dropping a misty substance.

I saw yellow lights being shifted around in to different shapes.

I was with my girlfriend when I saw the aircraft. When I looked I thought it was an airplane since it was near the airport. At first I saw it as a diagonal line, 4 lights only at this time I didn't care but I stared a little longer nd it moved in a way. That's when I alerted my friends. You had to look at it for 20 seconds for it to move. Then we noticed it became to be a triangle? It started to slowly turn into just one bright light.

I called your hotline and I was not able to be token seriously because the guy who picked says he receives a huge amount of prank calls from kids. I am not one of them I just REALLY need to know and I need to be told if I were right or wrong or that more people believe me.

The lights were yellow and in the middle of those shapes I MAY have seen a shade.

Star that stops, slows, stops,slows, then drops out of sight.

I was on a small country road and stopped to see the stars. I enjoy the fresh air and was observing the stars. The night was clear. A starlike star shape came out from like a ziplok bag, or from being tossed out! It seemed almost like a kid's toy as it was droppping like 1:15,3:15, 4:15, on a clock! It seemed to have very unusual way of controling its movement and then soon after persihed behind the Vargas Hills. I have seen many stars over the years, yet none like this. It also had a very bright whitish firey tail that was very bright! What is more interesting, is it was 10x bigger than any falling star I have ever seen! I did not see a craft. I saw a star with a whitish firey tail.

The object was very bright and stayed in one spot for the most part, but for about 20mins it kept falling below the houses roof line and I would have to back up to see it again.

Object might have lasted in the air longer but went out of sight and could not be seen any more from where I was ..

A fleet of white circular UFOs over Alameda, CA.

My wife and I saw a fleet of white circular UFOs flying overhead at around 13,000-15,000 feet over me in formation moving very slowly today, July 11, 2010 at around 16:10 hours.

The formation was more of an long elongated formation. Some crafts were in a tight formation while other crafts were spread out. From what I can see, they were too high to be birds and too big to be balloons. If they were white balloons, they should of been moving south because the wind was blowing from the north this evening at around 10 knots.

This was not a one time occurance in my area. I usually see one or two during my weekend afternoons when I am usually working on my garden, but never thought of reporting it due to the fact that I don't know what it is. But this time it was different, I saw 27-30 of this unusual craft moving overhead and the frequency of siting is increasing.

I am at a close proximity to Oakland and San Francisco airport and see many planes of deferent make and sizes flying overhead. I know what planes or helicopters looks like even at high altitude from the shape of the fuselage and wings. This crafts exhibited no known feature of known aircrafts.

I am a laboratory manager for a small Biotechnology company and have training in science. My wife is an Executive Assistance for a high technology company. We both now firmly believe there is crafts of unknown origin flying through our airspace.

I would like to purchase a digital video camera soon to film my experiences so that I can share or present solid evidence to other researchers in this field. I hope we were not the only people who witnessed this amazing event this evening.

Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a single red light that never changed shape or color but moved in an unconventional fasion.

Sometimes around 3 am I go out and look up at the sky with my naked eyes. On two different occasions when looking straight up I've seen this star sized red light that moves around now and then. I'm wondering if it's some kind of satellite. It stays in one place though and then moves a few degrees and stops and then repeats this moving a few degress from there to a different spot. I have not seen it disappear, it outlasted me as I don't have much stamina. What I've done is gone back inside for awhile to rest and then I've come back outside to see if it's still there and I was able to find it quickly and it continued doing its strange stopping and then moving a few degrees and stopping again.

It stays completely red the whole time and does not scintilate at all. I have to admit, part of me is wondering if it's a UFO but I've never heard of a UFO described this way. If you know what it is please enlighten me.

I saw this in Alameda California. Unfortunately, I don't know the date, it was during last summer, that's all I remember. I don't think it was ET, I think it may have been a manmade UAV. I recently joined an Astronomy forum and someone there thought I should report it here. I have to say that I am surprised that so far no one else has seen something like this on the forum I joined.

7 Lights, Big to small, moving to the center of the triangle, appearing out of no where as if going un cloaked.

Driving along the 680 freeway, northbound, I was scanning the skyline ahead of us. My buddy was driving on our way home from work and I, as I do every time on the road at night, was looking for strange craft.

Typically I see these triangles over my home in Tracy Ca as they are the ones flying the lowest, quietest, and slowest over the town, usually in groups of two to three, one after another, in the same path. Friday nights view was the best I've ever had.

First I see up above, a standard plane, similar to a U2, with no lights on. It had a red and green light, and no others.

About two minutes later, as I scan ahead of us, all of a sudden there it was. It appeared out of no where. Nowhere was it in front of us until, I must have blinked, and there were two lights ahead and sllight right of us, about 1-2 miles from us. Freeway is packed and as we pass to the left of the craft, it was no more than 500 yards to my right and 250 yards up.

I saw a perfect triangle with three big lights in each corner. Center was a tiny light and between each big light and the center light was a medium light. This was by far the best vision of this triangle I've ever seen.

I rolled down my window pointing and my buddy didnt get to see it all lit up, sort of hovering to the right like I did. Traffic was heavy. Often these planes come in and appear to land or hover about the Sunol grade area, just before the 84 exit. This one either was invisible and came out at that moment, or perhaps he was moving at such a quick speed that when he stopped, I was able to view him. Amazing!

Single object met up with two other objects and all 3 flew in formation. Unique strobe sequence.

Object seen traveling northbound up the San Francisco Bay displaying an unusual strobe sequence. Strobe sequence was a set of 3 followed by 5 seconds of no strobes followed by another set of 3 then strobing stopped and a faint light similar to a satellite glow became visible. No red and green wing lights visible. Object continued up the Bay then turned right heading over the East Bay. Object joined up with two other craft displaying the same 3 consecutive strobe pattern. All three objects faded over the East Bay until no longer visible. The strobe light sequence was different as seen on normal commercial aircraft which caught my attention and the flight pattern differed from the normal Oakland, San Francisco departure patterns. Could be military craft?

My wife and I witnessed a UFO outside our window

On the night in question (about 07/16/2003), I woke up about 3AM and saw a blue light out of my bedroom window that was about 500-1000 feet away, hovering over the San Francisco Bay off Alameda Island, where I was living. The object was a blue light and it moved in a back and forth motion. This was not a helicopter or an airplane or jet. It was silent, and it moved in unusual ways, and seemed to be just hanging there, but would "drift" to the right. At first I thought it was a helicopter, but it had no blinking lights or sound. After staring at it for about 10 minutes I woke my wife and asked her to watch this with me to see what she thought. She also agreed it was something we could not identify. We were familiar with the passenger jets that take off and land in the Oakland airport nearby, and with helicopters that often fly near our home, but this was not like any of those. It did not act in the way a usual aircraft would act. It's movement was inexplicable and odd. It drifted sideways until we couldn't see it anymore from our window.

stationary star moves

Friends and I were sitting out by the bay(*420*) on top of a giant concrete cube, some kind of container. Two friends on thier backs looking at stars, the person sitting next to me lays doun, then me. I look directly overhead at two stars right next to eachother which are the brightest around. Imediately the more northern star of the two moves from where it had been imobile. The stationary light(thought to be a star) moved in a north direction in an un strait trajectory. The thing was the exact same color and size as the other stars, and tthe ufo got dimmer over the millons of miles it must have covered in space distance. Everyone I was with noticed it at the same time and started talking and asking if everyon else saw it. My first ufo

a flying chevron with extremely white bright lights for about 5 seconds and it disapeared in clear sky while banking right

11/16/99 at 8:50 PM we saw a chevron with extremely bright large white rectangular lights horizontally along bottom (my friend say he believes there were eight)(i saw it 1 second after him, thought there was 4 to 6 lights) accending westbound 1500 to 2000 feet it appeared to bank right and disappeared in clear portion of sky. we saw it for 5 seconds we were looking for tail lights or something like an airplane, while it was banking when it disappeared. We drove to the old base and there was open skys with two or three low scattered clouds. Could see SF and bridges clear view of big dipper and moon. We saw two regular planes and could follow their lights through the clouds, and the ufo was in open sky. My friend is a expierenced flyer and saw object first. We were in car crossing webster st traveling west on santa clara. my friend says it was a fully illuminated flying boomarang.

Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: close enough to tell it was not an airplane.
Estimated Speed: unimaginably fast


Circular flying object moving in ways conventional even modern aircraft physics cannot explain.

A circular object was spotted conducting maneuvers which seem to defy physics. It did not move in any direction linearly but instead would "teleport" substantial distances in different directions. I was able to see the object for at least 30 minutes. Until the hills finally blocked out the view angle. Definitely could retrace exact route if ever i returned to California someday.

Subsequently, started having vivid really emotional dreams of staring outside of a huge airport of some sort. Awaiting a craft or having the emotional feeling of waiting for something massive and feeling in awe. I've always dismissed them as weird dreams. Not a link by any means but I have aphantasia which made the dreams even more so peculiar concerning how vivid they were.

Duration: 5 min

Location: Alameda, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

I had been moving in to our new apartment in Alameda, California. I was relaxing on the beach overlooking the San Francisco Bay south of the Oakland San Francisco Bridge. Looking toward the north west I observed a small red light at approximately 30,000 ft. It was heading basically toward San Francisco. Initially I assumed it to be a Navigation light of a large plane. I assumed it was coming in for a landing at San Franisco Airport. It began to lose altitude and surprisingly it came toward me and in front of me across the bay at a distance of perhaps a mile. Again I assumed it to be perhaps a helicopter now although to me it was still a round red ball of brilliant light. To my surprise it suddenly dove right into the bay and the light went out and whatever it was disappeared completely. It's speed at impact must have been aproximately 100 mph. I called FAA and the San Francisco tower but no one appeared interested. I gave up. There was no accounts of any crashes in the next few days and to this day I still do not know what it was. "Ley Line' fire ball? UFO? I have still the record and sketch I prepared ewhich is in my log for 1980. I was stationed at Alameda NAS at the time. There was another 'situation' which occurred to both me and my wife several years previously. This time in Missouri, in Rolla, and I will provide this report seperately. ((name deleted))

This is a very delayed report: While stationed at the Alameda Naval air station in California. It was I believe early in 1979 when their was much publicity concerning the NASA "Sky Lab". Much information was being given out via the media concerning the sky lab and it decaying orbit. It was being reported to the public by several radio and TV stations that sometime with a few days skylab would eventually fall to earth. I recall overhearing this on a late news segment. The broadcast also indicated that it would possible to observe the sky lab as it passed overhead. They news gave a general direction in which to look and a general time also. My now ex-wife and a friend went outside to attempt to watch for the ill fated sky lab. It was a very clear and calm night. There was no wind or other noises to speak of. We were watching the sky for about 20 seconds when from the northwest moved right overhead was a giagantic object. So large it covered the entire sky above us. The object was very dark possible either black (or it seemed to not reflect light). or opague. It had some very small dim white light placed in random order around its hull. It was completely silent. We heard no engine noise or any other noise for that matter. The object rotated approx 90% as it "hovered" slowly. it then moved off over the hoizon. As the object moved off we then observed the "sky lab" pass overhead. Which resembled a regular satalite as it passed

Ufo Collision with Marine Corp Fighter

I was a radar operator in marine corp reserve at Alameda Naval Air Base. Time November 1962, i saw 3 boagies on screen at 38 degrees , saw them again at 184 degrees going out bound 15 seconds later. two jets were scrambled to investigate.((name deleted)) reported a collision with a UFO . And reported he had lost his canopy. Upon return to the base the jet was put in hangar two guards posted outside. and three new trainees myself included were not allowed back on base when we returned for our drill the following week. To this date I have never been discharged from the marine corp air wing reserves.
