Location: Aliso Viejo, CA, USA
Location details: Driving on Aliso Creek Road looking towards Mission Viejo.

Shape: Orb
Color: Yellowish-Orange
Estimated Size: It was huge. Bigger than the moon.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Driving on Aliso Creek and I viewed the object Southwest of the position I was at.
Angle of Elevation: 60
Closest Distance: 20-30 miles
Characteristics: Lights on object

4 yellowish-orange lights moving in unison creating a hybrid between a rectangle/diamond shape. The bottom left light was a bit indented trading a hybrid shape. All three other lights were in perfect angles and corners creating a rectangle. All four lights were seen above the horizon above mountains looking towards Mission Viejo. My eyes got drawn to it I tried to look away to debunk the lights but I kept looking back at them and even though I had full control of my cognition I still felt that I was being drawn to look at them as if they wanted one person to see it. The lights/craft never changed speed. In an almost hypnotizing way I watched it all the way behind the mountain with all the lights disappearing. Never to be seen again. And it was clear it wasn’t moving away from the horizon. instead of staying in the same distance I’m just going down as if the sun was setting. It was actually quite beautiful.

6 orange orbish lights in Aliso Viejo

I drive a patrol car for a securiry company, graveyard shift. I was pulling into one of the communities that I hit everynight, and it's located on the side of a hill that overlooks a valley to the hills by San Juan Capistrano. That's where I saw 3 dark orange lights that almost looked like they were on fire. I see that hill across the Valley every night and thought rhat the lights looked way too big, and that I never saw them before and thats when out of nowhere 3 more just descend from above out the black of night looked like fireballs coming down to the earth when they suddenly stopped directly above the original 3.

There was a group of about 4 or 5 kids at a park bench about 40 yarda away from me that couldn't stop watching this either the lights just floated there for a minute and then started spreading out towards the ocean.

I lost track of 4 of them, but 2 stayed in the first location for about 30 minutes

Red light in the sky hovering over my truck

While I was unloading my truck, I looked to my left and saw a red light up in the sky, hovering and not moving. I kept staring at and then it began to move away from me. A few minutes later, it moved back to its original location.

While I was staring at it, it began to move towards me and then was directly over my head. While it was over my head, I took my phone out and stated taking pictures of it, two total. After that, it flew the opposite direction from its original position and stayed in one position.

A few minutes later, it went back to its original location, while the light remained red. Shortly afterwards, the red light went off.

Since this day, I believe I’ve been under surveillance and have seen helicopters follow me up and down different freeways and then all the way home every night.

Reappearing and disappearing orange lights.

In the beginning I saw one orange light hovering. There was no way it was any aircraft, it did not seem to be moving.

Then another one appeared to the right of it. This one almost looked like there was another one directly below it.

Then about 5 minutes later the original light started to flicker and then went out. Another 5 minutes passed and another light appeared to the right.

After another 5 minutes the light before that one flickered and dissapeared.

Then another 5 minutes passed and the last one flickered and disappeared.

Duration: 30 seconds

Location: Aliso Viejo, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Fireball approaching earth, changing direction and disappearing into the clouds.

One of our children in the neighborhood came running up to my neighbor saying, “Oh my God daddy that thing is going to crash”. Both myself and the neighbor heard the other children yelling as well. I looked up and saw a plane and pointed it out to the boy. He said “not that” and then he pointed in another direction, “THAT”. When we looked in the other direction (Our location - 33 degrees 34’ 1’’ N, 117 degrees 44’2’’ W Looking 264 degrees West – approximately 10-15 thousand feet) there was a fire ball that was approaching earth moving what I would say to be about 200 – 300 mph.…difficult to tell. It was not coming straight down it was going from right to left glowing yellow and white. It was getting closer and not further away. If a Cartesian coordinating system was held up to the sky it would going from 2,3 towards 0. See below: Figure 1 (1) ("Cartesian coordinate system," 16 August 2012 at 18:35, p. 1) The intensity of the fireball grew and then seemed to calm down followed by another rise in intensity. I asked my neighbor if he was seeing the same thing I was and he said, “ya, what is that?” he said.

After that the fire ball seemed to slow down. An air craft was approaching the same area that the fire ball appeared to be in but because of depth perception issues it may have simply been flying underneath it. The air craft was coming from the south moving towards 359 degrees N at a slow speed. After the fireball stopped, it went back into the clouds going up the “y” axis (see figure [2]) Figure 2 After this it disappeared into the cloud cover. This was captured on my I-phone, but the quality is poor when we played it back on a big screen TV. The entire episode lasted about 1 minute.

The second time was similar in nature about 5 minutes after but lasted only about 15 seconds with more witnesses as previously mentioned.

Bright, moving cluster of lights above South Orange County

Looking approximately 131 degrees southeast from my window in Aliso Viejo, CA. Noticed lights over southern horizon at about 7:12 PM. The lights seemed to break apart and merge again several times, with the number of lights visible at any one time ranging from 2 to 6. All appeared to be the same size and all glowed a bright orange-yellow light, noticeably brighter than any of the city lights. Distance was hard to judge, but was definitely past the horizon several miles away. They moved very slowly, some of them merging together. At various points, new lights appeared higher in the sky than the others, this is what convinced me that they were not coming from the ground. Lights would go out before going below the horizon. At approximately 7:48 PM, the number of lights dwindled down to two, and then the two merged into one. The final light remained stationary in the sky for one to two minutes before going out. No further lights have been seen. Additionally, at ! one point, a light noticeably coming from an aircraft was seen crossing east to west above the lights about ten to fifteen minutes after I first saw the lights.

A very bright white light moving slowly West from the South, South East of Aliso Viejo California.

Brightest light in the sky. Moving very slowly. People across the canyon from us were taking pictures of it. It is too bright to be a star. It is moving too slow to be a plane. I am looking at it towards the South, South East from my location. Don't know what to make of it.

Oval-shaped circle of very bright lights hovering and gliding from sided to side laterally in the sky over Aliso Viejo

We saw a brightly lit oval-shaped disk made up of lights surrounding a complete oval in the sky about 12,000 feet up. It look as if it were off in the distance a few miles (could have been more since there's no comparison to the size). You could see through the oval, and as it laterally transversed in the sky across long distances, it would change angle so you could see through the cirlce of lights (just looked black inside). It would shoot down as if to dart down to the earth sometimes spinning around and around. It went away for 15 minutes and then returned again for maybe 5 minutes to the same place, this time higher up in the sky as it swooshed down out of sight again. It would hover in one space and then travel laterally, as the angle changed quite frequently. No doubt in my mind, this was a UFO.

round object hovering over city with upper and lower row of lights

As my fiance and I were entering a Khols department store, we noticed two rows of white lights that seemed to be stationary in the sky above the store, the object appeared to have been within 1/4 mile of our location. There was a single round shaped object that seemed to be hovering over the city. The object had two rows of bright white lights, that were around the edge of the circular shape, and between the two rows of lights was a single bright white light. The object appeared to have been between 500 and 1000 feet in elevation, and was pretty large. The night it happened, there was a low cloud cover, which the object was under. I noticed the cloud cover level, because there was absoulutely no sound coming from the object, and with low cloud cover,and lower elevation of the object, most aircraft would have made some sort of noise. The object moved slowly south, the seemed to sway from side to side loosing and gaining elevation with the sway. The object then slowly turned towards the east and moved away at a very slow pace until it went out of sight behind some buildings. As I changed locations to see the object again, it was no longer visible.

My fiance ( who is a marriage and family therapist) and myself (who is an environmental professional) both saw this object for approximately 2 min, and could not identify what type of know aircraft this could have been.

Aliso Viejo, CA 1/6/06 10:50pm square shape in sky w/ dim lights in corners flying erratically all directions above neighborhoods.

On top of a hill near my home while driving I saw a square shape in the sky with 4 lights each in corner flying towards me maybe a thousand feet in the air. It went over my car where I couldn't see it so I pulled over and turned the car so I could roll down my window and confirm what I saw. I then saw it go over another neighborhood and move erratically and stopping a couple times. All this time I could see airplanes in the sky up above which had flashing lights and were miles higher. This object only had 4 dim lights- no flashing. It seemed to go any direction it wanted.

Duration: 3-4 min
No of observers: 2

Location: Aliso Viejo, CA, USA

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

A silver-white cylinder with detached bright yellow light right underneath seen hovering 1000 feet up and sped up noislessly.

I was walking with wife in a residential area (condominium complex)which is a densly populated area in South Orange county (roughly between LA and San Diego) about 12 miles from the coast. The sky was clear, great visibility, hot (about 80), almost no wind, no moon.

All of a sudden, we both saw a brightly lit object consisiting of two parts: one being a perfectly shaped cylinder oriented vertically, silver white in color, the other part was resembling a yellow disk emitting much brighter light like a large star (my wife describes this as a flat lantern).

The object was hovering at about 1000 feet above us for 5-6 seconds without a sound, then started to move slowly and then faster and faster to the left and ascending at the same time. We heard no sound.

Finally the objet became resembling a yellow star and disapperead from view completely. Unfortunately, we were at the street alone, nobody else was out at that time.

We are both professionals, highly educated and never believed in these phenoms described in the UFO books and elsewhere. However, this experience changed our view on this phenomenon - what was going on?
