The video tells it all. I saw something, assumed it was nothing, then pulled over and filmed it, and then it disappeared.

I saw a craft slowly flying eastbound flying over Alhambra, Monterey Park or somewhere in that direction, heading the same direction as the 10 freeway, and it slowly descended until it disappeared. I recorded a video. I was listening to 91.5 fm, so you can hear that in the background and it will confirm the timeframe.

NUFORC Note:

Appears to be an aircraft pulling an advertising sign.

Almost invisible except for oval ring glowing a slight green

I heard what sounded like a helicopter coming but the sound was pulsating in strength and volume. I ran outside to see what would make that sound when it was directly over head but I could not locate till I saw the single white light and noticed the greenish glow. There was an almost invisible craft except for a barly visible greenish glow in an oval ring shape and off to its right about a football field away was a single light flying exactly the same speed. No flashing lights and the main large craft almost looked cloaked.

Shape Changing Orbs and Glowing Cigars over JPL and Wilson observatory

For several days in a row over the last week I witnessed multiple objects hovering and moving very quickly in broad daylight.

On Thursday at 10 am I was out in my garden in Altadena and looked up to see two extremely bright objects hovering in the sky. One was small while the second object that was much larger, elongated, glowing brightly and looked like an electric blue cigar with orange light at one end. I estimate the small object was around 2-3’ in diameter and did not appear to hold a consistent form. Sometimes it looked like a cube, sometimes a triangle, sometimes a cylinder, sometimes it would appear to light up and split into two orbs, one going up and one going down. Sometimes it’s profile was reduced to a straight black line. Very hard to describe but always between two and six feet wide. The elongated object was much larger and appeared to be higher up but was so brilliant that is was impossible to determine its position or size. I’m disappointed that it disappeared before I could grab my phone. The small object remained and began to move slowly to the west and disappeared after 20 minut! es. My girlfriend who is a teacher and happened to be between classes managed to see it when it as it left our view over the horizon in the area of JPL.

I was not expecting to see another noiseless shape changing object on Friday but it was back at 8 am in the exact same place, though I did not see the cigar from Thursday. The wind had increased overnight as the Santa Ana winds began to move in and it was a gusty morning. The object was lower to the ground, this time moving in a more northward direction towards Mt. Lowe. From a side profile the shape of the object became less spherical, more geometric and appeared to be rotating.

On Saturday while my girlfriend and I were in the garden during the afternoon, the object reappeared in airspace above Wilson observatory for the better part of twenty minutes. This time there was a stationary object pulsing and glowing as brightly as a star and not moving. There also a mix of propeller and jet powered aircraft in the vicinity. As the object remained fixed in the air one of the jets made several passes by the object, approaching it from the west. This jet appeared to be military, judging by its movement, short fuselage and triangular-shaped wings. The stationary object appeared to become brighter as the aircraft would begin its approach towards it. After several more passes by the aircraft (around 20-25 minutes) the object began to move northward and possibly gain altitude as its brightness began to fade. I took video of the events and upon further examination and slowing things down frame-by frame it is possible to see that there was not just one stationary! object but multiple objects. These others were the same size and luminous qualities as the stationary object, moving in and out of view at very high speed, present for only 3-4 frames at a time- many times faster than any of the aircraft in view and making no sound.

Duration: 1 hour
No of observers: 2

Location: Altadena, CA, USA

Shape: Light


Hiking way up in the mountains of Altadena, around 8:30pm witnessed a total of 51 unidentified flying objects (single distant unblinking lights) traveling in a somewhat straight trajectory appearing near Orion's Belt traveling by Venus in a NW trajectory. They all were maintaining the same speed and direction one appearing after the next. My friend and I both watched this transpire over about an hour. When looking up above us,we also noted additional distant lights but traveling in several different directions.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Altadena, CA, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

A series of bright orange lights appeared in a line, floated up and disappeared near Pasadena, CA

Approximately 15-20 orange lights floated up into the sky in a line and then each disappeared in the same order, at their highest point seen. We are in Altadena, CA, and the lights appeared to the south or southwest and seemed to float up and towards the north or northwest.

We have been unable to find anything about this on the Internet. The lights could have been part of a holiday display or event but i would think others would also be curious. It is hard to tell how far away they were, possibly at the Rose Bowl or farther south such as LAX? Any info would be appreciated!

Bright white light sphere with lights emitting down and covered in a haze.

Friday morning, I was at work and saw a sphere that had a mist around it. It had 2 light beams coming down that looked like a drooping fuzzy mustache.

The a very direct beam of light came out of its side and pulsed a few times.

It made no sound had the just disappeared

Yes, I appreciate that today is April 1. However, I would find it difficult to explain what I saw this evening as an April fools joke. I am a professional engineer & must state that I have seen nothing like this in my 35+ years as a professional.

What I saw tonite were two distinct & separate formations very high in the atmosphere heading SSE from between Venus & Jupiter @ ~19:50 PDT. I watched them for about 8 minutes, after which they disappeared. Though they were somewhat dim, and @ a high altitude, I was able to follow them. Their brightness reminded me of the "7 sisters" though somewhat dimmer & they continued forward. That said, they were clear to my eye & I was able to track them until they disappeared @ ~220 degrees (SSW).

This is the 1st report I have ever made to anyone on such topic. I am not into UFO's, but I know what I saw tonite. Let me know if you require more info. & please let me know, if you may, what you determine re: this report.

Moving light stops in mid-flight then vanishes

Looking up at the sky, just before the Altadena fireworks show, a young woman (who I had never met before) and I noticed a light, slightly bigger than a star, moving swiftly across the sky. The woman asked me if I thought it was a satellite and I said that I thought so, except it was moving too quickly. The light stopped almost directly over our heads. We both were surprised and she commented that she had never seen a satellite do that before. We watched it for a moment longer and then - poof- it just disappeared. Vanished.

Shape: Triangle


Stationary Black Triangle over Southern California Near JPL, spotted by 2 witnesses. 20-30 seconds.

My friend and I after running some errands got out of my car he looked up and said he saw something strange. I thought he was teasing at first then when he kept looking I began looking through the high clouds bright sunlight and he had to direct me to what he saw just North west of the suns position. He joked that it was either and Object or a black trash bag floating around. I saw for a few seconds a black triangle, same distance up as the high clouds, it was not obscured at first and did not appear to be moving at all. Within a few seconds it was gone, either vanished or was obscured by clouds.

This is my third sighting, only my first report. It is possible it was a highflying balloon(unlikely because of not moving) or a test craft designed by Northrup Grummann JPL is less than 250 yards from my front door. It is also possible it was something else- of non-terrestrial origin, There was no propeller or exhaust visible at all.
