Checked GoSky app…no planets/stars at that location

Over the course of two weeks, I noticed the same bright object at dusk in the same general location. Thought it was a star or planet but eventually got curious and checked my GoSky app…nothing. Calibrated it and still nothing of note. Video and pics seemed to indicate something odd. Perhaps pixelation from Iphone 13 camera.

NUFORC Note:

Possibly the gosky app was wrong

Reported: 2016-11-29 22:40 Pacific
Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: American Canyon, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

I observed a large object flying in the night sky. It was loud and flying slow, but changed direction.

I heard something quite loud right over my house and ran to the window. I saw a large unidentified craft flying pretty low and slow. It was about 300 feet up in the air and I could not see its color. It was flying south and in a straight line but then started flying sideways. It soon went out of sight.

Reported: 2016-11-28 19:30 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: American Canyon, CA, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

This was a very large objuect in the sky and other autos stopped to check it out. I stopped in the middle of the road.

driving my car to the store and looked up to see a chevron shaped craft overhead. approximately 300 feet in the air with blinking lights on the two ends. very low and going very slow. I stopped in the middle of the street to watch where it was headed but it was too slow and I was sitting in traffic. Others had to see it.

I then drove to the store and bought something. I was in the store for about 5 minutes and drove back to my house. The craft was still overhead, a little further away but it was hovering in mid air. I then ran back inside my home to report this.

I have seen quite a few unidentified objects recently and wonder if it has anything to do with the power station across the street from my house.

Duration:

Location: American Canyon, CA, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

There were two crafts miles from each other.The first one we saw would stop and go,stop and go. Suddenly we saw a second craft it just sat in one place while the other moved. They both had an orange glow. As the first one stoped the second one dimmed it's lights then droped some thing then turned the lights back on. Then it split in two and disappeared. After that the first one split in two and disappeared and thats all we saw.Oh ya,when the second craft split in two it kinda sparkled like glitter. It scares me to think what they might of dropped. I have an idea to where they dropped what ever it is they dropped.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness at length, and she seemed quite credible and believable. PD

I SAW A TRIANGULAR SHAPED CRAFT AND I SAW INSIDE OF IT.

WE WERE LOOKING AT HAIL BOP AND MY SON SAID LOOK AT THAT,I WAS LOOKING THROUGH BINOCKLURES AND SAW A TRIANGULAR SHAPED CRAFT WITH WINDOWS,YA WINDOWS. IT HAS TAKEN ME YEARS TO TELL ANYONE BECAUSE WHAT I SAW IN THE CRAFT SCAIRED THE HELL OUT OF ME. IT MADE NO SOUNDS,AFTER A SHORT TIME IT TURNED WEST AND IT WENT AWAY FAST.



NUFORC Note:

Date may be approximate. We think that Hale-Bopp was most visible from North America in late March 1997, but that is only an estimate based on memory. PD
