Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Triangle of lights flashing red and green. It didn’t look like the airplanes I normally see - the triangle had more points of light

A triangle of lights, flashing red and green. All lights in the triangle shape would flash red, then green, rather than some flash red then some flash green. I live near an airport so I see the airplanes landing normally, but this seemed different. There was no sound, and the shape/pattern of the lights was like an equidistant triangle, rather than lights on just the wings and tail that i am used to seeing with the commercial airplanes. Normally when something flies that low there is a sound, but in this case I could not hear anything. Perhaps it was bigger and flying higher? However the size was quite large, if it was flying high it must have been big.

20+ "string" of lights that were "chasing" ea. other & were equally distanced from 1 another as they chased each ot

I was meeting up with my daughter after she left work, to drop off my 4 year old grandson. We always meet in a secluded side road off the 101 Freeway and Los Berros Road off ramp.

There are very few lights in this area so I told my grandson we should get out of the car to look at all the stars since it was so dark out.

As we looked up into the sky there was a "string" of lights traveling fast in a NW direction. I quickly tried to count them and there must have been over 20 lights. All in a straight row; evenly spaced going across the sky.

I tried to grab a video with my very out-dated phone, but NOTHING should up when I played it back.

The straight "string" of lights looked like a row of cars that were traveling on a one lane highway; equally spaced apart; traveling at a high rate of speed. No sound at all. My grandson said, "That's weird" and I agreed. I am a 69 year old woman and I do not drink or take any drugs and I have never seen anything like that!

round clored lights in the sky

Last night, at around 10pm, myself and one other member of my family witnessed numerous round objects in the sky that were filled with allumunating colered lights-blue-red-yellow. The lights would twinkle on and off almost like watching a ferris wheel as the objects changed shape and form.

The objects were to big to be stars and were amazing to look at with binoculars.

There were also displays of whited lights shooting through the clouds and then just disappearing.






NUFORC Note:

Possible sighting of "twinkling" stars, we wonder. PD

On Dec. 11 and 12 i witnessed a craft flying over my house around 10:30at night . I called my friend told her what i had seen and she was amazed of my story . The very next evening same time it came back and she took three pictures. it was no more than 2000 ft. above us . It sounded like thunder as it flew by. Completely illuminated must have been the size of a football fiel;d or bigger. I was astounded by this , but what really blew our minds was the structure on top of the triangle. It was emmense perhaps a mile in length . so much detail to explain but our questions have been answered about where the orbs are coming from .

We have pictures of orbs docking on this aircraft carrier. some one must contact us immediately. We have answers

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Left a trail

Two bluish-green lights moving NNE over Arroyo Grande, CA at unbelievable speed.

On January 18, 2010, over Arroyo Grande, CA at 8:55 PM my assistant and I watched two lights flying eastward, approximately NNE. Both lights were bright and bluish-green.

One light was three times as wide as a “falling star”; the other light was a pinpoint, but completely observable. No sound.

The smaller light was below and to the left of the large light and remained in the same position as they moved. The large light left a trail from almost overhead (when first observed) to disappearance. The small light left no real trail.

They covered the distance from overhead to horizon (disappearance) in, say, less than 1/10th of a second. The disappearance judged to be two hand widths high.

The sky was clear; stars clearly seen. Both witnesses are adults. The lights were too blue and too fast to be from my planet.

triangular shape with colorful lights hovering above oceano dunes, oceano, california

outside my bedroom window i noticed a very bright light, very still, yet hovering in a slow motion type movement. i called my 20 year old son to come into my room and see what i was seeing. he and i both were totally amazed and quite excited to see such a sight. we then awoke his 19 year old girlfriend to see. my son got his binoculars and we agreed that this was a triangular shape with bright colorful lights; bright orange, green, purple, red and blue. it hovered up, down, and would move to the left in a very slow pace. this sighting was southwest of where we lived, approximately over oceano dunes, in oceano, california above the ocean. it did not seem too high up in the sky, as it just seem to hover for about an hour.

Mysterious light observed near Vandenberg AFB

My co-worker and I were southbound on the 101 and we both noticed a shimmer of light approximately 30 degrees off of the southern horizon. Neither of us responded, believing it to be a reflection of a distant aircraft. Until it grew in intensity and it changed its shape; now an elongated diamond-shape. This 'flare' lasted about 15 seconds and gradually faded, the entire time holding its position.

After 3 minutes the light abruptly dropped about 10 degrees downward and slowly fade out. The interesting thing was that we knew our heading and we knew that due south, precisely where this mysterious light shone, is Vandenberg Air Force Base.

observed Angel Hair type UFO

On or about October 11, 2004 at 2 pm I noticed a UFO flying over head about 30,000 feet AGL above my avocado orchard. It was flying north at around 200 to 300 mph in a northerly direction which stayed in view for less than a minute. A 747 was flying near by, leaving a long contrail and heading south parallel to the UFO. The UFO didn’t make any sound as it passed over. The UFO was round and bright and gleamed like the suns rays were bouncing off of it. As it flew over I could see that some type of white mass was protruding from all around the UFO in a clockwise position at a very slow spin compared to its speed. The UFO was too high to determine if it was shedding the white material or not. It was hard to believe what I saw until I got my October issue of UFO magazine a few days after the sighting. On page 63 Ann Druffel tells about Angel Hair and Fluorescence.

This I believe is what I saw in the sky that day.

We spoke with this witness at length, and we found him to be exceptionally credible. PD

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Changed Colo

Sphere of light traveling quickly across the sky at dusk, yellow, orange, white with a long trail behind.

The sphere was heading south or southeast and disappeared into the sky or behind the hills.

It is hard to know how high or large or fast this object was but it did not resemble any object I have ever seen and was large enough and odd enough to make me stop driving and not want to go in the same direction it was traveling. My three daughters who were with me also saw it. I made several phone calls, trying to find out what it was and was sure many others would have seen it and that it would be on the news. I was dismissed. Probably they thought I was crazy.

lights in the sky.

Ok another wierd light lastnight.if anyone saw this just after 8 let me know or someone help me out this was wierd lastnight.i was waiting for a friend looking at bats fly in the sky and the first stars come out.A light moving in a south east motion was going acros the sky. I know it wasnt an airplane but i really thought it to be a satelite.I watch it go across the horizon untill it disapairs.Then about 3 minuets after that another one catches my eye,going same direction,same pace, just a light moving acros the sky.I thought wierd i never really seen satelites like that.At this time in not really hiped up about seeing all that because i think it could have been satelites.i was more mad because ive been waiting for like 15 20 mins outside.So i pace around look at more bats in the sky looking north.Then a blue comet type fireball thats seemed to skip on water buzzed by,not super bright but it was wierd,a blue fireball type thing.i thought wow thats really wierd,maybe im tired.But that had all my attention on the sky.Now not even a minute after i see that fireball another light goes racing acros the sky,much faster than the sattelites but same direction,exept this on was pulsating bright to very faint,that made me run in and get my cousin,she came out and looked at it to for about the last 30 seconds we could see it int he sky.My cousin even said wow that was pretty wierd and as were looking up another faint light goes in a north west direction,pulsating also but still staying pretty faint.that one was going real slow also i saw it for about 4 minuets buzz its way over the ocean.after that i didnt see anything and my cousin went inside because it was getting chilly.Also my frined came by.I hope someone here in South San Luis Obispo county seen it or someone let me know what all these strange lights are.i belive in UFO's and have been seeing alot here.

3 disks flying silently at high speeds, stopped to hover, then climbed out of the atmosphere.

my friend and i were on the swings during recess at our school. We had been friends for a few years. We looked up at the sky. the day was sunny, with several small clouds in the area. we then saw what seemed to be a small black blob aproaching us at a high speed. as it got closer we saw that there were three suacer shaped craft. they were black with a red circle in the middle with a red ring around that. they hovered for several seconds silently. there were no contrails or any indication of the signs of an internal combustion engine. they began to climb slowly at first but then getting faster and faster until we could not see them anymore. they had clearly gone out of the atmosphere.

Duration: 4 hours
No of observers: 3

Location: Arrayo Grande, CA, USA

Shape: Oval


These sightings were ten years apart and exactly the same type of craft, wich I have seen since then in photos of sightings on the web.

I saw this silvery object in sky. It was oval, but more rounded on top. It hovered very high in the same spot for about 3 or 4 hours. We would go in the house and watch tv and come out hours later and it was still there. It was very high up and after some years passed, I kind of dismissed it. Then, about ten years later I was walking with my three year old son in a park in a neighboring city and saw the exact same thing, only this time the craft was much lower in altitude and there were three of them. These craft were moving slowly across the sky. They were exactly the same as the original ten years prior. Two of them were close and a third was farther away from the other two. The single one seemed to be leading the other two. They were all the same. Silvery, almost looked like a drop of mercury if you broke open a thermometer. Rounded edges, not like a saucer but more like a mushroom top. Only smooth and sheeny. They reflected alot of light like a mirror or highly polished aluminum or chrome. These sightings were ten years apart and exactly the same kind of craft. They were silent and seemed to produce no exhaust of any kind. Both sightings were in broad daylight and of sound and sober composition on my behalf.
