We live in the woods in Boulder Creek. Sitting in the hottub with my wife, I saw a craft moving through the trees about a 100' in altitude going approximately 35mph. Square 4'x 4'x 8" white lights on all 4 corners, no noise completely silent.

There was not enough time for my wife to turn around before it disappeared into the woods. Very unusual.

One low flying oval craft splits into 2 in distance at noon, no lights. Then 3rd round craft hovered & vanished 3 holes & 1 red center hole

One oval object flew over Boulder creek town about 4 to 5 hundred feet reported by two boys age 10 witnessing from the towns Elementry school campus. One boy said it split into two as if one was above the other after it rapidly flew by above him. The two oval create positioned themselves on each side of airplane that was flying estimate over a mile away as they disappeared over the mountains in an easterly direction. The other boy only saw one craft around the plane because of the trees blocking his view as the plane and craft vanished over the mountain.

School was in process and the one boy that witnessed the split into two after leaving the bathroom to return to class in his first few steps looked up to see a round craft heading very slow southbound with 4 holes underneath 3 w one red hole in the center he claims looked like a red laser (maybe power source) though couldn't describe the beam he said came out that didn't hit the ground like a laser beam but more of a laser light. Red anyway and was very low above the huge redwood trees and was directly over his head no sound either like it may have been 30 ft dia then it shot straight up and disappeared. He said it vanished before it went high enough to disappear. The first oval object had no holes underneath had to be traveling 60 mph plus and he felt when flew over was 20 ft in length and 12 ft -15 ft wide. To me this was an amazing account claims of sighting.

I have throughly questioned these boys to see if the stories changed or if any inconsistencies on two separate days. They have not told anyone or kids at thier school as afraid of ridicule. I asked-the one boy that had the first craft fly over him low what did he think and he replied he thought it was a huge drone. Then he thought it was some craft from Lockheed which they have a facility within 3 miles up the mountain in Bonnie Doon in the near west direction. Then he felt they where trying to attack the plane. And ! the round craft he said it was mostly blocked by the tall tree! branche s. He didn't get scared e was just trying to make out what he was seeing. No others witnessed that round craft that shot up. I went to the school with these boys and they explained their sighting and all made sense.in perspective accounts of the observation points.

Shape: Sphere


At 20:10ish on 09/24/14 the object in question was flying at an altitude approximately 500' - 1000' from a Northwesterly direction. It was an orange sphere that made "ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE". It seemed to slow down, speed up and slightly change direction as though it was looking for something; I must note that these direction and velocity transitions were smooth and controlled. The object decelerated and emitted a very bright orange light as it passed directly overhead. When it got a few hundred yards passed my location the light dimmed as it accelerated towards the south out of my sight.

White balls of light with one orange ball

From the summit of the Santa Cruz mountains looking down into Boulder Creek area saw 5 or 6 white balls of light bouncing or dancing around getting very bright and big, then getting dimmer. Bright and dim getting bigger and smaller and bigger…

Also a small round dimmer orange ball of light off to the side.

I watched for around 10 minutes at 4:00AM.

Shape:


Single point of light moving across the sky from southwest to northeast at about 9:20 PM Pacific DST.

It was a single point of light moving from the south west to the north east. The point was moving much too fast for a satellite or a modern airliner. Nor were there any associated blinking wing or tail lights.

My guess is that it is a derelict satellite in very low orbit about to burn up on the next several revolutions of earth. The weather radar didn't pick it up, either.

2 objects nearly same time-A large rectangular object flashing and a glowing white sphere

A older report, but had to report as it has been bugging me ever since, afraid to report at first. I swear on all my grandparent's graves at what I saw. May god strike me down if I am lying.

I was walking southward that evening down my steps in my backyard, didn't see anything odd, but felt compelled to look up. Right when I looked up, above me, saw a huge, giant glowing rectangle above me very high up, perhaps stratosphere, no clouds. Hard to say how huge but, I think it was very, very high up, seemingly as high as the stars, but I think stratosphere. Massive, at my sight, from my perspective, at it that high up it was 3 or 4in long and 2in tall.

Object was itself bright and glowing, not sending light out, but itself only, no reflective light, as if it were some energy light. It was 3/4 left side fluorescent white, glowing and fluorecent blue 1/4 on right side, perfectly, vertically seperated by a line of both colors glowing as one. Hard to explain. It flashed brightly, and disappeared, then in a fraction of a second before I could think about what I was seeing, it reappeared to the left, or south, about 6feet from my perspective, but obvioulsy quite a far distance that far up. I yelled to a friend to come out and see, I wanted to tell him to grab the camera, but didn't want him to miss it.

In the interim, it flashed again, and again, reappeared to the left of it's position as it was moving southward. Just before my friend arrived at the outside door, it then flashed again, dissapeared and then a giant sphere of fluoresecent white light, brighter than the moon (which I could not see that night, tall redwoods around me), brighter and bigger than anything I have ever seen, other than the moon, in the night sky appeared almost like a super nova, glowed brightly and then shot off like a bullet to the west, over Big Basin State Park, flying above hwy 236. The rectangle had gone, it seemed as if it became the sphere after it flashed the third time.

My friend missed the whole thing, a very short period of time elapsed, but much happened.

Thank you for your time.

Bight point of light drifting slowly over the Monterey Bay 1/6/07

At about 16:30 on 1/6/07 in Boulder Creek CA I noticed a point of light very high in the south east sky at roughly 120 degrees by compass. At first I thought it to be a star or planet but then realized it was much too early. The sun, albeit low on the horizon, was still up.

While laying on my back with a small pair of binoculars I watched for some 10 more minutes. The object still appeared as a point of a bright white/blue light. I couldn't hold the binoculars steady enough to make out a shape. At times it appeared slightly circular but I can't be certain of that point.

I briefly pulled the binoculars away to watch with the naked eye. All this while the object was ever so slowly drifitng toward the northwest. After perhaps a minute the object winked out. I quickly resumed the observation with the binoculars and found that the single point of light had seperated into two points of light. These two points were moving away from one another. Within the next 30 seconds I lost the visuals altogether.

I thought this might be a high altitude weather balloon so I started a search on the San Francisco/Monterey National Weather Service. By chance I checked the the Short Range Composite Radar Loop and noted that there were 4 very strange echoes detected at frames 16:27 (PST), 16:37, 16:46, and 16:56 on the MUX radar. The echoes were detected to the west and had a generally northern movement. I couldn't save the radar images but I did manage a screen print of the 16:27 image.

I then checked the winds aloft on the NWS website and found that the winds from the surface up to 42,000 feet were all generally blowing NW to SE. So if this was a balloon it had to be much, much higher in the atmosphere where the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. I then sent an email to the Answers@NOAA describing the situation and if they might think it to be a very high altitude balloon. They had no idea.

So I'm sending this along to you. Later that same evening when Orion rose over the horizon I tried using the stars Rigel and Aldeberan to estimate the approximate positions of this light and it's motion through the sky. By this rough estimation I concluded that the object was first seen at about +5 degrees declination (above the ecliptic). It then drifted roughly -1 hour of right acension to about +15 degrees declination over the course of 15 minutes.

Sorry that's the best I can do, and moreover I was home alone.

Extremely huge, very slow moving object seen in the sky by 7 witnesses.

I was babtsitting for neighbors and as they were coming in the house, the mother called out, from outside, for us to come outside to look.

We all went outside. In the sky was a completly black bicycle horn shaped UFO. It had a large round shape in the back with a cylinder in the middle and cone shape in front of that. Out of the cone shaped front was shining a huge light.

The UFO appeared to be about the size of a football field, or maybe a little bigger even. It was moving extremely slowly and was hanging very low in the sky, much lower then normal aircraft. We all stood there with our mouths open for easily 15 minutes watching in silence as it moved in slow increments across a very short distance.

Suddenly the "front" light went out and maybe two or three seconds later the now completely dark shape disintegrated like ashes. Particules just seemed to hang in the air for a few more seconds and then there was nothing. After maybe a few seconds we all erupted with sound, confirming that we had all seen it. What we had seen, etc.

The father went in and called the police who, after several phone calls told him that they had some report that some air force base was conducting test flights of some craft they had. The only air force base at the time was many many miles away and to this day I do not believe that we have the capacity to hold an object that huge in the air nor have it move that slowly with out it crashing, much less the fact that it completely disintegrated into nothing.

I saw the craft slowly and silently gliding along a fire trail in the Santa Cruz mountians where I usually went on walks to chant on my beads. I was down-hill when I noticiced this metallic blue-silver, brighter than neon light with no windows. The light didn't light up the surrounding area but was extremely brilliant. I was chanting at the time I saw it and I wasn't afraid. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to tell about it as my husband wouldn't believe me when I told him.
