Thought it was a bright star at first. Then the light moved down close to the trees. It moved around the mountains for about 4 to 5 minutes. We recently had a forest fire so you can see for a distance through a once dence forest. It move right over my property. I waved and then it was gone. It has a circular shape but was a very bright light as well. I was not sure who to report it to until I found your website.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 3315
Occurred: 1998-03-09 19:40 Local
Reported: 1998-03-11 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Butte County, CA, USA

Shape: Light


A single star-like object moved in straight line, west to east, traversing overhead from horizon begining to horizon ending within 18-20 seconds. Object stopped suddenly on 4-5 occassions for 1-2 seconds intervals and resumed course. Est. speed 25-30,000 mph. Similar witnessing by 4 Nat'l Guard members of 184th Air Assault while on patrol within 80 miles of this location apx 8-9 weeks early. Saw 4 similar lights that departed in opposing directions after travelling for some distance in a high speed straight line formation. Radical high speed 90 degree turn.

I was setting up my telescope ( huge 12.5 Meade light bucket ) with 20 year old son-in-law. Night was especially clear and we were using my wide angle lense for moon viewing. While I was focused on moon, SIL said, "Hey whats that!" I turned, followed his pointing and coming overhead was a fast moving object. It appeared slightly slower than a falling comet, but faster than any jet. It was a single dot of white light that went in a straight line, but stopped, started and repeated this several times while I wheeled my telescope around to catch a glimps of it. My SIL kept it in constant view by his naked eye and I aligned the Dobson mount and pointed the scope skyward at the object. It was nearly at the end of the horizon when I believe I caught a glimps of it. It was only a fraction of a second, but I believe it was longer than it was wide and bright metalic. No other detail could be determined. While explaining this to a friend the next day I was advised he was 1 of 4 on patrol at apx 0400 hrs. in foothills about 90 miles away. All 4 guardsmen observed 4 star-like objects flying high overhead until they shot away in different directions. The were stunned. In both cases we believe the object/s was extraordinarely high and there was no noise. Sorry no other detail, just the pin point appearance of a distant start moving fast! Very fast. FYI: Beale AFB close by both sightings. Also I am former pilot. This was not a comet, strongly doubt it was a satellite, NOT a balloon or aircraft. Served aboard navy missile tracker. I know what rockets and sats look like. Have no idea what this was. I am not at all interested in having my name linked to some UFO sighting... no thanks, but I will at least share this story for what its worth. Its 100% true, unembellished fact. In closing I would not have believed the Guard story if I had not seen this first, even though the witness its extremely credible. He seemed as astonished as I was. He was in Nevada county at the time, just above Yuba County! where Beale AFB is located. Beale is a U-2 base and former SR-71 base.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 55683
Occurred: 1977-06-01 22:00 Local
Reported: 2007-03-12 17:08 Pacific
Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Butte Meadows (near), CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Strange light beamed straight down over our campfire. There was no sound.

My family's old cabin is located at the 5000 ft elevation level in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It rests in a small valley surrounded by hills on both sides and a small creek runs about 30 feet to the east.

Late in the evening, what looked like a helicopter search light suddenly beamed straight down over our campfire. My husband noticed it first. He said, "((name deleted)), it's a UFO! There's no sound!" The margins of the light were well defined and shined from about 80 feet up at tree top level. After about 10 seconds it began "searching" the area in a mechanical sort of way. It shined on us for about 10 seconds and disappeared. I could not see the shape of the craft due to the brightness of the light. There was never any sound. My husband was terrified but calmed down quickly. I remained calm the entire time and told him that there must be a logical explanation for this. There was an eerie quietness in the air afterwards I felt slightly whoozy. Soon after the incident we went to bed. My husband made mention that it was very weird. Oddly, we never spoke of it to each other again. That was about thirty years ago. It wasn't until recently that I came to realized just how strange that whole event was including our odd behavior afterwards. It is especially strange in view of the fact that I find the subject of UFOs facinating and always have. I don't know what to make of it.




NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
