It dipped down and crossed the sky and shot upwards and vanished within 5 seconds. About 2 minutes prior heard 2 military jets but could not see them, they seemed to be going in the same direction as the lights that were seen. Also no running lights seen on the craft , just the 2 blue green lights. Hope some one else saw this too.

Soundless cigar shaped object, dim lighting.

My husband first saw the cigar shaped object in the sky. He ran in and got me. When I made it outside all I could catch was the back end of it going over the tree tops. Through the trees I could see a dim flickering, almost like the paper lanterns, there was no sound, and the object was huge, at least the size of a greyhound bus. This has been about the 3rd time since the beginning of summer since we have seen these objects. Was not able to get clear video.

They were in he shape of a triangle with an orange light at each tip. After a few minutes one of the lights went out, followed by the other two. They didn't change locations or make any sound, just disappeared.

Cone of light, bright blue contrail and symmetrical vapor cloud observed over Campbell from hazy moving point of light

At 7pm observed what I thought was helicopter search light: a cone of light coming down at an angle surrounding a bright blue straight trail. At the point where cone of light originated a large, symmetrical ovoid cloud of vapor then appeared. The cone of light stopped but the bright blue trail remained visible as a hazy point of light separated from the vapor cloud. The hazy point of light slowly continued moving up and to the West without a trail although the initial bright streak of blue and symmetrical cloud where it originated could still be seen and shown to other observers.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

On November 03, 2015 at approximately 1950 hours, while working in the capacity of a police officer, myself (Detective Sergeant) and two other officers (both K-9 officers) witnessed several bright green lights in the sky.

While standing on Wilson Ave. and Snyder on the boarder of Campbell and Struthers, Ohio, witnesses observed 2 triangular shaped objects in the northwest sky. Witness B was the first to notice them and advised the other two witnesses. All looked to the northwestern sky to see 2 seemingly equilateral triangular-shaped objects with lights at each angle. The lights appeared to be an unwavering bright lime-green, with one light forward and the other two in the rear.

Due to the limited amount of stars in the night sky, witnesses were unable to determine at this time if the objects were solid or not. The 2 triangular objects were traveling at a very low speed from northeast to southwest. The two objects were also traveling very close together. At this time the 2 objects had crossed over the Wilson Ave. reference point when witnesses observed a single, lime-green in color, orb-like object following the same flight path, but seemingly lower than the other two. At this time t! he two triangular shaped objects further crossed the Mahoning River reference point, and began to spread out. The lead tip light stayed slightly ahead while the two rear lights moved up and further apart, causing an almost straight-line appearance. The lone orb-light object still trailed in the same flight path and slow speed.

As the object flew farther away, witnesses retrieved a pair of binoculars to view the objects. All that could be observed were the lime-green lights, no structure or other characteristics. The objects were observed in the same almost straight-line pattern until they traveled so far that they could not be viewed with the binoculars. Witnesses attempted to obtain pictures and video with their cell phone cameras, however due to the objects altitude and distance from the witnesses, the lower focal power of the cameras could not pick up the objects. Due to the single object being of the same characteristics of the lights that created the triangular shape then broke apart, all witnesses believe that there were seven object in total.

All witnesses agreed that they had never seen aerial crafts with these characteristics before. All three witnesses have extensive law enforcement careers and all three are military veterans with extensive service time. One witness is a current MUFON Field Investigator.

It is also to be noted that the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport/Vienna Airbase (1453 Youngstown Kingsville Rd Vienna, OH 4447) is approximately 14 miles north of the sighting. This region is also a very busy travel route for commercial and military planes arriving and departing at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport/Vienna Airbase and the Pittsburgh International Airport.

During the sighting, which lasted approximately 9-10 minutes, there were several commercial airplanes flying in several different directions and altitudes over the immediate area.

Unexplained disappearing explosion-esque orb of light sighted in suburbia.

On the night of September 6th, 2015, I witnessed an object I couldn't explain. As I was watching a show on my phone whilst laying on my patio furniture, I saw a small orb of light out of the corner of my eye. It grew to the size of an eraser on the end of an eraser, relative to my vision of course. There was considerable distance between myself and the object, probably around the same altitude an airplane reaches during the middle of their flight. The object did not move, it merely hovered and pulsated. When I finally focused om the object, it swelled to its full orb-like appearance, then slowly receded into nothingness. I searched the sky for the next 5 minutes, waiting for it to reappear, to show me that it was just a plane light, but it mever did.

The object was the shape of an orb, or possibly a fireball. I found myself describing it like an explosion contained by a very strong, yet clear glass. It was a burnt orange color with a white core, as far as I could tell. It produced no discernible sound, no engines, motors, rotors, anything. Just the light.

The sky was clear, no cloud coverage or much smog. I could see the stars, which is why seeing this orb confused me so much. This occured above a suburban apartment complex near a main thoroughfare.

It began to pick up speed, flying in a southeastern direction and ascending rapidly.

Before long it flickered and faded out of sight and into the stars.

Near Youngstown, OH- Triangle / Lights on all sides / warm, radiant, shining light / rapid descent / slow, hovering / SILENT

We were driving along a main road in our city at about 8:24 PM EST yesterday. My passenger and I saw what looked to be a very bright star in the night sky, and noticed it was slowly decreasing its altitude. It descended from the sky until it was what seemed like right above our car. I could make out an unusual shape from our sunroof. It was a triangle-shaped object with bright light surrounding all sides.

The light was not a cool blue, but a warmer light. It was radiant- as if for a moment someone had shined a flashlight in your eyes. We know it was no plane or helicopter as there was dead silence above us. It was moving very slowly, still quite a distance away. For it to descend that fast only to "hover" above the road before moving away in the opposite direction is a very odd thing for a plane or helicopter to do.

Campbell, CA. Sky Watch Report

I watch the sky on a subconscious level – very thoroughly and passionately, very focused on the basic layout of the night and day skies around me – it’s innate, I believe.

I have never seen anything out of the ordinary in the night sky – not for one out of any of the millions of seconds that my eyes have spent glued upwards, lost in the majesty of it all – have I spied anything that even remotely tickled my senses and made some primal alarm go of in the recesses of my modernized human brain, as I experienced late last night in my own backyard.

I went out to smoke a cigarette around 11:30pm, before heading to sleep. This is routine for me, and the routine does not ever include the porch light at that hour, so it remains a very darkly lit routine.

As I earlier noted, I have some built-in awareness of the sky in general, having spent so much time looking at its diagram and the layout of the stars, etc. Last night, as I stepped outside, I was struck immediately by an unfamiliar “star” to the east from me, northeastwardly somewhere. Upon closer observation, I saw that it was in no way a star, as it was flashing four primary colors in sequence (not necessary in any particular order that I ever tracked though), just: blue, green, orange, red; and white – bright white – also.

I called my roommate outside to show him, as I was taken aback by what I was seeing, especially after I determined that this object was not only indeed, flashing colors – but also was seeming to move in the fashion of being pulled in opposite directions at once – never really making any substantial progress in place.

It remained more or less, in the same location for at least twenty minutes while we watched it through the scope at low mag. The colors were definitely confirmed that way as well by both observing parties. The magnification also made apparent, the general nature of the object as well. It was observed at numerous points in time as an unnaturally bright white – to color-changing “fireball” traveling at an extremely slow and steady speed across the distant night sky.

Several common aircraft were seen flying in between the location of the object and myself at usual altitudes, creating the appearance of the object marinating a shockingly steady and almost stationary position and an exceptional altitude of its own.

It remained for as long as I could stay awake – just gradually traveling across the sky in a southward surge that only became apparent at the end of my observations. It was still flashing brightly, had not dimmed at all, all the same colors and appearance as it had when I first spotted it. It was mind boggling and amazing, it was scary as hell. I am still kind of in shock.

We were sitting on our porch our friend was sitting with us around 20:00. He noticed a amber light in sky it wasn't moving. It then took off slowly. Than we noticed another one in a different location.this one was not moving. It was frightening. It stayed about 10 minutes.

I took my iPhone out and took a picture. When we magnified the picture it seemed to be shaped like an airplane. No sound came out just amber light.

Two orange lights slowly move across the sky.

My girlfriend and I were just backing out of the driveway, when she spotted a bright orange light in the sky. I got out of the car and filmed some of the event with my phone's camera.

We watched as it lazily moved across the sky, in a slow arc from low on the southwest horizon in a northerly direction towards the center of the sky. It slowed down and seemed to stop moving as it approached the center of the sky, at least from our perspective.

I thought maybe it was a satellite, like the International Space Station (due to its brightness). Having seen the ISS on several occations, I can say it was similar in apparent size and brightness, although the object we saw was definitely not the ISS. It was too slow, it moved in a curve, it was a fiery orange color, and it was flickering like a bright star.

As it started to dim, another one appeared where the first had started. The first one faded, then brightened for an instant, then disappeared. The other one followed suit, fading, brightening, then disappearing. It seemed to follow the same flight path as the first. No other obects were sighted.

2 Visable fireballs in night sky in Campbell, CA

UFO Sighting: Saturday, August 6, 2011; Campbell, CA

Approximately 8:45PM (PST) my friends’ 5th grade son points out an object in the sky that he thinks is a shooting star. The object is about 317 degrees NW in the sky, according to my iPhone compass.

We continued to watch the object grow closer for about 2 more minutes when we realized that it wasn’t making any noise. It also appeared to be glowing orange and had a circular shape. It seemed like it was a glowing fireball.

But as it passed overhead at about 252 degrees W, we realized that it seemed to slow down and the glow started to dim. As it began to disappear out of sight at 150 degree’s SE, the sphere was barely visible but was no longer glowing.

It took approximately 5 minutes to cross the sky all together.

t appeared to be flying a little higher that a normal commercial aircraft would fly. We were located in a suburban area in Campbell, California, that is well lit so we did not see very many stars out but it began as a pretty clear night. This was very bright! in the night sky.

As soon as it was almost out of view, we began hearing aircraft. First was a large military, twin-engine craft, then a helicopter with a search light then military fighter jets. Growing up near Moffitt Field, I know the sounds of the high-speed planes.

Ten to fifteen minutes passed and a second bright orange ball headed towards us again. It had the same bright glowing light, the same directionality and the same silence. Unlike the first object, military planes were quickly following this one. A larger twin-engine plane and this time 2 fighter jets. Noticeably the planes were flying lower than the objects.

Unfortunately, the fog began rolling in from the west and obstructed our view of the rest of the events.
But before the object disappeared into the fog, we noticed that it had also begun to dim as the first one had.

I’m not a technical person but I did record the images on my iPhone to view later. As I was recording the images I noted that the object appeared to be the size of a dime in the night sky, where my iPhone video made it seem like a pin spot.

There were 3 adults and 6 children all together watching this event.

Triangle UFO over San Joes, CA 12/2010

I was on my 2nd floor patio having a cigarette looking at the stars. All of a sudden I heard what sounded like a low, deep hum of what I thought was a cessna sitting on a runway just running the engine. I kept watching to the north where it was coming from. After about 10-15 seconds, two bright white lights appeared over the top of the next building, and heading towards over my building heading south. It appeared to be at about 500 feet above. I watched it was my jaw dropped. I was not scared of it, and in fact felt really comfortable, and even peace. As it slowly, but continuously floated overhead, I noticed that it was a triangle! The front was like two "headlights". They were in the front of it, not below it. And as it was right above me, I noticed the back of the craft (triangle) had a light at that end also. There were no lights underneath it. The lights were reflecting the undercarriage where I noticed that it appeared to be a whitish-grey color. I noticed some detail on it's belly like what looked like a long pipe running up one of the sides of the belly. It didn't stop, or use any kind of spot lights. It just kept moving south until it moved completly over my building, and out of my sight.

The total amount of time that passed from start to finish was about two minutes. I looked at the clock as soon as I couldn't see it anymore, and it said 11:00pm California time. After that, I couldn't get to sleep so I just laid in bed.

At about 12:15am, I heard that same exact sound again, and just laid there. I didn't know whether to get up and go look, or stay in bed where it was warm... I stayed in bed and now regret it. I heard it for 15 minutes before it slowly got quieter, then complete silence. I wish I had not made the decision to stay in bed. What if this really was a UFO? That was a one-in-a-million chance.

Nearby, there is Mountain View, CA where there used to be a NASA base. However, they do not test anything there. Up in the nearby Santa Cruz mountains, there is a secret military base where only God knows what goes on. There was nothing in the sky before the sighting, and nothing after.

I am wondering if anybody else saw this? It was realatively early as there was still alot of cars driving on the streets, etc.

Two mutli colored lights appearing to be outside atmosphere moving very slow then fading away

On Saturday morning at 0145 Dec. 19, 2009 I saw two bright multi colored lights (red, green and blue) in the sky. They moved very slowly from south to southwest. I know they were not planes or helicopters, they moved too slowly. I do know a little about astronomy, the ISS and space shuttles. I make it a habit to know when the shuttle is orbiting with the ISS and watch for it. Point being I could tell these two objects were very high in the sky and did not seem to be within our atmosphere.

This lasted about ten minutes. When I noticed them they were almost in line with each other. One was on the left, the other to the right but a little below. The one on the right moved very slowly from the right towards the bottom of the other while it was motionless. Once in line straight up and down, they both traveled from south to southwest very slow then slowly faded away as you would see the shuttle do when it leaves the reflection of the sun.

What I thought was interesting was that they faded away while moving to the west towards the suns light. It also may be that they only appeared to move to the west. It may be possible that they were going deeper into space.

This occurred in the town of Campbell, Ca. I am hoping someone else saw the same thing from a long distance away. This would prove that these objects were in space.

While looking off our balcony, we saw a stationary bright light that after a few minutes dimmed and started moving at increasing speeds

At 10:45 p.m., we were having a conversation in our living room. I then noticed a bright light in the sky, and we went outside on our 3rd floor balcony to see what it was.

At first we believed it was a plane flying straight towards us, but we then noticed other planes in the air. This light was much brighter than anything we had ever seen in the sky at night before and much lower than any plane I’ve seen fly in our area.

It made absolutely no noise and appeared to be two lights connected together.

We grabbed my digital camera and took three pictures and one video. The light kept its brightness and didn’t move from its original position in the sky for approx 4 minutes.

At 10:49 p.m., it began to dim, move left, and increase in altitude. Once it gained a bit of altitude, the object leveled off and started to pick up speed. It then began illuminating brighter again. We recorded this part on my Cannon digital camera.

The object continued to travel leftwards in the sky and then decreased in altitude. It moved behind a tall building in the distance. At this point the object was the brightest that we had seen it. It moved out of our vision while leaving us frightened and confused.

The "wings" seemes to move forward and back. They alomost looked like 2 large birds flying togeather but they were VERY big and VERY high in the sky. Made no noise (like you would expect of a jet fighter). They flew and looked odd. Would have gotten camera but it was moving to fast and seemed to blend well with the sky.

Bright orange light in the sky

I was taking out the garbage when I noticed a bright orange light in the western sky. I called for my wife and we watched it hang in the air. It seemed to move in different directions in small increments and change brightness. This is the third time I have seen this thing. The other two times it was to the north. Had me freaked out. I am relieved to know others have seen it as well.

Bright, slow moving orange light in the San Jose area.

As I arrived home, I spotted a intensely bright orange light in the ENE sky at about 60 degrees elevation. Having seen this before, I got my housemate immediately so I could have a witness. The light was moving slowly in a southerly direction, and was consistently decelerating. After moving about 15 degrees in the sky, it came to a stop. My housemate thought it was rising, though I couldn't tell. Using my binoculars (with a large garbage can as a base to steady the binoculars), I viewed the light for 3-4 minutes. There appeared to be a very dim orange light directly above the very bright light, with a distinct gap between the two lights. The light moved slightly in a southwesterly direction, stopped again, then began moving north. After traveling about 5 degrees in the sky, it pulsed once, then disappeared. I watched for another 10 minutes or so, and the light did not reappear. This is the third time that this light has been viewed from this location.

Observation of a intense orange light that rapidly decelerated, then disappeared.

I was outside having a cigarette and staring at the sky (as usual). I noticed an intense orange light low in the southern sky traveling at high speed. I had seen an object similar to this last week that did a right angle turn so I grabbed my binoculars to see if I could see it closer. Within a one-minute period, the object had traveled from above the hills in the south (15-20 degree elevation) to directly west of me (at about 45 degrees elevation), and had slowed to roughly 1/3 of its speed. I could not make out any discernable features either with or without the binoculars. As I was watching it, it disappeared. I continued watching the sky for another two minutes, and the object did not reappear. I am accustomed to aircraft in their approach patterns here, and the speed and light intensity of this object caught my attention immediately because it was not at all similar to aircraft. As a note, I saw an object similar to this last week (earlier in the evening) traveling east to west at a extremely slow speed, and when I saw it make a right angle turn, I ran for the binoculars. When I returned 30 seconds later, it was gone. In both cases, skies were clear, it was several hours after sunset (and before sunrise), and there were no objects blocking my ability to view the object in question.

contrails and lil orbs real pics taken from a hp 735 digital

I took pictures of these.This is going to sound nuts, but hey i saw what i saw.And i took pictures of these three orbs small from my vantage point,steady moving in a direction. I have been observing interesting comtrails from jets, very suspicious contrails to put it lightly. This is when i observed these orbs right over head, moving towards a starta type cloud formation. About the same height a jet will create contrails..



NUFORC Note:

We have looked at the photos forwarded to our Center, and all we see is tiny little objects in the distance, about the size of a single pixel. We have no idea what they are. PD

Bright white/green streak straight into Almaden Valley / Los Gatos area - 5:34pm PST

I was driving South(SW)-bound on Bascom Avenue, immediately south of Hamilton, and directly in front of me, (~0.5-2.0 miles out?), I saw a bright streaking object falling/shooting in what appeared from my vantage point to be straight down. I initially thought it was a shooting star but it continued to shine brightly all the way down and did NOT disappear behind Mt Umhumnum (sp?) or the surrounding mountains. It was very bright, casting a very distinct greenish glow in the air around it. Based on how close it now seemed to me, I gauged it's speed. It seemed faster than a freefall - it seemed to fall @ the same rate of speed at which a professional firework goes up before it explodes. It really looked like an emergency flare, but was falling far too fast. I have been scanning the local news channels and am trying to find more info online to explain this strange sighting. I was alone in the car but believe I saw a few cars around me tap their brakes, weave a little, presumably because they saw the same thing. Me: I am levelheaded and usually prone to skepticism about most UFO sightings. If you saw this too or more importantly can explain it, please email me @ ((e-address deleted))

Pinpoint of light moving far too fast to be a satellite...Also not a meteor because there was no trail......

I saw what looked like a satellite going over head. However the speed at which it was traveling was 2 to 3 times faster than any earth orbiting object that I have ever seen. It traveled from south-east to north-west and I followed it until it went below the horizon. I have witnessed many different earth orbiting objects as well as Comets and meteors. There was NO trail behind the object. Like I said it looked like a satellite but moved far too fast to be that. (Maybe it was an asteroid)?

It can't be a star ,I watched it move a good distance within 5 to 10 min. It stoped , then moved , stoped ,moved, etc. It didnt look still like a star .I know earth doesnt spin that fast to watch movement with naked eye. Plus it seemed to be moving back and forth and side to side. I also thought I could here it, who knows , this is a city. Kind of dis- tant blimp sounding.

same as above . White lights. I dont now the name of stars around it. But all all those stars are basically all still in there same spots.Thats it. It just does not look like a star , I could see it moving .And unlike satilite movement also. Thanks for your time.

Multiple sighting in Campbell CA of spacecraft in detail

About this time in 1981 the following was observed.

There had been sightings of lights and objects reported on the news at the local San Jose Airport. Even some friends were talking about the sitings.

The next night after friends wer etalking we were sitting in a friends car outside of his house listening to the radio when we saw what appeared to be 3 lights go down behind the houses in the horizon. We both freaked and immediately drove in that direction but did not find anything and blew it of.

A couple nights later we again were siting in the car but this time facing north listening to the radio when we saw a bright orange light approaching us. It appeared to be flying very low. My friend said it was a helicopter. Then all of a sudden it began to move back and forth eradictly. We both jumped out of the car as it flew directly overhead. It dimmed its lights and sat there motionless and silent overhead. It slowly turned off its lights and hovered above us. You could see all the detail of the ship. It had an observaton deck on the side and you could see inside a window and I noticed objects moving inside but could not make out any details other then something inside. The craft was probably about 1000 feet in the air. I would estimate that it was about 100 feet long. You could see dark burned looking edges on the craft. It was shaped like a cigar and had half domes in the back side of the craft that spun like gyros. In these gyros there was red and green lights. When the craft departed the gyros began to spin and the craft moved faster as the gyros spun. By this time my friend ran into the house to tell his parents while I just stood there staring. It finally took off and was instantly gone leaving a trail like Star trek. I was obviously freaked out. My friend ran out of the house and explained that his mom and dad were in the house watching the news as they were explaing that peopel were at the airport waiting to see the lights that were spotted the night before. We called the airport and they laughed. So they gave us the UFO report center number. I called and reported the sighting. To my surprise there is no record of our call. i have called back many time to check and checked all over many websites and have yet to see anything about it.

Later that night I went to another friends house to tell him about it. We sat and looked for about an hour but saw nothing. When i got on my motorcycle to go home I noticed the orange ligth again towards the Santa Cruz Mountains. The light appeared to be moving towards my neighborhood again. I drove home quickly parked my bike on the side of the house and ran into the house. I looked out my window and the light was gone.

The next day me and my friend told everyone. Everyone thought we were doing drugs. Even my aprents thought we were crazy or on drugs.

About a wek later I was working as a custodian at a local school when I looked towards Los Gatos and saw the light. I went into a room and came out and it was gone. I was again kind of freaked out about it. I then put away all my equipment and was walking towards my bike when a truck load of friends came flying around the corner. They had just sighted the craft again at another friends house exactly where I was looking from the school. There was also anothe sighting for a short time early one evening but not competely confirmed because it was in a distance.

Shape: Triangle


SUMMARY: Sighting of a pair of triangular UFO's over the SF Bay Area, August 1974

In the summer of 1974, I saw a pair of triangular objects while stargazing with binoculars. At the time, I assumedthat they must have been aircraft. But it's been a long time since then, and I haven't ever seen any airplanes,or whatever, that even remotely resemble the objects I saw.I have just recently gained access to the Web, and being amused by UFO stories, I found my way to a couple of theUFO pages. While browsing at Rutgers, I ran across some reports of "triangular UFO's", which made my hair stand on end. Up to that time, I had not heard of "triangular"UFO's. Here's what I saw in late August, 1974 while Iwas in the backyard of my house in Campbell, CA (South SFBay area).I was laying on the ground, looking through a pair of 20 power binoculars. My feet were pointed east, and the binoculars were pointed slightly to the right of straight up, at about the one o'clock position. Something went through my field of vision, moving right to left. I caught up to it quickly, and saw two objects flying in close formation, one behind and to the right of the one in front.They were both the same size, shaped like equilateral triangles with straight edges, flying point forward. Their color appeared to be flat slate grey, against a deep blacksky. There were no features, and I saw no lights, or glow of any kind. They appeared to be illuminated by the citylights. It looked something like this:left (north)- .if this diagram doesn't- - .line up, select a fixed- - .font (like courier). This- - .line should be straight.- . - .- / \ - .- / \ - .- / \ - .- / \ - . I've draw this sideways- /_________\ - . because it was a little- . - top . easier, and the proportions- / \ -(west). are more accurate.- / \ - .- / \ - .- / \ - .- /_________\ - .- - .- - .- - .- - .- - .- .right (south)There was something very peculiar about the way they looked as they flew. The craft in front appeared more steady than the trailing one, and the distance between them fluctuated randomly, varying from nearly touching, to a maximum of a triangle length. When the rear one began to lag, it would suddenly snap back to a comfortable distance from the front one. My impression was that it looked as though they were being manually controlled by pilots, and as if they had very high power to weight ratio, and like they were somewha thard to control.I watched them for about 8 to 12 seconds. During that time,they maintained a due north heading, and covered about 80 to 90 degrees of azimuth. After I lost sight of them, I waited for several minutes for any sound. I heard nothing.The binoculars were 20x50, with a field of view of 157 fee tat 1000 yards. If you assume that the objects were about 100 feet long, and took up about 1/3 of the field of view, then their altitude would be 2000 yards, or 6000 feet, and their speed would be 568 mph. That seems pretty conventional,but I think I would have heard jets at that altitude.Furthermore, what jets have a perfect equilateral sillouette?The closest thing I can think of (that would be flying in 1974),is the B58 Hustler. But my view was clear enough, that I could have seen the little bit of fuselage in the front and backof the delta wing.I probably blew the simple geometry I used for the altitude and speed calculations, but I've given enough facts that one could calculate height and speed for any craft of a given size.

In the summer of 1972 or 1973, a friend and I were sitting on the front steps of our house in Campbell, CA. We were facing towards Saratoga, CA. It was 9 or 10 pm. A nice night. Clear sky and warm.

My friend and I saw a saucer shape with multi-colored lights. It looked like it was hovering over the houses about ½ mile away from our house. My friend saw it first and said “What is that?” Neither one of us knew what it was. I went inside the house to get my Mom. When we came back out, it was gone. My friend and I were both in Junior High School at the time.

There was nothing about this in the newspaper (San Jose Mercury News) for at least the next week. I know because I checked every day.

3 glowing disc shaped objects

While watching the 10:00 o'clock news. We experienced a brown out. My mother went outside to see if a motorist hit a power pole. She came back in excited and told my step-father and I to come out.

Three disc like objects were hovering over our house and the neighbors. They were glowing a yellow green with no apendages or running lights. They were about 150 yards up. There was a direct corilation between the brown out and them. The lights dimmed and brfightened in relationship to them moving off. They moved and stopped in a zig zag manor until disappearing over the mountains.

My step-father said it would ruin our credibility to report it. We checked the newspaper the next day. There was only an article stating that the utility company had been experiencing unrelated brown outs in the northern part of the state.

I remained silent all these years for lack of the abilikty to explain them. Once I got a computer. I thought about mankind evolving into a computer and into inter space, then out of the hardware as a form of intelligent energy. After 30 years or so,I saw that as an explanation.

I don't believe in aliens visiting our planet. That seems all to illogical. I believe that intelligent energy plasma may roam the universe and possibly get it's energy from the stars.

I'll stake my life on the phenomina we say not being of this earth.

I'm now 67 years old and no longer worry about my credibility.
