Fireball that turned into 3 cruising ufos

I was with a friend at a taco truck with several other customers who witnessed this .

A giant golden fireball streak came down from the southern skies,it was massive.

It continued for a very long time then broke into 3 seperate fireballs all side by side. Then at the same time all 3 broke from freefall & went in complete different directions, one went up! They all started just cruising around not in freefall anymore. Absolute insanity for everyone who witnessed- we were all in awe

Unexplained lights in western Comal County skies

I observed 6 (maybe more)objects at a relatively low altitude of between 10 and 20,000 feet. It seemed a little lower but I never got close enough to make an accurate description. There were lights of green, red, yellowy/orange, purple and seemed to rotate positions. (think 1965 Thunderbird turn signals) They also changed the shape from a rounded presentation to a pointier presentation. They didn't move like anything I've seen. The only way I know how to explain it would be to, think of 2 hands, extended out away from your body. One hand is open, the other closed. Now, hold them up against the sky. Now switch the open one to closed, simultaneously opening the other hand. The first hand goes to the next position, and it repeated itself several times.

Long straight line of dimly lit light. Couldn't tell if it was illuminated or reflectling from the full moon.

Saw a long faint line traveling from northwest to southeast. Due to darkness was unable to estimate altitude. At first thought it was a banner tow rig but there was no noise. As it proceeded to the southeast, I saw a plane pass under it. It took about 45 seconds to cover approximately 40 degrees of sky.

A bright white light suddenly appeared up high in sky above us casting light over the whole area, no apparent sound, too dark to see if it was a craft. The light appeared to sit still and spray a light misty glow in circle patterns, the circle mist cloud continued to grow to enormous size covering much of sky, white light moved away until too dim to see with eyes, leaving behind a blue glow in center of circle. The mist dissappated and the blue glow stayed for around ten minutes.

I saw a large orange light in the northern sky. Bigger than a star, smaller than the moon at about a 30 degree arc from the ground. It moved straight down for 5 seconds and disappeared. I often walk in this area at night and see stars, the moon and airplanes but never a light that is orange, so big and moving straight downward, very quickly.

First a triangle bright no sound then transformed into a circular object. No movement then progressed quietly.

Very crystal clear sky from my front porch in the country. To the left there was a very bright triangle shape. I was curious so I obtained my binoculars, it was bright, no sound, went to the back yard after it was stationary then began to move.

I looked with the binoculars and viewed a now circular object with lights all the way around the circle. It moved lower and then quickly went across the sky out of view. Again no noise.

I watch the night sky frequently and know the planes, helicopters, etc. This was a UFO sighting.

3 Unknown objects W NW of Canyon Lake, CA

As I was going to bed I looked out my window to the NW. In the distance I saw three craft (unknown shape because of darkness and distance) they looked to me to be in the vicinity of 33 degrees 45' 04.43" N by 117 degrees 19' 40.97" W Or W/NW of the North Gate of Canyon Lake.

The three "craft" had three lights each (varying colors but mainly white and blue) We see planes all the time near here as we are under the approach pattern for MARB, mainly we see C-17's, KC-135's, C-130's, and the occasional F-16.....these objects I saw were out of that pattern and what I initially was going to dismiss as planes in the distance, started behaving differently than any plane I have ever seen.

The three objects seemed to be "playing with each other" moving in a leap frog type pattern in ways planes cannot. I also noticed string-like lights descending from the objects to the ground, as if they were dropping them in an organized fashion, every 10 seconds or so. After 7-8 minutes one of them shot straight-up and disappeared.

1. No I do not have video...I didn't think of it and I am mad at myself for that.

2. I didn't report it to anyone because to be honest, I was scared by this event, and went and hid in my bed.

3. I am only reporting this, because I went to school this morning and my teacher said I should!

California Fireball Western Sky November 10, 2011

My two daughters and I were outside, after sunset, the sky still light blue with a marine layer. My 7 year old said "mom look is that a rocket"?

I went over and looked in the Western sky toward Lake Elsinore area, and there was a huge fireball with a fire-trail behind it, which then exploded into four big pieces which then had fire-trails behind them, we ran and just saw them disappear between the trees.

I have never seen one so big and close as these were.

Bright white oval jumps southwest then disappears into thin air.

On October 30, 2011 at 8:02 PM central time I witnessed what I believe was a UFO. As I was on my street coming home, directly above the tree line towards the southwest. I saw a bright white bluish light smaller than the moon but larger than the view of the planet mars from earth.

It was so bright at first I thought it was a falling star but, when I kept looking at it, it almost seemed to jump slightly southwest. Then it just vanished into thin air, almost as if it closed itself into nothing. It was so bright I’ve never seen anything like this before. The way it moved so fast then to just disappear like that was so unsettling.

The outline was like an oval submarine and had a blue purple hue to it, the center was a bright white light. When it did that fast jump/slide movement to the southwest I could see the outline of the craft. When it disappeared it was like it closed into itself very fast. It reminded me of a sparkler when you move it to try and write your name yet you can see the outline of the glow. Then gone as if nothing was ever there.

Thank you for your time

Bright red triangle craft flying over Menifee, Quail Valley, Canyon Lake, California

My husband and I were sitting outside our deck on a clear evening with no wind facing the North Eastern sky, our view is part of the lake with hills of Quail Valley in the back drop.

All of a sudden some type of craft the shape of a triangle came flying from the Eastern sky it was flying just above the hills of Quail Valley. The craft looked like it was flying on its side with the thickest part of the triangle in the front and the point in the back.

The craft had three large red lights that outlined the shape of the craft which was a very bright red. The craft made no noise whatsoever, and flew by so fast, I jumped up and ran to the end of the deck to see it fly behind the hills.

Around the same time a police helicopter flew over us heading North following the craft, the police helicopter had its search light on and seemed to be trying to catch up with the craft, the crafts speed was way to fast for the helicopter to catch up, and in the distance behind the! hills you could see the police helicopter with its search light and around 3 minutes later the helicopter started flying East with the search light on, the same path of the craft, we saw the helicopter stopped in the Menifee area, and turned around to follow again the exact flight path of the craft.

We never saw the craft or the police helicopter again.

Rendlesham Forest look alikes. 2 were spotted by Canyon Lake Tx. from about 60 yards away.

Rendlesham Forest craft they drew from ground obsevations. They looked like that.

I saw 2 by Canyon Lake, TX in Nov 2007. They came out of Bear Creek on FM 2722. The time was around 9:30 a.m. I did not report it at the time because I had never heard of a UFO like this, and I was skeptical.

The really cool thing about this is they were moving really slow. When I saw the 1st craft in my rear view mirror I pulled over and jumped out of my truck and watched in shock. (My camera was on the front seat the whole time.) The first craft angled up and started to climb.

Then the second craft came into view. Double shock! They were both on the same flight path. Here is the strange part. They hit the same spot in the sky and disappeared like they walked behind a tree. They were the same craft that were spotted in England. Same shape except they looked longer to me and the bottom looked like it had sharper lines than the drawings on the TV show.

This all happened in around 30 sec.

Thank you for your time

Unexplained light pattern that lasted for over an hour

Unexplained lights in the sky over Canyon Lake, in Canyon Lake, Texas on 8/3/2007.

We saw this at 11:30 last night. It was a hazy sky last night with large grey clouds moving to the north. The first time we saw the light, it was a bright light moving at a high rate of speed high in the sky over Canyon Lake. It was moving north to southwest. There was a large grey cloud in front of it, so at first we thought it was a shooting star.

After the cloud moved, we saw the light would move from North to Southwest, back to North and then it would move from North to Northeast stopping at certain points, then go back to the Southwest. It was a cycle that never stopped.

We then thought that it might have been a strobe of light from the ground like the large lights they put in a parking lot to attract attention, but we never saw any strobe of light from the ground up. This light pattern was high up in the sky and it would change it’s interval’s of speed, but never changing the pattern that it took.

We have a telescope, but due to the rate of speed and the distance that it would travel, we could not capture it. We did not have a camera or a video to take any picture of this.

We decided to go to bed, but opened our curtains to watch from our bed. This pattern of light showed non-stop, the last time I checked the time, it was around 1:00 a.m., at that point, it had not stopped.

I saw a bright light streak across the sky, then it looked like it shot straight up, and then vanished.

I was walking down the street to the mailboxs, and I saw a bright light in the sky. I thought at first it might be a plane, but the thing was moving extremely fast so I thought that couldn't be it. I have never seen an object streak across the sky like that. I saw it streak accross the sky for a few seconds, then it looked like it shot straight up, and then it just vanished. I'm not into UFOs, and I always thought that people who see them are just seeing things, but this was at night and it was very bright and clear, and I have never seen anything move that fast.

objects flew up thousands of ft., dissappearred,re-aprd, touched eachother, very fast, yet floated at times.

I live waterfront in Canyon Lake not far from Edwards AFB, the entire back side of my house overlooks the Santa Ana Mts.to the West or left. directly behind are hills with nothing for miles and to the East or right is Edwards AFB. On New Years Eve I was sitting in my kitchen looking west/left towards S.A. Mts. Both my girlfriend and I saw 4-5 objects huvering just over the mtn top, they would all (one by one or 1-2 at a time) "shoot" straight up several thousand feet, huver for a while dissappear for a while, re-appear sometimes much higher approx 15k ft., other times just over the mtn. top. they all had strange light formations mostly bright, but dimming periodocaly or lights sudenly tuning off. I was able to keep a pretty good eye on them with my binnoculars. was unable to see much of a formation do to it being at night, their lights gave too much of a glare. when lights off they looked like the eagle on the back of a silver dollar with a string out the bottom. almost like a kite string.

the next day New Years day at approx. 2-4 pm the same objects appeared and when I looked with my binnoculars they defineately looked like the eagle. the color they gave off was like that of an old motor cycle tail pipe, goldish blues, then grey, and almost incadescent at times. the string on the bottom appeared to be a jet stream or exhaust about the same length as the craft. They (3-4) flew the same way as the night before. huvering, "shooting straight up, floating side to side while perpindicular (slow 360's) then turning the other way. this lasted for approx. 1 hour, somewhere between 2pm & 4pm. since then i have seen similar objects several times usually late at night. I have also noticed a sincere increase in military aircraft for approx 2 months now. prior to last Oct-Nov. there were rarely any aircrafts flying over head.

(El Toro air base happens to be directly behind the sightings) If it is closed? aprox 2 weeks ago in he middle of the week around 2pm an aircraft traveling approx 4-5K mph,(based on fighter jets that go overhead at 1.5k mph?) went overhead it looked similar to the space shuttle without any wings and was white or silverish. since 1-1-04 i leave my binnoculars out, this is reason i was able to see this aircraft. after it passed overhead, the turbulnce caused the middle of the lake to raise up in a circular fashion as like a round wave approx 10' diameter, then it became a wall type wave approx. 20'-30'long for a brief moment and turned into a whirlpool about 10 diameter. it was by far the fastest aircraft i have ever seen. 2-3 days after that for two consecutive days there were at least 20 rocket trails in the evening. the first night they were from the south towards Mira Mar? the second evening north/west towards LA. the day i saw the super fast object no trails were in the sky. I do have some photos and camcorder tape of all the above, not the best quality.

Star/Plane looking Red,Blue,and White flashing light,slowly moving

I was watchin late night T.V with my brother,when I noticed what appeared to be a plane with red,blue,and white lights. first I thought it was a plane because they are always flying past our house.But I noticed that it had stopped,so I just stood in front of my living room window,and watched it until i couldnt see it anymore.It would flash blue,red,and white lights,and slowly move directions,and at one point it made a quick move to the left,then right,and it went up and down.Me and my brother were shocked.We kept our eyes on it the whole time,and it continued moving slowly,and once we actually saw it do almost like a 360 degree turn.Then as time went by it stayed still in one spot for a pretty long while,then it went lower,and trees were blocking our vision,so we couldnt see it anymore..That was the most awesome expierience I've ever come across,because I never beleived in UFO's...I always thought they were fake,and people were making stories up,But I am SO convinced that was a UFO.
