Shape: Teardrop


A tear shaped object with two tail fins photographed appears to be traveling at a high speed.

On June 28th 2020, I was looking out of my living room window and noticed there many police cars rushing down the street. They had blocked the street off so traffic could not get through, so I decided to walk down the street to see what was going on.

It turned out that it was unfortunately a fatal accident between a car and a motorcycle.

I decided to take a picture with my iPhone of the accident and returned back home. I took a look at the picture that I had taken and noticed an object in the center of my photo. It is shaped like a black teardrop with two tail-fins. I did not hear any sounds.

At the time that I took the picture, I did not see it nor was I aware of this object at the time, however, when I hold my finger on the photo, it appears and disappears as though traveling at a high speed. The photo is on “live” which means it records a split second before and after the photo is taken.

6:40 AM today in Cerritos, CA, bright glowing, blueish green ball (shaped like a fireball) spotted speeding downward from the sky.

This morning, approximately around 6:40 am, I was outside and noticed a reflection on my glass door of a greenish, blue and yellowish glowing ball (like a fireball) moving across the sky. I turned around to face it and it was moving fast, headed for earth.

I saw it for maybe 35 second (includes the time I first spotted it as a reflection), before homes and trees blocked my view.,

I actually stayed quiet and still, waiting for a loud crash or a jolt, which I did not hear or feel.

Note: I was not sure about which shape to select, but it was between the fireball and the teardrop. There was definitely a roundness to it, but had a tail like a fireball falling from the sky at great speed,

This ball was quite brightly glowing, considering the morning sky was fairly lit, and my glass door was dusty,.




NUFORC Note:

Video captured by a beach camera at Doheny Park, Dana Pt., CA. Object appears to us to be a meteor, streaking from west to east. Please see video on NUFORC homepage. PD

Odd Red- Orange orb - then becomes a fireball seen on 405 freeway in Orange County 1/29/2016.

I am reporting what a friend said to me, after driving down the 405 freeway south, just north the 22 split - along the naval base that parallels the freeway.

An orange-red ball was about 30 feet above the ground and following traffic (as I understand) but at a different speed.

Then the ~36 inch ball at a point in time turned into a FIREBALL, and continued to move out of range of people on the freeway who could see it. I suspect perhaps at least 20 other drivers may have seen it.

I hope someone's dash cam captured it! Lasted less than 40 seconds, I understand.

I remain anonymous. I hope others also report this incident!

3-ft long fluorescent craft manuvering 3ft above my head and patio around 3AM. No sound or lights.

Hello,

19 Sep 2014 Yes I heard the C2C show this week and heard your report of a 3 ft UFO above the Boulevard near Disneyland.

I saw a similar thing 10 miles away just 3 ft above my head and patio cover, around 2 ~ 3AM.

I walked outside to investigate the racket of a very nearby helicopter. To my surprise there were THREE objects maneuvering within 20 ft of my patio cover in the dark with no perception of on board lights; just a ghostly fluorescence.

All sorts of maneuvers that I couldn’t hear.

After 2 minutes I became scared and ran back into my house.

One object looked like a 3ft white fluorescent goodyear blimp, but without any markings or lights. It could perform complicated Spins both forwards, or backwards.

Shape: Cigar


I was driving north on Studebaker Road in the City of Cerritos, California. I approached the intersection of 183rd and Studebaker Road and stopped in the secured left hand turn lane. As I was waiting for the light to turn green, I suddenly saw a silver object in the sky. It was oblong/cigar shaped and perfectly symmetrical. It seemed metallic because the sun was reflecting off its outer hull. Today was about 80 degrees with clear blue skies. No buildings, telephone poles etc. obstructed my vision. I focused my eyes to see any evidence of wings or other noticeable features it would have with common aircraft. It had no bolts or apparent fastenings, just seamless metal.

It was about 3,500 feet to 5,000 feet in the sky, the normal range where most aircraft fly. My window was ajar and I could hear no sound (as one would with a normal plane). It left no air trail in the sky. I tracked it for about 60 seconds from right to left (it seemed to be heading west) and it suddenly disappeared.

Twirling Object Over Buena Park.

less than an hour ago i was outside with my binoculars(sp?) and was just looking around then a bright light caught my attention. i cant estimate how far away it was but it was pretty far and really bright outside. i would have to say it was easily over the city of buena park. first it was heading west then it went straight up. while it kept turning around in strange ways. it was big, silver, and looked like it had 1 light on top of it but im very sure it was just the reflection off the sun, but who knows...after looking at it for about 30 seconds i huried and called for my girlfriend and made her look and she saw the same object twirling around and moving west then eventually just went higher and higher until we lost sight of it. i saw another UFO the night before but do to what i saw that night id rather keep it to myself as ive never seen anything like it on the face of planet earth. no photos, videos, or stories that ive ever read or heard have come close to what i saw. the most strangest shape shifting object to ever float in the sky.

Very bright lights in a cluster hovering below the marine layer.

At about 8:30 PM. on 5/16/07 we saw a group of very bright very white lights. We saw this from our house in Los Alamitos, we are about 5 miles away. A cluster of 4-5 lights was hovering low below the marine layer. The lights were over the area of Cerritos or Norwalk. They were visable to us for 5 or 6 min, then they seemed to just go out. The lights did not appear to move.

Strange light in sky over Cerritos California

While I was on a break at work I went out to my car. There weren't any clouds in the sky.

I was walking North toward my car when a bright star in the sky caught my eye, probably at a 60 to 70 degree angle. I looked up at it and it seemed to be stationary. Living in L.A. bright stars are a rarity, however this star seemed more like a flashlight pointing in my direction.

At first I thought it was a helicopter flying at high altitude, but after a few seconds it move northward and became dimmer, almost like a car at long distance coming at you and then turning away. I realized it wasn't a helicopter of plane when it trailed off but didn't have any blinking lights. The light disappeared and I didn't see it again. In all it lasted at least 15 second from the time I noticed it 'til the time it disappeared.

The star-like object traveled at a tremendous rate of speed across the moon lit sky.

I commute over 50 miles each way to work. My commute home generally takes 2 hours because of the stop-and-go traffic on the 91 freeway, therefore I have plenty of time to observe more than just the back bumper of the car in front of me.

At 5:45 p.m. (dusk) the sun had just set and the full moon was rising just over the north east horizon. It was crystal clear sky. The direction of the freeway is due east.

I was watching the lights in the sky of many planes/helicopters, some reporting on traffic conditions and others in a typical landing approach for near by airports, when a bright light (distant, but bright) caught my attention to the north, or out my driver's side window. I know the difference between aircraft landing and strobe lights and a star. This was more like a star in the sense that its light was consistent and its intensity.

To the left of me it traveled from as high as I could see (top of my window), to what seemed to be straight down towards the earth, but more like it was traveling beyond the horizon moving away from me and disappearing as it followed the curvature of the earth. No trail was following it.

I immediately question myself as to what I had just seen and tried to apply earthly logic to explain it away, but I came to the same conclusion. It was not a plane, meteor, or star. I did consider that perhaps it was a falling star. I have seen falling stars on many occasions and the light seems to fizzle out as it is traveling and they appear (obviously) very high in the atmosphere. It was not dark enough at that time to see stars.

Also, this seemed to propel itself across the sky at a tremendous rate of speed as opposed to "falling". It was way to far away to see a shape, as I mentioned it was star-like, but there is something deep inside of me that knows it was either not of this world or a vehicle that is not known to the general public (if it is of this world).

Back in the late 80's I saw the "three orange lights" type of UFO. I can tell that story to if you care to know about it.

Circular non transparent object seen hovering inside house

Well,it was an early saturday morning and I usually get up early while it is fairly dark outside.My alarm went off and I reach over to turn it off and l layed back down on bed and was facing upwards towards the ceiling(it was still dark in my room)and saw what looked like a circular light fixture that you might see on a ceiling fan,I could even see a rim attached behind it,or on top of it.At first I really didnt think too much of it but then realized that I dont have any ceiling light fixtures in my bedroom and became alarmed and then the object moved to the far side of my room and begain to move in a circular pattern approx 1-2 ft circular pattern I then started to alarm my roommate in the next room the object seemed to go right through the ceiling and was gone,I only remenant on the ceiling was some marks on the acoustic ceiling like a something with a pointed tip left in a semicurular pattern right where it went through the ceiling.The object size seemed approx 8-9ins in diameter and it never did show any signs of lights or glowing or sound...but did leave and odd smell of sulfer

sighting of object traveling at high speed with unusual movement and shape.

A friend of mine and I were discussing how clear the sky was on this night, when he asked me if the little dipper was made up of stars. At that instant he looked up at a easterly angle towards the little dipper, when he did he said wow,what is that ? I had already looked up by that time and noticed a disk shaped object with a dark center and white around the outside. it was not a light but more like white against a dark sky. the object traveled from about three feet of my sight to the left of the little dipper as scale to about a foot to the right of it in a straight line and then dipped downward at about a seventy degree angle for about a second and then turned right at a 90 degree angle and traveled directly away from me for about a second and a half before dissapearing from sight. This area is near L.A. international airport and there is alot of air traffic and after seeing the object we compared times of airplanes covering approximatly the same diastance and by our estimations the object was traveling 50 times faster than a commercial airliner. and covered the complete horizon in about three and a half seconds. I am a 39 year old male and my occupation is a printer. my friend is a 39 year old truck driver. He and I agreed immidiatly afterwards that we had never seen anything even remotly like this and I had never even entertained the thought of seeing a U.F.O. in my neighborhood. We were at liberty park playing a game of night frisbee disc golf when the sighting occured.

A car struck an invisible object causing the car to come to a complete stop.

Around 1975 while living in Southern California I encountered a very strange occurrence. Like the Northbrook, Illinois incident I witnessed a vehicle hit an invisible object. I was sitting at a stop light with one other car that was directly across from me, also waiting for the light to change. I heard a crash and looked up to see a car that was traveling from right to left had come to a complete stop just short of the intersection. Steam was spewing from the radiator and it had a large dent in the grill. It was like the car hit a pole but there was no pole. I saw nothing that could have caused this.

The next thing I knew the light had changed and I proceeded through the intersection slowly. It felt like a dream and I was just along for the ride. I remember starring at that car and even looking over at the other car that was proceeding through the intersection across from me. Very strange was the thought in my head that said "keep going." Not an audible sound but more like a thought. What makes it so weird is that I was a Vietnam vet and knew how to react to all kinds of stressful incidents but found myself just as an observer and unable to react. I never reported that accident to anyone and that was also strange because I was a Security Policeman in the Air Force and worked with the Arizona State Troopers and the California Highway Patrol with accidents involving military personnel. I was no stranger to accidents and accident reports but never reported this one.

Over the years I’ve felt badly that I didn’t help that poor person explain the weird accident to the police but who’d believe such a thing? I have told very few people about this but who would? I saw a car hit an “invisible” object!! Reading about the poor lady from Illinois brought back this memory and I truly sympathize with her. I’m almost glad that I haven’t been the only person to experience such a weird event.
