Hovering and darting blinking lights at about 1 Hz cycle rate.

Overhead blinking object, about 1 Hz cycle, alternating red and green. Videos (3) attached, hopefully. One object, rapid positional movement, appeared to be actively surveilling. Oblique views were captured, but direct overhead views were not. (The two companion linked lights which appear in the video were possibly artifacts. They were not visible to me.)

My wife and I were emptying out our old storage unit from the end of Washington street Claremont when I saw what I thought was a shooting star I literally said aww babe you missed it. Then it came back and was going back and forth from one side of the sky to the other back and forth performing circles figure rights unbelievable speed no sound from it at all .then it would just stop and shoot straight down to the ground it looked as if it landed or crashed at the top of green mountain road then it would shoot back up at unreal speeds however Everytime it seemed to land there would be a bright white flash of light then back to doing more spins and back and forth maneuvers by the time the first two minutes had past watching this incredible circular white light my wife was so scared she fled to the U-Haul and was yelling to leave this was unbelievable the speed on this object from zero mph to the other side of the sky in less then a second it's not possible with! our current understanding of physics the whole time I'm watching this I'm literally yelling like a fool what are you? Please show yourself! I need to know how they survived the g forces of this display.

Two Silent Triangular Shaped Aircraft

me and my partner witnessed two triangular shaped aircraft, one flying up front, the other a few seconds behind, yellow and red lights flashing, but something about the flashing/lights seemed odd, flying very fast, looked weird, not like a regular plane, flying low about 500 feet in the air, flying over residential area, headed West, we live in a very quiet neighborhood and we had just commented on how quiet it was, when we saw the aircraft, we waited for the sound to hit but neither of them made any sound. Both were completely silent.

We also witness one triangular shaped aircraft about two months ago. Pretty much the same description, greyish, only we saw it much later in the night. No lights except it had a V-formation of lights beneath (most probably reflectors). Also completely silent. SO DAMN FREAKY! Not sure if this is related, but about 25 minutes before we saw these two aircraft, we witnessed, two planes possibly "escorting" another plane. One plane up front, the other plane at the back and in the middle another plane. Could not make out is shape except that it was black or grey, with no lights. That's what made it so strange as well as three planes flying in a line. The regular planes had lights but no light at all from plane in the middle.

We left a report on this website but due to the backup of sightings, have yet to be contacted. Thank you for your time.

TRIANGULAR AIRCRAFT EERILY SILENT AND SLOW-MOVING

RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN AREA. SITTING ON BALCONY AT 11:30PM. IT WAS A HOT DAY SO ME AND PARTNER ENJOYING A CHAT IN THE COOL OF THE NIGHT. WE WERE STAR GAZING. I HAVE VERY GOOD EYE SIGHT AND SUDDENLY SAW A TRIANGULAR SHAPED AIRCRAFT IN THE DISTANCE TO THE WEST FLYING EAST TOWARD US.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS GREYISH/WHITISH IN THE NIGHT SKY AND WAS SMOOTH AND SOLID.

NO WINGS OR JAGGED EDGES VISIBLE.

LOOKED LIKE A MANTA RAY. VERY OVERWHELMING TO SEE.

IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THAT WANTED TO BE SEEN. ALMOST INVISIBLE.

NO EXHAUST TRAIL.

IT WAS NOT MOVING FAST, SEEMED MUCH SLOWER THAN JET OR EVEN PROPELLER PLANE. WAS NOT FLYING HIGH. APPROX.500-700 FEET AWAY.

NO LIGHTS AT FIRST UNTIL IT FLEW OVER US WE SAW THERE WERE LIGHTS IN A V-FORMATION. THEY WERE NOT SHINING OR FLICKERING, THEY ALMOST SEEMED LIKE REFLECTORS. COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE BENEATH THE CRAFT BESIDES THE V-FORMATION.

WHAT FREAKED US OUT WAS THAT IT WAS EERILY SILENT.

NO SOUND AT ALL.

FLEW PRETTY MUCH IN A STRAIGHT LINE THEN LOST SIGHT OF IT OVER OUR ROOF.

Two separate balls of light flew by at high speed.

I woke up to let my dogs out this morning around 5:20 am. I looked up at the sky and thought to myself how beautiful all the stars were this morning when I noticed one of the lights that I thought was a star started moving. I stood there wondering if it was maybe a plane, but an actual plane flew at a much lower altitude right beneath it. That’s when it faded away. Judging from the passing plane, I estimated that this light moved about 3-4 times faster and at a much higher altitude.

Then, about 10 seconds later, another light started moving in the same path. I watched that one eventually faded away also. It almost looked like it flew in the direction of the moon. I must add that the night before we noticed some lights up in the sky that we’ve never seen before. If you would like to see a recoding of that, please contact me. It’s possible that these crafts may have been investigating what’s happening in this area because of that light in the sky.

3 orange fireballs with light trails moving left to right and downwards in far distance

I was driving with my girlfriend down Foothill Blvd in Claremont, California. We saw 3 fire balls in the sky maneuvering far in the distance. From how far they looked from our position, these aircrafts must have been extremely quick. They would hover in place, then move left/right extremely quickly considering their distance from us. I did not capture video of this sight but I did happen to find someone else's video coverage of the incident that I will post a link of at the end of this description. The fireballs had a light trail that followed them when maneuvering and disappeared behind them. They went side to side and eventually maneuvered down to the Earth's surface I assume. Please see the link attached. Below is an extremely similar event with the same fire balls but captured in Miami, Florida. Opposite side of the country on the SAME NIGHT. Please note, I only witnessed the occurrence in the FIRST link's video.

My wife and I were in our back yard on Tuesday, February 13, at about 10:00 p.m. We both noticed a white cloud or light which resembled the exhaust from a jet plane across the sky. However, neither my wife nor I had noticed that type of plane exhaust across a night sky. The object remained in the sky for more that 15 minutes and so I decided to take a picture of the streak across the sky. It was to our amazement to see the bright light as the source of the “cloud” phenomenon in the picture I took with my iPhone 7. Neither my wife or I ever saw the bright light with out naked eyes; it was only in the photo that the bright source light appeared. Because we did not notice the source light at the time the photo was taken, it seems strange that it was not visible at the time of the picture was taken.My wife is retired and I am a college professor.

bright light expanded and then contracted to a pinprick of light before disappearing

I was out walking the dogs at around 9:00pm in the neighborhood of the School of Theology. I stopped to relax and look at the stars even though there were very few (light pollution, clouds, and pollution all contributing to few visible stars).

As I sat looking straight up and a little north toward the mountains, I saw a very small cluster of stars. Slowly one grew to a very bright light, which I thought a first could have been be a plane coming my way though it wasn’t moving and it became larger and larger to about the size of a dime in the sky.

At this point if it were an airplane or helicopter I should have been able to hear propeller blades or engines but there was no sound and somehow the light was different brighter brighter. Then the dime sized bright light shrank to a pinprick in the same spot and was gone. I’ve never seen anything like it!

There was a group of about half a dozen small, bright white orbs high above. One seemed a little closer and brighter than the others. They seemed to be either stationary or moving very slowly. The orbs were visible for about 15 to 20 minutes before disappearing completely. I attempted to take a picture with a cell phone, but there was nothing clearly visible in the image. Using my 35 mm film camera, I took several pictures but I will have to wait until I get them developed.

A portion of the night sky lit up a beautiful glowing blue, followed by a blue sphere with aura heading west.

I was sitting in my den watching TV, the window of the room to the west and my left. A portion of the sky lit up a soft yet bright beautiful light blue colour, catching my eye.

As it is a very hot night with no rain, it could not be lightning. Also, the colour blue was vivid, not white, like lightening. I jumped up to look out the window to see what it could be.

As I did, directly overhead, heading west at a fast rate of speed, was a sphere the size of what appeared to be like a basketball or larger, the entire center solid looking with a perfect sphere of an aura surrounding it.

The entire object was a very beautiful shade of vivid yet soft light blue, the center slightly darker/denser.

It quickly shot west out of sight. Whatever it was did not make any noise. The colour of the blue, spherical object with the glowing lighter blue aura surrounding it was beautiful against the black sky.

I was outside next to my car, when the other witness told me to look up in the sky. There were no sounds or lights, just two - then a third one in a few minutes - round, light orange, ball-shaped figures approximately 2 to 3 feet in diameter, hovering about 30 feet above our heads, slowly passing over the garage roof. They made no noise and were moving very slowly.

The third one slowly appeared as the other two were disappearing into the fog.

We stood there watching them until they were gone.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

Around May 25th at 10:00, a huge, very slow moving fireball-like object could be seen from Claremont for 30 seconds.

I often work late and that night, in late May of 2010, I got home between 22:00 & 23:00. As usual, after getting out of the car, I stood there a while and look at the stars. I was looking N/E and caught a flicker to the East. I looked and saw, what I can only describe as, a fireball. It was moving so slow that I actually watched it for about 30 seconds. 30 seconds! It was moving easterly on a steady path and had a faint, but visible tail. Whatever its distance was from my eyes, I can assuredly say that it looked the size of the full moon. I could actually see movement in the color probably due to excessive heat. It was kind of like looking straight into a jet’s afterburners.

It was either a HUGE object or it was very, very close. From my viewpoint, it looked like it was at a level where I would normally see jets coming in for a landing, but I’m sure that was just an optical illusion.

I saw nothing coming off the object like pieces or sparks. It was round, clean and almost photoshopped-looking except for the faint pinkish spray of the tail.

If this was a meteor, it was far too close for my comfort and there was nothing at all mentioned on the news.

This is the second time I’ve seen something like this. The first time, in the late 70’s, was not nearly as spectacular, but just a thrilling. As we were driving back from Newport Beach at 3:00am, that object went right over our heads, like a plane going down, then shot up at a very sever angle and out of sight, all in about 10 seconds. No sound at all. Neither of us talked about it. The people in the car driving next to us also saw it. I looked over at them and they just shrugged.

If I were to have taken a picture of either object it would have looked exactly like the gas bubble (without the fiery outer layer and red tail) on the ‘In the News’ section of the C2C website, under "Black Hole blows huge gas bubble."

I’ve never seen ball lightening in California. In any case, I doubt it would be as big as these objects.

I am a Staff Assistant for an Engineering of a Municipal utility. I worked in the aerospace industry for 10 years, loving my company and every minute of work. I have been intrested in everything to do with space, planets, astronomy,and etchnology since I was 1st grade - all due to a large panaramic picture my teached had posted on the Science Wall that dipicted the birth and death of planet Earth. I didn't quite accept that particular concept of Earth, but it was colorful.

I keep binoculars in my car just so I can look at stars. (Unfortunately I wasn't about to take my eyes of the May object to grab the binoculars.I now keep them under the front seat.) I often get up at two or three in the morning just to go outside and look at the sky. It's very calming, but somewhat hard on my neck. I've seen a lot of extremely interesting things up there that, and that just keeps me hooked.

If you keep looking down, you might find money, if you keep looking up, your discoveries can be priceless.

Sighting of 12 bright, shiny objects darting about late afternoon eastern sky.

At approximately 5:35 p.m. on Thursday, April 22, 2010, myself and a co-worker witnessed an unusual constellation of bright, shiny objects darting about in the sky. I was situated in the center of the city of Claremont, CA 91711, looking up at the eastern sky. My angle of elevation was at approximately 75 degrees. The cluster, of about a dozen or so objects, was loosely arranged in a random configuration, about the size of the sun. The size of the individual objects was a bit larger than a star. Their movement was of a random darting about; sometimes appearing to suddenly disappear and then reappear. I observed the phenomenon for about 2-3 minutes, before it abruptly stopped and disappeared altogether.

Bright white/red changing light moving calmly across sky, possible round/oval shape to it

I was standing outside at about 11:00 in the morning. I live in Claremont, Ca, a suburb of Los Angeles, a city that lies against mountains, on the other side of those mountains is desert. I believe we are stationed in a path on the way to a military base, as I have often seen military helicopters flying over, and we are stationed on some sort of air travel path as many vehicles fly overhead often. I noticed that it was a very clear day. I was standing looking westward, which I consider to be Los Angeles, and I noticed a bright white light in the sky. Which is unusual, as you don’t usually notice lights in the sky during the day. It was metallic and white looking and I thought it moved unusually. It was extremely bright and from a distance just looked like a spot/metal. It was very far in the distance and seemed very high, so I thought if it moved closer I could tell if it was a plane or a helicopter. As it came nearer and closer, I noticed there was a red tint to it as well. I thought it maybe a blimp. As it moved towards me, along this northeast path, along the mountains, and the same direction as the weather clouds today, it became brighter. The white/diamond light became stronger and it also flashed red. The lights were unusual, more high-tech than most planes or other flying objects. The shape was cigarish. I became slightly frightened as the light was very bright. It continued moving on its path over my home and along the northeast latitude along the mountains, and continued until it was out of sight. The entire time was approximately five to seven minutes. I did not have the time to go inside and get binoculars in order to get a closer view. I have seen an unusual light at night one other time, but this was by far the rarest and most unusual sighting. The movement was also strange, as it moved in a very fluid and smooth/high tech manner.

As far as I could tell, it was not emitting sound that I could hear. I have heard other auditory flying vehicles in the air ! since I sighted it, but I cannot see what craft is emitting that sound.

I tried to do a quick research as to weather this could have been a weather balloon, but my immediate response that I’ve found seems to be that weather balloons do not emit light. My background is mostly that I have an interest in many things, but I do have a slight knowledge of ufo subject matter, and I do sometimes listen to coast to coast, and sometimes read on the internet. I noticed when I went on your website and looked at other sightings that someone in Rancho Cucamonga has written to you, which I find interesting as that is a neighboring city, although we saw two different colors of lights, we did see things in a similar time area. I will try in the coming days to keep an eye out, and will possibly try to go outside tomorrow at the same time. I have to say, today’s visibility is exceptional, and visibility here changes day to day and hour to hour. Yesterday it was overcast. Also, smog, clouds, being against mountains, etc. influences. Not sure what I saw but it was interesting.

I posted here on oct 2nd about a ball of light that we keep seeing at different times of the night that appears to move and change shapes. The conclusion from you all here was that it was the planet venus, I honestly do not think that is the case. I saw the same object last night with my lady, this time it was even brighter and flying real low...so low that we got into the car and tried to drive under it. I have this on video and have zero problems showing the film to you. This object has changed positions in the sky on many nights, changes shapes etc. It looks like a bright white orb. I zoomed in on the object and you can clearly see things moving inside it. Please take a look at what I have on tape, this is not venus.

odd dim oval shaped light near Mount Baldy in southern California.

I am a 20 year old student at the Claremont University Consortium. I am an ardent skeptic and always maintain that there are rational explanations for UFOs and other strange phenomena.

It was later evening and I was walking back from the Claremont village area with a friend. I'm interested in commercial aviation and my eyes followed the lights of an airliner passing overhead flying in a north-east direction, which is a normal flight path for departing aircraft out of LAX over this area.

As I watched the lights recede, I saw a strange oval-like shape that was only a little brighter than the night sky. At first I thought it was the light of a star that was difficult to see because of streetlights in the area. However, when we moved out from under street lights, there didn't appear to be any star, just an oval shaped very-dim light but with very clear definitions.

The light had no lights on it, and it seemed to drift in a straight line toward the southeast. It didn't appear to be moving across the sky very fast. The light was north-west of my position toward the Mount Baldy.

I saw the light for about 10 minutes before eventually looking away because I was so startled by this thing I couldn't explain. I assumed it might be a balloon, but it didn't appear to move or look like a balloon.

When I looked back up in the sky about 10 minutes later, I didn't see any traces of the object.

Three moving lights of planetary brightness.

I have to say any scientist who saw what I did would have written down the day and time, but lately my personality has been a little flat and I just said to myself casually "well there you have it, we have been visited". O.K. that out of the way, it was definitely within the last two weeks or week. I went outside to have a cigarette in the wee hours, was listening to flamenco and working on a science project, I sat down and looked to the east at the constellation Orion and I thought, are those three stars the belt or the sword? They were in the configuration of the sword, but much brighter so I thought the belt? Then I realized they were too bright for the belt too. They infact did not blink as stars do, and I thought they looked like planets. They were somewhere between the brighteness of Venus and Jupiter at their brightest. But planets aren't typically that close together, and are usually more to the south. It was then that they started to move like a swarm of bees that have been aroused, slower than a bee though, faster than an airplane, in crazy paterns like circles, about the apparent circumference of the moon, allot tighter even. I thought nothing man made can move like that, so I thought is what I am seeing here is out of the noramal, could I be seeing a UFO. Before I could decide they stopped moving in circles and ellipses, or something like a path traced out by scribble, moved toward the horizon in a straight line and vanished beneath it. Orion was about a good three or four visual feet above the horizon. I used to work at an observatory, hence the accurate description.

Unknown ball of light hovers over Mt. Baldy

I am not completely sure of the approximate time of the event, but i know it was between 10 and 11 at night. I was up in the mountains with a few friends of mine and we were celebrating the last day of school. The mountains were and still are, one of our common hang outs but that night was a little different because a new area was recently opened after construction was finished. We decide to go on the new path, which my two others were familiar with. We parked up on area that was the base of the road. We all got out of the and my two other friends began to walk towards the ledge of the cliff directly in front of them facing the interior of the mountains. I stayed at my current location and began to gaze at the sky as i do most every night. I turned about 180 degrees, facing the west, before abruptly stoping at the sight of something i had never seen before. It was a circular object, bright and luminesant. From my view point it appeared to be as big as the moon or maybe bigger. The object had to relativly close because of it size and no plane would safely fly at the elvation through mountains terrain nor would need to be at the elevation. It was very bright and had a great radiance about it but no light was cast by it. It was a combination of colors but at the same time one solid color, consisting of white, yellow and orange. But before i could call my friends over to look at it, the object shot off at a speed and a velocity i have never seen before. It was very still for a short period of time then dissapeared in the same amount of time or shorter. I began to cheer and laugh because it was my very first U.F.O sighting. My friends gave me ridiculous conclusions of the objects identity, but all of them were nothing like what i saw. I see planes in the sky all the time when i am up there and none of them are that large and could move at speeds that fast. About a week later i was watching a documentry of the SciFi channel called Roswell: Startling New Evidence. As i watched the program, something caught my eye and luckly i taped it so i could go back and check it out. The topic of the section was about project blue book and they began to show different documents from the organization. The thing that caught my eye was that claremont california was listed in one of the documents, and next to it was a case file with a claim of seeing a description of the thing i view shortly before. I also was told by another close friend that he viewed the same thing as me on the same night from his bedroom. It was around the same time as my encounter and he described a loud noise at first and then silence. The object then hovered slowly over his home about three stories above. With these added encounters that are very similar to mine, i am happy to know that i am not the only one who has seen these un-identified objects and very egar on knowing its origins and seeing it again.

Duration: Over an hour.
No of observers: 2

Location: Claremont, CA, USA

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

A very slowly-moving star-like object flickering light blue and red and hovering low above the horizon.

A short time after sunset my wife saw an object that looked like a flickering star or planet outside the back sliding door of our house. She told me to come and look at it and my first impression was that it was indeed a planet that was flickering in the haze. Then I realized that it was a clear night with no haze and the flickering was more like a constant flashing. The flashing light was changing colors from blue to orange or red. Also, it was low in the north-northwest horizon and slowly moving lower, closer to the horizon. It was moving very slowly, much more slowly than any aircraft that I know of. You had to be watching it closely to discern the movement. It seemed to be hovering as it lowered in a diagonal direction slightly toward the north. The object made no sound, although it was probably too far away to be audible, anyway. During the sighting, I took several 35mm pictures on a fresh roll of film, but it will be a while before they can be developed.

As I write this report, the object is still visible over an hour after it was first seen.

The UFOs seemed not to move, from my window I could see flashing lights to each other.

Around mid night I noticed a strange light outside. At first I thought it was a star but it was flashing blue, red, green, and yellow lights. I know it was not an airplane because it sat completely still and did't move at all. I was able to get 2 pictures of it. I looked at the 2 pictures and got a closer look at what I saw. there were 3 balls of light. close together. After about 15 minutes it was gone. it seemed to move slowly away.

Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Claremont, CA, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Two distant three-sectioned cigar-shaped white UFOs observed for half an hour, one of them approached by an apparent jet.

Around sunset two of us observed two very distant unidentified flying objects to our north, about 65 or 70 degrees above the northern horizon. They were cigar-shaped to the naked eye but with binoculars could be seen to have three sections. They were white, as seen in reflected sunlight. They were a little smaller than a high-altitude jet. They drifted very slowly to the east, or perhaps at times were stationary or moving in other directions. At one point in our observation of them, what looked like a white dot to the naked eye but appeared to be a plane with wings as viewed with binoculars approached one of the objects and flew in its vicinity for serveral minutes before disappearing from view. Finally the objects themselves became fainter and disappeared from view.

The two of us are very involved with ufology. We have each, independently, had two previous UFO sightings. One of us is a contactee and has had telepathic contact with ETs. Neither of us felt any telepathic contact with the UFOs of the present sighting.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with the two witnesses, and they seemed to be quite credible witnesses. PD

Location details: Route 103 between Claremont and Newport, Over the Sugar River

Shape: Circle


While traveling to Newport from Claremont on Rt 103, we saw a circular bright object accelerating from a stand still to g-force speed.

While traveling to Newport from Claremont on Rt 103, myself on the passenger side, noticed an odd illumination on the low drifting clouds over the Sugar River valley adjacent to the road. When we reached a clearing, we pulled over for a better inspection, and there was a circular bright object accelerating from a stand still to g-force speed with no sound, shot left to right repeatedly for minutes with no sign of slowing or stopping this activity. After watching this in disbelief, we decided to try and get closer look for some type of identification or explanation. With backroads being what they are, it became impossible to gain a closer or better advantage point and with fuel running low, we gave up pursuit. A report with the same description was made a decade later on July 2021 and the similarities of the event are uncanny. I'm reporting now because the event never left my memory.

flashing bright light changing colors and smaller objects flying around it in the night sky.

was at the home of a famous music celebrity when i noticed a strange light in the sky. i watched it for a while and noticed that it seemed to move in an erratic fashion. i then noticed that the light was changing colors. i thought i should get some witnesses to make sure that i wasn't trippin'. two guys came over and confirmed the object was flashing and changing colors. all of a sudden, smaller lights started flying around the main light, but they were barely visible. they seemed to come from the main light itself, then return to the light. two more people, including the celebrity, then witnessed the object. i have never seen anything like that - ever.

1 of 3 UFOs followed my car after we watched them hovering for a few hours.

During the summer of 1974, two of my cousins came to my home upset and frightened, saying their car had just been "buzzed" by a large object with bright lights. They were afraid to drive the rest of the way home alone, so I followed them in my car. When we reached their home and looked to the east, we saw three objects hovering above a field behind our grandmother's home.

They were in a triangle formation, with two on top and one on the bottom. We sat on my cousin's porch and watched them for a few hours. During that time, every so often they would swap positions, reversing the triangle. They had mainly white lights, but those changed periodically to orange.

When I left, one of them broke away and stayed parallel to my car the entire length of the road (about a mile). I turned right, and it did the same. It remained beside me, just above the trees, until I met a car a half a mile later. Then it did a 180-degree turn and followed that car.

My cousins said the other two left in the same direction I drove a few minutes after my departure. We never saw them again, but there were other reported sightings in our area that summer.
