Duration: 1.5 hrs
No of observers: 1

Location: Colusa, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

The object appeared to the west of the constellation Orion and was amber-orange in color.

**Attn:I just submitted this same report only the date was wrong! I apologize for the inconvenience Location: Colusa, California Time of Sighting: Noticed an oddly colored star in the very center of the sky from my view, slightly to the west of the constellation Orion; 8:38pm PST. At 10pm, object was still in the sky.

I was outside looking at the stars, and as Orion came into my view I thought what I witnessed was the International Space Station flying by. As I watched the object, it moved north, south, and then to my amazement did a full circle in the sky. It returned to its position to the west of Orion. The object was a slightly off color, amber-orange.

I went inside my house and got out a pair of binoculars to see if I could get a better understanding of what I just saw. Once I looked at the object through the binoculars it appeared to be in our atmosphere, too close to be a star. And once more, startled me as it moved in the same pattern while I was looking at it through the binoculars. I was under the impression it was trying to disguise itself as a star. I felt the urgent need to report this to some one. I used Google and found your website.

I am a student at AIU. I am getting my master’s degree in IT/Internet Security in 3 years. I have lived in the country most of my life. I have only seen one other irregular star while living out here. And that one blew my mind so much I was scared to go outside at night for weeks. That time, an object similar in color, appeared to be flying in front and around the moon. It looked like it was heading straight for me, and then when it got a short distance away from the moon, the object split into two objects and continued on their separate ways. That was several years ago now. I did not know that I could report such incidences.




NUFORC Note:

If the object was to the right, i.e. west, of Orion, it could not have been the star, Sirius, which is located to the left of Orion, as one faces that constellation. PD

My son-in-law was coaching a highschool football scrimage. A friend filmed it on his video camera and gave it to him after the game. Sunday morning he was watching the "plays" in slow motion and he called us in to the living room to watch this unidentifiable object streak across the screen. He slowed it down to frame by frame and there is no denying it! It is not a plane or a jet or a helicopter, etc.! By comparing the player's action in the freeze frame it is the time he lifts his leg at a full run and partially steps down. It isn't an aircraft. One of my co-workers says it is light infraction from the lens of the camera, but I don't think so. We never would have seen it if he hadn't been in slow-mo and if he hadn't seen it!

Letts Lake sighting, CA

I was up at Letts Lake near Stonyford about ten years ago and my girlfriend and I saw this green glowing cigar shaped object floating above the trees on the ridge. It mad a few quick sharpe strange movments, then dissapeared. I read the other siting of this and had to report it. A couple of years later, I saw a meteor almost touch ground right in Stonyford.

neon green, round,traveled very very fast. no sound no flashing.

MY SON WAS DRIVING ME HOME ON A 3 MILE SREATCH OF COUNTRY ROAD. I CAUGHT SIGHT OF A GREEN PINPOINT LIGHT BEHIND US. I STARTED TO ASK HIM IF HE SAW IT COMMING, AS IT WAS GETTING BIGGER FAST, SO I KNEW IT HAD TO REALLY BE MOVING AT A GOOD CLIP. I GOT "DO YOU SEE"..... SPOKEN, AS IT PASSED BY OUR CAR. HE SAW IT AND IT SCARED HIM SO BAD, HE WAS ALOVER THE ROAD.IT WENT OUT OF SIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS IN FRONT OF US. IT WAS A MOONLESS NIGHT AND SO BLACK OUT THAT IT REALLY WAS HARD TO COMPARE THE SIZE TO ANYTHING. WE WERE SURROUNDED MY MOUNTAINS, BUT COULDN'T SEE THEIR OUTLINE. THE THING THAT WAS MIND BOGGLING, WAS THE COLOR. IT WAS A FLOURESENT GREEN, NO LIGHT WAS AROUND IT, IT WAS HARD EDGED, I GUESS. HARD TO DISCRIBE, BUT NEITHER ONE WILL FORGET IT. I CAN SEE IT AS CLEAR AS IF I SAW IT YESTERDAY.
