Was This The Moon?

I look at stars, moon, etc. Last night standing on porch looking West, I noticed what I thought was the moon, there was a search light going over it while the clouds passing over it, but clouds passed a bit and the search passed over the Moon", it shown like the sun!! Search light passed it again and now clouds over "moon" and it lit up behind the clouds! I ran to the back yard to see if I could see the moon to the East, and nothing, ran back to front porch but could not locate "moon" through the clouds. The moon thing last night was scary. I tried to describe it, just imagine a giant hand with a flashlight in the sky, behind the clouds and the flashlight is turned on every time the searchlight goes over it. I've never seen anything like this.

7-9 unidentified flying objects that vanished quickly.

We witnessed 7-9 unidentified objects emanating a bright red light. These objects were traveling north bound and disappeared quickly. We could definitely tell these were not aircraft as aircraft have a beacon light you can see flicker away into the distance. These items maintained a constant red glow and vanished.

While outside to have a cigarette, I looked up to the 2 o clock position of a compass being North and I saw that would to appear as either a satellite or the US space station making a pass over, but as I clearly held my ground steadily, I observed the object coming over me, I erracticly change direction, in a pattern similar to a small fish swimming in a pond. I stopped myself and steadied my breath and observed it again. And it continued to do the same in a very small grid, and then it went back to a slow straight pattern then once again, making suttle strange movements. I clearly made myself as absolutely steady as possible leaving against my truck. And observed it for a few more minutes continuing it's straight path overhead. It seemed to have some sort of reflective qualities on it. It was very quite out and I heard zero sound and it was very very high. Flying over the Woodley small airplane airport

1 Bright Orange Fireball Looking Sphere In The Night Sky

It was December, 26, 2013 around 11:30pm when i was looking up at the North Star snapping pictures. As I was taking pictures, the object was on my left from where i was standing and was moving to my right. Then this object starting flying upwards for about 20 seconds and disappeared. What i did noticeabout this UFO was that there was no strobe lights it was just one solid orange color it was glowing in the sky sort of like a shine from a fire but i doubted it was fire until investigated and seen recent reports of a mystical "ufo fireball" and then stated to believe that’s what i saw. When i was snapping the pictures the object was in motion. If you rewiew my pictures and zoom in on every picture you’ll see the orange orb. On the pictures that show the tree was when the object was flying upwards, on these pictures i had the camera on slow shutter speed at 2 seconds i believe i took pictures of a UFO. I would please like everyone to review my pictures and my report.

I really know that what i saw was not of this earth

I was in my back yard, i looked up at the sky because it was very clear. I was able to see more stars than ever before. I then all of a sudden focused in on one star in particular that seemed like it was showing movement, i then called my girlfriend to come outside to confirm that i wasn't going crazy, she also saw what i saw and got scared just to go back inside. I was amazed, i finally saw a craft that was flying in impossible angles, I would really like to report this to someone that is going to give me some kind of feedback, about what it was that saw. Also, id like to add that at first when my girlfriend and i went outside to look at the stars, she was looking at a direction that i could not see with my peripheral vision when all of a sudden she said "Ohhh my god!, I just saw a shooting star", but i assume that shooting stars fall down, not zoom up, which is the direction she said she saw it fly.

Red Star like light in LA night sky

I noticed a bright light in the night sky (to put the luminosity and size into perspective, try and imagine Mars at it brightest X 2 and its luminosity about twice as bright)At first I thought it was some type of aircraft so I tried to determine if there was any movement. I noticed some movement though it was slow and purposeful. It was bright red - which is why I thought it was some type of aircrafe - and seemed to oscillate in its luminosity. It would grow brighter and larger then reduce in luminosity and size in no apparent pattern. We used a cheap Camcorder with a slight zoom lens to see a closer picture of whatever it was and it appeard in the small LCD as a red disk. After about ten minutes time it just dissappeared. About 90 seconds later in another part of the night sky - what appeared to be a shooting star appeared.

IT WAS A CLEAR SKY WHEN MY COUSIN AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. WE LOOKED UP AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND SAW AN OBJECT WHICH APPEARED TO BE A SORT OF LONG TUBE WITH 4 WINGS STICKING OUT THE SIDE. THE WINGS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE FLAPPING LIKE A BIRD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS ONE LONG UFO OR TWO UFO VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTER. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE UFO, BUT YOU COULD SEE A LIGHT GREYISH COLOR.

Egg/Saucer over Los Angeles

I was driving East down El Segundo Blvd., as I approached Wilmington Ave, I noticed in the North-East direction an amber/peach colored egg shaped object rotating and hovering with a white blinking light at the top of the object. The object appeared to tack through the air in a south easterly direction; it would vertically float down in a straight line, and move up-wards at about a 35 degree angle to move through the air. Out of shock, I disregarded where I needed to go, and proceeded past Wilmington Ave to follow the object.

Out of fear as I neared Willowbrook Ave I discontinued following the object (ironically not one person was outside). The object eventually fell out of site and appeared to land in an industrial part of Compton in a South-Easterly direction near what I would approximate to be east of Santa Fe & Alameda. This is when it gets really strange. I was initially going to church for a “new couples” marriage counseling session, so I turned around ! with my wife, proceeded West on El Segundo Blvd, headed South on Wilmington Ave, made it to church and proceeded with the counseling session. About 1 hour later as we exited the church I excitedly informed the pastor as to what I observed, crouched down only to notice the object outside of the church to the north, hovering and rotating behind a tree. At this point I got in my car and drove home.

Photoflash light, very intense, very quick, very deliberate.

I am a US Army Medical Officer, speaking from a childhood experience. As an adult, the military has taught me to take on all challenges and to accept no fear, accomplish the mission. I am in my late forties and have done it all and seen it all. Now before I die and leave this earth some day, somebody has to know this one little thing. I was about 7 and was in bed and the bright light flashed outside, so bright, the walls glowed. I covered up for a moment. Stuck my head out of the blanket and there was two things, big heads, large plate black eyes, slight glow looking dead at me. I hid in the blankets terrified for about 5 minutes, peaked out...they had their face right in my face. I have seen a lot of death and destruction in my military career, more than you can ever imagine, but this one childhood experience with this unknown thing lurking around my bedroom is the most frightening.

This sighting was filmed with a 8mm by one of the little league coach, with me in the foreground.

I was helping the coach pick up the equipment when she said "look at the flying saucers" then she got her 8mm camera out and started filming with me in the foreground. This film then was turned over to the Gov. , and about 10 days later two Air Force officers came to my school and found me and ask if I would talk to them about the sighting, they were from Project Blue Book. This interview was Approx. 1hr. I was 12 years old at the time and did not realize the importance of that interview.

Fast forward to 1969 when watching television program on ufo's and at the end of this program they said " they are 3 sighting that cannot be explained and the first one was them showing the 8mm film with me in the foreground pointing at the two ufo's.

How can I get this report from the Project Blue Book ?

I had a near death experience at the age of 14, and have had 5 other sighting in my 81 years of life. So this is number 1 of 6 .
