Bright light moving quickly, no flashing indicator, not straight path

This isn’t the first time that I have seen this kind of thing, however not heading this direction. It resembles the lights seen in the Skinwalker Ranch show. I got up in the middle of the night to help my sick daughter, and went to my kitchen window and was wondering if I might see this thing and it just appeared. It went left to right, west to north east. It is a brighter white light than a satellite, we see them often, and we’ve seen Starlink too. It seems too low to be a satellite, and it doesn’t have any flashing lights. The weirdest thing is that it doesn’t follow a direct path, but wobbles slightly, and appears to slow down and speed up randomly. It does follow a direction, but not in the same gentle motion as a satellite. This one I followed til it vanished in the trees, though the other ones we have seen disappear before it reaches the horizon. I didn’t have my cell phone with me at the time.

My mother and I saw sky open, something large come beside the sun, then the sky closed back up.

My mother and I were driving home from my stepfathers calling hours. The gray sky opened in the middle and the sun came out. I pulled over and took a picture because I’ve never seen anything like it. At one point I asked my mom, “how can the sun and moon be right beside each other like that”? I pulled over again twice taking pictures because of what was going on in the sky. It all went away just as fast as it came out and the sky closed back up. When I turned the live pictures from my IPhone into short videos, there was a green moving orb or disk that we were not seeing move with the naked eye.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Changed Colo

Three bright white lights in a perfect triangle pattern that then disappeared to reappear as a blue streak moving at great speed.

I work as an airport firefighter. My shift starts at 2:00am. Since, I make this drive in the dark everyday, I'm very familiar with the normal towers, FAA obstruction beacons and such. On my drive in, near the small town of Crestline, KS. I looked North and noticed three very bright white lights in a perfect triangle pattern. They appeared to be hovering in place, possibly as low as 100-200 feet off the ground, but at night it's hard to judge that. Confused, as I knew there wasn't anything in that area cell-tower wise, my first thought was a possible military helicopter formation with their forward facing landing lights on. Again, since I work in aviation on the graveyard shift, I'm used to seeing aircraft lighting. However, these lights didn't have any of the other mandated FAA aircraft lighting. For example, there were no red beacons, no green and red directional lighting, none of it. Just three, perfectly still, perfectly symmetrical bright white! lights. Over the next 15-30 seconds, I had to keep looking back at the road since I was driving 65mph. Each time I looked away, one of the lights would disappear. First there was three, then I looked back and there were only two, then one. Until they were all gone. Still confused as to what I had seen I was simply looking in the general direction of the now dark space the lights previously occupied, and suddenly I saw a bright blue flash, followed by something streaking to the west as fast as I've ever seen anything move in my life. It disappeared over the horizon in just a few seances. That is when I realized it wasn't military helicopters.... I don't know what it was, but it was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I have not photographs or video as it all happened very quickly and I was driving.

Several lights appear, multiply, then disappear in the span of one half hour.

Driving home on state hwy 18, 21:30. Looking south, noticed two very bright lights hovering above what seemed to be Corona CA. I then stopped in a turnout and began to film for twenty five minutes.

The first two lights hovered next to each other for several minutes then each split into two lights.

Minutes later one pair disappeared, then for the next fifteen minutes one light would appear above and to the west from the first, and the lower light would disappear.

It is also important to note that the lights began at exactly 21:30, and ended at exactly 22:00.

Large orange shape shifting object over route 30 Crestline, OH.

Driving west on route 30 in the evening. Noticed large orange shape in sky through the top part of my windshield, object heading south went over my head and lost it in tree line. Moved past the trees about a 1/8th of a mile up. Pulled off the road and got out to watch object continue to move farther south slowly. Shape of object appeared to be that of a jet completely engulfed in orange flames then seemed be a large burning meteor as I observed further. Obviously it was neither, because it changed course to S/W direction while it also increased altitude. Seconds later completely out of sight.

Large orange craft with flickering fiery orange tail over fire works field. UFO Under intelligent control.

On July 4th 2013 at or about 9:45 p.m. I was watching fireworks from my yard on the North side of my garage. I live in Crestline, Ohio. As I watched the fireworks display at the local High School from my yard I noticed what I thought was even more fireworks out of the corner of my eye, through the tree limbs and leaves to my right. As the Glow of these extra fire works became more noticeable for some reason, I began to watch them or as it turned out to watch it.

I observed a large glowing object with a fluctuating orange semi structured, moving orb like craft. I call it a craft because it was definitely under intelligent control. The object left the obscured view from the trees and leaves and showed itself to be moving slightly slower than a small private plane and as the object entered clear sky after a short light misty rain, an orange spherical like object with a fluctuating tail, resembling a rocket engine exhaust flame, slowly navigated from the eastern sky at maybe 3000 ft about the lower altitude of a small private plane. I estimate the size to be similar to the size of a small Cessna at that altitude coming from the direction of north Mansfield, Ohio; as this orange slow comet like object, with a flickering orange tail approached the center of the village of Crestline and the fire works display field, the craft made a gentle course correction to due north towards Cleveland from the east to west trajectory the craft had be! en on.

When the craft was directly overhead there was no sound from any jet engine or a prop. In fact there was no sound at all. It seemed to me only a helicopter could go that slowly and not fall out of the sky but there was no pressure wave from any rotors. And helicopters don't usually glow orange and have a flickering definitely orange tail. This all happened with in the space/time of about 5-7 minutes and the craft gradually and gently increased it's altitude, disappeared into the northern night sky seemingly on its way to Cleveland.

This object was so unusual it drew my attention to it, I have never seen anything like it in the night sky other than a very distant meteor but meteors do not change course and usually have a bluish cast and remain in one trajectory. I have no idea what this object was. I do think this observation merits reporting because of the uniqueness of the circumstances. Make of it, what you will, perhaps more sightings of this object will come to light near the same date and time and geographical location. For me it will remain a UFO for the time being. I do not drink or use drugs, I was eating watermelon in a lawn chair enjoying the fireworks in a light misty rain. I could not discern the actual shape of the craft itself only the dimensions of the bright flickering rocket engine like orange glow from what I assume was directly behind the craft.

Bright UFO between 2 jets

UFO Sighting Report March 15/2010 by ((name deleted))

I was going to my first day of training for the US Census which was to take place in Green Valley Lake which is in the San Bernardino Mountains of California. I live in Crestline, California. My training started at 8:00am so I had to leave Crestline about 7:00am. As I was leaving my home, traveling East along Lake Drive, close to Lake Gregory, I spotted three objects in the morning sky. It was a clear day and the sun was rising. I was about a block from having to make a right turn onto Lake Gregory Drive towards Hwy 18 when I spotted 3 flying objects. I immediately slowed down and glanced in the rear view mirror for just and instant to see if there were any cars behind me. I knew I had to make a turn at the stop sign and would possibly lose sight of them, so I milked the moment and took my time getting to the stop sign. The objects were right in front of me and I had a perfect view through the front windshield. 2 of the objects were jets and the other was a bright glowing ! disc or sphere like UFO which was traveling right in between the 2 jets, flying about the same speed. The jets had their after burners on and I could see the exhaust trail very clearly behind them. The UFO on the other hand had no after burner or exhaust of any kind. They were about 2:00 high and about 30,000 to 40,000 feet up. The jets were small in comparison to the UFO which seemed to be about twice their size. The UFO looked like a bright planet or star, which is what I thought it was at first, but then I realized because it was right in the middle between the two jets and moving along with them, it could be neither. Because the UFO was so bright, I thought the UFO might be reflecting the morning sun but the jets undersides were not reflecting the sun so I deduced that the UFO was lit up on its own accord. I could very well be wrong about that but I figured that the jets being a much duller silver would have been lit up by the sun as well, but they weren’t. I couldn’t ! tell if they were Military jets but they appeared to be so. Th! ey defin itely were not passenger planes and they were moving much to fast. At first the UFO was centered on each side of the two wings of the both jets then as a few seconds passed, it lagged behind a little until it was near there tails. I could make out the UFO more clearly then the jets because it was very bright and much larger and round. The contrast was exiting. I estimated the distance between the two jets and the UFO to be about a ½ mile to a mile on each side. The UFO seemed to darken a little from a bright starry silver to a shiny metallic silver. At one point it looked as if it had blinked off and on very quickly, right before it disappeared. It also seemed to get brighter right before it blinked out. This happened right before my eyes as the two jets kept on the same direction. I was amazed when it did this but this was not the first time I have seen UFO’s and I have seen them make this kind of maneuver before. In fact I have seen them much closer as close as 100 feet! . Back to this sighting, I was glued to this UFO the whole time then it was just gone. This happened right before I made the right turn onto Lake Gregory Drive. I watched a bit more and waited to see if the UFO would blink back in but it did not. As I continued to visually follow the jets I felt a thump as I went off the road onto a burm that was on the right. This happened about a block after I made the right turn. This spectacle had my full attention and I was fortunate that I didn’t hit anything on the right side of me other then dirt. I put on the brakes and came to a stop along side the road, still not taking my eyes of the 2 jets. The 2 jets kept on flying in the same direction with the after burners still on and then gradually they disappeared over the top of the mountain ridge. This took about another minute. I also noted that the exhaust contrail behind the jets were the same, which was about two inches long, so I assumed they didn’t change there speed during the! entire sighting. The jets also did not change direction or di! stance f rom each other the entire time. I concluded that the jets where either escorting this UFO or chasing it. In any case because the UFO fell behind a bit of the jets and the jets didn’t slow down with it, it appeared that the UFO was in full control of the situation. I continued to watch a bit more after the jets and their exhausts contrails were gone hoping the UFO might appear somewhere else, but it didn’t as far as I could see. I had to get to my training class and drive a little faster to make up for the lost time. I did not tell anyone at training but I did tell my family when I got home. Later on that week, I told a couple friends who are UFO buffs. It was an interesting sighting to say the least.

unexplained lights in southern california

at approximately 9:30 pm, my daughter and myself were on our deck looking at the stars as we do frequently, and noticed one extreemly bright light that mooved, more than a satellite would, and would turn so you could see the sides of it lit up. I got out my binoculars, but they werent very strong ones, so it just seemed as a very bright light. since it was getting late, I put my kids to be, then I took a bath. at about midnight, I went back up on the deck, and that light moved about 3 feet froom where I sat, so I think that must have been a great distance up there to move. and it did the same thing, move about 5 inches, then stay and rotate a little. I got out a flashlight and flashed it a few times, then it would move closer again.

Silver disk seen above San Bernardino Valley (5 minutes).

Saw silver disk in air above San Bernardino Valley while driving. Object was stationary for 5 minutes before disappearing suddenly. Couldn't explain it, but called UFO hotline to make a report (later declined).

Was visited by large man from out of town (6'5'', 250lbs) in local bar (never saw him before) same week. Actually, no one ever saw him before.

At the time, I was living in the mountains and didn't visit town very often. He bought me a drink and started asking me questions, referring to things that I'd only know about in my life. It was creepy.

Small metallica white spherical craft in Southern California.

A lot of questions asked in your report form I was not sure how to answer so I will answer them in my report. When I saw the craft it was sometime between one and two o’clock.

I was riding my skate board down the street to friends a house also I live in the mountains and on my street is an opening with a view of most of southern California from San Bernardino to the beach. So as I was riding I stopped to look at the view for a little while when I saw a reflection of something in the mountains on the horizon kind of by the beach. At first I thought it was the reflection of a car driving it was moving slow at this time.

So I decided to watch it and try to figure out what it was at this time still thought it was a car until I saw it move off the mountain and it was in mid air. When this happened, I thought oh maybe it’s a helicopter all I could see was a reflection still.

So I continued watching it when all of the sudden boom it shot from the beach to the bottom of Mount Wilson which from where it came from was about a 1 ½ hour to 2 hour trip in a car. When that happened I could see exactly what the craft looked like it was a sphere about half the size of a jet liner with a white metallic on it and a rectangular black door or something on the front. All it did was go back and forth from where it came from to the bottom of the mountain and incredible speeds almost instantaneously after about 5 minutes of this it shot out over to the beach and disappeared over the horizon of the Pacific Ocean.

I never knew where to report this until now that’s why its taken me so long to report it happened! in 2008.

I have seen Triangle shaped aircrafts in the sky over Crestline Ohio in 5 separate occasions within the 2 weeks and can only conclude that they can be seen consistly again next few days. They hover and shine bright when hovering (brighter than a star)and rise up (still shine bright when rising) and then move NE (towards Mansfield Lahm perhaps) when flying, the crafts arent bright at all and have a blinking red light on one side of it and a blinking white light on the other side. was enuff dusk light to make out a Triangle Shape, with the back end indented. the 1st night i seen 2 of them 1 hovering over the other. both light brightly. each night i see at least 1 craft perform the same sequence in the sky, Fly SW, just to the SW side of Crestline then hover for around 5 mins or so (shining brightly) and then rise high in altitude (still shining brightly) and then fly NE out of sight. They do not make any noise at all. I have not seen them move from side to side, just forward, hovering or rising. my impression is they are Government aircrafts..but what amazes me is...they have simular characteristics and impressions that have been described by astonishing UFO sightings that hover and shine bright. do we have some of this advanced technology tamed? wow

Early mourning sighting

I woke up for no reason, to look out my bedroom window and see a very bright round circular UFO traveling north to south. I live in the Sanbernardino mountains and the skys are very clear with very little light polution. Outside my bedroom I can see millions of stars at night. There is a large cedar tree about 25 feet from my window that blocks some of my view. As I woke up to see this object, it was very peculiar because of it's size. I see jet plane, helicopters, etc. all the time up here and can tell the difference between them very easily. I have also had many encounters with UFO's in my past and I know what to look for and what many of the types look like. As this bright white object traveled, it went about a slow as a satelight moves. I see many of them also but this light was much bigger and was a lot lower in the horizon then satelights. This object faded out a few times then got brighter. Just as it went behind the big cedar tree, I lost sight of it for a while but because I knew this was no ordinary object, I got out of bed to go out on the deck to see it emerge from the other side of the tree. I was tempted to wake up my wife but I didn't want to lose sight of it, so I stayed there watching it. Now as it emerged from behind the tree, it did something very common of UFO's. It stayed bright and I could make out it's shape as a circle with no haze or glow around it. It was completely circular and contained it's brightness within it self. It was much brighter then the stars and the brightness was steady and not twinklely like stars. Then, it began to dim and them brighten up again then dim. Now its was fading, not moving fast, just fading until it completely disapeared within a second right before my eyes. I watched to see if it would appear again down further, but it didn't. It just went out of sight. But before it completely dissapeared, it faded into catregories of brightness. The more it faded the more I could see it was completely round until it dissapeared completely, almost as if it went from very bright to a transparency with just the outline of the circle about it. It was strange but very exciting at the same time. Also this UFO made no sound what so ever. I am an avid UFO watcher and always look up to ketch a glimps of one of these wonders. For some reason, I was woke up at the right time to witness one of these UFO's. This will be the 4th UFO that I have seen since I've lived up here in the last 11 years. MY son has seen 2 of them also. We often go outside at night to look for them. This is one of my favorite past times. I have also written a full report of a very close encounter of the fourth kind that happened to me in 1963. There were many witnesses to this particular UFO that made the headlines in the local papers. I was 14 at the time and a UFO actually gave me a ride in it's craft. I talked to it's occupants and can veryfy every bit of it! If you would like to read this account look up 1963, New Kensington, Pa. I am 54 now and own a catering business called ((name deleted)) in Southern California. I have many true stories of UFO's that would blow most peoples minds so be prepared for the mind jarring instances. If you would like to contact me via email, please do. No crackpots please!

Unusual Flashing lights and explosions over North Central Ohio

At apporoximately 21:00 hours on 09/04/2001, I witnessed a red flashing light appear over the southern sky in North Central Ohio. The Red Light had a duratino of approximately 3 to 10 seconds, with an elevation of approximately 400-500 feet. After the red light disappeared, there was a large bright-white "explosion " between 50-100 feet above the original location of the red light. The "explosion was then accompanied by a smaller flashing blue-white light, hich appeared to be flashing in a pattern. In a rural area, this light was extreamly unusual as there are no power or cellular towers in that direction and area. After observing this for about half an hour, I confirmed with the Local Municipal Airport Radar Control(Mansfield Lahm Internation Airport) that there was indead something in the sky. According to the Controler, there were four objects in that general location that were appearing on radar, but thaey were not any form of known aircraft. They appeared to him as ghost objects on the radar, but kept re-appearing, and were moving almost due North in a straight line, and were moving at an abnormally low rate of speed. After confirmation that what I was witnessing was indeed real, I started observing the lights even closer. The lights appeared top be on a translucent structure between 400-500 foot tall. THere were four red lights forming an almost perfec geometric square. After the Red light would disppear, and before the White lights would start flashing I could see the structure, it was very narrow in appearance. Approximately 20 foot wide. While the lights were not on, I could notice a "cloud" at the very bottom of this structure, but there was no real substance to the structure. I could see landscape behind the object, but it appeared to be distorted, or out of focus. When either of the lights would reappear, the cloud at the bottom would be gone. Also, upon closer investigation ( I Got out the binocular) The red lights appeared to be emitting a laser of some form. You could see the beam due to! the hum idity in the air. At approximately 23:00 I witnessed nine aircraft flying over the vincinity, and appeared to be in a search pattern over the unknown object. Also, I was able to write down the flashing pattern of the lights, and it appears to repeat itself. I know this sounds crazy, but I have seen unusuall lights over this area in the past, and I know I am not seeing things. I am a College Graduate (BA-Business Admin) and I am an Independant Computer Consultant, and I find this information somewhat disturbing. If you have any information about this siting, please let me know.

Bright steady light was observed over Lake Gregory Forth of July celebrate.

Every year at Lake Gregory near Crest Line California they celebrate the Forth of July the weekend before the 4. Thousands of people come to view the show. I have friends that invited me up to view the annual event. The streets of the high mountain community were crowded with thousands of people. The fire works started a little after 9:00. At about 9:20 a bright steady light was observed moving at a rate that could not be explained. There were no flashing lights that could be observed on the object. It moved in form the west toward the east. It then came back around to complete a circle around which the Fireworks where at the center. As the fireworks were going off it made 3 or 4 more circles. The first time it took about 1 min to complete the circle. The circle it made was at least 10 mile across. Which I figured it would have to be moving at about 1800 miles an hour to make the loop in 1 min. It moved slower on the other times around taking about 1 ½ min to make the trip. As it completed the last circle it split into 2 objects and it looked like it dropped straight down without slowing. At the bottom of the drop it merged back into 1 object. It then moved off back in the direction it came from over the mountains. With as many people at this event someone must have video taped it.

Strange light circles over Lake Gregory fireworks show--Hundreds must have seen it. Light then splits in two.

Strange light circling during fireworks show over Lake Gregory area of Crestline, Ca. Show started a 21:00, I saw light at about 21:20 and thought it looked strange, no flashing lights, no sound heard, a white light moving fast. I was in a different location than my family, they said it circled about three times or so, and people were looking at it and saying "it must be a stealth or an F-14". Some said it was a UFO and one nearby man timed it's wide circle at 3 min-40 sec. My wife said it headed about due West and split into two! Hundreds, maybe thousands of people must have seen this "light". I think the fireworks show ended at 21:25. I may be off by 5 minutes or so. I was at 5100 ft. and it seemed to be low at about a 30 degree angle. Lake Gregory is at 4700'. I am a licensed medical person.

ball of light, circled around lake, split into 2 and went over the mountains fast.

My brother and I went to go see ther annual Crestline firework show. As the fireworks started, my brother pointed out a strange light that was circling around the lake very fast. Many must have seen this. It kept circling around the lake until the fireworks were over. It then suddenly split into 2 and went over the mountains at an incredible speed. I am just 13, so most people may not take me seriously. My brother is 21 and we know what we saw. The strangest part was when we were walking back to our cabin talking about the event. We overheard a man describing the exact same event that we were talking about....

Extremely fast light object splits into two after firework show, many witnesses.

We began watching the firework show, when my friend ((male's name deleted)) noticed a strange light in the sky.

We began watching the light more intently then the light show, noticing that there was no noise given off by the object. It was a solid light circling the light show with great speed taking less then a couple minutes to do a complete circle. There were no blinking lights on the object like you would normally see on an aircraft.

As soon as the show ended the light split into two and leveled out, heading westward.

Everytime someone brings up stories about UFO's, I have always brought up this story because I truly believe what we all saw that night was something out of this world.

Light with purposeful maneuvering

To confirm what others have stated here, I too witnessed the circling light above the fireworks being displayed that night. It came in from the east and circled three times before it went west toward the Pacific Ocean where it split into two distinct lights. While circling Lake Gregory there was a jumbo jet in the back ground that appeared to be standing still in the air with its flashing tail light only because of the unidentified "light" those of us on the ground were observing. Because of my stunned state of being at the moment, I could not accurately gauge the time in seconds for which the object was moving but did use the distant airliner as a measure. Unlike the other eyewitnesses I will say that it took approximately 30 to 40 seconds for each pass that would have encompassed at least 4 miles in girth. In addition there was no sound barrier broke.

Professionally I'm a ((deleted--military)) Analyst and have been in the military for the last ((number deleted--decades of service)) years. I've worked around aircraft during much of this time. I'm not one for believing in concoctions or conspiracies but I know what I witnessed that evening. The speed at which this "vehicle" was moving at would have made it impossible for any human being to stand against the velocity of force required. I've come to three conclusions as to what I personally witnessed: 1) It's origination is from this planet from technology that must provide an anti-gravitational device to allow it's human occupants to survive; after all, the SR-71 which comes from our 50's technology had the ability to have it's skin 'stretch' during high velocity speeds. The Aurora project comes to mind.

2) There truly are beings in which God has created that have the ability to extend past their worlds. After all, it would be rather arrogant for us to believe that God wouldn't create life other than our own here on earth.

3) There is the possibility that time is being manipulated here. We've proven that time can be slowed as one approaches light speed so why could it not be stepped out of. Our mathematics shows us there are at least 42 dimensions in space yet we can only realize 4 here on this planet.

Here's a site were one can view so much of the universe we've yet to truly understand in our limited minds.

Duration: +-10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Crestline, CA, USA

Shape: Changing


Object like a cube rose into the air, reached what seemed an air current, changed shape to triangle moving very fast toward east.

My husband and I took a back road drive up a ridge just north of Crestline, CA, one afternoon in late 1995. We parked, got out of the car and were viewing the surrounding area. Of a sudden, my husband called and pointed, “Come, look over there! It looks like that house is rising into the air.” I joined him in time to stand and watch a rectangle like a two-story house rise into the sky. It went slowly up and up until it seemed to be entering a current of air and then was carried along. At first it looked like a box and then it seemed to become a triangle and tumbled in different directions before becoming a sharper triangle and heading east . . . moving faster than anything we had ever seen. The next day, we drove to the area in Crestline we thought was where “the house” had been, but found no unusual signs of such an event.

Our thought, at the time, was that it might be a government experiment and that it was probably headed for the Arizona desert. The diagram is one I felt compelled to record during art class in 2004.

We told family and friends, but no one else . . . not knowing who would want the report. I’m happy to know you are sincerely keeping track and that I won’t be thought to be some crackpot! Ann Tucker Retired Teacher
