It was literally exactly how people picture out ufos to be. Grey with dome top and suacer shape for bottom, with either 4/5 lights

I was exiting off highway 113 from woodland, CA onto county road 29 then I looked to my left saw it, then did a double take cause I was caught off guard, and it was confirmed by my eyes I really did see it. Then I kept looking back after that in disbelief. I should have a took a video I regret not, but I was in shock and scared to be abducted(stupid ik) lol. But about 30 seconds after I saw it I kept driving and kept looking back to try to see it again but didn’t (could have been behind the trees there or just gone). It was grey with a dome top, saucer shaped bottom. About 4/5 circular lights on it, not on the very bottom but in the middle of the saucer. It was dark out, no sunrise/sun at all. No clouds in the sky nothing.

Roaring noise in sky lasts 5 minutes then fades out

The following incident occurred at Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia during the late morning hours on September 5th. This was the final stop following a trip to Baltimore the night before for a concert. I had planned to pull an all-nighter following the concert, having left Baltimore just after 2am, then traveled a few hours west on I-70 and I-68 through the mountainous terrain of western Maryland. I stopped for breakfast at Denny's in LaVale, MD sometime after 5am then decided to go up to Dan's Rock, a mountain overlook at approximately 3,000 feet in elevation, to catch the sunrise. I leave for West Virginia after that.

I get to Blackwater Falls just after 9:30am. It was broad daylight, not a cloud in the sky. There was nobody other than me in the parking lot. I walk down from the parking lot to the boardwalk which meanders down the hillside leading up to the falls. I check out the falls, take a bunch of pictures and walk through the wooded terrain. At this point, it was past 10:15am. A few people had also arrived.

I start to ascend back up the hillside towards the parking lot. As I'm walking down the path, I hear the loudest roaring sound overhead, which seemed to come out of nowhere. It went from just being noticeable to being immensely loud unlike anything I've heard before. That lasted for a good 5 minutes or so. I couldn't see anything overhead as the trees were blocking much of the sky. I kept walking as this sound continued, then before I got to the parking lot, the sound faded out and then nothing.

I went to the gift shop to buy a drink. I asked the cashier if they had heard the sound and they said yes. They acknowledged that it seemed odd, but they were working and didn't see anything. The area is remote and mountainous and the nearest airport is over 50 miles away.

Two lights, one still, one moving, another appeared all moving, they got bigger and brighter as if they were getting closer.

There were two yellow lights, it seemed like the bigger brighter one was still, but the smaller one was seemed to be moving. The bigger one was moving with the smaller one, as if they were connected on one craft, but it only seemed like the smaller one was moving up and down. Another light appeared above the bigger one. It was the smallest, it too was yellow. It seemed like, as we were driving the lights were moving across the sky, only the smaller two were going up and down. When we were getting close to Davis, the lights seemed brighter and bigger too sort of a bright reflection on them. And then they disappeared behind the trees, even when we looked at the direction they were, we couldn't see them.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

I saw two bright lights, one appearing red and the other blue, complete three oval-like circuits wherein one flew over the other.

At approximately 12:15 AM, I was standing on the roof of the Social Sciences and Humanities building on Davis campus and looking out in a north/northeastern direction. I noticed some bright lights in the sky, which struck me as being a few miles out; they were more luminous than any plane, star, or planet. At first I assumed they were planes coming directly at me, but I quickly realized that they were moving parallel to me rather than perpendicular. I took out my phone and began filming at 12:20. The two objects, moving in opposite directions, completed two long ellipse like maneuvers where one would pass over the other when they met in the middle. I also noticed at one point that the object to the right (east) appeared to stand still for about 20 seconds (at the point in the video where I point this out it appears to have just started moving again), although it is possible that it was just moving very slowly. About 9 minutes into filming, both objects dipped below the tree line in front of me (as I said they seemed some miles out, so I didn’t think they were as low as the trees, it just appeared so) and disappeared from sight. At 12:42 I saw one briefly reemerge above the trees. At 12:49 both reappeared and I began filming again. I still thought they might be planes executing some kind of long bank maneuver, because at one point the object on the left (west) appeared to glow the brightest at approximately the time that it changed direction and began moving the other way. They performed one more ellipse, and at this point I noticed that the light on top was red and the one on the bottom was blue or white. Shortly after this final maneuver, first the blue and then the red light disappeared below the tree line one more time, not to reappear for me. I noticed another bright light, but it was directly over Sacramento and heading my way, so I assumed it was a plane. I’m a history major at UC Davis, but I’ve always loved the cosmos—my favorite Christmas present ever was a telescope. I’ve become interested in UAPs specifically over the course of the last few years. I'll post a screenshot of exactly where I was in the images section.

Location details: North edge of town at Wildhorse Agricultural Buffer

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Electrical or magnetic effects

Eight foot diameter metallic disk with pointed crown-like prominences along its rim, cruising SW to NE 100 yards above head.

I was walking along a gravel trail from west to east at the Wildhorse Agricultural Buffer on the north edge of Davis, CA. It's a re-wilded nature area along a golf course. The sun was still high. I stopped to video bees swarming around a large 15' foot tall bush. Turned off the camera and looked up. There was a metallic object silently moving from SW to NE maybe 100 yards above me. At first I thought it was a balloon, but no; it was too big, probably 6'-8' in diameter. It reminded me of the type of clam shell with spikes or protuberances coming out of the rim. Also looking like the animal, giant sea star, but the arms (spikes) were very short. It looked organic and crown-like, but was dark metallic. It looked like copper or bronze with a dull matte finish. It was cruising along to the NE at only 200-300 feet above the ground, wavering, but never flopping over and maintaining it's altitude. Here's the weird part: I raised up my phone, turned on video and said "Thank you" out loud, because I knew this was really unusual. Held up the phone to the object, observing both it and my screen at the same time, but the object would not show up on my screen. Even though I was staring at it in the sky. I zoomed in and out, noted where it was with reference points of cloud edges and nearby trees, but it just wouldn't appear on my phone screen. I kept shooting and watched it cruise out of sight to the NE at maybe 30 to 50 mph. I walked back to my car and checked the footage. It wasn't there. When this first caught my eye, I felt elated. Now I felt uneasy. It was like this thing saw me and didn't want me to take its picture. I felt like a lab rat, and I've never felt that way before. I took the images home home and ran them through photoshop, trying out filters that can find edges of things, but they found nothing. It's my word against the world on this one, but I know what I saw, and I wasn't hallucinating. I will keep looking skyward. I'm a private pilot. That doesn't make me an aviation expert, but I've got a somewhat trained eye for estimating distance, size of craft, elevation, and speed. There are weird things flying around up there in the sky.

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Oval shaped metallic object with two lights that appeared to move back and forth between the ends.

My racing pigeons were flying around the property and while watching them I noticed a bright object in the sky coming from the south. I assumed that when it got closer it would turn out to be an areophane, but something compelled me to keep watching it. When it did get closer I saw that it did not have wings and was somewhere between oval and Tic Tac in shape. It had a metallic appearance and had bright lights at either end (this could have alternatively been reflection from the sun to the west). As it got closer it gradually changed directions and began heading east. It did not change orientation as it changed its direction of travel by 90 degrees. As it moved away the lights appeared to switch back and forth between the two ends. I continued watching it as it got further away, but I looked away briefly as the property owner’s dog had seen me and began barking. When I looked back to the object it was then dark with no bright areas and after looking away bri! efly again I could no longer find it. I estimate the time of day to have been between 18:00-19:30 and the duration of the sighting to be approximately 5 minutes.

Horizontal string of lights evenly spaced flying in a straight line

A group of friends and I went camping at turner falls from the evenings of October 23rd through the 25th. Around 9-10 pm on Saturday the 24th a string of 15-20 spheres of light flew above us. They were all equally spaced in a straight horizontal line. It flew at about what appeared to be 30,000 feet in the air according to the air traffic controller who happened to be a part of the group. It flew above us for 20-30 seconds and then slowly faded and disappeared. It didn’t shoot out of the sky or suddenly disappear, it faded into oblivion.

Bright laser lights symmetrically aligned in a linear formation slowly moving

Several dot shaped laser lights slowly traveling in a linear formation were seen at Turner Falls Park by ten of us at about 8pm. Looked like Braille and consisted of about 10-20 dots and were symmetrically spaced. Lasted about 20 seconds and slowly faded. Reminiscent of a plane trailing a banner behind it, but it was very high in the sky and very bright before the dots faded. The sighting was seen by a group of us that included an air traffic controller and we were all not quite sure as to what we had seen.

Looked like the little dipper, but then all at once, the lights burst away and went in different directions.

My boyfriend and I were visiting my family where I grew up. My family lives in the country, about 6 miles outside of town.

We were outside letting the dogs out, and we were looking at the eastern part of the sky. We saw what looked to be the Little Dipper, but the stars were moving extremely slow down in the sky. After about 1 minute of watching the set of stars move downward, they suddenly burst away from one another and started flying erratically in different directions, and some even changed colors from a white color to more of a green/white color. For about 10-20 seconds, we watched them move about in said manner, and then they flew away in different directions back up into the sky where they were no longer visible.

Seven moving stars spotted on a clear night sky.

I was lying down on my bed and gazing the night sky through the window. The sky was clear and there were many stars visible which appears stationary. It was early morning time around 5am when I noticed one star moving slowly and then increasing its speed. I notice that there was at least 7 such stars following it and all these stars were at the same distance from each other and moving at the same speed. To make sure I was not dreaming, I woke my wife up and she also witnessed these stars moving. They were moving in the direction of the moon. Next to the moon we also noticed a bright star. The view from the bedroom was limited so we decided to go to our backyard and view it more clearly. By the time we were out and looked up the sky, we could not see them anymore. We were able to witness these UFO for at least 2-3 mins and they looked spectacular. We could still see stars in the sky but all appeared stationary. This was truly remarkable and wonder if anybody else noticed this.

Hundreds of “satellite light” type craft heading inland to Nevada

(I live on an airport in the Central Valley. If I am facing north, to my left, about 7 miles away are the mountains containing Lake Berryessa. Because the ground is flat, to my right I can see all the way to Sacramento, thirty or so miles away. At night I can see sky scrapers. Where I am, in the sticks, is mostly void of city light.

Also have you ever gone camping, away from the city, to where the sky is fuller of stars than you’ve ever seen? Have you ever spotted a satellite flying over you, on its singular strait pathed orbit? Or perhaps the international space station? It has a different path and is faster and brighter than satellites. The only reason you see the satellite, is because the sunlight is reflecting from the sun, off of them to you. And on its path, if it happens to duck behind the earth as you’re watching it. Shows the sunlight slowly start to fade as it does. Otherwise you can watch satellites travel their path for many many miles until they become dim from the curvature of the earth. They absolutely look like one solid point of light just like the surrounding stars. Get stars kind of have a slight red blue flicker to them if you really concentrate on them.

I’ve also spotted what seems to be a high-altitude jet that must be secret, really high up in the stratosphere, yet leaving the usual ice trail that any regular jet would leave. I am a skydiver. I live on an airport. I grew up next to an airport. I was a ship look out in the Coast Guard. If I don’t know about anything else, I should at least be able to spot a craft in the air, on the land or sea. And be able to hypothesize as to what it is.) It was 4 am. I walked out my door facing east. Out of the corner of my left eye, my attention was brought to a satellite looking type of light. But if was almost at a fourth five degree angle from me. I turned to loo at it. It was not an aircraft. It was not blinking. It had no running lights. It was as if I was looking up in the sky and spotting a satellite way up above our atmosphere. Yet, this thing had to be about a mile away from me, at 20,000 to 30,000 ft. It was heading towards my right, with is a path towards Sacramento.

(Interesting fact. At night, during normal not virus. You can watch the commercial jets flying in and out of the Sacramento airport in the way of my view of the city. All day, all night. Difference with this night. We are all coincidentally all stuck at home. No jets. No one getting up to go to work. No one to see what I was seeing.) As this thing passed me, I realize it’s being followed by another one, about a mile to three miles behind it. Same path. Same speed, which is under a hundred casual. As that one passed my position, another one behind that. Now I’m watching seven, eight, nine go passed. One of them was different. The only one out of the entire night. It was spinning in a different direction than the path it was on with its buddies. The side I was looking at, was just as bright as the rest. But once it spun its other side around. It was as bright as a strobe. Not strobing, solid light. Nothing about these things were blinking. Just a bright period floating by.

At one point a second path was formed, to the side of the original path and light points. It was closer to me, and started a pattern of the same spaces light sources, but staggered from them. Now they were coming in bulk. Same configuration, but continuous. After about ten minutes, I counted fifty of these things before running back in for my iPhone. When I came back out, I had lost count. But they just kept coming. I’m in the parking lot trying to take pictures of them, but the light is too low for the phone. I start trying to call people in my area. No one picks up, other than the owner of the property I’m on. I tell him to go out and look at these things. I explain to him what to look for and he goes.

These things were coming from what my perspective saw as the bottom half star of the Big Dipper. At four in the morning, if I’m looking north, the Big Dipper is to my north west. The handle is sticking strait up, ladles open in facing right to the north. The handle would be positioned over what I’d say is in the direction of Calistoga. If you follow that path, it probably brings you to the ocean after Jenner going north, and fort brag. All Mendocino county. Forrest and open land forever. No one but sleeping farmers to see. The path to my right takes them south past Lake Tahoe. If you follow that path. Well. Area 51. Over the the hour that I was out there watching. They must have realized the path they took was a bit close to sac, and too close to the ground. Because by the time the end was wrapping up, their path had gained altitude, and had corrected more south heading towards Lodi (south, the direction of the moon and Jupiter/mars). That was taking them right over my head! about a mile up. I took a picture of the last two that were together, but with an iPhone it’s garbage.

I watched this go on for more than an hour, and had watched more than a hundred go past. When I was able to get my landlord up, he text me about ten minutes later and said he saw what I was seeing. By then, it died down to just about one a minute. They were still coming in when dawn broke and I could hardly see them anymore. So I went back to bed. The next morning I woke up at four, just to see if I could spot anything. I was out there for ten minutes. I spotted three. This morning I tried again. I stood out for about twenty minutes. And did spot two. But everything was so overcast. It could have been anything.

In backyard around 18:45 looked up towards Orion’s Belt and to the right of it I saw two very bright “stars” that I hadn’t noticed before. I was thinking about getting my phone to identify with a star app and with that thought they both began to fade and were gone.

Lighthouse-like light rotating in sky.

I was walking around at night. I was under a brightly lit parking lot, so i couldnt see the stars, but then i noticed a light that started very dim and got brighter, and then faded out again. I would describe it as looking exactly like a lighthouse light rotating around. I kept watching and it kept fading back in and out. Sometimes it would be a sudden bright light turning on and off, but it was mostly like a lighthouse light rotating most of the time. While I was under the brightly lit area I was unable to determine if it was moving or not, but it appeared to stay in the same spot as I walked. I was able to get to a darker area where I could see the stars, and I watched it continue to rotate in and out of brightness, but it was becoming less frequent and less bright.

Then i noticed it was moving away slowly, and i eventually lost sight of it. Some might say this is an iridium flare, but it kept on rotating for about five minute, and sometimes would just flash a single light. It was very bright at first, so bright that I could see it under the brightly lit area I was under. I think the brightness of it had decayed significantly once I was able to see the rest of the stars.

I also saw 2 other lights moving across the sky. I've seen these before, and think they might have just been satellites, but I figured I should report it since I saw them around the same time.

Red Triangular Lights, With Multicolored Lights Randomly Between them (31sec. Video)

My dog was kind of acting up, and she had done so a few nights before. She seemed anxious, and seemed to want me to take her out. She had done this a few nights before, and I had taken her out. When I went outside I remember hearing a loud sound, of what seemed like horns, or trumpets from all around. I remember it being very early in the morning, maybe two am, and thinking, why isn't anyone else waking to this sound. I thought about it later, and thought maybe my dog had heard the sound, and that is why she wanted to go out.

So On October 2nd, when my dog did this again I was much quicker to go outside. Again I heard the horn/trumpet sound, though this time it seemed a bit muted, almost like I was hearing it in a vacuum, similar to hearing the ocean in a seashell. I looked over the horizon and saw nothing, then from overhead noticed what appeared to be a triangle of lights, with what appeared to be randomly moving lights running between each of the triangle points. It was very large, and all I could really see were the lights, and definitive darker, more shadowed area within the confines of the lights on the corners. It continued to move away from me in a Southern direction, and reached a point on the horizon where is seemed to remain still, or in a relatively central location for a few minutes. I was able to get 31 seconds of video with my cell phone, and then the battery died. The video was shot prior to it reaching the location on the horizon where it hovered,and I opted to stay and watch it, as opposed to trying to go in and get a quick charge on my phone to record more video (Which is what I did after watching it hover for a few minutes on the horizon, when I returned to try to record more, it was gone.) I have seen a lot of unusual air traffic, late night, early morning in this area. I am very close to a small airport, but the planes that fly in, both day and night are distinctly different than what I heard or saw on the 2nd. and on the previous night. I will keep looking, and hopefully get more video, should it occur again.

10 orbs in scattered formation with fast moving satellite overhead

While driving on us 50 east, in or around Davis, CA, at 12:05 am on 8/18/2012, I saw about 10 orb or tear shaped objects. They were not in any precise formation, but appeared to be all along the same plane. They were off the 50 west side of the freeway, varying from 200 to 500 feet off the ground. They were extremely bright (yellowish light). They were completely stationary, not bobbing in the wind, and appeared motionless. I slowed to about 35 MPH in the fast lane, and several other vehicles were slowed to the same speed or less, and I assume they were looking at the same thing.

A light passing fast overhead caught my eye as I was looking at the orbs. It was like a satellite or falling falling star. The falling star was no where near the orbs, and appeared to be in space, but it added to the excitement of what I was seeing. The orbs were so bright I could not make out any kind of structural properties (like being a solid craft or not).

I am 42, and this is ! my first ever UFO sighting.

3 white lights and 1 red seen over field in Davis

As I was driving down Pole Line past Harper Jr High, I looked out to my left and saw 3 bright white lights in a triangle form. I thought it was a plane but it didn't have the blinking hazard lights on the ends.

It had 3 white lights in a triangle formation and under the frontmost light there seemed to be a red light. It moved farther away from me over the course of a few minutes. The movement was very smooth. As it moved away it seems like it turned almost on its side and went higher up.

Now I'm not sure if it was one triangular craft or 3 moving independently of each other.

I sadly had to stop watching and drive.

As I was driving in East Davis at approximately 22:35, I noticed 3 fairly close orange balls in the sky hovering and not moving. At first I thought someone had launched some sort of lanterns or lights, but the objects began moving apart and then quickly started moving East towards Sacramento (fairly fast).

I pulled over so I could have a closer look. The objects were fairly low just above the treeline and the ojects had a very bright orange color. They were clearly not an aircraft as their movement away from eachother was non linear. There were no sounds present.

I have never seen anything similar in this town before.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

A fuzzy orange ball of light first seen as star approaches quickly before making turn and climing out of sight.

I was standing in my backyard, facing south, looking at the sky, around 9:30 PM. I glanced over to the right and saw what I thought was a star but it looked different. It was glowing brightly and orange in color. This “star”, I now noticed, was moving toward me from the WSW. I removed my glasses briefly as I thought the “star” look blurry and thought maybe my glasses were dirty. In the next moment the object appeared to be much closer and changed from the size of a distant star to what seemed the size of a street light, still high in the sky but with a warmer more orange color. Than it just turned to the south and began to move away climbing higher and higher until it was just a tiny dot and then was gone.

I was never able to tell the altitude, the speed must have been incredible, but I could not even guess how fast it was traveling. And there was absolutely no sound, complete silence.

Lights chasing each other and disappearing

I was standing outside smoking with a friend. She suddenly exclaimed, "Oh My GOD, What is that?" I tried to look and saw nothing. She described lights that were red and seeming attached by a 'string' wobbly around each other in the tree line nearby. When I looked they were gone. We began to walk closer and at that moment I saw two lights (white or yellow in color) zoom into view from behind the trees. They instantly stopped about 25 feet or so outside of the tree line and then sped back in the opposite direction chasing each other. They were around 10 feet apart and maintained the distance. We never saw them again.

We looked into the sky for answers and we saw a strange star.... we were told it was Sirius, but the coincidence made us worry. I have never seen anything like what we saw originally. It was about 20 feet off of the ground and moved in perfect precision to it's partner. Soon afterwards we saw plane trails high in the sky. We never see them here in the night, we are not near an airport.

Saw what appeared to be a very bright star.

The light subtly flickered and began to move, increasing it's speed with distance.

WIERD AS HECK

Me and my family were laying down watching a meteor shower and a meteor flew by and then another object came by and sucked it in or like destroyed it or something but the first one disappeared. We were convinced in the beginning that the first disintegrated but the second one kept circling around and then there was a light flash like lightning and a pop and the object was gone

Large Flickering Light

I was leaving work at Blackwater Falls, approaching the intersection of Rt. 32 when I noticed something in the sky out toward Rt. 93. The object caught my eye because it was very large (larger than any star, planet, or satellite that I've ever seen) and was flickering. After turning onto Rt. 32, I decided to proceed onto Rt. 93 to get a better look, as I thought that it may be a helicopter. I stopped about 1 mile down Rt. 93 and turned off my vehicle. I got out and listened to see if I could hear a sound coming from the object, such as rotors. The object made no sound at all. Upon determining that it wasn't a helicopter, I got freaked out and left about as quickly as I had come.

The object flew overhead at great speed in a north northeast direction. and began slowing down as it reached about 60 degrees above the horizon. The Slowing of the object was accompanied by a spiraling movement. When the object stopped it disappeared momentarily then reappeared moving in a zig zag pattern then resumed its original course.

Green light in the sky

At approximately 7:30 p.m. on 11/12/08 I was outside on my balcony with a green light caught my eye. It looked to be falling from the sky. I wondered what the heck it was and wished I had had my camera. I only saw it for about 15 seconds as there is a church across the street from my balcony and it looked to fall behind the church.

The next morning at 8:45 a.m. I was listening to the radio and there were people calling in saying they had seen the same thing.

Driving on I-80 in Davis, CA, when we saw bright sphere of light with a tail flying low and serpentine towards us!

We were driving on I-80, going south,when we saw a very bright large sphere of light hovering just over hills. We thought it was a plane getting ready to land. But then it suddenly dove straight down. It had a comet like tail. It then hovered again.

Then it started flying slowly in a Serpentine fashion in our direction. It was exremely bright. It then hovered again in one spot not moving.

Then all of a sudden it dove to the right at a very high rate of speed behind some trees in the very near west of us.

light with tail doing serpentine manuever over I-80 in Davis

I first observed what I thought was a plane waiting to land. We were traveling south on I-80 in Davis. The object was traveling north. It was at first about 11:oo in our direction but moved over to the 1:00 position. It seemed to hover at a stand still without moving for a couple of minutes. I am sure other people had to see this as there were many people on the freeway. What shocked us into believing that this was a ufo, was the fact that suddenly from a hovering and still position it seemed to dive rapidly staight down,just dropping,maybe a thousand feet,that is when we saw a strobe like tail behind it. Then it stopped and hovered not moving once again. Then it began to fly in a sepentine fashion towards us, zig-zagging back in forth at a slower speed, very rythmically like a snake as if it were putting on a show. At this point it was much closer and very bright white light!.The lighted strobe like tail was very evident as it was doing it "s" shaped manuever. Then It suddenly picked up speed again, rose a little higher and then dove quickley.It was headed at a slant toward the trees that were at the 3:00 position from us and it disappeared. It was very dramatic ,and very close. I would describe it as a stingray shape and the whole object was lit up. It was illuminating bright white light. The compass, milaege and temperature navigator in our jeep went a little goofy for a while.

huge ball of light that seemed out of place with the given context of the sky when I looked up

Was out on nightly walk with boyfriend when I glanced up at the sky and was shocked to see this enormous ball of light blurring across the sky. The sky was dark black, with normal stars appearing as stationary, pure white twinkles, but then this ball was a circular mass infused as a bright white/blue light encircling it. I gasped, and tried to focus my eyes on it, but we were walking in the middle of a park at the time and before I could see more, tall trees obscured my vision and there was nothing in that spot in the sky when I got around the trees. My boyfriend saw nothing, he was looking at the ground. It's just, the size of the ball really scared me because compared to the stars in the sky it was just so abnormally huge. Like if the stars, from where I stood, look like specks of dust, this looked like a softball. It seemed like it was traveling down, falling or just zooming downward toward the left of where I was facing. The size of this blur terrified me because it just seemed so out of place in the sky.

Davis, OK......light hovers silently over us..

I am 26 yrs old, warehouse worker....my brother is 20 warehouse worker..

Ardmore, OK AUG 25 2007..We were laying in our motel parking lot…I noticed a very bright star in the NE sky. We didn’t think much about it, just noticed that it was the brightest star. It caught my eye again and I noticed it was moving directly toward us. I had time to say “should we run“ twice before this light was traveling directly over us.

It wasn’t extremely bright or large…..It hovered past us at a very decent speed…. I couldn’t see any shape really, but as this white light past and I was looking at what could be called the back of the object/light. I saw red white and blue lights flash repeatedly in a horizontal line. But still no shape. This lasted maybe 20 sec as the object flew into the SW sky. We just stood there...very confused Within 5-10 min. We saw another white light that appeared in the distant NW sky. This light was flashing red white and blue as well. I think it was the same one… It was moving in short and very fast spurts in all directions/diagonally. When it would move, only the white light was visible. We watched this flashing and moving for about 30-45min. I then saw two more lights, basically appear close to the first light forming a triangle. These never flashed or moved.

While observing this……I saw something out of the corner of my eye…..I turned my head “WHAT THE HELL?” Luckily my brother saw this too…It saw a cylinder shaped object ..it was transparent… energy, about 20 feet in the air, with a sphere like “head“. That’s the only way to describe it..this was the weirdest part of the sighting..

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing …I’m so glad my brother saw the same things….. I don’t think I would be sane today THEN two more extremely bright lights appeared to the right of the already present 3 light. These light had slight up/down movements. The light would dim so much it was barely visible, when this happened I saw sphere shaped outlines behind the lights.. my brother did not see these sphere outlines. As the light would get bright again the shape could not be seen…If the one on the right moved up then the one the left would move down, simultaneously. These were very short and barely noticeable. I cant determine the distance of the two. But they appeared to be closer than the first 3...we watched this for like 2 hrs.

During this, we saw 4 shooting star. Orange in color…another weird thing is that at the hotel 3 stray cats were all over us. I mean friendly like we had had them for ten years..

very strange...but i loved it!!!! FYI: Ft. Sill is less than 20 miles from this location

Saw a phasing orange/blue circular light , later saw a similar light at a different location in the sky

My friend and I had plans to go out and use his old telescope to check out the full moon and stars. After he picked me up, we drove to a spot in west Davis, off of a road surrounded by empty fields, somewhere to get away from the city lights. We really were not that far out, maybe half a mile to a mile from decently lighted areas, but it was the best we could find on the spot. We arrived at the scene, just off of a two way road at about 10:30 PM. After spending about 10-15 minutes setting up the telescope, we quickly were able to find and focus in on the moon. The view was very clean and clear, filling most of the viewfinder.

After enjoying the moon for a few minutes, we decided to search for stars. We turned the telescope the other way, facing north-west. As my friend tried to focus in on a star at about 10:50 or earlier, I noticed a orange-blue/green light that seemed to be phasing from colored to not visible, or in and out of light, about every 1-2 seconds. It was brighter than a star, and seemed to be at airplane altitude. I could not tell how far away it was. For this reason, I quickly dismissed it as an airplane. As my friend continued to search for a star for a bit, I tried to figure out the light again. By this time, the light had not significantly moved in any direction, and appeared stationary to me. The light was still phasing. I told my friend to stop bothering with the telescope, and to just look at the light with his naked eye. We began discussing what it could be. By now we had both agreed that it was not an airplane because it was not moving significantly, and that it was not a star, because it was a phasing orange blue light.

I had him focus in on it with the telescope. It didn’t take long before we found it, and it appeared to look like a ball of orange with a blue aura around the edges. Also, it seemed to change colors between orange and blue/green The image was probably less than half the size of what the moon looked on the same telescope, from the same spot. The oddest part of the object was that the insides of the ball seemed to have little dots and random patterns in them. When I first noticed, I was instantly reminded of biology videos you see in school, with the cells being looked at from under a microscope with the little dots inside the cells moving around. It was all very odd. We could see the ball seemed to change colors from orange to blue/green and combinations of orange/blue. Both me, and my friend were very confused and didn’t understand what it could be. We also noticed with our naked eyes that the light seemed to be moving a bit. We were pretty sure that it was not an eye trick, but the object seemed to move side to side.

After about 10-15 minutes of watching the object, it began to slowly disappear in a short span of about 10 seconds. As it continued to phase, it slowly became dimmer, and was gone. It might have been that the light got further away from us, or that it just stopped being visible. We did not know what the case was. This was at 11:06 PM.

At 11:14 PM, we saw another light with similar characteristics to the first one, however, it was much closer to the horizon, and must have been at a much farther distance, because the light was very small compared to the old one. The light appeared to have a more orange/red color and had much more slight back and forth wavy motions to it. Even under the telescope, the light was a spec compared to the other light. If I had to guess, I would say it was about 1/8th of the size of the other light that we had through the telescope just minutes before. We could not see any of the cell type characteristics on the telescope, because the light was just a tiny orange colored dot on it. We were not sure if this light had any correlation to the previous one, but we did not rule it out, because this one had appeared to us out of nowhere. At about 11:26, we noticed the light was getting dimmer, until after about 20 seconds we could not see the light anymore.

We might have dismissed these lights as something random, but after seeing the craters on the moon so clearly, then seeing the ball of light behaving so oddly and appearing so different, we knew it was not something wrong with our eyes or the telescope. Something was definitely different here, but what it was, we don’t know. Please feel free to contact me, I am very curious as to what this might have been.

Saw two stationary orange lights in the sky, high in the sky, and nearby each other.

My friend and I were driving on the freeway towards Sacramento, taking the bend off from hwy 113, when I looked over towards the right. In the sky I noticed 2 lights, that appeared to be stationary, and nearby each other. They must have been flying at airplane altitute or higher, but were both fairly close to each other to be deemed as airplanes. Also, there were no white or red lights on them, only a solid orange looking light.

By this time I was interested, so I kept looking, and asked my friend whom was driving if he was seeing this. He looked over and we began talking about what it could be. The lights seemed very stationary in the air, as we were driving, probobly at about 60-65 miles per hour. It was all very odd. I know the place that they were hovering over was farm land, because I've driven by there many times during the day time.

As we kept driving I was watching, and I could see what seemed like light on the ground directly underneath where the lights in the sky. The light almost looked like it was orange light that was reflecting in a body of water on the ground, but I know there is no water there.

When we got off the freeway on the Richards exit to go to a friends place, I told him to park at Safeway so we could take a look at the lights first. When we got out of the car, we saw a light flying by, but it was clearly an airplane. About 2 minutes later we saw another airplane flying by. We are unsure that these are the same lights, but we were positive that the first lights we saw were not moving, and were very close to each other, and were completely orange.

Object blurred by orange, yellow lights going northwest extremely fast over my rooftop in Davis, CA headed toward direction of Woodland

Appeared to be one object blurred by the red,orange,yellow and white lights that surrounded it. The light formation was not round. The formation looked like a small arc cut out of a section of a rainbow like a rectangular curve. It came over my house and headed northwest towards the fields between Woodland and Davis a few minutes before 10:00 at night. It was extremely fast. I immediately took a walk around the block to search the skys, but did not see anything else but stars. Observer is a Special Education Teacher.

Y or V shaped light formation seen moving from South to North over Davis, California.

My first thought was it looked like illuminated geese flying in a modified (possibly a tail first Y or V with something extra)formation. The lights were oval and held their position so they may have been lights on a structure but the structure itself was not visible, only the lights. They were not bright and were visible only while almost overhead. There was no sound associated with the movement and the movement was smooth. I started to count the lights when it was about 2/3 past me and counted 9 but the clarity was diminishing and there seemed to be more than that. It was moving from South to North.

Strange Crescent Light Phenomena: Davis, CA

It was an exceptionally clear night and I was sitting on my apartment balcony which faces south across the flat fields typical of davis. As I was playing my guitar, I noticed a large crescent shaped object move into view from the west. The object appeared to be quite distant and large when compared to the apartment building across the street. The crescent moved slowly and steadily to the east for a few minutes. Later, it quickly accelerated east out of sight.

It is difficult to say what it is that I saw other than that it was a dull glowing white light in the shape of a flattened crescent, almost like ground light reflected off a disk seen at an angle. I can not say whether or not what I saw was part of a larger object. There may very well be an explanation involving light phenomena or some other yet to be understood physical process. I chose to report this in hopes that soeone else may have witnessed this event around the same time. After all, it was a very large object low on the horizon extremely clear viewing conditions.

Observed bright object (mag. ~ 1) moving NE to SE. Assumed that it was a satellite until I noticed 2 blinking lights.

1-16-00 Went into back yard to bring in cat. Picked up cat and then looked up in sky. Said to cat, "Thanks Bon, I wouldn't have seen the bright satellite in the sky if it weren't for you."

It appeared to be at about the altitude of a satellite. Enjoyed watching it. It was very bright (1 mag.). Watched it move across sky and then noticed a small blinking light on right side front. As I watched it move slowly across the sky I then noticed another blinking (somewhat larger) light on rear left. I then thought it can't be a satellite, I continued watching and was not sure. The intensity of the brightness stayed the same as it crossed sky and then disappear behind tree.

I dismissed the thought that it might be an airplane because the whole object was illuminated and it did not appear to be the headlights of an airplane which are in front. I would have accepted it as a satellite if it were not for the blinking lights. Not sure if this is a UFO but thought I would report it anyway. I did not alert anyone else.

1995 Saucer/cone shaped UFO over I-80 West Causeway Betweeen Sacramento and Davis, CA

It was just after sunset on the Highway 80 West Causeway between Sacramento and Davis, CA. At the time, I was entering my senior year at U.C. Davis. I am now a practicing trial lawyer. I was returning home from a job training that had lasted all day. I had consumed no alcohol and I wasn't under the influence of any drug. I have never suffered from any delusion.

As I was driving on the causeway, in the middle lane, I noticed two red dots hovering over my windshield. At that point in time, I couldn't tell how high they were. I could only see them from my peripheral vision. I assumed I was being speed tracked by a police helicopter. So, I tapped on my brakes to slow down, as I was speeding. I could clearly see two red lights, one hovering directly over the other in a vertical position. At this point, I was sure I was being tracked by a helicopter. I couldn't see any shape, and my fear grew, because I was sure I was going to get a speeding ticket. The red lights hovered only about 50 feet over my front windshield.

To my amazement, the red lights came to hover directly in front of my car, and suddenly white lights lit up and illuminated the craft and the entire freeway. I was so shocked. I looked around to see if any other cars on the freeway could see what I saw. To my left, there was a red Jeep Cherokee with about 2-4 college girls. I could clearly see the woman with light brown, shoulder length hair looking over her steering wheel, eyes fixated on the craft.

At this point, the craft was still only about 50 feet over our cars. White track lights lit up one after another to create a moving effect along the outer circumference of the craft. The craft was shaped as if two low sloping cones were put together. So, from the top or bottom I imagine it looked circular. From the side view that I witnessed, it was diamond shaped. The craft was silver in color and had no other edges. The track lights would take about one second to travel along the edge of the craft; again, these side white lights were extremely bright, like flood lights. The craft remained lit for about 3 minutes.

All of a sudden the very bright track lights went out, and one could only see the two vertical red lights. The red lights then shot off westerly in the fastest acceleration I could ever imagine, leaving a solid red line in my vision. Seconds later, I could see the red lights darting hither and to over the hills around Fairfield and Vallejo. I could see this darting behavior for about 30 seconds to one minute.

The girls in the red jeep and I pulled off to the Mace Blvd exit in Davis, CA. We both got our of our cars, screaming and yelling, "Oh my God! Did you see what I saw?" We asked each other if we had cameras. Then, I got in my car and sped off to my apartment. I screamed for my roommate and a friend to grab a camera. I told them about the incident. Then we went out toward Vacaville on Highway 80 West.

I could no longer see the red dot over Fairfield. So I pulled off to an 7-11 store and asked if anyone else saw a UFO. I got some really wierd looks, and my friends thought I was a bit loony. When we were getting back into my car, we could hear loud sounds of jets. We looked up and there were numerous Air Force jets, fighter jets, cargo jets, etc., flying in two or three separate formations. They were flying low and we could all see well over 20 jets flying west in the direction of the UFO that I had seen.

It has been 13 years since I saw this event. I tried to forget about it, but it has to be the single most influential event that has occurred in my life. I live a pretty eventful life as a trial attorney, but this has never left my mind. I think of this event often. My memories of it are very clear. The event has caused me to question many fundamental things about my existence, my religion, and my government, questions that are yet unanswered.

bright light in the sky a real close encounter.

Me and my girlfriend were headed home from getting something to eat when i noticed some lightning and pulled down a little country road to watch the storm and eat. it was a empressive storm and the lightning seem to almost go with the music i noted to my girlfreind. After about 10 min. i saw a light on the horizon and jokingly said "look a ufo" not thingking much about it since we were close to the airport about 5 to 10 miles few min. later a red car that had also been watching the light show came speeding back past me to the main road afew moments later out the right side of my truck a bright blue light that seemed to rotate like a siren light and move horizontal back and forth fairly quick was right out side my window about 20 feet out and 20 feet up the light shut off quickly and the craft took off I started my truck and begin to chase it while i was shuting off and on my lights to get its attention when i came to the end of the road which had turned into gravel and stopped by some type of mad made pond about 1 mile. i could still see the light way on the the horizon again now but this time it was brighter than ever glowing white green blue and orange the light shut off and in a few seconds later at this time i have gotton out and am standing out front something flew over my head but this thing looked diferant it was dark and the object had know lighs on it so all i could see was a outline of it as it passed over making very little noise a would say about 100 feet above me after it passed a noticed afew lights blink in afew differand parts of the sky i felt like their were many around seeing that this all was real weird i Decided maybe i should say something so I say out loud "c'mon show your self i won't freek or nothing" right after that we both herd what sounded like a few children giggle mind you were 2 miles from anything and it about 9 o'clock at that point i got in the truck to ask my girlfreind (now wife) if she herd the laugh she said she had. at that point i decided i better stay in the truck and watch the last of the dying lightning. By the way this lightning was the most unusual i had ever seen a saw one that was a yellow ball that shot lighting 3 ways off of it after some research i found it was possible just unlikly. anyways we waited for the lightning to stop and right after the last blast and no more lights to see, the pond we were next to filled with the sound of sometype of birds that we had not herd the ten or so minutes we were near that pond well thats my story crazy as it sounds

this happened a while ago, a lot has happened in my life since then,but I could never forget this night,I dont know that what we saw that night was a u.f.o. ,I just know it was unexplainable.

I've always been the type of person that has to have solid proof to believe in things like u.f.o.'s, well i'll just tell you what happened.

I used to live in a apartment with my previous wife and our two children,I always worked graveyard,now for 27 years, I would always see this guy who lived in our complex coming home from fishing,I only knew him to say hi,or hows it going,but one day he came home with a 101 lb. sturgene fish that he caught behind the rice mills in west Sac. We then started talking about fishing,he asked me if I wanted to go to a place on my night off where him and his dad used to go and catch tons of cat fish. I agreeded to go , he told me it was on private land ,that it was an eragation sluogh a couple of miles into this land ,we would have to go at night, but not to worry,nobody is ever out there,he was right it was prestine, and soon as your line hit the water,you would get bites. We probably caught 25 to 30 cat fish, it was realy buitiful out there ,there was'nt a piece of trash to be seen anywhere,tall trees lined both sides of the slough.

About two weeks later, I was telling my friend and my sister in laws boyfriend about this fishing spot they both wanted to go, I told them about the land being private, and that we would have to go at night. We went about 12:00 am by 1:00 am we where there starting to fish, just like last time we started catching cats like crazy ,we where using an electric lantern to see, it was mildly bright, while we were sitting there all of a sudden down the slough ,on the bank, about maybe 150 yards or more away, a bright light came on, it looked to be like one of those bright coleman gas lanterns, but we could'nt see or here any people, we where instantly scared being on private land where my nieghbor told me he and his father never saw a soul out there, we quikly turned off our light and watched. Nothing was happening ,the light just stayed on, we waited a while and then thought it might be someone fishing like us, we thought we would try to be quiet and keep fishing with our light! off,we did. We fished for about an hour or 2, when my friend said he wanted to go lay down in the back of my nova, that he did'nt care if we kept fishing,we did, though we kept looking down the slough at the light, we got so used to it being there we kinda stopped thinking about it, when all of a sudden the light got intencely bright, it scared the hell out of us ,when I say it got bright I mean like stadium lighting, we jumped up asking each other what the hell where we looking at?, before we could wake up my friend the light got giant ,it loominated all the trees and water,and I swear to you this light rose off the ground, it was so bright we could'nt see any mass on it,just light. I then opened my car door and shaking my friend to wake up, by this time the light was at the top of the trees, My friend said what is it ,I told him it was the light that was on the bank, he then asked me if it was a u.f.o., it made no sound at all, I told him I have no idea what it is,we the! n stared throwing our gear in the car, and we jumped in,we did! 'nt know what to do, we had to drive towards it to leave, as we started near it ,it backed up, as we got closer it then moved quikly across the top of the trees,we could see it loominating the trees as it took off, it almost seemed to know we where watching.Im getting goose bumps remembering this night. I have been through many things in my life since then, I remaried to a wonderful wife,but we suffered some great tradgedy in our life ,like the suicide death of my youngest son, the passing of my father who died fairly young,I dont usualy tell this story, because it sounds crazy, but I swear its true, I dont know what we saw, maybe you do. Many years had past and I lost contact with the 2 guys I was with that night, but one day my wife and I ,and my sister and her boyfriend went to the asparagus festival in Stockton Ca.,and while we where there amongst thousands of people I hear someone call my name ,it was my friend who was in the car asleep,he said hey ,hows it going ?,its been a ! long time, how about that thing we saw that night? I laughed,I thought it was funny ,that was the first thing he brought up .I was realy glad to see him and talk about it. Just for the record, when we drove over towards where it was there was no farm equipment no building no lighting of any kind,just acres and acres of corn field, we truely saw something that night ,and I think it was something we were'nt supposed to see, I dont know if this story is helpful to you ,I just wanted to tell it,and its 100% true.

Massive, Cylindrical Shape over UC Davis

I saw a massive, cylindrical shape in the sky, about the year 1992, or maybe 1994 (?), can’t remember the year, but it was hovering over Hwy 80 where UC Davis University is. It was pouring rain, a lot of clouds, but this thing was so huge, you couldn’t miss it. Lights in the clouds all around it, or maybe when the lightning struck, you could see the shape of it in the clouds, like a black, horizontal Pringles can in the clouds.

I was driving and it was too dangerous to stop, but I got a few looks at it as I drove. I never reported it, or thought anyone would believe me, since most sightings are disk shaped, but I saw the trailer for Unacknowledged the other day, and I saw a picture of what I saw! I am reporting it in case someone else has reported the same sighting over Davis, CA.

Speedy Black Triangle over Central California in the middle of the day.

I was traveling west on I-80 near Davis with my mother mid-day. We both saw a black triangular shaped aircraft to the south of us by several miles. I think we had a side view of it because it absolutely had a front end that came to a definitive point and more mass toward the rear where it was thicker. It was hard to gauge it's size at that distance.

The object began its path below where we could see because of a berm built up on the side of the highway so we couldn't tell if it started on the ground or not. It shot up in a perfectly straight line at about a 45 degree angle from behind the berm. It moved at incredible speed until it got up a couple thousand feet and then just stopped dead in place below some low level clouds. It rotated in place so the front end was pointing straight up, and then shot up through the clouds at the same incredible velocity.

I'm very knowledgeable about military aircraft, and this was not only moving with "linear" speed (unlike aircraft with throttle) that far exceed conventional aircraft, it stopped in place so abruptly that any pilot would have been killed.

My hubby and I were sitting on steps of a cabin at Turner Falls in Davis OK around midnight to 2 a.m. We were so amazed at all the stars in the sky that we can't see because we live in Dallas, because of all the city lights.

We just happened to see way way way out in space a single light object doing figure eights, high speed accelerations in all directions all over the place. It kept doing this for about 5 minutes or so. Then eventually the light object kept going further out in space until you couldn't see it anymore. It was like teenager alien was joy-riding in his alien dads space craft. Very cool.

Characteristics: Possible abduction, Missing Time, Marks found on body afterwards

Abductions starting at age 3 or 4. Reocurring distortions of time/space

This was not a craft sighting, it was an abduction.

I saw 4 of them and "spoke" with one of them. They were returning me to my bed and I woke up too soon. I knew that I wasn't supposed to do that and got scared. The one that I "talked" to comforted me and told me to remain calm with my eyes closed.. but I just HAD to open my eyes and look. I was floating towards my bed, being returned to my bed. There was 4 of them, 1 by the door and 3 around my bed.

There's so so much more to tell...

It's happened 3 times (each very different)that I can vividly remember. I am now 58 years old and feel the need to tell my story but I don't know where to tell it.

Is this the place?
