5 of us (4 Adults, one (1) 7 year old. Flew over at about 300-750 ft altitude

Firstly, this is fresh. This literally just happened 1 hour ago.

4 adults and one 7 year old child saw the following.

My wife, daughter and I were dropping off her friend at her house in the country by Dixon, CA. We arrived at approximately 6:45PM on 11/10/2023. It was dark and the sky was mostly clear with some scattered clouds. They live in the country and there is very little light pollution. My daughters friend ran in the house as soon as we arrived. However, we stay on the porch talking we her parents for 10 minutes or so like we always do. Suddenly, we heard the oscillating rumble of an aircraft coming from the northeast (more east than north). I immediately noticed the rumble was deep but I assumed it was just a low flying life flight helicopter coming to land at its home at the Nut Tree Airport which was just a few miles away. However, as it got closer the house literally began to shake (Windows, glasses on their laundry room table tops, etc.) Still thinking that it was a helicopter I instinctively looked up as it began to fly over.

At first I couldn't make out what I was seeing. It happened all at once and it was a wave of visual mathematics that my mind was working to solve.

The is the exact sequence of events as I observed it. It may seem haphazard and arrhythmic but this is the exact sequence in which I saw the aircraft. So imagine you are looking through your own eyes when you read this.

1) Whatever it was was flying slow. 75 MPH or less.
2) I saw a really dim pair of lights. At first, I thought they were they were part of a helicopter, then my brain quickly realized they were on the rear of some sort of aircraft.
3) I saw a laser dot about 200 yards immediately to the left of the pair of lights referenced in part "2". The laser dot was red or orange, extremely dim and literally looked like someone from the ground was shinning a laser pointer at something in the sky. At this point I literally thought that is exactly what someone was doing.
4) Suddenly, as my eyes were focused on the faint laser dot, a cloud immerged in the background of the dot way off in the distance. It picked up just enough light pollution from the nearby city of Vacaville that it momentarily revealed that the laser point I was staring at was on the front end of the nose of an air craft. The cloud was illuminated just enough to backlight the nose of the air craft. The air craft moved forward and as quickly as the outline appeared on the cloud it was gone.
5) Immediately my thought was that "Oh, there IS as a second aircraft leading the one following to the right.
6) When the nose cone moved past the cloud and back into darkness my peripheral vision suddenly became heightened and out of the corner of my eye I saw a laser beam that was as feint as the dot on the nose. However, the laser beam stretched from the point where I saw it all the way back to the pair of dim lights 200 yards to the right. It looked like someone was shining a cheap laser pointer from a helicopter, straight forward in its path.
7) A patch of scattered clouds back light approximately 60-70% of the body of the aircraft and I suddenly realized the entire thing was connected. The outline was only visible for a few seconds. It looked like a combination of surf board and He-Man's sword and at least 150-200 yards long. That's literally the best way I can describe it.

We all started freaking out when the outline revealed itself. My wife and I immediately said "Don't discuss it! We need to draw what we see independently and then show each other. It's the only way we will know we aren't lying to ourselves. If we are wrong and all see different things then we know it was nothing".

Attached are the pics we each made of the object.

I saw a very large "V" shaped craft moving north at twilight for several seconds while stargazing in my backyard. It seemed low in the sky and was approximately 50-100 yards or more in length. It was dark grey, metalic looking, and moving slowly approximately 1/2 mile -1 mile up. There were no lights. After viewing it for several seconds it vanished. It was there and then it just wasn't. It made no noise and left no exhaust or contrail.

Unmanned object just above the trees moving steadily, smoothly, silently with a shape that appears different from various angles.

The object was small and dark just above the trees. Unmanned. No lights. Moving from South to North. It moved very smoothly, steadily and silently, unlike a drone, more like how a balloon would float along. It might have been turning as it moved because the shape appears different from different angles.

I was fishing on the Rock River and noticed these weird lights that made no sound but we're extremely close and kept doing the same rotation fading in and out and blanking it also had all of my hair standing on end the entire time might all sound weird but I know this was not any kind of airplane or helicopter as it was completely silent but extremely close. I also was able to get my cell phone video running and have footage of the last 3 to 4 minutes I just don't know who to show the video to and definitely not posting on video on YouTube I have the video on my cell phone and I'm sure there's technology to prove that I have no way altered it I definitely don't know how to alter edit but I'm sure you have technology to confirm it's a real video

Small orb of bright light. Moving very fast and seemed to disappear into thin air.

Around 6:50pm : ball of bright light flying what appeared to be downward before disappearing completely right before it looked as if it was going to hit the ground. Wasn’t too far away from us and we didn’t hear any sound of crashing or engine noise. Everything seemed to be silent during and after sighting. We were driving through backroads surrendered by flat corn field land and didn’t see any type of crash. The orb seemed to disappear in thin air. It was a very bright light and seemed to be artificial light and led like. I would say the size of a basketball (maybe a tiny bit bigger). Hard to estimate though because of the speed it was flying at. We almost thought it was a shooting star falling from the sky (because we could see stars that night) but it was much bigger and much brighter. The light was not blinking and was moving in a straight line. It didn’t seem to have any glow to it and it didn’t leave any type of trail of light. It was a solid ball of w! hite light. We didn’t notice it until it came in view from the front windshield. We didn’t notice anything from the rear view or the side windows. This was not a cloudy night as the moon and all stars were visible. It was moving very fast... the actual sighting only happened in about a 3 second time frame. And the technological difficulties for about another 1 - 1 & 1/2 minutes. Although It did feel longer (more like a 10 minute time pass). Right before the sighting the bluetooth in my car cut out and my phone disconnected. It took a couple miles before we were able to reconnect and get the music to play again. That’s never happened before. We take these back roads to Dixon a lot and have never dealt with the bluetooth not working. Our phones also began to not work. We both had no signal for a couple miles before it kicked back in. My friend (the other witnesses) was unable to even unlock her phone. It seemed to have just froze. I was able to unlock my phone but had trouble! using voice text. It was severely misunderstanding what I was! saying.

I called my sister after the sighting and she said whenever I was about to explain something the sound would cut off but she could hear me fine with everything else I said. Only when I started to explain what we had saw. I did not feel sick before, during or after the sighting and neither did my friend who was in the car with me. We both did not feel dizzy or any type of tingling. My friend, an alien skeptic, has no explanation for what we saw. Me, a huge alien believer, knows what we saw. It appeared to have technological advances that just are not known to us. It was a “man made” light flying at unbelievable speeds before disappearing right in front of our eyes. And the unexpected technological difficulties made the sighting even more real to us.

This is 2nd sighting of same craft traveling the same path in 1 week. It moved over us like an airplane but the lights were flashing out of sequence compared the normal plane we see from Travis etc. Very brite red and green flashes with intermittent spot light flash pointed downward. It traveled off into the horizon much like the speed of a low aircraft ( no moise) for about 2 or 3 minutes then from quite a distance it shot back to basicly rite over us in about 2 seconds warp speed it appeared.it turned brite red at hi speed. This was real upclose and obvious. All lights went out and I saw it was a grey triangle. No doubt.

My husband,2 kids, and I were in the pool around 8pm on Sunday the 1st when we noticed what initially looked like a smaller plane, a silver cigar shape, which is common we have a very small airport, but after it had passed, at some point with a minute or 2 my husband notices that is flying by again in a straight line, not taking off from the airport because it would be at an angle if it was. It was traveling fairly slow and then would disappear. At this point we all are watching. When in would go out of sight to the East it wouldreappear in the West. This is when we realized it was 2 flying almost on a loop and appeared to be surveying. This lasted about 10 minutes maybe longer. Then they both were flying together, one higher and one lower, almost side by side until they disappeared on the final loop.

10 balls of light descending at a 45 degree downward direction to the horizon line

Looking East/Southeast clearly seen from some distance away a line of 10 or so balls of light that descended at a 45 degree angle to the horizon line, each was equal distance from the other. Almost like they were fired from a stationary object since they were perfectly aligned and did not vary in their trajectory downward. Strangest thing I have ever seen. From that distance and location, I am presuming they were tests from the China Lake Naval Weapons Testing area some 200 miles away from my location and located in the same direction, but that is only a hunch

Shape: Fireball


Orange fire-ball like light, moving slowly, seen in early am, absolutely dead silent, hovering.

On the morning of Nov. 20, 2017, I woke up at about 2:15 am to let my cat out. I looked up and through the neighbor’s trees I saw what I thought was the moon only orange-ish...like it was smoked covered. I was facing east. I then noticed this was not the moon but an orange light. It looked like an orange ball of fire. This ‘light’ started to move slowly, like at small plane speed, going north. It stayed on a fairly horizontal course, just quite slow. I kept listening for the sound of an airplane engine but it was dead silent. I followed the light (still at my back door) until it went out of my range of sight and behind more trees on our street, so I ran to the front of my house and looked out the front window – now facing north. The light appeared to be going even slower now – I could see it through the tree tops for about a minute, then it came into plain sight. It appeared to just hover, then move slowly, then hover...I couldn’t tell if it was the ! atmosphere that made it look like it was moving oddly, or if it actually was moving oddly. A few times it looked like it was getting larger, like an object on fire gets larger. I was expecting it to fall to the ground and crash, but it just slowly moved, hovering oddly. The light then seemed to move upward in elevation, like it was moving north, and slowed a few times in its ascent. It became smaller and a few times disappeared, showed again, and then finally faded out. The oddest thing was there was absolutely no sound. This all lasted about 7 minutes. I went back to bed and a few minutes later I did hear a small plane fly overhead – this made the absence of sound with this ‘light’ all the more obvious. I was going to ask a friend who was in the Air Force if he knew of drones or something that would explain this, but I haven’t had the chance yet.

I was riding the backroads on the back of my boyfriend's motorcycle. I saw two bright white lights in the sky just hovering. On occasion, they would turn orange or red. We were riding on a motorcycle so I could not get a photo.

I kept watching as we approached them, looking for a tower of some sort that they would be attached to. I assumed they were farming lights of some sort, but I kept my eyes on them for five minutes straight at one point. As soon as we got close enough, almost right under them, and I realized they were not farm lights and that they were not attached to any type of tower.. They disappeared.

white and red horizontal lights hovering in sky.

Took our dogs out like we do every night. Happened to look in the sky and saw what appeared to be three white lights, horizontal, then changed to red lights. Disappeared for approximately 30 seconds and then reappeared, with the white lights then changing to red lights. Then faded away. Seemed to be just hovering.

Bright Light boomerang/stealth/triangular object.

I saw a bright light through the trees while sitting on the back porch of our home at roughly 0500 this morning (07/16/14). It was as bright as the moon. At first, I had assumed it was the moon, although it would have been in an unusual position/location. It disappeared due to the leaves blocking my view.

Then I saw it again in a clearing of leaves. Again, it disappeared. I stood up and watched it above the tree lines. I wanted to see the shape before I woke my husband. Already I was thinking “this is a UFO” due to its apparent shape and size and brightness. When I saw the shape, I knew.

So ran in the house and woke my husband. I told him he had to get up, because he would never believe me. He did, and we watched it fly over the house together.

I ran into the front yard to continue watching it. I was a little frightened and hid under some trees in case it was watching me. I cannot tell you its size, maybe 1/6 size of the moon and later the size of a large star. It was solid white, almost blinding light. It was either a chevron shape or boomerang shape, similar to a stealth shape, but not a complete triangle.

It did not change directions, but instead flew in almost a straight line untl it blinked out. It was too bright for my husband to make out the shape of it, but I could see the shape as it flew directly over my head prior to waking him. We were able to watch it together for at least 30 seconds before it disappeared from our sight.

I am a military vet and my husband is an executive on an Army base.

This was definitely an aircraft with no blinking lights, nor colors. It seemed to be an illuminated craft, as opposed to a craft with outside lights. It was blazing bright.

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded quite serious-minded to us. We suspect both witnesses are reliable and capable. PD

Circular grouping of white dots in the daytime sky didnt move but would slowly disapear

Driving East on Hwy 20 at around 1pm I noticed up in the almost cloudless sky a circular group of white dots with two others off to the left. I was driving in a caravan of work trucks and was not able to stop but we could see them very clearly as we drove. I saw the white dots which seemed to be at least a mile up in the sky. They did not move while we drove and as we viewed them they would disapear in a very strange maner and then return like they would all rotate on and off. We could see planes with contrails in the sky, local airplanes and birds and what we saw was nothing like anything I have ever seen in the day time We saw the white dots till we lost them in the trees aproximatly two minutes. What we saw was pretty cool and unexplained.

bright yellow/red fire like long object moving at slowly across the sky in a straight line

The object came from the east sky; moving west. It moved hoizonal making no noise; we estimated it to be around 10 miles up, looked rectanglular in shape with both ends having a round hatch like opening, it was like you could see right through the object, translucent, and it was 3 dimensional, you could see it had a front and bottom and 4 sides. The front of it looked like fire shooting out of it; and running down the sides of it. The entire object was glowing a yellow/reddish hue, very bright. At first we thought it was an air balloon on fire but it kept a straight course, slowed down and seemed to then speed up and take off to the west. Almost as if it was looking at us, there were four of us outside; one seeing it first and pointing it out to the others.

Hovering, yellowship light dissapears into early morning sky.

Woke up about 5:30 AM to do an early morning paper route. As I went to my car, I noticed a stationary light around the tree line off in the distance. This light stayed stationary for about five minutes. The light then began to move in my direction. There was no noise. No blinking lights...just a constant yellowish, light.

The light moved higher into the sky until it became almost unnoticeable to my eyes. About 5-10 minutes after the light drifted off, a jet was headed in the direction it was last seen, as if it was investigating.

Not sure what it was, but that is why I am writing this down.

UFO photo Dixon, Illinois August 14, 2011

Here are my comments regarding the UFO sighting I had on the clear, calm summer evening of August 14th, 2011 at 8:31 p.m. in Dixon, IL. I have included three photos of the object, one the original uploaded size of the entire photo and two pics that have been cropped to show the UFO and the silo/trees in relation with one another. Thank you.

The photo was taken looking towards the northeast. I'm guessing it was between 30 and 45 degrees(??) off of the horizon. It moved in a straight fly pattern, no wavering, with no engine noise and no blinking lights that I could see. It simply looked like a gray/metallic Frisbee. I was standing outside my front door admiring the beautiful rising moon when I noticed this object moving slowly in a descending pattern from the northeast. I ran inside and quickly grabbed my camera and had time to take just this one phot before the object disappeared behind the silo/tree area of the photograph. That's about all there is to my sighting. Thank you.

From my Facebook entries: "I snapped a picture of a UFO last night at around 8:31 p.m. at my residence in the countryside in Dixon, IL. I saw what looked like a gray/silver colored frisbee slowly moving in a decending pattern towards the silo/tree area at the mid-lower left side of the photo. I initially went outside of my front door to look at the cool moon rising and noticed this object moving slowly. It had taken me a few seconds to register what it was I was looking at and then I ran inside, got my camera and quickly snapped this photo. I am amazed and excitied that the picture turned out as clear as it did as I was in a hurry to get a pic before it disappeared behind the silo/tree area of the photo. The object is the gray "line" to the upper right of the silo and directly above the trees in the picture. I am wondering did anyone else see this object last night? Use your Zoom features to blow up the photo. I zoomed to about 200% and it started to become pixilated. A cool photo nevertheless..:)

"I watched it disappear behind the silo/trees area in the picture. It definitely moved as one solid object...no vapor trail or meteor streak, etc."

"Hello everybody! I understand the photo doesn't quite show exactly what I saw the other night, but it's important for me to note that the object moved in a descending pattern as one object...it looked like a slow moving frisbee..lol.. If you... can enlarge to 400% or as high as you can go without the pic becoming too pixilated, you might see it's a solid object, not a vapor trail or jet stream trail, and I have had people tell me it looks like there are sources of light on the object when they enlarged the pic."

Object entering atmosphere, moving lights.

I was looking out the commuter bus window (east bound) as it was approaching my exit.

Traveling parallel to the bus on my left was what looked like a bright light with a tail, more like a comet. After a few seconds the objects tall start changing, getting shorter, like a rocket that is losing a stage. I thought maybe it was a meteor entering the atmosphere. The object now lost it's tail and now looked like a star, still traveling east at about the same speed.

As the bus made it's exit off the freeway and veered right, I lost sight of it. The bus came to a stop sign, turned left toward town. I looked out the window and now saw a different object.

In the same area in the sky but much closer was a oval group of lights on what must have been a flying object, moving to the left, then right, rather fast, then up and then back again. This didn't last long, the bus continued into town and turned toward my stop. The view was hidden now by buildings and trees. As I got off the bus, I looked for the object but it was gone.

No one else seemed to notice anything but me. Sometimes I see lights or images in the bus window due to reflection but this was not the case. I'm not sure both objects were of the same source, but this happened within minutes of each other. Also, it was just about sunset and the sky was starting to get dark.

Black "Boomerang" shaped aircraft hovering over field outside Dixon, IL on August 15, 2010

I could not identify this aircraft. I have no doubt that someone at any time could tell me matter of fact that "this is a ____", however I've never seen one, and it caught my attention because it was hovering in the air above a field close to Dixon, IL.

I was on my way home from Iowa and was on I88 heading east to go back to our west suburban home, when my daughter and I both spotted the black boomerang (kind of) shaped aircraft hovering over a field (at least it appeared to be over a field because it was off in the distance a ways). It was north of the highway, and I wanted to stop but was traveling too fast. I told my daughter "quick!! grab my camera!" She handed it to me and I snapped three photos before it was out of range. (2 of them are rather blurry, as I was in a moving vehicle) The one thing that was so strange to me is that when I first noticed it, it looked like a flat pencil shape in the sky, but did not appear to be moving forward or backward or up or down. By the time I took the photos I was closer to it and it appears to have a boomerang-like shape, and a "bubble" type cockpit.

There was one other vehicle that had managed to pull over (I assume for the same reason?) but they were on the other side of the road heading westbound.

Occurred: 2009-01-24 01:15 Local
Reported: 2009-01-24 00:22 Pacific
Duration: 5 min.
No of observers: 4

Location: Dixon, MO, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Landed

bright object lands near forest

We was driving south back towards Dixon in Maries County checking road conditions due to ongoing light snowfall and I witnessed a bright light moving from North to South that looked like a helicopter when i first witnessed it. It then hovered for about 5 seconds then went straight down towards the ground out of my sight.

We proceeded on up the road to a hill top at which time we stopped the vehicle and got out and looked and from there you could see an object on the ground that had alot of bright light around it with a reddish light or glow on the top.

This object was out in a field somewhat near the forest line. From the distance we was from the object it was hard to get a good lookat the object other than to see there was a good deal of light around the object.

We was too far away to determine if there was anyone around the object but there was no noise to be heard from the location we stopped in.

At that time we proceeded to continue our drive back into Dixon but the event occured over a period of about 4 minutes from the time i first spotted the object until the time we drove off.




NUFORC Note:

Case has been forwarded to an experienced investigator for follow-up investigation. PD

i saw lights in a field that lit up the area and a barn

I was driving southbound on Maries county road heading back to Dixon when my boss said something like 'look do you see that'. All that i saw was lights in a field thats it.

The whole area was lit up and there was a barn in the area to the south of where the light was at and there was light visible all over the area and on the barn.

That is all that i saw was lights in the field and in the area. I have no clue what it was.

I was looking at a friends house and tilted the view up (north) and noticed what appears to be a classic shape of a "space ship".

This is on Google Maps and so this is either a anomaly or a chance capture of something.

Go to Google Maps and enter XXX Dunlap Court in Dixon California and tilt the view towards the sky and you will see what I am talking about.

If this is a hoax, please be aware that I had nothing to do with it. I am just passing on an observation.

We suspect that it is not a genuine UFO. PD

Strange cyclical white noise heard, pulsed one second on, 2 off then faded.

01/15/08 1158AM CST. (Northwestern Illinois) Bizarre Noise.

Just before noon local time, a strange noise was heard outside my home. It sounded like pulsed white noise. It was cyclical; there for one second followed by 2 seconds of non-noise, then repeated. It faded in quickly and dissipated slowly over about 30 seconds. Whatever it was sounded as though it passed quite close to the house. There were no reverberations observed but they may have been masked by sound inside the house. Also curiously, no Doppler shift was heard, although the sound seemed to muffle as it faded out.

I have never heard a sound like this outside of a recording studio before.

Only thing I could think of was it sounded like a jet engine low on fuel and cutting out and in, but there were no normal airplane noises associated with it. No street traffic observed either at the time.

orange disc

I woke up in the night and went to the kitchen for a drink of water.

I happend to look out the window and saw a orange color disc over the pine trees to our west. It was about the size of a silver dollar held at arm's length away. Could not tell how far away it was. The color looked orange like the sun when it rising or setting on the horizon but was not as bright.

I woke up my husband and he obsereved the same.

The object after just being still for some time then shot straight up and was gone.

It did not leave any visible trail and we did not see it again. Also the sky was clear and the stars were very bright as they always are in this rural area.

saw what we thought was a helicopter in trouble. disk was approx 35feet above ground and sitting motionless making no noise approx 40 feet in front of us

On the way to work, traveling west, just on the outskirts of town next to a small airport, we saw what appeared to be a helicopter in trouble. The craft had blue and red lights, and came from the sky, settling over the highway, very close to the ground. It sat for a second then slowly moved south, moving into the yard of a small home that sits right at the end of the airport, and next to the highway. There was a thunderstorm beginning and there was alot of high lightening. Our community was also having their July 4th fireworks display. As i approached the spot where the craft had entered the yard, i stopped my vehicle right in the highway, opened my door and stood outside looking at the craft sitting just above an electrical or telephone wire that was going into the home from a pole next to the highway. My passenger stayed in the car and watched from the passenger side. The craft sat motionless above the wire. It was round and metallic gray in color (dark grey)with a smokey glass dome shape in the center bottom of the craft. It was no bigger than a large car in diameter, and it was not as thick as a car would be. It didnt look big enough for a human to sit in upright. The lights of the craft were pulsing from the edges of the craft, and appeared to be coming from inside. They did not look like they were like our lights would be like on a car. They were pulsing and growing dimmer. I was approx. 40 feet away from the object, and we watched it until the lights dimmed out completely. When they were completely out, if you didnt know it was there, it would have been extremely hard to see. My passenger began to scream and stomp her feet on the floor of the car, and I felt like i was coming out of a trance or something. I jumped in the car, had much difficulty getting it into gear, (it was still running) and left as fast as i could. We did not talk at all for most of the drive to work, (25 miles) and when we did, we were trying to explain it, trying to convince each other that it could be something from this earth. We both had been in a state of shock. Bye the time on my car clock, I knew we had watched the craft for approx 10 mins. My passenger and I both worked as machine operators for a major manufacturer in Rochelle Ill. 2 years later, I became a Training Coordinator for the plant, teaching trainers how to train properly, creating training manuals and training materials, and also taking care of any issues or problems that may come up during a training period. My passenger worked for approx 1 more year, then moved out of area.
