Two lights were flying in the sky by the craft or ship they were attached to was invisible

Me and a friend of mine both saw two lights flashing in the sky. Blue and red but it was a little too far away to see the type of object they were. We assumed a drone because the object couldn’t really be seen; just the lights. The lights were flying towards our direction so we waited until they got directly in front of my apartment so we could see what unique plane or helicopter it would be…. Well there was no plane, or craft, or ship. Just the lights attached to some sort of invisible flying aircraft… It headed north and flew over our apartment and out of our sight.

Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: South El Monte, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby, Electrical or magnetic effects

EL MONTE, CA. One bright "ball" like object falls, comes to stop, and redirects itself heading Northeast, till out of view.

This evening, at approximately 19:50, I witnessed what initially looked to me as a "shooting star", quickly transform itself into a fully capable and manuevering aircraft. From where I was standing, I had a full view of the northern sky with the moon also in view (waxing crescent tonight). While conversing with an associate over the phone, this ball of a light quickly took my attention. Assuming it was going to burn out somewhere within the stratosphere or troposphere (as I've observed in my lifetime amongst "shooting stars" or meteors) I continued my conversation. Then, what I witnessed next blew my mind. The ball of light came to a grinding halt and I was able to actually hear this flying object. It sounded like a loud, "screeching", static electric-like sound. So powerful, I was able to feel the vibrations under me. Hard to explain.

After coming to an almost complete stop, I watched it turn and head Northeast.

I hung up the phone, and called my wife outside so she could see this object. I followed this object with my eyes from the second it's light was identifiable to my periphals. When she came outside, we both marveled over this ball of a light, and watched it as it continued to travel northeast. This object maintained its physical appearance as an orange "ball" of a light the whole way through. It was very distinctive in a way, that it was very bright and orange. Easily able to differentiate itself from any sort of commercial aircraft. Serving in the Marine Corps for four years, I can say it was of no military aircraft I have seen before either. This object stopped almost midair. We watched until the light faded into nothing, as it continued its travels northeast I would say HUNDREDS of miles. All within two minutes. Anyone in the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles Valley, ..........anyone,anywhere, who happened to look up and witness what they "think" to have been something strange flying through the sky, I can assure you, was nothing ordinary or of our "technology".

I have (2) side notes to add: Less than 3 minutes after the object dissapeared, a loud helicopter was overhead, and in my area. The only thing I could see were the lights from the undercarriage and skids. It made a circle and dissapeared. This may have been pure coincidence. The second thing I wanted add was regarding the noise I heard. The loud vibrational type noise. I've heard this before and actually regularly for the past two years. The weird thing is when I have heard it, the noise's "vibrational frequency" has been much louder and sometimes in intervals. It leads me to believe the area I live in or possibly the mountain ranges (San Gabriel Mountains or San Bernadino Mountains) nearby are being utilized as a some sort of entry point? I will continue to record my "encounters" as I feel there is a correlation between these anomalies.

White flashes when a satellite passed above the horizon.

A friend and I were observing a passing satellite (dim light object) passing from South to North. We assume they are satellites because many travel throughout the night.

When the object passed directly above us, 2 flashes of lights appeared, flashes were 1/2 second apart from each other. Flashes did not move, they were in the same area. The size of a school bus, squared, white light.

Unexplainable experience, never seen before. We both stayed for another hour trying to see if the flashes appeared, but unfortunately they did not. We have observed many satellite objects in years but never seen flashes.

An object that looked like Mars bright red and orange sides.

At around 21:49 on Sunday August 7th, 2014, we were coming from the market and taking the groceries into the house. I looked up into the sky and told my girlfriend "look babe Mars." The object looked like a star, but since it was red I believed it was Mars. Then it started glowing orange also, which was odd.

Then my girlfriends mother also started looking at it and said it might be a helicopter but it was way too high to be one. And planes do not shine that bright at that altitude.

Then it started moving slowly towards the west. It looked like it was turning and just like that it disappeared. No plane that I know of or helicopter can disappear that quick, or turn at that radius as quick as that object did.

Star/Light object with circular counter and clockwise movements.

Upon gazing at the stars before sunrise towards the NE sky over the San Gabriel Mountains, noticed a star shaped object moving slowly in circular movememts heading East and changed course towards the North. This light/star shaped object blended with the stars, it would stop and hoover in place in circular counter and clockwise movements.

The Night sky was clear and quiet with no sign of planes. This star/light object flew North until it was not visible and within 3 to 4 minutes appeared again slightly above us as we all watched the night sky North towards San Gabriel Mountains.

The star/Light moved east stopped for 20 seconds while hoovering, then moved east again slowly, then changed its course heading towards the North above the San Gabriel Mountains. Later in the afternoon around around 3pm and 4pm noticed 4 planes flying higher than normal commercial planes leaving Chemtrails.

Shape: Teardrop


Gray oval teardrop shaped craft flying over LA County.

I was riding on the Metrolink from San Bernardino to the Cal State LA station, seated on the side of the train looking south. Listening to music and watching the scenery pass by I looked up to the sky at about a 35 to 45 degree angle and saw what at first I took to be a airliner that was traveling east to west.

I quickly realized that the shape was not right and that it was not a more whitish color. It had more of a gray metallic look, and there seemed to be no wings.

This happened rather fast and when I wanted to try to study it more the train passed a few buildings that blocked my view, and when the train passed the buildings, it was gone.

FIREBALL IN CLEAR SKY

I WAS OUTSIDE WORKING OUT AND SAW A FIREBALL TRAVELED OVERHEAD AT FAST BUT VISIBLE SPEED. THE SKY WAS CLEAR WITH STARS VISIBLE. THE FIREBALL WAS WHITE COLOR ENGULFED IN ORANGE / REDDISH FIRE STREAKS. IT TRAVELED FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND WAS RATHER LOW TO BE VISIBLE BUT SILENT. PROBABLY TRAVELED ONE MILE PER SECOND. I GOT UP TO SEE WHERE IT WAS GOING TO THINKING IT WOULD FALL SOMEWHERE AND CRASH WITH A BOOM BUT DISAPPEARED TO THE HORIZON WITH NO SOUND. PRIVATE SMALL AIRPLANES FROM THE AIRPORT NEARBY WERE PASSING BY AND I WONDERED IF THEY HAD SEEN SOMETHIING. I WONDERED IF IT WAS A BURNING OBJECT SUCH AS A SATELLITE OR SOMETHING THAT WAS CRASHING. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE SAW THIS AND HAVE AN EXPLANATION. THANK YOU.

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

5 circular disk-like objects; one with a blue disk-like object affixed to it moving back and forth half way around it continuously.

It was a warm suuny day and the sky was clear. Two friends and I just got back to my friend ((name deleted)) house in South El Monte from snowboarding at Mt. Baldy and we were relaxing in the jaccuzzi ...I just happened to look upwards into the sky and I seen two objects very high up in the sky. From what I can see with my bare eyes they were white specks in the sky. I thought perhaps they were balloons that someone let go but after a minute of observing them they were at the same spot. I told the guys but they couldn't see them until I pointed them out to them. The guys said they were stars but I told them that I know that stars are only visible at night and even at dawm or dusk (it was braod daylight!). Next, I jumped out of the jaccuzzi and ran inside the house to grab my binoculars and when I came back outside I looked through the binoculars and I saw 3 more high in the sky! I told them, "Hey! There's more!" and they didn't even want to talk about it anymore. However, my friend ((name deleted--witness #1)) got his binoculars and gave them to me because they had a better optical lens. When I looked up in the sky using his binoculars, I was able to distinguish that they were in fact circular disk-like form and white in colour and they moved slighty and when they moved they left a tiny trail which disappeared very quickly but I was not able to see the tiny trail without the binoculars; only one out of the 4 had what appeared to be a blue circular disk-like object sort of affixed to it moving half way around it back and forth. Furthermore, the other 4 moved slightly away from the one with the blue. Right away, I thought about God's Word and what Ezekiel described what he saw when God revealed himself to him and his description of highly polished bronze "flying wheels" with eyes (portholes) roundabout (all around). After about 5 minutes they were right above our location and the other 4 without the "blue" primarily stayed together while the one with the "blue" was at a distance from them. They were just hovering above us but they were way up there. About 5 minutes later they headed eastward and I lost sight of them.

The driver saw a glimmering object in the sky moving slowy that appeared like a shimmering star, however this was still daytime. The driver then proceeded to inform the passenger. By the time the passenger glanced up, the glimmer was gone, and instead saw an oval shaped dull object frozen in the sky. The car both people were in then passed under a bridge and by the time the car emerged from the bridge, the object was gone.

It was a V-shaped UFO flying perfectly straight across the night sky at a very fast speed and it was a glowing baby blue.

My friend and I were walking to a store one night and we had decided to walk along a river bed to get there. Half way there my friend needed to tie his shoe laces. As he began to tie his shoe I decided to sit on the floor because I was tired from the walk. Before I knew it he was already asking me to get up and start walking so we would get there faster.

Right after he said that I looked up at him to ask him to give me a minute, But before i had a chance just to do that I saw what appeared to be a v-shaped UFO flying across the sky at a very fast speed. This UFO was a baby blue and it was glowing in the night sky. As I watched in amazement I could not do anything but point at the the UFO as it flew by.My friend got a good look at it for about a good 3 seconds, I saw it for 7.(I'm only guessing.)The UFO was flying across the sky in a perfect straight direction eventually disapearing.

Shape: Circle


I noticed three craft flying in a straght line with a fourth craft flying between the second two, making a right trangle, off to the right side of the line. The crafts were the size of pin-heads and of a silvery color. My attention because of the slow flying and the straight line of their formation, Military aircraft fly in a Vee formation.

My mother and I were waiting for a bus at the Grayhound bus terminal in the city of El Monte. To the north of our location is a small, city, airport. I was watching small, priviate, planes taking off from the airport. As I was watching the planes taking off I noticed four small, slivery aircrafts flying towards the West. I kept watching them as they were flying in an unuasual manner. I told my mother who could not see them, at first. I waited until another plane was taking off. Just as the plane was to the left of where the crafts were I told her to look to the right of them. She then saw them for herself. I observed them for several minutes as they flew overhead at a very high altitude. I hope these next dote show up as I would like them to . This is the formation in which I first saw them. As I . watched the crafts flying towards the West they seem to . arc to the start of a circle arcing towards the left as . follows below. . . . . The crafts disappeared overhead behind palm trees. The sky was clear and the sun was in the East. There was nothing to give me any reason to think that they were normal crafts seen in an unusual condition. That's about all that I can give you. I only hope that it helps in someway to figure out what is really going on around here. Good luck. ((Name deleted.))
