Saw orbs circular bright lights forming triangle shapes .. darting away at light speed

My Son called my husband and I outside, my husband stayed inside i went outside. We saw these orbs shooting around in the sky forming triangle shapes. I couldn’t believe my eyes there is no plane or any other explanation.. they were so fast ! It was right above the suburbs. They darted away and came back in the blink of an eye. I could have date wrong.. we didn’t write down date. I didn’t believe in UFO’s now I do. I work at a school and I am regularly drug tested.

I saw between 6 and 8 objects moving in formation across the night sky.

Location: Galt, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Black triangle with rounded edges with bright round lights near each corner, crossed over freeway I-5 April 30th at 9:40 PM .

I was driving south on I-5 South of Elk Grove and North of Lodi. At 9:35 PM I spotted a bright light in sky near the western horizon (to my left). I watched as the light got brighter and bigger. It was travelling due East. I slowed my car to try to intercept the crossing of I-5. As it got closer I notice there were three bright lights within a triangular craft. I parked my car off the edge of the freeway as I felt I was directly in the path. It slowly passed directly over my vehicle and myself. I estimate it was about 1000 ft. (I served 8 years in the 82nd Airborne with over 200 parachute jumps. We jumped from 1000 feet so I know estimate the craft at the same height). It was large, black, tringular with rounded corners. It had extremely bright headlights. It was flat, with several small white lights where jet engines might be located. It crossed the freeway and headed due west. No noise what so ever. I had a very clear unubstructed view. There is no lights, houses, buildings or trees on that section of the highway.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

I saw a big ball of light fall straight down, hang for a moment then zip straight back up the way it came.

I was driving north on Elliot Road toward the intersection of Jahant at around 12:30 AM the morning of November 10th, 2007. A large, very bright ball of light dropped down into my field of vision in my windshield on the driver's side. It just hung there in the sky for several seconds before it suddenly zipped straight back up into the sky the same way it had come. It happened very fast. I stopped and leaned out to see if I saw it in the sky anywhere but it was totally gone. In my windshield, it was probably about the size of a big headlight but the light was very defined, edges not blurry at all. Not a very good comparison but that's about how big it looked.

I've seen this once before sometime around the fall of 1977. I was lying on my back in the pasture with the horses one night around 8:00 in the evening. I was looking up at the sky when suddenly a similar ball of light appeared to fall straight down into my field of vision. It hung there for a few seconds, then it started to move straight back up slowly. I sat up because I started to get a little scared. All of a sudden it took off almost straight back up but angled off to the right a little bit. Then it just disappeared. I lived in Mississippi then.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

large ball with green light outside and red and orange inside with red circle in the middle.

On July 17 2004 around 4:00am Me and my husband and our two friends were having a get together playing cards and what not when we went out side for a smoke I saw a large bright light in the sky at first I thought it was a plane but it was not moving it stayed in one place so we got out a telescope and a video camara and starting taping it when we saw it on video it was round and it looked like little nucular explosions on the inside it move from side to side up and down it was moving closer to us then it would move futher away. thought the telescope it looked like small molecules like looking through a petree dish at a virus or something it had like a green light around the outside and red and orange explosions inside the circle with a solid red circle in the middle of the red and orange. As the sun began to come up it got futher and further away. I have not seen it since and the was no report of any thing in the news I'm not sure what I saw but it was not like anything I have seen before. Shortly after this like 10 or 15 min. our friends two dogs dissappeard out of thier yard and ten turkeys appeared in the front yard we did not see them apear or go away when the dogs came to the back door the turkeys were gone. not sure if it has anything to do with this sighting it was just kind of strange. I have a video but I'm afraid to show it. Not sure if it is safe to report this but I need to know if I'm crazy and if I'm not then what is out there............



NUFORC Note:

We suspect the witnesses might have been looking at a "twinkling" star, or perhaps Venus in the eastern sky, but that is only a guess on our part. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 37941
Occurred: 2004-07-04 19:30 Local
Reported: 2004-07-06 11:11 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 30

Location: Galt, CA, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

A silent , fast moving, translucent object was observed by 30 people.

We were watching fire works when a round shaped object appeared. It was traveling a pretty fast pace, but did not make noise. The object was clear but seemed to have lights inside of it, almost like a jelly fish. There were also yellow lights on the bottom of the object. A group of about 30 people witnessed the event.

We had seen several aircraft in the area flying at about the same height and their engines were heard clearly, the object we seen was silent.

The object flew from west to east on a straight line, the altitude & direction never changed. If it had been a balloon or radio controlled device, it could have never flown like the object did.

We do have a flight path over the site, but it is south to north, not west to east.



NUFORC Note:

Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. We would like to correspond with the witness, and we would welcome reports from the other witnesses. PD
