"Streaking Green Light"

At approximately 7:21PM, during a heavy lightning show, which is quite unusual for California, we experienced an oblong glowing streak traveling horizontally which we believe to be a UFO for the duration of approximately 4 seconds. It appeared to be traveling from the south to the north. While I’ve had 40+ years of flying experience with my father who piloted a private aircraft, this is something I’ve never seen before, while at an unusually low altitude and very fast speed.




NUFORC Note:

Good video, but anomalous light may be a lens flare, caused by a car headlight. PD

Golden Meteor

Looking toward the southwest I noticed a gold colored light. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and plane-spotter. This light ontinued to grow in size and luminosity. I then recognized the light to be a meteor with 2 peculiarities: it was travelling West to East and it was a shimmery gold and monochromatic. It was also probably the longest duration event I've ever witnessed.

I was at a local restaurant and saw in the east a dark craft about 7 feet long traveling north at the speed of a small airplane. It was about 100 yards from me, and about 65 feet high.

When it went behind a cat wash sign it did not reappear from the other side of the sign.

Glowing Sphere Over Garden Grove, CA.

The incident occurred on 3/30/18.

I was lying on my couch facing the large windows (which face west) in our living room (curtains were open). It was after 8:30pm. I saw a glowing orb in the night sky. I had seen the full moon that night but I knew it was on the other side of the house. Still, I thought, “That’s not the moon is it?” and went up to the window for a better look. I’m skeptical of UFO sightings but had to take a closer look.

I ran outside. There were some wispy clouds in the east but in the west the night sky was perfectly clear. There were big trees in the way so I walked onto the sidewalk and saw a dirigible shaped aircraft that was completely glowing or lit up. The entire thing was lit up or glowing, much like the moon. In the low center of the aircraft, off to the right, was a blinking red light. The craft was flying low (although well above the trees) and traveling at a steady pace and headed north. I saw no exhaust or smoke. I walked up the street and followed it for a bit wishing I had my camera. I was completely sober. I had just come back from a Good Friday program at my church. At the closest range it was probably a little smaller than the size of my palm if held up away from me. It seemed to be going away from me so was probably on a northwest course. As I followed it I thought, “It’s probably a dirigible.” But I’ve never seen anything like it.

The blinking red light has made me think it’s something from earth, since that’s what all of our airplanes have on them. But I’ve never seen anything like it. Of course, I had never seen a stealth fighter before I actually saw one. But why would the government make something that glows?

Strange White Light - Orb With Surrounding and Later Trailing White Veil

6 February 2018 starting at approximately 6:25 ending 6:33 PM PST Garden Grove, CA., Approx. 33.796N, 117.963W At approximately 18:30 PM PST, I was in the front yard of my parents' house in Garden Grove, CA. It was an hour after sunset (17:28 PM) so the sky was dark. There is a street light directly across the street plus an outside light that was on and the lights from inside. From this position, close to the house and with those lights it was difficult to see any other objects in the sky or immediately determine the visibility conditions.

I happened to look up over the roof of the house towards the south-southwest and I noticed a light which was brighter in the center and spread out to the sides. It looked similar to moonlight shining through clouds. My best guess at its exact initial azimuth position would be about 195-205 degrees and about 40-45 degrees above the horizon.

I didn't think it unusual at first and pay much attention to it since I wanted to finish working as quickly as possible. A few minutes later I noticed that it was still in the same location. Still I didn't think it unusual and without thinking it through assumed it to be the crescent moon or the planet Venus behind some haze or a thin layer of clouds. Those are the only two objects that could be bright enough to shine through haze or light clouds anywhere near that part of the sky.

After a few more minutes of it being there I wanted a better look. I walked around to the west side of the house. The light was still in about the same part of the sky. This is when it really grabbed my attention since I better seeing conditions in a darker area.I was facing directly south and realized that it wasn't the Moon behind a cloud or haze. It wasn't Venus either which is never in that part of the night sky. I'm a long time amateur astronomer (40 years) and know my way around the night sky well. At times, Venus can be over 40 degrees above the horizon after sunset. But it is never in that part of the sky where this light was. The Moon is excluded also. It was a week past full moon and now in the waning phase. Moonrise didn't occur until 00:09 the next day. So what was it? On my phone, I pulled up heavens-above.com sky chart for the current sky to see if somehow I had forgotten a bright star in that area. This took a total of about 2 minutes. That part of the sky, contains the constellation Eridanus which has no bright stars. When I looked up again, the light had moved towards the south and was continuing to do so. It was now about 20 degrees to the right of Rigel, (0.18 mag.) the brightest star in Orion, and about its same distance above the horizon. At that time Rigel was 42 degrees above the horizon. The light was now clearly moving but not what I would have called rapidly. It had a white veil or a mist trailing it that covered 2-3 degrees. It looked very much like what some call an orb and the veil trailing it much like that of a rocket's exhaust backlit by the sun as it ignites the 2nd stage.

I knocked on the glass door but didn't see my parents. I walked away from the back of the house into the backyard for a better look. It was dark enough there to see other stars and only then was I able to see that the sky was clear with excellent visibility. The wind was calm. The light continued moving slowly in SSE direction with the white veil trailing it at about the speed of a commercial jet nearing cruising altitude. I know that the size, altitude and speed of an object are difficult to determine against an open sky with no objects for comparison. I won't attempt to do that here. I recorded some video with my phone but by then it was too dim to show up.

My son and I where setting in our backyard when my son looked up and said " what is that?" I looked and seen a black round disc traveling northwest in the sky. My son went and got binoculars and was watching this disc move as I was. His fiancé came out to witness this ufo and seen the same thing. When looking at disc threw the binoculars you could see round ball like things around the disc. It moved at a slow pace than it would stop and hover for a long while. It was a cloudy evening so the disc really stood out. There is no doubt what we witnessed was an alien craft of some kind. The way it moved than would just stop and hover was like no other thing we have ever seen. Very strange!

Dear NUFORC,

On the night of 09/27/15, it was about 10:40 PM, I came out and watched the Moon. I used my iPhone to tape the moon. There was something around the moon, but I did not paid attendtion to that thing at that time. Until in morning, I took a look at that video clip.

I was chilled by seeing a green round object running about the Moon, and then it hid behind the moon. I shared this clip with my co-workers. They all astonished. We all had the same thoughts of Aients. I was thinking and thinking about the clip, if I shuold share this video clip with experts or NASA to analyze the video clip (the clip last for 14 seconds), if they can explain what is that object.

Finally I decided to search on line. I found NUFORC. I would like to share this with NUFORC. Please advise. Thank You

A green object was in the sky, moved at a high velocity, stopped, hovered, and moved in the opposite direction at a high velocity.

There was a green light with a smaller light right near it in the sky moving about 25 mph, then it sped up to about 100 mph to the right, then stopped, hovered for about 10 seconds, then moved to the left at about the same fast speed, then it stopped for a little duration, then disappeared.

I'm a firm believer of UFO's, and this is my second time seeing a similar object in the sky. The first time was in Fountain Valley, CA.

My friend has a neutral background with UFO's.

Two white teardrop lights drop or were propelled from an orangish red sphere southwest of Garden Grove, California

I was visiting relatives in Garden Grove on Christmas Eve. I had driven up from San Diego and had just gotten to their house. I said a few helos and then went out into the street to smoke a cigar.

It was 10:15 pm. I was standing north of the corner of Scandia Street and Stanford Ave. (exact address omitted). I was looking southwest. There was a bright orangish red light almost hovering; but moving slowly toward me. At an arm's length, maybe 2 to 4 fingers above the house/garage roof across and one house south of me.

After watching it 30 seconds or so, two slightly bluish white teardrop spheres of light fell from the orangish red light straight down. They seemed to be going faster than if they were just falling. Shot down followed almost immediately by the second one. They were not beams of light; but lighted objects or spheres of light much longer than wide. These bluish white lights were a color I can not describe accurately; but laser-like would be the closest description. Not only laser-like, but even more vibrant than laser-like. This light seemed like it had depth or maybe partially transparent; but brilliant. I have never seen anything like them. They were not round orbs, teardrop or at least much longer than they were wide in shape. Again, they did not seem the fall; but were propelled downward. They were not lite all the way down, but winked out before they went below the roof top southwest of me.

Anyway, I was excited, to say the least. The orangish red light then turned in a quick motion and was heading almost away from me, slowly. It started to fade first, and then pulsed on and off and then was gone. It didn't seem to dart away fast; but seemed to wink out. This was now about 1 minute from when I first saw it. Then 4 minutes later, the orangish red light appeared again. This time it was slightly further away but moving quickly towards me again. When it got to about the same place the bluish white lights had ejected from it; it even got a little brighter. It again, arced! away, or turned 180 degrees and quickly went away, or faded out as it moved away. I was never scared. I keep thinking about those bluish white lights. They are kind of engrained in my memory. They were such a unique shape and brilliance. In terms of distance away, I am not sure how to judge distance. A mile or two?

Anyway, not a few blocks away. I first filled out a form for MUFON on Christmas Day. A couple of days later I was contacted by an Investigator who seemed to think these were Chinese Lanterns. Well, I live about a mile from the beach in San Diego.

A couple of months ago I almost had a Chinese Lantern land in my yard. So, I have seen Chinese Lanterns.

My sighting on the 24th was not a Chinese Lantern in my opinion and for a few reasons. Number one, the orangish red light went out for about 4 minutes. If this was a Chinese Lantern, it would have dropped quickly to the ground in that period of time.

But instead, the orangish red light came back on at the same ! elevation after the 4 minutes. It wasn't a second Lantern as I would have seen it also.

Secondly, the orangish red light did not move like it was adrift.

And thirdly, the bluish white lights that dropped or were propelled from it.....well, that was interesting.

I said earlier that I am not sure of the distance this sighting was from my vantage point. I have learned since my first report that the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Storage Facility is 1.5 to 2 miles southwest of my vantage point.

Just thought I would mention that. Sure wish others had also seen this event.

Orange in color diamond shaped lights seen in the sky hovering over garden grove.

I was traveling east bound on Lampson Avenue passing Heather Street when I noticed what I first thought were airplanes coming in for landing at I assumed the Long Beach airport. As I got closer it appeared to be in the shape of a diamond. There were 4 lights that I saw. Picturing a diamond I seen one up towards the top two in the middle side by side and one towards the bottom. At one point I saw the two middle lights kind of spin around each other like switch places. The lights appeared to be orange in color. As I approached the intersection of Manley & Lampson the lights were directly above me. I proceeded to make a right turn (south) onto Manley street looked out my window and realized they were directly above me.

I proceeded to the end of the street which was Stanford Avenue at which point I made a u turn and parked my car at the intersection of Manley Street and Lampson Avenue at which point I looked out my window and they were gone. No where to be found, in the distance or otherwise.

I posted a comment on my facebook page in which a friend of mine who lives near by indicated that her and her husband had seen the lights as well. Except she recalls seeing 5 lights.

small orbs dif speeds&direction,5bigorbs,lessActivity. 2LARGE crafts,scaled sky dominantly & reappeared only a few times

watching Disneyland fireworks in our front yard, noticed a light like what looks like an aircraft coming in from a distance. after seeing one we began to pay attention to its surroundings. the sky was dark, moon was clear, many stars visible, very few clouds, we scanned above the tops of houses & trees & instantly noticed what looked like stars..only they were moving and strobing. they would be bright strobes/pulses and faded in brightness. we went inside to research online, went back out 15minutes later & noticed there were MANY surrounding the whole sky, some were stationary, some would travel horizontally then move up or down almost straight vertical. we noticed two of these orbs that were "chasing" each other keeping the same speed and distance. these ones at one point also had a third appear lower in the sky that headed upwards to join them. these orbs were different colors-white, orange, red, light blue; some went in different directions; som! e solo; others unisom. others seemed to be jolting at bigger objects. there were bigger amber colored circles that had a glow to them that didn't have much movement.. some of the smaller ones would go fast towards them and appear to go just above & below. the bigger orb would slowly move to our right and become stationary in a spot not too far from where it started until the smaller ones seemed to agitate it again & would move to the left back to where it originally was. anytime these smaller orbs would be by themselves moving in any direction at a faster rate than the majority, we noticed a few minutes later in the same path a straight, thin, faded white cloud in a single line. we also noticed what seemed to be an oversized white airplane, no sound move across the sky..it had lights that lit up and illuminated the craft at the back and front end. there were two bright white lights, like headlights, at the side of the back end and one on what would be the side of the nose o! f an airplane. this circled our sky, crossed the moon & disapp! eared pa rallel to where we first saw it. sometime after we noticed the moon was no longer seen in the sky a little later where it had disappeared we saw another big craft rounded rectangle that had red & blue lights almost like a police helicopter. it went to our right very smoothly in pace, and then stopped almost instantly and immediately went back to the left but was then only flashing red lights. once it went left to its origin, it would fade or go low to where we couldn't see... this craft would show up every 10minutes or so and do the same pattern except I did not see it change from red. we also saw what normally i would have considered a shooting star but it didn't so much fall as it was much more horizontal. there was a weird glow in one area of the sky and a sepia colored fog progressively started to roll in from that direction.. the sky was covered in a dim fog that removed all visibility of any objects or even stars, half hour later we went back out and the sky would b! e clearing in big areas of focus and no further objects were positively seen, but we did catch some flashes that caught our attention, nothing was absolute as it had been. video was recorded during this.. a lot was caught on camera, but there were also times that we could see with our eyes, the auto focus box on the screen would follow, but nothing was visible besides the black sky. one of my husbands videos, which we shot & viewed recording just as we were seeing, ended up playing back almost cartoonist, where the orbs were distorted and warped with brighter colors that I could best describe as when you look at flames, how there's almost a gas above the bright flame that warps and waves what you would see in the background... I would also like to add that we could hear rumbling almost like a train in the distance would sound that would come and go, it would even at times get so creep-ily silent.. I've lived in this house for almost 26 years, this was definitely NOT normal

Looked like a star/satellite following a polar orbit, then changing directions.

I was outside having a smoke looking up at the stars, as I do at least 5 times a night. I saw what at first I thought was a satellite (which looks like a star moving extreamly fast across the night sky). It was traveling across they sky at the same speed you see satellites cross the sky. I was going straight north, so I thought it was in a polar orbit. It was directly overhead when I first noticed it. As it was moving North, once it hit about a 45 degree viewing angel, it made a perfect 90 degree right (East) turn while keeping speed. It did not curve the turn like a jet, but made an exact cornet turn like following the corner of a square.

Then it went made another perfect right turn back South, then again back West. And once it crossed it's original path, it mase a few curves around. I don't really remember exactly it's path after that because I was in shock. But it curved around a bit and ended up just a little East of it's original path, then back! South, and then I lost track of it. It was a little foggy, so it was hard to see the stars. You could only see two or three of the brightest stars, and this was a little brighter then the brightest star.

Blue Light in Garden Grove

Was going north bound on Harbor Blvd., passing Garden Grove Blvd. and saw blue lights in the sky... proceed north on Bruno Street off Harbor Blvd and turn right on Chapman Ave west of Harbor Blvd... got out of my car and saw this ufo with blue lights going on and off and moving at high rate of speed with no sound coming from the craft... there was a black unmarked helicopter chasing the craft but could not catch up to it... I did call 911 to report the sighting but they said that there where already handling it...there where several witness, on foot and cars some with video cameras filming it...and it did stop traffic dead in it tracks... I observed it for at lease 20 to 30 minutes and my friends really got scared of it so I left to take them home and came back to the scene where by that time the craft was already gone and from what the witness said that the ufo drop something which fell in a hotel parking lot and Garden Grove Police intercept it... and took! something in a unmarked police vehicle.... they already tried to make a cover story about it saying it was a fly home made air plane but it was not the case... the ufo I saw was at least 2 helicopters in size and huge... and no way it was man made... the flying rotation was not producible by man made technology and the bright blue lights where not from here... really no way ... and several witnesses say this event unfold...

I witnessed to UFO's collide

I was driving to work and saw to my left through the windshield what looked like 2 large stars. The sun was just coming up but it was light out and normally stars could not be seen at that time. The one "star" on the left was stationary. The one on the right was speeding towards it incredibly fast. There was an explosion and then nothing could be seen. When I got to work I checked online, checked the news radio programs but nothing was reported. There were lots of people on the road and I know I couldn't have been the only one to see this. It still haunts me. Nothing could move that fast. Then no debris, no sound?

Triangle shape, broken into three discoid or round objects, shinny like polished stainless

It appeared like a single triangle shape at first, but then it broke out into three objects separated by what appeared like the length of half a football field between them. Try to take pictures but the objects would not show on pictures taken with digital camera, and then try to take video but objects would not appear on played video afterwards. Objects disappeared into sky a bit later after taking video. The objects where shinny but did not see any signs of a contrail so I am sure it was not a conventional craft.

two objects, very high up. doing criss cross formations across the sky.

It was about 9:30 Pacific time and i was about to do my usual sit up routine before going out for my saturday evening. It sprinkled rain for a few minutes that evening and made the sky very clear with partial clouds.I was lying on my back staring at a 747 probably landing towards the long beach airport. Suddenly from the right side of my vision, i noticed two bright objects, extremely high up in altitude flying extremely fast side by side, then crossing each other as if they were flying some sort of formation, but almost as if the objects were playing, very organized. The objects were definetely not shooting stars or comets. The objects flew in a playful organized pattern across the sky at extrodonary speed. the way the objects criss crossed and exchanged paths was so amazing to see,lasted for 3-4 seconds,flying into in the distance.

Three Orange Lights in the sky above Garden Grove, CA

Following the firework show a group of eight noticed three orange balls of light moving through the sky...all evenly spaced out..same speed....no sound. Then all 3 hovered in one spot and at virtually the same time all disbursed in different directions at a velocity that could only be described as something you would see in star wars...we were all speechless as we saw this unfold. The orange balls jetted so fast that they literally vanished. Our neighbors also witnessed the occurrence and said it was the second set of lights to move through the night sky.

Flash of Blue Light

I saw a flash of light. It was too close to be a shooting star. It left a thick trail light blue of light. After it flew for a while across the sky, it seemed to have "exploded". Although it "exploded", there was no fire, just a small poof of blue light which caused it to stop moving in its linear direction. After it "exploded" it all disappeared really fast.

This was rather easy to see, despite the fact that I was around a main street where there were plenty bright lights. I just want someone to explain to me what I saw. It was in Garden Grove, CA (Orange County) at approximately 9:30 pm on 2/6/08

Bright Turquoise light moving in the sky then completely disapeared

We had just exited the car when arriving home at my parent’s house. My mother stated look up in the sky, my father and I looked up and we saw a bright turquoise colored light, it at first looked as if like a missile going up at an angle into the sky very slowly, but then appeared quickly to be horizontal. It appeared as if 2 sets of lights one on top of the other, the light/ object moved to the right and then quickly back to the left and then again to the right. The light faded on one side and then completely disappeared. The sky was partly cloudy and the movement appeared as if behind a cloud part of the time, but you could still see the bright light.

Flying object spinning green and white flying south over Garden Grove. Seen by my 11 year old daughter.

My 11 year old daughter was in her room laying in bed not asleep yet. Her room was dark and her blinds were open. She had a full view of the night sky.

Approximately 10:15 PM, she ran out of her room very scared and confused. She said she felt and heard the vibration of strong energy or what felt like electricity in her room. Then she looked out her window and saw a round shape object spinning into a green and white colors. She said the thing was flying south until she lost sight of it. She then jumped out of bed and ran out of her room. She came to me (mom) in a state of confusion and shocked looking pale and unable to talk Until she calmed down she was then able to tell and describe what she saw. This is her first sighting. I believe she probabley was able to sense thier energy flying over our home.

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Medium-sized white cylinder follows aircraft and departs over Garden Grove.

I was in my backyard observing the thick cirrus cloud cover when I saw a low airliner travelling westward leaving a persistent contrail. Along side the aircraft was a small white object that I can only describe as a cylinder. It continued to move with the aircraft, and then went on its own path moving southwest. It continued to move in that direction until it began to slow down very fast. It was hovering in one spot for about a minute. During this time I went to retrieve my camera, but when I came back the object was not there.

I scanned the sky hoping to find it but to no avail. The object during the whole account was at an altitude of about 15,000 feet. It had a long and rounded shape with a line down the center. It was probably about 30 feet from one end to the other.

Unusually large star catch's my baby's attention..

Sitting on the patio with my son, who just turned 2, when he pointed to the sky (southwest towards the coast) and said "light". The word (light or lights) is one of the very few words in his limited vocabulary and could mean a wide variety of things. Not expecting much I looked up and saw what appeared to be an unusualy large star or planet. The "stars" larger than average size, unusual brightness and semi-sqared shape really got my attention. It also appeared to have several smaller lights ringing or dotting it's parimeter. As for movement, it looked mostly stationary, like an airliner does when flying twards you on decent from medium altitude. Not a very dramatic sighting for sure, but I'm sure curious as to whether anyone else noticed this, or was it just some normal celestial occurance. Note that it was bright enough and unusual enough for my toddler to take notice.

We were going North on Beach Blvd when we saw this object with very bright white lights in the air. We kept looking at it because it didn't look like a plane. It stayed in the mid air and got really close when we turned onto Garden Grove. It was definitely not a plane or a blimp. Anyone else saw it on that day?

We saw a bright white light that was hovering.

Me and my family were driving on beach blvd. in garden grove, Ca when i looked out the widow and saw a bright white light that was stoped in mid air.

I thought it was a helicopter but then when we were turning down the next street we stopped at the light first and i noticed that it moved closer to us. Then as i watched it went to the south realy fast and stopped and imploded on it self.

I know for a fact that it was not a helicopter or a strobe light on an airplane or something. This thing was only about 200 feet off of the ground.

Please tell me what you think it was.

On Nov. 02, 2005 at 5:30 pm, my family and I witnessed a strange display of lights over the city....

I was driving east to pick up my son from kids club when I noticed what I thought looked like lights from an airplane or chopper flying towards me when all of a sudden the lights in the sky swooped down very quickly then went up again then side to side spiralled in all directions. The lights were so vivid and close but I could not see the shape of the object only say the lights associated with it.

I pulled the car over to get a better look, me and my four year old daughter were in ahh just looking at the lights as they danced in the sky. I was trying to make sense of the what we were looking at thinking maybe it was a kite with lights on it, but it was moving to fast and covered so much distance and there was no fluttering noises like kites make.

Then I thought maybe it was a remote control airplane, but there were no engine sounds.

When the object would descend and climb it would strobe 4-6 lights in front of it and when it would spiral it would only have 2 red lights at the tips of the craft.

My daughter and I watched the lights/object in the sky for about five minutes till it disappeared. Then I picked up my son a few minutes later at kids club and started telling him what we saw and where in the sky.

Then my son spotted the lights in the sky and so we watched the lights in the sky while in the car driving east on Chapman Avenue we stopped at the red waiting to make a left (north) on Knott avenue, that's when we noticed the second craft in the sky with the same exact characteristics as the first one and we watched the two(2) objects flying in the sky flashing their lights and spiralling in all directions.

That's when the signal light turned green and I raced down the street to pick up my wife from work and I got to her worked I parked in front and honked like a mad man telling her to hurry and get in the car so I can show her the lights in the sky so I raced around the office buildings to the back where there was a clear view of the sky but when we parked we only saw one of the objects about 3-5 miles south east but she was able to see the objects lights and its extraordinary maneuvering capabilities.

We watched the objects for approximately 2-3 minutes till we lost sight of it.

The whole sequence lasted about 30 minutes from 5:30 pm till 6 pm.

Please note, it was already dark outside since we had turned the clocks back on Sun. 10/30/05.

Object moving at a high speed in full daylight observed by two witnesses.

Object was white or possibly silver, definitely metallic looking. Object appeared very high in the sky in full daylight, no clouds. Saw two planes pass underneath with a seemingly great distance between them. Object was moving from east to west at what seemed to be fast, erratic pace. Object left no visible trail. At first glance the object appears to be round, but after watching it move for about a minute or so, I thought that it could have been cylindrical shaped. Object was observed by myself and one other witness. I went inside to get binoculars, could not locate object when I returned.

Observed high altitude single white light traveling from south to north over Orange County, California

My wife and I were visiting friends in Garden Grove and stepped outside to have a cigarette. I usually take a look at the sky, because our friends have a spectacular view unobstructed by trees. Looking above the constellation of Orion to the east, We noticed a single white light at high ltitude traveling from South to North in the conselation immediately above Orion (which was just starting to rise) at an etimated elevation (Azimuth?) of 60 degrees from the horizon. The light was steady white as it traversed in a nearly straight line until it faded out of sight to the north after about five minutes of observation. There were no observable navigation lights. It may be a satellite, however the object seemed to make a gradual 10 degree course change to the right (east) as it passed over Orange County. The estimated flight path would have crossed the LAX landing pattern at approximately 16:12 hours and there were aircraft in the pattern. I am a 42 year old public relations manager and my wife is in 43 year old software salesperson. Before we made the report, I checked Heaven's Above to confirm any prediction of satellite or Iridium flare activity, however I found nothing conclusive scheduled at that time for my area.

Around 6:30 PM I was walking through a Vons Pavilions parking lot when I looked up and saw 4 black objects near the ground. 3 of those objects turned out to be crows, but one flew steady at about 10 feet from the ground down towards a field. It flew at about 2 mph, as I ended up walking right by it. It was a black rectangle with a uneven dome on it in the middle. It had small panels on its ends that were angled straight down. At no time the object made sound. It flew ahead of me crossing a main street where the field continued across the street. I saw it until it disappeared from haze and/or fog in the field.

It disappeared in part of a second

Coming home from a local restaurant I saw as I walked a low bright light coming down my street. As I walked through an apartment complex, at night, I lost sight of the light at times. When I walked to my street sidewalk the light stopped 8 to 9 yards from me. The light was 2 high beam car headlights on the front of a 16' in diameter round object. It hovered about 14 feet from the ground over a pre-school playground. It had a stack in the center made of sectioned or paneled bubble glass. No light could be seen in the stack. The car headlights were the only light, and were about 4" apart. I observed it transfixed from the sidewalk for about 2 minutes when it budged a foot then in a part of a second disappeared northward. Only the tracer from the car high beam headlights let me know the direction it went. The tracer was open on the bottom, and closed on the top. It made a slight upward angle.

As I was putting my jacket on in my upstairs apartment I looked out my window in the West. In the distance at about 600 yards I saw what I first thought was a jet then I thought it was a comet. It slowly traveled along at about 10 mph when it turned upward and completely disappeared into outer space, as its 20 foot tail followed. It was all a bright white. 7 seconds later an object showed up in one second, as it stopped and hovered. It looked like a beautiful precious multi-colored stone, and was about a quarter of an inch in diameter. In 3 seconds it disappeared in part of second about where the comet object did.

Three days later, at about the same time of day, I was walking home from the library. As I was crossing a field, as a shortcut home I saw it again. Only this time it filled one-eighth of the sky in the north. It was about 120 feet high and traveling at about 10 mph westward. In about 10 seconds it turned upward, and disappeared into outer space, as its vaporous tail followed with it.

Since then I saw this object in my area 4 or 5 times at about 6,000 feet altitude. I could not mistake them for jets.

Christmas type UFO

It was around 11:00 PM when I just closed my eyes to sleep. In about 5 seconds after closing my eyes I decided to roll over. As I was rolling over I saw over my carports an object traveling eastward at about 1 mph. It was about 10 feet high, and looked like an outline of a concoction of boxes. It had different colored blinking Xmas tree type lights on each of its corners. In the center of it was a cross in an acrylic type glass. I could see light inside. I had a strong sense that somebody was mad inside, but not at me. The object made no sound.

Reported: 1996-12-30 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Garden Grove, CA, USA

Shape: Rectangle


SUMMARY: A HUGE black retangular object. At least twice as big as a blimp even with it being about twice as high in the air. No lights. Seen just after sunset DIRECTLY OVER my house. It moved slowly until it disappeared into the dark sky.

It was almost dark when I saw it. If I had walked out just 15 minutes later, I would not have seen it. The object itself was totally black. No lights. I thought I might have seen four round circular objects on the underside as it passed over us but I can't be sure because it was so dark already. It was huge and passed almost directly overhead. This was either three or four years ago. I called my father to come outside and he did. My father and I are both business owners. My Dad didn't believe in UFO's before but he does now. I have always been interested in them.

Lazer like fire from staionary objects in sky!

I have had 3 sightings to date Peter this is my first one.Sorry it took so long though please know I have shared my sightings with other groups.

In 1990 I was co-managing a hotel in Garden grove ,Cal. It was a gloomy day in southern Cal. with low clouds and drizzle when in the mid afternoon I heard strange sounding thunder and lighting. I went outside amd thats when I saw "it"! I can't be exactly sure on the amount because it happened over 10 years ago but I believe there were "9" ,I saw nine glowing balls of light in the clouds. They were all in a gemomectric pattern equally spaced apart from each other. When a type of thunder sounded off these objects would begin to grow and get brighter. They also produced this strange loud electrical sound like a buzzing that would keep getting louder untill one ball kind of exploded. When this happened the ball that exploded sent a lazer like line of electricity at one of the other nine,that one would then do the same with perhaps one opposite it .This continued in a pin ball like fashion as all balls got hit with this lazer thing. Everytime one would recieve it's hit it grew in size and brightness.The balls fired the lazers so fast back and forth at each other it was hard to follow. When the thunder stopped or slowed so did light showthough it would start the next series of "zaps" 30 seconds or more later.

They seemed to generate their own energy after the initial kick start from the clouds. These balls never moved and them being in the clouds I never saw any more then bright glowing round lights in the low clouds.

I went inside our hotel and got my co-worker who was Chinese to see this for him self. On seeing the balls in the sky he ran back inside and tried to pull me in to. "this is very bad you must get in" I thought maybe he saw something like this in China so I asked him what it was but of course he had no idea.

I have researched many UFO books and have well surfed the internet and have found only two sighting that were a bit similar though not the same.This was very hard to put on paper ,you must have been there to understand how strange yet powerfull it all seemed. A ufo fight? A dimention opening up? A star wars experiment(over a hotel?) ((name deleted))

4 individual ligths separate from main body, disperse then reunite and are retrived by main body

On the evening of March 8, 1991 at approximately 7pm, my wife and I were on the Garden Grove Freeway, headed west towards home. I remember that date and time exactly because that is my birthday and we were headed to our home for a “surprise” party. We noticed a very low flying bright “diamond shaped” light, flying just above tree level alongside the freeway. It was headed east bound as we were west bound. It was only approximately 100 feet up. At first we thought it was a helicopter because of the slow flight. We rolled down our windows to see and hear it better and we heard absolutely nothing. We then pulled off onto the side of the freeway, got out of our car and watched it. Usually even against a very dark sky, you can make out the outline of a helicopter or whatever, but we could make out NOTHING of any shape other than the diamond-shaped light.

Suddenly, it “dropped” four different lighted objects…I first thought they were flares, but after dropping approx. 10-15 feet, each of the smaller “lights” took off in level flight in 4 different directions. We were stunned. We jumped in our car and followed the closest one, which was headed west, which was towards the Long Beach Naval Station. We drove to a high point, at a Mall, where we got out of our car and watched. From this vantage point we were able to track and see all four of the “lights” in the distance. In the meantime, after dropping the 4 “lights”, the main diamond-shaped light turned and headed slowly north/northeast, in the direction of Anaheim.

After about 15-20 minutes, the 4 lights started heading N/NE back towards the main light. We again jumped in our car and followed as quickly as we could towards Anaheim. We then actually saw each of the individual 4 lights arrive at the main “diamond-shaped” light and slowly rise up into the “light” After all 4 were retrieved, the main diamond-shaped light took off at considerable speed to the north where we lost sight of it.

I do NOT believe in “little green men”. We checked the papers the next day and saw no other reports of this sighting, which is mind-boggling because of its location, and the duration of the incident. I am now a retired physician living in Las Vegas and have never seen anything like it since. To me, the most unusual aspect was that no shape was distinguishable against the night sky other than the diamond-shaped light

During the process of putting things away in my new upstairs apartment I looked out my window and I saw a 10' tall object suddenly appear about 100 feet from my window. When it stopped it made very fast pendulum type movements. It looked like a 4'in diameter multi-colored ball with a 6' multi-colored stick coming up from the center of it. In 3 seconds it flung out upward, and disappeared into outer space. I never heard a sound.

Some kind of evil looking airplane?

It was around 10 PM as Marathon restaurant was closing. Living about a 1/4 mile from the restaurant I was entering a fence opening which served as a shortcut home. When I looked back and up I saw a small white light high in the sky. The light came down over the center of the street (a main street), as then I saw a black 20' long airplane. Its wings were angled back, and on the backs of the wings were semi-circles. Both wings had 4 or 5 semi-circles which communicated to me that it was evil. The tail wings were ordinary airplane wings. When it got about 20' over the middle of the street it sharply pulled up. It then flew upward at an angle into outer space disappearing. There was no sound. No light was seen when it got close to the ground.

Shape: Cigar


I was at the Newport Beach getting on the Newport freeway from Newport Blvd. Just as I was getting on the freeway, in a lot of traffic, I saw to my left ahead of me a 20' long cigar shaped object. It was about 70 feet from me, and about 40 feet high. It traveled northward at about 3 mph. It had what looked like molten lava all over it. It had no visible doors or windows. When it flew to my far left trees obstructed my view of it that I permanently lost sight of it.
