A black rectangular craft rises out of river bed floats in the air, moving horizontally back and forth before disappearing into the sky

I live near the Kings River in Hanford California. Almost nightly for the last two years, a square or rectangular shaped object appears above the river, approximately a quarter mile from my home. The craft floats back and forth horizontally for approximately ten minutes, and afterwards, will disappear into the sky. This occurs at various times throughout the night and sometimes multiple times in the night.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

UAP

Traveling northbound Highway 41 in the California central valley, my friend and I witnessed a flying object approximately 300 ft elevation traveling westbound over the highway. The object displayed two large bright white lights (as a ghetto bird might use in downtown Fresno). It moved at approximately helicopter speed. As it turned northwest after crossing our line of sight I kept waiting to see the nav lights to become apparent but they never did. The object slowly traveled northwest over the coast range and and out of sight.

Location: Hanford, CA, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

At approximately 2125 I saw a large, bright diamond shaped object traveling south to north at a high rate of speed . I looked at the object through binoculars and it was too bright too see anything other buit the most brilliant white light I’ve ever seen. It appeared to slow down as if it was aware I was looking at it. I felt a slight wave of anxiousness, and then it seemed to pick up speed again and kept traveling in a north eastern direction. I then, went back inside of my house for about 5 minutes and when I came back outside it was gone, as if it had never been there. I don’t believe this was a plane as there were no blinking lights and the rapid rate of travel.

Characteristics: Missing Time, Animals reacted

Rectangular ufo flies over residential area near train tracks in Hanford.

One summer night, I looked out my window and looked at the sky. After a minute I saw a distortion in the sky. It was a black rectangular flying object that basses offer (sic. passes over?) the house I was in. The event only lasted seconds but I remember the craft from the distance from me; looked like a large coffee table.

After the craft left my sight, I saw nothing more than the stars. While in sight the stars were all blocked out, as if there were none. Craft just flew in a straight line.

During the time I saw it, there were no animal sounds.

I have no idea how long I was looking out the window.

The object made no sound.

About four days earlier my husband was working on the flight line at NAS Lemoore, CA, and he and two of his coworkers saw three brights stars moving in a triangle formation when one changed direction and moved off quickly.

Then, I and two neighbors saw the one brights star make a few strange movements then take off quickly.

I am retired military and know this was not an aircraft.

Sincerely, ((name and e-address deleted))

P.S. Keep strong. Your work is important.

Brightly colored silent craft moving right over houses and trees

I'm retired military. I live in Hanford, Ca.

I went out to call the cat in and wondered if the moon was viewable. I walked out to the pool and out of the corner of my left side I saw bright lights very low and slow. There was no sound. Bigger than an F-18 smaller than a 747. It was weird. The colors were weird. Blue ish purple, red, yellow and white.

I thought I was probably misidentifying a helo or plane but my house was in the middle of the horse shoe path it made. I don't know what it was but it was very pretty and creepy at the same time like it had thoughts. Anyway it went from my left neighbors house down to my back neighbor then arced up around my right neighbors house. Very low and slow no sound.

I ran through to the front of the house and poof it was gone. Very smooth.

In the military, I do have witnesses to other things, but those looked different and I believe I've reported those.

Ok, we'll hope that helps anyone else that saw it.

Reported: 2009-02-17 18:29 Pacific
Duration: 5 min
No of observers: 1

Location: Hanford, CA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Silver fat disk fading in and out with a blueish tinge, very high speed , in a perfectly straight line n to s

Outside, clear blue sky with scattered clouds very high up. Sunset was not for another two hours. Walking out to my car, way outside the city limits, I looked up and observed a disk shaped object flying from north to south in a straight line almost directly above me and very high up but underneath the clouds that were there. I was standing at the front of my car and before I had a chance to reach the truck of my car for my binoculars the object had flown out of my sight. It did not veer off, but what caught my attention besides the speed was the fact that it was fading in and out, as to say it was there and then it wasn't and it continued that clear across until I lost sight of it. I am fourteen miles from a Navy Air Base, and this was not one of their planes, nither was it a commercial flight as about five min. later I observed a commercial craft, that I could see clearly, flying from east to northwest and higher than the object I had observed. The object was a silver color with a light blue tinge as it faded out and reappeared. I have worked near air fields, at White Sands MB and am a retired police officer and have seen a lot of strange things. This is just another one I tried to eliminate from other things I have seen. Couldn't come up with an explaination on this one.

Duration: 4 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Hanford, CA, USA

Shape: Cylinder


Object appeared and disappeared (blinked in and out), no noise, no colored lights, no wings.

Blue sky, near sunset. Sparse clouds, high. Object flew N. to S. down center of San Joaquin Valley about highth of regular airliner. Object caught gleam of sunlight and turned silver as do other planes in similar situation. Before I could get from the front of my car to the trunk area, the object had flown past going south down the valley at a very high rate of speed. No colored lights as other aircraft. Object was blinking off and on, I mean winking in and out, disappearing completly and back on again. It appeared cylindirical but was very high up for me to get a good look without binoculars. Area is frequented by regular airlines and we have Lemoore Naval Air base about 10 or 15 miles from that location. I am familiar with their speed and appearance and that of regular aircraft. This object was way faster that any jet I have observed or airliner. I only saw one and there was no one in the area to show or to see it that I am aware of. I work at a tomato factory that is way out of town and can see the valley sky without any objects getting in the way. I have seen objects before, but not for some time and just happen to be looking up. There was no noise before or after the object passes overhead, and there is always noise from the jets and aircraft passing over.

Massive flash of light preceeding a large fireball falling to the earth

I was travelling West on Hwy 198 just outside of Hanford CA when there was a bright flash of light that illuminated the entire atmosphere, similar to a flash of lightning only more intense.

I looked to the south which was where the flash was brightest to see a fireball falling in a straight line to the earth.

It was a large fireball, with the fire lasting approx. 20 seconds before burning out.

It seemed to be around 20-30 miles away. Please tell me there are others who saw the same thing!

Shape: Disk


Daylight disk seen over Hanford, California

Object (1) seen directly overhead - just happened to look up (as an amateur pilot and airplane buff, I am interested in what happens in the sky) and saw a brilliant white object - for a moment, I thought it was a feather but quickly realized my error - the object was perfectly round, a little smaller than the full moon, with no fuselage, wings, empennage, or visible means of propulsion - it moved rapidly in a straight line SE toward Tulare and disappeared - the object made no sound (I can easily hear passenger jets flying overhead where I live) and no exhaust (vapor trails, etc.) was seen - I saw and heard a passenger jet flying northward just a few minutes later and easily made out the normal jet plane design (fuselage, wings, empennage) - it was much duller in appearance than the object - I have seen many meteors and a meteor it was not - I cannot say with any certainty how high the object was nor its true size but if I had to estimate I would say it was between 7500 and 10,000 feet - I tried to contact FAT radar without success but did contact KSEE-TV to ask if anyone else had reported seeing the object but they did not have any additional sightings to report
