Characteristics: Lights on object

50-100 feet west of highway 101, 100-200 feet in the air, bus sized or larger craft. Bright central light, green and red light to sides

I saw this flying object last night driving northbound on 101 in NorCal. 11/29/24 17:20-17:35 near Healdsburg CA.

There were people pulled over looking at it it was probably 1-200 feet in the air but it was the size of a bus. I should have pulled over and taken pictures of it, but at first I thought it was a drone. It was just chilling and hovering looking over the valley. I keep going over the silhouette of the chassis in my head and it just didn't make sense that it was a drone. So weird.

It was a huge bright light between a red and a green light on either side. I was CLOSE to this thing, the bright light at the center looked like a ball of plasma and I couldn't hear anything or see any air disturbance off the edge of the highway to indicate downward air pressure from a conventional turboshaft engine. The silhouette of the craft looked like it was the fuselage of a plane, but instead of a radar cone at the tip was that big bright ball of plasma, it had a red light on the left wing and a green light on the right wing.

Location: Healdsburg, CA, USA

Shape: Chevron


3 chevron shaped objects...traveling together from the east and separating in the western sky.

Three chevron shaped objects streaked across the sky traveling east to west. They were directly above me.

I was trying to locate the galaxy andromeda and was focused on the constellation Cassiopeia when the lights came into view. They traveled in a delta formation. As they crossed overhead they separated in the western sky and disappeared out of view. My visual event lasted no more than five seconds.

My first inclination was that they were some sort of night flying white birds. However dismissed that notion as they were traveling very fast.

I thought also that they were iridium flares however I am sure they do not occur in threes.

Entire Sky Lit Up Briefly

I live in a rural area surrounded by vineyards and forests and was with my uncle John and my dog Rufus. It was shortly before dark and we were walking down a slight hill, towards the creek that is adjacent to our property. We were about 50 feet down the trail from my driveway when the entire sky lit up for a very short period of time. I remember a chill down my spine and a feeling that something was not quite right.

I looked back and to my right at my uncle who was a couple of steps behind me and he looked slightly confused as well, but with no obvious reason something had happened we continued on our walk.

I didn’t think much of it, but upon returning home I realized approximately an hour had passed, when we were quite obviously only gone for about 15 minutes. And that is why I will always remember the fifth of November.

It was around 8pm. My wife and I were driving north on HWY 101 up to Geyserville, CA, from Santa Rosa, CA. After passing Healdsburg, CA. We pulled onto Alexander Valley RD. We were going to a casino. On the way up we had noticed very strange looking Sunset? I took a movie with my phone. A Very bright area in the movie. Then we noticed a bright blue line? If you look at the movie you can see it on the upper left. This Line was similar to a jet stream but it did not dissipate? It was solid from where we were. You could look back behind us and could see that it extended clear back towards Santa Rosa. That’s over 28 miles. We had reached the casino and we could no longer see it after dark. It was not a jet stream, it was bright blue. We asked others at the casino it they had seen it. Even the guards. But no one had. But it was there because we did film it although I was lighter in the film.

This was a startling experience for both of us!

Radiant lights in pairs, one after the other, following in a controlled line, west to east, continuing in the line. They disappeared one after the other after traveling away. The light didn't appear to be electrical.

bright orange oblong object flying very low over house. Healdsburg, California.

I was in the backyard letting the dog out when I looked up and saw a bright orange light, oblong in shape, flying silently by. It wasn't flying all the fast but by the time I saw it, it was close to the trees. It flew right between the tops of two trees and was gone. My husband was in the house on the couch and he saw it through the tall window we have. We live on top of a mountain so as it went through the tops of the trees it was at a slight downward angle.

Very bright flickering lights hovering over mountain ridge in Russian River/Healdsburg, CA

This was our third night in Russian River and I had not seen anything like this the prior two evenings. These lights were far brighter and much larger than any star, airplane, satellite or tower I had ever seen. It was a straight line of approximately 7-9 lights, flickering rapidly and hovering over the ridge of the mountain. It appeared to be a disk shaped object. It was much higher than any tree or structure on the side or top of the ridge. They were the most brilliant lights I have ever seen, and no one in my party of four could come up with a reasonable explanation for them. Even though the photograph I took is far from doing it justice, it still shows how much brighter this object was compared to everything else in the sky. It was still hovering when I went to bed at 12:30am, but gone when I awoke at 7:30am.

I was at Lake Sonoma pig hunting, somethig caught my eye in the western sky. It was a bright light about ten miles high and moving west. When it got over a mountain another one appeared and was moving in the same direction. They both continued west and over the mountains then dissapeared.I know it was not a typical aircraft,because they appeared out of thin air. I'm a true believer of ufo's.I was skeptical before but not anymore.

A bone chilling sense of REALITY

I've never decided to talk about this siting outside of my circle of friends along with the other witness that was with me at the time. It was around the age when I was about 15 years old I'm now 25. Through the years I've found out strangely enough how common this type of craft is reported (black triangle) UFO. Me and a friend were walking back to my house from another friend's house late at night somewhere around midnight (completely sober) and were walking through our old elementary school in Healdsburg, CA, walking thought the "black top" which is a large open space where we had break and lunch at the school when we were younger attending that school. At the time of night and part of town the sounds of cars and other things are pretty much dead silent, as we were walking my friend tapped me on the shoulder, I looked at him and I saw the shock in his eyes as he pointed up to the sky. I looked up directly above us maybe 500-1000 feet in elevation...! yes that low..was a triangle formation of red dim lights, non flashing. One red light at each point of the triangle craft plus a couple in between each point. Around 7-10 lights if my memory serves me right. But we saw in between the lights pure darkness to confirm it was a solid craft to make up the triangle. It was HUGE. We guessed at least a football field. It was DEAD silent and flew at a speed most modern aircraft would "stall"....now, at me and my friends age we were both big military buffs including on USAF aircraft, as I later became in my adult life and army infantryman and he a marine. At the time we were familiar with B-2 bombers and F117s. This thing was nothing even close to human capability. The very SECOND we seen it we didn't even question if it was human or not. We just KNEW it was from out of this world. But what was so strange was that it flew so low and slow over a populated area...like it was scanning or something, who knows. Not even a experi! mental military craft would do that over such an area. No question in our minds we saw something out of this world and none of our friends believed us after the fact. It never bothered us but whenever me and that friend reunite time to time it's the hot topic between me and him haha. Something we will never forget!! I hope in my lifetime there will be a explanation for these things (alien life)....

Characteristics: Left a trail

At 9:47 p.m.m PST, I was walking close to due north on Healdsburg Ave, Healdsburg, CA. I saw a very bright white object (about 10 degrees west of due north) which looked like a comet (meteor) or a re-entry vehicle. It was unusually large, and sufficiently bright to be seen over the street lights of our small town.

It appeared to fragment as it approached my horizon (about 30 degrees elevation)and then was extinguished. Except for its substantial size and brightness and fragmenting, it looked like a meteor.

The trajectory was from about north east (at about 2 o'clock) toward the earth about north west (at about 7 or 8 o'clock).

There were no prior noises heard, indicating it was a locally launched rocket.

I can't give much more info, but if you would like to talk to me, 707-((number deleted)).

((name deleted)) I left a contact at NASA also.

We spoke with this witness, and he sounded to us to be credible and serious-minded. PD

Not made in U. S. of A.

While having a smoke,my attention was drawn to the sky dead West.I saw what appeared to be landing lights of a aircraft flying in a dead reconing east direction.What made me pay fixed attention to this craft was the fact that I never have observed any kind of aircraft flying this flight pattern approache.It was moving almost at a deliberate slow speed.I noticed a very bright light on what I think would be the tips of each wing.At the middle point of this object Inoticed a smaller light that appeared to be slowly spinning.As it got closer,I suddenly got an eary feeling that what I was looking at was not made in the U.S.of A.It moved very slow.As it traversed directly over me,I noticed that the stars in the night sky would be blocked out.But,what was rally scary was the fact that this craft made not a sound.Thera was no engine sounds,n ot even a whoosh or hiss.Well thats it.I only hope someone else saw what ai saw.

triangular mass moving from west to east in the night sky, at first thought it was 3 satillites moving together.

As active satellite watchers and UFO witnesses (in Minnesota in the 80's) we did observed this But there was never a variance in the shape or size of the mass as it moved across the sky which procluded us to think it was indeed all one unit moving across the sky.

while going home from work, traveling north on 101 from Santa Rosa I saw a large light in the sky. I stopped to look at it. It was about 25 to 40 feet long & had lot's of white lights, at least three big white lights & many fainter white lights & one faint flashing red light. At least three of the white lights where flashing. It made no noise. It was traveling about 40- 50 mph, & traveling from the northwest to the southwest. It took about 5 min. for it to cross the sky. I looked at it through my bynoculars & took hi-8 camcorder film of it. it was about 150 to 250 feet off the ground & 1/4 to 1/2 mile awy from me. I took about one min. or so of footage. The footage is in three segments, due to an object getting in the way, & may shaking & needing to move in order to prop my arms on the side rail of my truck to steady the camcorder. No contact or missing time.

I was traveling home from work on highway 101 out off Ranta Rosa, when I saw a bright light on the horizon to the northwest. I desided to pill off the road tpo get a better look at it, as it seemed to be coming towards my position. I Exeited the freeway at Central Healsburg Ave. & drove out of town & found a dark clear or open place to stop. I at first stayed in my truck & uust rolled down my window & looked at the lights through my bynoculars, I at that time determined that it was light no other air craft I've ever seen so I grabed my hi-8 camcorder & begain filming. it too a bit for the camcorder to focus on it.( it was swt on auto focus) after getting in focus I zoomed in on it useing the lens zoom only. it's been my experience that when I use the digital zoom the quality goes down grately, so I don't usually use it. Then I lost it behind a object so I got out of the truck with the film still running & got it in sight once again, but I was shaking to badly to get a steady shot so I again move to the side of my truck to prop my arms on the side rail. I got a few more seconds of footage before I was distracted by the other lights that where in the sky. I think that most if not all of the other lights where commercail aircraft. I tried taking footage of them but didn't do to well, they where further away. This area is really close to where I saw another light in the sky back in Sept. or Oct. 99, in Windser. It's as the crow flies about 1 to 1 1/2 miles away. The triangle was traveling with the point in the front or pointed in the direction it was going. it never turned up or down, left or right, yaw & roll, or speed. I could only see the faint/small lights when it was at it's closest. I could not make out a body or outline off the craft.

Gigantic rectangle, dark w/white spots. Followed by jets (2). Similar to Pheonix lights story.

I was at a winery in the Dry Creek Valley looking east when I saw this rectangular object moving in a southerly direction about to go behind the range at the horizon. It had white spots on it in what appeared to be evenly spaced. The object was massively large. I mean gigantic.

Approximately 1 minute went by when jets flew from northwest to the southeast in the direction of the object that had already went behind the range.
