Location: Kernville (8 miles north of), CA, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Three green glowing vertical streamers seen North East of Kernville 7/17/2004, One several hundred feet long.

While camping on the Upper Kern River, 8 miles north of Kernville, CA, we witnessed 3 separate objects approximately 30 minutes apart. They appeared to originate a short distance directly east of the river, (1 mile?). The first 2 were vertical in nature, long & thin, approximately 150 feet long, phosphorescent green glowing consistently & rising slowly as if they were a streamer from a hot air balloon. No balloon or other object was visible above the objects. The third object was 2-3 times longer & had an offset near the top 1/4 of its length. It rose very high over a period of 15-20 minutes, decended slightly & continued east until out of sight. The light from the third object undulated at times & was so long that we couldn't explain what could cause it to rise or what purpose it could be serving.

I went on a camping trip to Kern River California this Memorial Weekend. I was lookin at the beautiful sky that night. There were many stars that night and it was very beautiful.

Suddenly, I noticed a star moving I guess north for a distance of about nine inches and turned left and disappear from my view. I noticed it and my friends noticed it also.

Because we thought it wasn't real, we waited for about 15 minutes and again we noticed a star moving this time south from different location. It also disappeared after few inches of movement. We saw another one moving I guess west for few inches and it also disappeared. Another one moved west for few inches and it disappeared too.

At the end, we saw two moving south simultaneous with about one inch apart. But one on the left was wobbling a little.

I don't know exactly what I saw but I did a little bit of research and I believe it's not a plane, satellite, nor meteors. There is something about moving star but it's not located in our galaxy.




NUFORC Note:

We, too, do not know what the witnesses observed, but we believe that satellites would be the first possibility that would have to be ruled out. Satellites almost never course to the west, but parallax has to be taken into account in this case, we believe. PD

Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 5

Location: Kernville, CA, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Chevron Shaped vehicle with blinking red lights

A massive V shaped pattern of lights in the sky heading south in the vicinity of Kernville, CA. The lights were red in color and appeared similar to those found on rescue vehicles. The object appeared to be a single structure. The body of this aircraft looked as though it was a very dark color. What really caught my eye was how massive this object was and how preportionally slow it was moving in the sky. I have never seen anything like this before. but I feel extremely confident that this was not a conventional aircraft. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. However, I have heard of sighting of this type of aircraft by climbers around the Mt. Whitney area.



NUFORC Note:

Many other reports. PD
