I was sitting on the back patio looked up and saw the UFO quickly pass over

It late night. I was alone on our back patio. Our back property is surrounded by trees. This blocks out the lights from the city and the neighborhood. We often spent the night sitting by the fire tracking satellites. This not the first time we have witnessed what appeared to be a UFO. But this was the first time it was close enough to silhouette itself. I always keep a spot light next to me on a small patio table. We do have occasional creatures "RACOONS, OPOSSUMS, AND SKUNKS... NOT SPACE CREATURES I tried to shine the light on the craft as it zipped by...it showed no reflection. I could make out what looked like a Triangle Shaped Craft with what look like circles or lights running along the bottom side of the V shaped craft. I raced to the upper patio to see if I could spot it but it was gone. There was no noise. I scanned the sky. I could see what looked like a fast mover (Military Fighter) at about 10K+ moving in the same direction. The craft passed by so fast it's hard to comprehend the size - but much larger than a drone but not a large aircraft.

Shape: Fireball


As I was going out to my car I grabbed what I needed shut the door and looked up at the sky and saw a huge Orange fireball but it didn't have fire 360 degrees around the circle it was on the back end. I watched it for about 3 to 5 seconds then ran to get my husband and told him to come outside. It was still slowly moving across the sky. When he came back out I ran in and grabbed my phone it came out and took a couple pictures and then took a video. Right at the four-second mark it vanished. I saw it traveling across the sky oh, it was under 35000 feet because then I saw a plane at 2 o'clock from it but the airplane was much higher than this object so I know the object was under 35000 feet. As I'm watching this orange ball of light slowly move across the sky from west to east, I then saw it to ascend up towards deep space and away from Earth. It was moving from west to east as I was facing north. I then saw it slowly ascend back towards space and then it vani! shed. I saw it so well with the naked eye.

5 separate large fireballs with bright white light in the middle of them each. At one time it looked as if it left a smoke like trail.

Driving home on Hwy 28 Wednesday night on May 8th, I looked to the east towards the Organ Mountains and just a little south of the Organs noticed 5 large bright fireball lights with a redness orange circle with a bright white light in the middle of it they were in a formation of an arrow < Two on top one in the middle point and two on the bottom. I was able to see the mountain behind it so clear. I called my husband and ask him to go outside to look which he would of been able to clearly see it from our front yard. But he was in bed and did not want to get out of bed. I hurried to get to Snow Rd turned left on to Snow Rd and could see the highway noticing traffic with break lights and semi trucks as it they were at a stop and looking. I was for sure someone would be taking a picture. And would hear of it in the newspaper or Facebook. I turned on Onnies Acres and Once I reached my house I could see but only one as if the fireballs as if they were moving d! own. I backed out of my driveway and took off towards south main turning right and driving to see if I could get closer but the pecan trees were to high and I was lower down. I was surprised nothing was in the media.

Massive, Cigar-Shaped White Light Hovering

I was driving to work today, when I saw a massive, cigar-shaped bright-white light hovering over East County San Diego. I was driving east on Interstate 8, when I saw it. There was not a single cloud in the sky, due to the high pressure that has been present in San Diego.

I lost it as I was driving through Mission Valley, because the Southern Mesas were blocking it out. When I drove out of the valley at reached the top of Montezuma Mesa, it completely vanished from the sky without a trace. I estimate that it was at least a 1/2 mile across in length.

I saw this same object on October 26th, 2017, from my balcony, moving over the Pacific Ocean. I reported that sighting along with pictures of it earlier. I also have 2 short videos of it, too.

Fast moving object blue white light nighttime only visible for a second.

I was out on my balcony, smoking a cigarette, when I saw a flash of blue-white light which was traveling from east to west quickly pass overhead. I saw it for only a second, or possibly even less.

It couldn't have been more than a few thousand feet overhead, but it was hard to tell due to the fact that it was only visible for approximately a second.

As far as I could tell, it was a single object.

I have no idea as to the shape of it, since I only witnessed a flash of blue-white light.

There was no sound. And I quickly stood up to try to get a better view. By that point it was gone.

I've lived in this area for about a year and a half, and I'm quite used to the normal police helicopters, border patrol helicopters, commercial airline planes, and private planes that move around the skies in this area; as well as the sounds they produce.

This was like nothing I have ever seen before, and the fact that it produced no sound is what really made the hair on the back of my neck prick up.

Driving westbound back from 7-11 store. Seen very large circle shape white light coming down from direct above space toward ground at a very high rate of speed.

The circle was larger then any jet aircraft and had no tail or trail of light. Estimate headed out in pacific ocean.

Called in to police to report. both of us saw this and we went to top of hill to see if we could see impact but did not see anything else.

Missing man V formation

While stepping out in my back yard for a smoke, I always look up into the night sky, usually say my hellos to Orion this time of year, then I suddenly saw a movement to the side of me.

It was a 3-1 V formation, one lead, 2 on one side and 1 on other side, moving North-Northeast.

At first sight thought "odd flock of birds", then instantly realized they were not birds. Moving much faster then birds though at what appeared to be same altitude as birds would fly.

Size not overly large, which gave first thought to being birds.

Quickly surmised sighting, four oval/disk shapes, moving way to fast to be birds, silent, no deviation from orientation to each other, no motion other than a straight trajectory, perfect flawless formation and consistent speed.

Light enough whitish hue to be seen but not bright, almost a stealth kind of look. As they passed over the house I moved to continue watching them but I could no longer see them.

With a head movement from left shoulder to right shoulder the whole event lasted no more than 4 seconds.

Unidentified lights fly in and out of formation high in the night sky over east San Diego

I was in the jacuzzi looking up at stars as I do often. I noticed approximately 6 or more very bright lights in a row moving from north to south. The lights were very high in the sky, at the level of the highest stars I could see. They all blinked separately, yet in close intervals. At one point, one of the lights broke away from the line and traveled back in a northern direction. It quickly shot back into the line yet followed behind the line a bit.

I ran down our stairs to the back door to call my wife and daughter. They quickly came outside and saw what I described above. The line of lights had moved quite a bit south by now. As my wife looked closely (her eyes are better than mine), she noticed more than 6 lights. She said she could see faint lights in an oval or triangular shape behind the brighter lights. She and my daughter saw the lights moving at a slow pace.

The row of lights often changed formation, but ended back in a row eventually.

My daughter tried to video the lights with her iphone, but they were too high to film. We did shoot for a while and you can hear our audio.

After the lights disappeared in the southern sky, we all confirmed with each other that we had never seen anything like this. And, we believe it was a UFO.

At one point we thought it might be the international space station, but the lights moved.

Unidentified rapidly ascending sphere

Observed an object with 5 other folks that shot up extremely rapid from a neighboring hill about ½- ¾ mile away looking Southeast. It was a clear night at dusk. There was still some sunlight showing from behind the ridgeline. Object shot straight up at least 3-400 feet. Object left no apparent trail. There was no sound. At that height stayed there stationary for 3-4 minutes. Then it started to descend very slowly making an “s” shape back and forth motion.

I thought it might be a firework but when it got down to just above the ridge line it stopped descending and made a more exaggerated back and forth motion. It stayed in that state for 7 to 8 minutes.

At this moment I could see the sphericalness to it and the colors of green, blue, and orange swirling around. Can’t tell if the object itself was rotating. It appeared solid and metallic. There were no landing lights. I estimate the object was the size of a mid-sized car.

The locals wanted to locate it after it got below the ridgeline and we got in our car to look for it but there was nothing to see.

I have 20 years’ experience in aviation repair. And have seen most commercial and military aircraft and work in the field. This was no aircraft or anything that I can identify. I was a skeptic of UFOs prior to this event. But this has been a life changing event. I feel stupid telling other people.

Large star-like object moved up and away in the south-east sky

At around 7pm I took my dogs out to the back. It was early and not fully dark yet. The stars in the sky were just becoming visible. I looked up and noticed a bright, huge star. I was moving in a south-east direction. I hollered for my husband, but before he got outside the object moved up and away quickly and vanished. It was like nothing I had seen before.

A moving star-like object changed direction and "blinked out"

I was out on my back porch and looking at the stars (as I always do) and I noticed a particularly bright one; and it was moving. At first thinking that maybe it was a satellite, albeit bright, I was about to go in when the “star” made a sudden left turn.

The satellite theory went out the window for me and I ran into my house to grab my camera. Since the star had changed paths, I went out the front door knowing I would meet it coming over the roof. I turned on my camera to video mode, but as I had to zoom in all the way to make it appear on my end, I soon realized as it continued to move away that there was nothing special about the video I was taking – meaning there was no backdrop that would prove its movement, etc. Through the lens it just looked like a bright star.

Frustrated, I turned off my camera and watched as the “star” moved further away. Then, just as quick as it had appeared, it was gone. It was like some switch had been flicked – the “star” just blinked out. It literally just turned off its bright light. Now I wished I had filmed it.

Mr. Davenport,

On Jan. 1, 2012, as I went outside to listen to the gunfire and people celebrating (1205am), I saw 4 orange, almost red. They were coming from behind a tree in my front yard, they were in no order at all, they came from the north, to the west, as I was looking due west toward the ocean. They hovered and then moved away from each other, then back in formation again, with I amazing speeds, then just faded out one at a time.

I had not had a drink at all!! I then ran into the house and got my video recorder and shot about 1-2 mins. of video. As I zoomed up with a very power full zoom lens, they looked like the ones that were flying over Arizona back in the 90’s. They were spinning like a basket ball would be if you had it spinning on your finger, when I zoomed up close.

I did take a 1.30 minute video if you want a copy.

I am 58 years old, and live in San Diego Ca.

I just heard you from 1/12/2012 on stream link now. That’s why it has taken so long to write you .

I hope you get this.

Tear drop comet looking objects in the sky

I and my girlfriend were going too hung out with our friends at the place called Living room. As we parked our car and got off I spotted in the distance two star looking lights close to each other. I stopped and started observing them. The objects looked like a lights on the passenger plane wings. Bright yellow color. Close together. Within few seconds me and my girlfriend are noticed that those lights slowly started what looked to us falling down. They changed shape and looked like a comet with the fire trail.

As the "tear drop" objects were falling they were separating from each other further and further.

All of the sudden one of them stopped and than they both disappear in the sky. As from the angle it looked like they could be well observed somewhere around otay or san yasindro border. Or maybe even chula vista.

Both I and my girlfriend witness the event.

3 Red Beacons in Triangular Shape above Mount Helix at Midnight of NYE 2010.

My friend and I walked up to the peak of Mount Helix in Spring Valley, San Diego around 11:30pm on 12/31/09 to celebrate the New Year with short meditations and a wonderful view of the city. We gathered together in front of the large cross right before midnight and both said some kind of prayer and set intentions for ourselves, others and the world for this next year. We gathered together all of our negative energy and offered it up with appreciation for all the wisdom we gained from its challenges. As soon as we offered them up towards the sky, we instantly noticed 3 Bright Circular Red Beacons in a triangular shape in the sky slightly north of our position on the hill. They were just floating without any sound whatsoever and the light remained constant. My friend said he noticed some flickering of another color (possibly green and red) as he zoomed in with his digital camera but I did not notice this nor was this apparent to the naked eye. We thought! they might be helicopters at first but they seemed way too high, stationary, mute and close together to be so. After a couple minutes or so, they began to slowly float directly above our location and then slightly past. Their triangular shape began to grow smaller as the Beacons moved closer to each other. Then, at approx. 12:15am, one Beacon began to move off in the distance towards Downtown SD and the waterfront. The light eventually disappeared in the distance - again, no sound, no other blinking lights and very high up in the sky (nothing like a helicopter). The other remained for about 2-3 more minutes. Then they both began to fade as they seemed to travel farther and farther away from the surface of the earth. By this time, the lights were in between the constellation Orion and the Blue Moon. The lights, according to our best observations, did not simply dim and shut off but actually "flew" or floated farther and farther away from Earth until they finally dis! appeared from our view amongst the stars. We did not see any addition al sightings afterwards. We have short video clips from a Digital Camera of the lights throughout various times while they were present.

I am not sure what they were, but they were not frightening at all. We both felt it was somewhat of a sign or response to our prayers for guidance that we started the night off with.

I am a 25 year old Graduate Student who lives in North East CT but was born and raised here, in Southern California. My friend is 41 and is an Opera Singer and a Substitute teacher pursuing his teaching credential. We are both certified Yoga instructors and are very open to new thought and spiritual beliefs as well as appreciating the beauties of existing religions.

3 bright red lights hovering high in the sky in an elongated triangle pattern just after midnight 2010 in La Mesa, Ca

Tonight at appx 12:10am there were 3 bright red lights in the sky in a stretched out triangular formation directly overhead on my patio in La Mesa. Compared to a clock they were at appx 11:00 and 1:00 with the elongated triangle ending at 6:00. My home is in Mount Helix, Ca about 1/2 mile up Fuerte Drive from the I-8 Freeway heading east, my home is on the north side of Fuerte Dr and I was on my patio facing south. These lights were directly overhead as was the moon, they were just east of the moon, my husband and I both saw these and he and I both wondered if someone launched a very high balloon in the sky but they just sat there and hovered, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I’m 55. The entire triangle formation would be covered in length by holding appx 3 fists towards the sky from the two lights above to the one below, the two lights above were appx 1 fist apart from what I recall. They were much bigger than the surrounding stars like the ! size of an airplane light though they didn’t move and hovered directly over my home in this elongated triangle pattern for many minutes, maybe 4-6 from the time we both saw them. I went inside and came back out and saw they had moved toward the west and were still very bright, I went inside to find my camera and when I came back outside they were gone, no trace of them anywhere. It is crystal clear in the sky tonight and I have a great view, they were not completely round, maybe just slightly elongated circles of lights. There was also no audible sound like a plane engine, whatever this was it just hovered for many minutes without making any sound. I don't know if this was 3 separate things or one object with lights in a triangle shape.

Three red lights over southern California that made a triangle shape

My wife and I saw three red lights in the sky looking towards the west from our house in La Mesa California. The lights made a triangle shape and were moving across the sky. As if they were moving south. The front one broke off and proceeded to move away form the other two.

Then the one that broke off just vanished. The other two were there for a few more minutes then disappeared as well.

The total time that I had witnessed the lights in the sky over Southern California was about 10 minutes.

Bright cingular light above San diego that has no sound, has very jerky movement, and is at a extremely high altitude.

Me and my family spotted a glowing sphere of some sort about 80 degrees in the sky. The Sphere is a very bright white and appears to be hovering in place. It is brighter than any star or any planet around us by at least 10 times. The object appears to be moving in a small triangular shape with very jerky movements. We watched it for approximately 14 minutes before the light completely shut off. About 3 minutes later it was there again seemingly to appear out of nowhere, as if the lights just got turned back on. There is no sound and it looks to be at a very high altitude, much too high to be a firework, airplane, or helicopter of some sort. This light has also been seen on 08/04/2009 at 0:22 (12:22 am), about the same time as this one started. Both events were exactly the same, but the one on 08/04/2009 was to the far east and appeared to be over the Alpine area.

4 Red Lights over La Mesa/El Cajon

I generally don’t post things, but this I just had to.

On July 4th 2009, at about 8:50 PM, I looked to the SE part of the sky. We live in north La Mesa and can see the cross from Mount Helix from our back yard. The lights looked to be just east of there.

We have had other “sightings” before (3 years in a row except for last year), so this would be our 4th year. With the naked eye they look like red lights. They generally seemed to appear right as the fireworks started. But this time as I looked up, I saw 4 red lights in a large triangular pattern and yelled to my husband “They are here now!” I grabbed my camera (with tripod) and got some unique photos. With magnification, the red dots appear to look like some sort of worm like shape. And they moved faster than the shutter. Then 2 of the lights just “faded out”. I took as many as I could.

By 9:10: they were all gone.

Three bright red lights hovering in Eastern sky. Lights formed an equilateral triangle and then shifted sideways

I live in La Mesa, CA ( East county suburb of San Diego) I awoke at 1:20 am last night (2-24-09) after hearing a thump. When I looked out the window to the east, I saw three bright red lights in the sky. They appeared to be stationary They created an equilateral triangle. I awakened my husband. As we watched the lights; they shifted sideways, losing the equilateral shape. He went to awaken our son. As the three of us continued watching the three lights continued to shift. Then they became dimmer. Two disappeared with the third disappearing a few seconds later. About 8 minutes lapsed from the time I first saw the lights until they disappeared..

I also saw a similar single bright red light in the same eastern sky on New Year’s Eve (1/31/08). My Mom and Neighbor also saw this. This light appeared closer than last nights lights. At first we thought it was a flare, however it never dropped. It was a bit more North (left) in the sky as it hovered. After a few minutes, it shifted to the right (south) after several minutes it shifted even more to the right. We never saw it move. The next thing we knew it had disappeared. I would say that about 12-15 minutes lapsed from the first time we saw it until it disappeared. My 16 year old son was at a home in Fletcher Hills, a part of El Cajon (the town just north of La Mesa). He and his friends also saw the same light. He said that it appeared to the south of his location.

Shape changing object sited in southeastern skies of La Mesa, Ca

I looked into what I believe to be the southeastern skies from my apartment complex when I noticed what can best be described as a long shiny string in the sky. This occurred to me to be unusual and I continued to look at the object thinking at first that it might be some type of comet, or a really slow shooting star trailing debris. It looked like some points in the string were brighter than other points.

As I continued to observe the object for several minutes it changed shape and appeared to condense into a sphere shape. I am unsure if it was a single object or several smaller objects. There was a very bright star in the background, and a tree in the foreground. I noticed the object moving from side to side (in an east west manner) relative to both of these objects. I do not recall it moving above the star though.

I walked south a bit more to get out of the lights of my complex and try to get a better look, by that time the object was smaller and dimmer and I can’t be certain if it was my eyes playing tricks on me or not, but it looked like the object (it looked singular at this point) had dimmed and was moving back and forth in a very small area very rapidly. It was at this point I discontinued my observation after several minutes had passed. The object, in addition to changing direction several times, appeared to brighten and dim several times.

If I had to draw my own conclusion I would say it was some type of balloon, or a group of balloons strung together that was released from the ground. Why someone would release balloons at 9pm I cannot say, but that still doesn’t explain why it initially appeared so bright. reflection from the lights below can only explain so much and at this time of evening it is pretty dark outside and the lights of La Mesa not that bright unless they were all foil type balloons. My other thought is that the bright star I observed may have been a satellite, and it could have been damaged and trailing debris in the atmosphere, I am uncertain and I have reported the incident as best I could. With two possible conclusions.

Single small bright red stationary object in southern sky

Observed a single, very small, bright red object in the southern sky near Jupiter and Antares. Flickered similarly to a star but more slowly and with more variation in brightness. The shape was indeterminate due to the flickering and small size.

Object remained stationary for about four minutes after initial observation and then appeared to slowly move lower in the sky, suddenly blinking out after 1 minute of motion at about 15° elevation.

Object did not resemble a plane due to it remaining very still for four minutes, and due to the slow, irregular flicker. The color was a brilliant red, similar to that of a laser pointer.

Although this occurred on the fourth of July, it did not resemble fireworks in any way.

Streaking lights over San Diego

I was sitting in my house in La Mesa (San Diego) when my room mate called me hysterical. He said to look out front. I went outside to see 4 very bright lights to the east. They appeared to be quite some distance away but were as bright as the street lights that were just coming on. 2 of them sat perfectly still while the other 2 darted in and out of some low clouds. The 2 lights appeared to be from the same craft.

After a few trips into the clouds, the lights stopped perfectly still. The other 2 lights then took off in a zig zagging pattern. The light streaked behind following the movement pattern. Eventually, all the lights disappeared. The speed of the movement was amazing. During all of this, two of my room mates came home and my neighbors were watching. Everyone saw the same thing.

There was an Air Show in San Diego that weekend, but it was to the north west of my house. I attended the air show and nothing there made any movements even remotely similar to what we saw the day before. I am also a lighting technician and I know of nothing that can cause light to streak behind like that except for extremely high speeds. No aircraft can accelerate to that speed from a stand still in that short a distance.

It was a saucer with 4 lights & tan glow

I was the first person to see the craft. I alerted my friend who was to the left of me. ( we where outide on a 2nd story balcony) He first thought that it was just a weather baloon or something. But I inisted that it was something else.

About 30 seconds later it moved quickly aross our faces and then up. It seemed as if it rolled back on its side and began to flash in sequence 4 lights on its bottom side.

After that I called to my other friends inside to come and look. About 4-5 minutes past as t finished with its lights. We saw it move foward and begin shooting out some kind of gunor lazer or something.

After it finished it slowly began to move up( about 2min.) After about 2 min it took off without a trace

2 steady red lights observe fireworks on the 4th of July over LaMesa/El Cajone area San Diego County Calif.

While watching the fireworks on the 4th of July. I watched 2 steady red lights about the size of the stars already up in the sky. The red lights were moving together but the second one was closing space on the first one. When they got directly overhead the spot where the fireworks were being displayed they stopped. They were about if I hold my arm out I could put my thumb out and that was about the spce in between them. The red lights were a steady red light that's what caught my attention. Then when they were stationary they would blink occasionally like they were talking to each other during the fireworks show. Then after about 5 or maybe even ten minutes first one went out then a few moments then the other. I know it wasn't a helocopter because the height that they were at, plus the steady red light.

Saw a red cluster or fire ball hovering in the eastern sky. It blinked on and off and suddenly went out.

We saw a red cluster hovering in the eastern sky. It appeared solid and was blinking on and off. It did not move. Ironically, we saw the exact same light exactly two years earlier on new years eve 2002( we were sober I might add). It hovered for approximately 15 minutes and then the light went out. It was to high to be a plane and no way was it a helicopter.

It wasn't what I saw, but what I heard. low whiring sound directly over my home, but it caused no rumbling of my wind

Between 1 am and 2 am was a strange occurence over my home. It wasn't something I saw, but it was more of what I heard. I am accustomed to hearing Life Flight over my house and I am also familiar with a small frieght train that passes at around 2 am a couple of times a week through our neighborhood. However, last night there was a strange sound I have not heard before. First there was a white light that shown through my bedroom window which cause me to turn my head. It quickly went out, but was followed by a low whiring sound almost like a steam roller. It wasn't the local train because it didn't fade in and out and there was no train whistle. This sound was constant and loud similar to the Life flight, but there was no rattling of our windows as is the case when helicopers fly overhead. In the morning, a neighbor confirmed the same unusual noise and had come to the same conclusion as myself that this was not the normal noises we encounter regularly. I have not been much into UFO sitings, but this was too strange. I thought it might be of interest.

TWO ALIENS CAME TO MY ROOM - PLEASE READ THIS IS SERIOUS

When I was a child I remember seeing a V-shape of lights floating they remained in the same place for about 5 mins and then disappeared. I was this in the sky in North Hollywood Ca. This happen during the early 1980's In 2001, I lived in La Mesa California and resided in a 2 bedroom apt in a upstairs unit. I remember lying in my bedroom on the bed, and the room was brightly lit. I felt tired, and I asked my live-in boyfriend to go to a nearby taco shop for Mexican food. After he left I dosed off and feel asleep. The next thing know is my boyfriend returns and as he is entering my bedroom, he says very load "wake up! The food is here" as I opened my eyes I saw a gray like creature do a spin and disappear near my bedroom window. The first thought that ran through my mind was that after I feel asleep something was in the room with me. I didn’t tell my boyfriend for fear that he would think I was nuts. So, I didn't a word to anyone about what I had seen.

THE NEXT NIGHT: I had been on my computer most of the night. I then told my boyfriend that I was going to bed early, he stopped watching T.V and joined to go to bed. As we got into to bed I turned the lights off, but the room was lit from a light outside attached to the building. So, the bedroom wasn't completely dark. My boyfriend and I feel asleep after talking for a little while. In the middle of the night I woke up sweating, for some reason I was very hot. I got up from the bed and walked to my right to the corner of the room to wipe my face from sweat with one of the clean towels that I had in a laundry basket on the floor. As leaned down I grabbed the towel and wiped my face, and as I was wiping my face I notice something behind me that seemed to be small quickly run past me I turn to my left and looked to the floor and saw nothing. Then as I laid I dropped the towel, again I saw something moved. I turned to the right side of myself and looked toward the floor and saw nothing, and just as though I am seeing things. I notice something behind me to the left side. I quickly turn and looked and saw this small creature hovelling down to the floor. It had lizard type skin; it was mixed of colors of Black, dark green, dark gray. The little creature stood up and stretched his arms that had attached skin that appeared to be broken wings. The eyes were black and the feet looked liked hoof of a pig or horse. When the little creature aroused up it stood about 8 ft. tall, and it moved in a slow jerking move jerking manner. It stepped across the bed in one step, while it was stepped across the bed boyfriend woke up and tried to yell there was no sound he was only moving in the bed in fear. After the little creature stepped across the bed it turn toward me backing up it's back up away from the bed then it stopped with it's arm and body in a hunch, and sat still. I look at it and wonder how it be so small again, boyfriend was trying to turn on the bedroom light and hear him asking me "what the HELL is that thing?" I was speechless and never said a word because the small creature was still in the room looking straight through me. I look down at toward the floor to wonder where its long legs had gone. I notice that was another creature sitting next to it with its head hunched down to fit in the room. This creature was enormous in size. It had I long face with black eyes, it sat like a dog sitting straight up. I notice that it had two horns attached to its head that went straight back, it had the same colors as the little creature, but the feet were different. I so afraid because it was so BIG! That is when began to shake all over. Suddenly, I though about all of the people that said they were abducted and not believed. Then suddenly in a (psychic way) for a quick moment I saw a far away planet, where many humans were and not returned to earth. I was these many of the same type of creatures in a militant stance. They seemed to be angry, and then it all went away. I saw the two creatures standing in the room again. I thought of my children, and thought that I would never see them again. Suddenly I hear the large creature say with an angry tone "LOOK AT THOSE HUMANS", that's is when I quickly jump onto the bed and buried my head into the blankets and began praying, I quickly yelled TURN ON THE LIGHT! I don't why I said that. My boyfriend said I'm trying, I'm trying it won't come on. Then suddenly the light comes on, and I jumped toward him, and we look at the direction of the creatures and they were gone.

All of this seemed like it took place in 5 mins but it was really hours, because I ran out of the room to called my family and noticed the time and it was almost 5:00AM in the morning.

I don't think that I have ever been that scared in my life. To this day I wonder if anyone else had seen anything like that. I have looked on the Internet and have never come across an event like my boyfriend’s and mine. I do believe that what I saw in that brief vision like moment was these creatures preparing to attack us.

I am not concerned if this is believe by others and many may say that, but I only wanted to share my story with others just in case they have had experienced the same thing as I did.

Bright red light in the night sky.Sometime later separate fluorescent white light falls from the sky to the ground.

I was sitting on my terrace when I saw a bright red light in the sky.At first I thought it was an aeroplane but I noticed that it didn't have any other color lights nor did it seem to move.I have no idea how high it was but judging by the planes that were on their way to land at San Diego's airport my guess is a couple of thousand meters.I told my husband to come outside and look at the red light,he thought it might be a balloon(the flame that is) but it didn't look like fire to me.Then it just died down and I couldn't see it anymore.We went inside and about 20 min.later my husband said wow something just fell out of the sky...at first I thought he was pulling my leg, but he wasn't.He said he saw a huge white fluorescent light fall from the sky behind some trees that are on the adjacent property.I don't know if the two incidents are related or what the were? but I thought I'd report them anyway.

We have video tape of three nights, so far, of slowly moving, color changing light objects in the sky over San Diego.

I have video tape of three nights (I'll be checking tonight.) of light objects, slowly moving, color changing identical to the ones described by Whitley Strieber on the Coast to Coast AM radio broadcast last Friday night 11/17. Our sightings began at, approximately, 22:30 on 11/12. I was working at one of our computers with a southern view through a window of our home office. Laura came in to say good night and asked "What is that?" I looked up out the window and we both saw an unusually bright light in a clear sky with the moon near full. She said "It's changing colors." I have a color perception deficiency and could not distinguish the various color changes. We went outside with the video camera recorded the changing light object for about a half hour. Consequently, I have video tape of the same type of slowly moving, color changing light object in the western and northern sky from two other nights, including last night 11/18. One or more of the people here have seen several others since Sunday 11/12/00 that were not video recorded. We'll be checking tonight, camera ready.

Bright reddish star in La Mesa

This occured as me and my boss were entering work, early in the morning. We stopped and looked at an unusally bright red star in the sky. We commented on it and looked at it for about 10 seconds when we noticed a smaller reddish star looking object appeared to be dropping straight down, very slowly, from the original object. It looked as if it was released from the original star like object. A few seconds after that started happening we hurried into the office. So I do not know what happened next.

Red/Amber Orb falling from the sky.

At 8:00 in the evening, around September 9th, 1993, my younger brother and I witnessed a red/amber orb. I was driving my car, and I saw this orb falling very fast out of the sky. The only object I ever saw falling that fast was a falling star.

Then, in the middle of its fall, it performed about 3-5 horizontal figure eights, and continued its fall-down. I continued to follow it up a hill towards my home. I lost it for about a mile (many trees lined the road).

When I came to the top of the hill, the object was a few hundred feet ahead of us, and hovering above the stoplight.

After hovering for a few seconds, it took off towards the West at tremendous speed.

"Red Orb" followed me to my home...

In approximately April/May/June of 1993, I was heading west on La Mesa Blvd. in my 1984 Isuzu Impulse. I came to stop at a traffic light at the intersection of Jackson Dr. and La Mesa Blvd. (specifically the 8800 block of La Mesa Blvd in La Mesa, California).
As soon as I pulled up to the traffic light, from my driver’s window, I saw a solid red colored “ball” or “Orb”. The object was moving slowly in an easterly direction in the sky not too far from the intersection for which I was stopped. What struck me odd was the object was TOTALLY SILENT and moved in a way I have never seen any aircraft move (30 years later and I still haven’t seen any aircraft move like it). There were no beacon lights of any kind, just a “solid red orb/ball” with an ambient red glow around it. The weather was overcast that night and I vividly remember seeing the red glow of the object light up the adjacent sky around it as it moved. I cannot begin to estimate the object’s speed, but it was moving slowly (as if it was scanning the landscape below it). As I sit in my car in complete awe of the craft, I witness the craft immediately change direction and slowly move itself west and then come to a stop. The change in movement had no momentum to it, in other words, I didn’t any inertia involved. It was utterly fascinating. When the object changed direction from east to west, it almost appeared it was on a “track” in the sky. The craft’s movement were the most precise I have ever seen any object move.
It should be noted that this was an unusual “dead” or quiet night in La Mesa. Meaning, I was the only car at the intersection at the time I saw the craft. For some additional context, La Mesa, CA is a small bedroom community located in San Diego County and is considered to be a part of San Diego’s “East County”, which encompasses cities such as El Cajon, Santee, Lakeside, Alpine and others to the east.
When the object changed course from east to west, it appeared as if it was specifically watching me. I say this because of how the object moved. It just hovered with zero sound and appeared to be observing me as I was observing it. At this point, I don’t believe I was more than a quarter of a mile away from the object, certainly not more than a half mile away.
A short time later, the light turned green, I proceeded west down La Mesa Blvd. At this time, I became spooked. As I begin to accelerate, I noticed that the craft didn’t immediately move. However, shortly after I started to drive down the street, the craft began to move west with me. I came to another very small intersection and the craft stopped with me, the light turned green and as I started to move, the craft also started to move. As I continued down La Mesa Blvd., I came to a street called “Palm Avenue”. I pulled off to the curb and noticed that the object also came to a stop in the sky. I remember just watching it to see if it would move, it didn’t. Close to my home at the time, I decided to just drive home. I made a left turn and proceeded down Palm Ave.
It should be noted that Palm Ave is a very long street. As I drove down Palm and came to its first stop, I noticed that the object hadn’t moved with my car anymore. I continued along Palm and noticed the object in the sky just hovering in the same exact spot. At this point, I remember thinking, “Gee, wouldn’t it be something if the thing was directly over my house?” As I continued down Palm Ave., the object was getting closer or growing bigger as I was driving directly towards it now.
Soon I got to my house and made a left turn on Palm Ave. into my driveway and was absolutely stunned to see the object was DIRECTLY over my house in a straight line! At first, I thought, maybe this was an optical illusion. Soon I would learn that the object was truly directly over my house and had been seemingly waiting for me to arrive.
I immediately ran into my home and grabbed my mom’s VHS camcorder and ran outside and began video recording the object. Now in 1993, camcorders had no semblance of “optical image stabilization” or “optical steady shot” as we have today. I was able to record the craft and even submitted the footage to my local news station. However, the news station told me that the footage was too shaky and unusable.
After about 20 minutes of “hovering” over my home, our neighbors across the street came outside as they wondered what I was looking at in the sky. About 5 or 6 of their family came out on their porch. Not long after, the object slowly moved from my house to my neighbor’s house and hovered over them. The craft hovered over their house about the same time as it did mine, for about 20 minutes. Then the craft began to move to the north in a slow fashion, at the same speed as it followed me. It went a lot higher, and a small cloud passed it and it completely disappeared without a trace. The cloud formation was small, it didn’t just extinguish its light, it appeared to completely disappear.
It should be noted that some of the family is still living from this incident and I keep in contact with one of them. Also, a well-known dentist at the time, Dr. David Hornbrook, also witnessed this object in the sky at the time. Later research revealed that this object may have also been seen directly over Camp Pendleton, the USMC base in San Diego, CA.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 5737
Occurred: 1974-06-14 05:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 1999-02-27 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 2 min
No of observers: 1

Location: La Mesa, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Triangular object with three steady red lights, one on each corner, hovering over Miramar NAS

This sighting occurred sometime around 1974, I am writing this in 1999. I was doing my paper route early one morning in the San Diego area. La Mesa is where I was, this is adjacent to San Diego on the east side. I wasn’t aware of it at the time of the sighting, but there were a rash of UFO sightings in the area for a week or two after this sighting. There are a couple of maps included that show the locations of these events. The intersection of Highland Ave. and Carter Pl. is on the top of a hill. From this vantage point you can see all the way to the coast and up past what was then known as Miramar Naval Air Station. It is a Marine Corp. Base now. I was familiar with the normal flight patterns of commercial aircraft on their approach to Lindbergh Field and military aircraft around Miramar. On this particular morning, and as long ago as this happened I can’t even begin to tell you what day (or year) it was, I had started my paper route a little earlier than usual. It was still dark that morning. As I looked to the NW I saw in the distance a triangular grouping of red lights. They were not blinking, but burning steady. They were banked at a slight angle because I could see all three lights. I thought that this was unusual, but it appeared to be over the MNAS area so I didn’t pay too much mind to it. The altitude may have been around 1000 ft. The intersection I mentioned above is at the top of a hill, there are two short roads that dead-end to the side of Lee Street. I had one or two deliveries on each road. After completing the delivery on the first road (elapsed time may have been 1 min.) I returned to the intersection and glanced out towards the NW again. This time I saw the same triangular pattern of red lights at the same angle but this time they were closer. Still not blinking, just steady. By now I was getting curious so I looked at them for a few seconds. They didn’t seem to be moving much. I went down the second road and delivered the other one or two papers and returned to the intersection to look at the object. Elapsed time was again around a minute. Now it was gone. I sat there for a while looking around to see where it could have gone. From this location I had a good view of the horizon and if this had been a plane on approach to Lindbergh Field I would have seen it for several minutes. It was at this time that I realized that if this object had been a plane I either should have seen it on approach, or I should have heard it as it traveled behind me to the east. My line of sight to the east was obstructed by the hill but I had a good view to the North, West and South. There were several reports of UFO sightings in the news after I had this sighting and it was at this time that I decided that this must have been a UFO as well. I don’t recall all of the details, but one of the most credible sightings during this period was by an older lady who reported seeing a UFO land somewhere in the vicinity her home. Investigators tested the depressions where the object supposedly landed and they calculated a significant weight had been placed there. They ruled out a hoax because of the location of the landing sight and the difficulty of placing that much weight in that location. The weight was somewhere in the several ton range if my memory serves me correctly. That’s the end of that. If anybody recalls anything like this happening I would like to hear from you.

Sighting in La Mesa,CA  

When I was in first grade, walking home from school with friends I ( we) witnessed a saucer in broad daylight. It made no sound and flew very fast. It came from the western area of the city and stopped in mid air above the general area where we were walking. Immediately it flew back to a hill in the western portion of the city. I am not sure if it flew over the hill or landed on it since it was quite aways away. We were dumbfounded and that is something I will never forget!!

Occurred: 1958-12-01 19:15 Local
Reported: 2020-02-15 23:32 Pacific
Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: La Mesa, CA, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

At first we thought it was a falling star. Then we realized it was coming in side ways from the east over the freeway (125) and it was also to close to the ground to be a falling star. This small orb was the size of a softball and moving fast. Color was the same as a green traffic light and when it made it over the freeway it slowed down as if it was going to land. It could not be a drone because it was moving almost as fast as a tracer from a M-4 but then it slowed down.
