Intelligently guided stretch flight flies over La Puente, October 21 1:45 PM

At approximately 1:45 PM Pacific time, I observed a stretched light traveling from north to south ((sic. South to north. Corrected by witness.)) over the city of La Puente.

I was pulling out of the parking lot when I first saw the disc-like shape, it did not appear to be traveling at a high speed but as I drove forward, it began to move in the direction of where the sun was. I am assuming because it noticed that I had seen it and it knew it would make it difficult for me to see it next to the sun.

I yelled to two people next to me to look up and see it. They said they didn't see anything at first, so I yelled, "Block the sun!" He proceeded to block the sun with his right hand, and with his left hand just gesturing to something floating near the sun on the right top corner. I also had confirmation from a ((deleted--beverage)) delivery man delivering to the corner store where I was exiting. Once we were all looking at it it appeared to fly directly over us and as it passed us it was moving northbound towards the Azuza Canyons. '

The entire thing lasted about four minutes, and as I drove away to try to reach my house, I also told people on the road to look up and they also saw what I saw. By time I made it home it was gone. There was a total of five witnesses.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be an eloquent and serious-minded individual. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Bright White Pulsating Light/Orb over La Puente residence.

4 of us were outside in the backyard having a cigarette, it was already late between 11pm and 12am. My back to was to the sky, but not only did I see the flash of light illuminate everything around me, but I felt the pulse of the light. It pulsed about 5 times before disappearing completely. We are all frozen during the duration of the light, except for one of us who was actually right underneath it. He saw the oval orb of light with a metal lining. He described it being as big as a bus and right over head. White light pulsing, and flashes the same as a camera flash. Since he was exposed directly to it, he then felt a burning sensation throughout his spine the rest of the night, until the next morning. During the course of the light, he was the only able to move, as he ran into the house screaming at us to go inside. We all ignored him, and as soon as the lights disappeared, we all got up in unison and walked out to the yard. The night was deafening silent!

About 5 min later, the music of the nearby parties picked up again, and everything was back to normal.

Neon light across night sky

Object was neon like ranging from red purple and blue. Always a solid color before transitioning to another color.

No flashing lights near or on object. Could not determine shape of object. Very briefly the light multiplied into many lights. The only way I can describe that brief moment is it was like there was a diamond in sky and the object flew right behind it.

Object traveled in sky very erratically. Object reacted to helicopter flying by. Object traveled very fast in a downward motion.

As soon as helicopter passed, the object turned blue again and continued flying erratically.

Hovering light seen over La Puente

I had just returned home around 8:30 pm and once I got settled I went outside to feed my dogs. As I was feeding them I noticed a very bright light that resembled a star sitting just west of my house. I jokingly called out to my brother, “hey check it out the star of Bethlehem is over the house!” When he came outside to see it we were discussing what it could be, possibly a planet or a large star when the object slowly started to move. I quickly pulled out my phone and started recording for almost a full minute. I have a good smart phone and I began to review the video I had just taken while the object continued at a snails pace in a northeast direction. The video was completely black sky, which I found to be unusual considering how large and bright the object was. The object then began to pick up speed and in my frustration I snapped a photo since my video was less than remarkable.

We continued to watch it fly and as a helicopter approached from the east heading west (the object was very high compared to the position of the helicopter) the object quickly dimmed its light. It could still be seen as a tiny speck of light which quickly disappeared in seconds.

My brother and I were still talking about how strange it was when I remembered that I had taken a picture. At first glance it looked like I had gotten nothing, but when I zoomed in and cropped the picture several times there is definitely something there. It is the object we had observed; only the picture captured the object differently than we had seen with our eyes. We had seen it as a very large bright light and in the picture it kind of looks like a grey glow worm with eyes.

There are always airplanes that fly over the house but this was not an airplane or helicopter or anything I’ve seen relative to our technological capabilities. I’m not sure how long it had been stationary prior to me going outside and spotting it but it definitely was something remarkable that my brother and I won’t soon forget….

Bright orange object hovering over incoming air traffic.

I was taking out some trash at night when I looked to the eastern sky (towards the Inland Empire) and observed an unusual orange ball of light hovering in a stationary position high above incoming air traffic headed towards LAX.

About 15 seconds after, this orange ball of light slowly begins to ascend to a greater altitude then stops to a still position for 20 seconds(like a bright star in the sky), then the object slowly comes back down to its original position (from when I first noticed it), all of a sudden this orange light gets brighter then dims down to a deep red color then turns black and disappears from the night sky.

glowing red light seen over La Puente, CA

At approximately 9:20 pm (Pacific Time), I walked outside of the building I work in to secure some items in my car. When I finished I turned facing west and I noticed a large unusually bright red glowing light just across the street over some buildings. At first I thought it was an airplane light since the air traffic around here is pretty steady. I quickly realized this was no plane; the light was extraordinarily bright, never flickered and seemed to be rapidly approaching me. It was coming eastbound very quickly and it was very low. I began to run towards it across the parking lot to try to make out what it was but the light was so bright that’s all I could see.

When I first saw the object it was a ball of light but as it came closer I saw it in its profile and it appeared as a long continuous red glowing cigar shape. It was only about a football field away from me to my left and it was flying over the train yard located across from valley blvd. I then noticed a helicopter flying westbound (I believe it was an Industry Sheriff helicopter) and the object quickly shrank back into a ball shape. It was as if the object was playing chicken with the helicopter, I almost thought they were going to collide or that the object would attack because it was so low.

As the helicopter and object passed each other, the object flew over the helicopter and was probably less than 30 meters above it from my estimation, the object threw out a red almost force field like crescent moon shaped illumination towards its front end. It completely lit the sky up around it and in doing so it revealed itself. It seemed like a ball of mercury, it was silverish and perfectly round. The light shown for a few seconds and quickly faded into nothing although I could still see the circular object, as if it were driving with the lights out and there seemed to be very small electrical charges going off in front of it and I literally watched it fade into nothing.

I bet anything that the pilots in that chopper saw it too; there is no way they couldn’t have. It was heading right for them and when it threw that red field out I know it illuminated the inside of their chopper. So unreal I'm still in complete awe…

I experienced a UFO sighting on November 29th,2010 around 8:30 pm I went outside to get something from my grandma's van and I see about 3 or 4 orange lights moving slowly and I got binoculars and I did not see any thing that looked like a plane I did see a metal "Shine" though and I strongly believe that this is a legitimate UFO sighting.

OVAL OBJECT WITH ELECTRIC BLUE LIGHTS FLY'S OVER LA PUENTE

I WAS OUTSIDE HANGING UP A SHEET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, AND FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE I SEEN AN OBJECT THAT WAS GLOWING AND AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A SHOOTING STAR OR A COMET. I LOOKED UP AT THE OBJECT AND I SEEN AN OVAL OBJECT WITH CIRCLE AND SQUARE SHAPED WINDOWS THAT WERE DIMLY GLOWING. THE GLOW WAS AN ELECTRIC BLUE. IT WAS FLYING AT A FAST SPEED, TO FAST FOR A PLANE. IT MADE NO SOUND WHAT SO EVER. AS IT MOVED, I LOST SIGHT OF IT BECAUSE MY HOUSE WAS BLOCKING MY VIEW SO I WENT TO THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE ALMOST INSTANTLY TO MAYBE SEE THE OBJECT AGAIN BUT IT WAS NO LONGER THERE. IT JUST DISSAPEARED.

UFO over the San Gabriel Valley

I was out walking my dog and at about 9:30P.M. when I saw the red light in the sky. It did not move like an ordinary airplane you see over Los Angeles, rather it moved like something I have never seen before. I saw the object move very slowly and it never got close nor did it move away like a normal plane would. I called out my parents to see if they could see what I was seeing and they also saw what i was seeing. By this time the object was moving in strange patterns. All these movements occured in the west to the north west parts of the sky. I saw it move very quikly to the left, right, up, down, inward, outward, and In circular motions. At one point my mother and I were able to see the shape of the craft, which was similar to a boomerang. The red light was centered in the middle area of the craft. We did have binoculars to see this object and this helped out in viewing it. My parents went inside the house after observing it for a while, but I stayed out and saw it linger there for quite a while. As i watched it, my neighboor had just arrived home and I told her if she could see the same thing. She wanted to go inside her house after a long day, but she stood out for a few moments to observe this craft. We looked at it together and it did some king of loop-de-loop action then it dipped down and dissapeared from sight at approximaetly 10:20 P.M. The duration of the sighting was for 50 min.

Summary : From a stand-still... to a one-second period of ignition... followed by one-second of what sounded like the after-burner of a massive- powered jet... then, silence.

appologies for the un-sure-of exact date. This could have been a few months prior to the date stated above, or a few moths after. It was approximately 3:00am and myself, and two friends (brothers) were standing in front yard, talking before two of us departed to our homes. All of a sudden, a noise sounded from the sky...a very solid-like sound which resembled that of a clothes dryer starting its first turn or two of the drum... but much, much more powerful and solid and what seemed like would be extremely loud...however, was shelled-like...retained to paremeters. This sound was approximately one-second in length. Following this sound (as in sequence of process) was what sounded like a jets exhaust...however, much more determined-soundinding, and of much more power. The duration of this sound was also approximately one-second. Reactions of all three of us were the same... which was turning our heads up to look in the direction of where these sounds came from and went to. All three of our opinions of the directions were within the South to Southeast direction (in the sky) from where first started and took-off in the directoin of the sounds and headed in the direction (opinions) varying) somewhere in the South to South West direction. I describe it as this> Something was sitting in a dead-standstill position...in the sky and, was able to "start" (whatever it is that was started) and accelerate to speeds that enabled them to disappear (so-to- speak).

Four large luminous disks arranged like the engines of a 4-engine plane flew north to south at low altitude and silently.

The date and time may be very inaccurate; the incident occurred several years ago here, where we've lived for 10 years, perhaps in November, since we were looking for meteors at the time of one of the showers. I didn't report it at the time, thinking that, somehow, it must be an airplane, but since then I've described it to several aviators and never found one who could make sense of it. I'm less interested in getting it into the record than in hearing a plausible explanation, if there is one, so I will accept a collect call. In case my wife or a child doesn't understand the call, and refuses, please try again. I'm at home evenings. My wife and two of my children saw the object as much as I did, but my wife is not a native speaker, while my children remember the incident but very little about it. We were sitting in the back yard. The sky was clear, except a small cloud formation in the north. The object flew in a straight line from north to south, at low altitude, apparently, and it was absolutely silent. I'm hard of hearing, but wife and kids said that it made no sound that they could detect. What we actually saw was four large luminous disks, all the same size, with an appearance similar to fluorescent lamps behind circular plastic shields. They were quite bright but not dazzling. Each was a good deal larger than the full moon. They were facing downward. They were in a formation as if they were in the same positions as the engines on a 4-engine airplane with a somewhat swept-back wing, and the distance from the leftmost disk to the rightmost was about the distance from tip of thumb to tip of little finger if the hand is held at arm's length with fingers spread as much as possible. We did not see a wing, body, or anything other than the disks, and I figured this was because we didn't have the time or presence of mind to see them, but I saw two of the disks shift slightly and quickly relative to each other - wife and kids said later that they didn't see that. This "airplane" flew at a go! od clip from north to south, about what I'd expect of a 4-engine airplane at that altitude; I should say, "all deliberate speed." There were no navigation lights, landing lights, or anything of that nature. I am sure it wasn't a blimp or dirigible, and I can't see it being a glider, since I have trouble believing that a glider could fly with large disks under its wings, and I'd think such a stunt would be extremely dangerous at night, even if it could fly. Besides, I've never seen a glider around here. I really would appreciate it if you could offer me an explanation for what we saw.

Space craft with an alien being standing on top

My sister (17) and I (14) went outside and stopped short when we saw a figure standing on top of a space craft staring at us as it hovered across the street on our cul-de-sac. It appeared human with arms out stretched as if holding onto ropes but there was nothing. It was beige/salmon colored and had 2 black shaped eyes but no other distinctions. It stood staring at us which seemed forever but I’m sure was 10-12 seconds, then it came forward and zoomed across Puente Ave, and disappeared in thin air. No trail or trace. Equally as strange we weren’t scared, never told our parents or anyone else until we were in our twenties.

3 triangle lights racing across the sky playing "tag" for approximately five minutes, then went straight up in the sky out of sight

This sighting occured in the summer of 1966 at around 9:00 pm, the exact date unknown. The sky wasn't completely black, but some stars were visible. We were living on Richford Avenue in La Puente, California. The sun had just set about a half an hour before. It was very hot that day. I was 14. My Mother was in the backyard swimming alone in our doughboy pool. I was inside of our house and heard her screaming. I ran outside thinking she was drowning and she was pointing up in the northeastern sky screaming "LOOK!" I looked up and saw 3 triangle lights that appeared to be about the size of a quarter to the naked eye. One was a little bit larger than the other two. I am not good at judging distance, but they were very high in the sky, at least a mile I would guess. They appeared to be playing "tag" in the sky. They were white. The larger of the two raced across the sky vertically and stopped, and the other two would follow. The speed was unbelievable. They went back and forth, up and down for nearly five (5) minutes. This was over 30 years ago and our technology did not have the ability to dart completely across the sky, hover and then dart the opposite direction and stop again, defying inertia. After they finished playing tag, all three went straight up in the sky until they were out of sight. There was no sound. They were perfectly quiet. I will never forget this, it is etched in my mind forever. That memory is as clear in my mind today as it was 30 some years ago. I called the police department to report it but they told me that I had to have been mistaken. It made me feel very afraid to say anything since that time. It is something my Mother and I only told our family about and kept it to a very close circle of friends, but I have always wondered if anyone else saw it. I am a professional person and have worked in law since I was 16 years old. If only we had computers back then to track things as we do now. Thank you for this website. I have waited over 30 years to be able ! to tell someone that might listen.
