Saw a large triangle craft standing on the beach

I saw standing on the beach about 15 feet from the shore line looking out towards the pacific (maybe san clemente or san catalina channel.) Clouds were fairly light but still had some coverage.

I could see orion, to my left (10 o’clock position, probably around 60 degrees.) Above Orion was a bright red star, I believe betelgeuse. To the right of Orion looked like Jupiter with maybe Aldebaran below. Thin clouds had formed vertically around Orion, but still very much visible. Gap of coverage between Orion and Jupiter, Jupiter covered with thin layer of cloud. Saw 3 large, perfectly shaped, aligned, and distanced triangles “gliding”. I could see a large dark triangle silhouette that the lights seemed attached too. There was no sound. The triangles glowed a greenish yellow. Have not seen this color on any aircraft.

The ufo crossed the gap of cloud coverage in seconds. I didn't see it come from the clouds around Jupiter, and saw it briefly behind ( maybe in) the clouds around Orion.

I reported this in CUFOS, but someone posted the video from one of another report - https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=187806 - while the video isn't great, this is exactly what I saw. Spotted in Buenos Aires on 2/18 and I saw it in Laguna Beach a week later.

It was a glowing orb that had rays of light coming from it. It could have been a host of things but just in case I wanted to report.

The orb of light was slanting downward and moving at a slow pace that was too slow to be a shooting star.

2 triangular (like a paper airplane) flying objects

I was driving east on I40 approaching the Laguna exit. I saw 2 VERY bright objects flying low (approximately the height of the cliffs just beyond the town) in the sky. The objects appeared to be reflecting sunlight extremely brightly (the way polished chrome or a mirror, but MUCH brighter). All of their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they were tethered together. They moved in all directions faster than anything I’ve ever seen—up, down, left, right, forward, backwards—and occasionally would sit perfectly motionless in the sky. Eventually, the objects flew to the north so quickly that they were out of sight almost immediately.

Looked up into the mist coming off the ocean and saw a cigar shape siting in the misty sky.

My boyfriend and I were fishing at Laguna Creek on an October Monday. It was really misty that day and all the birds were on the ground, none were in the sky. As I sat in the sand I looked up at the mist coming off the ocean over the cliffs surrounding the besch. When I looked up i saw a standstill cigar shaped like object siting in the sky behind the mist. It was high over the cliff/ocean so to me it was maybe an inch long and had a slight shine to it. It was siting horizontal for about 5 or ten seconds then disappeared in a blink.

Was sitting outside with my dog listening to the nature sounds. Saw a bright light way far out, caught my eye because it seemed a bit bright for an airplane. It seemed to be in a steady flight pattern and once the white light went out it was just a blinking red light. I assumed it was a plane. A minute later I see it again only instead of way out in front of me it was now to the left. This is when I noticed it moving in ways I can't explain. Vertical, horizontal, stationary. Would shine bright white and go back to flashing red. This time it started to get further away. I happened to have my flashlight on me and I started flashing it in it's direction. It then went white and stayed white and came out in plain view to me. It's night and there was no way of making out the shape but I felt like it gave me the time of day for about 10 seconds. It turned green and red then descended in a very dark red out of my line of sight. I'm 35 and this is my first official s! ighting. I've been waiting a long time for a moment like this. Hope others saw this too. Thanks

Saw UFO flying over Ocean while on my deck.

I take pictures of the beach, sunsets, clouds almost every night from my deck in Laguna Beach. In October 26/27th, I saw this orb show up almost out of no where. It hovered around the clouds (NW very close to Catalina Island) right after the sun had set, and was there until it was pitch black, then disappeared. I did not see it disappear as heavy clouds rolled in, but I look every night at the same place and there is no star or planet or anything like that at all there.


((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS))

Hi There,

I wanted to submit a couple photos that I took from My deck in Laguna Beach, California. I take pictures of the beach, sunsets, clouds almost every night from my deck. In october 26/27th I saw this orb show up almost out of no where. It hovered around the clouds (NW very close to catalina) right after the sun had set, and was there until it was pitch black, then disappeared. I did not see it disappear as heavy clouds rolled in, but I look every night at the same place and there is no star or planet or anything like that at all there. Not sure fully what I have here, but if you guys could take a look at my pictures and let me know what you think, id love it!

I will attach photos that are on my Digital camera as well. I will show you some zoomed out, so you can see the scale of everything. I will also send pictures of it zoomed in so you can see what I was seeing up close. On the zoomed out pictures, the ORB in right above the cloud in the middle, you will see it.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your timely response! I am sure of where I was looking becuase I have Catalina Island as my base point. I was looking out 285 degrees W over the Ocean about 1.5 miles out and 1 mile up.

comet like UFO's with shimmery tales over the ocean turning on and off

I was with my friend at a restaurant, overlooking the ocean, sitting outside on a deck. The near full moon was out, and very bright. (Therefore, the UFOs I saw had to be very bright).

I suddenly noticed 2 UFO's on the horizon. They were the color of fire, and looked like comets with very oddly shimmery tales. They were very close inside the atmosphere, like a plane over the horizon. They were flying near to one another, side by side like two fighter jets might be, on slightly higher. They were in the sky for maybe 30 seconds then the lights completely went out. Not more than a couple minutes, and they reappeared in full intensity, and then soon disappeared once more.

Another table was watching dumbfounded. The waiter came by 10 minutes later and as I was relaying the story to him, the two lights appeared again, this time higher up and closer in towards the coast, and again, with the same intensity and appearance. We all stood there, strangers united by mystery, and had that "end of the world movie" type feeling.

Funny side note: I asked the girl I was with to swear that if it was indeed the end of the world, we would agree to go out with a bang. But seriously this was weird.

I have never seen anything quite as strange as this in the sky; how can one explain this? Not meteors, nor falling satellites, nor falling earthly space crafts, because they appeared and reappeared and were side by side in uniform. Not planes because they had this comet like tail. I wonder if anyone else saw this???

4 QUIET BRIGHT RED LIGHTS IN SKY of LAGUNA BEACH - VIDEO ON PHONE

Now this was the strangest thing I've ever seen in the sky....I was at a friend's apartment in Laguna Beach, visiting her for the first time in the area. While speaking to her, I looked up in the sky and saw 4 Bright red lights in a staggered position from one another, moving towards my right somewhat in an average speed, not too fast as I was able to capture a photo and video of the sighting. I could draw it if I had a pen to show you. I asked my friend what those lights were in the sky since she lived in the area. She turns around, looks up and says that she has never seen those lights, all of a sudden, one of them disappeared. They all then changed colors into a star like color. What made it even more strange, there wasn't any sound of these lights in the air, so I then decided to zoom my camera as much as I could to take a photo and snapped a shot.

Afterwards, I took a short video with my phone. You can hear us talking asking what the lights are in th! e video, but not any noise whatsoever in the sky. Then, they just disappeared into thin air......So weird After this strange incident, there is def something other than planet earth life.

You might say I'm drunk or on drugs - but that is real; I don't smoke, nor drink - extremely healthy and I am one of those people who has to, "See It to Believe It." So, this is why I have a video to remember such a thing.

First: Extremely bright white light came into atmosphere over ocean. The object the exploded into a perfect circle of white dust that was equally dense in all areas. The object still remained after the explosion however. It was so bright that it appeared a spotlight was being shown through the dust of the explosion like a helicopter. This lasted only a couple of seconds. The fast movement of the object left a trail of flourescent blue that remained for 30 minutes. After the object passed through the smoke, it went to about 3 feet above the horizon from our standpoint a remained there with two cone like but dusty white things coming from the top and bottom of the object then these went horizontal and remained there for 5 minutes. It then went downwards slowly until it dissapeared. I think I now believe in UFO's that was the weirdest thing I have ever seen.

green laser beam-like light shooting across the Laguna Beach sky.

I don't remember the day, but I guess it's about a week ago, and another guy saw it, too.

I am a security guard, doing my graveyard shift, and I needed to get fresh air...so, I went out of my guard shack, and looked up in the sky, and there it was, an elongated, greenish/yellowish light, kinda like a laser beam, quietly shooting across the sky over the pacific ocean...from east to west. It disappeared as it hit the horizon.

Bright light in sky over ocean moving up and down rapidly...

We were sitting on our third floor patio which faces Newport Coast Drive in Newport Coast, California, and this bright light appeared to shoot up into the sky over the ocean (we guessed Laguna Beach area) and it would drop rapidly down.

Saw red colors on it, and got binoculars and saw many colors like a prism. The light would shoot straight up and then travel a little and shoot down rapidly again.

Guessed airplane, helicopter, but it was too quick to be either..

Two bright orange objects move in synchrony from Pacific coastline heading inland.

UFO Sighting/Laguna Beach , California At 19:57 on Tuesday, September 2013, I looked out my second story apartment window, which faces approximately South/Southwest and is about one quarter mile inland, and somewhat parallel from the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean at Main Beach, Laguna Beach, California. The room was darkened and this observation was made from both a screened window and a pane glass window facing the same direction. I saw what I believe was the planet Venus well above the horizon, but then was immediately startled to observe two very bright, slowly moving orange-colored objects in the sky at a higher level in the sky than the stationary planet. They were about 5 times as bright as the planet and were separated by several degrees. They moved at the same relatively slow rate toward me, then above me, eventually no longer visible as the top of my window obscured them. Their intensity and rate of movement was steady. I attempted to use my cell phone camera to capture a video, but the objects would ! not appear on my screen. By the time I retrieved my better camera, the objects were no longer in my sight. I cannot imagine that others observed these objects also, as they were unusually bright and very "orange". It was very quiet this night, with no detectable breeze, and I heard absolutely no noises accompanying this sighting.

6-7 glowing red lights in the sky over Laguna Beach

About 9:00 PM, I was on my deck in north Laguna Beach and I saw six or seven glowing red balls of light in the sky in an erratic formation over south Laguna Beach or Laguna Niguel. They appeared to be about mile up into the sky and maintained altitude while moving north. A couple of the lights in the middle of the formation appeared to occasionally zig-zag from side to side in a very abnormal fashion. Everything seemed quiet - no aircraft noise. I managed to get one iPhone photo. After about 4 minutes, they vanished as they were still moving northbound. About two minutes after that, a commercial airline flew by, heading southwest (I think).

09/22/2011, Orange County, California, Triangle, 15 minutes. Blinking light headed toward large triangle viewed from Central Orange Co

It was about 7:15 P.M., and ((name deleted)), my husband, and I had just left the assisted living facility Alan’s dad lives. We headed west on El Toro Road, toward Laguna Canyon Road, and we noticed what appeared to be virga below the clouds, rain that was evaporating before it hit the ground.

We turned right, heading north on Laguna Canyon Road, and I couldn’t see the clouds in the western sky that well. Once we got on the 405 freeway, heading north-west, the clouds were again in view before us.

I noticed a blinking light in the sky, headed south, half-way up from the horizon. But something just wasn’t right. It was just one light blinking, not two, as seen on other aircraft. Also, the light was strangely bigger. I happened to look towards the north, then I looked back, no more than two seconds later, and I noticed that the light was suddenly gone. That was strange.

I continued scanning the clouds, looking in the direction where the blinking light had been headed, when a large dark triangle amongst the clouds came caught my attention. The lines were just too straight to be clouds, and it was a muted gray in color. The triangle had no lights, and it didn’t move. I guess it was trying to blend in with the clouds. Unfortunately, ((husband's name deleted)) didn’t see either the blinking light or the large triangle, as he was paying attention to the traffic.

I watched the triangle until we got off the freeway. By then the sky had turned dark.

Appear as if stars, meaning the lights are so far away they appear as tiny lights, like stars, but they are moving radically (incapable for conventional aircraft or space craft) as if in an aerial dog fight.

It looks like some sort of battle or maneuvers.

I only watched for about a half hour or 40-minutes +/- each night (Th. 02/10/11 & F 02/11/11), so the duration could be much longer than just my watch.

UFO sighting in Laguna Beach!

My friend and I were had stopped to get gas at the Chevron in Laguna Beach, Ca on the corner of Legion and Pacific Coast Highway and immediately stopped what we were saying when we saw something up in the sky. It was circular and had lights all around it and was moving around all over the flace quite fast and erradicly and flying pretty low. We thought it disappeared for a minute and then it appeared right above us and I when I looked up I could see that it was silver and had lights circling it and was fairly big. It looked like any cheesy UFO you'd see in a movie and I couldn't believe it was right above us!!! There were about six other people on the sidewalk that saw it too and we were all just staring up in amazement. My friend got scared and wanted to leave, so we drove away before we got to see where it went next. I've never seen anything like this before in my life and there's no way it could be anything else BUT a UFO!!!

I was smoking a cigarette on my balcony across the street from main beach in Laguna Beach when I saw a circular craft with all white lights and one red. At first it looked like it could maybe just be a plane but then shot up down and side to side. It continued to fly around doing the same kind of manuevers for at least 45 minutes. Other people were noticing it and taking pics ect.....

I was looking up at a large hole in a large cloud from a north facing window of my house and within it saw a bright point of white light similar in size to the planet Venus moving East at a speed similar to a light plane. It was behind the cloud briefly but was always visible through the cloud except for a second or two when a dense spot in the cloud obscured it completely. Another identical point of light appeared from behind the cloud trailing the first point of light at about a 2" distance at arms length. There was no relative motion of the two points. I noticed a third point of light trailing the second by 2" at arms length, but this point of light was definitely below the cloud and a light greenish blue in color, similar to an airport beacon. The three points of light slowed and drew closer together, forming an equalateral triangle. They stopped completely, but at that point the cloud blew between myself and the objects and I could no longer see them. The motion of the objects was opposite the motion of the cloud, and the clouds were at the 5000 foot level. Assuming the objects were at cloud level, the triangle formation would have occurred approximately between Thurston Middle School and the large S curve in highway 133. John Wayne airport is approximately 10 miles North from that location.

I saw an object in the sky and automatically dismissed it as an aircraft but after watching the item not move with multiple colors: Blue, red, yellow, orange and white and when it did desend it would turn orange to yellow stay in the current position for about a two minutes then arrise back to the original location it would display the multiple colors of blue, red, yellow, orange and white these motions happend for about half an hour, then with the object decended it would move to the right about 4" to the right (estimated) then it would elivate to a high point in the sky. Then every now and then the lights would stop (as far as I could see) for a split second.

The last time I saw is was when it floated at the bottom displaying yellowish/white light and then the light started to weaken until the item was gone or no longer visable.

Location: Laguna Beach-Newport Beach border, CA, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Electrical or magnetic effects

The very white and bright diamond shaped object moved almost perfectly perpendicular, towards the water, off-shore, at a fast pace.

It was 10:45 pm (22:45 military time) on Sat., Nove. 6th. I was driving north on PCH, coming home from work. I sawe a white bright light, bright like reflcted snow, come down at almost a complete perpendicular drop. It appeared 100-200 meters above the beach level. It was the whitest light I have ever seen. It appeared small, diamond shaped, with a small tail. What could have been around 1-2 football fields in length from the ground, was a sudden disapearance of the object. It was moving at a speed that no man made object could move (I believe), being so close to the water. I had my windows up and music lightly playing, but I heard no crash of a landing or saw no impact into the ocean or beach. I advise someone ASAP to search the water off-shore for anything unusual. As soon as the object disapeared, the "check engine" light on my car came on, but my engine did not fail to stop. After careful thought, I ruled out the posibilities of what it could be : not an astroid/meteor, no fireworks, not a plane or a helicoptor. I was about 30-40 miles away from camp Pendleton, but I have never heard of anything from that army base ever - EVER - leave north and become visible to any civilians. What I saw was no hallucination, I was not under the influence of any illegal substance, was not tired, and was sober and sane. I just hope that this report does not go unnoticed for any more than a day or so after I give it, because most likely any government official/organization will do what they can to erase the evidense within hours or days. This can be something big.

No of observers: 7

Location: Laguna Beach, CA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted beams, Landed

I usually jog around Laguna Beach in the morning, when all of a sudden I noticed a blinding blue light. As it came closer I noticed it was in the shape of a saucer. Once it landed, everything went blank, and when I woke up I had a severe pain in my head, probably from getting knocked out.

The ufo was in the shape of a saucer, had a blinding blue light coming out from the bottom and sides. The beams were scanning us from the bottom of the craft. It landed slowly, and then everything went blank.

1993 Observation of object moving at extreme angles and speed off Catalina Island

I saw you on TV. I have only told 3 people this story. I saw what I saw as clear as the laptop i am looking at right now. Absolutely no mystery to me. I could care less if people believe me but after seeing you i thought a valid sighting was worth recording with someone. I don't tell anyone about it because they would think me odd.

My name is . I am a 41 yr old business owner now living in Santa Barbara, CA.

In October of 1993 Orange Couty CA was ravaged by fires.Hundreds of homes in Laguna Beach CA burned to the ground. 400 approx. Hundreds of other homes burned in the area as well. Orange County was on fire. I mention this because it seems a rather significant event that may have caused some interest to something.

We owned a wonderful oceanview home in the exclusive gated community of Emerald Bay. Our home burned down that month, October 23rd I recall. With all we had left being a lot full of ash we would come from our rented home to walk on the beautiful private beach of Emerald Bay.

On approx Dec 15, 1993 there had been light rains that day and the clouds were light, and very high, but mostly it was clear. We were walking down the beach for about 15 minutes towards the north. The bay is about one mile long from end to end. When we walked to the North end we turned around and walked back to the center to watch the sun go down. The visibility was fantastic, we could clearly see the Island of Catalina and beyond.

After the sun actually set over the horizon we got up and started to walk back towards our car when I looked strait out, over the ocean, to the south of Catalina perhaps 15-20 degrees up from the ocean horizon.

We witnessed an object in the air that had the sun still reflecting off it. No blinking light. It looked round or oval, i think metalic in it's reflection. At first it just stayed there, for about 3 or 4 seconds. We both thought, plane, and were about to look away. It seemed like a far away plane was having the sun reflecting off it. Just before looking away the darn thing shot off at an extreme angle and stopped! This thing moved so fast all we saw was a blur.

It stayed in that position for maybe 2 seconds and shot off again at an extreme angle to another position. OK, now it had our ATTENTION. I looked at my wife and said "Does anything we have move like that?". We watched this thing for about 40 seconds or so. It did about 7 angled moves before shooting off again at an extreme angle only to not be seen again. It appeared to be farther out than Catalina, more than 20 miles out at least.

I am an extremely skeptical person. Nothing I know of could move like that, take the g forces.

That is my story for what it is worth. I will say this. I absolutely believe that object was not of this earth, I saw it, would swear by it, take a polygraph, etc. I also definately believe in what I saw. I only wish I could have filmed it.

Can anyone tell me what can move like that? Since this time I have become an amateur astronomer and though I know I will probably never see something like this again I have become very interested in all subjects having to do with our universe. Esp. observing deep sky objects.

My equipment includes a 25" Newtonian and my hobby has close to $30,000 in equip. to give you some idea of how interested I have become.

Occurred: 1986-11-21 18:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2006-12-17 17:58 Pacific
Duration: 6 min.
No of observers: 1

Location: North Laguna Beach, CA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Electrical or magnetic effects

Pie pan bottom; disc top craft played with the airspace above Irvine ranch reveiling displacement of matter.

Driving S/B on CA 1, sunset at 100degrees over my right shoulder, just at the N.Laguna beach across from the Irvine ranch open range, above the far hills to the S.E. I noticed a spot of black growing larger until it was directly above the trees of the hilltops I could see from the S/B right lane. I thought it might be a helicoper ranching, but it was not. It was metallic silver and panshaped on the bottom rounded top disc. No lights that i noticed in the sunshine reflecting off of it; it was very clearly a disc. When above the treeline it seemed to force the trees to bend away from the craft as it approched and the tree tops just brushed underneith lower at center and finally swayed when the tops left the area around the ship. As if the ship had a strong and large area of space that displaced the matter of our world. This effect was at least as wide as the entire ship and maybe as much as 2 X the width of the ships appearance. It seemed to be heading directly toward me after it's traversing the hilltop in a N.W. travel that was aproxamately 3 miles distance and from where i was 2 miles away toward the N.E. When it was directly East it traveled toward the Sun right over my moving vehicle. Before it got to the road it filled my windshild by about 15 percent so it was very close and slowed hovering there. I thought to myself and to anyone capable of perceiving my thoughts these words/thoughts. "I will never belive what I am seeing if You do not do something out of the ordinary with your craft. Please, show me a manuver other than this to be sure I understand You wish me to see this." At that momment the ship moved to flatten the bottom of the craft so that I could witness the entire bottom of the pie pan shape exposed flatly and now encompassing 1/4 of the windshield. It was round perfectly circular with the lower flat portion appearing as a smaller circle inside it. It proceeded to float like a leaf falling from a tree, with a regular back and forth flutter of side to side fl! ipping m otion without changing it's slow steady pace or speed Westward over the car which suddenly affected the radio transmission as a white noise garble, and causing a bit of a studder to the sound of the engine of the car. The car did not stop, but i was slowed to about 40mph from a 70mph pace by this time. I noticed the disc in my window as a speck in the rear right side window traveling under the sun toward the horizon exactly to the West out to the Pacific Ocean and disappeared from sight in about 2 seconds from the passing above the roof of my automobile out of my sight to the resighting of it toward its' vanishing point in the Western distance.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 15777
Occurred: 1973-09-15 02:00 Local - Approximate

Location: Laguna Beach, CA, USA

Shape:
Characteristics: Lights on object

Saw a UFO near Coast Highway in South Laguna Beach, Solana Way.

I was living by the coast in Laguna Beach Ca. I woke up to an "instant awake" and looked out over the ocean and saw some fast moving lights in the distance that just stopped, turned and then started heading toward where I was. I sensed it was heading toward me so I ran into my roomates room to wake him up. The next memory I had was standing outside looking up at the bottom of a craft from about 15 feet. I can still hear the sound of the engine as it moved away slowly. My roomate was standing in the doorway and looked frightened. At the time I called the Air Force Station and they suggested I report it to a UFO "club" or something. I called and they sent someone out, but I never filled out the form. They had told me that I would get a pin or something and become an "Official" member. I was not interested in that. The interviewer was weird. I did, however see a report in the paper, Orange County Register, the day after that a number of people had reported seeing a UFO from Los Angeles to San Diego. (Laguna is in the middle). Years later I went back to get a copy of the article, but left it behind after a divorce.



((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION FROM WITNESS))

Hi,

I made an entry dated September 1973 in Laguna Beach California. At the time, I saw an article the following day in the Santa Ana Register that many others had spotted UFOs in that sky that evening. For fun, I called the library a few weeks ago and they found the article and it is Dated October 24, 1973. I had put down September 1 as I knew it was sometime around then when I was living there. I do not know if the actual date is important, if so, could you change it? Also, would you like to have a
copy of the newspaper article? Also, while searching for the one I had remembered seeing, they found another dated October 18th about a man that had been frightened and reported seeing a UFO to
police. They are sending me that article as well. The librarian said that they had also come across an article from 1991 making reference to a number of sightings made in Orange County in 1973.

Occurred: 1963-06-01 20:00 Local
Reported: 1997-07-05 00:00 Pacific
Duration: several minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Laguna Beach (south), CA, USA

Shape: Light


Summary : USO(s) - Unidentified Submerged Object(s) -- yeh! I know guys! You probably only care about lights in the sky! But hey I'm not the only one that saw it! Although the other guy doesn't know I exist.

It was around June? of 1964. Best man preparing bridal suite. I finished and went for a walk on the sand. A long wooden stair case led down the cliffs to the beach and the waves appeared to be in the cliffs' shadow from Highway 1 headlights. I saw a series of lights glowing from behind the waves about 5 ? feet apart and 8 ? inches in diameter. It/they gave the appearance of portholes on the side of a submersible. I have no explanation. When they interviewed a CA lighthouse keeper on the radio (his station was becoming automated - and you had to walk through a tunnel to reach it) and asked him if in all of his years of watching the surf he had seen anything strange - he reported seeing the same thing -- with no idea what it could be!
