While driving I noticed a strange object in the sky, when I pulled over to get a better look it seemed to shift and then disappeared.

While driving I noticed a strange object in the sky, like two dark vertical lines that seemed to have nothing between them at first glance but then I noticed kind of a shimmery iridescent quality to the empty space. I couldn’t make sense of what it was - first I thought it was like a strange flock of geese in two parallel lines rather than a V, but then once I noticed the iridescence I thought it was maybe a balloon, but I had an extremely difficult time getting a sense of scale. I pulled my car over because I wanted to take a picture to send to a friend I was on the phone with but trees were obscuring my view. As I pulled forward more and I saw it between the trees again the shape had changed, it was much smaller and I think the lines were shorter? It was just much less defined than it had been a second or two earlier. Just seconds later when the trees were out of the way it was completely gone. I drove in a couple circles trying to see from different angles but there was nothing.

4 Orange fire Orbs in the Sky

I stepped outside to have a cigarette with my girlfriend and she said what is that light in the sky? It appeared to be an orange fire orb, circle in shape with no flashing lights and completely silent unlike a plane. Best way I can describe was almost like a low pulsing circle flame. The cloud layer was super thick and a break in the cloud allowed for this low flying fire orb to come through the cloud from the direction of the ocean and head northeast.

The fireball flew what appeared to be extremely low, lower then any plane and then appeared to speed up and continue below the clouds for apprx one min and them disappeared off in the distance. I only say disappeared because the flame went out making the orb no longer visible.

Approximately 30 seconds later another fire orb appeared at same altitude but much faster across the sky, them 2 more fire orbs back to back with the same altitude equally spaced apart came across the sky. All four came from the same direction and had the same exact formation as the previous fire orb, I have never seen anything like that. Complete silence with a bright light in the sky visible and then just disappeared as if the fire flame was turned off. At first I chalked it up to a flare from a military plane but the more i thought about I realized that flares don't follow each other back to back across the sky in the same formation and exact same direction.

the sighting was aprox 1 hour ago and I am still a little startled and excited. I just picked up my wife from work and was heading home from Aliso Viejo to Laguna Niguel. Driving a Toyota pick up with my wife in the passenger seat and my 11 year old son in the rear seat behind my wife heading south west on Alicia Ave I spotted what appeared to be a small aircraft with a bright light shining from behind the aircraft moving at a slow speed. I figured it was a helicopter and asked my wife to look at it. her response was surprising. She had a better view of the object and became very startled at what she was seeing. the object began to take a crescent pattern and then went dark. The three of us where puzzled at what we just observed and was discussing what we had just seen. the object then re-appeared in a different location bigger and brighter than before it then flew in the sky and justed stopped. at that point it shined a light from it much like a police helicopter but the light did not reach the ground. the light shined and stopped about 20 meters behind it. at that point a "cloud" formed around it that had a green color to it. the object stopped moving and the light dimmed and the cloud disappeared but didn't disapate. The news is already reporting that it was a missile test out of Edwards. NO WAY WAS THAT A MISSILE TEST! I have seen my share of missile test and that was no missile test.

UFO facing Flight Plane Pilots towards John Wayne Airport Orange County CA

I was sky watching on June 29 in the morning with binoculars & calibrated the zoom when an airplane passed by. I then saw an orb pass the plane & followed it until it was gone. I thought since I saw this one, maybe there's a decent chance I'll see another if I hike up the hill near where I live & bring the video recorder.

I was up there for a few hours & saw one other orb that was larger, slower & I believe closer for a short time. I took some videos of planes passing & there really wasn't anything very exciting. Then again, I could hardly see the screen in daylight, even with something I brought to cover my head with the screen. I wrapped it up & went home.

Then dropped the footage in a video editor. I viewed a short clip of a plane in the distance that was a bit shaky & short, I was about to hit the delete button, then thought first I'd zoom in on the plane first. I'm glad I did wow. I saw an object facing the pilots in flight, but then thought it might be a speck on the lens or screen.

So I continued looking frame by frame & the object was still there. When I toggled through the frames, the object appeared to be blinking.

I was still not convinced because it was faint. But then, on ONE particular frame, the object got very bright & much larger with some detail. My jaw literally dropped, I gasped & covered my mouth.

I submitted it on a popular video site. I show it in the editor including placing some textures to show it & some frame by frames. It's quite amazing.

I thought this could be quite a big deal since the Malaysia flight 370 disappearance.

Also, while I was editing the video, I was listening to KFI radio & they announced that there was an "accidental chute deployment" which was causing the plane to have to be diverted from going to John Wayne Airport, which is where this plane & UFO were headed.

When you view the footage, clearly there is no way the pilots didn't see what was right in f! ront of them. So maybe we got this on radar?

At least at the ! very minimum, the pilots MUST have told the control tower what they were seeing.

Maybe that flight diversion was on purpose to avoid a danger like what happened to the Malaysia plane?

Four unmoving orange spheres sighted over Orange County, CA.

We live on a hill with about 200 degrees visibility of unobstructed skyline from the mountains to the ocean.

On June 18, 2014, I went to bed at 8 pm with a headache. I looked out the window and saw a bright orange light in the sky, which at first glance I assumed to be the moonrise, a bit south of east.

I realized the light wasn't as large as the moon. I then thought I was looking at a plane flying in my direction, since it appeared not to move. But it was a single large orange light, not the multiple white and/or red lights of a plane. After about a minute of bright stillness, it seemed to collapse in on itself and disappear.

It was odd, but I thought maybe it was a weird reflection, or projection or a helicopter. I dismissed it and fell asleep. I'm an artist, with a vivid imagination, and so didn't take the sighting seriously.

At 1030 pm, I woke up and looked out the window. To my surprise, the same light was there again. My husband walked into the room and I asked him to verify what I was seeing. He agreed that it looked like an incredibly bright, fiery, unmoving orange ball and was nothing he'd seen before. A software engineer by trade, he is also unrelentingly logical.

As we watched, another orange light appeared to the north of the first. A few seconds later, the first light went out. I got up and got my binoculars and looked at the object. I couldn't see much detail--it was a large ball of fire, unmoving, with smoke trails.

My husband looked through the binoculars and saw the same thing--an unmoving fiery ball with smoke trails. He took a video with his iPhone, showing one light going out after another has appeared, but the video doesn't portray well the size, brightness or orange color of the lights.

A third light appeared further to the north and the second light went out. When the third light went out, no other lights appeared and we went to sleep.

There is a military base about forty miles to the southeast of us, so our assumption is that it is unknown military tech, but we have no expertise in this regard.

Three Orange Spheres in a Rectangular Cluster with a Pulsating Sphere on the Right Side

My sister and I were walking our dog. It was a clear crystal night with no clouds in the sky. There was a cluster of three orange spheres in a rectangular shape. These spheres remained in a hovering position. The spheres were very close together and maintained a hazy appearance. On the right portion of the rectangle, there was a pulsating sphere.

We went to go show our friend and not even two minutes later, coming back to the exact same spot, the lights were gone.

Two bright reddish orange lights moving slowly over Laguna Niguel

I saw two reddish orange objects moving slowly in what could described as floating flares in the night sky at an angle of about 45 degrees viewing angle looking to the north of my position. I couldnt tell the altitude or distance from my position. For a brief time I thought I saw what appeared to be an aircraft flying close to the objects. The aircraft had standard navigation lights and flew near the objects for about two minutes after which it flew away towards the west.

The two objects moved very slowly in concert with one another then they moved apart. One of the objects then flickered and appeared to float downwards. The other object flickered about 1 minute later then it moved towards the west before what appeared to be a flameout. In all, I watched the scenario for about 7 or 8 minutes.

Silver ball in California's Sky.

I was lying by my pool looking up, not able to take a nap, just kept looking up, clouds passing byand it was rather enertaining as I very seldom look up, I saw planes go by some left a trail others did not.

Then I noticed the silver ball going by very slowly across the clouded sky from one extreme to the other {Left to Right } it stopped twice and then in continued its linear trayectory, I even took a picture with my mobile phone thinking it wouldn't come out but when I enhanced it on my lap top there it was.

I know about you from C2CAM and I thought I report this.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

Bright object / orb performs aerial gymnastics over pacific ocean before performing disappearing act into the water close to coast.

At ~1750 hours on 01/14/12, I was looking due south out toward the ocean and saw a bright light / orb out over the horizon at approximately ten degrees elevation. It was roughly similar in brightness and size as the planet Venus appeared at that time. Visibility was good as I could see San Clemente island and the sun had recently set.

The object was moving at significant speed from left to right and with a motion like a gentle sine wave for what I'd estimate was several hundred miles. It abruptly corkscrewed downward toward the point at which the water met the horizon and appeared to skate across the top of the water still out near the horizon. It then began to move toward my location/the coast "skating" across the top of the water with the same gentle sine wave motion only back and forth laterally now rather than vertically as before.

The orb appeared to get very close to the beach and then turned around and headed back out toward the horizon and began to gain altitude. It returned to something near its original altitude and near where I first observed it out over the horizon. It again executed a helical / corkscrew turn down to the water and approached the coast again where it appeared to vanish into the ocean approximately one mile or less offshore.

The duration of the entire event was approximately one minute and was viewed by myself and one witness standing next to me. I have been a resident of Southern California my entire life and am quite familiar with the view over the ocean during the day and at night, local military bases, airports, etc. I have never seen anything remotely resembling this in my life except for what I've seen on "UFO" specials on the television. The object / craft appeared to move as though it was under intelligent control and exhibited flight characteristics unlike any craft I've ever seen or heard of.

Four Glowing Orbs

I was standing in my backyard which is on a hill and overlooks the valley and then more hills to the south. Hovering right above the tree tops on the hill to the south were four large glowing orbs that were golden in color and completely silent. I could not stop looking at them, like I was drawn to them. I walked to the furthest spot in the backyard never taking my eyes off of them. As I reached that spot they began to descend slowly below the tree tops until I could no longer see them. I want to know what they were.

Orange Orbs in Orange County

I was driving down Niguel Road in Laguna Niguel, California at 11:34pm. As I was driving, I witnessed 4 large orange orbs in formation floating up in the sky off in the distance. I slowed my car to get a good look. The formation appeared to be stationary. I returned to the same location where I made the initial observation in 6 minutes later, but they had vanished.

Laguna Niguel CA 3 lights moving from same point on the horizon to differnt points in space.

My wife and I where sitting out side on our balcony facing south next the the 73 toll road in southern orange county in southern California it is a clear night and we just talked about looking at the meteor shower tonight with an expected peek around 1:00am 11/19/2004 PST. I was the first one to see them and told my wife to quick come over and look at what I see. We saw three very fast moving lights when we first saw them they looks like they started at the same point on the horizon moving in a erratic (from left to right and up and down while moving north to North east and out away from earth pattern they looked like they came from the pacific down south of us and was moving from left to right and the two lights on the left took turns taking the lead and the 3rd light moved more to the south east and out and as the other two went more north and out I say they went out because the lights looks like they got smaller but still did not move in a straight line within 4 minutes the lights seemed to fade into the background of space. My wife and I were so freaked out we came inside to turn on the TV.

Gray-silver disk moving to the East-SE slowly above tree level rotating from vertical to horizontal

My four year said, "Look, Mommy, a flying saucer!". I looked up to the North, approximately 10 degrees above the horizon and saw a medium to dark gray disk. It appeared to be approximately 1/4 mile up and a few miles away. It rotated from horizontal to vertical, occasionally flipping over slowly, completing a 360 rotation, returning to a horizontal (upright?) position. It moved slowly and steadily in an East-Southeast direction. While rotating to a vertical position, it reflected the sunlight and flashed a brilliant silver and gold metallic color. When it was horizontal (and all angles between horizontal and vertical) it again returned to a muted medium to dark gray. Someone else thought it was brown. It was silent . Four adults and two children observed this disk, however, the five others left the scene to resume their daily routines. I stayed behind and followed the disk visually for another 15 minutes or so. This took me to my back yard which faces an east-southeasterly direction. The disk continued to move to the East toward Camp Pendleton, gradually moving slightly upward but still on a plane somewhat parallel to the horizon. The disk maneuvered from horizontal to vertical when it would travel straight up and then either flip over or return back to horizontal. I had to get to work but could still see the object in the distance before finally walking away. It appeared to be in the area of Camp Pendleton.

Shiny disclike craft floating above Laguan Niguel

We were having Mother's Day breakfast ouside on a clear, cloudless, relatively calm morning. We had observed vultures and small birds soaring earlier when we noticed a distant object overhead inland. A short time later we noticed it made a reflection from the sun that made us curious. From a distance it was speculated to be a glider, balloon, helicopter, or bird with shiny black feathers. Curiousity caused us to bet a pair of small 10 X 25 binoculars, and then determined it was a disclike craft "soaring" in the morning sky slowy floating toward the ocean from inland in a general Northward path. We all took turns looking, and it slowly drifted over our location. As it swooped and floated much like a bird in a thermal, we could determine the top was a dark refective shiny surface, much like a lense in a refective pair of sungalsses. As it turned, it was very thin, almost flat, becoming almost invisible from the side. the bottom side looked a lot like the turbine blades in a jet engine, but they were moving slow enough to see. The underbelly was either translucent, or reflected the light from the ground on the surface beyond the "turbine like" blades appearing on the underside. I was able to get several shots with a digital camera but at that distance the quality was less than marginal. We attempted to get a video but the camera had a low battery and by the time we got it charged the object was out of sight. It was difficult to determine the size. As a lay person I felt it could be some unknown kind of domestic unmanned survielance craft.

We are visiting friends here and will return to N. Carolina on 05/16/03. I will try to download the images I have when I return.

A brief experience with a reflective surface in the sky.

I was sitting next my brother while we were driving home from an early dinner, I saw what seemed like a flat reflective shape in the sky. I thought it was a kite at first and pointed at it, so my brother could witnessed also and tell me what it is. By the time he could look in the right area of the sky it disappeared. I tried to take a picture at the time and kept looking to see if it would reflect again at a different angle, but it was just gone.

It might not have a genuine UFO, but if was something I could not explain. Just doing my part in reporting anything. I have a degree in Management Information Systems, and am working on getting my MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer).

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

I was lying down, and I look in the sky. I see a sphere and I thought it was a plane. I look closely, but I see it is not like a plane or helicopter. I look and it is going back not in a straight line, but moving back in a little circular mode. It is bigger than a star, smaller than a moon. I know it was not a plane or anything like that.

The object looked like a sphere. It was moving back in a circular mode toward the mountain. It seemed like it was going fast and was going farther from my site. I ran to get a binocular but it was gone. I got my mom and she came too, but it was not there. The object seemed to have several orangish lights. I know it could not be a plane or helicopter. After the object was gone, I looked in the sky also, and it seemed like there was some redish cloud, not to red but it seemed a different form of color and the object was moving that way. I am not bsing at all and please call me or anything if you need any more information. I can talk to you on the phone etc. Thank you very much. (I have ocean view and it was to a canyon and that is where I saw it)

Bouncing orange lights in night sky.

I had returned home from work and as I crossed the street to my my condominium something made me turn around and look up into the sky.They were orange balls of light that bounced along through the night sky like flying tumbleweeds. It was very overcast and windy (Santa Ana winds) and they appeared to be eithor in the clouds or above them shining lights down.They made no sounds.They moved in a general north to south flight. I looked around for other witnesses but no one else was around. I watched them.After a minute or so, I looked around again for another witness and when I looked back at the sky the lights had gone.

I witnessed a red object aprox 300-500 yards off a comercial airliners left wing, it kept the same speed for about 20 sec, then it vanished, it was very strange, because it was far enough away from the plane that you could clearly see that was much smaller than the airliner. I know it was a comercial airliner because the travel the same route every night. Anything that is that close to a big plane couldn't fly because it would be in the planes wake!
