I have a video, strange thing going down with a red stream then back up and has a weird aura

My boyfriend and I brought the park and I looked to the right and I saw a red stripe in the sky go downwards, and suddenly strike upwards. It then had changed appearance, and became a red dot visibly to the naked eye and was hard to see but on my phone it was excellent. It continued going left in the sky, I captured 3 separate videos. Please excuse my boyfriends auditory comments.

Location details: On top of the hill at the Sports Park in Lake Forest

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

5 or 6 formation craft flew by while constantly changing formation.

5 or 6 crafts changing formation constantly. Speed faster than any airplane. Maybe close to the speed of a shooting star. Except each craft was the shape of a mix of a disk and a toy top. Seemed to somewhat have something pointy on the top and bottom of the craft. Each craft had a yellow light. Moving behind the clouds during the rain. Note there was small amount of lightning from that direction. Did not hear thunder. Just saw a flash before and after sighting. Likely lightning from far away. The craft disappeared quickly behind the clouds. Saw for maybe around 5 seconds.
Was on a run up the hill at the sports park. Possibly the only one to have seen them as far as I know. Altitude just above the clouds so maybe 3000 or 4000 feet up. As they moved the formation constantly bounced up and down forward and backward. As if it was a fast paced race.

4 o’clock in the morning during the week, I see this light out my kitchen window. This light turned into 2 lights about two weeks ago. This has become a regular event. I thought I was seeing planets, like Jupiter in the sky which appear very big right now. These are not planets. Now they zoom in and out and turn the streetlamp just beyond my house on and off and seem to be trying to communicate with me. It’s a regular thing now and they last as long as I stand in the window and watch them.

They seem to be turning and emitting colors, the largest and closest one appears to have 3 connect triangular lights. We spotted them a few years back. The larger one like to hang out in the same spot.

Short observation of changing lights.

At approximately 20:00 on 7 September 2018, I returned home from work and pulled into my driveway. A bright blue light in the sky approximately 60 degrees up caught my eye, followed by a bright red light approximately 45 degrees horizontal to the left.

Thinking they were too bright to be aircraft, I watched for approximately 30 seconds. The lights abruptly shifted colors (red to blue and blue to red), then disappeared.

There was no sound, clear airspace, and no communication/signal towers in the vicinity.

Daughter pointed out strange light in the sky that looked crazy to her. I saw it and immediately took out my phone. There were probably 5 or so white lights that flashed from left to right, then right to left, continuously.

The sun was not yet set and the lights were brighter than anything possible. It was very long horizontally, moved extremely fast, it was there and gone in less than 2 minutes and made no noise that we could hear. It was not visible by the end of the video.

I have the video ready to upload.

Humanoid being interaction

I was awakened at 9 pm and called to my back door.

I opened the wood door and saw through my security metal door a bald two toned skin in an silver suit wearing an clear globe on its head with red criss crossing lights on the globe. He was bald with no hair staring at my front gate.
This being was telepathic and read my entire life to that moment that I saw him.

And after reading my entire life told me to go back to bed.

I was numb and confused about what happened. But slept and I remembered the next day what happened. So I searched the internet and found the wall drawings at calmonica that is exactly what this being looked like.

4 bright, large orange orbs of light in night sky lasting 15 munutes

I was driving home on the freeway on Aug. 25, 2014, at approx. 8:45 pm. I noticed 2 very bright orange orbs in the sky to my right. They were very bright. They were horizontal to each other, side by side and the distance between them stayed the same.

There were tall trees along the fwy so from time to time I lost sight of them, but whenever there was a clearing I could see them. Although I was traveling at 65 mph, I never got closer to the orbs of light, nor did they get any farther.

For a period of 3-4 minutes I lost sight of them due to trees but then I got to a point where the sky was very visible. There they were but now they where in front of me, slightly to my left, but now there were 4 bright orange orbs, 2 that were verticle and next to it 2 that were horizontal. They seemed to be stationary in the sky, very bright and had to be seen by everyone traveling down the freeway as well as others who live in the area.

There are some news reports about it as well as youtube videos. The news said it was probably flares from Camp Pendleton during a training exercise. I don't believe that at all.

These orbs stayed in the same position in the sky for 14-15 minutes. If they were flares, then they were anti-gravity flares. Camp Pendelton is @ 35 miles to the south of where I was and if they were flares from Pendelton they would not have appeared so big and bright nor stay fixed in the sky for 14 -15 minutes. Flares descend, these did not. I have seen flares in the past and these were not flares.

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

Fast moving disk seen above the north Chicago-land area heading north.

Traveling north on I-94 about to head west on route 60 about ten minutes until 8pm on November 24, 2013. An oval passed from above the car out to the horizon in about 2 seconds. I say oval, but I could tell it was actually the shape of a frisbee, but from my angle, it appeared to be an oval. We were about a half an hour north of O'Hare airport, but it was moving way to fast to be a plane. And it was too big and had a solid white light that didn't blink or flare or leave a trail, so it couldn't have been a comet. It seemed to be about airplane height, I want to say 20,000 feet. But by the time it reached the horizon, it could have been anything higher than that. If a plane travels 500-600 mph, I would say it was 4 to 6 times faster then that. The best way to describe it was if I were laying on my back and a professional whipped a frisbee over my head. Only difference is the object was clearly glowing and was very high in the air and huge. It was about the size of a skittle, maybe a little bigger from my perspective. As I wrote, it happened very fast, but as soon as it happened, my passenger and I looked at each other and at the same time said, "Did you just see that?". I consider myself a fairly intelligent person and I cannot figure what it could have been, neither can my friend. Thank you.

Two bright lights appear over norther Illinois

Two bright lights seen over norther Illinois since 3-9-12. One craft lower and the second craft higher altitude. Both same shape. Appear as lights to the naked eye but when photographed they are identical "space crafts". They appear to be concealed in the Taurus constellation but looking at the photographs they are not stars. Appear to be flying in a spiral formation but from earth apper to be standing still. Have asked friends to look at the sky for this, and all have seen it but no one can explain it. (on the first night of viewing this-Friday- there were aircraft that appears to be circling these objects-- like military or something very human checking it out)

3 Triangular UFOs Sighted in Lake Forest, IL

While a couple friends and I were at the beach, there were 3 triangular shaped objects at opposite directions of the sky. They all came together as one, conformed, and shot back in opposite directions. They were pretty low to the ground. Airplanes are typically much higher. The three objects were traveling extremely fast and disappeared into the sky eventually. From research, I learned that there is a naval base it Great Lakes, IL, which is about ten miles from the sighting, so this could be a possibility. However, I don't understand the motive behind what happened if it was Navy organized. The triangular flashed red and yellow very quickly as they moved together and until they disappeared. I got a vague glimpse at one of them as they passed, and it was nothing like I've ever seen before. Not an airplane, helicopter, or anything of that nature. A UFO sighting or something else?

Multiple luminating lights seen over horizon from Lake Forest, CA

November 25, 2009 (originally written at 6:09 PM) Lake Forest, CA At approximately 5:33 PM, I was sitting in the bedroom with my girlfriend ((name deleted)) while we were working on the computer when she saw a bright light in the sky and told me to check it out. This light was in approximation 33 degrees north and 117 degrees west from my location (used Google Earth to approximate degrees). The object did not move the first couple of minutes and I had the chance to get my binocular and look at it. The binocular is just a regular binocular; but looking at the light or "object", it was a bright and luminating yellow light (which it looked as a single connecting object without the binoculars but with them it looked like four slightly separated lights in a shape of four equal sized small circles with the gaps pulsating with light). I was only able to take cell phone photo and images (did not have my digital camera with me) but the cell phone footage along with a drawing and other material is included. Upon looking at the first light for a couple of minutes, on the opposite side of the sky (east to the visible location of the 1st object) I saw another light that was pulsating yellow that seemed to be even closer (as it looked bigger) slightly moving before moving at fast speeds. While spending only a few seconds with the binocular on the 2nd object, it too seemed to be four small luminating circles which looked as one total piece when viewed by the naked eye. The first object seemed to be in Irvine as the Irvine Spectrum is completely visible by my location (and based by my perspective was hovering above Irvine Spectrum). The second object being to the other side of the sky was clearly in a different location and in a different city. After the second light was moving slowly, I saw the 1st light "accelerate" slowly and became barely visible (even with the binocular). The 2nd object while visible, seemed to be moving more rapidly back and forth (appearing huge, then smaller, then huge, then barely visible and faint)th! an the 1st one. Thinking the 1st object was gone, it came to v! iew agai n (about 70-75% of the size appearance) from the earlier appearance & the 2nd object also came back to view. In observing the sky after my girlfriend pointed it out to me, the sky seemed very crowded and busy like never before. I am unsure what the objects were, but they certainly of no similarity to the other objects as the other objects were much smaller and of white colored light. If I had to guess, I would guess helicopters and possibly a jet for the faster moving object. There were other faint objects I could not identify clearly. After this and during the whole commotion, a 3rd light was clearly visible (to the west appearance of the 1st object for a brief time) but no more than two objects or lights were clearly seen and visible at any given time. As stated, the entire event was about 10-15 minutes but as quickly it all seemed to happen, the objects disappeared and did not come back (according to what we saw as we waited 10-15 minutes or so after) and the other lights! and possibly helicopters quickly after that (within 2-5 minutes after).

After the 1st light, I assumed it was some sort of projection light from the Irvine Spectrum; but after seeing the 2nd (and what seemed identical) light, I knew that was not possible. I don't know what the objects were that I saw, but they clearly were not an airplane, jet, or any other similar objects as the objects even stood to what it appeared completely still at times but also seemed to "accelerate" at extreme speeds but surely were the most unusual object(s) that I have seen my entire life. I have attached a drawing as well along with other footage so include it at your discretion. Thank you.

This thing was flying away from us, once we noticed it the object flew towards us and changed the color of its lights.

At approximately 1:20 AM in Lake Forest CA my younger brother, girlfriend and I observed a flying object that seemed to have white strobe lights, these lights were bright and flashed quickly, they stopped and the lights then turn a solid red. There was no shape that we could distinguish in the object. The object was flying away from us but then turned around and seemed to hover over a few areas and stopped then continued its flight passed us. The only way I can describe the flashing is as if the object was taking photographs, we could vaguely hear the sound of a helicopter. I searched youtube and found the exact same object titled A UFO sighting! said to be filmed on July 7th 2009 in San Jose.

2 UFO'S THAT WERE NOT FROM HUMAN TECHNOLOGY

2 objects were moving in the sky in ways man made aircraft could not. Stop , hover, roll, fast, slow. They were unbelievable.We have nothing that is that quick. I was playing a round of night golf with my son, who spotted them. He was so scared, he still is shaking. The way they moved was awesome, but what really was great were their lights. Brillant colors, all in circles, around the craft.Way brighter than any airplane lights, or for any lights I have ever seen period. They are what really have my mind thinking something is not right here. Because we just don't have that technology yet.Whatever was in the sky tonight wasn't one of ours.People will laugh, but I know what I saw.

Well i am 17 i have lived here for about ten years and i have been a skeptic and am also a night owl. I have a previous report to you about another sighting a year or two ago. Anyways my living room looks out a sliding glass door to a forest behind my house. Anyway i was talking to my girlfriend on the phone in the room sitting on the couch looking at the slider door. Then out of nowhere the craft appeared above the trees. I saw the craft and since it just appereared i took interest that it might be the same craft as my last sighting which had also just appeared out of thin air. I told my girlfriend to hold on and i stared at the craft when it then changed colors, moved to the right popped away then reappeared flew to the middle and dissappeared. I panicked and told my GF what i had just seen. I am always watching the skys since that seconed sighting. The craft has not reeappeared.

circular object spotted flying in a "pendulum" flying pattern above Lake Forest, California

When going to the bank, as i parked my car i noticed 3 flying lights, of thse 3, 2 moved like an airplane (slow moving to my perspective and not changing direction), one was moving erradically from far away, but moving im my direction (note it did have the mormal red flashing light like a normal plane)(also Note the direction of travel was south east into my position).

So i went into the bank and as i came out, this object had now moved closer and still moved erradically, the motion is as described below: this motion was characterised by a general movement of a pendulum, moving back and forth with some "vibration" as it moved.

As this object was closer, i saw it at about 65 degrees from horizontal. When the motion of the object moved it closer to me, i got a chance of seeing the bottom of this object when i relized it was a round shape because it had rectangular lights aligned in a circle arround the bottom of it.

one further realization was that the manuevers it was doing (although possible to a stunt plane) were not possible, even so when the object appeared at the end of a "pendulum swing" to have dropped straight down.

AS far as the color i coudn't tell since the object was seen at night, and it's lights were seen clarly but not the color.

As far as Sounds, this object didn't make any sounds.

I looked up towards the east and saw three lights flying towards my direction. I went indside my house and got my camera. When I came outside I could see three different sets of lights. The lights seemed very low.

I live in an area that is lower than the surrounding land, so they must have been very low. I took several pictures but ran out of memory. One of the sets of lights seemed to move more in my direction then they slowly flew away.

Well i like the night time and one night i was out in front of my house, just looking at the stars and out of the corner of my eye i saw a light dart by. I sat up and looked ahead and saw the light moving beyond the trees by my house, so i stood up. The object was a semi bright ball of light. It moved left to right, up, down, right left, hovered, and all this time the colors changed from red to green to white then just dissappeared. Shortly after I think either two or one car alarms went off. I ran in the house and yelled for my dad but he didn t believe me and wouldnt come and look.

I have a nother one i will post. Im glad i found out about this site.

Flourescent white-green 'fireball' from NW Corner of sky in Illinois

This has been the third time I have seen this. The first time myself and another person saw it at the same location. The second was just myself and my brother and wife and children at a different location. And the third time myself.

Always from the Northwest part of the sky, exactly at the same spot, we have seen a 'fireball' shoot down from the sky. It was extremely bright (like a fluorescent white) and also contained a greenish glow to it. This left no trace or trails. On the second observation the object DID 'shoot' back up in the same section of the sky approximately one hour later. No sounds, nothing out of the ordinary afterwards.

I am an astronomer, and have seen VERY bright shooting stars ('fireballs' if you will). This was NOT one of those.

The time and date given for this event is my THIRD viewing. The times for the other events were all around 10pm-12pm CST and each viewing was seperated by a period of years.

Witnessed an amber/orange light silently fly over, stop for 3 minutes, moved again and stopped only to release 2 more smaller orange lights & then vanish.

My wife & I were taking our son & daughter to Chuck'E Cheese in Lake Forest to celebrate our son's 11th birthday. It was a little past 8 p.m. when I was driving south on El Toro road. I had to get gas first so I headed for the Arco gas station near the 5 freeway. One block before I pulled in I saw a bright orange ball/light slowly moving South East. I told my son to check out the light. I saw it because it was in front of me at about 200 feet up & 1/4 mile away & it was a clear night. I continued to glance at it until I got to the gas station. After I pulled in my son & I got out of the van & ran over to see it. My wife didn't care to see this. The orange light slowly drifted in the same direction over our heads & then stopped. At this time I was facing south. It was silent. The light stayed there for 3 minutes & started drifting to our right (south west) which placed it above the 5 freeway. At this time I was telling my wife to please see this & she wouldn't budge. The light stopped again & then it flickered & two smaller orange lights came out of it about 2 seconds apart. After this happened the light started to move away & then flickered out. It's as though it released some scout crafts & took off. When it disappeared it was like turning off a light bulb. A few minutes later I saw two military aircraft flying at top speed in the direction of the UFO. I figured that the UFO saw the military jets, launched some scouts & took off before they reached them. My son & I were very excited. This was an amazing event that took place. I knew this wasn't any craft that we have because it didn't have any other lights that are required for aircraft & it was silent. In 1987 while I was in Miami I remember seeing this same type of glowing orange light silently drifting south & when it was overhead it became brighter & then released four smaller orange lights which flew in a "V" formation with the brighter light in front. It continued flying until it was out of my sight. I use the words "light" or "ball" to describe! what wa s viewable. I would have loved to see the craft itself.

Two bright headlights hovered noiselessly. Eyes adjusted and saw a Stealth shape head on. Finally able to see orange whisp of light where the canopy would convex the dash lights. Left silently sideways over trees.

The orange dash lights converging as a whisp of light on the canopy indicate this is a homegrown device. Albiet, w/ alien technology.

3 AM. Delivering papers 1 block north of Fort Sheridan, off Sheridan Rd. Dark, floating, soundless UFO floats across sky.

At 3AM, about 4 yrs ago, when I was 21, I was delivering papers in Lake Forest, Illinois. I was 1 block north of Fort Sheridan. The sky was dimly illuminated by surrounding streetlights, etc... I looked up, and over treetops a dark, lightless, soundless, UFO floated. It was so low I probably could of hit it with a rock, easily. I was excited, and decided to follow it. I noticed it wasn't the shape of flying craft normally seen. It was a solid shape, like rectangle, triangle, square, but I was more excited to follow it, so I didn't focus on exact shape. It wasn't enormous, but not real small neither. I did notice it seemed to have bumps and ridges on the bottom. I have a sunroof, so when it flew over my car I could see it. I chased it, but soon gave up because I couldn't maneuver the small suburban roads well enough to follow it's flight path. It floated in a straight path, not seeming to gain altitude (very low). It floated slowly. I lost it in the darkness. My assumption was it either flew directly over Fort Sheridan, or it took off from Fort Sheridan. (Fort Sheridan, as to my knowledge, is a closed military base).

June 1980

I spent 9 years in Lake Forest Ill and had just been re-located to California. We came back to say goodbye, it was the day my grandmother passed away. It was approx 8:30 and I had to get out of the house and take a short walk. I headed down King Muir Rd towards to the corner of Deer Path Road, and I heard an extremely loud, two very low frequencies coming from a triangle shape, it was moving very slowly, I watched it for five or so minutes when it changed direction and just vanished.

The Lake Forest is not the only one however, When I was five years old, I was headed home from Springfeild, Il with my grandfather and it was totally dark out. All of a sudden my grandfather spotted an object hovering above a field and he pulled over to the side of the road. There was a brightly lit with multiple colored lights, it looked like an enormous barrel (10X size) with both ends bulging out. His car died and he could not start it, until the object suddenly shot upwards and vanished. There was no noise from what I remember.
