Cube Shape seen during lightning flash

My wife and I were waiting out a strong storm with intense lightning this evening. While sitting in our living room with the lights off, she had fallen asleep and I was watching distant lightning from the window. During one of the lightning flashes, the sky was lit for a period of about 4-6 seconds, and I witnessed a cube like object above the tree tops between the lightning and myself. I can not say for certain whether it was directly across the road in the treetops or if it was farther away in the sky and appeared as if it was that close. But it was most definitely a cube shape soaring across the skyline. Black in color due to only seeing the shape, it had what appeared to be 4 sides, but appeared to tumble or rotate slightly. It appeared to be moving very quickly. I saw no lights or anything else during this time.

While trying to analyze my golf swing, I caught the subject accidentally

My dad and I were at the driving range hitting a bucket of golf balls. I was recording our swings for later analysis. While reviewing the footage in the car afterwards, we spotted an unusual object. In the video, it appears heading north, then executes a 270° loop: first turning left towards the west, then briefly south, and finally heading east. During the turn, the sun reflects off the object, making it shine brightly before it quickly zips out of sight. It didn’t appear to have any wings or a visible sign of propulsion, it made no sound and did not look like any conventional aircraft we had ever seen. My dad was a private and commercial airline pilot for over 45 years and he could not explain what he was looking at. To put that into contexts, if a man of my father’s stature couldn’t explain what he was looking at in the sky, then it was something very strange.

It was 5:33 in the morning. I woke up a hour before and stood outside on my porch. There was nothing in the sky I looked on the ground and back up. When I looked up I saw 3 blue lights close together hovering over the treeline across the street. The middle light shone bright. I started at it for a sec and then got scared so I ran inside grabbed a knife locked the door and turned out all the lights. I went to my moms room she was asleep so I layed beside her. I felt like something was trying to talk to me through brain waves. I kept hearing the word zerk. Ever since this morning when it happened I feel like my senses have heightened not to a super hero level but they have increases.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

Lawndale, CA bright fireball-like object flashed across the sky going in a northwesterly direction, lasting approximately 10-30 second

At approximately 9:43p, this evening (09/27/13), as I was sitting in my backyard patio and watching the sky, I saw a flash (?), with sparkling tail, crossing the sky in a northwesterly direction. I heard no sound with its’ flight. (I had seen a similar flash on 6/28/13, but it had a w-h-h-h-sh sound – which I never reported, expecting to see something in the news. But, I didn’t.) The flight I saw lasted approximately 10-30 seconds, before disappearing from my sight.

It was much larger than the stars, that I watch, but much smaller than the moon (but as bright).

It sort of had a fish or fireball shape, was bright white, sparkling and very fast. Also, the tail seemed to be flashing or dropping off, but not getting any smaller, to my naked eye.

Shape: Egg
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw an airborne egg shaped object that was completely silent and pulsing a dim red light.

At around 9:00pm August 5th, 2013 as I walked out of my house I saw an airborne object traveling from west to east. There was a layer of clouds coming in off of the ocean and I only saw it for a moment as it passed through a gap in the cloud cover. It appeared to be made of a dark material and had a dim pulsing red light beneath it. At first I thought it was a helicopter but the lack of sound and rotor caught my full attention. It had an oblong shape to it, sort of like a football.

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

chevron shaped with 6 dim lights on either side shaped like birds with no heads or tails.

I was out in my backyard which is like a long doggy run about 6 feet wide. I was looking west at Orion at 8:55 on Wednesday , Feb. 22nd 2006. It was a clear night with moonlight. I turned east to see if my cat was around, when suddenly I noticed that the moon light seemed to be dimming. I looked up to see something strange coming towards me. It covered my yard and looked like a flock of large birds soaring in formation except the point was missing. Starting from the back bottom edges and going towards where the point should have been , it seemed like dim lights (light gray) or reflectors shaped like east - west marque gems on either side of a small circle . There were about 6 or more on either side. As it flew past I noticed that the marques on the right side were starting to stack up on each other, that is when I realized it was banking right and turning toward the north. I use to live by LAX and this object made no jet sound or propeller sound. If I had made a fist it would not have covered it up. My brother in law says birds do not fly at night. If it was birds, there wings never flapped. It headed north. Is this a UFO ???

Duration: 5 min.

Location: Lawndale, CA, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

At Alondra Park I looked up at the sky because a small aircraft was flying overhead. I noticed 6 small circle shaped craft, not moving in the sky. They were well above the small aircraft which was a Cessna. I continued to look as long as I could. I then began looking for the child that I came to the park with. After locating her I looked back in the sky and trying to re-locate them in order to show them to other people at the park, however they were no longer there. There is no question in my mind that I saw what I saw.

A craft with a portal

NOV. 28, 2009 I have been wanting to tell someone about my sighting for a long time, not because I saw a UFO but because of pieces of information that may have some significant value.

This was in the late 60's in California. I was maybe 15 at the time, living with my parents. I was sleeping, in my own room at the rear of the house, when I was awakened by a noise. It was the sound that a jet would make, however it was of a slightly different pitch, I knelt on my bed looking out of my window and was frozen in place by the sight of a UFO hoovering approx. 100' above our neighbors and our house. This UFO was the stereotypical UFO for the time and I am not sure that I could even describe it accurately now. This craft hoovered maybe 15 seconds in this spot ( which seemed like 15 minutes ) and then it departed in a vertical direction until it was pretty high, before moving horizontally. The next thing that happened was pretty cool. It was a clear night with a lot of stars visible and I was watching this craft depart out of frozen, excited, curiosity. It was traveling horizontally when it came to a spot in the sky that was pure black, no stars, and darker in! color than the night sky, as it got to this spot it turned into it an vanished instantly.

I was disappointed that it was gone because I wanted to continue to watch and follow this craft, but I was excited because I felt I knew a little something that others didn’t, and that was an explanation of how they are able to travel such great distances. I have told very few people of this sighting because they tend to not believe you, and I have never really known who I could give this information to. If this information helps in any way than my job is done. Thanks.
