Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a strange flying object in the sky. It stopped for a few seconds in front of me, then moved at a blink-of-eye speed without sound.

Subject: Report of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UFO)
Date: April 21, 2025
Time: Between 2:47 and 2:51 AM
Location: Los Angeles - Long Beach, Gateway Guard Post (Unknown)
Reporting Authority: (Name Withheld for Privacy Reasons)

To the authority responsible for monitoring and analyzing unidentified aerial phenomena.


I am submitting this report based on what I observed during my night shift at the above-mentioned location, at dawn on Monday, April 21, 2025.


At approximately 2:47 AM, I observed an atypical white light in the sky, which appeared stationary and centered over the heavy crane area. Upon closer inspection, I identified an unusual flying object, oval in shape, dark gray in color, with a faintly reflective surface. The object hovered slowly over the port, making no noticeable sound, then came to a complete stop above one of the cranes for approximately four seconds.

After the brief pause, the object left the area at an unusual speed, moving almost instantaneously, in an unspecified direction. I was unable to visually track it thereafter.


I am submitting this report to inform you of the incident. I confirm that what was observed does not resemble any aircraft or satellite known to my experience. I defer the assessment of the incident to the competent authorities.


With my sincere appreciation.

Location details: Location of sighting was the sky, viewing from 9th floor of hotel room, looking out the window.

Shape: Circle
Color: Silver and Black
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Facing North
Angle of Elevation: 64
Characteristics: Emitted other objects, Changed Colo

In the sky, a small circle changed from silver to black. It squirted a white substance as it floated and darted in the area.

While looking straight out the 9th floor window of the Hilton Long Beach hotel at 701 Ocean, facing north, a small circular object was spotted in the sky, in the distance. From the view point at the window, the size of the object was quite small, like a dot, and could easily be missed by anyone looking at the sky. It moved to a new position, in the same vicinity as the previous. The object seemed to FLIP in a consistent manner, and it's color changed from silver to black, and back again. As the object flipped it's color, it released a white substance. The substance looked like a tail of smoke which disappeared quickly. The small circular object continued to do this throughout the sky in a relatively small section over Long Beach. Tried to take a video and picture but the hotel window was too dirty to capture it.

I observed what I initially believed was a rocket as I was driving home on the freeway near Long Beach, CA. There was a trail that looked like an engine or power source propelling the object. The object from my vantage point was not ascending but appeared to be descending. Shortly after my initially observation, the object’s apparent power source stopped and the object was static in the sky. A short moment later, the object completely disappeared from the sky.

A single light turned into 5 as it got closer

Looking north I saw what looked like a bar distance edges of light that was white and scintillated. It seem like the object saw me and came at me. When it got closer the object got large maybe an aircraft carrier size maybe larger the single light seemed to separate into five lights. The object came over me and I saw what were smaller lights lots of the looking up toward the object. I lost some time and the next thing I know I’m barging into a neighbors home at dinner time very afraid and asking for forgiveness for the intrusion. I asked to use their phone which they gave me and called my mom to come pick me to 3 houses from the neighbors. I lost time and memory of in between time. I’m sure I need some sort of regression memory assistance to understand what happened I didn’t see it leave as the only thing I remember is barging into the neighbors house

One flew over the city and the other flew toward Catalina island. Then they came back together and flew off.

Saw a ( fire ball ) moving WNW to SE in a horizontal direction

At 2:33 am pst, as i was going to my bathroom on the second floor, i looked out my window saw a ( fire ball ) with trailing red and orange flames moving from WNW to SE. I thought it might be an aircraft with flaming engine or maybe some kind of space junk, i estimated my sight was 45 degrees horizontal plane. This object was moving in a horizontal direction for about 11/2 minutes before the flames went out. After the flames went out there was a small bright dot with a faint glow behind it that continue for 3-5 minutes moving SE. But after this, a lower orange ball of light appeared well below about 10 degrees horizontal plane, that appeared to circle for 30 seconds and disappeared.

Large Hovering Fireball

We saw a shimmering fireball in the sky making a diagonal motion. It looked like it was on fire. Then it hovered in one spot, perfectly still, for 30 to 40 seconds without moving, but it was still flashing as if it was on fire. Then it dropped straight down toward the ground, and the light went out and then flickered back for a minute while it was still falling and then went completely out. It was shaped like a diamond or like an hourglass. It looked large compared to planes we usually see in the sky. It was flashing a yellow-orange color, like fire. But if it was an aircraft on fire, it could not have paused and hovered in the sky for that long. It was completely silent. It was against a dark night sky with only a few stars.

Streak of horizontal light over Long Beach

We were looking up at the southwestern sky for the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction on December 21. It was close to sunset but there was still light in the sky. Out of nowhere a flash of light streaked HORIZONTALLY to the right of us. This object was not falling, it was flying absolutely horizontal and traveling south, away from us. The object was close and low. It was a very bright, white streak of light with a blue color in the front and then the long white streak or tail. As fast as it appeared, it disappeared. The tail caught up with the front. It sped up and vanished. This was a 3-4 second event. It made no noise. I turned to my friend and asked if he just saw that. He said yes. Again, the object was flying horizontally. I have never seen anything like this before..

Formation of lights

I was laying in bed about to go to sleep. When I see a dim greenish blue light on top of a tree canopy about 30 yards away and it proceeds to get brighter and then flash off. Then it does it again but turns the faintest bit of red at the very end.

Immediately after it turns into a formation of white tiny lights, about 8 or 9 llights spread out over 35 yards in total, now 40 yards or so above the tree canopy then disappear but then they light up again about 20 yards from where they initially lit up and do a swirl like speeding off pattern astonishly and creepily fast.

Bright light passed overhead silently and descended half a mile away from my view

I was out on my usual patrol. I exit a building, specifically, a small gym, here at my worksite. I then quickly look up and right over my head a very bright but silent light passed right above me and descended about half a mile away making no noise whatsoever. It looked very similar to a meteor shower although I don't recall meteor showers flying very close to ground level, below a normal aircraft would fly.

Probably about 500ft up solid black triangle with rounded edges barely moving but very slowly rising

I realize this is many years later and a very benign visual, but this was unsettling and I am glad I found a way to report it somewhere. I was walking my dog after work, sun almost set but sky still very light, I saw a solid black rounded triangle shape hovering above. The edges were rounded, no points at all. It was high but not very - maybe about 400-500ft? No sound. Nothing else around it. As I stared, it looked to be moving slowly up. Very slow. At first I thought it was a mylar balloon or something similar, but did not seem to be moving with any wind and was not shiny or reflective. I looked for neighbors or anyone else walking by to point it out, but I was alone. As it kept climbing it went more and more out of view until it was too high to see. This took about 15 minutes. Besides the slow and deliberate movement, the odd shape and complete blackness of it are what made me want to report it. Not knowing if there are similar accounts of this shape. Attempted to look online over the years but nothing.

Characteristics: Emitted beams

I walked out of Trader Joe's to the parking lot and saw at least a dozen people pointing up to the sky; pointing and gasping looking due north toward/above Palos Verdes from Long Beach. I have never made any such report before but this was truly a strange event. The sky was cloudless but for only a few miles square in this northern part of the sky; and in the middle of this "clearing" there was a large spotlight- like a flashlight around 1/2 the size of the moon shining eastward. The power of this perfectly focused and precise light was extremely intense and appeared to cover at least 50 miles shining parallel to the ground at, and I'm guessing of course, a height of around 20,000 feet? This enormous spotlight/flashlight was not moving whatsoever; it was transfixed in the night sky. Witnesses were absolutely freaked out, and although I am not too excited about much of anything, I will admit that this was quite creepy and without obvious, logic! al explanation. My 9 yr old daughter will not stop talking about it. We took photos. It lasted full strength for around 20 minutes and then abruptly tapered off, and close shut, in around 15 seconds. Then all the witnesses started talking together, comparing notes, trying to figure out what we'd seen. It was a professional crowd and yes there was some anxiety among everyone. I cannot find a single report anywhere of this event but then again I am not part of the UFO community.

additonal witness to Peter Davenport report of ufo from Long Beach Wa

Last night (8.22.18) while listening to Coast to Coast, I heard Peter davenport mention the witness' at Long beach that spotted a UFO. I live about 2 miles south of the reported incident. It was already dark out, due to the smoke from British Columbia and the marine air that pushed the fog onto the shore.

I was outside on my deck talking to my wife on the cell phone when I saw the craft moving north to south at about 60 degrees above the horizon. There was no sound---just what appeared to be 4 red lights in a tight circular and or square pattern. It didn't look like the typical lights pattern of a commercial or private aircraft.

I wasn't able to get my phone switched to video mode fast enough but did get one photo taken, which sadly doesn't do much justice to what I way

Two white circular lights chasing each other back and forth at fast speed.

Last night at around 10pm I was laying in bed staring out the window with a view of the east end canal in Long Beach and saw two large white circular lights chasing each other back and forth at a quick speed. They were hidden within the clouds but the shape and light color were easy to see. The clouds seemed low last night because the orbs looked large. Saw them 3 times in a matter of a minute before they went away. Then about 5 minutes later just saw one traveling a bit slower and a bit farther away.

Rolling Sphere Across Sky

At approximately 18:38 on February 24, 2018, while walking to my apartment, I happened to be looking up at the stars which were nice and bright (for urban Long Beach, anyway) . My attention was drawn to the west by a steady orange light in the sky. It caught my attention because of its orange color and lack of any apparent strobe or beacon that normally would be seen on an aircraft. I caught a brief glance of it as I was walking and then a tree came between me and the light so that I temporarily lost sight of it. When I cleared the tree a second or two later, I noticed that the light was either climbing in altitude, or coming towards me (or both), and that it was a steady orange glow, almost like a landing light on an aircraft but way more orange. I was kind of fixated on this light, expecting at anytime to see a beacon or navigation lights which would have given it away as an aircraft when it started to fade and then disappeared completely. Not behind a clou! d or anything, but just faded out within the span of about a second or two at most. There might have been a second light behind (closer to the horizon) the first light, but, as I stated, I was transfixed on the brightest light, and only noticed a second light that disappeared along with the first light at the same time. That second light might have been an aircraft, as LAX outbound traffic is frequently in that vicinity of the sky, but I can’t be certain as I was only half aware of that light.

Anyway, as I was contemplating what I had just witnessed (I was stopped a few doors down from my apartment at this point, staring up at the sky), an object came “tumbling” by at, what seemed to me, just above treetop-level! It was moving in an easterly direction and, for lack of a better word, tumbling. It remind me of a semi-translucent, roughly spherical object with a very dim, orangey glow. There seemed to be a darker patch on the object that rotated with it’s apparent tumble, this is how I could see it’s rotation. It moved at a steady, quick pace; I’m bad at estimating speed, but I’d say maybe between 20 to 35 mph. It made no noise and was visible to me for approximately 5 to 8 seconds, I’d say. It moved eastward and looked to be descending as it crossed my field of view, but I could be wrong. It had a steady glow, no flickering like a candle or anything. I thought initially that maybe it was a bag with a candle or something in it, but I’ve seen flying lanterns before, and this didn’t look or move like the lanterns I’ve seen in the past. It had been a windy day in Long Beach, but when I saw this object, there was no wind that I could detect.

One other thing--as I was driving home about 10 to 15 minutes before my initial sighting of the original light, I had noticed a couple looking up at the sky rather intently on the sidewalk of the street I was driving down. Now I wish I had stopped and asked them what they were looking at. Maybe it was related to what i saw…

A couple gets on the freeway and witnesses a large fireball ufo in the sky and managed to capture 3 photos.

We were in the vehicle on the 710 exiting willow when we saw a fireball in the sky. It was the size of an economic automobile that hovered intuitively in the night sky above us. Time seem to slow down and we managed to take 3 pictures of the craft. The unidentified flying object would hover in the same spot for seconds at a time and navigated away from us. It was sparkling object and it was ejecting sparks and the center omitted bright luminous gold's and red. When looking at the photos that we have capture of this event the object appears to be white light projection.

White star light object is jumps across the sky lighting up green then stops momentarily then moves slowly across the sky then disapear

I was walking home (West) after watching a movie, there was a marine layer over head so I could not see any stars. Out of the right corner of my eye there was a what appeared to be a street light high about. I didn't think much other then a helicopter was approaching. As the light started to get bigger.

As soon as I focused in the light jumped a crossed the sky under the marine layer about a mile in 1 second. In the process what actually caught my attention was when it moved across it lit up bright green, what appeared to be green flames with small sparks at the bottom.

I could not make out a shape of the craft other then an orb. It then stopped becoming stationary, that's when my mind was trying to figure out what had just happened. I pulled my iPhone out and filmed. The object was no longer green but yellowish/white moving slowly south west. When it suddenly vaporized as if it went behind a curtain in the sky.

UFO releases over 30 Orbs.

I saw a huge white orb over my house in Long Beach, CA, on October 21, 2017. At first I spotted two objects crossing path's with each other then focused on the larger one. As I zoomed in on my camera the UFO started ejecting smaller spheres into the atmosphere. The first ejection formed a triangular formation! As I kept filming the object started emitting tons of orbs falling in a steady stream from the main object. There were at least 40 smaller spheres emitted from the main UFO. Interestingly the smaller orbs were only visible through my infrared camera. This was recorded with my full spectrum Canon SX60 with a monopod in my backyard in Long Beach CA.

The first part of the video shows the raw footage and the analysis of the capture is presented in the end of the video.

As usual during my late night walk, I looked up and saw a medium lit light. Moving slowing opposite of the LBG airport. I thought nothing at the moment seeing many aircraft come and go. All of a sudden the object lit up green. Like a fire balls and moves slowly west. The green fire ball alarmed and and I took my phone out to film the object. It was on camera for several seconds before disappearing.

Immobile, white dot, not shiny and appeared to be very high in altitude.

I was at the soccer field at California State University/Long Beach, when I noticed a small white dot in the sky not moving at all. It looked like it was very high up and did not look like anything I have ever seen before in the sky, as it was very still and was not shiny.

It was next to a crescent shaped cloud (within the crest, south east from where I was), which I found interesting because I found video footage online of the same object I saw, sitting in the crest of a cloud that looked just like the one that I had seen, which also occurred in Long Beach.

I spotted the object while doing sit-ups, and stared at it for about 45 seconds. I switched positions to do a different exercise and took my eyes off the object for about 5 seconds, when I looked back the object was no where to be seen. And that's when I started to actually digest what I may had just seen.

I stopped my workout and scanned the area of sky I originally saw the object, for about 5-10 minutes. I was baffled that it had just disappeared so quickly after I looked away for a brief moment.

Bright Venus-like stationary light appears in late evening sky and abruptly dims and fades in place

In the SSW about 45 degrees up, I noticed a white light about as bright as Venus appears in the morning sky right now, which is very bright. I'm not sure exactly how long it had been there, but the last time I looked at that part of the sky was about 15 seconds prior to when I noticed it. It was about 1 1/2 hand widths to the left of Jupiter and a little higher up. Perfectly stationary.

As soon as I trained my binoculars on it, it dimmed to a faint star-like light, and through the binoculars it looked just like a star and continued dimming until it was no longer visible. I continued watching that area of the sky for another 10 minutes and didn't see anything else that was unusual.

One ufo.

I repeat just right before this report one from day before. We went to park on Lo my beach and I really wanted to see ufo again but this time take least a photo. Because the first time I was just watching. And for my luck I really before we went back to the car we saw the same object as day before.

I have video and also photo. I am 99 porcent sure it was the same as the day before. But the day before, I am 100000 % sure it was aliens. This one was up in the sky and it wasn't moving ..it was just staying at the same place and was it like very shining circle and again was lighting up and off. I will send a video. And after a few minutes, went down.. behind my horizon.

6 objects around the Pacific Coast.

Hi. We were celebrating kids b day party. And around 7pm (still was light, very beautiful weather). We (about 20 people) saw about 6 or 7 flying objects maybe more then 3 miles away from us. I'm absolutely sure it was not nothing I know or I ever saw before, the same the other people say. We saw round shape light objects. Was flying not so fast around the cost of city of long beach. First object seems as leader, because was as first and was most high, then was a little space and then was other I guess 5 objects behind flying the same speed. And they were randomly first one high the other one behind was a little under but behind still. Third one being agaIn different hight. But all was very close. And all these object were something like no like light blink but it was more like white bright shine light slowly up and off and just like this they were flying around the coast. We saw them until one house was in front of us. Some man record it. But I can't connect with him. But I hope I will. Cuz I don't know him. I was just watching them with happy feelings ND fear at the same time.

Small yellow orange red ball floating in sky for about 3 minutes; after, it disappeared.

I was sleeping, but my mom went out to get her phone in our car and she woke me and my sister up. It looked kinda like a fireball in the sky or a light, My mom and sister said it was bigger before I came out.

After I came out it sorta just looked like a small ball in the sky. An orange and reddish color. It started to blink, and then it just turned off completely. It was still visible afterwards but then it got lost in the clouds. I'm not sure if it's a UFO or a plane. But I looked up orange and yellow lights and the pictures that came up looked similar to what I saw.

We saw a green oval shape traveling town ward at an angle. It was very bright and hovered. Too bright. It was listening to us and changed colors every time we spoke. It was too quiet. It made no noise. It seemed to follow us. We went for our nightly run, and my wife said we were gone over an hour. It moved too fast when I pulled out my phone. It came down very close a few feet away. Then moved slowly away. It turned purple and disappeared in thin air. It scared me and my son to death. It went in and out of trees when we turned around. The neighborhood was eerily silent.

Dark round disc with bright steady orange light over Long Beach, CA. 02/25/2017

I saw one steady and quite bright orange light about the magnitude of Venus or brighter moving rapidly from southwest over the harbor in a northerly direction over the city of Long Beach, California. Weather conditions were clear – no rain or clouds. It emitted no sound. I could not estimate its altitude. As it passed overhead there was enough ambient light form the setting sun to back light it so that I could see that the light was attached to a colorless or black object with a more or less round or oval shape. It was the size of a dime held at arm’s length. I watched it until it disappeared behind the house I was stand next to. My first conclusion was that it could have been a drone, but it didn’t have the characteristic kind of movements usually displayed by drones. Neither did it display any flashing lights characteristic of most drones that I have seen.

Were they satellites, drones or something else? This morning, around 5:45 a.m., when my son and I were standing in my driveway and we were about to get in my truck, so I could take him to work, he said "Look.....there's a satellite ." I looked up and sure enough we could see a light above us that was about the size of Venus It was moving slowly, but then it stopped nearly right above us.

Then I noticed another light moving, however much, much smaller and it stopped as well. Then both began moving again. We couldn't continue to watch them since he would have been late for work. This isn't the first time some kind of object 'hovered' above my property. The last time it was daylight and there was a witness standing beside me this time too. The object was triangle in shape, the right and left side the same length and the bottom shorter than the 2 sides. It also appeared to be somewhat transparent...kind of a silver / grey color. I turned my eyes away fr! om it for a moment, and when I looked back up, it had disappeared. I guess we had watched it for about 2-3 minutes. Kind of makes you think someone is spying on you.

It looked like a shooting star going down really fast, but with a frontal metallic circle, and it disappeared completely mid air.

I was driving on the 710 South freeway heading home towards PCH. Didn't have time to capture but open my eyes and observe.

Then 2 drones appeared and hovered over the area the UFO disappeared to, either to investigate/confuse whoever had viewed it.

Hovering and Flickering red and green lights.

Looking South East I find my "alien star" I've been observing since 2013. Normally this object has a constant white light for but this time just the flickering red and green lights were visible. The lights appear to be a pet of a single object but the object cannot be seen. The lights always hover and move around the same way a hovering bee or dragon fly would hover, very short but quick sudden movements, starting and stopping on a dime.

Hovering flickering lights.

I went to close the back-door of the house and felt a random need to look outside as I closed the door as I've seen objects in the sky in the past at night, and sure enough, I see the lights I've seen countless times. These very bright lights consist of a constant white dot with flickering red and green lights occurring very close to the white light. The flickering is similar to seeing a single star that flickers at night. All the lights are so bright as though you're staring into an LED bulb from afar. These lights hover in one place and will slowly move up and down and side to side making figure "8" motions, sometimes moving horizontal and or vertical, and sometimes they will simply disappear as though someone turned off the switch. I have been observing these lights since 2013 and they're consistent with their behavior. I have nicknamed this phenomenon as the "alien planet or Alien Star." I have seen this happen countless times to the eastern horizon from Long Beach and Bolsa Chika State Beach, both in California. The movement of the lights are so slow and smooth they cannot be a helicopter, and the lights are so bright and unique they're not a common known drone.

Impossably fast moving light following plane and evading persuit.

at approximately 5:00 am 5:10 am PDT I observed a bright white light over head at about 70 degrees south, south west moving erratically and periodically flashing on and off light. the object appeared to be right at or just above the atmosphere. In the span of about 6in in my field of vision the object at extreme rate of speed traveled that distance and immediately stopped with out any distance to decelerate. It did the several times over the course of the sighting. it moved in straight lines and in a tight circular motion and it appeared to hop like in motion quickly accelerating and stopping moving in a circular motion as well as quick straight lines. At approximately 5:30 - 5:45 a high altitude aircraft traveling east passed by the object that was frozen in motion, after aircraft passed by the object it followed behind at about a half inch distance for 6-7in until the object broke away and traveled back to its original position. Continued to move erratical! ly until 6:10 - 6:11 am it abruptly stopped and froze in place, when a second dimly lit smaller light quickly moved from the north to the south and met the first light and stopped at about 9 in away and moved from left to right maintaining the same distance away. About 20 min later the second approaching object moved closer to the first. the first object quickly accelerated away and put about 12in of distance between them in an instant and then flashed out lights. they continued this same patter until I lost sight of both objects with the rising sun.

I was driving over what is known as Signal Hill, within the city limits of Long Beach, CA. I noticed a strange object with multiple lights blinking in sequence flying past about a quarter mile away. As i proceeded over the top of the hill and began to drive down the other side I saw that it was suddenly at least 2-3 miles away but still shone very very bright. About two blocks further down the hill i looked south and saw three VERY bright lights in an isoceles triangle formation. I made a sudden Uturn to head back to higher ground and pulled over to take some pictures. As minutes passed the lights moved across the horizon but stayed in the formation. I then noticed as i scanned the skyline, of which i had about 180 degree field of vision i took notice of an inordinate amount of other aircraft and helicopters flying around rapidly. From where i stood i could see clear for at least 20 miles. When i would unfocus my eyes on a darker area of the sky, other faint! lights throughout the sky became visible, some moving slowly, others staying in place. After a few minutes i got back in the car to head home. On the 10 minute drive from the hill to my house I saw four helicopters and what i belive to be a military jet, all moving quickly and at varying altitudes. I captured some very clear shots of what i saw and upon returning home pulled them up on my laptop to adjust contrast and other photo settings. This revealed many more lights than i was aware of as well as showed that the three main lights I was trying to photograph were all in the shape of a triangle/delta.

Last night I saw a roundish orange light come up from the west behind our neighbor's tree. It was probably 100-200 feet up and steadily moved horizontally to the southeast out over the ocean before it blinked out. I got a good look at it through my binoculars.

Sad to say, I was disappointed; I immediately recognized it as some kind of lantern. I saw a burning flame surrounded by an egg-shaped transparent "plastic bag" and I could even see a few strings dangling from the bottom.

I called my wife out to take a look at it and she reached the same verdict. No other orbs followed.

This is not to say that I think all orange orb sightings are lanterns. There have been numerous truly puzzling orb sightings that don't seem to match the description of something that was human-made.

Orange orb, then 22 minutes later, a blue light that disappeared in <2 seconds.

An avid sky-watcher and amateur astronomer, I've seen meteors, fireballs, comets, and satellites, as well as things that are frequently reported as UFOs, such as aircraft, birds, bugs, and advertising lights. I spend a lot of time sky-watching, and hadn't seen anything unusual in over a year, until last night.

At 8:23PM, I noticed a bright glowing orange light a few degrees east of due north and about 20 degrees above the horizon. At first I thought it was a plane, because it seemed to be near Long Beach International Airport, but the color wasn't typical of aircraft lights. Through my binoculars, it looked slightly vertically elongated, as opposed to round. I noticed no other lights on it.

I also couldn't bring it into focus and the upper portion was fuzzier than the bottom portion. It slowly moved upwards and then slightly eastward, and then it moved slightly erratically and quickly faded out without a trace. Having read numerous reports about the propensity of orange orbs to travel in groups, I watched for more, but no more appeared.

Then, at about 8:45 PM, I was looking towards the SSE at a light that was probably a high altitude jet, and in the same general area a bright blue light appeared about 20 degrees above the horizon. It was about as bright as Venus when it's at its brightest. Then less than two seconds later it disappeared without a trace.

Cluster of pulsing, shiny orbs viewed before sunset.

It was approx. 6:30 pm and we were sitting on our patio when we both spotted 2 shiny orbs traveling together, then three, four and then six all appeared to be pulsing a white light, they would cluster together closely, then a couple started moving away. They seemed to get brighter and then fade, then brighter again, one moved away from the group but was still visible. We watched them as they moved in different directions and at one point two of them seemed like they " merged ", but then separated again. After observing this for about 30 mins, they all just simply VANISHED all at the same time, as if someone turned off a switch.........they were there and then they were gone instantly.

Fireballs in the SoCal night sky.

As seen from Long Beach, Ca 90804 looking NE on 6/7/16 between 21:38-21:41.

Moving from the N.E. in the South direction, stalled out then moved directly East.

These 2 objects both had nose profiles (aka wings) as a result of subsonic pressure coefficients. From our vantage point, there was clearly fire engulfing these objects in our fist visible time frame.

Once stalled, there was a direct turn to the East, fire subsided then object faded after an average of 15 seconds of flight time but was still visible with what could been taken as a very high altitude aircraft.

Someone had to of seen these objects, and has photos, or an explanation of what they saw.

I am looking for anyone that was on American Airlines 1116 flight out of LAX on 6/7/2016 as they had to of seen this from their flight..... There was an “U.F.O.” of sorts just off of your port side wing tip and above the aircraft. AA1116 was passing thru 8000' at the time of the spotting.

Ball shaped, green fluorescent blob in Long Beach at the Pike.

This was a ball shaped, fluorescent green light (about the size of a tennis ball). It looked like it was liquid and I saw it roll down the inset corner (where two walls meet) of the Hyatt Hotel building at the Pike. It "rolled" down the outside of the building and I haven't seen it before or since then. Did anyone else see it?

Large bright orange circle, rapidly ascending from sea level straight up in to the stars

My condo is right on the beach. From my window I can see out in to the ocean and the brightly lit loading docs just east of the Queen Mary. Last night, approx 9:20pm PST, I was watching TV and noticed a bright orange circle from my window, moving towards me just above those loading docs.

I looked closely to see if there were any flashing red or white safety lights (like normal man-made airplane) but it was just a solid orange light with somewhat of a fog around it.. (note the night sky was crystal clear a few minutes earlier).. and it was approaching me fast! I grabbed my phone and BOLTED downstairs to the end of street (which sits right on the sand) to get a video. By the time I got there, what was once just hundreds of feet away was now thousands of feet up and same altitude as other airplanes (which you could differentiate by the flashing white and red safety lights).

The bright orange light continued to to move southeast and vertical *extremely* fast towards the stars until it shifted direction, dropped down super fast then faded away. I captured the whole incident on video.. It's very obvious no man made craft can move that fast.

Brightest light in the western clear sky as big as the moon.





On 11/07/2015 @ 18:10 in the western skies of southern California. I noticed a strange unusually , brightest light than anything normally seen in the skies. When I noticed it , I thought it as the moon, it was as big as the moon if not larger, it lasted for approx. 30-40 seconds before it faded from a dark sky blue to the normal shade of blue sky.

When it disappeared it was as if it went behind a cloud but, there was no clouds in the sky at all.

Very strange & weird! My roommate has a picture of the mysterious bright light. I will share if interested contact me.

High altitude bright white light strobe, multidirectional and stationary.

Again tonight, saw a very high-altitude craft which presents a bright white light like a strobe every minute or so. Moving about in the sky just north of me and eventually moved off north-east. Slow strobe of white light approximately 2-3 seconds duration with magnitude similar to Jupiter.

Faster strobe follows in approximately 15 seconds after the first, is of less than 1/2 second duration and significantly brighter than the slow strobe.

This craft may remain in one position for a time or it may move in different directions. I cannot tell if it is in our atmosphere or beyond. It makes no sound. I know of know aircraft, or space craft that behaves as this does.

Have been seeing this phenomenon for over 2 years now, every couple of months or so.

Two strange lights (similar to satellites) following eachother and varying in brightness.

We were stargazing and looking for meteors in the early morning hours. We had seen a couple satellites pass over, when suddenly in the distance there were two lights that were very dim, then grew in brightness. They moved like a satellite, as you could tell they were very far away, but they had no blinking lights of any kind. I'm an avid stargazer and have no trouble whatsoever telling the difference between satellites and anything else. They appeared in the north. They were two lights, perfectly in sync, about a thumbs distance apart when you hold your arm out in front of you. They were so synced I began to think it was part of the same object-if so, it would have had to be HUGE. The leading light stayed the same amount of brightness for about 15 seconds, but the second light became VERY bright. Easily the brightest thing in the sky. The other two in my group all stood up to try to get a better view. And the. It was gone. The second light went out completely! , and the first gradually dimmed until it was out of our field of view. It was not an Iridium Flare, and two satellites do not follow that close together in perfect sync in orbit. I've never seen anything like it, and stil can't figure out what it was.

Walking and saw it over the ocean fixed then they were gone at once.


((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

I was waking from my house to Ralph's ices about 1/3 mile from my house with my 3 cousins on beech street when we stopped to look at 2 fixated lights hovering over the ocean. They were horizontal and triangular, and appeared to me to be at least 1/8 over the oceanfront part of the beech given my proximity. They never moved. . 40 seconds from the time I decided to film it. I snapped one shot across the street, and one second before I confirmed what my first thought was. I was perhaps 2 blocks from the ocean on beech st on and fumbled for video mode. I was able to get the .40 second shot before I saw a direct plane or such pale out or muffle my video.

The occurance of moment left us perplexed discussing coincidence and chance ... After the fact. One of my troupe who is witness is an actuary and is perhaps the best possible person I would have as witness testify On behalf my/our claim.

Equilateral triangle of diffuse, stationary white lights off coast

On the evening of March 20th, my wife and I had an incredible UFO sighting that I posted about here.

Last night we had another UFO sighting. Same part of the sky - south of Long Beach, CA, over the Pacific.

At about 10:05 PM, I went outside to sky-gaze as I often do. It was fairly overcast. The Moon, which sat high in the WSW sky, was shrouded by the low clouds and cast a diffuse glow.

A couple of minutes later, due south and about 30 degrees above the horizon, another diffuse light appeared behind the clouds. It was white and looked similar to how the Moon looked, but it was a little smaller in diameter. It gradually grew brighter, and as it did, two other similar looking diffuse white circles of light appeared, forming an equilateral triangle.

At this point I yelled for my wife, called her on my cell, and knocked on the pane glass living room window to get her attention. She came running out with her i-phone and saw the triangular formation just before it faded out. As those three lights faded out, a brighter and less diffuse white light between where the other three lights were appeared and grew brighter, casting a bright glow against the surrounding clouds. All of the lights were perfectly stationary. She managed to catch that final light on video before it faded about 30 seconds later.

All of these lights were perfectly stationary.

I stayed out for another hour, but I didn't see any more.

Loud military jet precedes 2 fast-moving yellow-orange orbs

My wife and I had a spectacular UFO sighting tonight.

We were all settled in for an episode of Vice (HBO), when I heard a loud whoosh, but I thought it was part of the soundtrack of Vice. My wife exclaimed, "What the hell was that?" So she's looking out the window behind the couch explaining to me that the sound was coming from outside. I followed her as she dashed out the front door.

I could still hear the trademark military jet-type whooshing sound in the distance. It's sort of an irregular pulsating whoosh that starts suddenly and ends as suddenly as it started, and then repeats that maybe five or six times afterwards, the sound fading off.

So we're standing out front looking at the cloudless sky, and I'm telling her "You know, sometimes when military jets are sent low over areas they don't usually don't fly over, it means there was a UFO spotted in the area." And not 30 seconds later, out of my left eye I see a light-orange-yellow spherical-shaped light moving NNE to SSW high in the SSW sky moving SSW through the constellation Orion.

About a second later, as I'm alerting my wife to what I'm seeing, a second light that looked just like the first light appeared about 3" at arm's length to the west, moving exactly parallel with the first light. A second later, the second light faded out, and the first light continued on with its SSW trajectory a couple more seconds and quickly faded out.

I've seen probably 100 meteors, including 2 fireballs, 6 or so comets, satellites. And I've seen some unidentified stuff, too. But this was by far my most spectacular and unusual sighting. I'm 58.

They moved slower than a meteor but much faster than any jet I've seen at that apparent distance.

We both got the sense that the lights were at least 10,000 feet up. They certainly weren't real close.

I got a real good look at the lights. They weren't steady, like light bulbs. Nor did they strobe. They were distinctly round, but diffuse, and they gave the appearance that they were moving behind a sheet of water, or slightly translucent film with an irregular surface. At the point of fade they were maybe 40% of the diameter of a full Moon.

Some years ago when I spent a lot of time during the day at home, quite a few times I'd hear the same identical sound of a military jet overhead or nearby. They're tremendously loud. Only once did I catch a glimpse of it. It was flying north to south towards or maybe past downtown Long Beach, which is due west. I didn't know about the UFO connection back then. I wonder if some (all?) of those incidents were UFO related.

By far the most unusual "object" I've ever seen in the sky.

And I kinda-sorta predicted it. ;)


((ADDENUM FROM WITNESS))

This is a better and more detailed synopsis than the one I submitted to NUFORC a little while ago.

On the evening of March 20th, my wife and I had an incredible UFO sighting that I posted about here.

Last night we had another UFO sighting. Same part of the sky - south of Long Beach, CA over the Pacific.

A couple of minutes later, due south and about 30 degrees above the horizon, another diffuse light appeared behind the clouds. It was white and looked similar to how the Moon looked, but not as diffuse. It gradually grew brighter, and as it did, two other similar looking diffuse white circles of light appeared, forming an equilateral triangle. They were all about a third to half the diameter of a full Moon and two to three finger widths apart at arm's length.

At this point I yelled for my wife, called her on my cell, and knocked on the pane glass living room window to get her attention. She came running out with her i-phone and saw the triangular formation just before it faded out. As those three lights faded out, a brighter light appeared in between where the other three lights were, and grew brighter, casting a bright glow against the surrounding clouds. We could make out a fairly well-defined bright star-like light at the center and the surrounding glow it cast was about three-quarters the diameter of a full Moon. She managed to catch that final light on video before it faded about 30 seconds later.

All of these lights were perfectly stationary.

I stayed out for another hour, but I didn't see any more.

I observed a bright yellow orange fireball with red tinge traveling from the northeast to the southwest.

I walked out into my backyard and I looked up to the east to see a bright yellow orange fireball with red tinge traveling from the northeast to the southwest at a moderate speed in relation to its size and distance from my standpoint. I witnessed the object for 25 to 30 seconds. The fireball then flickered out to reveal a white pulsating light on a dark metal looking object which flashed 3 times and then extinguished all while the object turned course toward the south east and appeared to accelerate at a high rate of speed. I thought what I was looking at could possibly have been Chinese lantern but there were no real true signs of fire and the lantern would have been traveling against any wind currents present from the south. Also, when the object burnt out, it did not fall to earth but accelerated away holding its altitude until it disappeared out of view just as an aircraft in level flight would. I attempted to video the object with the camera on my pho! ne for about 20 seconds zooming in on the object at the midpoint of the filming. The video actually recorded was only two seconds. I was able to get a few good stills out of the 2 seconds of video that I did capture. I have witnessed the approaching fire ball which seems to drop its cargo and run once before on 09/30/09 at around 22:50 hours. The first sighting was far more dramatic and I had two witnesses with me who to this day, still do not believe what they saw.

Morphing objects playing with lights over Los Angeles orange county

Looking south east at night over towards Huntington beach.. I'm on the roof at 6 th floor level. The big balls or round objects were not much higher in the sky.. Not much neck strain! I first saw two yellowish light orangish objects side by side... They then moved above and below each other.

That was about five minutes in the first position. After they formed above and below, another same looking object appeared to the right of the two above and below two! Now there was three.

The new third object split and become two.. Now there was four in total.

The two newer ones also changed position and were disappearing and reappearing as well as the two others. One would fade then come back on.. This went on for a half hour.

The four objects joined to make a side by side symmetrical formation one above and one below it was like a mirror image of each other.

Then two disappeared two stayed for a half hour then disappeared They were huge. Never in 17 years have I seen such big objects and I always sky view! Not sure if it was a huge singular ship doing a light sow or four separate objects! Thank you

06/14/14 Strange light, amazing speed, changed locations

Approx. 10:30 in the eve I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, I normally see air traffic from the airport and view the skies often, this eve I was looking up toward the ocean beach are and noticed an odd light, it wasn't a helicopter or plane of any type. What brought my attention, it was abnormal in color and flickering and standing still just above the horizon. I watched for a few moments then at an unbelievable speed it zipped to the left and stopped, I knew because of the speed it moved it was something to watch. it sat there for a few moments then zipped again this time towards my location, that's when I thought to myself this thing has amazing speed, then all of a sudden it zipped up at an angle again towards my location traveling so fast it disappeared to what must have been the upper atmosphere, it wasn't falling it was climbing at such a speed, that nothing I have ever seen before compared to it. Then 2 days later the local news stations reported! UFO's spotted on or around that same time frame

Motionless silver triangle high in the atmosphere.

Saw something strange the other day while standing in my driveway. A friend of my son's had stopped by to see him, however he wasn't home and his friend and I began talking about U.F.O.'s/aliens. She brought up the subject out of the blue which is even stranger since I had never met her before until that moment.

I looked up in the sky while we were talking and saw a silver triangle high up in the atmosphere. I suppose you could say it was the size of a penny considering the distance.

I pointed up toward the sky and said: "What's that?' She looked up and said she didn't know__then this object 'faded' out.

Further away from where this object appeared, a jet was passing. I wonder if anyone on this jet saw what we did? Guess this is another mystery we'll never find the answer to.

The sky was cloudy that day so I don't know if it just 'disappeared'' or if the cloud cover was the reason it faded.

Nevertheless it wasn't another jet because it was motionless.

LONG BEACH, CA.. interacted with a UFO while stargazing and using a Green high output laser beam.

so i was star gazing in my back yard as i normally do and i come across a star i think is moving that may just be a. i recently purchased a green laser which emits a visible beam 5miles, like what you see in the military. i come across what i think is a satellite . so i point my laser at it and it seems to have moved away from it, i thought i was tripping or maybe had shaky hands so i position myself against my step fathers truck to get a posture while pointing and using my 2 hands instead of one.

Here comes the crazy part. As i start pointing my laser at this object i notice that it is moving and not moving in a single direction as you would see with a satellite. this thing starts moving left, right, side to side almost trying get out of my beam as i point at it, i do this for about 2 mins until i start feeling like i should tell some one but know one at my home was home and nor where any of my neighbors in their backyards .

So what do i do ? well, i thought since i am seeing this and i cant tell know one nor video tape it i get the idea to start circling the object as to attract people to looking at it instead of me pointing a laser directly on it. i want to add that this idea came because i live along side the 710 fwy and i know for a fact people can see my beam from far so i new i can maybe get some people in traffic to see it and i hopefully was successful with that cause what happen next gave me the chills up and down my spine and i still have the chills as i write this. also i want to add that this isn't the first time i seen something i cant identify, but it is the first time i ever interacted with one .

As i start circling the object it get more aggressive to moving away from the light as if knowing i am circling it and in doing so giving up its position , i continue to do so and it keeps trying get out of the circle i put it in, i then notice that when ever the beam would be in front of its direction it will quickly move away from it as if it was scared of crossing it as weird as it sounds. i know this wasn't a satellite nor a plan cause planes cant move that fast nor in the aggressive manner this object moved. I then start to notice that this object is positioning itself over my house , pretty much right over me so at this point i am pointing straight up with my neck looking straight up to the point my neck hurts . i got kinda freaked out at that point even more and start thinking about all abduction movies and thinking maybe this thing is position itself over me to know my location, i don't know but it really freaked me out . now my laser starts dying which emits a le! ss visible beam that can bee seen , at this same time i notice the object starts to also fade but still remains over what looks to me like its directly over me but just in the heavens with the stars pretty much hanging out flying around. my laser then dies and honestly i felt alone at that moment cause i was in complete darkness and it hit me that what i was seeing was real and was interacting with me and my laser beam . i stare at it for a couple mins more , noticing that its not really moving anymore but staying directly above me where it positioned itself in the heavens.

my lasers off,i am in darkness, i start getting more freaked out thinking that maybe its gonna get me , beam me up , i just start thinking of all the movies i seen with people interacting with ufo's which never end well. i wont lie i start feeling fear in me and something telling me go inside the house and recharge my laser. i do so , and decide to report for the first time an experience i have with a ufo that to me is the scariest encounter i have ever had the privilege of seeing . since a kid i have star gazed, i am 29. i have seen many weird things in the skies i cant explain to this day which i am sure allot of people have seen things many times also if they star gaze frequently thru their life . what i saw was real and i really cant explain any more into detail about it but what i explained . i haven't gone back outside my house yet and do plan to after i finish this sighting description . honestly i am kinda scared to go back out and look at the sky and or see if its s! till in the same spot but i am only because of my curiosity and faith that nothing bad will happen to me .

it looked exactly like a dim star or satellite that moves in a single continues lane that many people i am sure have seen . it didn't make any different colors it just stayed white like the stars , it moved quick, it moved away from my laser as if it were scared of it or didn't want to be seen or pointed out. i don't know what it was but know it wasn't a plane . i really wish i had someone over tonight to be my witness . i actually bought the laser because i would frequently see things through out my life in the skies, that i just wanted to finally point them out when star gazing and hopefully show other people . sadly i was alone and still am , my report is done and i hope who ever reads this maybe gets the same idea with the laser pointer and or someone saw a green beam pointing along the 710 fwy at an object moving away from my beam in the skies high above the heavens , at 9:00 pm . this is is not a hoax. hopefully some one has seen something similar or interacted with a ! ufo as i have with a high output green laser beam .

Witnessed two objects in sky during two different occasions flying unnaturally.

Firs: Father driving me to my university (CSULB) when we noticed an object in the sky. Object stayed stationary and began to move in various directions (Ex.back and fourth. We drove ahead and object appeared to move far away in choppy movements.

Second: After witnessing the first, we began entering my university's parking lot, we noticed another object in the sky and this time much closer. Surprisingly the object seemed metallic since it reflected the sun. We passed a few buildings/tress and the object just disappeared. This objected appeared stationary before its disappearance.

white/blue orb disappeared before hitting ocean.

Description: 1 white/light blue orb coming down towards the pacific ocean. The duration was about 5 seconds.

Incident: I usually work a graveyard shift right next to the port of Long Beach, Ca. It's fairly close to LAX and airplanes are constantly flying overhead.

At approximately 0100hrs I was looking south at a 80 degree angle towards the pacific ocean when I saw what i thought was a shooting star. It was clear night sky with no clouds.
It had a distinct white and blue pulse that came down almost like diving into the ocean at a really fast speed.

I've seen plenty of shooting stars in my life and this one did not fit the criteria. What I thought was weird is that it did not came from the atmosphere, it started to light up around the average altitude the airplanes were flying through. Another thing was it did not have a contrail most shooting stars have when they are burning through the atmosphere. Which I though was odd.

I really believed it was going to hit the ocean due to how close it got. At about 1000-2000 feet right before it would've made contact with earth it disappeared.

This unidentified object was something I've never seen before. I could clearlt see the circular shape it had.

White round object seen in Long Beach, California

Around 22:15 Pacific time, I was at home with my family, and my sister was looking out the dining room window when she noticed a circular, white object in the sky. She turned around and called me over to see it but by the time i got there, it was gone. I then began to ask her questions.

The first question I asked was what it looked like. She described it as a white circlular object. She said it looked like a full moon, but smaller. She told me it was no star. It couldnt have disappeard like that if it were any planet.

I then began to do some research right away. I looked for ufo sighting with in the same city and the same month. I then came across a video of a sighting in my city that happened 4 days prior to today. I showed my sister the video and she said it looked exactly like the one she saw. My heart literally sunk thats when i knew i had to report it. I need answers. I want to know what is going on. I just think it's very frightening because the same object was seen in the same city and state 4 days earlier.

I still have trouble believing this myself

While driving north along the western boarder of a city park near our house, we saw an object that was completely unidentifiable.

I was seated in the passenger seat and had a relatively unobstructed view. The object sat motionless in the east. It seemed to be an orb of yellow/orangish light but the color was somewhat muted, similar to the way a Chinese lantern looks. We could clearly see the stars in the background and trees in the foreground.

We made a right turn and travelled by the object along the northern portion of the park. This revealed the objects proximity and elevation, to a certain extent. It was silent, motionless, and the l light intensity remained perfectly constant for nearly a minute. ...weird.

Orange light slowly moving through sky then disappearing

Saw an orange glowing light in the sky northeast of Long Beach. Light appeared to move upward (relatively from observing position) then dim and slowly move downward.

Eventually disappeared, followed by another light that had the same pattern.

Was much brighter than other aircraft in the sky (helicopters and planes).

Most closely resembled a spotlight shining down or an orange flare.

3 Whitish -yellow lights in the shape of a triangle at 1st glance i thought it was a shooting star but it kept going fast and silent.

At approximately 11:40 pm I thought I was seeing a shooting star. It was not because it kept going and it wasn't bright enough. It looked like 3 whitish -yellow lights. I now realize that they were dim because it was so far away. It was moving fast and it was silent. These lights were some kind of craft. I have never seen anything like it before in my life.

I am 44 years old and I have seen ufo's on two other occasions. One here in long beach and one in upstate New York.

There were no flashing or blinking lights like an airplane has and the lights were like the color of a light amber. This ufo that I saw was far away it was in space. I was very lucky to look up when I did. This wasn't some close encounters of the 3rd kind or anything but it was a ufo. The way it looked and the silence. The 3 lights were in the shape of a triangle.

I am sitting outside hoping to see it again but it's too cold. I'm going in the house.

Redish orange ovalish objects. silent. moving up fro behind a big church and then moving north west

I went outside at 4:00 am because my husband was yelling at me to get outside. I saw 3-4 oval in shape but a reddish orange color ufo's in the sky. The glow was more like the light a candle would put off but of course much larger but that kind of a glow not like the light from a headlight or electric light bulb.

There is a large church a block to the east of me. The church has a large steeple. the objectscame up from behind the church straight up and then moved at a slowish speed up about what I would say is maybe a half a mile and moved in a north west direction. The objects came up one at a time and followed the exact pattern of the craft in front of it.

They stopped overhead of us and they just sat in the sky for several minutes. Then they disappeared one at a time. the first one up dissapearing first then the second and then the third and so on. If I had to compare the size I would say about the size of a vw bug. It's hard to say because of the distance and the bright glow and of course I was very excited.

I was waving my arms at them and there was just one left in the sky and just before it disappered it flashed. and my husband/ boyfriend said wow it flashed at you. I was so tripping on it . I tell you, it was great. There is no way this was a lantern or anything like that. the movments were percise and intentional. There was no sound from these crafts at all. silent. It was raining outside not very hard at the time.

Long Beach California November 16, 2012, appeared to be 2 large comets or fireballs over ocean.

Flaming/Sparkling trails with following helicopter over Long Beach, CA

It was approximately 8pm, my wife and I were in the parking lot of a local CVS about a mile inland, and in the southern sky, likely just past the port of Long Beach were (2) flaming/sparking objects flying around criss crossing each other. They were moving slower than planes would move and in a very unusual manner, snaking left and right and crossing back and forth.

Each one had a solid goldish colored light that would stay on the entire time, as well as a trail that looked like a comets trails. Almost like a giant sparkler had been lit and was flying through the sky. The sparkling trail would come on for roughly 10 seconds and then go out on each one. This happened for about 2 minutes as the objects continued to fly south until both the solid gold light and the sparkling trail of each of the two extinguished.

For the entire incident we could see a helicopter a few miles away to the north which appeared to be following the objects, and continued to follow them south until all 3 craft were out of sight.

I spent all night trying to think of what the objects might be as well as search the internet and it appears others saw similar craft, but within the last week.

Overly birght light diving towards ground, no impact,

My self and an assistant were in the car traveling north bound on the 405 freeway approaching the 710 freeway interchange. Out the front window and slightly off to the right side I noticed an extremely unusual light in the sky. I commented immediately upon seeing the light, as it was so strange and moving so very fast that I exclaimed; "WHATS THAT! " while pointing to the moving light. My Assistant saw it too.

The light was not too far away as it was clear and crisp, there was no observable haze or diffused effects of atmosphere to give a sense of a greater depth or distance, the light was only about 2 or 3 miles away at the furthest I think.

I think the light was about 1400 feet off the ground when I first noticed it dropping into the top of my front window's field of view. It was traveling at a very steep angle of attack ( it was diving towards the ground ) and diving at about a 45 degree angle downwards to the right. It appeared to be dropping sideways to me, not coming towards or away from me but perpendicular to my perspective.

The light was traveling at an extremely fast rate of speed when we say it, It was traveling much much faster then even a commercial jet diving at full speed . We lost sight of the object at about 200-300 feet off the ground or so as it disappeared behind a small rise of trees off to our right side of the freeway so we did not get to see how it bottomed out of it's trajectory. It was traveling far too fast to "Pull Up" from the dive.

As we made the gradual turn around the bend of the freeway 8 seconds later and the horizon was revealed to us on the now slightly elevated portion of the freeway we expected to see a fire ball or smoke where the object must have impacted but there was nothing to see.

The total elapsed time of the streaking object must have been only 2.5 seconds total. (From about 1,400 feet elevation down to 200 feet elevation in 2.5 seconds is fast )

The object looked like a jets landing lights when they are facing you. Overly bright and it had an additional blue light on top and green accent light on the bottom, but all the time it was overly bright and cool white light looking.

We also observed that it was not a warm light like a streaking meteor, or something burning up in the atmosphere, and there was no contrail or derbies field in its wake, just a overly bright cool point of light in 3 colors.

Aircraft with white flashing headlights, no other lights, no discernible sound

Okay, this starts out as a pretty boring story, but bear with me – it has an interesting ending. I was standing in our driveway stargazing as I often do. The sky was mostly clear. We're 4 miles south of Long Beach Airport, and the sky was busy as usual with air traffic. One plane caught my attention as it flew south toward the general area of downtown Long Beach about 3 or 4 miles to my west. The only light I could make out was a bright white headlight that flashed every second-and-a-half to 2 seconds. When it reached my latitude, it banked east toward me. Now I could make out 2 white headlights which continued flashing in unison at the same interval. No green lights. No red lights. No other lights. Just 2 flashing white headlights. It was much higher than the altitude police helicopters fly. The 2 lights were about a pinky width at arm's length apart.

At this point I was figuring that it was a plane, and that there was a logical explanation for the missing identification lights. So I took a look at it through my binoculars, and I could make out 2 lights, but before I could bring it in focus it vanished. So then I looked without my binoculars, and after about 4 seconds it flashed once or twice more and then it vanished altogether. The sky was clear. I watched for about 10 seconds. By this time there was a tree blocking my view of where it would be if the plane reappeared, but I was satisfied at that point that it was gone, and that it was a plane with malfunctioning lights or maybe something else. As for its sound, there were several planes in the area at the time and to tell you the truth I wasn’t even focusing on its sound, but I don’t remember any sound coming from it. So I’m not 100% sure. If it made a sound, it didn’t stand out. So I spent the next 15 seconds watching planes, just kind of looking around, and then ! I surveyed the area right above me.

Okay, now here’s where it gets weird.

The plane reappears flying the opposite direction. At least I assume it was the same plane. Same size, same 2 flashing white headlights. I had never seen a plane with that light configuration (I’m 56), so logic told me it was the same aircraft. Then about 2 flash sequences later, when it was directly overhead, poof! Gone.

In all my years of stargazing, I’ve never seen a plane make a 180 degree turn in 15 seconds and then disappear. So I thought that was a little strange.

In the next hour, I saw 2 unusual aircraft, or maybe it was the same aircraft, in the north sky from around Cassiopeia westward. The first of these 2 sightings began as a flash of white light, like a star, in the constellation Cassiopeia. I could make out a dark object either losing altitude or flying NE which flashed again about 3 seconds after the first flash. Then about 3 seconds later it flashed again, and then I lost it behind trees. It travelled about a width of my fist at arm length between flashes.

Then about 15 minutes later, an aircraft with the same description appeared in the NW flying south about 2 miles to my west. It flashed twice, about a 3 second interval, and sometime before the third flash it turned east and flashed about 2 or 3 more times at 3 second intervals and then it vanished. As for sounds, again there were planes in the area but I can’t remember any sound coming from them. So if they made a noise, it didn’t stand out. When it was flying east to west, it looked to be about a mile to my north. Neither of the aircraft appeared to be much more than a thousand feet high.

These sightings happened 5 nights ago. I’ve been watching the skies almost every night since and I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary, just the usual planes and helicopters. And I had never seen anything like that in my life prior to that night.


((ADDENDUM TO ORIGINAL REPORT))

Aircraft with white flashing headlights, no other lights, no discernible sound

This is a correction to the report I submitted Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 00:51:43 Near the end of my report, it should read: When it was flying west to east, it looked to be about a mile to my north.

Independence Day in LongBeach Ca.

As I was driving South. On Paramount Blvd, I was distracted by a strange looking object in the air. When I arived at the corner of Paramount and Market St. In the city of North Long Beach Ca.

The best discription that I can give, is that it looked not much diffrent than the vessels portrayed in the movie INDEPENDENCE DAY. Staring Will Smith. But much smaller. The ones in the movie that hovered over the cities.

So, I pulled over to look and video this vessel with my cell phone. It did not move but a little. it kind of bobbled very slightly. I did not hear any sounds from this ship. All I could pick up in my camara view is the lights flickering.

I did not stay to see the outcome of the event. Because I thought that I could get a better view from my up stairs window. Since I lived about a half mile away. Which would I figured would have put me in a direct line of site with the vessel.
