Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Maxwell, CA, USA

Shape: Formation


Fleet of 8 to 10 lights, 3 at a time appearing, then disappearing.

My wife and I were standing outside, smoking. I looked out to the Western night sky of California and noticed two rather dim lights, one following the other going Northeast. At first I thought one was a satellite but then when I saw the second one I thought maybe they were planes flying behind each other as I've seen many other times. Suddenly I noticed three more far behind it and you can see the distance between them, they seemed as though they were in Earth as I can see the distance between them and their formation. The first two lights suddenly would disappear after a certain distance, then the next three lights in the fleet wood fly on their path and disappear where the other two had also disappeared. Then two more fleets of these three lights what fly along their path and disappear where they all would eventually disappear. They seemed very distant and they did not have blinking lights as planes and helicopters do. I could also not hear any sound of an! engine, and they were also very dim. My wife and I were very confused by this as it seemed very unusual and no reason to believe they were planes or helicopters I stay completely disappeared after a certain point in their path not to mention this was a fleet of about 8 to 10 of these lights.

We live and the northern Central Valley of California and spotted it is towards the west of California possibly out towards the coast.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Large, motionless, thimble-shaped object radiating bright light from big windows, 1000 ft. over I-5.

My UFO sighting began when I noticed an extremely bright light in the night sky over I-5 in northern California on or about 9/21/96, between the towns of Willows & Maxwell. I was driving to work about 9:30 p.m. and saw what I took to be a CHP helicopter illuminating the freeway with a searchlight about 5 miles ahead. (This area is flat and the freeway lies in an almost straight line for miles.) As I drove closer, I realized the light was not circling the freeway but remainded absolutely motionless, and that instead of a searchlight, what I was seeing was radiated light coming from inside some type of large craft or object. It was hovering about 1000 ft. above the freeway and as I drove almost directly under it, I could see it had a "thimble" shape (larger end up). I could view it clearly because of all the light that was coming from the large windows that surrounded it. I thought about stopping for a better look but didn't have a camera (naturally), and also thought to myself, "Sure, get a real good look, like Travis Walton did," so I kept going. I tried to watch it with my head out the window as I passed under it, but almost lost control of the car so I focused on driving and lost sight of it--nothing in the rear view mirror to indicate whether it was still there after I'd passed. There was normal traffic on the freeway that night and I regretted not having a CB radio, because the truckers sure must have been hollering about it...
