Location: Mckinelyville, CA, USA
Location details: Over a field, just off of Heindon road, approximately 40 feet in the air

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Three circular bubble like objects, about 2-3 feet in diameter, hovering about 30 feet off ground, then swiftly moving west

As I turned onto Heindon road I looked left and saw what appeared to be three large bubbles hovering mid air, as I looked closer and watched they were thicker than bubbles and acted differently. As I watched two of them moved west and away from me and disappeared and one stayed in the air, hovered higher slowly moving away from me and then just disappeared. It’s hard to tell if there were lights on the objects or if it was the suns reflection on both left and right sides of the objects.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

20 or thirty lights appearing out of nowhere , evenly space headed east southeast.

Between 05:20 and 05:35 I was preparing to enter my truck on the way to work. As I was putting on my work vest I looked up and saw the stars which is rare in Humboldt co. I then noticed 4 or 5 bright lights traveling east southeast at a high rate of speed. They were evenly spaced and appeared to very high. There was no sound that I could hear. I then noticed there were more following them. Near a star that in bright in the sky I observed these lights appearing what seemed like out of nowhere. on furthure observation I could see these lights appearing as coming out of a fog with a dim light growing rapidly brighter and coming in evenly spaced times and following one after another. This went on from 30 seconds to a minute then they quit. I have no idea how long this went on before I saw them. I was hoping my crew would show up so he could see them too but he arrived too late.

Four red circular UFOs in formation sighted above the Pacific Ocean in Northern California

On the night of April 21, 2017 at 9:03 PM Pacific Time, I walked outside to move my car from the driveway to the street in Humboldt County, California. As I walked outside and looked to the sky, Westward, above the Pacific Ocean, there were four spherical or circular red lights that were very bright red in the center and in a formation similar to the big dipper star constellation. The objects were moving in formation upward and to the right (if on land looking at the Pacific Ocean the objects were moving North). I immediately thought these were four ufos and I should grab my Samsung Galaxy S6 Smart Phone and take a video.

At 9:04 PM Pacific Time, when raising the phone to take video, I took one accidental photograph, containing three of the four mentioned objects. The bottom three were captured. The missing ufo was about 150 degrees from furthest red dot on left in photograph. Although the three lights do not appear completely red in the photo, the four lights in the sky were clearly all red in person.

Upon capturing that photograph and attempting to take one video, the objects seemed to be aware I was capturing them and decided to disperse and slightly break formation and each go upwards quickly. They continued to fly upwards at about a 90 degree angle until I could no longer see the faint red lights. They kept going and going until they faded away above the Pacific Ocean.

This all happened within 1-2 minutes at most. Between 9:03-9:05 PM. The photograph was taken at 9:04 PM Pacific Time.

Orange floating light over McKinleyville

We saw an orange light moving kind of fast towards us, it looked like a plane but then it just stopped, it stayed in one spot for quite awhile and then traveled the other direction, and then disappeared. There was an airplane above it traveling slow.

I actually fly RC Planes with LEDs on them and i can assure you it was not one, even though there are some in the same general area.

Location: McKinleyville, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

An object was seen over the ocean flashing many different colored lights and moving in a quick, unpredictable fashion.

An object was seen to the west (over the ocean) that was flashing many different colored lights. The lights were red, yellow, and green in color. The movement of the object was most peculiar because it moved quickly and not in a straight line. It would move left, then stop, then up, then stop, then right, stop, further right, sudden movement to the left, down, left... there was no particular pattern to the movement, it just didn't look like the movement of an airplane or a helicopter. Myself and one other person watched the object for about half an hour before it disappeared behind a roof line and we could no longer see it. There was no noise, but it may have been quite far away; it was difficult to tell the distance from our home at night. Both observers are college educated, but neither of us are experts in aircraft identification. Would like to know if what we saw was really that strange, or an optical illusion, or what!

Duration: 45 minutes


Location: McKinleyville, CA, USA

Shape:


Man is awakened by barking dogs, and goes outside to smoke. As he looked at the storm clouds overhead, he noticed approximately 50 bright blue objects in the night sky. At first he thought they were stars, but then realized they were moving and occasionally forming into "starlike" clusters. Some moved west toward the ocean, and others appeared to rise up higher in the atmosphere, at which point they would be joined by smaller, green objects, that appeared to fly in from out in space. The larger objects appeared to be emitting a pulsing light. They also seemed to be flying into, and between, the tops of the storm clouds in the area. The observer tired of the events after approximately 45 minutes and went back to bed.

Large (house-sized), slow moving (45-60 mph), low altitude (< 2,000') meteor witnessed spring 1981 N. CA.

This sighting was of a VERY large, slow moving meteor at an altitude WELL below 5,000 feet, probably below 2,000 feet. Depending on the actual altitude (without a point of reference, judging size and distance is difficult on an object), its size could have been as small as a very large cargo truck or cabin-sized house to a medium to large two-storey house. It was travelling on an almost level track (west to east), at an approximate speed of 45-60 mph. There was no trail of any sort. I could clearly see the distinct cragginess in detail. The coloration varied from an earthy brown to black with lighter splotches of tan to white. I could clearly see scorch marks along the leading surface, trailing back about 1/4-1/3 the length of the cuboidal shape.

There were three distinct jets of green fire. One from the edge between the face facing me and the face oriented toward the ground. The second appeared to come from the edge between the face away from me and the face oriented toward the ground. The third came from the upper face, perhaps along the edge of the face away from me. The three jets were all the same size. The first was in the front third, while the other two were almost all the way to the back. The jet facing me sputtered violently, while the others were more of a flicker. The length of flame was probably about 12 - 18 inches, and perhaps 3 - 5 inches in diameter. As the meteor travelled from left to right it rocked back and forth along all three axes.

I was traveling north on US 101 between Arcata and Mckinleyville, CA. I was approaching the Mad River bridge about 15 - 20 minutes before sundown on a Sunday in Feb or Mar of 1981 (I know it was Sunday because I was on my way to church). The Coastal Range was to my immediate right, the ridge about 1,000 - 2,000 feet above the highway. When I saw the meteor out over the ocean, I rolled down my window to try and hear it, and couldn't. When It passed over the trees out of sight (still ahead of me slightly), I tried to see and hear if there was interaction with the trees along the ridge. Again, I couldn't hear anything, and there was no visible indication of fire or explosion. I interpretted this to mean it had passed at least a couple of hundred feet above the closest foliage, or else the radiant heat would have probably caused a fire. On my return trip an hour-and-a-half later, there was no sign of disturbance. I assumed it struck the ground on the east side of the Central Valley opposite the Redding, CA area, perhaps striking the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Range. I watched the papers, and listened to the radio for other reports of this meteor. Although I told a number of friends in the area, I never reported the sighting, primarily because I didn't know to whom or where to make the report. Even this is not truly the best place to report this, but it is the only one that I know of at this time.
