A very very large huge X flying in and out of the blue atmosphere

At 9:50 a.m. PST. While waking up in my RV looking out through the roof event I noticed a very very large (X) in the sky I immediately put my shoes on and grabbed my cell phone and ran outside in my boxer underwears to view this very large object. I called my neighbor and he was able to run outside and view it also! what I saw was a very large huge (X) that was going in and out of the blue sky and the morning sun rising in the east was making the object gleam. I was at aww! witnessing how large this object was. My neighbor and I both watched it from two different locations approximately 100 ft apart it kept a steady path flying West towards the Pacific Ocean coming from the East as it disappeared back into the blue. We kept scanning the sky towards the West never to see the object again until a minute later way in the distance a sparkling Speck sparkled for a second or two I can only think it was the reflection coming from the Sun.

For a whole month strange lights had kept appearing in the sky almost directly above me for a whole month.

I was with my boyfriend at our normal hangout spot in the hills by Vichy springs, when I noticed the first strange bright light in the sky, so I pulled out my iPhone camera and started videoing it, when I looked on my phone camera the light didn’t look like a star at all but more like a sphere with a whole in the middle. Shortly after we drove to Safeway and I saw another strange looking light in the sky once again I pulled out my phone, just a few seconds into recording the video it seemed as though this object started projecting itself in other parts of the sky.. I kept seeing strange things in the sky for about a month and took pictures and videos throughout the whole month. Unexplainable things started happening to my body but I was afraid if I told anyone they would call me crazy so I just kept all of this to myself. It’s been five months now since this happened. And I hadn’t seen these lights at all until a couple days ago.

Lights in the early moring sky!

I went out to get some firewood for the wood stove. I just so happened to look up and I saw a line of lights going across the night sky. There were about three at first, but then more appeared and then went out of sight. All traveling in a straight and perfect line. I tried to record them with my smartphone, but that didn't work at all. I thought they were satellites at first, but I have NEVER seen that many all at once before.

If anyone else has seen this please say something!

A green object came into the atmosphere, Southwestern area of the sky. It fell towards the ground and appeared to be close. This was different than a fireball as the color was a glowing green and seemed to Be cool not hot. It fell in a diagonal pattern and I faintly heard a high pitch sound. The night air was heavy, dense, and dark. The temperature was cool for August; the air had a smell of an overheated radiator. I felt an uneasy energy .

I was walking my dog- heading north on Oak Manor Drive, I turned west going west on Yosemite Drive. I saw a big white static fireball fall vertical from the sky, it fell fast and was glowing white. The only sound I heard was a car or business alarm going off right before it fell.

It was fast and reminded me of a malfunctioning firework object, but 10x bigger. It was 10:10 pm on Monday, June 12, 2017.

Two weeks ago I saw a red fireball fall at around the same time of night but it was a Sunday. I reported that one to the meteor reporting sight. Neither tonights or the one 2 weeks ago looked like a meteor or falling star. I also have authentic photos of other activity, but I'm not reporting that.

Big and very bright object flying low.

A very bright and big round object with colored sparkling lights and a tail of light flew over the hillside across from my house. It was very low, not much over the tops of the trees. It flew pretty much West to East and then turned South at the end of the ridge and disappeared from my sight.

It flew at about the speed of a helicopter but was completely silent.

My dog only noticed it when he saw it(no sound) and growled at it.

Location of viewing southern Ukiah Valley, vineyards east of airport, south of ((deleted)) Brewing Company.

About midnight. Bright point of light (not blinking) just above hills to the west and at first presumed to be a helicopter due to often seeing helicopters at that low elevation coming from the west.

Waited for it to continue on a horizontal path, seemingly towards the east or east/southeast, but that was not happening.

This point of light was about five times the magnitude of brightest stars and appeared to be rising up. At first perhaps at a 45 degree angle.

Then that changed and it clearly was going up straight, steady and not too fast but it was getting dimmer and dimmer and obviously ascending straight into the atmosphere. And, progressively dimmer and dimmer until it just disappeared.

It didn't shoot straight up like a dart; it took about 15 to 20 seconds to disappear. The dot of light easily seen getting dimmer and dimmer, and then just not there anymore.

Pulsing Red Light (orb?) stayed still then moved across the sky and faded away in Redwood Valley

At about 7:45pm I arrived at a house in Redwood Valley from Ukiah and was admiring how clear the night was and how many stars there were with a friend. I didn’t notice it at first, but all of a sudden I saw a very large red/orange light.

At first I thought maybe it was Mars, since I somewhat remember being able to see a faint red glow of a planet in Los Angeles – where I am from. But I started thinking that it was too big to be a planet. My friend and I didn’t know what to make of it and both tried to take a photo – which didn’t work because all we had were our phones. Then the bright star looking thing starting moving across the sky at a controlled speed that was fast, but not super fast, and pulsing slightly – so slightly I could barely tell it was even happening. After about 15 seconds it stopped moving and began to fade until it was gone and I was back where I started admiring the sky. My friend and I were at separate functions before this, we do not do drugs, we come from complete different backgrounds (SoCal and Massachusetts) and we saw the exact same thing.

Bright but silent slowly moving light with occasional red flash low in sky east of Ukiah, CA

My husband and I were outside last night in the hot tub around ten pm, pst, and saw what looked like a bright star low in the sky east of Ukiah. As we watched it we noticed it was actually moving, sort of hovering, very slowly. We observed it for up to two hours slowly making its way west. I mean it was inching forward. Every now and then a tiny red light flashed behind it. If I didn't know any better I'd say it was a helicopter - we live under the flight path to our small, rural airport, but it moved so slowly and steadily that it didn't like a helicopter and we certainly didn't hear any helicopter sound. It was silent. After a few hours we went to sleep - it was till there. Would love to know what it was. We typically go for a quick soak every night and get used to seeing satellites and what not. This was different...it was too close to be a plane or satellite.

The dogs started barking. I walked outside to find my husband and happened to glance up b/c a light caught my eye. I continued to watch closely as this "mini-sun" looking fireball was moving slowly just above tree line - not high at all. It bobbed back and forth as it moved up the mountain. It was so close. I watched in disbelief. I was not frightened at all but very curious.

I live northern California. My brother, his wife, and I have been seeing these lights in the sky. The one light that sits above the mountain it mostly stays in one spot, ecept it dances around kind of like a firefly. It will separate and then come back together.

The other lights are about as big around as a baseball and they fly in formation. There are a lot of these and we see them almost every night.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Large Triangle Sighting over Oregon High Desert.

Typical Triangle, Dull lights where not bright. Typical white light on front, red lights on the ends and red in center, No lights where flashing. Triangle was approx the size of 1 foot ball field and the craft was completely scilent hovering from east to west about 500 feet over our heads/camp. From the direction it was traveling it would not have gone over any major town. Speed of the Triangle was very slow. Our camp was about 4,817 feet elevation, Very flat land at this elevation. We could see the Object comming from a long ways away continued right over our heads/camp and onward. slowly. from the point where it came within our view to the point where we could no longer see it was about 5 minutes.

Please contact me and let me know if you have any other sighting reports same area, time, date ect. I am very curious to hear if others saw the same object. I am not very sure of the exact date but we all looked at our watches so we do know the time.. Please contact me return the favor and give me some answeres..

I have heard of these triangles many times but till then never had seen one my self. Nor have I heard of them over Oregon so I would have never expected it.

One of the Guys in our camp was retired from the Airforce, His opinion was the reason we could tell it was not a typical craft was the size and how quiet it was. His exact words was "If it would have been more light flashing, loud sound, and traveling faster I would think it is a transport plane, these few details make it absolutely unconventional".

Again Please get back to me to tell me if you have any other reports of this Particular Object, time, Place, Date, details, ect..

Thank you..

He just got back to maui and I was showing him the spiral over Norway and the Pyrmid over Russia when He told me of the Triangle he and his camp saw twice. Of course I advised that he report it to help support UFO investigations. He is not so good at typing so I had him tell his own words and I typed them out for him and continued to help him with this online report. As part of my own personal investigation I ask that you get in contact with me and let me know of any other sightings that may be related to my fathers Triangle sighting.

We saw a big saucer coming down towards us and it went away fast.

It was around 12:00am to 1am and my cousin and I went to the park to look up at the stars like always. We were laying on the grass at a school near my house, about a few minutes later- we saw something coming at us in the sky, it was oval shaped, and looked like a disk or saucer. It had yellowish windows that seemed to change color to an orange-red. It had tons of little windows the whole thing looked like a cartoon. It came right at us and became 20 feet away. We were so scared and ran off- we started to scream and cry. We had left our phone so we went back for it, but we found it in our pocket. By that time it had left, but we ran home. When we got home we told my sister and my other cousins. They didn’t believe us at first, but we looked so scared that they did. It seemed like we were almost abducted. We have seen many of these crafts before in the sky in a great distance, but this time it was coming towards us. We have probably seen about 20 UFO's i! n the years 2008 and 2009 all together.

Object traveled east to west veered north was very bright and the weirdest thing is that it seemed split into 2 objects

I observed object as i exited my home i looked up at what appeared to be an overly bright planet In the distance it appeared red in color it did not blink,and it looked like it had a headlight that beamed forward that diminished about a minute and a half to two minutes in to sighting. At this point the object was white and quite bright I used my binoculars and was able to see two dimmer flashing red lights on the object, at this point the object was traveling North away from me i continued to watch the object and approximently two minutes after heading north it got slightly dimmer (i could still see both the white constant lights and the flashing red lights)this is when the object appeared to split into two different objects, with one veering west-northwest, and the other heading more north but veering East. At this point i lost sight of the objects. There were a couple children and one adult neighbor who i believe may have seen the object. I want to say that this is a VERY BRIEF explanation of what i saw this evening. I would feel much better to be able to physically explain these events. I know what i saw, and i have never seen anything like this before. The object did not appear to change speed, it was not moving fast at all which made observing this object unusual, i tried to photogragh it with my camera in my cellphone, but it was to dark (i still have 1 photo stored in phone) I hope that i can explain this experience to someone who can transcribe it. I believe what i saw, a just don't know how to write it. I am willing to talk to someone who is willing to do this. I want to follow through with this, I want to KNOW WHAT I SAW.............................THANX

Location: Ukiah, CA, USA

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

High velocity craft flying parallel to freeway.

While travelling South on US-101 at 5:50 AM, several miles north of Ukiah, CA, a small cluster of lights came swooping in at a shallow angle in the opposite direction in front of me, on the east side of the road. It was moving faster than I would expect a plane to move, and at first I thought it must be a meteor. As it sped by me, I could see that it was in fact some sort of craft.

While on the approach, I could only see a few smallish cluster of bright lights, looking at it from behind, I could see a rectangular grid area strongly lit, most likely the propulsion system.

As I continued to look at it in my rear view mirror, I saw that it quickly slowed down, and the rear grid greatly increased in brightness. Soon after that it disappeard from view, probably around the side of the bank of the road.

The craft couldn't have been more than 100 feet above the ground, more likely 50 feet. After realizing that it wasn't a meteor, the next logical conclusion would be that it was a low flying aircraft, but it was moving quite fast, much faster than 100 miles an hour. I was only able to see it for about three seconds, even though it was running parallel to the road. Even though at its closest it couldn't have been more than 300 feet away, it never made even a glimmer of a sound. However, my windows were up at the time.

The lit rectangular grid region on the back of the craft was unusual, however, and I can't quite think of anything I've previously seen that would describe it. Its flaring up as the craft quickly decelerated was also odd.

It was moving so fast, and traveling so close to the ground, that the pilot must have been using night vision, or else have been extremely fool-hardy.

THE CLOUDS WERE NOT THICK OR SOLID, I LOOKED AT MY CAR CLOCK AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS 4:43 P.M. I TURNED BACK TO CHECK OUT THE SUNSET ABOUT 2-3 MILES IN THE DISTANCE (APPROXIMATELY) AND NOTICED (3) THREE SHAPES COMING OUT OF THE CLOUD COVER, THE FIRST ONE WAS FULLY VISABLE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLY A HOT AIR BALLOON COMING OUT OF THE CLOUDS, BUT THEN IT BECOME FULLY EXPOSED AND I SAW IT WAS AN EXTREMELY LARGE CIRCULAR GRAY SHAPE WITH A MASSIVE DOME TOP, THE OTHER 2 WERE THEN EXPOSED AND I SAW THE THREE HUGE SHIPS JUST BEFORE THE CLOUDS CAME AROUND THEM AGAIN. INSTANTLY THEY SHOT ACROSS THE SKY TOWARD THE SUN AND THE COAST AT A SPEED THAT I CAN'T EVEN DISCRIBE.

AS I SAT AND WATCHED, THERE APPEARED 3 MORE HUGE CIRCULAR SHAPES HOOVERING IN THE CLOUDS AND THEY ALSO SHOT RAPIDLY IN SUCCESSION TOWARD THE SUN, DUE WEST.

gituar pick shaped object traveling north that was very thick and larger than the valley

please dont take this as a hoax report. i swear on my life as a human being that this happened. i have one other witness out of myself and 2 friends. the third friend was drunk, and therefore called us crazy. we saw it. it happened. i dont know how else i can prove it to you other than saying this is a true story.

myself and 2 friends were sitting in a field on the southern end of town. one friend looked up exclaiming about the huge object above us. i looked up and all i saw was a red dot moving approximately 100mph in a northern direction. as i kept looking at it i realized i could not see stars around the red light. as the object passed i noticed the sheer thickness of the craft. approximately 10-30 stories thick. as it passed overhead the stars appeared behind it. the back of the craft had 3 huge round engine looking things almost like the engines on the battle cruisers off of star wars. other than that it appeared to be flat on the bottom with what looked like windows on the sides. very small though due to the sheer size of the object. after it passed overhead it drew a warm breeze to the north on a nigh in which there was no wind at all.

this is the first time ive seen an object that was larger in scale than the town or even the valley that i was in. it traveled probably a mile overhead at the very most. it was very low to the ground in comparison to the sheer size of the object.

Glowing pink object moving through sky at sunset

I just came across your website and wanted to submit this event as best I can remember. About a month ago my friend and I went for a evening walk on the Coyote Dam at Lake Mendocino CA. It was around 8:30pm daylight savings time and the sun was just setting behind the mountains on the opposite side of the valley. As we were walking I looked over at the sunset area where the sky was still glowing a soft pink and saw a brilliant illuminated pink object. At first I thought it was a lone stray cloud that was glowing from the sunset. Upon watching the object I realized that the brilliant color of the glow seemed to come from a super reflective surface that was much brighter than any cloud glow Ive ever seen before. Not to mention there were not any clouds in the sky at the time.

I pointed the object out to my friend and we began to watch it. She was as amazed as I was. We talked about it for some time while watching it and debating what on earth it could have been. It was moving very slightly; so slow that you couldnt really notice it at all. At one point it began to move faster, but still very slow... and MUCH slower than any of the planes that fly over the valley. As the sunset got darker the object stayed bright glowing pink. It was sort of a diamond/cylinder shape. It was quite a distance away from us. As we continued to watch the object we noticed it had a red and white light that would randomly blink on the surface of it - not at the same time... each light would go off differently at different times with no obvious pattern. The object moved closer to us in a south/east direction and then began to move away in the direction it had come. It got smaller and smaller and then immediately vanished as if it hadent been there at all.

It was not a dramatic display but it was unlike any airplanes or craft we have seen before. Not to mention the fact that it was flying in such a strange and slow flight pattern. No one else walking on the dam seemed to notice it or watch it the way we were.

Location: Redwood Valley, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

High altitude brightly lit fireball with a brightly lit trail which ended in a huge explosion/disintegration, seen in the southern sky.

I was looking south, at the rising moon and noticed what looked like a very high altitude aircraft proceeding northwest.

As it travelled across the sky, it was leaving a brightly lit trail like a contrail behind a jet. The object was bullet shaped, like the fuselage of an airplane. It seemed to be very high in the sky, like when you see jets way up there. It appeared very bright against the darkening sky of dusk, as if it was the source of the light, not just reflecting the setting sun.

The trail it left was lit up too...it was different from a regular contrail in that it was much wider.

After watching for about 15 seconds, it emitted a huge burst of this trail. It kept going for another 45 seconds or so, then suddenly burst into a huge explosion, like fireworks display. It seemed to just disintegrate. The trail it left was visible for several minutes after, appearing to be blown into a curved shape by winds.

White light, blinking red lights, it moved all directions, hoovered for 40 mins. there was no sound then it slowly moved away and faded

I was sitting on my back porch looked at the stars noticed a bright one that seemed to be twinkling a bit more than the others and was rather low. Then I noticed that there was a red twinkle upon it as well, so I assumed it was a plane or helicopter, but it didn't move and there was no sound. Then it moved, upward and digonal. I watched it for approximately 5 mins. and noticed it seemed to be floating, swaying on occasion very silightly. Then I had my spouse come outside to look as well. We watched it hoover off in the distance, in the same general vicinty, moving left and right, in circles, etc. But not in an exagerated manner. It would leave brief and light tracers behind it when it moved. I couldn't see the shape, as it was very dark and it was in the distant sky. It was slightly brighter than the brightest star with a red twinkle that seemed to move to different locations around the white light. There was a haze around it, a glow, like stars have. We watched it together for almost an hour or so, then it started to move up, right and away and faded away gradually. Until it looked like just another faint star and then disappeared completely.

The circle looked as if it may have been the exhaust of a missile/rocket (very white as viewed from below). There were vapours/gases streaming from 5 o'clock position. Interesting contrail in the sky at end of sighting looked as if something was trying to make physical contact with object i.e air to air missile. Contrail was convaluted all over a small area of sky. Heard in the paper the next week that there was a minuteman missile succesfully shot down by anti-missile......was this what we all saw? 7 witnesses on deck at b-b-q all saw phenomenon (I thought for the first minute that we were actually seeing a fireball coming straight for us, thankfully not) Please contact and give verification that it was the missile test please.

UFO over Ukiah, sphere with beams coming out from it...then I forgot the entire sighting until I saw a report in the paper

I was driving home after dark listening to the radio. It was either the night of Nov. 18, 1978 or Nov. 27, 1978...the 18th was the day of the Jim Jones People's Temple killings and the 27th the day of the Mayor Moscone/Harvey Milk killings in SF. I had been listing to news of Jim Jones on the radio all week, then of the Moscone/Milk murders, so I am a little mixed up as to which night it was, but am pretty sure it was the 27th, because it was the 2nd huge event in a week. (The sighting was reported in the Ukiah Daily Journal on the front page the next day, after being reported by others). I was driving south on Hwy. 101 just south of town...1/2 mile, after dark listening to the radio. Then I noticed that the top of my windshield was lit up a little. I looked up and there was a cloud which seemed to glow. I pulled over to get a better look at it and noticed a hitchhiker up the road from me about 300'. He was looking up too. I got out of the car and this huge cloud looked as if the moon was behind it, but the moon was behind the mountains to the south east and hadn't risen over them yet. As I watched, a sphere began to show inside the cloud. There was no sound at all. Then beams of light came out from it like a Star of David over Bethlehem. At first it seemed more like a religious experience. I felt this overwhelming feeling of awe. Then I looked into my car at my camera on the seat thinking that I should take pictures. But, amazingly i didn't. I have no idea why i didn't and after I thought to get the camera, I have no recollection of thinking about the camera again. The cloud seemed to clear and I could see this ball of light. Then the beams went back inside the sphere and the clouds went around it again and it moved west and back around the mountains. I was so amazed and jumped in the car to go home. I was thinking, "Wait till I tell ((name deleted)) (my sister) about this. I also thought I would pick up the hitch hiker and ask him about what he saw. I don't remember driving past him or seeing him, or don't remember anything about the 5 minute drive home until I pulled up to my mailbox. I went into the house with NO memory of the saucer!!! I never called my sister about it. I didn't think of it or remember anything about it. I just turned on TV and that was that! But, the next day when I got the paper, here was the story. Other people had seen the same thing. Then, when I saw that story I though, "What? I saw something too, why didn't I remember that?" I was dumbfounded! It took about an hour for me to get the details to come back to me. At first I just knew I saw the cloud with some shape and it took the hour for it all to come back. Then I couldn't believe I had forgot it and didn't pick up the hitchhikier, didn't take a photo and didn't call my sister and didn't even remember this...one of th emost amazing experiences of my life! So, they must have done something to block my memory. I have no idea if I lost any time either. I also saw a UFO when I was a little boy north of Buffalo in Niagara County, at night. Then my sister and neighbor saw it again over the woods the next day. But, the article may still be on file on microfilm at the Ukiah library or at the daily journal. I have seen photos of the same thing from Mexico City and Montreal.

1978 sphere inside cloud over Ukiah Valley, Ca beams of light radiated out from it after a few minutes

I was driving home thought the Ukiah Valley and the top of my windshield was lite up. I looked up and a cloud had a light inside of it. I pulled over and a hitch hiker was also looking at it about 1/2 mile down the road. At first it was a cloud but little by little I began to see a sphere. Then beams of light came out like the star of Bethlehem. I didn't know what was happening. I had my camera on my car seat and thought to take a photo but for some reason didn't. Then it slowly drifted to the west and went behind some hills but the sky was glowing about the hills. I drove home and by the time I got there I had forgotten all about it! The next day the Ukiah Daily Journal had a front page report of dozens of people reporting it. Then I remembered but couldn't get the details. It took days for it all to come back. I have also seen the same UFO in photos over Montreal and Mexico City.

Numerous accounts of a UFO sighting

The event was revisited in interviews conducted by my brother, who also witnessed this. My brother is a longtime resident of the Mendocino area. His podcast mainly focuses on local issues, human interests, and residents. The area is one where everyone knows everyone else's business. Because of this, and his longtime participation within the community as a teacher, performer, and activist, he assembled a group of interviews from people who all had separate accounts, from different places of this shared event. There are no pictures or film/video to share, only the interviews. But I felt it was compelling enough to share on this site. I think what these separate people witnessed may serve as corroboration to an existing account of this story.

Location: Westport (about 10 miles North of, US Hwy.1), CA, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects

Three humongus craft with about 30 saucers about them loading and unloading something.

I was stuck at Usal Beach (on the road going out to US Hwy 1) after finally getting unstuck and traveling to Hwy, 1 I went South and at the top of the hill just before going down to the ocean I stopped to have a ciggarette and let my friend behind me catch up. When he did catch up he got into the cab of my truck and we talked a bit trying to decide where we would camp for the night. We decided on Union Landing, about 2 miles above Westport on Hwy 1. While setting there alongside the road I noticed a blue light like electric arc welding flashes in the trees ahead. I thought another fisherman was up late working on his boat. Upon finishing my smoke we pulled out onto the road and started down towards the beach and union landing. When I came to a point abreast of where the lights were I looked over to see what kind of a boat etc. the supposed fisherman was working on. There was no boat, no house, garage or anything else. The terrain dropped off steeply and I had a view of the ocean. I was up about 800 feet above the ocean and looking out at one hell of a sight: 3 large ufo's, each big enough to put the Kibby Dome in (the Kibby Dome is a Football Stadium at The University of Idaho at Moscow, Idaho) as I said there were 3 of them they were the shape of a childs top or a beet. They were staggered one in front of me another further out and to the right and the third to the left of the first two and further out still. From my position on the Highway the first was a mile from me the second aboutthree miles out and the fourth about five miles out from me. I saw two or three white light saucers to the left of the first big ship. The second ship had none or maybe one about it but the third big ship had about thirty saucers around it. The big ships were outlined with pink lights and the saucers were solid white light colored. What was happening as far as I could determine was that the saucers were taking turns going into the bigger craft, one would come out and another from outside would go in. I watc! hed this for about 15 minutes, all the time trying to describe to myself what they looked like and what it was they were doing. Finally I got into my truck and went the 5 or so miles to the ocean(the road wound down to the place where it followed the contour of the ocean). Upon arriving at the ocean I could not see the UFO'S at all. They had left. I then continued on down Hwy. 1 to Union Landing where I made camp and stayed for 30 days. The next morrning we saw 1 or2 F-4 Phantoms flying at about 100 feet elevation and going up the coast. They were very close to the coast, 1/4 to 1/2 mile.

Seperating points of light

This may seem really silly to you, but it's what I saw. I was very sceptical about this sort of thing but this convinced me. We were camping at a hunting reserve in Ukiah. We were all camped out in the middle of the night, looking at the stars, laying back in our sleeping bags. I was seventeen at the time and didn't care about anything but the blonde in the bag next to me. We watched a point of light go east to west high up in the sky. I thought it was a satillite; we saw them all the time. This particular one cruised across the night, stopped dead cold, a second point of light seperated from it, went due east, and the first light sped off north and disappeared. The other light sped off east rapidly and disappeared over the horizen. I knew these two objects were not in the atmosphere. Go figure. Not much, I agree, but enough for me to look at things a bit different. Maybe other folks have seen something similiar; I'd be curious to know.



NUFORC Note:

Date and time may be approximate. We have many reports on file that are similar to this one in several respects. Satellites almost invariably do not orbit to the west, with only very few exceptions, e.g. the Soviet "Molnya" spacecraft. PD

Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Ukiah, OR, USA

Shape: Oval


Orange oval 40 ft in diameter, twenty ft off the ground, appoxumate 100 ft from me.

I was approximately 6 y.o. I felt I should write this, after all these years because I am still fascinated, awed and scientifically curious. This changed my focus all my life.

It was in the fall, I do not remember the exact time or date, so the are rough estimates. My mother and I were driving over to the Pilot Rock, OR, area to meet my Dad and uncles there. We were all staying in a large cabin .

During the road trip at night, my mom and I saw a distant orange light slowly approaching from our left side of the road. It moved smoothly and steadily towards us. It silently kept getting closer, its height matching the rolling hills and uneven terrain with a precise and unchanging distance from the ground.

My mother pulled our car off to the side of the road. It was clear, I could see stars and there was dead silence, no wind.

This oval, solid orange object came right up to us, never slowing down, moving very slowly. (About the speed of a avarage running man). I looked into it with awe, it had no markings, solid color, not even a variation of orange. Its luminescence was not to bright that I could not look at it. It was bright, but it did not illuminate much of the ground around it. It kept getting closer. Close enough I think I could have hit it with a rock. It compared in size to. Softball held at arms Length from you. It was about 20 feet off the ground. I would guess it was about 40 ft in diameter (oval) and had a vertical length of about 10 ft (maybe slightly more) it had no sound.

This object continued to move steadily past us. After it was out of sight, we got into our car and drive to the cabin. I kept looking for it and notice it was trailing our right side in the trees lines quite a distance away. I could see glimpse of it until we turned left onto a gravel road, drove a bit longer and we were at the cabin.

Never seen anything like it since. I have only told my family until now. My mom remembers and we talk about it once in a while, but she does not tell anyone.
