Yellow Orange light seen over Mission Viejo slowing moving hovered and dissapeared

On Saturday 8/3/24 at about 9:00PM from my driveway looking at a southwest direction I noticed a brighter than normal yellowish orange dot in the sky. I thought it was a helicopter or airplane at a distance, but I did not observe the normal red flashing or green flashing strobe indicators from an aircraft, this was light yellow or orange in color and not a star or planet but much brighter than a star and moving. I thought maybe it was a flare or fireworks, but the light was moving slowly in a north, northeast direction and did not burn out like fireworks would. It also wasn't a satellite because it seemed to come to a stop when it was directly overhead. It seemed to twinkle or pulse brighter and dimmer, I did not hear any sounds like a jet or drone sound, I pulled out my phone and recorded video and observed it moving slowly in this direction until it seemed to stop just overhead in the sky. I continued to observe it overhead and it seemed to move around a bit overhead, stopping then moving a bit sideways and back and forth. Then it appeared to pulse and dim out and get bright again, which it then started to move in a southward direction slowly stopping then starting again in that direction. I kept it in the corner of my eye and tried to get my wife to come out to observe it, but it seemed to disappear moving in a southward direction.

Large panel glowing blue

Looking down the street, about 300 feet away, in the back of a eucalyptus tree, I saw a large glowing blue square, divided equally in 4 parts. It looked to be about 8-10 feet across and about 30-40 feet from the ground. Suddenly the top right square emitted a very powerful, bright and beautiful blue light. After about 3 seconds the light stopped. There was nothing behind the tree, whatever that was had gone. There was enough light in the sky to see if something had been there.

Location details: Painted Trails Community near Upper Oso Reservoir

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

Red light and flashing green light moving rapidly across the sky too fast for a plane, and behaving unusually.

I was with my family a group of about 25 people standing on a path above Upper Oso Reservoir, at the southwestern most end, watching fireworks directly south across the canyon. I noticed a red light coming from the direction of the fireworks and rising into the sky. It had a green blinking light next to it. At first I thought it was an airplane, but I noticed it was moving very fast, much too fast for a plane, and appeared lower than a plane. It moved toward the group and crossed nearly overhead. Its arc appeared to break slightly to the west more than once, and this movement was unlike that of a plane. The most unusual behavior was this: when it was more or less overhead, the blinking green light split into two lights, which separated and moved forward and away from the red light in a "v" pattern before going out. This happened a few times before I lost sight of it behind a house. At that point I saw a that gentleman behind me watching it as well, and I said, "what was that?!" but he said nothing. I don't know if anyone else saw it. Everyone was watching the fireworks. I did not mention it to anyone, and have been looking for other accounts online, but have not found any. I do not believe it was an airplane, helicopter, or drone. It was most definitely not a firework. There was no sound that I could hear.

Helicopter seen following an elongated teardrop UFO

When driving North, onto the 5 Freeway onramp from La Paz Road, to the West I saw a Huey type helicopter following an elongated teardrop shaped vehicle. They both were about 500 feet above ground, and heading North. The UFO shined a very bright whitish light for 3-5 seconds. The UFO was gray overall, and both were about 1 mile away. I saw no details on the UFO, other than the teardrop shape or outline.

I lost sight of both after 30 seconds, as the tree line obscured them. A minute later, I caught sight of the helicopter again, still on a Northerly heading, before it turned to the West, but the UFO was nowhere to be seen. No idea where it went, or how.

UFO small shiny object moving in every direction

This was a small shiny object moving in every direction at an incredible speed. I noticed it when I looked up during daytime. I do not remember the exact time. I noticed it at the Mission Ranch Market parking lot. This was definitely not an airplane, helicopter, or any flying object known to me because it was very high up (thus seemed small) and moved in every direction. I hope you can spot it in the attached clip.

Vibrant, blue/purple fireball hovering and spanning across the night sky in mission viejo

I was sitting in my room on my bed watching a movie and my window is directly in front of me to the right of my television which gives me a perfect view of the sky. I am able to see planes fly by quite frequently, so I am very familiar with what planes appear to be in the night sky.

However, what I saw can be described as the following: A vibrant, bright blue-ish purple fireball with a very clear blue aura, almost 4 or 5 times the size of what the planes usually appear as in the night sky, which made me feel it was extremely near by.

Initially, the colors and abnormal appearance of this object is what caught my attention and got me off of my bed to take a closer look, but the thing that made me rush for my phone to take a video was when it had stopped in the sky and started to move backwards, or in the opposite direction it was originally moving in I should say.

It continued to stop and hover, then move up and down in such smooth, swift, and effortless transitions. It was clear that this object was capable of moving at speeds much faster than any aircraft known to this planet just by the range it covered every second it was in the sky.

After 3 minutes, I lost view of it after it passed behind a tree so I rushed downstairs and out the front door to see if it were still there to get a closer look but it was gone.

Then i noticed the usual planes in the sky which gave me even more reassurance that this flying object was, without any hesitation, my first UFO sighting.

I have a 2 min 42 second video of my sighting.

DETAIL IN THE ZOOM of a bright round fast moving object (might show glimpse of the propulsion of these objects) SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY CA

Captured on video a bright round object moving away from Dana Point towards Mission Viejo.

On December 7, 2014, I saw an object gliding across the sky, but it was as small as a star & I couldn't see anything on the video recorder at all. Oh well.

Since I saw this Sunday night, I decided to go out the following night Monday, Dec. 8, 2014. I propped up the tripod, opened the lens cover, then unfolded the view screen on the video recorder & already had the settings at the extra zoom. The second I finished this, I looked straight up & there was a bright, white round object headed in the direction of Mission Viejo. (it could have turned after it was out of my view though) As soon as I realized it wasn't a plane or helicopter, I immediately started capturing the object. It was tough keeping the recorder still. Probably because it was moving so quickly. For a moment as it passed by a star, I stopped to view that star (duh) then corrected by returning to the UFO & before it was out of view I held my breath & zoomed in to the maximum level & captured some amazing detail. I'm guessing this could be the very first video capture of these bright round objects, showing the propulsion it uses, I haven't seen one photo or video on all of the internet of this same detail. Also, I have several daytime captures showing what I believe is a match to what this thing looked like up close. If anyone else saw this please post up a video! When I zoomed out a little, it looked a bit purple-ish & brilliant white when I zoomed a bit closer. The interesting part isn't even the bright round object itself since there are a gazillion all over the internet on video, but rather what I captured in the zoom. It was flying low enough to see it was NOT a plane or helicopter. The close zoom also confirms it's not a plane or heli. either. It's pretty amazing. Seems we're getting a wave of these objects all over California right now. I just got really lucky where I had my finger right next to the record button the second I saw it. I could kick myself for not starting the capture right away but I only lost a few seconds. I'd sure have loved to get that super-zoom when it was right over my head. Sure would have been nice if it was moving slower to pose for my video (lol) It's possible when they are moving slowly, they aren't transparent or can decide when they are.

V-shaped Translucent Airship Above Spotted Bull Way

09/13/14 approx 8:30 a.m.

Driving southbound on I-5 approaching Avery and I-5/73 interchange, above Spotted Bull Way, below the clouds.

While driving, I saw something I’m unable to explain.

A flash of sunlight caught my attention. I looked up to see the sunshine bouncing off the clouds through a V-shaped translucent craft with a large bright circle at the rear of each wing and at the nose of the craft with smaller circles between them.

As quickly as it appeared, it disappeared. It was invisible before I was able to pull over to safely take a picture.

Flying grid of electrical light, traveling at roughly 25 miles per hour, and about 40 feet above the ground.

This evening, Wednesday August 8th, 2018, I was watching a video on YouTube entitled Chasing NASA’s U-2 Over Trail Of 1000 Giants by the ‘UFO Seekers’. In this video they mentioned your organization – one which until tonight I was unaware of.

Currently, I reside in a small Canadian town in rural Saskatchewan, but back in 2014, I was living and working in Lake Forest/Mission Viejo, California. At this time, I was living in Lake Forest and commuting roughly 2 miles to work (A night shift job for Ralphs Supermarket) into Mission Viejo to the South.

The UFO I saw was interesting, to say the least. I’m quite familiar with the stories and videos of glowing orbs, cigar shaped and disc shaped objects, but what I witnessed did not fall into any of these categories.

I cannot remember the exact date, but it was the latter part of summer in 2014 (I returned to Canada in October of 2014, and this event occurred about two months prior to that time.) at roughly 10:00 p.m. The sky was clear on this evening, with little if any wind, and out of habit I was driving with both of my side windows rolled completely down.

The Orange County Sheriffs made it a habit of parking their cars in some of the parking lots in and along Trabuco Road (Orange County) as part of their regular patrol duties, so I was always a bit more cautious when I saw their cars, and on this evening there were several in their usual places.

As I was approaching the intersection of Trabuco Road at Alicia Parkway, and slowing to stop at the red light, a grid (or matrix) of electrical light appeared and was moving (flying) from behind me and to my right. It was roughly 40 feet above the ground, traveling at about 25 mph, and moving in a Southeast direction. As it moved there was a distinct sound of electrical discharge – similar to that given off by a downed power line. The forward movement of this object was caused by what appeared to be a continuous reshaping, reappearing, and forward rotation of the grid’s lines of electrical light. While the entire object never completely disappeared, some of the lines would but they were quickly replaced by one or more lines of similar length. The thickness of the lines seemed to vary a bit – especially while they were forming.

My first thought was (Wow) I need to get a better look at this! But I was in a moving car and slowing for a red light. (And I did not need to be ticketed, much less arrested for telling the police a story they would never believe!) I was almost at a stop, when the light turned green, so I proceeded into (and driving through) the intersection at Trabuco Road and Alicia Parkway. The Ralphs (now closed) was on the southeast side of the intersection in a large strip mall. As I proceeded through the intersection I noticed that there was a grid or matrix of light moving up, down, and around the street light post on the Southeast corner of the intersection. It changed colors as it did this, alternating from red to green to amber, but not necessarily in that order.

Anyway, when I got into the parking lot, I hurriedly drove over to and parked in the closest stall nearest this corner and got out of my car. I approached the street light post with some trepidation, but I guess curiosity overcame my fear. Unfortunately there was nothing to observe! This entire even last about three minutes, but due to the circumstances involved, I was only able to view this object (as it flew) for about 5 to 6 seconds, and less than that as it affixed itself to the street light post.

Yes, I read the part about Hoaxed and Joke reports. And, no this is neither. I am not now, nor have I ever been associated with the military (in the US or Canada). I am just a common man who has worked any job I can get in order to support myself. I am a dual citizen, and I was in California for two years after completing a bankruptcy here in Canada. I hold a Class 1 license now, for which I had to pass a comprehensive physical exam. I have also passed at least one Criminal Background Check here in Canada for a former job with Pepsico. Those who know me would say I’m of rational mind and fairly logical. So I would not take the time to write all of this in order for you to simply discard it, and I hope you don’t.

I would have reported this sooner had I known where and who to report it to, but I still see it as worthwhile, and I hope you agree.

Thank you for your time!

Many lights morphed into various triangle shapes as the outline of a craft was clearly seen moving.

The object, once first seen, appeared as a V of bright, large, orange lights that seemed to be staying still. The object then morphed into what looked like two triangle shapes composed of many lights, as some lights drifted up toward the object. It morphed once again into what looked like two diamond shapes connected. At this point, an outline of a large object could be seen moving. The lights slightly dimmed, and some even faded out. I witnessed one light in particular drifting down to the ground. The object was covered by trees as I exited the freeway to park and get a better look, but the object had completely vanished, as well as the lights.

From 10:30 to 11:00 p.m. on June 18th, 2014, my sister and I, along with many other by standers, saw two orange lights in the sky. We were in Mission Viejo, California.

These lights were huge and would dim in and out. We noticed a white trail or attachment coming from the top of the lights. The two lights would both be lit for a little while until one would go out, like they were taking turns.

This went on until 11:00 when they both went out.

4 red lights were observed rising from behind the rooftop of my neighbors home. They floated up one by one to a certain height, where all four of them appeared to fade out into darkness. They looked like they were approximately one to two miles away. I have never seen Chinese lanterns but these things definitely behaved like I would imagine a Chinese lantern to behave. They disappeared at a height that was partially obscured by my neighbor's palm tree approximately 80-100 feet away from where I was standing in my backyard. The palm tree is approximately 25 feet tall.

Orange lights in sky over Mission Viejo

I saw what appeared to be the big dipper in the SE sky at about 45’. The stars appeared bright orange, and larger that normal. There were possibly ten though I did not count them. It was a very clear night with the moon hidden behind trees to the right of the objects. The sky was a light blue rather than black.

After a short period of time (possibly 30 seconds) they started to move with four of the upper ‘stars’ shaping a square and the others moving about in what seemed random patterns. They continued to move about in the same general area until they started to dim and go out. One stayed for about 20 seconds or so longer than the rest before it disappeared.

Afterwards I did see several lights from planes coming from that general direction. I could not tell how high they were or if they were high flying helicopters. Planes at a high elevation are normal for our area.

The movements of the lights looked precise and they appeared to move one direction and then reverse or change to an up or down motion.

According to the current weather information Precipitation is 0% Humidity 77% and Wind is 0 mph.

I was with my dog who was more interested in sniffing things than the distant objects.

UFO over Mission Viejo, CA on July 16, 2013.

The object was oval at first. Large orange in color. My flash was on, so the picture is a little blurred. I think it saw my flash, because as I was trying to turn off my flash the object darted upward and I got a few more pictures as it disappeared. Then I saw it further up as it disappeared into space. The rear of the object was more slender and you could see the engine.

I was in the US Air Force and I can honestly say I never saw anything like this in my life. My pictures speak for them selves. I am now living in Arkansas.

2 Large orange orbs sighted from Mission Viejo, CA

We live in a tri-level, with our bedroom on the second story. We were upstairs getting in to bed, our room was dark, other than the TV and out our window I notice two large round orange spheres coming from the east (Palm Springs), heading directly to us (ocean is 7 miles west of us). We watched them for approximately 2 minutes – they were staying on a level course with no flashing or blinking lights, just a steady orange glow, and kept the same distance from each other. Our window was open and we did not hear any motor noise at all.

We watched the two spheres approach in the lower night sky, then go out of view over our house. We ran out to our front yard and continued to watch them both head northwest. The first one disappeared and soon after the second one dimmed, and then disappeared.

Two very bright red and white lights flashing in the sky completely still and silent befor disappearing at very high speeds.

I was watching television. And at around 5:00 am I rolled over on the couch to see if the sun was up yet. I opened the blinds, and it was still very dark, that’s when I noticed a stationary red pulsating light over the neighbor’s apartment. I continued to watch the light for about 2-3 minutes it would flash 9 times red then 1 time white.

As I continued to watch the light I noticed another red light seemingly to come from nowhere fly directly underneath the original red light. I continued to watch the lights for about another minute, that’s when the second light to arrive shot off to my left over my roof, and out of sight. I knew at that time that this was not a helicopter. However I was still not sure of what I was seeing, the original red light was still there so I went outside on my doorstep to see if I could hear anything. There was no sound. It was completely still in the sky very bright, and very silent.

I went back inside and continued to watch the fla! shing light 9 red 1 white. For some stupid reason I became a little anxious, I thought to myself, what if this thing is watching me watching it. I have heard of UFO sightings being questionable, explainable, and somewhat brief. I have never been a believer, nor have I ever had an interest in UFO’s or alien’s, until now. I do not know what I saw, but I know what I saw and I do not believe it was anything man made. I watched this UFO for a solid 8 minutes before it literally shot off to my right in the opposite direction as the second UFO, over the neighbors apartment and out of sight.

I paced back and fourth in my apartment trying to make sense of what I had witnessed trying to compare memories of what I have seen prior to in the sky. Nothing matched.

I am a frequent flyer between here and the U.K I know what planes look like at night time from the ground and in the air, I have seen many helicopters in the sky, this was neither of them. I went onto the internet and searched what I had seen and to my surprise there are many similar sightings thank god, because for a minute there I started to doubt myself, but to deny myself what I had seen would just be a lie.

I know what I witnessed on 11/14/2012 at 5 am and I feel very privileged, even if my friends and family don’t believe me, I do not care.

I however on the other hand am now a believer, and I truly hope that this wont be my last sighting because the unexplainable is truly awesome!

THREE craft entered atmosphere, one hovered over small ballpark stadium, one darted in an out, and one flew near Orion's Belt.

My Microsoft Word is expired so I pray this is read by someone in charge. Watched 3 real UFO craft enter above Orion's Belt in a streak of white but it stopped its streak. One shot straight for the small stadium and no steak was emitted, stopped just short of the main lights to the stadium and hovered around the stadium, wisping from side to side just outside the small stadium as if unhindered from Earth's gravity. The second seemed to dart in and away from the stadium. The 3rd was flying up at incredible speed and just stopped in mid-air. It turned in several degrees of turn I am not able to fathom. No manned or unmanned craft is capable of such of what I saw. An incredible sight I kid you not. The 3rd one showed its belly as it darted up and down in the air with no plausible way to decern how it was able to stop in mid air and go a different direction. I saw 7 (seven)bright blue and white rotating engines underneath as it flew vertically yet diagonally down for several hundred feet and then it stopped. This duration happened within about 1:30 to 2:00 minutes time. Captured a bit on my camera but not enough to give an accurate description. Sorry. I waved and hollered at the objects to get closer to me but I was not within audible range.

The belly of the craft as would be the belly of all three craft had 7 bright blue and white lights. The shape appearred to be hexigonal or octagonal. I could see their shapes as their engines made streaks of light in their turns. Phenominal. I'd say their weight could not be determined. The size, if they came face to face would have to be about 13 maybe 14 feet in diameter. No sound was emitted when they entered, hovered or left. They left because of a police helicopter was patrolling near the exact area which the 3 craft were hovering as the police helicopter was approaching slowly as it neared the one near the stadium... all three disappeared into the night sky. As if all were informed of the threat, the police helicoper, and shot out back into space. After they left, the police helicopter made a b-line to wherever they saw as well. The one I was watching, didn't change shape, none of them changed shape, they clearly had a top and bottom to them. The top had a curvature to the front of the craft and all three were extremely versitile. Hope this is enough for further investigation. Remember. Police Helicopter saw them too. Very real, not a hoax or a stupid joke. Odd thou, when they stopped from time to time in flight, I heard no sound, no sound at all. No shockwave of any sort was audible. 10 years ago, saw a different craft hovering in the same position before the small stadium was built. Tomorrow I will investigate precisely where I saw one of them hover.

ring/orb of light pulses while dipping and dancing in sky

We happened to glance up into the sky, we noticed some very bright lights. They pulsed with bright and dim white light and occasionally flashed red then back to bright white. They rotated to reveal there ring like quality and rose and dipped much like a kite or a jellyfish “playing” in the sky. At one point they appeared to be free falling and then would begin to rise again- Extremely high and extremely fast, while rising they moved in circular fashion with no apparent pattern finally dropping below the our view due to neighborhood trees. My husband said it reminded him of the portrayal of the UFO in the movie Close Encounters.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Flying disk looked at least four times the size of a Frisbee from the ground so had to be much bigger. Just under clouds a large disk with five to seven bright blue lights around the edges of the bottom of the disk. The lights looked large from the ground; maybe three to four inches in diameter so again probably much bigger close up. The lights were an octagon-like shape. Hovered for a couple of minutes, then moved from side to side very slowly, then pivoted so you could see the entire bottom of the disk (stayed like that for at least ten seconds which is why I have so many details about what the bottom of the disk looked like), then turned diagonal and shot through the air in a diagonal. Then it appeared in the same spot, hovered over the street, the lights turned off for a second, then back on, then off again, then on. I had to drive away because I wasn't sure what I was seeing and had errands to run but spend at least 4-8 minutes looking. When we drove off it was still there. On our way back from errands we drove the same way, there was a helicopter flying around the area...my friend in the car said it might be military because it had strobe like lights on it.

Circular Object w/ white lights on the underside flying over Orange County, CA / Riverside County, CA 500 Lights On Object0: Yes

At 23:30 i received a call from a friend that lives in my neighborhood. I ignored the call and replied with a text message "I'm in bed, whats up?" He responded with "saw the craziest thing in the sky." I called and he said "Come out side right now, and look toward the mountain." I grabbed my girlfriend and ran outside to see a flying object flying like a falling leaf. The Object appeared to be circular with white lights in a circular pattern on the under side of the object. The white lights were not Continuous, but individual white lights. As the object flew from side to side I could see the bottom and top. The top had a red glow and appeared to blink. The object continued to fly at about 2,000ft altitude in this "falling leaf" motion. This flying pattern lasted about three to five minutes. The object then shot into the air to an altitude that I would estimate to be 4k - 6k ft in the air and shot (what I mean by shot is within a few seconds) across the sky over saddleback mountain and into riverside county, CA. We could see the object for another few minutes over the corona, ca area. We lost sight of the object at approximately 23:50 on 09/20/07.

I think I have had a close encounter in Oranger County California

I was observing and airplane overhead going west, and I could hear it.......... just then I saw a silent formation of 5 aircraft flying east in formation all in one row, each about the size of a 727, guessed size from lights, they were in my view for only 8 - 10 seconds and disappeared.

There was not any sound from these 5 aircraft at all. The odd thing is the silence and the fact the lights disappeared when it was a clear nite, I could have followed for at least another 2 minutes, but their lights were gone.

I have never seen any thing like this before in my life. I am at a loss for an explaination as too late tin the evening for reflections, definetley were not birds migrating as i have never seen a flock with lights all traveling at the same speed etc//

Huge, white meteroid with red flames and brown tail-burns out right over houses!

I was driving up a hill in Misson Viejo on Fleipe Street when this giant meteror came within view, crossed about 5 or 6 feet in front of our vision and burned out! It was the biggest object in the sky I have ever seen!

It was a bright white light,about the size of a large softball, with red flames 3 to 4 feet jagged behind it! There was also a brown trail mixed in with the red flames at the bottem of the flare.

The giant meteor was so bright and close we thought it was going to hit the houses!

It looked like it extinguished itself about 100 feet over them because we were going up the hill.(25-30 mph) for a few minutes we could close our eyes and the brightness of the light was still there with the shape we had seen.

I've seen many shooting stars, meteroid showers, and I have never seen a meteroid/star so close and big!

Extremely bright object in the eastern sky in southern O.C. moving very slowly that suddenly lost its luminance and disappeared

I'm not sure if what I saw fits the true definition of a U.F.O. It was extremely bright, like a star or a planet. I frequently look out to the south (southeast) in the early morning to gaze at what I believe is Venus or some other planet, because it is extremely bright relative to the other stars. This object that I saw on the 18th was due east and roughly 30 degrees above the horizon It appeared to be slightly moving, although now I can't recall the exact direction. It's motion was unspectacular. It travelled neither far, nor fast and it's movement wasn't particularly perceptible. The strange thing is that it looked like a very bright star/planet, and I've never seen a star that bright in that location before, and to the best of my knowledge there shouldn't be one at that location. After staring at it for about 30 seconds it just went dim and disappeared. Now it is true that the sun was beginning to rise, but it had not come up over the horizon. Also there were plenty of other stars in various locations relative to the object in question that were still visible, and their brightness only seemed to dim gradually as I continued to look outside. They've never just went dead as if someone pulled the plug. There were stars both above and below the object/celestial body when it stopped shining. There is a huge amount of air traffic in this area as we are in a large metropolitan area that is surrounded by two gigantic metropolitan areas ( L.A. and S.D.) and a major military installation ( Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base ). This craft/thing was unidentifiable to me so I thought you might be interested.

Three bright lights in the morning on a bright and sunny day.

Sitting in the hot tub at around 10AM and saw 1 bright light in the sky. It appeared to be at about 1,000 feet or so and then moved farther up into the sky. Keep in mind that this was in the morning and almost no clouds. The light moved farther up in the sky and then I saw two such lights. They seemed to be very high. I called my wife to come out of the house to see the lights. Once she came out, we saw another light in a different part of the sky and it appeared to be very high, although it was impossible to tell. The reason is that we could not make out any shape, it was just a light in the blue sky. That light began to move across the sky at a fast rate of speed and moved behind the house roof. Very strange! I have never seem anything like it until I saw the pictures of such exact lights on the rense.com website. Here is the link. They looked exactly like these pictures-I would like to know if anyone else saw these lights. http://www.rense.com/general40/phoenix.htm

Extremely fast moving craft lights up as it shoots over Southern CA coastline

My friend ((name deleted)) and I decided to go to Strands beach last night(this morning) around 3:30am. Knowing the location and the time of night we were probably the only people on the beach for many miles in either direction. My friend and I were sitting on rocks smoking a cigar that lit up our position on the black stretch of beach, watching the sky, and talking. No more than 5-10 minutes after we got to the beach did we start seeing stuff.

It is probably important to mention when we pulled up to the parking lot behind the beach the radio station we were listening to, 93.1... a very large Southern California radio station with a powerfull signal located close to where I live and really never prone to static or disturbance, cut out completely making very strange non-static disturbance sounds that resembled strange and loud medium pitched humming for about 5 seconds two seperate times as we were driving through the parking lot. The radio station hadnt cut out once the entire time until we got there and the extended and very strange sounding 5 second periods where the radio cut out COMPLETELY and abruptly stuck in my mind.

Also I would like to mention less than 1 minute before we actually saw craft shooting across the sky something happened to me, physically. Im standing up enjoying the ambience of the waves and the night when I exhaled and attempted to inhale .. all of a sudden out of the blue I couldn't breath or inhale a single breath. It was like somebody disabled the use of my lungs or shrunk them to 1/10th the size for 5-6 seconds, a truly frightening and startling experience ive never had once in my life. I have no asthma nor any in my family and I've never had even the slightest shortness of breath or problem breathing, let alone the complete inablilty to expand my lungs and breath for atleast 5 seconds. During the 5 seconds i just stood there trying very hard to breath thinking both my lungs have somehow collapsed and contemplating how long i should wait to tell my friends im sufficating. I've been reading alot of ufo reports since trying to find somebody else who had a similair experience and so far haven't found anything so I dont know if it really does have anything to do with what we saw but it's timing was VERY strange... not to mention I have never had anything REMOTELY like that happen once in my life.

Less than a minute after i had my strange chest episode my friend and I both spotted the craft simultaneously as it streaked southward across the sky, stopped in front of us, and back. It came in what seemed like 200-300 yards off the coastline at medium-low altitude from the North at speeds that made the fastest shooting stars we saw that night seemed half as slow. It traversed half the sky in a small fraction of the second and stopped INSTANTLY directly in front of where were on the coast a few hundred yards out. The most incredible thing to me was the speed, what seemed like 10,000mph... much faster than most video cameras would even be able capture. It hung around for maybe a second then shot back North up the coast in what seemed like the exact trajectory it came in on, parrallel to the horizon, not to mention it accelerated instantly from where it had stopped and shot accross half the sky in a small fraction of a second.

Over the next 15 minutes we see what we figure is the same craft making guest appearances in other parts of the sky North of us, where it first came from, flying horizontally here and there back and forth up the coast line to the right of us. I might mention that the craft we saw had no lights on it and was black against the sky when it briefly stopped out in front of us and we would never have been able to point it out stopped in the sky if we hadn't seen its trajectory coming from the North. In fact aside from stopping out in front of us we only were able to see it when it shot across the sky at mindblowing speed and lit up. The second it would stop the light around it would disapear and unless you had it outlined against a lighter part of the dark sky that night you never would of seen it stopped. It seemed to move so incredibly fast it was making the air around it glow giving the entire object a dull glow slightly brighter than the stars around it and easy to spot if you're watching the sky the fraction of a second it takes for it to shoot across it. We stuck around for about 30 minutes afterwards watching the sky and saw the craft two more times to the North of us light up as it shot around making brief one directional and less dramatic appearances.

My radio was perfectly fine on the way home at about 4:35am and I haven't heard that kind of disturbance before or since. When i am able to i am actually planning on going back to the beach with a friend and a camcorder in the early hours of the morning again to see if i can capture what we saw last time.

this was a ufo triing to blend in with the stars, and nothing to be in the way not to make it a plane

well for the past several day's (about one week from today 06/21/01). i have been getting home real late in the night between 12:00-1:00am the night sky has been really clear with little or no clouds at all. well beeing that i live in city it's really hard to see any stars out at night, well our street light has been out so now im able to see all of stars now that the light is out. well both a friend and i just took a couple of minuets to enjoy the site, all of a sudden i had looked compleatly around to see others starsand thats when i noticed a plane or something to that fact and thinking to myself that it really was'nt on the normal flight patterns that i have ever noticed before. thats when i told my friend to look at it to see what he thought of it? he at first said it's a planet,thats when i told him than why is it moving and at that time we both started to find a stationary point to see if it was moving. well useing the roofline as our point it took about 2-3 minuets to appearour roof point. thats when we knew it was nothing from our world. no plane is that slow, that bright, and can pretty much stay that stationary for that long without any fluxuation in direction or alt. we both observed a bright light in a perfect circle as if it was triing to blend in with the stars occasionaly moving l/r and up/down. at that time we went inside and my father happen to be awake we told him about it. and with both of us he seen it too. there was only one of them i beleive and seem to be either observing or or just watching over the canyon. well later that morning my father seen it again but closer, and i rechecked my refrence point when the sun was out and nothing was in the way just clear sky. and thats when i knew for a fact it was a ufo. and remembered that i didsee about 2-3 more earlier that week as well as another neighbor of mine did too last week.

Formation high-flying 'pearls' in a daylight sky.

While watching a large airliner (a usual activity of mine as I am a pilot) fly almost directly overhead and to the southeast in a bright, clear and cloudless early afternoon sky, I noticed another jet traveling due east quite a bit higher. This second plane was a smaller business jet, probably a Cessna Citation as the wings were straight out from the body of the plane. It was flying at around twenty-five to thirty throusand feet in altitude. As I watched the small jet for a moment, two non-twinkling objects about the brightness of medium stars and about the same apparent size passed to either side of the small jet in the exact opposite direction. As the two objects continued in a due west direction and just before passing directly overhead, one object (the one that passed on the plane's right, or south side) abruptly turned to the southwest at a forty-five degree angle. The other object continued on a little farther and then turned due north. The turn was immediate, not like an airplane making a banking turn. I continued watching this one and in a few seconds it was joined by two more, one coming in from either side and together they formed a triangle, continueing to fly due north. After a couple more seconds, they moved in what I can only describe as a dance as they moved playfully around each other. Almost immediately they were joined by two more, one coming in from each side again. The five ojbects continued north until I could no longer distinguish them from the bright, blue sky. I have since seen (not without some excitement on my part) a report on T.V., with video no less, of almost exactly what I saw. The objects were described as 'pearls'. They were the same as I witnessed; silent, white and round and did not seem to give off light of their own. The objects on T.V. were also in diamond formations of many more than I saw (up to thirty at a time). Single 'pearls' would even turn away from the others at smooth forty-five degree angles.

Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Mission Viejo, CA, USA

Shape: Light


A red light about the size and shape of a star moving at about the speed of a shooting star but with no tail. As I watched it it slowed and changed direction.

I am a security patrol officer and I spend long hours sitting in a vehicle,so when I do exit the vehicle a good strech is nesisary.As I had my back arched and head back I noticed a small solid red light moving across the sky above me going what appeard South to North. I assumed it was a plane but it was moving very fast and there was no blinking lights on it at all.I then thought a shootong star?,but no tail... As I realized what I was looking at it quickly and visibly slowed almost to a stop,before performing what looked like a loop de loop and shooting off East to West.At this time I saw what looked like a second object appear and take off after the other one.(I say "appear" because I diddnt see where it came from) The entire event took less than twenty seconds.
