My cousin and I see it everytime we go west on the 210 freeway staring in Irwindale. We can see the flashing light change colors

This happens everytime I go to work at around 10 40 am. On the 210 freeway going west. It started when me and my cousin enter irwindale and ends as we get close to Monrovia. We notice it flashing colors starting red, orange, green and then blue. It is so bright is shines through the day. The flashing color light use to last about 30 seconds but gets shorter everytime. I pull out my phone to film but because my phone is so old, the camera takes a minute to load so I end up missing the light.

The light seems to be happening in the San Gabriel Mountains close to those spires at the top of the mountain where the old observatory is, I would assume but looking, I could be wrong.

We have only seen this flashing colored light 3 times this year.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

A single light in a straight line went silently across the sky above us.

A single light (with no distinct color) appeared from the southwest horizon and traveled in a straight line over our location. It looked like and behaved like a satellite but was too low to have been a satellite. It seemed to be at the altitude a plane or helicopter would be, but it did not have blinking lights and did not make sound. It went straight over our heads and continued in its straight line until it was no longer visible at the northeast horizon.

Location details: My house

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Left a trail

Orb entered my house, into my family room from kitchen area, orb crossed in front of me made a 90 degree turn toward me to my left gone

The orb was about 5 foot elevation, was beige in color, size about that of a softball, made no sound, moved in a straight line in front of me about 30 feet, made a 90 degree turn toward me to my left and disappeared thru my wall, however I did not see it exit thru the wall because it was to fast for me to see it happen. It left a momentary trail as it moved, the trail appeared as an arc from point to point, trail only lasted for moments, but was noticeable. The orb was not bright or cast light or shadow, the surface was not such that you could describe it other than color. The orb was such that I could tell what it may be made of or how it phased thru my wall or how it entered my residence. My family room is about 15 by 30 feet, I was seated middle of room against the wall facing my TV in center of room, TV was not on as I had just entered room and sat down when the orb entered room. It did not scare me nor did I feel threatened in any way. I remember saying to myself, what the hell was that. The other thing that happened was I experienced nerve damage on my left side, however I cannot say the orb caused it. And I only recently thought that the nerve damage could have been caused by this experience, it just never occurred to me.

Multiple bright orange lights near Monrovia, MD.

On Thanksgiving night (11-24-2016) around 5:45 pm with a house full of family, I stepped out onto my carport for a smoke. Looking NW towards Urbana/Frederick area, I saw 2 bright orange lights side by side & low on the horizon. They were coming straight towards my location in Monrovia, MD, at a steady pace and stopped and hovered for about a minute maybe 1 mile from my house. I estimate their altitude to be around 1000 feet. Then the first light ascended straight up at a silent but steady pace - the orange light turned white & looked like a distant star, and then it was gone. Then the second light did the same thing. I watched for a few more minutes when I noticed 2 more orange lights low on the horizon coming towards me. One light was faster than the other and it seemed to slow down 2 or 3 times to let the slower light catch up. These 2 lights stopped and hovered in the same place as the first 2 and then ascend straight up one at a time just like t! he first 2.

I watched for a few more minutes and saw nothing more and went inside. After about 5 minutes, I told my wife about my "weird" sighting. My oldest son overheard my story, and as kids do, wanted to say that I was crazy, so he went outside onto our back deck. As soon as he got outside, he screamed for everybody to come here now...... Six of us went out onto the deck and we all saw that there were now 7 bright orange lights evenly spaced in a vertical zig-zag pattern at the same spot where the previous 4 lights had ascended straight up. One by one, all 7 lights ascended straight up until out of sight.

This was really weird and the first time I had ever seen anything like this - but there were 6 witnesses to this event. I doubt if many people saw this because it was dinnertime on Thanksgiving night and the Redskins were playing the Cowboys on TV at this time. The total event lasted about 25 minutes - it was over around 6:10 pm.

As an interesting side note, I offer this. During this timeframe, I saw no airplanes in the vicinity this entire time. I live within about 50 miles of 3 major airports (Reagan National, Dulles and BWI) as well as several smaller airports such as Frederick Municipal , Hagerstown, Martinsburg and Montgomery Airpark) - there always seems to be planes in the airspace above us at all different altitudes - except for this night and time. Within 5 minutes of the last orange light disappearing, there were planes again.

We tried to take pictures, but nothing was clear. However, there is a You Tube video titled "Family of UFO's Flying over Baltimore" recorded on 1-31-2016 that shows identical orange lights to what the six of us witnessed. To date, I have not seen the lights again.

Sorry this is so lengthy, but I wanted to get all of the details included since no pictures or video.

Multiple lights in the sky.

Sunday November 24, 2013, 18:28 (6:28PM)

At 18:28, the witness walks outside into the parking lot of the witnesses work on a routine walk when the witness sees a bright bluish white light above the San Gabriel Mountains that draws the witness attention. The light is brighter than the planet Venus at its brightest and bigger in diameter.

The light object begins to dim then three other lights to the left of it appeared. They were small and dim. A total of four lights all together.

From left to right the colors are a dim white, a dim red, a dim orange and a dim white(the brightest light) that. A few seconds later the farthest light became bright again as before.

The other lights were not noticeable when the bright light would be at its brightest. Then it would dim and then get bright again for about three more times.

Then at around 18:31 the far right brightest light dimmed down and was in sync with the other lights. All the lights begun to flash two to three times then all lights went dark.

The witness waited five minutes and the lights did not reappear. The witness goes back inside the witnesses work. Five minutes later the witness goes outside again to check if the lights were anywhere but could not be seen.

The city the where the witness viewed the light object from is Monrovia, CA. The area where the Light Objects or Light Spheres was seen is in the San Gabriel Mountains in the area four to eight miles north of Azusa, CA. The heading from Monrovia would be North-North East.

From the witness point of view, the object was well above the top of the mountains. The time frame when the Light Objects seen is 18:28 to 18:31. The Light Objects or Light Spheres were in a straight line from the left to the right (NNW to SSE) as seen from the witness point of view. There were a total of four lights seen including the brightest light.

The Brightest light color was a bluish to white light in the color temperature of 5500 to 6500 Kelvin. The diameter of the bright Light Object was about 40-50% bigger than the planet Venus on the same night seen from the ground to the sky.

The Light Objects or Light Spheres seem to have never moved from its position. The witness stepped outside from the b! uilding the witness was in and the Light Objects or Light Spheres were already in position and did not seem to move only disappear after the event happened. No noise was heard possibly due because of the distance from object and witness.

The witness was alone at the time of the event. Pictures were taken but due to lighting conditions and the technology there are inconclusive.

Conclusion is that the Light Objects or Light Spheres are unidentified. The lights seemed to be together as one craft but the lights could be separate from each other. There could be a possibility that the Light Objects or Light Spheres could be a helicopter but the way it behaved brings a doubt.

Note the witness is very knowledgeable in commercial and military aircraft.

Color changing light quickly bobbing vertically and hovering over Monrovia CA

I feel that I have pretty good depth perception, even at night, so I would describe it as having been between 100-300ft off the ground over about Foothill and Myrtle and rising/falling arythmically at a rate of about 100-200fps (around 100mph across only a couple hundred feet before pausing and changing direction) and sometimes hovering absolutely motionless. It was bright white while rising and bright blue while falling, alternating red>blue>white while hovering, and all color transitions were extremely smooth. Since I was viewing it across an arc of about 120 degrees, I feel confident saying there was no "looping" involved (like a conventional aircraft) as through the entire 120 degrees it appeared to move absolutely vertically "bobbing" up and down only. I didn't see any police helicopters or other aircraft heading to the area, so I'm guessing no one is treating it like a national emergency or anything, but I'd sure like to know if there is a mundane, man-made explanation for this...

strange lights near monrovia

This actually happened twice to me in the same location. (first story..3 about months before 9-12-12) 10:30pm. i was driving east on the 210 freeway. as i approached the exit of santa anita ave. (stuck in traffic, moving very slow) there is a freeway wall (north side) and above the wall was a oval/roundish light, Blue in color. i noticed it as i moved slowly in traffic. this thing danced up and down and was doing loops in the sky. at this point i realized it wasnt a helicopter or any other kind of conventional craft. as the freeway wall lowered and i moved forawrd. i could see it take off and travel quickly to specific locations, then zoom back. it did appeared to fly around randomly. it was a fast object. no helicopter could make these turns. i could not see it much longer than 1-2 mins. in both sightings there were no other parts of the craft visible such as a helicopter tail or wings or anything else thet would prove to be some other kind of conv! entional air craft. just a solid blue light.

Forward to 9-12-12 9:30 pm. same location.. no traffic this time. i nothiced a red light just abvove the wall. and it moved up and down, sorta bobbing. in both cases maybe 20-30 feet above the freeway wall. i saw it as red this time, then it would fade to white. then after 3-4 seconds fade back to red. it did not blink. but a very smooth fade from color to color. i came back later after about 30 mins and i saw nothing. i go by this location everyday/night and theres nothing in the area right off the freeway like tall buildings or a crane, or power lines that would give off a light source.

unique ufo light never seen ?or heard of????!!!

I was in out to get a cigar when i lit the cigar looking the right side facing out to the street, at my right there it was a blue red and one blue light joined together and going down to earth pretty fast so i though it was a fine fire work from far away going down, when all of the sudden the light starter hovering up close toads my house's city area, the light was or seemed to big very so big enough to to be probably a modern balloon like the ones at baseball etc., so i though it was a lighted balloon cause of it been today (memorial day may 28 2012) and in memorial day planes representing memorial day flied around the city as they planes are relay pretty too they do it every year. The red and blue light turned green white red purple bluish reddish blue greenish orange and it was way impressible so i ignored it as i remember there is a park right there, a school park so i though to my self its a RCA electric hovering UFO like seen on TV or internet, well i started to notice it started to change color with more intensity and moving from one place to an other really fast, and at very long distances all to quick for it to bee a balloon or RCA (electric radio controlled UFO) i just freaked out and i didn't event bother waking up my dad to ask for his video camera. After freaking out i was just thinking about the colored high intense light winch had small and big sizes as it moved when hovering, thinking of that that light was relaxing, like fireworks but UFO sh.the object never really changed shape only when it started to move like i have never even seen on the internet.

Lat night, around 10:00 cst., me and a friend were outside and I looked up and saw a very bright red and white light. I told my friend to check it out. We have the Blackhawk command here at Redstone so I thought they may be doing a night mission.

As it got closer we noticed that it was not making any sound just a bright flashing red and white light. We watched it for a minute or so and then making no sound it took off across the sky and disappeared within seconds.

One of the strangest things I have ever saw.

Above my home a large/huge dark unshaped figuer, blending in as a star passing threw from east to west in 15min

On 10/11/2008 at 2:35am A clear night, quiet shining stars above as I looked up then a object started to head my way closer toward my home and above getting closer towared my way I looked harder trying to identify on the shape it looked like a star, then I looked at the other stars as they were a resemblance to the object. I could not see a shape to the object it was a pitch black shape form like a house it looked like the stars but it was glidding up above the houses toward and above my home area.I did not hear any noises from the object. I was scared and ran inside to call my sons out and see it too.

Within mins it was over to the west side in the far left side . My neighbor got some footage on it with his camcorder of security.

Two mysterious rectangle objects.

While I was watching an eagle/hawk flying (looking south). I notice two rectangle objects flying way above the eagle/hawk. I estimate the two to be about at least 6,000 feet in the air. At first I thought it were a pair of turkey vultures that are found in the Monrovia area. But the two objects were not flapping the wings. The two objects would move closer to each and then move apart. The two objects were high in the sky, yet it appears to be large. I only notice the rectangle shape, there was not any thing protruding from the object at all. The two objects were either black or dark gray in color. They were flying from east to west. The two objects left no trail of any kind, and I did not notice any sounds from the objects. The two objects were about 70 to 80 degrees from horizon. Below is the wind information I obtained from NOAA web site. I was unable to obtain winds aloft information.

8inch clear sphere observed closely in the middle of the day for approximately 3 minutes

It was around 1:30 pm on a warm sunny day . My friend and I had just cut down an old avocado tree in the parking lot behind my dentist office and were cleaning up the rest of the mess on the ground . I had a rake and he had a broom . He was to the north of me about 40 to 50 feet . There were tall trees on my left. As I was standing there , I noticed a 8 inch sphere descending from the tree top right over me . I first thought it was some kids blowing soap bubble until it got closer to me . It was no soap bubble . Perfectly clear , and round with no distortion . it was now about a foot from me and circled around and dipped down on me . I fell to my knees cause i didn't know what it was . It made no sound , had no means of propulsion , and maneuvers like someone was controlling it . Well it circled around about 5 times just a foot over our heads and I said to my friend <"stare at it , get a good image burnt in your head so you wont forget . We did . I! know for a fact what I saw was real . Its been hard to find anyone we could tell and get some action or response from so i just let it go . After reading and watching all these stories about people seeing things , its mostly at nite and briefly . I'm telling you all that we are and are being observed by something because this thing maneuvered and flew around watching us and left when my friend waved the broom like he was going to hit it . This thing was only traveling about 2 miles an hour so we had plenty of time to observe it . I wwould really like to discuss this with someone cause im tired of wasting my time filling out these reports that go nowhere. It is possible to have an aircraft of some sort fly around with no motor , no sound , no wings , and I truly think its like a satellite or the things we send out to other planets but wway more advanced . I hope that this gets the attention it deserves . I dont't look for these things and unfortunately didn't have means to ! take any photos but my word is honest and true and I will take! any lie detecter test you have to prove it .

Possible Cattle Mutilation

Reported in The Washington Post, Saturday, March 6, 2004, page B3: (e-mail [email protected]) 4 Calves Attacked in Frederick; 2 Die Frederick County authorities are investigating an act of animal cruelty after four cows on Gladhill Brothers Road in Monrovia were attacked with a sharp object late Wednesday, a spokesman for the county Division of Animal Control said yesterday.

Two 6-month old calves died of the wounds, which were discovered by the animals' owner Thursday morning. Two other calves - also about 6 months old and about 350 pounds - were severely cut but survived, said division spokesman Harold Domer.

The animals' owner, Aubrey Mullineaux, told authorities that sonmething spooked the 28 animals in his herd about 10:15 PM and caused them to bolt across tha pasture, Domer said.



NUFORC Note:

If two calves survived, our suspicion would be that humans, not aliens, probably were the perpetrators of this crime. Just a guess. Subsequent investigation may resolve the issue. PD

There was three lights in perfect alignment(diaganol) flashing in sequence, revealing the size and shape of the ufo

It was a diagnal. Three lights in diagnol form flashing in sequence(one light at a time, but rapid). It was obviously one structure and too big to be a plane or aircraft. I observed this ufo for about five to ten minutes(the whole time I observed this, it was statioinary, not moving at all,but hovering). I also observed two helicopters and an aircraft flying in very close proximity to this ufo. I lost track (or the plane and helicopters turned off their lights)of the helicopter and airplane. As I was watching the Ufo, I turned for a moment only to look right back up at the ufo, and it was gone. Imediatly after I noticed the Ufo gone the helicopters and airplane were right back flying where the Ufo was. I thought I saw the UFO reappear, but followed it in my car only to see a clear sky. I drove around franticly, looking for the UFO, but it was nowhere in sight.

3 shiny stationary metallic edged shapes in a row around 8pm.

While outside watering, I heard a plane go overhead and looked up to see it. I noticed something beyond the plane, and looked at it intently as it was not moving. I saw there were three of these metallic edged figures. There were in a row, and not moving. I watched them for a while, and had to go inside for a moment. When I went back outside to see them again, they were gone. They looked to be very high up, yet they were very shiny in the evening sunset. I thought they must be satellites as they were not moving as any craft would be doing. To verify the satellite theory, I again went out at 8pm the next night, but they weren't there. I can't seem to dismiss this as satellites. And I can't stop thinking about it.

Highly polished shuttle looking craft which hovered at high altitude in the air directly above me

I went down to Recreation Park there in Monrovia in April of 1996 to play some tennis. It was a beautiful clear spring day in Southern California.

I got to the park but there wasn't anyone to play with. So, I started hitting the ball up against the wall and waited until someone showed up to play. I threw the ball up in the air to practice some serves and something directly above me caught my eye. I thought it was a plane at first, but the thing wasn't moving. I've always been into planes since I was a kid, so it struck me odd that this "plane" wasn't moving. It had to be at an altitude of about 1 to 2 miles up and nothing that I knew of could hover at that altitude.

I was very much dumbstruck and at the same time extremely curious. Why wasn't this thing moving.

I looked around to call to someone to witness this, I didn't care if it was a stranger or not. But, there was no one around within 100 yards of me. I was very confused about this.

I laid down on the court on my back so that I could better examine what it was, because it was directly above me. It had the shape similar to that of space shuttle turned upside down with it's bay doors open. I remember wishing that I had a pair of binoculars so that I could see it better. I remember it was highly polished like stainless steel and the sun was reflecting off from it brightly.

I had to have laid there for 5 to 10 minutes. It just stuck there. I almost got the feeling that it was looking at me looking at it. I went to get up and took my eye off from it for a split second and it was gone.

I was so struck that I forgot my tennis racket at the courts as I jogged home to tell my family. When I told them what I saw, they didn't seem to believe me.

I was in the 9th grade, my friend lived in the back house next to a church. I decided to take a nap in her room. Her and her sister were watching T.V. in there also. I dont remember how long I was asleep but all of assuden they woke me up calling my name. "Hurry, Hurry, get up", they said. My freind had a huge window in her room. So I got up to what they were talking about. They told me to look out the window. So I did, and there it was. It was as low as the street lights, and it was gray a metalic material. There were red or orange, (I cant remember) lights goign around it like Kit the car on Night Rider. All I remember is I was just staring at it, almost fixated. While I was staring I remember my friends they said to get a camera to eachother, then I remember the flashes of the camera. Then that was it. I dont remember anything after that. But what was wierd is that I finally remembered that night three years later. I dont know how to explain it, its like I forgot that moment it happened, then remembered it three years later. When I was telling the story to one of my friends, they asked if I ever asked my friend and her sister about it. I said no. So I called my friend and I got her sister. I asked her if she remembers that night and she said yes. So then I asked her what happened after we saw the UFO. She said she deosnt remember. So couple years later I finally ask my friend. I asked her what we did after we saw the UFO? She said, "Didnt we go outside or something?" So I dont know. But it was weird.

Diamond or Pyramid shaped craft sighted in Los Angeles County, in the fall of 1988

PREFACE: It never really occurred to me until recently that I could submit this UFO report ‘retroactively’ because it describes an event that took place in 1988 when I was about 9 years old — and that I probably should go ahead and upload it, as my tiny contribution to the greater good, as part of the historical record — As I’ve heard many times, that for all those who witness something unusual in the sky, only a mere fraction actually take the time to report it.

Herein contained is the one and only unusual event that I’ve experienced, or sighted, that can only be described as a “UFO” — I’ve never seen anything even remotely close to this before, or since.

It was a benchmark moment that was permanently burned into my memory and I can recall it today, as clearly I could on the day it happened. Even then, at the time, I had no doubt that what I was observing was something extremely strange.

MY UFO SIGHTING: So this took place about 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles, California, in the San Gabriel Valley, in the suburban city of Monrovia. It was in the fall and I remember school had just started a few weeks back. I remember that It had been cold and wet for a few days, and had rained for most of that day while I was at school. Toward the end of the day, it was kind of gusty but seemed like it was clearing out.

So after school, I did what most kids in the neighborhood did, and jumped on my bike, and met up with a couple of friends that lived around the block. In addition to riding our bikes all over the place, one of our favorite things to do was “explore” around construction sites. Luckily for us, right around this time, on a lot directly next to our friend's house, there was an old small house with a massive yard, that had dense avocado trees in the back, which they had recently bulldozed some time ago (with us watching delighted at all the excitement) and they were now in the process of building four attached Townhouses on the site.

At the time when this happened, it was basically just a two-story wood frame construction site, with about half of the roof built, a couple of fiberglass bathtubs, exposed pipes and such; as the floor plan and rooms were barely discernible and just beginning to take shape. But they had constructed a couple sets of stairs at this point, and I recall we were excited about the prospect of being able to climb up and check out the second floor. Anyway, so along side all of this, was like open trenches with wooden sticks, concrete framing and the usual stuff that one would find when building a house — but since it had rained, there was this very huge area of mud. We thought was the cool because it was like super thick, and had pooled in such a way that there was an undisturbed ‘skin’ on the top of it, and had the consistency of chocolate pudding.

So it was just two of us, my friend from school and myself. Having checked out the site, we were now outside on our bikes, taking turns driving through this muck, completely coating our tires with this stuff, and seeing who could make it the farthest (without peddling) by rolling into this mud, and trying not to slow down too much, or we’d loose our balance, and have to put our feet down into it. Anyway, we were having a ball, and enjoying ourselves completely.

Then, at almost the same time, something super bright caught our eye and our attention. I remember us both standing there and now looking up at something shining in the sky. Something so bright, something so huge, something completely inexplicable and totally strange, something gleaning and shimmering, and something that just seemed propped up, poised, or ‘hanging’ way up in the sky.

The sky was overcast with dark grey clouds, and it being the later part of the afternoon, it was on its way to being dark in a short amount of time. So against that dreary backdrop was this exceedingly bright, totally out-of-place, totally abnormal, gigantic ‘thing’ — My friend was standing to my left and was the first to say something, and said “Woah, WHAT is THAT?" ….I said, “I don’t know, ….I have NO idea”. I had no clue what it was we were looking at, but perched high up in the sky, roughly to our 2 o’clock (Northeast) and partially obscured at the bottom by clouds, was a diamond-shaped (somewhat faceted) or for lack of a better description, basically a pyramid-shaped object. The shape of this object and the dimensions were semi difficult to make out, because it was glowing so brightly. It was as if it was encased or enveloped (in what I would now describe as similar to a plasma-like light) that surrounded it, and was radiating and reflecting from it. [*Correspond! s to Position #1 in attached drawings] It was shimmering, dazzling and sparkling, and seemed to reflect every color of copper, silver, gold, white, yellow, orange, fiery red, etc. — all those colors all at once!! I used to describe it as almost “cartoonish” …Like it was an animated creation that someone created in Toon-Town and it escaped. Whatever it was, it was a remarkably brilliant display. The light off this thing was backlighting some of the surrounding clouds, and making the clouds around it on all sides glow. I thought then, that without a doubt everyone in Los Angeles, much less the entire western USA, must be seeing this anomaly too! I mean, this was something I imagined would be impossible to miss, or so I thought. I naively surmised that this was going to be the leading story on the nightly news, without a doubt.

So I remember staring at this thing, and it’s like your brain is quickly spinning your mental Rolodex, but can’t really classify or quantify what it is you’re looking at. We had no frame of reference for something like this. I had a slim knowledge-base about anything to do with UFO’s in general at that age, but was vaguely aware of pop culture ‘flying saucers’ and the like, and so my brain could wrap itself around the notion that those things, as seen in movies, at least resembled ‘vehicles’ or spaceships, and that I could somewhat envision people, or beings, or whatever, zipping around in those type of crafts. However, this thing we saw didn’t register with us (at the time) as being any type of aerial vehicle, spaceship, or anything of the sort. Certainly not something you could ‘ride’ in, I remember thinking. It was just this crazy big glowing weird-shaped thing sitting there. (Who flys around in a glowing pyramid I thought to myself?!) Immediately, I remember the very firs! t thing that popped in my head, was maybe it was hot air balloon, because I remembered seeing on TV once, these balloons flying in the evening time and how when someone pulled the cord, the fire would light up, and once airborne, it would make them look like floating Chinese lanterns. But just as soon as this thought came, I could quickly rule it out. This thing although appearing quite some distance away, was massive. Like I’d estimate it was 1.5 times the diameter of the full moon. It was obvious to us within milliseconds that this was not a plane, and not something ordinary or conventional. We were spellbound and speechless, with our necks craned just staring at this thing.

So from this point, where we had first sighted it, along the western edge of this construction site, we then made our way maybe 20-30 yards south down toward the street, to continue observing the object, and to try to get a better unobstructed view. I remember vividly wanting to get someone’s attention and as soon as I saw anyone, I had planned on shouting “Look, LOOK at THAT!” — and as I quickly scanned up and down the block, but I was astounded that there was nobody out — no cars coming, nothing, no one. [*Corresponds to Position #2 in attached drawings] We continued looking at this object, as we slowly moved from the middle of the street, walking with our bikes diagonally toward the sidewalk, where we stood and then, just as oddly as it appeared, it was gone. Just like that. [*Corresponds to Position #3 in attached drawings] This entire sighting lasted no more than 3 minutes in total, from start to finish. It never moved, or did anything. It made no sound whatsoever. It was literally there, and then it was literally gone. It never ”did” anything. Apart from a couple of milliseconds spent looking around for a neighbor, or anyone else to call attention to this thing, we both never took our eyes off of it. It was there, then it was not; just like that.

So, needless to say, we were totally pumped up and excited — exclaiming “WOWS” and “WOAHS” back and forth to each other. We stood there for a few minutes, baffled and perplexed about what that was, where it had went, and if it’d be coming back.

So we jumped on our bikes and rode around the block toward my friend's house, and a couple of houses down from his house, we spotted our mutual friend who was on her porch, saying goodbye to her mom, and standing there with grandmother (who owned the house). I remember that her mom worked at the clothing store ‘Mervyns’ and was hastily getting into her car to leave for work, just as we pulled up. Of course we told them all what we had seen, she sort of chuckled and was kind of dismissive and backed out in her car, in a rush. [*Corresponds to Position #4 in attached drawings] However our friend’s grandmother said that she absolutely believed us, and went on to tell us how she once saw something really strange in the sky decades ago, and then proceeded to ask if we’d like to borrow her husband’s binoculars to scan the sky to see if our object returns. We naturally thought this was an excellent idea, and emphatically accepted. So we went out to the sidewalk and sat around passing these big clunky binoculars around, trying to figure out how they worked and if we could see anything at all, but of course we didn’t. I also recall going home that night and drawing what I had seen, and show it to my mom, and tell her about it. I remember she was less-than-receptive about it, and was more interested in us getting ready for dinner, which she was in the middle of preparing.

So slowly, but surely, I kind of forgot about it. From time to time, I would occasionally think and reflect on it. I would say having seen something like this may have kickstarted, or helped in laying the groundwork for my broader interest in such topics, and assisted with my keeping an open mind to items of high strangeness. The world is full of very strange things, and my personal belief is that there is a lot more going on around us then we could ever imagine.

after being followed by a ufo, a beam of light shown down on my sister

This story is not my own but belongs to my sister. I have wanted her to relate this story for a long time but she does not have access to the net. In the winter of 76 her and her girl friend were coming home from a meeting and were driving on a lonely country road when her friend said look at that helicopter. my sister said, That is no helicopter, and she asked her friend to stop the car. Her friend freaked out and floored the gas pedal. The bright triangle object followed them to my sisters lonely farm house and was over the barn when they pulled into the drive. My sister got out of the car and the object slowly moved above her.it did not make a sound. her friend was hystrical and began to yell for my sisters boyfriend to come outside. The object was directly over my sister and she looked up and saw a trangle shape at tree top level . A beam of light shown down on her and she looked down because she was afraid it would hurt her eyes. At her feet was a cat and the beam broke and also shown on the cat. by this time her boyfriend was at the door and when he slammed the screendoor the light went out. The object moved off through the corn fields and when it was far away a bunch of lights that were thought ,at the time, to be stars fell to link up to it. I know this sounds crazy but she cannot tell this without tears in her eyes and getting all shakey. We knew nothing about abductions at the time so we know of no missing time.
