I never heard of such a thing but had a teal hunter spooked, anyways that what I experienced out there in Parkfield.

Was traveling down the coast of California from San Francisco to Long Beach on the tugboat I work on. I saw two bright lights in the skyrunning toward the shore. They were so bright, then the brightness faded and we were able to watch the objects continue to fly and swirrl around each other in the air for quite some time. They stayed at the same altitude and seemed to be partnered up with each other some how. Both objects vanished and that was it.

fireball with orange tail across monterey county california sky 9-23-13

I was sitting on my couch at 7:30pm pacific time looking out of the window when I saw an orange streak in the sky. I watched it move slowly from north to south. I called my 18 year old son in to look at it too. He said it could be a jet and my 15 year old son said he thought it was a missile. It was a sparkling ball with an orange tail behind it. It went across the sky until it disappeared behind the mountain range. Within 5 minutes, I saw a jet following the same course in the same direction. I don't know if the jet was trying to follow the fireball or is it was unrelated.

A bright pink ball of light came into our bedroom through our window and hovered in front of my face for roughly 5 minutes.

My husband and I were staying the night at my parents house. My husband was asleep next to me and I was sitting up in bed unable to sleep. I was afraid for no reason, terrified really, for about half an hour preceding the light. The bedroom window is on the first floor and faces nothing but the slough which is pitched black at night. Then, all my fear evaporated suddenly and a pink ball hovered outside the window. Then I watched it as it went right through the glass and hovered in front of my face. It moved very strangely, like a bubble or a helium balloon. It could move very fast or stop quickly and it never really stopped moving when it hovered. I had a very good look at it while it hovered maybe 6 inches away from my face. It had lots of little lights inside of it that were all moving around. It seemed intelligent and moved with purpose. It seemed curious about me, I think. I was nervous because I had no idea what it could be and it was bright, so bright that I didn’t know what could happen if it touched me or my husband. Maybe burn or shock us? I didn’t know if it was deadly? I couldn’t imagine what it could be. I was just staring at it and it’s moving lights inside half trying to rack my brain as to what the heck was happening, worried about what it could do, not wanting it near us and half amazed and not wanting it to leave without my husband seeing it too. My husband saw light as I was trying to silently nudge him awake and he was annoyed that I “turned the light on.” When he woke, it sped off. I’m not religious and not a believer in anything supernatural, etc. I have no idea what this was. Have there been many people that have seen this? Did they feel terror in the time before it happened? The only time I felt that terror was when I was younger and experienced being awake during sleep paralysis and seeing a shadowy man. It was the exact same feeling of pure terror. I learned later that the shadow figure was an illusion, a trick of the mind to explain the paralysis. That was the same terror I had that night but I was a grown woman, a wife, a mother and in the same room with my husband. I had no reason to feel terrified. I should mention though that both events happened there at the same house but a different bedroom.

An extremely bright white light was observed travelling at an extraordinary speed, with no noise.

I observed a bright, white light on the horizon, using binoculars. It was heading from southwest to northeast. The object was brighter and larger than the planet Saturn. The sky was clear and cloudless and there was no wind.

It took the object less than 60 seconds to cover horizon to horizon. After the object covered about 2/3 of its translation across the sky, the bright white light turned off and it became a dull orange color.

There was no noise and the object appeared to be travelling several times faster than any commercial jets that have been observed in the same area. It was also much faster and brighter than any satellite that has been observed at the same location.

Characteristics: Lights on object

The craft flew for at least fifteen minutes, often separating into different lights, made whirring noises, and flew in erratic patterns

We saw a long string of blue lights in the sky. It appeared to be two short, whitish blue blinking lights trailing behind a longer, turquoise blue light. The flight patterns were erratic and varying, not flying like any regular aircraft. The craft frequently dove and dipped in the sky, often seeming to flip over or rotate. The craft flew very quickly, faster than any regular aircraft. The craft often crossed the sky within eight seconds or less. When the craft appeared to be in the center of the sky, a slight whirring noise could be heard. About ten minutes into the encounter, the lights appeared to split and fly separately. The lights separated into smaller lights, a string of six to seven. After flying separately for at least thirty seconds, the lights recondensed back into one long light.

I have NEVER seen anything like this large, bright, hovering sphere that changed colors.

It was probably between 8/9PM. I was driving. There were very few cars on the road.

My friend and I both noticed a bright light on the right side of the car (at about 2:00). At first we thought it was a shooting star - there were many that we saw as we drove that night. But it was bigger & a clear sphere shape that seemed to change colors (red, blue, green, yellow, white, orange, etc.) It seemed to hover for about 10-20 seconds and then it dropped out of sight.

Unsual light seen throughout house late at night.

My wife and two young children and their grandmother all lived in a two story home in a very dark and thickly wooded private community in Northern California in August of 1998. There are no street lights in this area and the nights are incredibly dark. The house lots are huge and far apart and across the street from us was a huge undeveloped tract of Pine forest.

At approximately 2:AM on this absolutely calm and relatively warm summer evening I was awakened by the brightest blue-white light I have ever seen. I was sleeping in my own upstairs bedroom and my wife was in another next door one and my two children in their own rooms as well. Grandma was downstairs in her own bed.

My door to the upstairs hallway, which had windows facing out to the woods across the street, was open. My room was so immersed in this blue-white light coming in from this wooded area direction that it was blinding. I had to actually shade my eyes. I was very groggy when I first awoke so I was just befuddled as to what this light could be. It took me several seconds to wake up. When I became fully awake I studied the light with incredible amazement and curiosity. It was illuminating the entire inside of our house! I didn't know a light could be this bright. It was like one of those six foot wide "Hollywood Premier" night-beam-in-the-sky lights were being shined right onto and into our house! This light was steady and unwavering. It had a cool, unearthly, blue-white glow to it. Almost like a welders torch glow but no wavering and flashing at all like a real welders torch would have.

I was unnerved and my mind came up with a "safe" scenario that there must be emergency vehicles outside our house and every one of their lights were being shined on our house and lighting it up on the inside.

But then I listened and I couldn't hear one sound outside. No voices or engines running. Then I got a little scared. I just couldn't get up and look outside to see what was directly making this light. It was a strange "sense" of apprehension and fear. I actually felt cowardly for not doing so.

Just then, two minutes after this light first lit up our house I heard my wife in the bedroom next to mine shout out " what the heck is that light?" Her door to the windowed hallway was closed, and still the light was so bright it woke her up as well. Unlike me she "bravely" got up and as soon as her hand touched the hallway door knob to open it the incredible light blinked out. And as soon as it did...every electrical appliance including the humming refigerator, clocks and clock-radios in the house went out too. We tried the lights, nothing worked. My wife staggered into my room and sat on my bed. Like me, she was shaken and said she had never seen anything so bright in her life. We called the gated community 24 hour security guard house about 1/4 to 1/2 miles away as the phone did work and they reported no outages or calls about anything unusual like people's electricity being out.

We sat there pondering another couple of minutes and all of a sudden the lights and power in our house just blinked back on ! It was all so strange we just sat there silent and dumbfounded. Eventually we got up and walked down to our children's bedrooms and took a quick non-entering look inside and they seemed asleep and fine so we just went back to bed.

The next morning my wife and I got up and she started making an eggs and bacon breakfast for us all. Not long afterwards our 13 year old son came slowly walking down the stairs. I didn't look up but said "good morning" as you could hear him coming down the stairs. He kind of moaned in response and said " ohhh, I must have had the worst nose bleed of my life last night." We looked up and the front of his T-shirt was partially stained in blood and he had dried blood underneath his nose and down his cheek and chin.

My wife and I immediately walked over to comfort him and then we went upstairs to his room. His pillow was fairly well splattered with dried blood also.

To this day we don't have a clue as to what happened that summer evening. But the events I am describing happened exactly the way I say they did. Our son seemed okay after this and I don't recall him ever getting another nose bleed.

But that light. I still don't know how anything could light up the "inside" of a house like that with absolutely no sound.

Was this a UFO event? I can't say it was becuase I didn't see anything but the light.

But, it certainly was a U.L.E. "Unidentified Light Event." And it reminded me of the movie "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind."

Summary : A green light was iluminating the ocean as we drove past-suddenly, a white light came out of the water and straight for our car. The light came up to my window and I screamed, my mom (the driver) hit the gas and the light stayed with us for about 10 seconds then retreated back into the water.

My mother is a nurse, I am a college student. Our family very upstanding in the community, PTA parents, my dad coaches Little League, I have 3 brothers, we are all conservative and skeptical, typical Republicans. My mother is especially rigid due to her profession, but what we saw was undeniable. My mom and I were driving along 17 Mile Drive about 22:05 one evening and we were perplexed by this glowing green light off the coast near Spanish Bay beach. We thought it might be shrimp boats(shrimpers fish usually in the middle of the night & use irridescent green lights to attract the shrimp to the surface) but there were no boats on the surface of the water and the green area was far larger than shrimper lights. Plus, shrimpers as well as other fishermen do not usually fish off the coast of Pebble Beach,it is exclusive & private. We kept driving, away from Spanish Bay, until we reached the Lodge. The green light was out of our sight as we entered the forest area. We were turnin! g to go home when I said, "That light was just too weird, lets go see if it's still there." My mom was scared but we turned around and headed back towards Spanish Bay. About 22:18 the green light came back into view, underwater illumination that from a distance appeared to be a dome shaped structure laying on the floor of the ocean. We speculated that it was the lost city of Atlantis, it was really creepy, we were the only car on the road and we were both overwhelmed with a desire to turn around and head away from the scene. We continud a bit further, then we flipped a U-turn and began in the opposite direction again(I was the passenger, with my side of the car facing the ocean at this point) Just as we accelerated to go, I looked out my window at the green dome, and this bright light beam shot out of the water and came directly to my window. I screamed and my mom hit the gas. We were going 81-85 miles per hour for about 10 seconds and the beam continued to shine in my window! , it's origin still the green dome under the water. I kept screaming and tried to climb into my mothers seat to escape the light, and suddenly the beam retreated back the way it came until it was back in the dome and disappeared. There was noise of some sort, like ringing at an almost inaudibly high pitch when the light was present, then it was gone when the beam retreated. We were both in shock, my mom drove home and I don't remember very much except talking to Pebble Beach Secirity with my parents later that night. I was severely disturbed by the incident, I couldn't sleep for about a week, and even then I slept in the same room as my parents. At the time of this incident I was a senior in high school. I have since recovered, but I still have flashbacks. Needless to say I am now a firm believer in UFO's, as is my mother.
