Large white object with a red companion

Large white object caught my eye as I viewed the constellation orion. Somehow there were now 4 belt stars... until one started moving. The white object was brighter than all the stars this morning. It changed course and was moving. There was a faint red object following it that matched all speed and maneuvers maintaining the same distance and both stopped when I started trying to film the bright white object. They again started moving when I was done filming. All that appears on my camera footage is a fuzzy barely visible white fuzzy circle even though the object was extremely bright.

Close altitude proximity and fast...the moving brightness is what caught eye.

Happy New Year, Peter!

There were numerous reports and videos of sightings from California, Nevada, and Arizona, of the re-entry of 2015-080B / 41178, on 2015 Dec 23, near 02:10 UTC (Dec 22 18:10 PST). It was the rocket body of the recent launch of Progress MS-01.
It was the model 11S510, which has an empty mass of 2410 kg.

If you received reports from Thailand and neighboring countries, of a meteor-like object seen on Jan 2, just before dawn
(6:36 AM), that was the re-entry of 2015-074C / 41107, which was the second stage of the Zenit-2SB rocket, that launched Russia's Elecktro-L 2 satellite. Its empty mass was 8900 kg.

Best regards,

Characteristics: Lights on object

Silent large v-shaped dimly lit object with 4-5 lights on each side that glided very quickly in sky

At approximately 8:00 pm, on Oct. 10th, 2015, my boyfriend and I were looking up at the night sky in Moorpark, Ca.

We observed the stars and the usual flight patterns of airplanes and other small aircraft.

Suddenly a v-shaped (or boomerang shaped object) appeared above us, slightly north, heading east in the sky, then quickly disappeared.

It seemed very large, dimly lit, and almost transparent with 4-5 lights on each side.

It appeared ghostly, as it did not make a sound, while gliding at a moderate speed. I witnessed this for 3 seconds, and my boyfriend saw this for 2 seconds.

Neither of us has witnessed anything like this before.

Shape: Sphere


Orange glowing sphere traversing the sky and changing course abruptly

Date and exact location are approximate but the event is exact. It was after dark and I observed an orange glowing sphere moving across the sky moving in a straight path sloping downward at about 30 degrees lower than horizontal from right to left. The degree of luminescence was a little less than the moon on other nights. It was a soft, ember-like glow.

The size, while impossible to judge due to no reference objects or clear idea of how far away it was, affected my field of vision in a similar way that a very large plane would have had at about a mile or two away flying at 500 knots. At first I thought it was a plane, in fact. It had no blinking lights of any kind and was just a glowing sphere. The straight line path suddenly and abruptly bent into a new straight line path at about 30 degrees more upward than it was, but it still went down towards the horizon until behind trees that blocked my view.

Unfortunatley, I didn't think of reporting it or know where to. (I heard you on Coast To Coast tonite and now know.)

I am a 68-year-old male with a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and am highly trained as a Scientology counselor which training includes extensive observation drills and ability.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Emitted other objects, Emitted beams, Changed Colo

A huge, bright, star-like, light appeared in the sky above the Moorpark College / Simi Valley area.

There was a huge bright light in the sky as we looked out our garage door around 5:10 am on 7/14/04. The light appeared to move back and forth and slithered in the sky. The shape changed sizes and but remained in the same location for nearly 30 minutes. As the sun rose, the light moved higher in the sky and was visible until about 6:20am. The shape changed appearance on all four sides with a sunbeam affect, changing size about every 3-5 seconds. There was a grey-blue haze and a green haze that would appear and disappear. The light was mainly white, but orange-red, green and yellow small light would occassionly appear on the lower sides (alternating).

At night,looking out window. All of a sudden 5 bright dots (not blinking), come blasting through the sky in this formation: (this 1 is much faster than others) . . . .

(lagging behind) Also, the objects left a trail of yellow that faded away in seconds, and also for some reason made my lamp blink a few times as they pasted over.

It looks like a nearly isosceles triangle, formed by three of the objects, with a fourth object lagging behind the triangle formation, by a length of approximately 2-3 lengths of one side of the triangle.

Duration: 2 minutes

Location: Moorpark, CA, USA

Shape: Oval


Large reflective oval object hanging motionless above the mountain ridge, north of Moorpark, CA, seen in daylight, at sunset.

My husband and I were driving north on Fwy. 23, which links Thousand Oaks to Simi Valley, CA. The sun was low on the horizon, casting very bright light. Just above the top ridge line of the mountains to the north of us I saw what appeared to be a very large bright light, stationery in sky, but hanging low over the ridgeline. I joked to my husband, "there's a UFO." He immediately saw it, too. As we drove, we discussed what it might be, as it was so large and did not appear to move at all. As we got closer, we could see that it appeared to be less a light, and more an oval-shaped object that was reflecting the sun's rays. It was very bright, but also had color to it, as though it was reflecting not only the sun's rays, but the colors of the landscape below. My husband was driving, so he was not watching it as consistently as I was. As we were continuing to talk about it and my eyes were on it, it suddenly appeared to grow smaller, as though it were receding rapidly. In just an instant it appeared to be a white cigar-shape, then it was gone. It did not reappear, to our knowledge.

Oval shaped metallic rotating object with blinking lights. At first sighting it was rotating above a house then zoomed in closer to me. When my father came out to witness this sighting the object slowly moved steadily off in the distance heading east over Simi Valley. The object also had an aoura around it.

As I was walking outside I noticed a oval, metallic craft rotating above a house I thought to myself if I was crazy. I called my parents they came walking up muttering to themselves "Is this kid crazy or what." So, the craft had blinking lights and it was rotating closer. The craft rotated constantly. It was nothing like I have ever seen before. Two airplanes flew over the mysterious object. My parents stared in awe, they called my brother. (Which he stared at it in amazement.) The thing also had a grayish aura around it. Its lights were orange, it's color was silver metallic. After that, it continued it's course east.

Silver Sphere in Southern California

At the time noted my self ((name deleted)), my brother, and our friend witnessed a spherical object hovering in the Eastern sky. It staid dormant for appx 3 to 4 minutes when two smaller, orange-colored spherical objects came towards the larger, silver sphere. One smaller sphere came from a western direction whilst the second came from an eastern direction. Once attention was focused back on the larger sphere, it began to move to left, right, left, right, left, right and disappeared.
