NUFORC UFO Sighting 45909
Occurred: 2005-08-27 05:30 Local
Reported: 2005-08-29 16:12 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Murphys, CA, USA

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

From my rear deck I noticed a fairly large light, similar to a landing light on a large aircraft, traveling rather slowly from the Northeast. My deck faces North. As it passed by overhead there was no noise. The light was solid. As it travelled Southwest the light remained constant. If it had been a landing light it would have disappeared as the "nose" was heading away from me. I am at 3,500 msl, and it appeared to be between 5,000 and 6,000 msl. Just before I lost sight it appeared to be emitting very tiny sparks which seemed to swarm around the object. My observation of the sparks was very brief, just a few seconds.

Duration: 1minute
No of observers: 3

Location: Murphys, CA, USA

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

Meteor like object moving slowly eventually breaking apart leaving a blue streak.

This object appeared to be a VERY LARGE meteor but it was wider and moved very slowly in an upward direction. I asked my husband to join me outside and at that time it broke off in half and the top part continued on for another 10 seconds or so eventually dissapating. A blue "trail" could then be seen in the dark sky. What was it?????

What did I see? 500 Lights On Object0: Yes

I have told many oeople about my experience, but have never posted it!

I cannot remember the exact date that I SAW this THING; all I remember is that it was in JUNE, 1995. I worked in San Jose, Ca. and on weekends, I would go upm to Murphuys, to my new house that I just bought.

One night, I was going up HWY 4, aprox. 15 miles from home, when I saw reflections of blinking lights around the bend. I thought it was an accidentm or something, so I slowed down. when I got around the curve, I heard like a roaring sound and saw this THING sitting on or hovering on the side of the hill,

The white light was VERY bright, but it also had red and green lights on the sides. There was noone else on the highway!

All of a sudden, I got scared, and turned my lights off and floored my truck to get away from this THING! When I got around the bend, I pulled down my window and could not hear anything or see the flashing lighhts,behind me! Believe me, I have been in NAM and scared, BUT, never this bad! I got a very weired sensation and started driving again, IT FELT LIKE MY HEART WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF MY CHEST!

I was approx. 5 miles from home, and the next thing I knew, I was home!!! It was like an instant! I felt weired, and told my wife about it and we retired for the evening.

The next morning, I drove back to where I saw this thing and to my supprise, there is NO WAY for anything to be wheree this thing was; it was to steep an incline, so this thing must have been hovering like a helicopter!

I have seen several sighting over the years,and those were wittnessed by others. All I know is that I SAW WHAT I SAW!!!!

Tracked by a UFO

Around 1980 in early winter, I was driving home from Angels Camp, California, on Highway 4 eastbound. It was around 2:00 in the morning and snowing. I was just outside of Murphy's, when I pulled over on to a large snow covered dirt shoulder to tighten my tire chains that were hitting against the wheel well of my car. As I kneeled down to tighten the rear passenger side tire chains, a bright white light flashed on me, lighting up everything around me. At first I thought it was the headlights of a vehicle coming, but noticed there wasn't one. I didn't think anything of it, but a few seconds later it happened again. This time the light stayed on, and I immediately stopped what I was doing and looked to see where it was coming from. I noticed it was coming from directly above me shining through the snow covered clouds. There was no noise and I couldn't see anything other then the beam of light shining directly on me like a spot light.

I wasn't sure what was happening. Suddenly I felt a sense of panic. I jumped back in my car and tried to get out of there as fast as I could. I was about 15 miles from home, but because it was snowing, and the roads weren't plowed, I couldn't drive any faster then 25 miles an hour. During the trip back I didn't see a single vehicle in either direction. I felt scared and alone.

When I finally got off the highway and into the subdivision where I lived, I felt a sense of relief. But when I turned the corner to go up the driveway to my house, I saw a bright light at the end of the street shining through the clouds. It looked like a really large star. But I knew this wasn't possible, because of the low cloud cover from the snow storm. I was really frightened by the sight of this. I felt like what ever it was that shinned it's light on me earlier, followed me home.

I ran into the house and immediately woke my parents to tell them what I saw. They didn't think much of it, and just wanted to go back to sleep, reassuring me that everything was okay. That night when I went up to my room I was really excited and nervous. I was so wired I couldn't sleep, and stayed up all night into the next morning.

As a side note. I lived in Arnold, California for 7 years. It's about 4000 feet above sea level on the western Sierra Nevada mountain range. Living there I experienced many snow storms. When it snows there, a thick cloud cover blankets the sky. The clouds are very low to the ground, and you can't see through them. Whatever I saw that night somehow penetrated this blanket.
