It looked like a boomerang, but then I remembered that boomerangs would be spinning, that cross was just there with a faint white light

I was out playing some board game with a friend of mine in my backyard. we both decided to stretch and look up at the night sky. and that's when we saw it. A random cross in the sky. At first we thought it was a boomerang and laughed. But i remembered boomerangs can't go that high. nor would they be just suspended in the air. Then i saw it. a faint glow of white light from the bottom. it was there for 5 seconds before fading away, as if it were never there.

During the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, I witnessed an inexplicable sight of stationary orbs dancing in the sky, accompanied by c

While I was on a call at 11:25 pm, I stepped outside to witness the peak of the Geminid meteor shower. However, I had to hang up when I saw an astonishing sight in the sky. I noticed an abundance of orbs, gliding high in the sky, as if they were dancing in the air, hundreds of feet above the ground.

At first, there was an airplane that passed through at around 11:30 pm but after the plane had passed there was no sound and it made no sense for the orbs to remain, except for the wind chimes and the gentle breeze.

I initially thought it could be fireflies after the noise settled, then noticed all the dogs in my block barking, and it was too high for fireflies to exist in such cold temperatures at such elevations.

I am certain that it was not Starlink, as the satellites move in a straight line from point A to B, while these orb lights were stationary, except for the occasional dance with each other. At one point, some orbs even created a triangle formation after the airplane passed. I stopped recording the incident on my phone because of the cold weather, and I felt a bit scared and wanted to go back inside.

The orbs were visible for around an hour, and they were hundreds of feet above the ground. It was too cold for fireflies to exist at that elevation. I'd if my neighbors might have seen them, as they turned their backyard lights on for a while to look for their cat and then turned them off.

The most fascinating aspect of the incident was that there was complete silence. There were no drones, planes, or any flying objects around.

Although it was cloudy, the orbs were visible for a long time. I am not sure where they came from. There is an open field by my house, and the orbs appeared in empty space, which makes it unlikely that someone was trying to light up their house with Christmas light projectors or something similar. The airport is about a mile or so to the south, and this appeared to be northwest.

The incident has left me feeling confused and a bit reluctant to share my experience, as I don't want people to question my credibility or label me as crazy, and the only reason I’m reporting it now is because I found out about a guy named Chris Bledsoe and the orbs looked similar to his experience but these were en masse.

I was talking to my co-worker about seeing a lot of UFOs lately when I pointed out a star that was moving fast. It flew right at an airplane but passed and seconds later it just disappeared over head. One airplane could have been repelling the light away from my vantage that's what it looked like.

Landed on the back pasture of my ranch

My dogs started to bark I had just brought them in around 8pm at night. I thought it might be a coyote. So I wentout withmy rifle. I saw a light blue glow in my back pasture, so I got into my sidex side and went to investigate. There was a craft around 300 ft in diameter sitting in my pasture. It had landed I saw the front of it get really bright and a ramp came down. I am not afriad of things. Nothing I could do if they wanted to kill me anyway/ so I sat there and watched. A bright red light then came over the utv and I said well shit,, now what. 4 very tall humoid like reatures came out they were at least 8 ft tall. Silver suits. I waved what else was I gonna do, I put my rifle down and they approached me. I went well dave this is it . They came over and talked in the english language. Asked me who I was I said I own this ranch and I have a landing fee,one asked me what that was, I said never mind was a joke. The one said ah a human attempt at being funny.i asked them what they w anted and they said they were having engine problems and since there were hill all around it would be safer for them to land here. I said that’s fine. I do not really care then one asked me if I was scared, I said nope you have more power than I do, andi like ufos/ I am a pilot.i asked the one if they had any good weapons. He said not on this craft we are a survey team. I said cool I said I would like to look inside if I could. They said maybe someother time since I might get very sick with out protection so we talked afor about hour, they were friendly besides what could I do if they turned violent? My other neighbours always saw something they however were over a mile from me. I asked where they were from they gaveme some solar system namei cant remember but they were very very nice to me. When they left the one shook my hand and said it was nie meeting someone who wasn’t terrified,ei said well just don’t beam me up I have a disabbled with who needs me. They just looked and me and the one smiled and said we know. , I thought well hell who and what are these things. I asked them how old they were one said he was over 900 years old, I went no shit.the others are older. I went how long you guys been coming here? He said many many of your earth centuries, I said I figured. Lots of rumors about you people I asked them if they would like a cup of coffee one said no thinks that stuff will kill us. I said well I wouldn’t want that.so a few hours later they left. Was very very quiet. Then after they left the neighbours cows started mooing really loud and the coyotes started to howl a few weeks later they came back, this went on for over a year. So that time I got to go on the craft. They gave me something like a space suit to put on. I was not impressed. Seemed pretty bland inside to me. I was expecting a whole bunch of compters and flashing lights. At least the part I was in was nothing there except a big open area. Lots of weird drawings on the walls tho. Looked like egyptian tome. E other than that nothing impressive I only stayed like 10 minutes then they said I needed to go outside and when I did they sprayed the suit with something, looked like water they said I needed to leave it on for awhile.i figured it might have been some type of radiation. Disperser I don’t know. They left and came back a month late always around dark, I like them then we had to sell beciase of my wife condition and habvent seen them since. I did like them and trust them.i always looked for sometype of landing pad but was never anything there. However when they left? Damn that sucker went up around 500 ft, tilted and was gone . I mean gone. What light they had on disappeared like magic. I did findout some information. This was before putting started his war. They told me that we are headed for a bad war with a bad man. And they wont allow us to use our nukes, I said good I do not want to glow in the dark . They finally said ah another attempt at human humor, I said well I try, so they do know some of our sayings, they one said swell do not giveup your day job, I said smart ass, he kinda sorta smiled, since their mouths would barely move,,, so there ya go my epxeriance with ufo;s

Just before sunrise on the morning of the 25th of November 2019 I was sitting in my hot tub with three other friends at my property near bald rock in berry creek California and we were observing satellites and discussing them when we saw what looked like four satellites very close to each other moving from the west to towards the east. They were in a staggered line formation, all traveling the same speed and direction, approximately the same speed a satellite moves, but a bit slower, and at first we thought they were satellites on a similar orbit. As the objects passed from our far left to far right field of vision we began seeing more and more of these objects essentially moving in a staggered line formation and stretching for well over a mile. It took at least three minutes for them to all pass to the far right of our field of view and out of sight. There were several triangle formations within this staggered line but it appeared they were three separate o! bjects, not on me triangular shaped object. There was no sound and no bright lights. Just a steady line of these dots that were unambiguously remarkable. The sky was completely clear and there were no clouds. After approx two minuites of watching I ran to get another friend who confirmed what we were seeing as he was still able to see about ten of these objects in the last minute or so that they were visible so that makes five witnesses total. . I have seen many strange things out in the mountains where I live because there is very little light pollution but this was single handed lay the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.

The space craft looked just like the craft in the movie Predator.

I’m a disabled veteran with chronic pain. I was out in my hot tub at around 2:30 am. I am an avid star gazer, and the area around my house is perfect for watching the night stars!
On this particular night, I was gazing up into to the night ski. When all of a sudden it flew right into my vision.
I was looking south toward Sacramento California, when it came into view, I could clearly see that it was the same type of craft from the movie Predator. Being a propulsion engineer In the navy, and stationed onboard the USS Ranger CVN 61. It was no higher than 5-6 hundred feet from the ground. I immediately look for a propulsion signature as it passed over. There was no noise, no flames, or heat signatures, no wind from engines, to speak of. I live not too far from Beale AFB, it came from that direction. It was a very clear night and I saw it as clear as that seen In predator as it flew over!!!

I am a Vietnam vet and have seen all kinds of aircraft but i have never seen anything that big moving that slow and not make a sound.

Observed bright orange light moving unlike a jet or prop plane that seemed to stop in midair, and jerk or rock slightly.

I was observing Mars through a narrow opening in the Oak tree canopy toward the western sky. I then saw a moving light through the Oak trees coming toward me to the left. The moving orange colored light then became obscured by the canopy.

First I assumed it was just a light from an airplane. I moved further out from the house where less trees could obscure my view. The orange colored light then reappeared in the sky off toward my left view. The light was moving very slowly, and then it seemed like it was not moving at all except for a slight rocking movement. It also became slightly brighter. The brightness of the object than started to fade until I could not see it any longer.

On this particular night, I was star gazing sitting in the spa, when I craft, that very similar to the type you'd see in the Predator movies, flew right over the house. It came from the direction of Sacramento and I could see it coming from miles away. It literally looked like the scene in Predator, every time they get ready to come down from the ship, in the movie.

As a propulsion engineer, the first thing I looked for was some kind of propulsion signature from the rear of the craft, but there was nothing and no noise!!! No noise at all!!!

There were four large wing-span aircraft. They were flying In a straight line eqidistance apart. They had flashing red and white lights. I could hear the faint rumble of an engine, but they didn't seem that high up because the lights were so visible. They weren't moving that fast. I thought it odd they were in such a straight line, so close together in jet stream of each other and moving slowly. They appeared to be coming from the South going north. I figured they possibly could be coming from Beale AFB. It just appeared strange being in formation like that, as well.

silent aerial object seen in photo but NOT at the time

To Whom It May Concern:

This afternoon I had driven to the Campus of Butte College to check out the Art center and measure time and distance for me to drive as I am contemplating taking classes there. I wanted to send photos to my friends so I had my digital camera with me and did just that. I wanted to get the idea of the surrounding countryside as it is so beautiful so took some shots of the surrounding hills and trees as well as of the buildings on campus.

As I left parking lot 3C, @ 14:27, I took this photo facing, at a guess, approximately WNW to show the hills and trees. I did not notice anything unusual at this time. I arrived home and up-loaded the photos to my computer so I could send them to my friends and saw, for the first time, something in the sky above the far hills. I had seen and heard nothing at the time.

I want to assure you that this is not a hoax, as I take this stuff very seriously but just hoped that someone might be able to look more closely at the photo and figure out if it was an aberration of some kind.

Thank you for your attention,

It was silent and I was only able to see it about 15 seconds. The shape was like a saucer with a ball in the middle. The center was very shiny with the saucer shape being gray. (I don't do drugs and I don't drink0

Amazing footage of ufo in nor cali

It started at sunset seeing red balls flashing white red blue green purple all sorts of colors, just hovering low over the horizon of the town, over our balcony we could see the whole town. And the two lights would move, then stay still, then literally dissaper and reappear. At some points the circle objects would look like two or more circles making sort of a shape and fly slower then they would go straight back into perfect circles again and fly off slow. At one point the craft was visible it was metallic and had one light flashing white for a little, then the craft looks like it shape shifted into green and purple lights then back to a diskish shape with the one white light and flew off and we lost it in sight, throughout the night lights were coming from all angles, aligning, communicating, in a weird way it seemed like.

White circle of light surrounded by a red halo is spotted by the Sun

I was taking pictures of the sun and at first there was nothing except the sun present. After a few shots, i noticed this red spot in the camera that looked like a red eye with a white dot of light in the middle. I kept taking shots of the sun and each one taken had the red spot whit a dot in it.

Each picture showed the spot in a different location around the sun. Depending on how close the dot was to the sun determined how much red it had around it. If it was far from the sun there was no red, just the dot of light. If it was close to the sun there was a lot of red around the spot.

There are a few pictures that I took of the sun behind the clouds, and in the ones where the sun is behind the clouds completely there is dot but you can see the dot and when the sun starts to come out from behind the cloud the dot of light is there and the red is slightly visible through the clouds.

The red pretty much stays consistent in shape, yet in a few pictures it looks as though it has a "bump" on the top, like the traditional UFO shape.

Bright round saucer, stationary, red lights on right, over Oroville, WA

Saturday night, October 2, 2010, at 7:30 PM Ted and I saw another UFO in the SE sky, the first one since our first & only sighting three years ago.

The light was huge and artificial, compared to the 3 trillion stars in the CLEAR sky that Saturday night.

We watched the BRIGHT light through our binoculars for 1.2 hours until we had to go to bed.

The bright object was shaped like a saucer with a large bright dome on the top.

When it rotated, it was shaped like a sausage.

There were three red lights on the right side.

The UFO did not change location and did not make any noise for 1.2 hours.

The bright object was not a plane, not a flare, not a helicopter, not a satellite, not the moon, nor a star.

Ted and I both saw and agreed on what we saw. We were both sober, of course. :-D I took a photo just in case I could catch a shot with my little camera.

The light does, indeed, show up on my computer with contrast enhancement.

UFO caught on Google Maps.

I was looking at property to buy on google maps. In the picture that google took there is a very curios ufo in the sky. There is a exhaust plume and a craft, the curios thing is that you can see an exhaust area where the ufo seemed to appear out of nowhere and then accelerate. Anyone interested in seeing this should go to Google Maps, type in Lumpkin Road, Oroville, Ca.

Use the satellite view and go to the first bridge over the lake, then go to street level and point north and up. It is VERY visible and very intriguing.

Object seen in Kelly Ridge

It was right about 11:15 pm when i went out onto my front steps to have a smoke. Moments after I sat down on my stoop I noticed a faint shimmer of light at about a forty-five degree angle from the horizon immediatly infront of my position. After focusing directly on the object i realized that it was not a star or satelite. I sat staring for probably thirty seconds when i actually realized what i was seeing. I stood up and as I did a second craft came into my field of vision and literally chased the first object away. It seemed like where the first object was located was less than a mile from my house. It also seemed like something fell off of both the first and second objects, possibly landing in the golf course in my neighborhood.I then stood for a few minutes, finished my smoke, then went inside.

Bright Triangle Accompanied by 3 jets.

2nd Submission because date was wrong it should be 08/11/04 My husband and I witnessed a very large bright light (larger than Venus in am)moving moderately from North East to South West. It was accompanied by 3 blinking red lights which we decided were jets because we could hear their engines. The jets did not stay in any formation with it but moved around craft. When it was directly overhead we realized that it was a triangle shape. After it reached a certain point South West of us it apparently turned (trees were in our way) and began to head in a West to East direction. At that time we lost sight of it.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 5173
Occurred: 1998-12-15 17:10 Local
Reported: 1998-12-16 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Oroville, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

A pair of lights joined by another light. They separate back into pair and single.

Three craft, which I first thought to be satellites, forming a close encounter over the Sacramento/Marysville area - 50 miles to the South. As I watched it was apparent that two of these craft were flying together as a pair up from the south, and a third craft was approaching the encounter area from the West. Clear skies, some very high clouds, good lighting, about a half hour after sunset. The craft pair was arranged so the larger of the two was always to the left of the smaller. All three craft went through continual complex fast changing lighting arrays. Their lights weren't synchronized. Quite bright, brilliant colors, or a brite white light disc. Sometimes the lights would double or form arrays of four, all flashing differently, sometimes with different intensities. This didn't appear to be the light signature of the satellites which are visible here every clear evening, and their movements implied airplane, but on an out of atmosphere scale, which meant that the lights in their fantastic array were very brilliant. The smaller craft almost always was two tightly bound points of scintillating lights. Often times there were four. Only rarely did it become a single point of light. There did not seem to be an structure associated with the light arrays, yet they maintained an integral formation as if there were a structure. It appeared several times that it was presenting a changing profile to the viewer as it moved around, that perhaps a cause of the observed relative movements of the lights. As they converged the solo craft from the west executed a turn to the north and began flying with the two coming from the south. I then thought I was watching airplanes, but there never was a sound, and the scale of movement was wrong for an airplane. The solo craft cruises around the pair who turn to the east. There is movement between the pair, but it is subtle and their overall position remains exactly the same to this observer _througout_ their entire flight! The solo light is, what one could almost call, animated, especially as the scale of this encounter became apparent. The solo craft flew north above a cirrus changing vectors a few degress several times, at one point appearing to reverse course as it circled back over an area - they were complex very large scale manuevers in a patch of sky the size of my hand at arms length - never leaving a contrail or noise. As it did these high speed manuevers, it reached its highest point as it turned westward at about 10:30 as my arm would point to it. As it slowly went into the west glow I could see that it was still manuevering but it was so far away that distance only indicated that this light or group of lights was not an airplane and was way off planet as compared to the usual couple of dozen satellite crossings. Eventually this brilliant cluster of glittering jewels was lost in the evening glow. As I caught up with the pair they had traveled across the sky in an enormous turn from the east to north over in the Reno area. That city is almost exactly East from this observer. They traveled north 15-20 degrees then I saw that they were just slowly getting closer together in appearance which meant that they were now traveling to the Northeast and they maintained that till they faded into the night sky a hands width above the horizon. At their highest in the East they seemed at about 10:00 in the sky as pointed to by my arm. There was never a sound. The scale of these executed movements would seem to require high altitudes. This was a very grand encounter, very majestic, and it would seem, when postulating actual physical craft, quite an extraordinary expression of speed and power. During this 20 minute dance the land and sky were very quiet. No jets and no local noise at all, it was quiet. Any sounds caused by these craft would have been audible, if they had been aircraft, as exampled by similarly placed jet flybys. This happened at 5:10 to 5:30 pm Pacific Standard Time on 15 December 1998.

The craft was 250ft of the ground, moving north directly overhead slowly. There was no sound! Headed over town, made a left bank, and went south at a very high rate of speed. Very soon after that all the neiborhood dogs started to all bark at the same time.I know what aircraft look like that was no plane! or chopper!

Saw 2 glowing spheres going from West to East for about two minutes.

I was outside my house at XXXX Ashley Ave. after dark when I saw two spheres approaching from the West going East.

I called my wife and she came out and saw them too. They were about 3 feet in diameter and less than 1000 feet in altitude. One was above the other and the lower one was in front. Their color was a very pale yellow and they glowed. Their speed was about three times as fast as a small single engine airplane. There was no sound.

3 to 4 ft long,gun metal color,very load shook home and us,could sit still above us, was seen two years

Very load shook home and us. Went from very fast to full stop above us. Went silent then reved up and moved away slowly.UFO was 3 to 4 ft long and above me and my father about 15ft. Came back one year later at near same time. My brother was home alone and heard the chickens going crazy, looked out and saw a shadow circling on the ground. He went outside with a 22 rifle to get what he thought was a Hawk. Said he was on a hill and the hair stood up on his neck, he felt like he was being watched, he then looked up and saw it 4 to 5 ft away from him. It was never seen again

I was only six, but I was playing jacks in front of my home, I looked up at the ball, and there they were..no noise..I know now, they were traveling in a southeast direction..I can't remember what they looked like, only they were not airplanes or helicopters..It might be accociated with the Roswell incident...

I can't remember what they looked like, it bothers me today..I couldn't get my mother to come and look. It happened in the evening, it must have been warm weather, because I was playing Jacks outside, if it was daylight savings time, it could have been as late as 8:00 pm. THey were in formation and made no noise. The only reason I saw them is because I looked up at the little ball I was playing with. This happened in 1947..
