White flashing circle (?)

A white flashing shape was seen above my house. I live close to a small airport and check flight radar regularly. The shape had no noise and no flight trail. Never slow moving and it looked like it was changing shape. Nothing on flight radar and no weather balloons. I work from home and this was not a normal sighting.

Very high satellite looking lights that change course.

It was a very clear night at our lake house and we were on the boat dock looking at the stars. The wife Vicki and I on the opposite ends of same couch lying down. Every 15 min or so we can see a satellite moving high and on a straight course. We were both watching the same satellite when at the same time we Both said WOOO,, Did you see that. It moved slightly to the side and slowed then back the original speed... So we were back the next night looking for this action again. And again we did see the same thing 3 more times over three nights. Only looking 1hr a night. Then I started researching if a satellite can adjust It's course ? And I don't see that it can do that. I did see a very vivid sighting in the 70s and Im always looking.

On August 28, 2020 approx. 20:48. A group of 5 was looking in the sky to watch a hot air balloon take off. While watching this we happened to see a bright blue light play in the sky then shoot off. Lasted a total maybe 2 to 3 seconds.

I did catch this on video. I booked in on a few screenshots I took and you could see the windows or so it appeared.

It looked like it was hovering and when we light the balloon is when we noticed it take off.

Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

2 black dots following commertial air traffic

partly cloudy skies at high altitude, pinkish color in commercial air craft exhaust vapor from pre dawn sunlight visible and showing aircraft direction easily. Vapor trails observed were sharp and crisp due to absence of wind.

I was observing a line of 5 aircraft following each other in line separated by a regulated distance of about 5 miles. The next closest air traffic in the same direction was approx. 25 miles and following in the same flight pattern. I looked back to the 1st group of aircraft and noticed 2 bright dots to the right rear of the last aircraft. The observed bright dots were compared to turning on and off a light switch.

There were now 2 black dots to the right rear of the known aircraft. They were separated from the jet approx. the length of the jet itself and the distance between the 2 ufos by 1/2 the jet. The 2 UFOs followed for approx. 5 seconds then traveled in south in the same pattern passing into a cloud formation approx. 20 miles away.

Unable to locate UFOs after that. The unknown dots following the jet liner appeared to be the size of a airliner baggage cart in scale to the jet from observed distance. UFOs appeared as black dots and did not leave any vapor trail. No other witnesses as I was the only person at the county bus stop at time of incident.

White light that was still; only started to move 3 seconds after I started to record.

In the distance their are a row of normal red lights: but one light was yellow and slightly above the red rowed lights- After realizing the light hasn't moved I got my phone and started to record it-3 seconds into recording the light began to slowly move west. And disappeared.

Shortly after a human aircraft from the west at a higher altitude was travelling east. It was a white light than it shut off and turned to strictly a red light.

The object was shaped like a "W," but replace the two connected V's with two crescent shapes, and had no visible lights.

At approximately 19:25, my neighbor and I were outside chatting about the World Series.

We began to discuss the fact that the local university is broadcasting the World Series on the Jumbotron at the football stadium on campus. I glanced up at the sky in the general direction of the stadium, and saw a very large, seemingly partially materialized object low in the sky for the duration of approximately 5 seconds. It made no noise as it moved in a southwesterly direction, with no visible light emitted from the object. Wagering a guess of its size, I would say it was at least the size of a football field. No reference to the aforementioned football field intended.

The object was shaped like a "W", but replace the two connected V's with two crescent shapes. My neighbor saw it too, and said it looked like a flock of geese. I have never seen geese fly in a formation other than a "V" shape. However, I can also state my neighbor is not the smartest person on this planet, as he was calling a baseball "inning" an "ending" as we spoke tonight. Perhaps it was a flock of geese, but I thought this worth reporting.

White Fast Orb with Pulsing Red Glow

I was pedaling home going south on Broadway. I had passed Walgreen's and yet was not to the University. During this time I saw a white orb moving quickly from West to East. What caught my attention was the rhythmically appearing red "ring" that appeared every 2 seconds or so. The red was an amazing light or ring, I can't describe it. But the red rhythmically appearing pulse was something I'd never seen before. It made me think of Venus' rings, I don't know why. I wanted to use my iPhone to video it, but I was too amazed. It disappeared out of my sight just because of the buildings that were too high to see it anymore.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one who saw it. I was in the street among dozens of cars and I almost expected people to pull over to talk about it or video it, but maybe since they are car-people, they weren't able to see it as easily as me; a bike-person. :)

Orange circular object seeming quite close and large. Very bright. It moved eastward and then changed directions back to the west before appearing to pick up speed and gain altitude. The light dimmed and shortly disappeared. There was no sound whatsoever. It was a family camping trip in which the entire family watched the event unfold.

I stepped out to smoke before bed, and noticed a white light moving rather slowly in the sky from west to NE. No sound heard, and the light either totally disappeared or went behind trees and out of my view.

I came inside to check tracking of the ISS which showed it already moving into Quebec. I came inside to check the location of the ISS after only a minute or two or watching the moving white light. Besides, the ISS online tracking showed its path over Nebraska, and not over SE Kansas on this specific orbit.

Could have been a satellite, but it looked too bright to be a satellite. That's why I initially thought it was likely the ISS.

I was happening to open my bedroom window, when a glare from a silver aircraft caught my eye. This is to the south, towards Clayton/Mount Diablo, to be exact, over a closed Military installation shut down after WWII. At first glance it looked like a plane from afar, but when I looked back it was GONE. No jet trail, no trace of anything, just plain gone. What was strange was how sunlight seemed to really glare off of the aircraft, almost like a material I haven't seen before, which is why I took the second glace.

Within 20 seconds I checked radar, I have live data provided by FAA that I pay for, there was NO aircraft anywhere near. It was moving to slow to be a jet, and dissapeared way too fast to be human, couldn't be a military craft because the base has been closed for decades.

Two weeks later, I saw it AGAIN. This time I was walking my dog, and didn't dare take my eyes off of it. I shouted to a neighbor I had noticed was across the street to look, and we both watched. This thing dimmed out like a light burning out, is this evidence of manipulating time to propel craft at Godly speeds? After it, disappeared into thin air, in complete shock, I went home, not wanting to stick around a second longer.

About 15 minutes later, a military style helicopter, which during my twp years I have lived here, have never seen. It circled the area for a good twenty to thirty minutes, as if looking for something.

At first, I thought it was a shooting star, but it was visible for at least ten seconds, and had a trail of white sparks behind it as it crossed the sky in a straight trajectory. Comet?

Small single light with no sound flying low and slow, chaning colors and even direction quickly.

Heading east on North Parkside Dr in Pittsburg, CA 94565. Driving around 35 MPH. We noticed an odd yellowish light around 300-400 feet in the sky heading west/north-west in direction. My wife was the driver and was first to notice the UFO straight in front of us about 1/4 mile in the sky. She said there is a UFO. I looked at it and thought at first it might be a helicopter as it was kinda hovering. It was already dark out and had patchy fog.

After I looked closer I saw it continue to fly westward but not in a straight line. It seemed to be smaller than a helicopter but couldn't make out any size or shape. It was just a single light kinda moving westward maybe 10 MPH.

I rolled down my window and stuck my head and chest out of the passenger window to watch it as it was behind us a little now about the 7-8 o'clock angle. My wife continued to watch it too. I was telling her pull over, pull over. We next saw it change to a bluish color and move really fast in ! a small area switching directions quickly and almost randomly. It then changed back to the yellowish color and gained a little height as it continued to travel west by north/west. Almost as if trying to stay in the low fog/clouds that were in the area. We never heard any sound from it and the lights were weird in color. I guess you could say they were kinda rich/dark in color. Not like any lights i've seen before.

Huge triangle over Pittsburg, CA, and Large Rectangles over Concord/Pittsburg

I'm not sure of the exact date of the first REAL sighting... i had just gotten my father into the hot tub at our home near the marina in pittsburg. A huge Triangle with white/orange lights on the tips (3) and what looked like the tail of a plane sticking out of the back at about 45 degrees only it looked fake like it was a piece of pipe with white christmas tree lights wrapped around it that someone just stuck on for fun.

It came directly over my house, really low, maybe 500 feet, headed north out over the water and then slowly off to the right (northeast) It made no noise and was really slow, there was a plane at a much higher altitude on the same heading and we could hear the jet sound from it.

I haven't seen any more triangles but have noticed something that really bothered me several times since then. Huge dark rectangles.. barely distinguishable from the night sky. No noise no lights and travelling east over Concord and Pittsburg late at night. I would never have seen them unless i was already looking up and even then they were almost the same color and shade as the sky.

The triangle was lit up like disco, but the rectangles i see now and then and have thought about reporting to the faa or local authorities cuz they could be anything...

I've never seen anything like it.

The UFO I saw in the sky was a lemon yellow, oval-shaped object about the size of a football feild or larger with a cloud of yellow around it.It had a line of many red, circle-shaped spots across the middle at the halfway piont. There also was a white trail following after it. The trail was sparkley like diamonds that began to fall and fade out of the sky. The object remained in the sky for about 30 seconds.The craft seemed to move slowly in a slow clock-wise fashion in a straight line from South to North and then suddenly took off with unbeleiveable speed before it disappeared. The white trail remained for one minute or so after the UFO was out of sight. This is diffeent than the one I saw before. It made my windows vibrate with the low humming sound that came from it.

I tried to take a picture of it with my picture phone but the phone was saying "Error" Every time I tried to take a picture, and I had enough space avalible!

white ball of light illuminated sky over Hwy 4

My girlfriend and I were traveling home eastbound Hwy 4 between Pittsburg and Antioch when we both spotted a white ball of light coming from the Northern direction and landing in somewhat of a southern easterly direction. While on Hwy 4 heading east it looked like whatever it was, landed somewhere I would estimate to be between Hwy 12 and Hwy 160. We assume it crashed/landed/exploded or whatever and illuminated the entire eastern skyline with 2-3 bright flashes of light. I thought at first it was lightening but funny thing. There wasn’t a single cloud out. We continued to monitor the sky on our drive home to Stockton and noticed as well several aircraft in the sky but we are more than certain these were normal airplanes. We were both wondering if anybody else noticed this since we were not the only autos traveling Hwy 4 last night. Could this have been a meteor?

Dec. 8th 2006 7:30 PM saw bright object go down over immediate horizon then flashed like it might have impacted something.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette with my deaf brother some where around 7:30 PM Dec. 8th 2006.

I was facing north and the single object came from the south my backside so I didn’t noticed it after it was down to the horizon pretty low.

It had a bright appearance not yellow or dim about the size of a pea or smaller held at arms length.

The strange thing is that I thought it was a meteor but what struck me as odd was there was no trail or tail like most meteors leave not even a short one for its size! I have seen tails or trails come from a lot smaller objects that this one. There wasn’t even any sparks like a sparkler so to speak coming from the object. It came down on a 45 degree angle or steeper.

After the object that was way off in the distance probably miles away disappeared down behind a tree line 100 feet up the hill from where I was standing my brother and I saw a bright flash come from its immediate direction like maybe it impacted something some where.

I have never seen a meteor quite like it and have never seen one go down and then flash the way this did. I don’t think it was a UFO but how do I know?

I really just wanted to report it and maybe somebody could explain to me what the heck it was or if was tracked by someone or observed buy any one else.

appears organic in structure

I wrote to you about this location before, and caught it on film July 5, 2006. I used a vhs camera rather than a digital becaues I did not want pixelation to interfere with what I was filming. Some time later I went and bought a dvd vcr player to transfer the film to dvd so I could view it on High Definition big screen TV. From above the bart station in Pittsburg, the view was over the area where the pittsburg power plant was located. Behind this some distance away sits the Suisin marsh to the left and to the right the Travis Airforce base. As before the area observed seemed to be floating above the earth, you could see the thermal windmills beneath it. It seems to be organic in nature and takes up an immense amount of space. As sunrise advances you can see the sun rising between the earth and this thing, the sun shining behind the thermal windmills. This particular morning there appeared to be some sort of accident that kept the thing from cloaking. Before as the sun came up and started over the horizon, you could only see it while it was just rising, after it got up a bit in the sky, it seemed to cloak itself, I caught this on film in July, as soon as the sun hit a specific point, it dissappeared completely, and looked to be a patch of burn off or smog that never leaves no matter what time of day it is. just an orangeish smear across the sky until the next sunrise. At first I thought it might be a hallucination caused by plasma or water in the sky reflecting something that was on the earth somewhere, however I have studied the area, even using satellite images of the entire area and can find nothing that looks similar on the ground in a 50 mile radius. Anyway on this day, what people tried to convince me was a cloud, had an accident that made impact on this "cloud". You could still see the thermal windmills underneath this object, but on top of it was definitely a crash site. There were two spiraling stacks of smoke coming up from the place where it impacted? Five of the b! igger cr aft we had seen before were "circled" around the crash site. It was windy that morning, however nothing in that direction was moving with the wind. The smoke spirals stayed where they were for quite some time. The other craft which looked like a measure of "jet stream" except they were luminous, and brightly lit, instead of staying flat horizontal to the earth, were all in the sky above the crash site, bovering in one place sitting dexter and sinister to the earth, tilted diagonally.

Smaller craft were seen on the film we took of it after slowing it down to the slowest point we could without going frame by frame, film taken of these before revealed what we could not see because they moved that fast. Where I could see sparks showing up in the high sky with the naked eye, slowed down you could see they were some type of flying craft, that would enter and leave the larger craft. I tried to find any news release about activity that morning for several weeks, and finally found a report where they had reported that a flying craft had crashed into the Suisin marsh. the area of land where we keep seeing these things, are across the Sacramento River, and there is an area there of swamp and island marsh type land where at one time supposedly toxic waste had been dumped. Whether or not this is true I dont know, it doesnt look healthy. However that land is still viewed below where the thermal windmills are located. And since the sun comes up and can be seen between the thermal windmills and whatever it is that floats out there and cloaks itself at sunrise, I am inclined to believe this is something else entirely, and not only that it appears to be organic in nature. The film caught in July shows structures built on it, towers with strange large ball shaped things stuck to them, and several craft on platforms that tilt diagonally just before they project themselves into the air at such a velocity, all you can see is an instant of a streak accompanied by what may appear to be a spark when the sunlight shines off their hull. Recently I finally found someone with a large screen HD TV, (A retired school teacher) and I was able to take the film I had saved to DVD with me to view with them.

This definitely is not a cloud. And there definitely are structures there, and I dont know about the craft, but they look like flattened pac-men, and appear to be a bit beat up, however that may be a part of their camoflauge. To glance at them if you dont really LOOK at them I suppose some might try to say they were cloud formations, however each one are identical to the other, and it shows several of them "grounded" and several more that take off or dissappear. With the wind blowing at the rate it was, which you can see by the swaying trees also in the picture, this "cloud" did not move in July, nor has it moved since. Its like a cloaked organic structure that is always there, with craft that come and go. It is not Travis Airforce base, nor is it swampgas. Its not morning afterburn or fog, and its not in a place where there would be a large amount of fog. I am surprised after my posts that I have not heard any feedback. My friend who lives at the house where we shot the film also has a lot of footage of this phenomenon, including the craft that crashed and the five surrounding craft that hovered overhead at diagonal stances.

holy MOTHERLODE OF A MOTHER SHIP

I did a film this morning with my vcr recorder, not a digital, and didnt want to use digital for this past two weeks we did use it, and the pixelization i think gets in the way of the value and stability of the real film of the object.

I am speaking of a sighting that my friends and I had of what could only be explained as a UFO. They told me that they had filmed the incident and I came over to see what they had, My lead guitar player and myself joined our friend with our own camera the next morning when at approx. 5:15 not only did it do a repeat performance, but it was followed by another craft of approximately the size of 5 football fields. The smaller craft looked like sparks in the early morning sky, and we didnt even know they were smaller craft until we slowed the film down to frame by frame, and were amazed to see many of them entering and leaving the larger craft. The air around where they flew seemed to be mixed up like ripples in the water, it was like looking into water, and like someone took a sponge lightly dipped in paint and went over what was really there. This cloaking activity seems inherent after sunrise, and the only time we have been able to actually SEE them is right at sunrise before the sun rises high enough over head for them to reflect the sky back at themselves. So I went back again with my digital camera, which has filming capability for short spurts of time, and waited. I almost thought (even though this was a week later) that I wouldnt see a thing, but right at 5:23 the sun started comingup and there they were , like they appeared out of nowhere, this one took off to the east. I lost sight of it around Bailey hill, and figured Id have to wait another day, however as I got closer to home, (13 miles away from where we had photographed them, I went under the train trestle down the street from my house, looked up and bigger than shit there it was. I barreled down the driveway grabbed my camera and bolted up to the street in time to catch it on an .avi file. The next day, my friend Bobby calls me and tells me that he caught it landing on the far side of the power plant, the far side of the power plant is delta of the Sacramento River, and an island that is mostly marsh and hazardous waste. No one goes there, no one human anyway.

I figured that since they were appearing close to the power plant that the draw of the electricmagnetic field had to have something to do with them appearing there over and over again.

So 4th of July, we went up and w atched fireworks from Bobbys back yard on the top of the hill above Bart in Pittsburg, California, I took off at about 1 am telling them i was going to get my high powered telescope, my bushnells and my old fashined type of VCR recorder, you know the type that actually took the big VCR tapes to record? I was back at 4 pm. setting up the telescope and the vcr recorder to watch the sky. I had a feeling whatever we would see this day was going to be HUGE. and buddy i tell you what it was freaking HUMONGUS. The size of the city of Concord at the very least. With hudreds of hundreds of the size flying ships that only days before we were referring to as "mother ship" WHAT A LAUGH! OH MY GOD. The video I got of it this morning, actually shows movement on the ship, shows crafts set to depart, on platforms that swing upwards to a sinister or forward slash direction, and when the ships departed, they didnt go straight up, the platform they rested on inclined, and these fast mother flockers left with the force and speed of a projectile, what looked like might be a jet trail, turned out to be motion blur. We found all kinds of sparks and fast movement in the sky that many were unable to be seen by the naked eye. As a matter of fact, when you pointed the camera at them, you could not see the craft on the preview screen of the camera at all, and looking through the eyehole, they werent there either, we had to just point the cameras in the general direction, hit the zoom and width mode and even then sometimes couldnt see them until you slowed the film down by 900 percent. i AM going to try to translate the film to my computer from the TV somehow and copy it to a DVD. But I tell you what I am so blown away by the whole thing I dont even know what to think say or do. The blow away at dawn was looking at what appeared to be an elogated fireball, with the multitude of disks and smaller craft, AND stationary "buildings" with activity able to be seen usning the zoom lense of the camera. Ill have to enter more on this later.

Motherships and armada in California skies

I got a phone call from a friend who claimed they saw a bunch of small ufos and one large mother ship, I thought they were bs-ing me but they had it on DVD after recording in on thier digital video camera. I went to check it out. We watched the film at regular speed the first time and saw several little specks appear and disappear too fast to see what they were. We slowed the video down to a crawl and watched several small flying craft, that looked a lot like flying oreo cookies.

A few seconds later this large "line" of lights showed up, the way the light hit it a few times made it go from translucent to kind of a plasma looking thing, all that was really clear were the lights. using zoom, we were able to see it was rotating, and the lights were actually pale shades of green pink and yellow, alternating as it spun around. It didnt fly straight, rather jumped around, the smaller craft looked like they were trying to "stir" up the air to keep the larger craft concealed. After examing the film, we decided to go outside and look at the space it happened in, at exactly 5 am in the morning of the 17th, we saw it appear on the horizon, again the way the sun hit it, it seemed to "uncloak" for a few moments, there appeared to be a shape to this of an egg, the lights going around the middle with the small end towards the top and maybe a quarter of the egg at the big end out the bottom, it was like looking into water. there were a lot of "sparks" that appeared in the sky, thats how fast they were, they only looked like sparks to the naked eye. again we got out the camera and tried to catch some of it on film. Then a Second large ship appeared behind the first one, they both moved in a south east direction across the sky, the smaller ships were like a whold armada flying around the larger ones, dissappearing and reappearing again, it appeared like they would go in and out of the big one, but you couldnt see it enter it, only where it would appear again at the top of the big one. I only know I was akeptical of what was told to me about what they had filmed the morning before, also at exactly 5 am. And that in the first light of the day, with the sun coming up, it did something to the way they were able to conceal themselves, this was not a jet trail, and were not falling stars. And it seems they have a habit of hanging out over the top of the power plant at 5 am. There seemed to be a distortion of the sky around where they were, magnetic field possibly? My friend has the camera and the footage taken of this phenomena, I am still just flabbergasted that it was still in the same area two days in a row.

Five sightings of glowing red orange fireball object over Pittsburg, CA

As of March 11, 2006 at around 5:45 am I encountered a bright red orange circular object in the sky. During the time I was delivering newspapers at Kirker Creek apartments when in my car I looked up at the sky facing north I saw a bright red orange fireball type object in the darken sky. You couldn't miss it. It was travelling at a slow rate at a low elevation around and above 500 ft in the air. I observed the object carefully to see if this was a plane or helicopter but all I could see was a bright red orange glow all around the object. There were no beacons of light flashing on it like a plane nothing I could spot similar to a plane was on this object. This object though had this slow strobe blinking on it. I watched this object fly in the sky for five minutes or more. It was heading south toward a patch of clouds as it entered the clouds I could not see it any more the object did not exit the patch of clouds as I presumed it disappeared in the clouds.

This was not my first sighting, as I witnessed this object 4 times in the past 2 months during the same time at around 5:30 am while delivering newspapers in the same area in Pittsburg on Railroad Ave and Buchanan in the neighborhood where Hillview Jr High is at. My first sighthing was in the middle of Janurary of this year on a Wednesday same time. I was on the street of Redondo Dr. and Railroad when I looked up and saw a red orange light and had the same slow glowing strobe blinking, it was travelling at a slow rate heading east it was at a low elevation and the object didn't make a sound at all because this object was above and near me I could have heard plane noise from it but I didn't, so I started following it in my car untill I lost it the incoming clouds. I have never seen anything in the sky like what I was. I've seen so many planes in the night sky that this object differed from any other plane.

My second sighting happened two weeks after the first sighting, end of Janurary. This sighting happened on Saturday around 5:30 am again I was in the same area. I was on El Dorado Dr just a few blocks away from Redondo. I was facing south west when I suddenly saw this time two bright red orange lights come from the south as the two objects where flying parallel to each other at the same rate of speed. The two objects were coming towards my direction at a fast rate of speed like above 100 mph a sec then then the two objects slowed down at the same time and they were on the same low elevation I saw before. I just watched the two objects fly north into a patch of clouds as I lost them.

The third sighting happened in Feburary this time I was on Buchanan and it was wednes day around 5:30 am again. I saw the object fly south at the same rate of speed and elevation and same physical characteristics I've been witnessing. I watched it for two minutes and then looked away from it for a couple of seconds as I kept on driving. Then I looked back at the direction I saw the object was at and I could not find it anymore I looked all around in the sky and it was a clear morning. At the slow rate it was going I could have seen it pass by me even though I looked away from it I know this for fact because when I see a plane fly by I could still see pass.

The fourth sighting happened on the last week of Feburary on Saturday the 25th two weeks after todays sighting same time around 5:30 am. I was at Kirker Creek apartments when I looked up at the sky facing north I saw the same exact object. I observed it very carefully as it was flying and hovering in the sky at a low elevation. I can see it always flew in an quick stuttering up and down motion as it was doing this the oddest thing happened nothing like I saw in my previous sightings there was this tiny but visable object coming out underneath the main object it had the same color and form and it was coming down very slowly toward the ground like in a hovering and floating movement. As it was coming down the tiny object started to fade away until you could see its color any more. It vanished away. The main object just continued fly ing south into the clouds when I lost it.

Again what I've been seeing is a bright red orange fireball type object in a circular shape flying at a low elevation in the area above Railroad ave and Buchanan Pittsburg CA at a time around 5:30 am. I mainly see this object whenever the clouds start to come in and after rainy weather when there's a mix of patchy clouds and a clear sky.

white object flying overhead -

My coworker I carpool with was driving on Hwy 4 towards Antioch Pittsburg when we noticed something in the sky. Nearing the Pittsburg Bart Station, to the north east area of the sky we could see, looked like a comet of some sort - like something was burning in our atmosphere, then we noticed there were more. one in the center and two on the right side of us. These were not aircraft or planes. There was a white tail on all of these "things" one seemed to float and then move quickly to the left of us. they were situated at different angles so we were not sure it was a meteor shower we were seeing. then the one on the right seem to seperate. There was a ball or round shape sepereated from the burning white tail. after it seperated, the tail seemed to dissipate. we looked to the left and there was another which seemed to seperate, but since we were looking towards the sun, we could not see it as we drove closer to Antioch, CA.

me and my wife were driving from pittsburg to concord going over concord bulvard. My wife oversaw somthing in the sky. I was driving and at a stop light i could visualy see 2 orange lights in the sky.

I found it odd and my wife was shocked i had never seen anything like it before. So i decided to pull over and get a closer look. At first i thought it might be a plane or somthing but it had no flashing light and wa just orange. so we pulled over the two lights were seprate from one another one was in the top right of the sky the other was towards the left. the one on the left slowly was going downwardthe one on the right witch we were mainly focusing on was going left and then shifted and went right it then stoped and either droped or somthing sparked underneath it as if it droped something the same collor as itself. then it moved towards the right and blinked away.

I couldnt belivre what i just saw i dindt know what to think of it i then focused my attention on the other light witch hade quickly changed its slow moving pace and went toward where the other had just disapeeard. it then reapeated then didnt drop anything but it bliked away. it was crazy . oddley i seen it again both in the same town with more witnesses i had already told the first sighting to. i will post seperatly on the date of 2/14/05 if anyone is interested

I was taking video and still shots of the moon which was full and very bright that night. The moon was in the south. There were large patches of clouds that were moving west to east They were being highlighted by the moon glow. I video and took digital pictures for about 10 to 13 minutes. I was using a sony handycam on a tripod.

As soon as I finished taken the pictures. I came inside my home and reviewed the tape and pictures with the aid of my computer. The video has many interesting ufo objects. I have study this video many times over the past few weeks, and cannot come up with any logical answers. hopeing you all could help in finding the answer.

The trianlular object flew over my car

I was driving home a spotted what I thought was a reflection in my mirror, but when I looked back I thought it was headlights, but instead I saw a large (bigger than a car),black, triangular shaped thing in the sky. It was flying just above the powerlines. It had 2 white lights (like headlights) on the front of it and an orangeish-red light on each side (they were blinking.) It started out on the left of my car, then it flew over the top of my car(I honked my horn as it went over me) and I watched it fly away. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore. It was headed in a NW direction. I was only a few blocks from home, thank goodness!! It is the type of thing that you're afraid to call the police about. They might think I was nuts!!

A friend and I watched as alight approached from the horizon. As it got closer to us, it resolved itself into a cluster of red, green and blue lights, quickly flashing in what seemed a random patter. The shape of the object was not discernable, only that it was a fairly dense cluster of quickly, randomly flashing, multicolored lights that made no sound whatsoever. We watched as this object approached my house. At this time, it was approximately 200 feet above my house, where it proceeded to hover. Then, a spotlight shone down from the object onto the house. The attenuation of the light faded about 3/4 of the way to the house. At this time, my friend and I, rather frightened by the experience, ran into the house.

Fireball sighting

I sighted a fireball very low in the southern sky. It traveled in an east-to-west direction for approximately three seconds. The fireball was bright green (similar to a flare)with a smoke trail. I'm not sure if it made a sound since a busy road is nearby. It burned up while in flight. The time I've reported is accurate (I set my clocks to a time server.)

Green Fireball along side auto. Changed direction, and seemed to accelerate at great speed and dissappear within seconds.Sighting corroborated by local radio station KSFO 810 AM.

Feb 11, 1999, Driving home from work in Sunnyvale CA. North on highway 680, to Antioch, CA., I could see Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus all lined up out of my car window to the west. Every few minutes, I would take a quick peek as I was driving. It was finally a very clear night and could not wait to get home to take a look around the night sky with my 4 inch binoculars. As I drove East on Highway 4, at the top of Willow Pass in Pittsburg, CA., at 7:20 PM. My attention was caught by a very bright green light flying next to me. My Corvette is very low, so it appeared to me (after looking at it) that the green fireball was less than a mile away from me to the North, and maybe 1000 feet high. My stereo was on, but I thought I heard a noise more than the wind rushing past my window. I was driving at about 85 mph, in the left lane, in traffic, so I know others saw it. I was able to look at the fireball for only a few seconds at a time, because I was driving. The Green fireball was not as bright as a welders arc, but had about the same sharp clarity with a lite green tint. It appeared kind of egg shaped overall, white in the middle, and a difficult to percieve tail of green flame. It was bright enough to where it was hard for me to see detail. Its size could be compared to a small pager (beeper) held at arms length. When my attention was first drawn to the bright clear green light, it was at the rear of my drivers side window. Because of my speed, I looked for 2-3 seconds, drove, looked 2-3 seconds, drove, looked 2-3 seconds. Because I thought it was right next to me, it appeared to be going about

Random flashing multicolored lights, with one spotlight, shining down onto my house.

Standing outside in my garden, I noticed a light on the horizon. It was red at the beginning, but after a few minutes, it got brighter as it approached and resolved into a multicolored profusion of lights.

The event lasted about 5 minutes, and during the last 30 or so seconds, the collection of multicolored, randomly flashing lights stopped directly over my house, which was about a hundred feet from the garden. It was dark, so I couldn't discern the shape of whatever it was, just a bunch of randomly flashing multicolored lights.

It appeared to be about 100 feet above the house, and if I had to guess based on the cluster of lights as an indicator of size, I would say that it was about 20 feet wide.

Anyway, as it stopped over my house, a spotlight shone down from it onto the house. I must emphasize that it made no noise at all during the entire time, even when it was almost directly overhead.

When the spotlight appeared, I panicked and ran into the house. The person who I was standing with outside watching it followed me after about 15 more seconds. After I had calmed down some, we both went back outside and it was gone.

hovering flashing lights, spotlight shining on my house

I and a friend were observing a thunderstorm on the horizon. A red light appeared on the horizon and moved across the sky towards us. As it got closer, it became clear that it was more than one light. It was a cluster of about 6 to 8 lights, arranged in a roughly circular array, with 4 lights, corresponding to 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees on the circle, being brighter than the rest. This cluster of lights was flashing in a bizarre way, not in a pattern. It was difficult to discern any physical shape other than the lights, but as it hovered above my house, I estimated its altitude to be about 200 feet. It made no sound whatsoever, that I could tell. As it stopped above the house, a spotlight shone down from it. At this time, I became frightened and ran into the house, followed closely by my friend.

NOT a ufo report. This is an abduction.

this is not a craft report. It is an abduction report I don't know who to write to submit so I chose you. I was 2 years old and I believe I was abducted. I have the same description as most, levitating, bright lights coming from windows. I was not afraid, I felt calm, I just remember floating from my Hydabed in the front room and I turned vertical. I look around around my body,only to find no one carring me. I levitated south through the front room into the kitchen and it was dark then. when I got to the back door in the kitchen i just "blacked out" thats about it. I'm really serious about this, even being 2 years old my memory is so vivid. I remember telling my friends in daycare, and throughout. I would like you to send this account to anybody willing to listen.

A large lightning bolt appeared to come out of a white truck horizontally and strike a power pole.

I was returning home from work on a summer day, as it was only just beginning to get dark. I was just outside the city limits of Pittsburg, KS, on extended 4th street. My car was following another car and an unmarked white delivery-style truck was approaching us from the west.

We were a few blocks from the trailer park that I lived in, when a large lightening bolt appeared to come horizontally out of the back-side of the white truck and struck a power pole. The car in front of me kept going and I could not tell if they noticed this extremely unusual event. The white truck continued on, giving no indication of anything else unusual. I was scared to meet the truck on the highway, but did not have any other choice and passed the truck without further incident. I drove into the trailer park as the neighbors were coming out of their homes, wondering why their electricity had just shut off. I remember someone asking me what I had done, as it seemed that the power went off just as I drove in the neighborhood.

I would sincerely like to know what this could have been, as I have puzzled over this for over 20 years. The date is approximate. I remember the approximate time of day and that it must have been the middle of summer as the sun had not set. There were no clouds that I remember- and definately no thunderstorms! It was a clear, calm evening.

I'm not sure that this qualifies as a UFO sighting, but I remember at the time that people were saying that the government was moving secret objects in unmarked trucks. This is the only place that I have ever thought might be able to provide me with an answer.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 42279
Occurred: 1980-05-01 00:00 Local
Reported: 2005-02-24 21:12 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Pittsburg, CA, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

Saw bright white light coming from UFO, that left our atmosphere possibly, in Pittsburg, CA.

We used to sleep out side in the summertime. One night I slept outside by myself. I noticed an object moving to the left in the air. It kept moving horizontally to the left until it stopped. Then it just rose until until it looked like a star because it seemed to have left our atmosphere.

It looked like it could have been over the hills behind uptown Pittsburg. It was a slender, bright white, oval light radiate from beneath, so I figured it would have been circular if you were right underneath it. I guesstimate even for a child when I saw it, that it would have to have been hundreds of feet long. The bad thing was I could have woke my parents but I was to amazed by what I saw that I regret them not seeing and believing it. I would take a polygraph even to prove my truth. I was getting chills earlier.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 166214
Occurred: 1972-08-01 20:45 Local
Reported: 2021-12-28 14:12 Pacific
Duration: About 30 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Pittsburg, KS, USA
Location details: Rural area at edge of small town named Pittsburg, KS on East 4th st. And Free Kings Hwy.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Full Triangle shaped with white light on each corner, silent, moving faster than most airplanes or jets I have seen.

I have been wanting to report this for years. I was 11 my brother was 6. We were playing in our front yard. It was almost completely dark. I saw something fly over. I looked up and saw it. I yelled at my brother to look. It was huge, black triangle with a white/ yellowish light on each corner. Flying very low. Completely silent. It was flying from SW to NE. We ran inside and told my dad we saw a flying saucer. He didn’t believe us and dismissed. I went back out to see it but it was gone. My dad took us to every air show in our area. He also flew a small plane. So I was familiar with planes and jets. This was nothing like I have seen before. I actually forgot about until I saw it on the show “Ancient Aliens “4 years ago. I saw it and I told my boyfriend …that’s it. That’s the UFO I saw with my own eyes when I was 11. At the time I didn’t realize it, but it was probably heading to the air force bas in Columbia MO.
I know it’s an old report. 50 yrs ago. But I wanted to tell people what I saw.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 49492
Occurred: 1962-05-15 21:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2006-03-08 20:42 Pacific
Duration: 20-30 secs.
No of observers: 1

Location: Pittsburg, OK, USA

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large, red light, flanked by smaller red lights that appeared to change shape

I was a young boy, appx. 10-11 yrs. old at the time of my sighting and living in a small, farming community in SE Oklahoma. I was an airplane enthusiast and modeler at the time, but UFO's were not in my vocabulary. I had never heard the term before.

One spring evening, probably late May or early June (appx. 1962-63), I went to bed at 9:00 pm which was my normal routine. My bed was placed next to my window (which faces west) and, as usual, I would stare out into the night sky prior to falling asleep. This time, just as I was drifting off to sleep, I saw an unusual object floating in the sky, seemingly just outside my window. Coming fully awake, I was startled to see a large, circular red light, appx. the size and color of a traffic light as seen from about 100 ft. away, hovering at a height appx. 50-60 ft. above the ground. On either side of the large light were two smaller red lights, about one-fourth the size of the central light, and angling upwards at about 45 degrees so that the entire object appeared V-shaped.

I continued to watch the object for appx. 15 secs. at which point the following occurred; the large, central light dimmed to about half its former luminosity and the four smaller lights winked out completely leaving only the large light visible. Appx. 2-3 secs. later, the four smaller lights reappeared only this time in a straight line, two above and two below the central light. The smaller lights were also dimmed this time to match the brightness of the central light. I continued to watch this arrangement for appx. 15 more secs. before the lights winked out completely.

I remember that my window was open that night and at no time did I ever hear any noise from the craft nor did it change position while in view. I also remember there being a stiff breeze that evening as evidenced by the rustling of the tall grass in the field directly behind my back yard which would seem to rule out a balloon of some kind. I also believe that all of the lights correlated to just one object and not that all of the lights were individual objects.
