Duration: 20 or so seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Porterville, CA, USA
Location details: Approximate location, 1 mile or so from the nearby high school

Shape: Other
Color: Dark metallic
Estimated Size: Box truck?
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: South
Angle of Elevation: 40
Closest Distance: Aproximately 600-800ft? Give or take
Estimated Speed: 30-35 mph


Octahedron, dark metallic, 600-900ft away, followed parallel w vehicle at same speed, turned 90 degrees away, no lights or sounds.

Friend and I were driving on the east side of Porterville, not too far from the high school, approximately 8-9 pm. It was a clear, cool night, and I was seated in the passenger seat with the window down. We're traveling maybe 30-35 mph? I just looked outside to my right and within my peripheral vision, I noticed something. I looked up at the object and, in amazement, I pointed at the object and stated to the friend driving something to the effect of "look at that."

The object appeared as if the craft was following our vehicle. It was keeping the exact same speed as us and following parallel with us, approximately maybe 600-800 feet away, give or take 100ft or so. It was night and the object appeared like a dark charcoal-colored metallic object with no lights, so it was hard to give an exact distance. This object appeared maybe the size of a box truck? Again, hard to say the exact size and distance, as one can affect the other. The object also appeared to have markings/engraving/designed on the metal. I could see these markings due to the moon reflecting on the top right side of the object.

Anyway, I immediate exclaimed "look at that" and pointed at the object. Immediately after I pointed at the object, it made a 90 degree turn away from the vehicle while keeping the same speed. There was no stopping, or slowing down, an immediate 90 away. Also, the craft was completely silent, no sound emitted at all. This craft turned away from us and headed toward town, appearing to fly right over the middle of the city, appeared the same speed. After watching it 10-15 or so seconds I lost sight of it.

To summarize, octahedron/diamond shape, dark metal, appeared like design/markings (I could seen the moonlight reflecting off one of the 8 sides, top right), no lights, no sound, followed parallel with our vehicle at our speed, 90 degree turn away the second I pointed at it. I'd love someone to contact me for more information or take a serious report as what I saw was, I believe, extremely rare.

Stars moving in perfect line

I was looking at the stars with my telescope when all of a sudden these stars start moving, I though my eyes were just playing tricks on me so I called my sister out to come and look. And she saw them to, these “stars” were in a perfectly straight line and there would be about five of them and then there would be a tiny gap as well just like this ( . . . . . . . . . . ) and I have no idea what it is, and I have also seen things like this in my town to.

A large circular (perfectly round) object glowing amber moved slowly north and west and appeared to stop over Three Rivers, CA, or there abouts before letting two identical objects drop 90 degrees from the bottom. The two objects were indentical but very much smaller. The following day it began to rain heavily with hail. This was around 1/27 or 28. The hail event would identify the exact date as we have not had hail before or since for a very long time. Seeding?? Who knows?

Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright orange lights turn into slow moving saucer shaped object in the night sky.

At 9:00 my daughter and I went out for our evening walk and had been walking for about an hour when we came back to my house. We were standing at the end of my drive looking at the stars when my daughter pointed out what at first looked like a bright orange fire ball but it was quite a ways away. At first it was sitting in the same spot but after a few minutes it started moving in our direction which would have been north. It moved very slow and as we watched the lights started flashing. We watched to see if it was an airplane but it did not look like an airplane as there were no red lights and the lights that were on it had started flashing and seemed to be moving around the object. The object was nearly over us and it slanted as it turned and the top of the object had what I can only describe as a dome. It then began moving faster and as it went over us we could see the lights that were orange and moved around the outside of the object. It never got! close to us or close to the ground but close enough that we could see the lights and the dome. Finally after about 15 minutes of watching the object sped up and we could no longer see it.

UFO paralleling a man made aircraft during a suspected "chem-trail" operation caught on video.

On 05/27/2013 at approximately 7:30pm I was in my backyard in the process of filming a man made aircraft for a video I was making on "chem-trails".

Upon reviewing the video on my P.C. I noticed that in the first minute of the video I had also captured something strange that I had not noticed during filming, probably because I was looking threw a small digital display while filming. However, the video clearly shows a dark, round object that appears to come down from a higher elevation, behind the man made aircraft which was heading North.

The UFO then appears to catch up to the airplane and it appears to be flying parallel to the airplane before it vanishes behind a cloud. The UFO had no contrail behind it nor could sounds of a helicopter be heard.

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Emitted other objects

Bright orange light in the sky and before disappearing it appeared to drop 2 bright lights or fire balls.

We exited a building facing South and up in the distance was a bright orange object slowly hovering North-East. It appeared to stop moving at times, then it would get closer, and it did not move about like a helicopter or airplane. It also had no blinking lights.

We watched this object in the sky for about 5 minutes. About a minute before it disappeared we had seen what looked like a smaller bright red light fall off or out of the UFO. Then, as we were discussing that that light may have been a tail light or a wing light, another red light fell off or out of the larger orange object.

Only this time, there was no mistaking the red light for a fixed light on the larger object. This red light was again smaller than the orange light in the sky and it fell downwards quite some distance before it faded out or disappeared. Within 10 seconds of that 2nd red light, the entire orange light/object flickered and faded out of sight.

We were also too far away to discern any shape the object may have had. To us, it appeared almost like a planet you would see in the night sky. Only this was about double the size and obviously had characteristics not of a planet!

huge craft moving at incredible speed after hovering for about 3 hours

At around 7:30 PM on March 7, 2009, my boyfriend and I observed what we thought was a very bright star in the western sky. It was much closer then any other stars and it was relatively large but it was not moving, just hovering there, so we ruled out and airplane or helicopter. At around 10:15 PM I had to drive my brother and sister to their grandmother’s house for the night. The kids went outside first while I grabbed my things. One of them screamed so I ran out to see what was wrong. They immediately pointed to the object which we earlier thought was a very bright star or planet, but this time it was bright red, still sitting in the very same spot it was just 3 hours before. By this time my boyfriend and my other brother had also emerged from the house. After observing it for about five minutes the big bright red ball shot across the sky at an amazing speed and covered a distance in one second that would take any airplane a good 5-10 seconds to cover. Then it slowly faded out and was gone.

Triangle shaped Bright Red Strobes Observed

In the late evening hours on 9-21-07 I was outside in my front yard before turning in for the night. I have seen a few weird things in the sky in the past few years but mostly just solid white lights that move quickly from east to west when the normal air traffic flow is north and south in this area. Last night I looked up to the sky to the north/east and immediately saw three very bright red strobes in the shape of a triangle. I noticed that the stars were blocked out in the middle and it was just black. The strobes were constant with no black out at all. The object was slowly moving from east to west/northwest. There was no sound at all. This object had to have been either very large or extremely close. I tend to believe that it was a combination of both. I opened my front door and called to my wife who was inside the house. She came out but the lights were to distant and she could not see them. She then called to me and stated "did it look like that?" I looked to the north east sky and saw a second group of lights that was exactly like the first and following the same path. It was once again three very bright red strobes in the shape of a triangle. We watched this set of lights pass overhead the same as the first until they went out of site to the north west. I would beleive that they were military related only because I witnessed a similar type incident in the 80's late at night when a very strange shaped craft passed overhead in plain view of at least two witnesses. Both were full time law enforcement officers same as I. The next morning there was breaking news announcing the brand new B-2 stealth Bomber. My wife and I are now both real estate professionals and non drinkers for the most part.

A bright red glowing light that was loosing altitude coming from the western sky and going east towards the horizon

It was a bright red glowing light. At first my wife and I thought someone had fired off some fire works but then we noticed that it lasted way to long and the trajectory did not match that of a fire cracker. Then we thought it was an airplane but the light also shortly after certainly was not that of a plane. So we thought possibly it was a meteorite but we have never seen a meteorite last as long as this light did and it got closer and closer to the horizon and then it disappeared. I have seen some interesting sights over the years such as the Northern Lights when I lived in Washington and when I made trips to Canada but this was unique. I do not believe that life from other planets, similar to ourselves, is visiting us because of the technology that would have to be obtained and that even at the speed of light it would take milleniums just to travel any where in the universe. I do believe in higher life forms of an angelic type but such contact at this point in time would be of those angels that have rebelled against man's creator and are actually enemies of mankind which is reflected in 2 Corinthians 11:14, 1 John 5:19 and Revelation 12:9. But I strongly do not believe that this situation has anything to do with what we saw. I would like a logical explaination for this unidentified red light appearance. Was the red light caused by some type of natural occurance or was it man made? After my wife saw the light she told me that a teen age son of a friend of ours saw the same type of light last night. He shared this with my wife this afternoon at about 1 pm when my wife was visiting with his mother.

Light over Porterville, Ca.

I am sending this report in as I just read the earlier post from Porterville.

I was outside Standing in my driveway when I saw this same object. It caught my attention because the normal air traffic pattern in this area is North/South with very little variation. The only craft I have ever seen traveling East/West are military aircraft of some sort. I saw this object traveling almost due East.

What I saw was a very bright light that was constant with no flashing or blinking as with normal aircraft lights. The object appeared to be at a lower altitude or was very large. I could hear absolutely no sound as it flew over. I would normally hear a jet engine if it were an airliner or normal military craft. We have an airport for smaller prop planes near the city, This was definitely not prop driven as we can always hear those planes overhead. Not sure what this craft was, but never have seen anything like it before.

Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 5

Location: Porterville, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Aircraft nearby

Fireball above Porterville, California.

As I was driving away from a restaraunt, I saw a bright white fireball rising in the Southwest sky. It left a trail of debris or gas, and my first thought was that it was a missile. It seemed to gain altitude, then disappear, leaving behind a contrail of multicolored gases (orange, blue, white). As I approached my home, a man and his two children were standing at the corner, and I stopped. He said he thought it was a missile test. I've never seen anything like it in my life. The "trail" of gases persisted for approximately 10 minutes after the fireball disappeared. I noted what I believe to be an aircraft in the vicinity of the fireball.

Occurred: 2001-01-25 21:00 Local
Reported: 2001-01-26 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Porterville, CA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

I watched a ufo cruise by my house at 21:00 at low altitudes, noiselessly with ferriswheel lights wit a strangesaucer shape.

It was approx. 8:45-9:00 P.M. It was a cloudy night with rain falling sporadically, I was letting my cat out to do her thing when I noticed a Saucer shaped vehicle moving very slowly with no noise whatsoever. It was approx. at a 200 ft. altitude level and it was close enough that I could tell it to be about the size of an 18 wheeler truck. If you put your arm out and stuck your thumb out horizontal it would be the size of your thumb from nail to knuckle. My best guess is that it was about 300 yrds out. I was looking west from my porch, and the vehicle was traveling from north to south at approx. 5 miles per hour, coming to full stops occasionally for 1 or 2 seconds then continuing on till it disappeared from my sight. It had spinning lights red, blue, white and green it had the appearance of a circus Ferris wheel. The sighting took place within a 2-3 minute period. When it started to rain , I realised that I was standing in my front yard with nothing but my underwear and I returned to my home .

UFO sighting

It was a summer affernoon in Porterville, California, we went out to lake success with the family.

It was me, my brother and our friend we decided to go to the restroom, when we where done we walk several feet away from the restrooms my brother and friend decided stop and and chit chat mean while I'm just looking around and then I see a light brown flying saucer fly across just above the trees and zips straight up into sky and disappear and a soon as one zips up the next one follows in the exact same path and several follow.

As many as 15 flying saucers one right after the other in daylight hours about 300 yards away and about 5 stories high the object where flying. During the time the saucer where flying by I told my brother to take a look up in the sky he ignored me then I ask him again he was so annoyed by me and he told me to wait while he talks to our friend so I continued to look up in the sky till there where all gone.

Since I was the young one they never ask me what I wanted so I never said anything until we where adults. I can tell my brother belives me now.
