Giant, silent, very close, circular off-white lights, light would dim then another light after, then another spaced apart exactly

Noticed circular light(s) one by one dim, repeating cycle.appearing through treeline, branches. Appeared at first to hover but was actually moving EXTREMELY SLOW. NO SOUND. Very low to ground, could see a silhouette as it crept by the treeline, in which I could judge it was HUGE. As soon as I grabbed my boyfriend to look, it was gone in the blink of an eye. He did not see it. I was not under the influence. I searched the internet to see if anyone else saw this, to no avail. I also searched supposed ufo pictures, descriptions, ect. The only thing I found close to what I saw was the Phoenix lights. But much much closer. I know I was not "seeing" things. I can describe exactly.

Saw unk shape object just darker that the surrounding sky. moving north

I was out walking. Looking at plane contrails when I saw an object that became dark then changed to a color just darker than the sky. At first, I thought it was a small cloud, but its movement was against the direction of the wind. Had it not shifted in color I wouldn't have noticed it. After its final color change, it was hard to see but its movement was noticeable. Almost like it was cloaking. I watched for a few seconds as it traveled to the north but got lost in the clouds and I was no longer able to see it. I was on the sidewalk looking towards the Sierra Nevada. It was a fairly clear day with a few clouds to the east. The temperature was about 55-60 degrees. There were lots of contrails from commercial flights. The local airport (Mather Airfield) was pretty active today with lots of military aircraft and lots of smaller private aircraft. This object that I saw was to the east, but I'm not sure how far east. possibly anywhere up to 50 miles away.

Nine white lights (or more) following each other equidistant north to south at 5:45 am

I am a 62-year-old male. I live near Mather Field Airport and TRACON in Rancho Cordova, CA, and notice cargo jets flying and landing all the time. I am familiar with flight times and patterns and sounds. I began my daily morning walk from my house at 5:45 am. The sky was clear except for some high hazy clouds creeping up from the southwest. As I was looking up at the sky I noticed a string of lights, not blinking, coursing across the sky in a North to South direction. I realized that these were not airplanes. They seemed to be going the same speed; not slow but not very fast either, about the speed of an airliner. They did not change shape or color, but like dots of white in color following each other. They did not change directions at all. I could not tell the altitude, but it seemed they were all at the same altitude; the altitude of an airliner. I did not hear any noise like an engine. I began counting them. I noticed that as I got to number 9, they were b! eginning to follow farther apart.

Duration: 3-5 seconds


Location: Rancho Cordova, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

Green triangular craft blinks with white light, then leaves tail of fluorescent green as it shoots into space.

I am a 56 year old woman of sound mind. I have been married to my second husband for 8 years. He was in the other room at the time. The exact time is not clear, but I believe it was between 6-7 pm. I saw the UFO from my bedroom window in the northern sky. At first, I noticed a flashing light, which at first glance, I thought to be an airplane as we live right next to Mather AFB. Then I noticed the triangle shaped object. It was pointed like an arrow with a space between the two sides. The color is what really caught my attention; it was a bright florescent green color. I knew this was no ordinary plane.

Suddenly, the flashing light stopped and it shot into space leaving a bright green trail behind. It was so fast, it could not have been an airplane. It was blinking, then sped away. Amazing.

It was not moving for the first minutes of two. Then it verry slowly got farther away and faded away.

Little army of star like lights pass over Sacramento County! Quite a scare.

We were looking in the sky like we seldom do and we noticed several lights some whitish blue and some light yellow. At first we seen three moving acrossed the sky not in any formation or nothing. Naturaly we keep our eyes in the sky and we noticed even more coming up from behind the others. As odd as it sounds we have seen these objects befor but,only one to three at a time, it was quite a scare to see them moving and scaterd across the sky above us. Star like lights some brighter than others but all traveling in the same direction, like a little army of them.

Red-orange ball of light over the skies of Sacramento, CA.

I work security on the graveyard shift where I drive a patrol vehicle around a parking area of office buildings in Rancho Cordova, California (just east of Sacramento). It was about 12-1:00am on Friday morning September 19, 2003 when I turned the vehicle to face south when something in the sky caught my eye. It was a circular red-orange ball of light that was hovering slowly east. If it were right in front of me I would have to estimate it at walking speed. The size, like throwing a golf ball straight up into the air about seven or eight feet. At first I thought it may have been a helicopter or airplane as this object was above Mather AirForce Base, which is inactive. Usually, however, a helicopter or plane is accompanied by flashing green or white lights, as I see them on a nightly basis. So I turned off the engine to my vehicle and opened the door to see if I could hear an engine of some kind ... there was nothing. This light continued to hover east for several seconds then came to a stop. It had only been still for no more than two seconds before it disappeared. It didn't fade or speed out of sight, but just vanished like turning off a light switch. I sat there for several more minutes hoping this thing would return, but it never did. I told myself I wouldn't sare this with anyone as they might think I was crazy, but decided differently when listening to the "Coast to Coast AM" radio program this evening with Peter Davenport. When Mr. Davenport shared his first experience of witnessing a U.F.O., my stomach sank like that first drop when riding a roller coaster. Not being a previous believer in this sort of thing, I know what I saw was absolutely real and someone else must have seen it too.

In the summer of 2001 my brother ((deleted)) called me ((deleted)) I live here in Salem, Oregon. ((brother)) was and still lives there in Sacramento, Ca. (Rancho Cordova is a suberb of Sac) he called to tell me he & his wife & two kids were watching a UFO as he spoke to me. I told him to go & get his video camera and film it. He had his wife (Maria) go and get it and they began filming it. It was north of Sacramento area over the city of Auburn, Ca. It was simply hovering not moving and was a good mile or so above the Auburn foothills. During the time they watched it two smaller UFOs came & docked with it and then left again. He was able to get the second smaller UFO on film as it left at a speed of hugh magnatute. It shot away so fast you almost miss it if you do not watch the film carefully. It turned colors at will but the camera did not capture the colors for some reason? After it had been there for approx 25 min or so it began shoting a beem of light or perhaps a lazer? down at my brothers home! the beam hit his neighbors roof then started torwards my brother and his two kids, when he told me that I told him to get them all inside and close the door and the curtains asap! Later that evening both my brother & I began making calls to the TV stations etc. This was what was so amazing--- nobody had reported it or called anywhere to report it! It was as if it were able to match their demesions or brain waves in such a way so that only they four saw it! The city of Sacramento is hugh as well as dozens of surounding suberbs and smaller towns all around and yet no-one saw this ufo or reported it! My brother mailed me the VHS tape of it and after watching it three or four times I looked online for a ufo center to send it to. It was Peter Gershwens (sic--Gersten)) UFO site. He emailed me after receiving the tape and viewing it to say it was a lousy filming job that only showed two dots one leaving the other. No thanks for sending it in no other questions nothing! Just a complaint that my brother did a lousy job of filming t! he sight ing. I was so angry that I ignored Peters email and told my brother if he ever saw another to just ignor it and don't even bother filming it since nobody seems to care. I am only sending this email because of something that I noticed when listening to a couple of sightings you had on Art Bells program this evening. That is-- the fact that in some sightings only a handful of people can see the UFOs! The hugh sighting over Phonix AZ. only a few saw why? I belive they have a way of aligning the dimesionial area they are in with the areas or perhaps brain rythims of those who are allowed to watch? You may be able to contact the other Peters UFO sight and get a copy of this sighting as I sent the original to him. Also accourding to christains the UFOs are belived to be the vehicles used by the angeles. Also as I have studied escatology for approx 15 years now I have found information from the now unsealed book of Daniel that the fallen angels along with Satan are to be cast down by Michael and the Lords angeles in the late spring or early summer of 2006. Please-- Simply note my information rather then erasing it because if it does occur it will serve as a witness of the fact that the Lords word in the Holy Bible is real and accurite. There are two other prophecys to note between now & 2006 first on July 5th of either 2004 or 2005 Terror such as the terror that occured on 911 will occur again, only it will be any type of terror attack on the US. And second the phophecy states "missle 2004 N.Y." It does not say if the missle blows up or not only that New York state or City will have some sort of nuclear missle or perhaps dirty bomb missle attack attempted. (Please note also that 911 was prophecised along with dozens of others all being 100% correct---as well) I hope this helps in some way, please do not post my personal info or email address on your open web site. Only what was put for brothers my report

For a brief second, there was a flash that lit up my familyroom. I couldn't see what direction or it came from or was going

As I fired up Art Bell, and turned on my laptop to read a story from cbsnews.com about EgyptAir Flight 990, a brilliant flash came through my blinds in my family room. I live in an apartment complex. My place is by the street, but normally, cars that pass during the night have a much fainter brilliance from the headlight, and it lasts longer. This time it was just a brilliant and quick flash of light. The night sky is very clear. I'm very close to Mather AFB, now closed. There was no sound.

While driving East on highway 50 fireball dropped out of sky.

I was driving,my wife was in the passenger seat,my friend john was seated in back seat.We were taking john home.We were aproching Sunrise ave. When this fire ball dropped out of the sky on the horizon.My wife and I both saw it as it was right in view.I think it was partly cloudy.We were both silent for about what seemed like a minute,then I asked if anybody else in the car had seen what I saw.John did not as his vision was cut off from the roof of the car. I was really relieved when my wife asked me what was that.It looked like the sun,it was hard to tell how large it was ,it was large enough to get our attention.My wife was a student,and I worked in maintenance at a local store.
