Very Bright circle aircraft with 4 bright lights like lightbulbs

April 26th, 2020 @ 20:18 (8:18 PM) I was outside relaxing with my older and younger sisters and my old dog. It was outside right after the sun went down. It was 91 degrees that day so it was nice out. I then saw a bright light on the horizon towards the west where the sun went down. I thought it was Venus because Venus is the evening star. I then saw it moving slowly so I thought it was a plane, helicopter, or a drone. The light stopped in place and then it moved rapidly. It then stopped in place. This is when my sisters got a little concerned about it. I ran to get my binoculars. I came back and I looked through them.

This is what the UFO looked like. It was a circle with four beams of light on the bottom. They looked on lamps. I had an amazing pair of binoculars that were very expensive so I cold see every detail. The aircraft was extremely bright. My sister tried to take a video and we have footage of it. The video is not the best because it is an iPhone, but at least we have the event on camera. The aircraft then dropped down towards the horizon until we could not see it anymore

Small Oval Like Object Splits Into Two and Zips Back and Forth from in Under 3/12 Minutes Over San Gabriel Mountains.

During the evening while sitting around our fire pit, my family and I noticed a small yellow/orange oval-shaped object zipping across the night sky traveling well over the normal speed of a plane/jet or fighter jet. Going from left to right (W to E) from our perspective, it was zipping across the top of the San Gabriel Mountains.

As crazy as it sounds, once it just got passed Cajon Pass, the oval-shaped object split into two. When this occurred, the second object became red and both the yellow/orange and red object looped around in a full complete circle.

Once the object meets up with one another during the course of the loop, the object became one again only making the yellow/orange oval shape visible and flew back westward towards Mt. Baldy. When it got past Mt. Baldy, the object seemed to have vanished, not to be seen by our eyes any longer.

We tried to capture what we were seeing via our cell phones, as we didn't have a camera on hand, but we were to far away for our cameras to capture the oval-shaped object.

This all occurred in under 3 and half minutes (31/2 minutes)

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Red Triangular Lights in the sky moving eastbound in Southern California night sky.

Stepped outside into the backyard. Noticed the degree of darkness (no moon). Happened to look up and saw triangular lights in the sky. Looked like wide red bars around the perimeter of the craft. Seemed relatively low (1,500 feet above ground level) in the sky moving progressively toward the east. It seemed silent. Was expecting that it might be a helicopter or aircraft, but no familiar sound accompanied the lights.

I then dashed inside the house, grabbed my IPad and went back outside to take photographs.

By the time I returned (15 seconds later), the lights were now higher in the sky, still eastbound and moving away much faster. I tried to zoom in the focus. The image stabilizer box on the IPad focused on the lights. I took two images, but as I said, by now the object was higher and moving away quickly.

When I reviewed the two photos, they did not appear to show much of any useful image.

My guess would be some military aircraft, but really don't know. I have a Commercial Pilot certificate and have been flying for 13 years. Have never seen anything like this before.

Bright Orange Light moving in many directions over 210 Fwy.

I am a law enforcement officer and was leaving for work today, heading East on the 210 Fwy toward San Bernardino. I noticed a bright orange light appear in the distance. I estimated it to be at least 10 miles away and about 20-30 degrees from the horizon. The light was stationary for a short time. I watched the light thinking it was an aircraft turning on his landing lights. Then at that moment it began to move in irregular directions at extremely fast speed. I new at that time it was not a conventional aircraft or any type of drone because of the height, distance, and speed. It was something I've never seen before. The orange light returned to its original position and dimmed out. I pulled my phone out to record the event if it happened again and unfortunately it never appeared again. I was very excited to see such an event as this. There were many cars on the freeway at the time and must have had numerous witnesses.

I saw a strange flashing of green and red of a stationary object in the northern sky, before Mt Baldy/San Antonio Mtns. Then it changed colors. I fetched my binoculars and the best I can say was that there were 7 lights that were changing colors- red, blue, purple, but mostly green with a white light in the center. The object moved around and eventually dipped out of sight. Lasted 45 minutes. I did not detect a body of the craft but it was the fast flashing lights and there were 7 major lights in a circle. Strange whatever it was. I have video too but it is indistinct. Only with binos could I make out the detail. And it was still for a long time but when it moved, it covered space rather quickly. Would be seen by others in area, northern sky, and not very high in the sky

Friday Nov. 6 around 6:30 pm my husband and myself were in a car in Rancho Cucomonga Ca.

As we approached an intersection, I saw this large object in the night sky. I should say what I saw was three fairly large lights in an elongated triangle shape (with small slow flashing red light below the bottom white light). I kept looking to see what it was ??? as hard as I looked I could not see any structure!!! When we crossed the intersection I rolled down my window (non-drivers side and same side of road it was on) going from west to east...as I looked over it had seemed to stop moving and I could hear a low humming sound(not loud tho) It was very big at least one story high, but I think even bigger. You could not see any structure content and you could not see through it.

Genesis, Evolution, and Aliens The Baha'i Faith, claiming to be God's most recent message to humanity, is not just another in a series. It represents the culmination of a six-thousand year cycle of Prophets, and the transition into a new universal cycle. While the religion is now in its infancy, taking a broad view of where it falls in history provides a humbling experience to any believer, while an even broader view of the universe stirs up an unparalleled sense of awe.

As traditional religion devolves into an irrational superstition, and a strictly materialistic ideology begins to dominate society, the Baha'i Faith teaches the harmony of science and religion. True religion and science must agree, because the truth is one.

Genesis "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Gen 1:1) A key to understanding the books of Moses is what Baha'is call progresive revelation: that religious truth is relative to the time of revelation. The people of the time of Moses were obsessed with spiritism and idol worship, with the spiritual and intellectual capacity of today's children. `Abdu'l-Baha said, "Moses established laws and ordinances; these gave life to the people of Israel, and led them to the highest possible degree of civilization at that period." (Some Answered Questions, p. 14) In this context the stories of Genesis - and other creation myths - are interpreted as spiritual allegories, in a way that outwardly satisfied people's curiosity of history, while inwardly describing spiritual truths that uplifted society. The common understanding at the time was of the world as an island continent on a flat disc with infinite water, surrounded by a dome with stars embedded in its surface. A modern understanding of how the world developed was not only impossible but unnecessary at the time. The account of Genesis had the advantage of conveying the essential spiritual truths about humanity's development with broad symbolism, and avoided the detail that was beyond the capacity to understand. `Abdu'l-Baha said, "Moses taught that the world was brought into existence in the six days of creation. This is an allegory, a symbolic form of the ancient truth that the world evolved gradually... We thus have a progressive process of creation, and not a one-time happening. Moses' days of creation represent time spans of millions of years." (Science and Religion, p. 90) As humanity has progressed with a new capacity to understand its environment, the Baha'i teachings reveal new truths about the world. Baha'u'llah teaches that the physical universe is without beginning or end, and confirms the scientists who claim that the earth developed over millions and billions of years. Yet similar to Moses, Baha'u'llah's teachings focus on the spiritual development of society and the control of one's lower nature.

On the nature of creation and existence, `Abdu'l-Baha says, "If we could imagine a time when no beings existed, this imagination would be the denial of the Divinity of God. Moreover, absolute non-existence cannot become existence. If the beings were absolutely non-existent, existence would not have come into being." Accordingly, the story of Adam and Eve contains "divine mysteries and universal meanings, and it is capable of marvelous explanations," but is simply a symbol, and cannot be reasonably imagined as a historical account.

Evolution On the origin of humans, Baha'u'llah similarly confirms biological development of humans over millions of years in different forms. He also taught that the human species was always distinct from the animal kingdom in potentiality.

Some of the most striking and direct comments on evolution come from `Abdu'l-Baha, where he says that man's existence on the earth has developed over a long time. He says, "Between man and the ape, however, there is one link missing, and to the present time scientists have not been able to discover it...

"The philosophers of the Orient in reply to those of the western world say: Let us suppose that the human anatomy was primordially different from its present form, that it was gradually transformed from one stage to another until it attained its present likeness, that at one time it was similar to a fish, later an invertebrate and finally human. This anatomical evolution or progression does not alter or affect the statement that the development of man was always human in type and biological in progression. For the human embryo when examined microscopically is at first a mere germ or worm. Gradually as it develops it shows certain divisions; rudiments of hands and feet appear--that is to say, an upper and a lower part are distinguishable. Afterward it undergoes certain distinct changes until it reaches its actual human form and is born into this world. But at all times, even when the embryo resembled a worm, it was human in potentiality and character, not animal. The for! ms assumed by the human embryo in its successive changes do not prove that it is animal in its essential character. Throughout this progression there has been a transference of type, a conservation of species or kind. Realizing this we may acknowledge the fact that at one time man was an inmate of the sea, at another period an invertebrate, then a vertebrate and finally a human being standing erect... Therefore, in the protoplasm, man is man. Conservation of species demands it.

"The lost link of Darwinian theory is itself a proof that man is not an animal. How is it possible to have all the links present and that important link absent? Its absence is an indication that man has never been an animal. It will never be found." (Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 358-359) This statement was delivered in a speech in 1912. These ideas brought harmony to the diverging forces of science and religion at the time.

Soul The rational soul, according to Baha'u'llah, gives humans an intelligence that makes discoveries and penetrates the reality of things. Animals and humans share the same physical powers, but an animal cannot evolve the intellectual powers of humans, who have the freewill to overcome the animalistic nature of the body.

One evidence of this power is contemplation and reflection, as described by `Abdu'l-Baha, "It is clear that when man is thinking, it is as though he were consulting with some other person. With whom is he consulting? It is evident that it is another reality or one aside from this body with whom he enters into consultation when he thinks, 'Shall I do this work or not?' 'What will be the result of my doing this?' ... And then that reality in man communicates its opinion to him concerning the point at issue. Therefore that reality in man is clearly and obviously other than his body, an ego with which man enters into consultation and whose opinion man seeks." (Foundations of World Unity, p. 109) Origins of Life Humans developed on earth over millions of years, alongside plants and animals. A question then arises: how did it all get here? After all, the story of Genesis came to satisfy the most fundamental controversy. Even with a childish understanding of the world around them, the nomadic followers of Moses could see that they came from their parents, who came from their grandparents, etc. The story of Adam explained the first seed of life, by a literal account six thousand years ago. This question is where the worlds of science and religion collide.

Most scientific theories about the origins of life propose a spontaneous creation of simple molecules in high levels of energy. Another theory proposes that the seeds of life came to earth on meteorites. In other words, the potential for life is either inherent in the planet, or the seeds of life are so prevalent that they permeate the universe, the latter theory appropriately called panspermia. Either way, the implications are incredibly profound. This situation still lacks an impulse to the universe, which, according to Baha'u'llah, is a mystery that can never be fully comprehended. `Abdu'l-Baha elaborates on the idea of creation, "No Divinity can be conceived as separate from creation, for otherwise it would be like imagining an empire without a people... So, likewise, if we say there was a time when God had no creation or created beings, a time when there were no recipients of His bounties and that His names and attributes had not been manifested, this would be equivalent to a complete denial of Divinity, for it would mean that Divinity is accidental. To explain it still more clearly, if we think that fifty thousand years ago or one hundred thousand years ago there was no creation, that there were then no worlds, no human beings, no animals, this thought of ours would mean that previous to that period there was no Divinity... It is, therefore, evident that inasmuch as the reality of Divinity is without a beginning, creation is also without a beginning. This is as clear as the sun. When we contemplate this vast machinery of omnipresent power, perceive this illimitable space and its innumerable w! orlds, it will become evident to us that the lifetime of this infinite creation is more than six thousand years." (Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 470) As well as a timeless creation, the universe is also described as having no end.

Aliens The issue of extraterrestrial life is inextricably bound up with the subject of creation and evolution. Baha'u'llah made a dramatic statement about life in the universe, "The learned men, that have fixed at several thousand years the life of this earth, have failed, throughout the long period of their observation, to consider either the number or the age of the other planets. Consider, moreover, the manifold divergencies that have resulted from the theories propounded by these men. Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute." (Gleanings, p. 163) It was over a century after Baha'u'llah's writing this that science confirmed the nebular hypothesis, which states that the formation of planets is a natural part of star formation. As previously described, if life on earth developed inherently or externally, it is a logical conclusion that the same potential for life exists everywhere in the universe. Clearly, though, life as we understand it could not survive to the same extent on Jupiter, with clouds of ammonia. `Abdu'l-Baha taught that life develops on other planets according to the environment, "The earth has its inhabitants, the water and the air contain many living beings and all the elements have their nature spirits, then how is it possible to conceive that these stupendous stellar bodies are not inhabited? Verily, they are peopled, but let it be known that the dwllers accord with the elements of their respective spheres. These living beings do not have states of consciousness like unto those who live on the surface of this globe: the power of adaptation and environment moulds their bodies and states of consciousness, just as our bodies and minds are suited to our planet. For example, we have birds that live in the air, those that live on the earth and those that live in the sea... The components of the sun differ from those of this earth, for there are certain light and life-giving elements radiating from the sun. Exactly the same elements may exist in two bodies, but in varying quantities. For instance, there is fire and air in water, but the allotted me! asure is small in proportion. They have discovered that there is a great quantity of radium in the sun; the same element is found on the earth, but in a much smaller degree. Beings who inhabit those distant luminous bodies are attuned to the elements that have gone into their composition of their respective spheres." (Divine Philosophy, pp. 114-115) The nature of extraterrestrial life remains elusive, but it's clear that there are creatures in the universe that have similar intellectual powers and spiritual perception that humans have on earth. Given the infinite time span of the universe, it's obvious that other planets have gone through a similar process of evolution with Manifestations of God guiding them through various stages of unity until a universal cycle culminates in a planet-wide unity, which is the transition to a new era, a new universal spiritual cycle of the planet. Other planets have progressed past that cycle into further cycles that are beyond the dimmest comprehension of humans at this time.

The Adamic cycle began about six thousand years ago, and its supreme Manifestation is Baha'u'llah. The Baha'i cycle will span half a million years, and Manifestations of God will appear about every thousand years during that time.

Mysterious star-like lights in the sky moving eastbound at a very high altitude.

My husband, father in law, and I were outside and looked up in the sky and the "big dipper" looked flattened and very bright, then we realized it was moving... it wasn't the constellation, but it was several objects that looked like stars due to the altitude. They continued to get higher and further east. It appeared there were over 20 objects. Moving rapidly, changing position as they propelled across the sky.

A large object, engulfed in flames, chillingly drifts along Rancho Cucamonga foothills.

I stepped out to my car to grab some items and my attention was instantly drawn to the northern foothills, a solid mass engulfed in flames was drifting in a slow upward ascend. It seemed huge, like the size of a mini van.

Judging by the foothills in the background, it had to have been a couple thousand feet climbing to the upper atmosphere, where it gently faded into nothing. We noticed it re- ignited about a mile east, for a minute or so, then it disappeared when commercial aircraft was near its proximity.

I still have the chills going through my body from seeing that..

A green light like nothing I have seen before.

It was a green bright streak that flew no more than 40 feet above some houses. I looked around and saw planes to try to match them together but no plane I've ever seen has flown this low. I've seen meteor showers and comets but nothing compared to this. It was so low to these houses.

The green light was maybe 100 yards away from me and disappeared as quickly as it came. I've never been a believer in ufo's and all that, but I cannot explain what I saw. Like I said I have seen meteors before but nothing like this.

4 lights appearing in and out of Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I was coming down from a hike off the Etiwanda Preserve Trail in Rancho Cucamonga. My boyfriend first noticed the lights in the sky and it was odd that they weren't moving. They didn't have the same lights that you would see on a helicopter and plane.

We saw planes coming in from a different direction as there is a airport near by. However, unlike the airplanes, there was no movement, no change in size, and they would appear and disappear at the exact same location they had been originally.

The more we watched I noticed another light off in the distance doing the same thing. The lights also didn't twinkle the same way as the lights in the city below did, they definitely had. They seemed to have a more unstable light and more of pulsing light from them. I would see them appear and disappear and not change location.

As they disappeared the light became more faint and pulsed more.

As we got in our car and went closer to the bottom of the mountain we noticed that! we were too low to see them (we originally knew they were low because we saw helicopters fly under them).

Here are a couple videos I recorded:

Aluminate Object in sky Rancho Cucamonga.

There was one object that was illuminated. It hovered and then disappeared. It looked like a helicopter at first because of the hovering. Then it came closer to us and was not a helicopter. It disappeared after that into the sky.

Rectangle shaped UFO with red, green and white lights in Rancho Cucamonga

I was outside watering my plants by the pool at 10:45pm. The pool lights were on. I thought what I first saw were airplane lights, however the object kept getting closer. It looked rectangle in shape with red, green, and white lights. I don't remember seeing any blinking lights. It looked approximately 3-4 feet in length and 3 feet wide. It was doing loops in the sky; sort of falling for a bit and looping back upward. I thought it was maybe a remote controlled device but there were no sounds of a motor. It was completely quiet. It looked like it was coming towards me (or the house or the pool lights!) so I dropped the hose and ran inside to get my son. When he came out, it was gone.

January 14, 2013 at 7:00 a.m. UFO sphere with fire in Rancho Cucamonga, CA near Alta Loma High School

A UFO sighting in Rancho Cucamonga, CA It had been approximately 7:00 a.m. on January 14, 2013 when I was at an intersection on Baseline Road going toward Alta Loma High School, and Vineyard Ave. was the cross street. It was an extremely cold day.

As I was looking forward in my car with my children, we see a very huge and large object that was very bright, white looking object that was very high up in the air and was about a ½ block away from the school parking lot near the park area intersection. It looked like a meteor moving across the sky, in a slight curve motion going over the high school. It dragged a thick, wide, large flames cascading off the round sphere, still bright, with a moving motion tail of flames. It was clearly visible to all, and very large and very swift. There had been no explosion as a meteor would or any type of fire to any part of the earth and it was assumed it did not hit the ground.

Still idle on baseline road, before you know it, you sense something approaching for about a ½ second or less then appears very large and bright like a flamed sun, white in color, but did not blind you. I thought there was a possibly we would die if this UFO would come closer to us or land near the intersection causing possibly a nuclear reaction, since I have never experienced anything like this in our lives so extremely close.

As we stared, it seemed we saw enough to know this was bizarre and unbelievable. As it came toward the center of the intersection, it was huge and you could not see behind this entity or the cars on the other side. Most people were clueless because this thing is swift. You have to have seen it when it appears at that time till it departs or else you only see a small flash instead. Well that UFO went toward the left direction so swift, and toward the street Vineyard up and up swiftly over the houses and it was gone, and did not even hit a car or a home or the street; as I expected some type of landing or explosion or impact of some sort. This UFO is hard to explain the movements as it seemed like to appear like magic and disappear swiftly.

As I began to proceed toward the high school very slowly staring at the sky for another appearance; because I was afraid it would hit the school or start part of the school on fire.

I thought by now calls would be sent to 911 or NASA by now; possibly earlier sightings.

As I drive and enter inside the front of the school, near their steps, we all see the sighting toward the lot high above the teacher’s parking lot near the store market Stater Brothers, which is opposite of which I came. Several students on the steps saw the great ball of light, such a beautiful sighting.

I alert the school, they think it has to do with the winds and the power lines falling which was reported by school security guards; they are getting several calls at the main office & other phones. I still am worried that this UFO will eventually decide to land if it wants to, and when it does, I know something will catch on fire and I was worried it might be the school.

I came to the conclusion since we saw the sphere come down baseline, it was on the left side of the road and there were the power lines that the school was talking about. It must have hit the power lines and caused something. The school had the fire truck and officers eventually block that area. The description one security guard gave was that there was a Flash on the power lines and was reported.

It became very windy, extreme cold weather and a bright sun near the school.

I am driving along Euclid Ave going toward Upland city and I had my window of my car rolled up and I could feel the heat of the sun. When I began looking at the sun, I noticed it was so extremely bright, that caused my eyes to see dark circles as I randomly stared at it. There was unusual large stream of rays coming off the sides of the sun in all it’s circumference which was also shinning white, and extremely bright.

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Slow moving Chevron shaped flying craft, glowing with a pattern of blinking and changing lights

I was on the phone talking in my backyard looking at the northwestern sky. This object flew slowly in a southwestern direction and crossed the big dipper from my vantage point. It continued on a path like an airplane would and had no erratic movements. However, I heard no noise of heli-engines or airplane sounds. It could not have been too high up, probably the average altitude of a plane landing in a few minutes. I am not familiar with altitudes sorry. Anyways, I first thought this was an owl flying and some lights were shining up into its wings as its shape was a chevron or V shape. The shape seemed to disappear and it looked like it was the same owl turning and flying and reappearing in the light. I was debating whether to take a picture or video the object as I was on the phone. As I kept watching this "thing" I realized that it was not an owl and it was some flying craft. It had a pattern of light that was changing and blinking and this i! s what gave the appearance of an owl flying into and out of light. The light was a solid glowing orange similar to a 60w light bulb color. The whole craft was lit from end to end. Then the light would blink off and on 2-3 times and return to the full glow. Then when it was fully lit a dark line would move from the left to right "wing". Then the light would return to the blinking and then the left right. It continued this same pattern until it flew out of my sight. It was not a normal aircraft and I am not a paranormal or ufo type person. I dont drink or use drugs either. The sky is very clear and I saw plenty of other aircraft in the sky during this same time period. All of them had the traditional strobes, red green blue etc.. It was not one of these. It was not a searchlight or anything similar to a police helicoptor. That is about all I know, I went online to look and see if anyone else saw this tonight and found this site, so i wanted to report it. I ho! pe someone else saw what I saw and can explain it. Thanks

I saw 3 lights in the shape of a triangle. They were located just west of me in the sky toward Los Angeles. The lights all appeared to be red at first then they changed to bright orange. The top light at the top of the triangle began to pull into the sky but in the same location. The top light then disappeared and the bottom two point pulled into the top light as if they were sucked into the top of triangle. The bottom left light disappeared first and then the bottom right just after that.

Bright light above the mountians north of Rancho Cucamonga

There was a very bright light hovering above part of a mountain north of Rancho Cucamonga. It was an orange/yellow light that would change to red and green. I first saw it when I was some 10 miles away and I drove right past it. It was to high off the mountain to be a communication tower, there is none there. It was to slow to be an airplane, and it was far and to windy in the Cajon Pass to be a helicopter. I drove on three sides of the mountain and the light never dimmed, nor did it look like it struggled to move in the wind like an aircraft would in such high wind. I watched it move slowly a few miles when I lost sight of it behind another mountain.

Fourth sighting of bright star like light moving in clear morning skies of Rancho Cucamonga, ca

This morning at around 10:19am I saw a bright star like light moving toward the south up high in the sky. It moved really slowly and it appeared to be changing color blue and white. This is my fourth sighting of this thing. It’s up high in the sky, higher then the airplanes. It looks just like a star or small point of light.

Third sighting of a bright star like light changing colors blue and white moving across the morning sky in Rancho cucamonga

On January 8, 2009 at 9:30 am I saw a bright star like light up in the sky. This is my third sighting of this strange light in the skies above our park.

It traveled from East to West very slowly with no sound. I watched and took pictures of it for 30 minutes as it passed over my head and out of view into the distance.

My Dad was with me this time and brought his binoculars. Looking through the binoculars I could see some type of light around something moving. It appeared to change colors from blue to white.

In the photos you can only see a small point of light. I tried to zoom in on the photos to see if I could see more details, no luck.

One of the pictures surprised me, it shows at least 7 lights or orb’s. This picture was taken when the light was above my head and I was under a tree. I remembered that moment because when I looked at the light with my eyes it appeared to change color and shape or something.

It was so high up and you really couldn’t see a lot of details, but something was different. Then to see the picture and see 7 lights or orb’s, that’s really scary.




NUFORC Note:

The witness has forwarded four photographs, but none of them appears to us to illustrate the appearance of the object, as described above. It looks somewhat like a bird, possibly a parrot, or maybe a hummingbird. We do not know what the person witnessed. PD

Second sighting of a bright light moving from left to right high up in the clear blue sky early morning in Rancho Cucamonga, ca

At around 10:15 am on January 7, 2009 I saw a very bright light that looked like a star up very high in the sky. This is my second siting of this thing and I was ready with my camera. It appeared high up in sky and moved very slow to the right and then to the left. Then it moved until it was right straight above me, then it disappeared, and reappeared for about 10 minutes while I just kept on snapping shots with my camera.

Two star like bright lights moving in oppostie directions and one changing directions in the clear morning skies of Rancho Cucamonga

At around 10:15 am on Tuesday Jan 6th 2009, my two year old daughter said look Mom it’s an airplane and I looked up and saw the air plan. Then I noticed a very bright light that looked like a star way above the air plan. As I thought in my head, this cant be a star, it started to move slowly to the east. Then I saw another light or star blink on in the same path as the first one but it was moving towards the west. I was blown away at what I was witnessing, There were no wings or any airplane or helicopter features and no sound coming from the lights. The only way I can describe them is they looked like stars or very bright points of light. The one moving to the west suddenly disappeared. The one moving to the east was still moving slowly and then just stopped. It stayed still for a few minutes and then started to move to the west. I kept my eye on it as it kept going to the west until I could no longer see it past the horizon.

Rancho Cucamonga Daytime Diamond Shaped Object

An hour before sunset on Saturday. My wife was leaving our apartment to run an errand for her mother. We live in a second floor apartment. I ventured outside onto the porch area(which faces east) to bid her farewell. Thats when I noticed a helicopter flying low in the sky. Then I noticed that helicopter was following something moving directly east. This something was a translucent diamond shaped object and its color matched the haze of the sky. It had no lights and wasn't outpacing the helicopter by much. If it was silent I wouldn't have noticed because of the helicopter's sound. It was in my field of view for about 15 seconds. I exclaimed, "What the heck is that." Simultaneously, my wife couldn't get our car started and asked me to look into it. I waited a while because I was still in awe of what I had seen and was describing it to her and my daughter. Then ten minutes later I started the car with no problem. She stated that she saw the same object at the same time I did.

Light travelling, then glowing brightly and disappearing. Saw 2 within 20 minutes.

Phenomena or UFO? I saw three different lights within a span of about 20 minutes.

The first one was traveling west to east very high in the sky. There were no blinking lights and it was well above the normal airline flight altitude so I assumed it was a satellite. Then-it glowed very brightly and disappeared. This was at approximately 9:20 pm.

About 10 minutes later I observed another very high altitude light traveling north to south. It looked like it was the same brightness, speed and height as the first light.

It ended up just disappearing. As I sat amazed not believing that I saw a second light, another light appeared same size, altitude and appearance traveling from west to east. It also suddenly lit up very brightly then disappeared from sight.

My home is in the Rancho Cucamonga area only about 8 miles northeast of Ontario International airport and these lights were nowhere near the normal flight pattern which was what first caught my attention. The moon was over half full and blocked by a tree that was to the right of me so there was no moonlight interfering with what I saw.

Bright orange oval light seen dropping smaller lite objects and then disappeared.

My brother and I noticed a large, bright, orange, glowing light in the sky at about 3 am towards Mt. Baldy. It looked like pieces from the light were falling off or it might have been smaller, separate lit up objects that were dropping from it. The falling objects disappeared quickly. The light at first appeared to be moving at a steady pace towards the North and upward but then suddenly started going South and coming down pretty low. Then suddenly it disappeared. I have witnessed the same orange light on at least 5 other occasions in the past 3 months. The shape has always been the same but it has been much higher and moved in a diagonal zigzag much quicker then an air plane would be moving. One time it was dropping something from it but it didn’t look as if the objects being dropped were lit up because I only saw the light from the main glowing light reflecting off what was being dropped. I have no idea what this light could have been and other then these occasions I have never seen anything like it in the sky. If there is some explanation for it please let me know. Thank you

Glowing orange orb in the sky...

I went outside and looked up into the sky to see what my friend was making such a big fuss over. That is when I saw the bright orange thing in the sky. It was closer than I had ever seen it before. It stayed in the same spot for probably about 3-4, doing absolutely nothing. Then it began to flicker and it seemed to be swinging something around itself that had 3 smaller bright orange things attached to it. That lasted about a minute and then it began to quickly move south. All of a sudden it stopped moving again and started to flicker once more. This time it began dropping what looked like little orange lights for about 5 seconds and then grew dim. It flickered again and got brighter and then began dropping little orange lights once more, but this time it began falling rapidly too. After about 10-15 seconds later it flickered and disappeared.

At 2150 hrs, I walked outside of my house and looked to the south towards Ontario International Airport and witnessed a very bright orange light moving slowly to the North East. This caught my eye because it looked exactly like the light I witnessed and reported last month in the same area but much slower.

I called to my wife to come outside so she could witness it. It was moving very slow with several large passenger jets passing over it. I asked my wife to retrieve my binoculars from the house, as she was inside it stopped and hovered without moving. As looked through the binoculars, I witnessed a slight aura around the object, neither blinking strobes nor lights. It was a very bright orange, unknown structure, and had no apparent noise coming from it. We stood and observed it for about 3-4 minutes. The orange light blinked off and on several times and then it disappeared from its stationary position.

My wife was freaked out by the whole experience. I know many people witnessed this for the weather was very clear and the light was very bright. I am curious if Ontario International Airport was aware of this?

About 23:45 hrs, my wife and I were sitting on the couch and overheard a commotion in our backyard. I turned off my TV to hear a group of people raising their voice. I walked to our backyard to find out what was going on and overheard a party adjacent to our house. I then heard several male adults yelling in a very excited voices,”What is that”? One male voice yelling, “I think it’s a hot air balloon”? And then another saying, “No way, it’s going to fast.” I walked out from under my patio cover and looked up towards Mt. Baldy area. The sky was overcast with low clouds. When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of a bright light through the cloud cover traveling from West to East. Just as I focused on it the light went out and then 2 seconds later it lit up again. It looked to me like a bright orange ball of light. It was traveling at a high speed parallel to the 210 FWY. I know this was not a Jet airliner because of the speed, the close proximity to the mountains, and the absence of noise coming from it.

Light (s) routinely spotted from East to West during the past one an half years

Ball of light, ususally one and sometimes two. These have been seen for the past year and a half. The ball appears high in the Eastern sky, estimated altitude of 100K ft. plus, at approximately 75 degrees and proceeds at a high rate of speed diagonally towards the southwest stops at my 110 degrees vertically and at approximately 25 degrees from my horizontal. Somwhere over Los Angeles. It then makes a straight beeline towards the north, stops at approximately over La Canada or 10-15 degrees north of my horizontal and then heads east to the original point. It will often stop and repeat the pattern or will execute a right turn and head straight south and out of sight. Other times when it turns to the North it keeps on going until out of sight. When there are two lights, they fly in irregular patterns and sometimes seem to go around in circles like they are chasing each other. Then, one will stop and the other goes off to the South West. Very seldom, a pulse trail appears when the light starts to move from a stopped position and it will also change to a dull orange or red color when it comes to a stop. The time of tracking is normally seconds ie. 5-10. Sometimes, they move in straight lines, but most of the time, they travel in a slight waving pattern at a high rate of speed. I have been seeing this phenonomimum with both the naked eye (my vision is pretty close to 20/20) and with 7x35 W/A binoculars. Last month, my son (age 25 and his friend (same age) also seen it with me at approx. 11:30 PM. I have been spotting this light(s) on a routine basis, normally between 9-9:45 pm and again at between 11:00 and 11:45 pm.

Prior to this light(s) appearing in the night sky, nothing other than a shooting star had appeared until August of 2004. At that time, I seen a dull red ball of light go lazily accross the sky from the East to the West at 8:45 pm and follow the same pie/wedge travel pattern. It traveled at approximately 110 degrees to my vertical of 90. The total time was maybe 3-4 minutes. Thereafter, the light(s) began appearing. I am no hokster. I purposly kept this to myself and close confidents because of potential ridicule. Hope you can explain what is going on. I will give you my business address for your records.

Four shiny disc shaped objects flying in formation above the moutains and then disappeared.

I was looking North from my patio toward the San Gabriel mountains. 4 disc shaped objects were seen traveling approximately West to East above the mountains. They were shiny and reflective, not unlike polished Aluminum. A small propeller aircraft just South of the mountains started to aproach from the East. The 4 objects dissapeared immediately as the aircraft came into view. I did not have time to photograph the incident.

Unusual object dropped from airplane, lit up half of the sky.

We were in the mountains and I noticed out of the corner of my eye an airplane flying overhead east of us. It flew just past the mountain next to us and dropped something that was lit up as it fell to the ground. As soon as it hit the ground it seemed to explode, causing an enormous flash on the other side of the mountain. I know its not really a "UFO sighting" but it was a damn unusual sighting, so I figured I'd put it up here.

The object floated on the sky making no noise whatsoever

I was on a staircase on a three story apartment divide smoking with a friend of mine. The apartent complex has a clear view of some of the foothills in california's inland empire, real close to them also. i noticed something come from over the mountains to the west of the peak. it was raising in altitude. it had an oval shape, i kept looking at it to see if it would turn and i would be able to tell if it be a plane or helicopter. no it wouldnt it had a dull silver color to it. it went pretty high up and proceeded to move east over the mountains, near the end of the mountains it started going , away from them to the east of us. as if it was making a giant circle around the valley. we kept an eye on it so one of us could go find something to zoom in on it, couldnt . my friend lost visual with it but i still had it for a while. then i lost it, it made no noise whatsoever which is why i started being suspicious of it.

Occurred: 2003-06-12 21:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2003-09-19 23:44 Pacific
Duration: 3 Min.
No of observers: 2

Location: Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USA

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

We observed a bright orange object moving across the sky slowly form horizon to horizon.

In mid June 2003, my co worker and I were preparing to leave his house to go to work when he noticed a bright orange object moving through the sky at a slow pace. The object appeared to be no more than several hundred feet in the air. The reason we believe this to be the case is due to heavy clown cover on this particular evening and the object was below the clouds. While observing the object we kept commenting on the way the object was rectangular in shape and was a bright orange glow almost the color of a street lamp. However, the edges of the object appeared to be emitting what looked like flames also, we noticed the object did not dim nor brighten as it moved across the sky. The object also appeared to be rotating in a slight circular motion as it passed overhead. (Perhaps 15 deg) Usually when you see an airplane approaching from a distance the headlights of the airplane or bright from a distance and then dim and fade away until you only see the marker lights after it eventually passes. In this case the object stayed at the same intensity from the moment we noticed it, until it moved beyond the horizon to the east.

Neither my self nor my coworker has seen anything similar to this in the past.

fireball /2 nights in a row / no thanks!

This is the 2nd night that we saw the orange/glowing light . we saw it the night before at a earlier time. I reported it on this site the first time. the next time we saw it it came from the north, moving upward from the mountians then over twards the east & it stayed there for the longest in one spot,until the clouds covered it.The night before this ,it was about 10:30pm & that only lasted about 3mins.That one was north/by the mountains a little twards the west. it moved kinda jerky & seemed to be letting off sparks & then it had a big spark and began to drop, kinda like a firework drops when its done exploding.but this object faded & went back up a little,then sparked some more,dropped again & fadded out with dim sparks..??I was not comfortable with this whole siting! I can't find any reasonable explanation for it & do not want to tell anybody that I personally know about it.

We would like to know what this may have been: We saw a bright light (brighter than the planet Mars) and it was moving Northeast. We thought it looked like the object was falling apart. It had sparks coming from it and it was moving as if it was spinning. (The flight pattern was not straight, it was weaving.) Anyway, as we were watching this occur the bright light fluttered to nothing very quickly.

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Saw an anomoly at 11:38hundred hrs. Its shape was disk-like and hung around approximately 20 minutes. My friend had been looking at it approximately 2 minutes when he finaly got my attention. It seemed stationary, then moved southeast very slowly.(about the speed of an hour-hand on a analog clock.

It was about 1138hrs. when my friend from the warehouse next to mine brougt my attention to something in the sky. His first words to me were ,"What the hell is that!" I looked up and saw a disk-like abject in the shy directly above Mount Baldy here in CA. It seemed to be at a very high altitude and was turning so that the sun reflected off of it. At that point, we both saw a small black dot with a dual jet-stream following what appeard to be a small black jet-fighter. The object was moving at a speed of no more than an hour hand on a analog clock. It was then when we called Edwards Air Force Base. They got irritated when at our call and asked why we called them. They also stated it was a, "Metalic weather baloon", and told us to call the FAA. I did so and the official gave me this address. It might be important to add, that my friend saw it at 1500hrs. but this time, while trying to get my attention, said it just vanished: also, I saw another fighter, or what seemed to be. That is about all I can think of.
