Mini blimp flying upward with a long train of laser fire

It was dark against the early dawn sky. What I saw was the laser like fire behind it. It wasn’t in flames but more like interrupted lasers going out behind the object. The colors were like flames orange, bronze-like and red. These colors are what directly got my attention. Never saw fire flying through the sky. It was moving smoothly and about the speed of a Cessna plane. It was moving from the western sky moving south as if we would cross paths if it was on land. It was climbing altitude. Land miles, I would say it was 2-3 miles away. Driving a sub 4-door, I didn’t have to sit up in my windshield and look up. In my relaxed position driving, it was in my right upper view of the windshield and 4 inches below my sun visor ( not being used at the time). After the initial sight of it and probably 10 seconds or so into it, in the last 5 seconds of observing the object it seemed to suck up the “laser fire” and then stop midair, make a 180 degree turn to the right. The rear end had red/orange lights and in an instant, vanished from my sight. I saw it disappear. I saw the turn. I saw something I’ve never experienced before. My mom was my passenger but only saw about 5 seconds ( middle part ) of the object moving upwards in the sky.

I saw two sphere like objects rotating through the sky over my neighborhood

I was on my way home from the store and turned into my neighborhood and spotted something strange in the sky. It looked like two spherical objects rotating through the sky heading west towards norco. The ufo was big the size of a small plane atleast or possibly bigger. There was also a plane going the Opposite direction of the ufo. I asked a man if he saw that in the sky and pointed at the ufo. He did not notice and only saw only the plane. Then asked me for a cigarette. Instead of wasting time. I drove up and made a right on the next street and started recording and captured some footage of the ufo. The sky was blue that day with zero clouds in the sky. The ufo appeared silver or grey in color.

Explanation: Blimp - Possible


The sighting was very clear and the craft was moving Northward very slowly. It appeared to be over the far side of the lake NNW from me

As I drove N on Lake Mathews Drive approaching Cajaco Road I noticed the craft in the distance thinking it was a large multi engine WW2 plane. But then I realized it was flying too slow. I was now at the junction of Lake Mathews Drive and Cajalco Road. Before making a left turn West I stopped to get a video with my phone. As I was not able to identify what I was looking at I quickly drove West on Cajaco Road which would take me closer, hoping to get a better picture. Because of the hills along the lake the view was obscured and I could not see the craft but after a few minutes I came to a point where could see the craft. It was moving away from me so I did not feel I was any closer, but It was now close to the west end of the dam and I took a picture. So I have a still shot and a short Video. It appeared to be about 1/3 - 1/2 mile away, approximately 500ft - 1000ft above the lake, maybe 75 - 100ft in length. There was no noise whatsoever, no exhaust, and was maintaining perfectly level flight during the time that I saw it. I have been around aviation all my life but I have been unable to identify this sighting. I figured it must have been some kind of drone but it there was no noise and with the irregular shape and thickness i am not so sure. I would like to know what I was looking at!

Seen at the same hour last 2 nights

Last night there was a line slightly curved in the sky with what appeared to be a haze only in the line. One broke ranks and zoomed to the right in the haze then the whole thing vanished. The rest of the sky was clear and without aircraft until they disappeared. Then suddenly there were at least 6 aircraft.

Tonight the sky was clear, a line of about 20 craft evenly spaced in a straight line. I tried to get a picture of it and my phone went blank. It’s never happened before. When my phone came on they had remained in formation and moved to the far right then vanished. This took all of a couple minutes. Immediately after there were aircraft in the sky. I am a flight nurse and have never seen anything remotely like this before.

Location details: Van Buren & Mockinbird approx 80-85 degress from horizon - above SSE 140-150 degrees heading

Shape: Light


very bright pulsating light, hovering then slowly moving SSE

First spotted near intersection of Van Buren & Mockinbird approx 80-85 degress from horizon - above SSE 140-150 degrees heading. It hovered for nearly a minute while pulsating irregularly. The pure white light would pulsate very bright (Venus bright) to dim. It would be max brightness for 2-3 seconds then slowly fade to dim for a few seconds. After a few pulsating cycles, it would go dim and stay dim for 10 seconds or more. The whole cycle seemed to vary in timing, but the dim state period always returned to the pulsating cycle. After 2-3 minutes, two neighbors I'm unfamiliar with drove up to me and stopped. She said "Oh you see it too?" I replied "Yes I thought I was imagining things." She told me they had seen it before, a couple months ago. It appeared to be high altitude 30,000ft or more. The strangest thing was the way it moved. It went from hovering to slowly moving toward SSE. It traveled 5-10 degees and then hovered for several seconds. Then it began moving back toward it's original position hovered a while and started moving SW. When it would go from hovering to moving, it seemed as if the light would go bright and stay bright before a somewhat rapid acceleration to it's maximum speed, never appearing faster than 1/3 to 1/4 the transit speed of the ISS. The speed never appeared to be fast, just rapid acceleration. I watched it off and on for at least an hour, the whole time it followed the irregular pulse/dim and hover/move behaviors. The area was quiet, so if the object was low enough to be a rotary aircraft I'm fairly sure I would have heard it. The object continued to move SW just not in a straight line. I stopped watching it at approx 30 degrees above SW 235. I don't know of any tech we have that can hover at that altitude other than a maneuverable High Altitude Balloon. It moved like I would expect a maneuverable HAB to move, but the bright pulsations don't make sense for an HAB unless it's low enough to be a danger to other aircraft. I have been flying R/C planes for 43 years and quad-copters for 8. I've been staring at the sky my entire life watching satellites, meteor showers, eclipses, comets, planets, airplanes and helicopters. Over the years I have seen a few unusual things that I could not identify, but this one was strange enough that I thought I should report it. I don't own a smart-phone (and I pray I never have to) so sorry no video.

While scanning the area below the star Alberio in my telescope, I noticed a flash of light and then a smoke ring appeared and lasted a few seconds and faded out. The ring looked similar to the Ring Nebula, but with brighter blues. I was using a 12in Dob. With a 32mm wide-angle eyepiece. I have been observing the skies for over 60 years, and never saw anything like this. It was beautiful but strange

Noticed a stationary object above the tree line

Me and my boyfriend were sitting on a park bench on a clear and sunny day. I noticed across the bay a stationary object above the tree line. I pointed it out to him and we figured it was a plane because it was in a common flight path. We watched it for about a minute and it seemed to not move at all then moved in almost a straight line down towards the tree line. It stopped right above the tree line for another few seconds and then move down again out of view. The whole encounter seemed to have lasted 1-2 minutes.

3 points of light in a massive triangle moving together

While sitting in my backyard talking on the phone in the evening staring at the sky and mentioning a random satellite I would see from time to time, I then saw another “ satellite” moving but quickly noticed there were 2 other “satellites” moving with it and all 3 made up a massive triangle shape.

I know the gov and nasa has satellites that are designed to fly “linked” or “tethered” by nothing more than a laser to maintain a specific distance between them (usually a few kilometers) for calculating objects while they scan the surface of earth (or whatever they orbit) however I’ve never heard of 3 satellites using the same method flying in a delta v or a triangle…. The tips of this triangle were not even close to each other but rather so far apart the distance would probably be the size of Massachusetts given how large it was in the sky…. I saw it for about 30 seconds before the 3 points of light just disappeared …. And for hrs I was thinking it was 3 “individual objects” flying synchronized but then it dawned on me what if it was one massive triangle object and these were the 3 points and then I was like holy shit that could be a single massive ship…. Because that correlates with objects that have been described on the west cost since the early 90’s. The points of the triangle were so large… imagine looking up at the night sky and holding a basketball in your outstretched arms and the points were outside that basketball (approximately) … That projected angle is so massive in miles I can’t imagine the size of it based on the altitude it was at.

We watched it turn slightly and begin to follow us. It followed us for about 2 miles. We tried to watch it but as we rounded a curve in the Rd. It disappeared? We could not tell the exact shape, as it was very dark outside.

Disappeared off porch awoken in middle of being gone and woke up naked in someone's back yard

I disappeared off my boyfriend's porch next thing I remember I wake up being wheeled down a hallway type thing made of it looked metal it was rounded it was bright like if you were going into surgery at a hospital I Iook around just using my eyes there were 2 aliens walking/pushing me down this hallway the one to my left looked down at me seen I had woken and I seen/heard him get the attention of the one on my right side. I say seen/heard because no one spoke it was telepathic and I heard it well it didn't have a voice or accent it was just known just as I was. But when he looked down and seen that I was asleep he took his finger and touched my upper arm and I went back to sleep. When I come to I was like crying on my knees reaching towards the sky and when I noticed This I went to the backdoor of the house and tried to get in. Still I didn't know where I was or who I was. The women had called the police when the officer got there he asked me my name I told him I didn't know because I didn't know it at that moment. The women who lived there gave me a sweatshirt because I was naked then the officer took me to the mental hospital where they made me leave because I wasn't suicidal. Sometime that night I don't know how to explain it but I was shown I assume my past/present/future lives I don't know for sure what they were I just know they were me even though I look different in them all. Also the best way for me to explain this was it was like a movie reel going by very quickly I was shown the beginning to the end it was forever in a moment.

Crescent moving NW over Riverside CA

I am the only witness I know of. I am an astrophysicist and can usually explain these things. I was not in any way inebriated when I saw this.

At approximately 6pm I was taking my trash out and looked up to admire the stars. I noticed something moving across the sky. It was crescent shaped, dim, and about 5" across. It moved across about 45 degrees of sky in 10 to 20 seconds in a northwest direction. It did not change shape or brightness.

I tried to surmise whether it was something low and hovering (a drone or maybe a group of birds moving pretty quick) or higher and moving very quickly. I thought perhaps I wasn't seeing it clearly at first but after a few seconds I could see a clear cresent shape. The lighting on it did not change in a way I would expect if it was low. I decided it was probably a bow shock catching the sun (now set)'s light like a noctilucent cloud. However I am unfamiliar with what produces such long lived and steadily moving bowshock. I did not see that there were any vandenburg launches when I looked after.

One other odd note: as I was watching it a meteor passed through it (diagonally vaguely ENE and at a very different soured of course so I assumed it was unrelated).

I'm very interested in optical phenomena and as I said am an astronomer so I usually explain these things easily. This time while I suppose a jet or something might produce such a bow shock I am a little baffled so I thought I should report it.

Fast moving orb craft over Southern California 10/07/2020.

While in my backyard on the night of 10/07/2020 at approx. 21:30, while looking to the sky for meteors from The Orionids event, I witnessed an abnormal craft pass overhead.

The sky was dark overhead with normal city light pollution toward the horizon.

I had identified Saturn and Jupiter at approximately 192 degrees S of my position, then Mars at approximately 81 degrees E.

I took out my phone and opened my “Star Walk 2” application to help identify any constellations I might be able to see.

As I looked away from my phone and into the night sky while facing approximately 40 degrees NE, a fast moving, dull gray in color, orb appeared from approximately 109 degrees E and traveled toward 316 degrees NW. Estimating by relation to the commercial aircraft in the area at that time, the object appeared to be at approximately 20-25,000 feet in altitude. The orb shaped object appeared to be approximately one quarter the size of a commercial airliner (50 feet +/-) in diameter.

The object had no flashing lights (of any color) and seemed to “glow” rather than “shine”. It traveled nearly the length of my visible sky in a straight line in approximately 4 seconds. At that 4th second, it made a 90 degree right angle maneuver traveled a split second, then made another 90 degree angle maneuver to the left (which put it back traveling in it’s original direction), before disappearing out of my sight another second later.

There is high altitude commercial air traffic in my area, traveling to and from two large airports. These commercial aircraft were traveling approximately, at least, 5 times slower than the object I witnessed.

The majority of the flight paths for these airports are perpendicular to the path of the unidentified object I witnessed.

The commercial aircraft are easily identifiable by their colored lights, airspeed and direction.

I regularly see the Starlink satellites and they too travel in a path perpendicular to this unidentified object, and approximately 100 times slower from my perspective.

I immediately checked the viewable time for the International Space Station from my global position and found that it had possibly been visible (dependent on viewing conditions) albeit on a different flight path and approximately an hour and forty minutes earlier.

The unidentified object I witnessed by my estimation was traveling at at least 2,000 mph, with no marker light, no sound, and no sonic boom.

Small continuous light moving slowly across the horizon.

Came outside in my back yard and noticed a spherical light on the horizon. It floated slowly North to South following the horizon. In my opinion it was not a plane or helicopter because it had no flashing lights and moved way too slow. Then instead of moving horizontally it started to drift down past the horizon out of sight. The odd thing is I tried to record video of the object with my phone but even though I could clearly see it, it couldn't be seen through my phone camera.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Oval whitish-yellow light levitating in sky, kept disappearing and reappearing before our eyes.

On the night of July 16th, a quarter before 10 PM, my friends and I were sitting on the roof of our car on an isolated hill to look at the city lights when we spotted a strange light in the skyline. It was a small, ovular shape emitting a whitish-yellow glow right above a set of hills in the distance. We all watched in silence for a couple minutes and noted that it couldn’t possibly be a plane as we saw many passing above in the sky. However, as we were watching the light, it disappeared right before our eyes, almost as if a giant, dark blanket was thrown over it.

While we thought it was strange, we weren’t convinced it was an alien craft. But, about ten minutes after the light disappeared, we decided to head out and drive to a new overlook location higher up. As we were driving to the new location, towards the hills where we saw the light, it reappeared in the sky, this time much closer to us. This time we saw that whatever it was wasn’t attached to a radio tower, building, or anything else; the ovular craft was simply levitating. And this time, much quicker, the light disappeared again.

Round Glowing Ball seen by 6 people in Winchester, Tennessee on 7/4/20

On July 4, 2020 at around 20:00 hours while boating on Tim's Ford Lake near Dry Creek Beach in Winchester, Tennessee, six people witnessed a glowing ball in the sky to the North/East of our location. The time in which the the ufo was present is unknown, as we do not know how long it had been present before we noticed it, but once we noticed the ufo, it was present for about 45 minutes or so afterwards.

At first we thought the ufo was a paper lantern but it stayed in the same spot the intire time.

After arriving home, the next day we looked on the internet to try to get an explanation for what we saw, and that's when we realized that several other witnesses from other states all around the country had seen the same thing.

Triangular UFO sighting across Riverside sky...

My husband and I were outside about to have a smoke when we heard a loud helicopter hovering above us really low. Shortly after, my husband tells me to look up at the sky and we see two triangular objects flying across the sky at a slow speed and low. The triangular craft was made up of circles of that makes sense. They disappeared into clouds then we saw two black dots float across in the same direction as the triangular ufos.

I was driving south on Brockton Ave between Magnolia Ave and Arlington Ave. On the south side of the sky appeared three circles of about 6 lights traveling either as one triangular unit or in a V formation of three vessels. Lights were very low, similar altitude of a helicopter if not lower, but moving significantly faster than most aircrafts at that altitude. I first spotted the lights around Nelson Ave and they continued moving south, disappearing and reappearing behind the buildings until I reached Arlington Ave, when they dissapeared from sight in a south eastern path, again much faster than Standard aircrafts. The individual three circles of six lights also appeared to be spinning or rotating within their circle.

They made no sound.

Craft trailing smoke from 2 engines.

I was driving home from work on I-64 between Lexington and Winchester in the eastbound lanes. What I saw, and recorded on my iPhone, appeared to be a twin engine aircraft that was trailing black smoke from both engines. It appeared to be around 20,000 feet in altitude and moving in roughly the same direction I was – east. It moved slowly like an aircraft across the sky. Obviously not a UFO, although it was too far from me to confirm any details. I just thought someone should know about this event. I am a private pilot and know the difference between a contrail and smoke. This was smoke! I have pretty good video footage.

My husband and I saw 2 solid white, round objects, one larger than the other, "parked" in the daytime sky.

While in our morning walk, I looked up at the sky as I always do. It was a clear, sunny day with wispy clouds. I saw 2 bright white round objects stationary in the sky. I pointed them out to my husband. One was larger, as if perhaps closer than the other. My husband got out his phone to check the star map app. No stars in that location. Plus I have never seen a star during the day. They did not move as if they were balloons. Passenger aircraft flew over as normal on the way to Ontario International Airport. We both were fascinated but after trying to take pictures of them and not having much luck, we kept walking. I kept looking up but after a few minutes they either moved on or disappeared behind some clouds.

Triangular in shape, dozens of lights slowly descending and aircraft flying toward it.

Driving through the neighborhood north/northwest we saw approximately two dozen lights, in formation, slowly descending. It’s possible the lights were connected to one craft or several different crafts in formation. They were similar to an isosceles triangle with a wide base and short sides. We also noticed what appeared to be several aircraft heading toward the object or near it. I made my girlfriend stop the car (in the middle of the road) so I could snap a photo. She, a pragmatist, could only explain the phenomenon as a “drone show”. I snapped a photo but failed to realize the flash was on, and the photo does not do the sighting justice.

I have been taking pictures of the planets, due to the fact most of them are visible this month, for 4 days I have seen this objects flying back, & forth, but never going out of sight like airplanes usually do, I didn't pay much attention until today that I tried taking a picture of the objects using the flash,at the 3 flash 2 of the objects completely stopped in mid air high above my home, the sound they make is soft almost like the old squared fans, i had my binoculars on me, so I quickly used them to try to identify the objects above, they looked like a diamond with a bullet shaped piece on each side, sometime the sides have a plain white light, & change into one red & one green light that blink making it look like an airplane, but as it starts descending lower clearly visible it's not a plane, but an unfamiliar oobject, when I looked for the other 2 objects I spotted the 3rd one coming from were Jupiter was at that time, but there was a smaller object! beneath it with very dim lights hardly visible, it looked like an individual flying down with a jet pack with a fan like propeller on each side, it got so close as like a mile high, & a block away from me, but it was coming directly my way, at that point I freaked out & ran inside locked all my doors, & turned of most of my lights, but as I keep peeking through the window they are still up there now.

Loud booms n weird tangle

There was a lot of air traffick but anyway fireworks started n the stars started being visible for Independence Day so I went to look at the sky cuz a baby is about to b born in my family tonight n I noticed a lot of bright lights which I thought to be planets n one in particular was the brightest n I noticed 2 not so bright stars connected to a triangle n looking to my left another triangle with 1 bright star n then tried to see if any connected to a star or anything to connect all 4 or 5 bright lights but it was weird the 1st really bright one never moved but the others seemed to be getting further apart so went to the front of house see if I could get a bigger view. N the 1st triangle literally went from perfect 3 triangle to a long /l triangle. So go back to back yard n I notice yes there is fireworks going on around but there is booms n sounds like boom and hitting something n no sizzle or pretty fireworks in one certain area of the sky. Like I could still see sky n stars but I could see weird flashes of light in the sky like it was reflecting behind an invisible object.

N then all of a sudden one of the lights broke away from the 1st really bright light n blanketed the sky slowly within 5 min I couldn't see mountains in background or any of the stars except straight up in the sky. N I suddenly got a whiff of I dunno gun powder fireworks but smooth n less harsh n only for a second. I noticed the 1st bright light had another light replaced n a triangle again.

I got my binoculars n zoom in the bright light had 3 lights n it was like the triangle was tilted facing toward where the booms were booming from. I went inside after about 30-45 min n don't know what happen after the.

Light with a trail over riverside

The object in question was a blue light. At first, I believed this to be a star, but when I noticed a trail behind it, I knew it was something else. Especially at the height that it was, with two planes under it for reference, I knew that it had to be much higher.

Another thing was that for the height that it was, it seemed to be flying pretty fast. Almost seemed to be outpacing the passenger plane under it.

The point is, I saw this light, it had a trail behind it that crossed once, like a jet propelled aircraft, it was way too high and fast for it to be a regular passenger plane, and I cant find any information about it on the internet. I don't think it was a jet either.

Flashing object

Sunday morning September 9, 2017, between 1000 hours and 1100 hours, I was working on a vehicle in my driveway, when I noticed movement in the sky to my north-west. The flash(es) caught my attention as I thought it might be an aircraft making a turn and a reflection was off of a cockpit windscreen. I watched an object at an elevation of estimated 5,000 to 8,000 feet moving from north to south. The object moved at a consistent speed and elevation. The weather was warm with full sun with a very light breeze, barely discernible from south to north, with light scattered clouds that the object moved through or behind in its track. Flashing as it moved through the sky.

I was able to retrieve a pair of binoculars to get a better visual on the object. By this time my son and wife joined in the watching this unknown object and kept track of its location. The object had stopped and was now stationary in the western sky for about 5 minutes.

With the binoculars, I could not discern its shape; but the top and bottom portions were flashing separately and very brightly. The object was emitting brilliant white flashes alternating from what I would describe the top half and bottom half of the object. It appeared as though the two halves were rotating independently. I was not able to determine shape.

I looked away for about 10 seconds to adjust the binoculars and I lost sight of the object.

My son watched it as it moved abruptly to the west an undetermined distance and it was now, from my position, lower towards the horizon. The object moved west until it was out of visual range.

On the night of July 8, 2017, my wife called my attention to a red ball of light approximately 20 miles away, to the West.

The light was bright red and pulsing bright & dim. It hovered, then rapidly ascended straight up. On the way up, it changed color from red, to blue, to pale yellow, orange, then back to red, when it stopped.

It hovered a few moments, then remained red and slowly descended, below the horizon.

The entire event lasted about one minute.

The light was incredibly bright, for as far away as it was.

I saw a blue streak moving across the sky.

I live approximately 15 miles North of Omak, Washington (State), and about 25 minutes south of the Canadian border. At precisely 10:25 p.m. on April 7, 2017 - 13 miles north of Riverside, Washington, I was driving home (north) on Hwy. 97 when a blue streak of light went across the sky from right to left (east to west or NE to SW).

It moved from 360 degrees north to approximately 300 degrees in two seconds. It would have been approximately 1/16 or smaller of the size of the moon. The head of the streak was round with the blue streak following and being parallel & connected to the round ball - example (lollipop). It was very low within the earth atmosphere and could have been just inside the border of British Columbia, Canada.

Two of Okanogan County sheriff vehicles just passed me seconds before the streak appeared and so I am not sure if they noticed what my wife and I witnessed.

If others saw what we saw, I would appreciate them filling out a report; thereby, verifying this event.

We spoke via telephone with the individual who submitted this report, and we found him to be both eloquent, and serious-minded, in his description of his sighting. We suspect he is a very good, and very reliable, witness. PD

Strange orb looking lights floating across night sky in California

My cousins & I were sitting outside when she noticed a few lights in the sky floating across in the same direction. They looked like orbs just floating across sky but there were so many and they made no noise like that of an aircraft. They did not blink or have any flashing light but just seemed to disappear. They looked like white lights floating. I have video of it to at a certain time frame a light or something below these lights is seen streaking thru the sky below them. I can't find anything online as far as anyone else seeing this or an explanation.

I was driving North on I-215 and my 9 year old son shouted from the back, "Mom, mom what the heck is that?... Mom look."

Unfortunately, I was in heavy, fast moving traffic and just couldn't take my eyes off the road.

He watched a flat disc move at incredible speed across the length of the mountains. He said, "Mom, I know how fast a plane crosses that space. It takes minutes, and that thing crossed in seconds - the whole mountain range and then just vanished."

He couldn't get over what he had seen.

I am soooo bummed I missed it.

Several amber orbs in the sky that had a plasma look to them

My son and I were driving on Jurupa Ave between Grand Ave and Palm Ave. My son who was 16 at the time said, "Mom pull over, you have to look at this." I looked out the window and saw several amber spheres that had a plasma look to them. They seemed kind of low in the sky and were moving to the east. I tried to take a picture with my cell phone but my camera crashed when I tried. By the time my phone came back on line the object was gone. This image has stayed with me and I will never forget that night.

It took me years to report this because I didn't know a site like this existed and I feared people (other agencies) would make fun of me. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.

Orange orb over the 60 freeway in Riverside, California.

I was at the Van Buren Drive in movies in Riverside, California, when I suddenly saw a Orange orb zoom past over the 60 freeway. It was the size of half a small car.

I couldn't get a good look the exact size because it went by so fast.

I did see a helicopter about 30 mins after around the same location of the freeway.

Pair of white light balls rapidly fade in and out, over Riverside City, Southern California.

At approximately 21:49 (I checked my phone, after the event), while swimming, in our pool, my wife and I witnessed two very large balls of pure white light following one another, about 3 seconds apart.

They appeared as two low points of light, travelling South, in a straight line, grew very bright in intensity, then faded rapidly.

My wife told me, "I wouldn't have believed you, if I hadn't seen them, myself".

These objects appeared to be "in atmosphere" and well above normal commercial aircraft traffic (all air traffic is East West, in this airspace). No blinking, or colored lights.

Oddly enough, I've seen single balls of light, on the same trajectory, about once a month, for the past 2 years. This was odd, to see two lights, following one another.

Red lights to the North during Patriot High fireworks

Watching fireworks display I saw a red light to my NW thought it was a helicopter until it stopped on a dime and hovered for a few minutes then moved in a manner uncharacteristic of a helicopter back to the SW a 100 feet then it continued to hover and move in a very smooth manner a number of times. It then went towards the NE and I lost sight behind trees as it moved from the area. Too high for a drone too smooth for a helicopter and the manner of flight did not indicate a plane (which were in the area since we are on the flight path into Ontario airport) Multiple people viewed and exclaimed that it was extraordinary.

I saw a small red lighted ball in the clear night sky for approximately 3 minutes. I was able to take 3 photos of it. No sound.

While going outside to the backyard at 10pm., to close the pool gate, I looked up as usual to see stars on a clear night's sky. Directly above, was one round red glowing ball, just below the cloud range, easily seen. It moved closer, and I went back in a few steps to get my Nikon camera by the door. I then went outside again quickly, and was able to get 3 photos of it still there. The 1st 2 photos were about the same; but the third photo taken as it QUICKLY went deeper into the night sky. Only in the third photo, did I see any change in shape, from a circle. Third photo, it was a small triangle with an "arm" light streak. There were no other air crafts in the sky. There was no sound to the object, and it is very quiet in this area.

I was sitting in a car driving along the road. I was looking outside the window like i always do and glanced at the nighttime sky. I saw what looked like a bright green star, but it was moving horizontally across the sky and had a tail. It then suddenly disappeared mid-flight.

I also saw/reported a ufo(which was also green and star-like, but different) about a week ago. The two sightings took place in nearby locations.

Bright blue ufo and major power outage in my town.

I was coming back from the gym with my mom and as I was one house away from home on the driver's side was a bright blue light. It was very small so it had to have been very high up it was almost zig zagging in one direction toward San Diego as we pulled in to the driveway the object became changing direction now moving higher in the sky now instead of going toward San Diego it was coming toward our house but still very high in the air I could not see a shape only a bright blue light. I then ran inside to get my dad out of being scared he also witnessed the blue light now still coming in our general direction, moving at a steady pace we watched it for about 10 minutes as it got over our home it stop and descended up higher but still over our home until 5 minutes later it had fully descended up and disappeared .

Later in the early morning hours, I was still awake, watching a movie it was 1:00 am now everyone was asleep except for myself when there was a power outage in our whole town I thought it was just our house so I looked outside I couldn't see any lights but I could hear doggs barking. I called 211 who then asked me to call Edison and that was at 1:11am I reported the power outage to then through their automated system and on their recording had said that the outage had happened at 12 midnight I had only had no power since 1am . I hope you guys can make sense of this cause I can't when the power went out I was truly confused from the whole experience.

Strange light appears out of thin air and shoots down into earth, but not before disappearing again.

Tuesday night, I was driving home from school on Van Buren blvd and all of a sudden a light appeared in the sky--out of nowhere and very low to the horizon. It looked like a star appeared out of the of the sky which was not there before.

As soon as it appeared it stopped for a second as if it was completely still, then it proceeded to shoot down towards the Earth with extreme speed and disappeared into thin air before it 'hit'.

What made this stranger was that shooting stars are normally above you and not super low like that. It was suddenly there then suddenly not.

Very bright just appeared then more appeared out of nowhere.

It was my friend and I in my backyard we where talking. It was a cold clear night sky, you can see everything. I have a thing of always looking up in the because you never know what you might see. Well, back to the point.

I was looking at the sky looking southeast I didn't see anything that got my attention, so I turn around to talk to my friend. As fast as I turn around to talk to him, something inside of me told me to turn around again, so I did. As soon as I turned around, there was these bright light in sky. I mean way to bright to be a star, plane, flare and etc..

So that light got my attention real quick so I asked my friend was that light there right now he said no I said thought so. So we start looking at it then these one its by it self in the sky and another one just appears out of no where. We didn't see any tail like you would see if it's a flare going up.

At this time my phone is inside charging, so I run inside to go it. Come back outside, start recording it my phone had a little bit of charge, so I recorded a little video with my phone. Then my phone died. Tell me what you think.

Orion Belts seen in the daytime turning into moving star formationspr

It was around 4:30pm, bright day, and I looked up and there were three stars that looked like Orion's Belt, but I was seeing it in the day. I continued to stare and them then they started to move from Orion's Belt formation into an H formation. The left star move up two more came into view from below totalling 5.

They continue to move into an H then another come from the right. When they started to move my friend came down and I showed her what I was seeing. A plane flew by and I had to tell her to follow the plane and then said right there can you the stars because they were so high up. She did see the star things.

It was 11:00pm so I couldn't see the object to make out its shape. One set of lights were slightly lined up below the set of lights to its right. It was moving fairly fast.

I ruled out that it could be two jets because iv never seen two jets fly perfectly next to each other or fly next to each other at all.

I managed to film it on my iPod touch, but the results were underwhelming. My friends and I speculated that I could have been a drone, as 2 hours earlier, a fire truck had gone in the canyon to rescue a lost hiker. The object was quite high in the sky, possibly a mile or so. It was a few miles to the east of us, which made me discount the possibility of it being a drone searching for a hiker.

Friend's phone call leads to mutual sighting of object with odd 'plume'.





At 19:21 - according to my phone's call log - I received a call from my best friend, (who lives just over ten miles away in Norco, CA.), telling me that she was startled and amazed to be looking at 'something really weird' in the night skies over her home.

As I headed out my own door (to see if I could spot anything), I realized that it was unlikely I'd be able to even see the sky at all - due to massive rains all day and low, thick, stormy clouds not to mention our distance from one another. However, as I stepped out from between the houses and into the open, I found it to be largely clearing above and to the west. As I scanned the dark, patchy skies, I immediately spotted several aircraft tracking and blinking as on any normal, Friday evening.

As she continued trying to relate to me in excited bewilderment what she was seeing, I was just beginning to scan the night sky above my own house when she suddenly cursed that it had vanished; it had abruptly just 'winked out'.

As she started-in bitterly about its sudden absence, off to my west (toward Norco) - something odd suddenly DID catch my eye and I had to stop her. It was something odd and it was tracking southward. Whatever it was, it was clearly and definitely NOT an airplane. I was confused by its appearance. I initially considered a meteor, but no ...then a comet... but also no.

It appeared to be a small, solid, red light, shaped rather oblong lengthwise - like a thick grain of rice - with a comparatively huge, translucent 'bloom' behind it; kind of like the ones that envelop the rear halves of fighter jets as they pierce the sound barrier. But that's not what this was. It was utterly soundless and appeared to be moving more at the pace of a Cessna or helicopter, rather than any sort of jet.

Gobsmacked, I focused and strained and squinted to get as good of a look as possible as I mumbled into my cellphone what I was seeing as she excitedly confirmed that it was exactly what she had just been observing. I was able to clearly see it for a good six seconds, as it moseyed slowly along, due south - directly (and maddeningly) toward one of the many low, pink, angry clouds around the area. It then moved behind the cloud from whence I never saw it emerge.

I checked the 'color-change' box because although to me the object shone in an unblinking, unchanging 'stoplight red', my friend swears that it appeared as a bright white, to her. But what we both DID clearly see was the huge 'plume' at the trailing end. It was in fact this odd feature that first drew the eye. It looked like the top of an open, translucent 'umbrella' curved back and emanating directly from the rear of the object.

Again, there were typical, nighttime aviation activities ongoing in the skies above me - flickering jetliners and local flights headed this way and that at their various flight levels. I spotted about five or six flashing lights immediately and easily identifiable as normal, evening air traffic - but they all seemed oblivious to the object, which - in fairness - was more or less in a patch of sky sort of off to itself - and fairly equidistant from any other traffic.

Sadly, I've been unable to find any local (nor anywhere) mention of this phenomenon on the internet. SURELY she and I COULDN'T have been the only ones in Southern California to have seen this amazing object.

a triangular object with 5 bright lights.

I was walking home from a friend's house..as I looked into the sky I saw two bright objects . I didn't think anything of it..but as I continued walking...I noticed that the two objects were drifting apart slowly ..I then pulled out my phone and recorded.

The NEXT night. I saw the same thing..but I continue seeing objects coming and as they head east of my home..the just disappear into thin air..I had a severe Hallucination a couple days ago. I was laying down and my room suddenly turned black and white...everything seemed like a wave an moving in a wave motion and I was walking around..but then I woke up...I thought it was real ..it was SO vivid. But a strange thing...as I felt myself wake up..I saw a flash of a triangle shaped colorful object..I lost 30 minutes. But it felt like 30 seconds.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Riverside, TX, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

We witnessed 20 bright orange aircraft traveling from east to west, flying low, equally spaced apart, about the speed of airplane.

I live in a rural area around Riverside, Texas. The sky is very spacious here. It was on a clear night on November the 15 at 9:30 p.m. I was taking my dog out for a potty walk. I noticed how beautiful and clear the sky was. When I noticed some aircraft that I have never seen before flying low in the sky. They were bright orange lighting, not flashing, much larger than an airplane. They resembled the size of a space station that I have seen when it passes over. They were traveling from east to west across the sky. About the speed of an airplane. I could not hear a noise coming from them.

There was an airplane in the sky at the same time which I could identify and hear at the same time the other aircraft were out. It was traveling from south to north. The other aircraft all traveled about the same distance apart comeing from the same direction. I counted about seven when I first noticed them. There could have been more.

I went in the house and notified my daughter and she came out and witnessed them also. Then we counted about 17 but there were probably more that we didn’t set our eyes on.

Duration: ~10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Whitewater, WI, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Multiple lights in the sky moving somewhat together, hovering, then dissipated, silent, just after dusk.

My daughter and I were returning from music lessons when I thought that I saw airplanes circling out from MKE or Chicago (my dad was in aviation) as I continued to look I realized they were absolutely not moving as airplanes do, and that there were far too many, far too close together, and did not appear to move in the way of a conventional aircraft. I study them for as long as I could, and then decided I had to stop trying to figure out what they were because I was driving and having to divert my attention to the right of my vehicle and off the road to watch. I considered pulling over, but then justified to myself, that these must be some sort of collections of lanterns or something being lit and let go into the air by the college or something (though realistically I think they were to high for that).

I honestly have no idea what I saw, they were slow moving little balls of light, almost hovering and had a glow that did not appear to really match conventional aircraft wing,nose,tail lighting, just a single glow which seemed to hover and move slowly in a type of formation, but ever so slightly in varied directions (again why I thought perhaps lanterns of some sort. For the first time in my life I did have a bit of fear about it, but again having a father that did flight test, I quickly began to rationalize what I saw.

I have been trying to figure it out now by looking online for some celebration that may have occurred or something, but I truly have no concrete answer. They eventually just sort of dissipated (again why I thought perhaps lanterns) yet justifiably they were really high and it was just the oddest feeling...I just don't know (seen while driving towards Whitewater on HWY 59 about a few miles outside of town watched until I was almost to the first set of buildings) Any explanation, or thoughts are appreciated.

Round Cylinder shaped craft, being chased by 2 fighter jets.

Okay, I am reporting what was reported by several Riverside County citizens over the 91/215/60 freeway interchange this morning about 5:45 a.m.

There is a UTUBE video posted by one Tim Kaiser, with a cylinder being chased by 2 airforce jets. It's real.

I tried to send the UTUBE to your UFO site, but could not figure out how to do it. Is it posted on my Facebook Timeline Page. If you would like to contact me, I can share it with a site you identify. This is really amazing video.

Large circular light seen above horizon, completely faded to black within minutes.

Looking eastward, large circular shape that I mistook for a fog-covered moon until I noticed that the sky was completely clear.

Light was within 10 miles approx 30 degrees above horizon line.

Light was bright enough to have mistaken for the moon and over three minutes faded away to what seemed to be a blue/violet circular haze.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

On the evening of June 14th 2014, at approximately 23:00, I witnessed a slow moving light.

It was traveling South to North, at what seemed slower then most of the air traffic in the area and at a higher altitude.

It seemed awkward because all the local air traffic travels East to west.

I have witnessed Satellites before and they appeared to move at a faster speed.

The object I witnessed could be seen with the naked eye and was traveling slower than anything I have witnessed before, but the path was very specific, not like a weather balloon.

4 - 5 circular white lights rotate around a circular orbit over part of Riverside.

As I was driving my car out of our garage, and down our drive way, a circular moving light in the sky caught my eye. As I followed it with my eyes, there seem to be three or more white circular lights rotating around in a circle (like on an orbit path). I thought of searchlights, but didn’t see the typical stream of light. I thought of a helicopter searchlight, but there seemed to be no aircraft nearby.

As I drove on out of my neighborhood, I tried to identify where it may have come from. I never figured it out.

Tonight, I googled a group of words, and found this website. I read a listing for 4/3/2014 out in another city (I believe). They have a similar listing. That is why I thought I would report this one.

Fireball seen in rual Riverside Iowa

Around 5:30pm myself and 2 family members were walking from the house to the car when we heard what sounded like electricity cracking through the sky.

My daughter pointed to the south and about 500-600 feet in the sky was this orange-red fireball type object screaming through the air.

As it went over our home it set the car alarms off and our horses were trying to jump the gates. We noticed shortly after that our cell phones had shut off too .
