I saw white flashing things in the sky .They disappeared and reappeared. That happened more than once. I caught it on camera.

Me and my son were playing with bubbles outside our house. I randomly looked at the sky and saw some white objects moving in 'V' shape in the sky. First I thought they were white birds. As I thought they were more white than usual, I looked at them again. Then I noticed that they were appearing for a while and then disappearing. That happened more than once! It made me think that it could be a UFO. My son ran into the house and brought my phone and I recorded it. While recording, my son also saw the UFO lights.

First orb-- the size of Vega in night sky-- slowed to a stop in front of Vega. Within 30 seconds, multiple smaller blue orbs on display

02/10/25 545am PST from Rocklin, CA. Facing ENE, I watched an orb of light approximately the size of Vega (as it appears in the sky) travel from my left (North) at a rate slower than a satellite until it reached the sky in front of me, slowed down, and stopped directly in front of Vega. Approximately 30 seconds later, there began to appear smaller, faint blue orbs of light traveling at the same speed as the original orb, appearing well away from Vega in the sky but traveling toward Vega from different directions, and appearing one at a time at approximately 30-45 second intervals. One would travel from the left of Vega to the bottom right; another, from top left to bottom left; another, from the left curving around and above Vega. The rate of travel of the blue orbs was the same from orb to orb, and they were visible-- one at a time-- for varying lengths of time ranging from 10 seconds to 30 seconds. After ~5 minutes of watching this, I ran upstairs and woke my dad up to come down and make sure I wasn't hallucinating. He came down and we watched the display for another 10 minutes. Flightaware and sky chart/satellite tracker apps showed nothing from the appearance of the first orb until we went inside approximately 15 minutes later.

Glowing orb followed by a flashing light and a dim orb off center of main orb.

At first glance I thought it was a satellite. The object was glowing with no flashing light. As the object grew closer I noticed it had an additional light following just above it but dimmer. 10 seconds later as it got closer I noticed it was being followed by a flashing light, approximately 200 to 500 feet from the first light orb, as the orb was directly overhead the flashing light vanished and the orb continued on a straight path through the sky.

Shape: Fireball


Red very bright ball of light. It was cylindrical in shape and flickered.

My husband and I were driving East on Highway 80 from Roseville, off of Eureka. I was watching the fireworks from the new year celebrations in the Northern Sky and noticed a bright red ball of fire that I thought was a unexploded firework. For several miles, I watched it and it wasn't falling as a firework would. I then got out my camera and recorded 23 seconds of video. You see that the ball was hovering and not falling. It was too bright to be a helicopter or drone. You can see in the video that it is red in color and brighter than anything else I see. in the video, I am surprised by a firework that exploded just above us, so you can see where the fireworks where being done from, not even close to where the light was. Looking at the video and my memory, the ball of fire looked to be possibly over Loomis, Newcastle, even Auburn CA. It is hard to tell but there might have been more than one, as the one I recorded seemed to disappear for a while and come bac! k. It hovered low enough, I wouldn't be surprised if it was seen by several people that lived in the area.

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Three V shaped aircraft spotted flying very low and quiet.

The sun had already set and the sky was turning dark above as the horizon still had some orange and peach tones fading away. I was walking on the bike path behind the Rocklin softball fields towards the westside of the park and returning home from my routine evening walks, when I saw a commercial airline far off into the distance and flying weat toward SMF Intl airport. I looked directly in front of me and saw three black V-shaped aircraft fly over the Arroyo Grande Condos across the street. It was apparent that they looked small like oversized black birds in the distance but as I was close enough to see the third object fly behind the second that had flown in a half circle into the distance, it had an open V shape to it and it made no noice nor did it have any obvious lights. It was a completely dark V shaped flying object. This is what alarmed me because it was so quiet and made no sound and flew so close to the condos above. In fact, I questioned myself a! s to whether the craft were oversized birds or even mini drones but these flew steady, relatively fast and far into the sky. There was no one visible outside by the park on Sunday evening except over by the swings. The third similar object had no wings nor even a cockpit of any kind. It was flying about 5-6000 ft above the ground and at about 1000 ft distance between each other when I first noticed them, until the first aircraft flew off extremely fast and ahead of the others. I could still see it if I looked for it far into the clouds. The third tailed the second as if it was the wingman following it in succession. I did not understand how these crafts could fly so low to the ground and yet fly so high in a matter of seconds without an emmission of fuel left behind them like with a plane. They were solid, dark black aircraft, but because the sun had gone down, you could not tell if they were metallic but only that the third one had a V shape opening to it. They followed e! ach other like a team of aircraft flying together in unison.

Just as I approached the Condo's across the street from the pathway and within about 5 quick mintues, they had all three disappeared. I could not see them anymore anywhere. I did not have my cell phone with me nor was I able to take any pictures of my sighting but I wanted to share the event because it happened immediately over my Condo unit where I reside and flew directly Northwest into the distance over Highway 65. What struck me the most about this brief sighting was that I had a feeling that I needed to walk back home on the pathway instead of all the way around the north side of the park. I had a feeling that if I didnt turn around, I would be missing out on something, and there it was. I was fixated on the first object and then within seconds, a second appeared out of nowhere, then came the third. It was too obvious to me that these V like aircraft were not supposed to be in the sky and so close to home but I am glad I paid attention to my intuition and got a glimpse at some! thing so tangible and real that it spoke volumes that we are not alone at any given time.

Large formation of lights in the sky at night at a pretty high altitude without any noise.

I went outside to put out the garbage Sunday night, it was dark, but a large formation of lights appeared to be traveling slowly in the sky. It didnt count how many lights there were, but over 50. They really stood out. I yelled to my wife to come outside, she did, and she tried to take pictures, but they didnt come out. Some of the lights were brighter than others. They were traveling from the east to the west.

As they passed over the house, they began to turn in a southerly direction, but instead of staying in a formation, the turned and went single file. Then they really accelerated and disappeared pretty quickly. They were pretty high in the sky, and I never heard a sound. When the sighting was over, my wife and I were talking about what we saw, and the next door neighbor walked up to us and said "did you see that, and pointed to the sky". So he saw it too!

I was headed towards sunset on whitney at about 730 and noticed a man standing outside his truck at quick stop and taking a picture of something across the street towards the US Bank. When I looked over as I made a right turn I noticed above the bank was about 50 lights or so in a streak formation. Too many to be drones I think, but looked like stars. I kept going and then when I was coming home 45 minutes later it was gone.

Bright blue light flashed and moved slowly only to disappear again. I was driving home from work around 10:20pm and it caught my eye.

It could have been a meteor passing through the atmosphere, but I've never seen one that bright and blue and slow before.

Star-like Object wobbling in the Distance and a Large Black Triangular object with 3 bright lights and a red light in the middle.

I walked out front of my house in Rocklin, California, around 2 am on Monday Morning, and I noticed a distant star like object that seemed to have a glowing tail. At first I thought I believed it to be a star, but then I noticed it was wobbling and appeared to be falling. It was glowing from red to blue, at which point I ran inside to get my mother and my nephew to make sure they saw the same thing I did. They came outside and confirmed what I was looking at. The star like object was wobbling back and forth while changing colors. Then it appeared to throw tiny sparks out of the northern end. We concentrated on this object for a while trying to figure out what it was. Our perception led us to believe it was taking place in outer space because the physics are not possible due to earth’s gravity and atmosphere. We knew it was not a star or a plane, we did not know what it was. We were bewildered by what we were looking at and we started looking around the night s! ky at other stars. Then we saw something truly remarkable. A large black object which had 3 bright lights shaped as a triangle with a red light in the middle, and it was hovering for a couple minutes directly north of us. We started to point at it, and were shocked and were not sure what we were looking at, then it started to move, and it flew directly over us. This object made little to no sound, which did not make sense considering how big the lights were, at that point we knew we were seeing something unexplainable. This object flew right over us, picking up speed until it moved behind a tree and then it was gone. The triangular object moved much faster than normal planes and helicopters. This object was almost silent and we are not sure the distance to the ground because the lights were huge and very bright. Once it passed the trees we lost track of the object. We focused our attention back to the original star like object. The star like object was still hovering and ch! anging colors while the triangular shaped object was gone. Abo! ut 1 min ute later we saw what seemed to be a helicopter that made a circle around the area we saw the triangular object. The helicopter was loud and had normal looking lights thus we believed it to be a helicopter. Also a few planes flew in that direction afterwards, again, they were loud and contained normal lighting, and the speed of the helicopter and planes were normal. The triangular object moved faster than both the helicopter and planes. The triangular object also was silent compared to the helicopter and planes that came next, (Almost like they were tracking this object) We believed the helicopters and planes were tracking this object because they flew in the same direction and made a circle around the star like object in the distance. We must have sat outside for 45 minutes at least trying to figure out what we saw. The Star like object in the distance was still hovering/and blinking which looked like it was falling. But did not actually fall, we watched the star like objec! t grow dim until it to was gone. At this point the night sky was silent again, we decided to go back inside our house, and none of us were sure what exactly we saw. The craziest thing was how big the lights were on the triangular craft like object, and the red light directly in the middle, we are still not sure what we saw. We cannot explain it. We all agree we have never seen anything like this before.

Two Unidentified Objects Flying in Sky Over Sacramento County on February 9, 2013 at Approximately 6:25pm

Looking out to the Southwest direction from of the Western-facing window of my condominium in Rocklin, California, I saw two circular shaped objects in the sky. I first saw the objects at approximately 6:25pm. They were very bright and seemed bigger than any airplane, helicopter or other aircraft. They were several miles from me and were definitely flying over an area in Sacramento County. They could have possibly been flying over Citrus Heights, California, Fair Oaks, California or even Rancho Cordova, California, depending on their distance from my home. The objects were very bright and were mostly yellow-colored, but they occasionally changed to a green color, and even red. They move in all directions and change direction quickly. They appeared to stay relatively low to the ground, but they would sometimes fly higher up in the sky. F rom my window, I saw two other people on my street who were outside witnessing these two objects flying in the sky. They wer! e capturing video footage of the objects on a cell phone, smartphone, or a similar device.

Flashing Red Llight Over Rocklin, Ca

I have seen the same lights several times in the past to weeks. They are in the NW sky from my address. Sometimes there are 4-5 lights, last night there were 2. One was white, the other was amber and would turn red and start flashing. The red flashing light was most visible and would flash and slowly and drift horizontally from side to side making it difficult to video. Last night, at one point, a commercial jet flew towards the red flashing light. The light moved over and became very small, and after the jet flew by, the light got bigger again and started flashing red. This light flashes red for a minute or so, stops and becomes amber, and slowly builds up to flashing red again. I have seen this light in the night sky over the past two weeks as I am taking my dog out before I go to bed. I've worked in aviation in the military and know this is not a helicopter, blimp, or airplane. It makes no noise and has no flight path. It's like it's just hangin! g out. It's color is not super bright. It's red like a stop light. And, it's not a solid red. I can see lines through the color and it's shape is not a circle or orb, it's shape is very interesting, almost like a winged creature. Like a giant firefly. There is definitely something going on that cannot be explained. I hesitated to report this. I don't know why others are not seeing this as it is very visible. One other point, it alternates it's flash with the other white light that I am also seeing.

Small dot of light grew rapidly into a brilliant rectangle and then vanished.

At approximately 9:35 PM (PST) I went into my backyard and as I was doing so I was looking in a south easterly direction. Almost immediately, a small pin prick of a light grew in intensity as if someone was turning on a dimmer switch. The light grew rapidly into a brilliantly bright white rectangle and then vanished.

As it was happening I called my family outside while I described the sighting, but by the time they arrived outside it had completely vanished. The entire event took no more than 5 to 10 seconds.

If I extended my arm in a "Babe Ruth calling the shot" fashion, the object appeared as a pin prick and grew to about one inch long strip approximately 1/4 inch wide in comparison to end of my extended arm. I remained outside for the next 30 minutes without any further sighting.

Rotating, dark gray, rectangles I saw during the DAY!

This morning at 9:03 AM, I saw in the bright, blue sky, what appeared to be a dark gray rectangle flying across the eastern sky. It was faintly dark gray and was spinning so it looked like a rectangle building block being thrown and spinning. It spun and flew slowly for about 9, 10 seconds. I was watching this from my balcony so I had a very clear view. It was spinning to look as if someone had thrown a very big, very far rectangle and it was actually going very fast and I would be able to tell if I was way closer.

Then all of the sudden, it stopped spinning, it was still flying for 3 seconds, then stopped flying also. Since it was sitting there just still and obvious for a couple seconds I wanted to grab my low power telescope as soon as possible. So I got my telescope and came back out. It was still in this position. So I looked at it through my telescope, and all I saw was the same big gray rectangle but, this magnified, I could see that one corner of it (the top right corner) had a bent, broken off part. I zoomed in and out and if I zoomed out slightly, I couldn't see the broken off part. It just looked like the rectangle I saw without the telescope. But through the telescope, as zoomed in as I could possibly get, I could see the faintest yellowish glow around the edges of the rectangle. There were no sounds or rumbles whatsoever coming from said rectangle(s). Nor any lights. Just dark gray.

I know it had to be something far, far off in the night sky and not some kind of bag or weird toy (they're making all kinds of weird, powerful kids' toys these days) because even through my telescope it was still far and fuzzy. And I've easily looked at Jupiter through my telescope before.

After putting my telescope back down on a chair, I looked back up in the sky and it was gone... poof... just... gone. Very frustrated, I stayed on the balcony looking at the sky. The same thing came again, appearing over some nearby buildings. But this one (or the same one?) was not spinning, just flying through the sky very slowly. I looked at this one through my telescope and saw nothing. Not one thing! So I looked up and it was gone, again. Weird? A little creepy.

[Conditions at this time were 84*F outside and no clouds in view during this sighting]

Round Reflective Object Veiwed in Rocklin, CA at Approx. 6:10pm on August 22

On Sunday August 22 at approximately 6:10pm, 3 others and myself were sitting outside on my balcony. I was sitting facing northeast and as always, I searched the skies for anomalies. I noticed an object at approximately 60 degrees above the horizon. The object appeared to be circular and reflective. As I was watching the object, I was trying to figure out if it was a balloon or perhaps a star. I pointed the object out to the 3 other people I was with (we all adults late 30’s to early 40’s) and 2 out of the 3 others were able to see it. As I was watching this object for a 4-5 minute period, I also noticed another fainter object the right at about 30 degrees higher.

The 2 others and myself were discussing what might this be (alternating looking at each other and back at the object) when out of my left peripheral vision I saw a reflective object move by at an accelerated speed. When I looked up to where I originally saw the object, the object was gone, as well as the fainter object. I am not sure if what I saw was the object itself moving swiftly by, or if it was something else like a translucent insect reflecting the sun light high up in the sky (I didn’t get a good feel on the actual altitude)? I am just wondering if anyone else saw this object and I will keep checking back to see if anyone else reports anything.

silver craft with circular blue light on underside. Yellow glow from above. very fast and loud. Saw it zipping past trees above and coming back again 4 or five times. Seemed to make a kind of figure 8 in the sky. Prior to it's arrival the air was fairly calm but it became very windy and stayed that way for about 5 minutes after the craft was gone.

Saucer spotted near Rocklin CA in clear, mid-morning. Observed for 20 minutes

Approximately 10am I noticed what I first thought was a helicopter hovering above but became curious when I didn't hear any sound. As I further observed it, the movements were not what one would expect from a helicopter. At that point I told my girlfriend to come out and observe what I was seeing. I didn't tell her what I thought it was... and she excitedly said it was a UFO. You could see the glint of the sun shine off of it as it turned various directions very slowly. It did not make any quick directional changes, but did appear to slowly turn and at times got verticle to our viewpoint showing that it was definitely saucer shaped. We got my binoculars and observed it for about 15 more minutes as it got further away. The only explanation outside of it being a UFO would have to be that it was an extremely large, saucer shaped mylar balloon. The coloring was either gray or silver. Difficult to tell at the distance it was from us. My girlfriend did take several pictures with her digital camera, but of course it only appears as a dot in the images.

Shape: Circle


My husband and I were driving eastbound on Interstate 80 between Rocklin and Auburn, California. A bright glowing blue light appeared for just a split second off to our right and slightly ahead of us, which would have put it in the southeastern sky. It was about halfway up in the sky. It was more or less round in shape and glowing. It was very bright one second yet vanished into total darkness the next. It was fairly large, perhaps about half the size that a full moon appears when seen with the naked eye. The shade of blue was a light greenish blue or pale aqua color.

Shape: Light


Brilliant white light that pulsated, enlarged, pulsated again, faded and moved away.

At 6:05 PST, November 9, 2003. I had gone outside onto my patio which faces eastward and was observing the moon. I then glanced up to Mars and saw it clearly. But about 5-10 degrees from Mars toward South, (nearly in line with Mars) was a brighter object that immediately caught my attention. My first thought was it was a star, but brighter, whiter, and larger than Mars, and so close to Mars, and I wondered what star is that? It appeared stationary, and then in a second it pulsated, with the white light becoming brighter, more brilliant, then pulsated again, slightly dimming some of the brilliance, then pulsated-enlarging again, to even larger than my original sighting, and then in another second or so, it began to fade and then I was aware of its movement away (southward) and slightly upward, and it faded out to a pin light before disappearing from my view. My observation from beginning to end was approximately fifteen-twenty seconds. Except for a few clouds scattered in the eastern sky, the sky was completely clear in that direction, around and above the object.

This object was not within the normal airplane flight pattern, which I often observe evenings as planes go into Sacramento from the North, (I observe those to the North of my position) or other planes that fly over. I have never observed a plane in that position. I heard no sounds, except some ducks, and because of the geography here, sounds normally carry far, whether it be a plane or helicopter in the area, the train several miles away, or coyotes, or cattle. I believe what I saw was not a normal aircraft of any kind.

Light seen over Auburn Ca.

While driving east bound on I-80 in Rocklin I saw a light blue-green light. At first I thought it was an aircraft but realized it was moving much too fast. It moved from South to North. I had an unobstructed view of the sky. The light suddenly appeared and traveled downward at about a 30 degree angle to the horizontal until it disappeared at my horizon line but in front of the backdrop of the Sierra's. It traveled in a straight line. There were no red/green/white marker lights to be seen. Had it been a meteor, it appeared to be headed for Auburn. As I drove through the area, there was no emergency vehicle activity to be seen. There are no airports in the area that could accomidate a plane that was this fast. There was no "tail" indicating atmospheric ablating of material as should be seen from a meteor this low in the atmosphere. After returning home at 19:20 I checked off my back deck for any signs of fire or other activity. There were none. From my back deck I can see about 50,000 acres of the Sierra Foothills along with the entire North Sacramento Valley.

I am an engineer, amateur radio operator and pilot.

Duration: 10-15 seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Rocklin (outside of Sacramento), CA, USA

Shape: Unknown


Heard loud whishing sound (10-15 sec) It circled the house and left. Was loud enough to wake 3 people up. Daughter went outside to investigate. Saw nothing. Heard same sound off in distance 1 min. later. No engine sound. No helicopter sound.

06:30 hrs. Sat. 23 Oct 99 I was having a dream. I was looking up at a starlit night. I focused in on a triangular craft. (I saw a triangular craft 4 Apr 97) This craft started to bank and go in a small circle. (97 sighting - craft made no noise) I wanted to listen to the sound it was making. It sounded like a whosh of some sort. Much like the scarob in the game Riven. There was no engine sound, just the whosh like air was being fanned out of the way. The UFO in my dream got closer as it circled counter clockwise. Then it shot off. Later that morning after waking up I went out to the kitchen and my daughter asked me if I heard that sound. I was a bit surprised. She defined the same sound that I had in my dream with exact detail. Even the circling. It was such an unusual sound that my daughter ran outside to see if she could see anything. She heard the same sound from far off in the distance about a minute later. Keep in mind that she is 15 and still a little scared of the dark. But the sound was so loud and strange, she managed to go out back to search for it. We lived in this house for 12 years and NEVER heard anything like that. I've worked with trains, helicopters and lots of sound equipment and I never heard this sound.

One object was obviously pursuing another at very high altitude

Well, better late than never. Between approximately 10:50 PM and 11:10 PM on Saturday, August 2, 1997, I saw the following from my Rocklin, California (NE of Sacramento) home: In the general area of Polaris, an object appeared that looked, at first, like a normal satellite, except for two things: 1. It was traveling slightly SE to NW, rather than the more common straight W to E trajectory, and 2. It suddenly was joined, in apparent tandem flight, by another object of the same size except this second object was blinking. This second object was moving slightly faster and appeared to be following the first object. Suddenly the first object changed direction at a 45 degree angle and began moving more easterly. The first object appeared to be trying to evade the second object which, at this point, was along side the first object. I then used binoculars and did pick up one of the objects. Then the first object picked up speed and suddenly both objects disappeared.

Both these objects were pinpoints. The second object with a blinking light was much smaller than any high-flying airplane. There was no jet sound; the night was quite quiet. Individually, I would have labeled them ordinary orbiting satellites. The second, blinking object looked like a satellite except for the blinking and the attempt to catch up with the first (non-blinking) object.

My 15 year old daughter was observing the sky with me and noticed the two objects at the same time I did. She confirms what I saw.

I contacted nearby Beale AFB; they confirmed nothing. I contacted NASA, whose rep suggested it was something from Beale.
