Lights staying still in sky that turned “on and off”

I was coming back home with my dad from the atm when I looked up the sky and saw 3 huge lights that I thought were just normal stars until I remembered that they were never there before and that in order for them to be that bright they needed to be really close. Everything changed when we got home and we stood outside watching when they started to move and turn off and on. I highly doubt this was a helicopter or a airplane to the extent that it was in the air without moving for so long. Afterwards I got inside and took my binoculars and I stared at the last light that was leaving and it turn from one night light into two lights shining different colors.

Was driving on road towards west of Salinas when we noticed a dark-colored, cigar shaped craft staying still in the sky yet moving slightly. We kept an eye on it and it began to move and as it went higher and hid in the clouds. About 10 minutes later we looked again and noticed that something got shot in the sky from what looked like the Moss Landing/Santa Cruz area. It was a very eerie feeling.

ENTITY ENCOUNTER

In the early morning of Friday, April 5, 2019, appx. 1:00 am, I awakened to something in my bedroom with my husband, sound asleep, and my 2 dogs, asleep in the bathroom. This orb of bright white light, had eyes, a slit that represented a mouth, was approx. 18 inches from my face. It “illuminated” my face, as it seemed to assess me while I was trying to assess it.

I remember thinking, did someone break into our house and is in the bedroom? The door was closed and this orb did not have a body, nor did I see any hair .

It appeared to have somewhat of a face; the eyes were staring through me, and was not a friendly gaze.

I remember being frightened; however, could not break my gaze.

Then it disappeared.

The encounter was a matter of seconds, approxx. 10-20 seconds.

This past week, I have been trying to understand what I saw and recount the details. It has been haunting. For a few nights, I was afraid to go to sleep. At first, I thought it could be a visit from a spirit(?); however, it wasn’t a familiar sight.

It wasn’t until I heard on the news, there were strange parallel lines in the sky above Los Angeles, the next day, April 6, that I believed it could have been an entity encounter.

To clarify my personality, I am a 63 year young woman , married for 34 years , no children , just my beautiful dogs. I am of sound mind, very grounded always level headed.

I do not participate in any groups or clubs We live on a hill top in Salinas surrounded by 8 acres, I cannot disclose our address due to my husband’s company, which deals in secure information from ((subject deleted)).

I am a ((deleted for the past ((three decades)) years in Carmel, CA.

I wanted to share this experience with you as it still haunts me and remains prominent on my mind.

Sincerely, ((woman's name deleted))

Driving by fields and see green light orb come diagonally out of sky and then back out lasting two seconds, 2 other drivers saw

Driving home from Salinas late around 2 am, not any cars coming towards us but two in front. Saw a green light flash in the sky and looked like it was coming down out of the sky and then just vanished out. We were not around any civilization, just fields. The two cars in front of us pulled over and i saw the drivers peering up into the sky as well. It was crazy and i couldn't believe my eyes but seeing the other cars look up and my boyfriend saw it too so it was definitely something!!!!

((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS))

Hi there! I thought it could have been a meteor as well but it was far too big and far too green!! It was like a green orb but the inside was bright! It was just crazy how to two cars in front of us immediately pulled over as well and i saw the drivers and passengers looking into the sky so I felt like they saw something as well and it wasn’t an ordinary meteor, but I’m open for speculation! Hahaha it was just SUPER COOL! I feel like I’ve waiting my whole life to see something like that!!

Video of UFO over Cali during wildfires 2017

On 3:40 pm in California, I went outside to my balcony because I had a headache all day and I wanted to lay down on the couch outside. As I sat facing northern Cali, I saw a falcon close by and behind it what appeared to be flock of ducks or gooses I thought to my self that are fleeing the fire in the north. As they came closer they started dispersing into groups of one two and threes, and they looked more like lights hovering rather than flying and moving smoothly in a harmonious balanced motion. I called on my daughter to get me my phone and to validate my sightings, she was not able to spit them, meanwhile my camera did. I have a video of 1:20sec long.

After they crossed my apartment, I stopped the video and rushed outside to maybe take more videos, and see where they are going, but they went out of sight and towards the sun direction.

I went back home and checked the video, they were clearly shown after I zoomed it while taking the pictures

Once I got home, I got out of my car and a loude motor noise above in the sky came closer.. The craft that I first seen passed above me, the motor noice was ridiculous loud it left birds chirping. I couldn't really see the shape of the craft it was still dark.

Slow-moving craft with rectangular light that changed colors as it swept through an arc

I was out walking my dog after dinner, when I saw a very slow-flying craft just to the north of our location. I would estimate that it was less than a quarter-mile away, but could not make out the shape of it due to the glare of street lights in the area.

The craft had two small red and blue flashing lights on the bottom and was moving so slowly that it seemed to just be hanging in the air. It made a sort of whirling sound as it moved by toward the east. When it passed us I could see a small, steady red light on the right rear of the craft and a small, steady amber light on the left rear.

After a few minutes of it traveling slowly east/northeast it turned enough that I could see what appeared to be a very large rectangular panel of light on the left side of the craft that rotated side-to-side in an arc. The light was very bright white when it swept from the back to the front, and very bright green when it swept from the front toward the back.

By the time I thought to get my cellphone out to try to get a photo, it had moved out of range.

Then the object went back to its normal looking shape for few secs then did it again. Then went black as if turned off lights and went back on. The object then disappeared over Marina, CA. It looked like as I was taking it.

I have a small video I recorded on my cell phone.

Ufos use eclipse and clouds to their advantage.

I don't know how to compose this in an organized way as the sighting of these objects had me over the edge. The night of the eclipse wasn't the first time I had witnessed these ufos, but it's one of the most memorable.

The sky was extra dark so my boyfriend and I had a better view of the sky, as it was mostly clear and the stars were extra bright. We were looking at the eclipse first and began to notice strange lights flashing all around the moon. These lights were like plasma green, blue, magenta, and red, and purple. They zoomed across the sky in a spontaneous way. The moon seemed to have some strange filter over it as if these objects were trying to do something with the moon. Around the moon it looked like there was sparkling objects moving around. Like glitter or something.

It's so hard to describe because it's nothing I've ever seen before. There were clouds and these objects would hide in them. Whenever they would exit the cloud the cloud would get a visible hole where they were penetrated and would move in that one spot where the ufo had passed through. It wasn't the way normal clouds move. It looked like there was also stars but they weren't stars. They had lights to them and would shoot out similar objects from them. The lights were blue, purple, green and red. It also looked like there was something very very black. Like a black hole or portal. There was at one point a green portal and in that area the sky became distorted as if sucking in whatever was in that area. There were also purple portals and blue portals. It was so amazing and I wasn't sure if ot as my eyes messing with me but my boyfriend saw the same.

These objects were aware that I had acknowledged they were there. I had a sense of being looked at from a distance and I knew it was them. They began to shoot out balls of plasma colored purple or magenta. They shot it right a my direction.

There were objects in different shapes like pyramids that were spinning and they were cloaked. Like transparent but I could see the shape. They would distort the sky in the area they were passing through causing ripples in the sky as of the sky were water. There was also disk shaped ones. More than 10 just zooming across the sky.

At one point I was staring at one specific cloud where a portal had opened up. There was a black object that was incredibly huge. It had a shape of a statue. Like the Statue of Liberty with spikes and very tall. It looked like that but at the same time seemed to be morphing into something else. Then the cloud covered it and I saw the portal get smaller and smaller. A lot of these objects were cloaked.

There is a lot more to this and the weeks following it had a lot of the same events mostly consisting of the cloaked disk shaped with the clouds.

These clouds had lights in them and didn't look like normal clouds. They would change shapes quickly and looked like they were writing out something in the sky in a strange way. It also had weird figures and faces. Like if they were trying to get me to understand something.

At that point I panicked and went inside. I know this sounds unbelievable but it is true. If I recall anymore I will report back. I would also like to add that on the weeks following this there were a lot of airplanes or helicopters in the sky as if they were searching for something.

The forth one appeared from out of a cloud. The forth one dove down a little then back up and moved towards th-e rest. They were moving slow like if they were cruising the night sky.

As I started looking at it the people in the parking lot started noticing them and started recording then. They flew over for about for minutes before they into the clouds.

Extremely fast horizontal trajectory white light

At approximately 8pm on the night of Wednesday, October 15, 2014, my wife and I noticed the fastest flying object either of us have ever seen in the sky above Salinas, Ca. We were on N. Main Street in our car facing South in moderate traffic when we noticed a bright constant white light in the sky above the valley traveling right to left, or West to South East, at an extremely fast speed that instantly grabbed our attention. It had no blinking lights as would normally be present on an aircraft and it was traveling so far that we immediately concluded that it wasn't a plane or jet. It maintained a horizontal trajectory, never falling the way a shooting star would. We watched it for approximately 20 seconds before we lost view of it in the distance, still glowing bright white as it traveled down the valley towards Soledad.

There were clouds in the sky, and while we saw common airplanes in the sky immediately after, moving slowly in comparison and receding occasionally behind a cloud, we both noted that the UFO never receded behind any clouds during our brief observation. This indicates that it flew below the cloud line low enough in the Salinas Valley to rule out a satellite or missile.

We have an annual air show here and we both grew up watching jets race over the valley one weekend out of every year. We both agree what we saw was by far much much faster than any jet we've ever witnessed.

flying objects about everynight, vortexs in my home, beings coming out of them

The flying spaceships are in my neighborhood just about every night, I attached some videos so you can see for yourself and also what I have experienced in a personal level. My son began to tell me about flying objects that were either a triangle hovering around the home that made no sound since November while walking the dog. I kept telling my son that he must it be confusing them for helicopters but he kept insisting they did not look like helicopters at all till April when I decided to walk the dog at night with my son that I discovered he was actually telling the truth and these flying objects did not look like helicopters or air planes. For one they make no sound, they are able to hover on top of the homes at a very very close range, they seemed to come out of a bigger a mean a much bigger space ships, the shapes of their lights change and they take off with such speed that it is almost impossible to see them take off till you go back and review the ! video and realized they took off so fast you were not able to see it.

I also will like to share an experience, I sort of put it together in a video that I am also attaching.

I am able to see vortex, I am able to see the energy they generate, when they open up, the beings that come out of the vortex which then turn into these sort of rotating flowers. I can also see the interconnection in the sky, they are like big flowers that interconnect and sort of like watching people and/or helping healing or I just do not know why there is these interconnections. I have several videos of how the vortex open up, then it is like these flying beings that then turn into rotating flowers and begin to assist people in healing, all while the person is feeling the pulling things out of their bodies, or their bodies begin to shake, feel hot rod entering their bodies all while I am able to see with my own eyes what is it that they are pulling.

I see DNA and atoms around me and others, the DNA strands are usually at the end of the snakes that I see, they carry them at the end of their tail, some of the snakes are huge, I mean gigantic. I can see the infinite space and the tunnels where these beings jump into sort of machines and enter the tunnels and then the tunnel closes. I am able to see when someone is ill, when they have attachments, when they are full of light, I can see the energy field when emerges and the material no longer is solid as we know it.

I had a vision after one day experiencing so much pressure on my head that I was sore for about 2 weeks the first time I attempted to meditate, I was told “You are awaken” In the vision, I want to believe it was God as I am a Cristian believer, came down from a tunnel or vortex and handed me a white electric ball, the ball hanged on my hands, it retracted and expanded and stayed on my hands without me touching it. I was told that I would be able to fight dark matter with it. After that, I realized my hands contained such energy that I can invade other’s energy field and pull what is been affecting them, it could be illness, faces of beings attached to them. At times the vortex opens up and the beings come out and begin to pull the things out of the person while I am watching everything they are doing, the person can not see it but they always feel it in their bodies for I would think it was all a part of an illusion on my part.

It is dark matter, when someone is ill, it is dark matter and the flying beings that turn into beautiful pink rotating flowers that surround the person begin to pull the matter. I am able to also pull the dark matter with my own hands without ever touching the person or by just praying/meditating next to the person that is ill. I am able to see attachments on people some of them have a silvery color, others are black with really ugly faces; However, I am also able to see people who are full of light and are surrounded by beautiful flowers, the colors are either pure white light, crystalline pink and sometimes light blue. I am able to see the shape and faces of such attachments, the color of people auras and their flowers. I am able to see when the vortex opens and the beings descend, then turn into these beautiful rotating flowers that then surround the person and begin to assist the person in pulling the dark matter.

I see sort of machines taking off and despairing into the abyss, while I have my eyes close, I can see everything that is happening, when these things are stubborn and refusing to leave and detach, which it is far more easy to bring them but really hard to get rid of them. I can direct the things that have infested the person to leave but is not that they are leaving this earth, I can see the infinite space full of stars, galaxies, then they enter these tunnels and the tunnel then closes. Sometimes these beings, as crazy as it might sound, I can see them jumping into these sort of things that look more like a machine space craft, or I am guessing they get tired and come and carry their stuff with them and take off.

The last experience I had was three weeks ago while I was taking a nap, I was woken up to hands on my back, I immediately felt I was sort of open on my back, then something from the middle was pull and as soon it was pull, it went into a tunnel. Even thought I was sleeping on my stomach I was able to see the what they pull out of my body. Then I felt hands pushing my back together, that is when I truly freaked out and jolted back. There is an open vortex in my room, it is there all the time. The beings come out specially if someone is in my room. A friend visited me and began to read a bible passage and as soon as he began to read the scriptures, the beings came out, turned into these beautiful flowers and stood right next to him sort of hearing or seeing what he was doing. I asked him if he could see them, he said no but he could sense them.

Large egg-like craft with bight lights observed for 2 hours at a time by 2-4 people for 7 days in a row!

At approximately 5:00 AM I noticed a very large, very bright light outside my bedroom window. I looked at it with my naked eye for about 10 minutes and observed that the light was staying in one place without moving.

I went and got my boyfriend who was in the shower getting ready for work. He suggested that we get my binoculars out and look at the light with them.

What we saw was so clear through the binoculars that we both had to sit down for a minute out of pure shock. It was a saucer shaped craft, more like an egg laying on its side. There were windows all across the center of the craft, where the light was shining through. The light was super bright, and white or yellowish in color. The craft appeared to be brown or grayish in color.

We both took turns watching it for over 2 hours, during which the sun came up over the horizon. The craft did not move from the one spot except very slightly coming closer to us and then going back to its original position. I tried to film it on my cell phone, but my camera on my phone was not able to zoom in enough to get a clear image.

We both watched the craft change shapes before our eyes into some sort of leaf-like shape, and then it ever so slowly, moved directly up into the sky until it was a small bright light too high up to identify anymore. The most amazing part of this is that we have now seen it every morning for 7 days in a row. With only very slight differences in exact position in the sky, and we have now captured video on two different video cameras.

We both know that this was not a star or planet because we clearly watched the stars move right past the craft which remained stationary. We also observed several planes come within range of the craft and fly right past it, the difference in size of the planes versus the craft we were watching was immense.

The craft appeared to be 50 times the size of the planes. There have now also been 2 more witnesses, my roommate and her boyfriend who brought over the best video camera yet to film what we! had all been witnessing every night for a week.

I expect that it will be there again tonight, and I plan on watching it again.

I myself am currently a law student, my boyfriend is a construction worker, my roommate is retired and her boyfriend is a large engine mechanic. We range in age from 30-58 years of age.

For the past couple of days starting December 22, 2013, I have seen a distant object in the sky that moves speratically up, down, side too side very quickly. This is not a plane for it will stop in mid air and then resume to move very quickly in ways no plane can move from this time and age.

I have witnessed this object for over a week in the Sky during full moon and it always appears in the sane area. It moves so quickly at times I can't believe what I'm seeing.

I would like someone too contact me and see this and possibly take video too prove what I have been witnessing...

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Huge pulsing object shoots across sky toward ocean.

We were on hwy 101 south bound maybe an hour past salinas.

I was looking at the stars in front of us when what at first appeared to be a shooting caught my attention passing over the car.

I assumed this for split second because of how fast the object was moving.

This is what got my attention...

The path of the object wasn't arching or sloping like shooting star.

It went in a straight line overhead at a very high altitude.

It was shaped like a AA battery with a pulsing orange/red/yellow light in the middle.

When it light up from the pulsing light we could see this thing was huge!!! I live 10-15 from a airport and have 737's fly overhead all day and night.

Even with the planes at low altitude, this object was still at least twice as big at high altitude.

And moving as fast as a shooting star.

Large Floating Diamond Shaped Object Seen Floating 50 feet above neighbors house

This event occurred in 2011, November 23rd around 7:15pm (Salinas, CA.) It was already dark.

I had just parked and exited my car and was walking towards my house when I looked across our residential street.

There, floating about 50 feet or so above a neighbor’s house, was a large, diamond shaped object with a horizontal line through the middle and lights in at least two of the corners.

It appeared to be about the size of a standard two car garage or maybe larger, it was hard to tell. It was space grey in color, self illuminated and made no sound whatsoever. I stared at it for about 5-10 seconds or even more trying to understand what it was. I next decided to try and get back in my car to see if I could get closer to it and see it from another angle, so I tried driving around the block but the object was gone. That was the end of the encounter.

NOTE: I am open to being contacted by NUFORC if further information is needed

Green UFO hovering over houses and rapidly speeding off towards the ground.

My boyfriend was driving me back home 30 minutes after midnight when we seen a UFO.

It was in the north part of town by the fields and the mountains it appeared to be hovering over houses. It was a bright green color that did not blink at all.

When we spotted the UFO it was hovering, then it moved side ways back and forth and rapidly flew towards the east. It was flying in a downward direction instead of upward as if heading towards the ground.

My boyfriend and I circled the neighborhood for over 30 minutes but did not find too many unusual things. We also passed by the airport and noticed that there was no airplane activity but the light tower was on.

sightings of moving crafts over salinas california in the early a.m hours of april 8th 2010

on the morning of 04-08-2010 at 3:15 a.m i was standing outside in a well lighted parking area.I had observed a shooting star earlier in the night and was now casually watching the few bright stars that were visiible even with the street lamps washing out of the darkness.

I was looking southeast when i observed two orange lights streak across the sky directly over my position,from the southeast heading northwest starting at about ten o'clock high to about 3 o'clock where buildings blocked further veiw of it's path.

The object appeared to have a orange light at it's front that shone out a short distance as it progressed and another orange light at it's back or tail.The object appeared to be long in shape and thin.The object seemed to be about a 1/4 mile in the air above me and seemed to be about 200-400 ft long.The objects body ,or area in between the leading and tail light was blacked out against the night sky,but i could percieve somthing solid connecting the two lights ,due to the way they moved togehter as one and stayed the same distance when shooting by above me.

I was very startled and reported it to a supervisor who happend by minutes later.The supervisor had been indoors and had not seen anything although he related that a sighting had been reported the week before in monterey bay area and was upportive ,if not a little suspicious of why i chose to get so excited/agitated.

The supervisor left me at my assignment outdoors and i continued to watch the sky,except now i was very excited and afraid.

At about 3:50 a.m ,or 20-25 minutes after seeing the first object,i observed a second object 2 miles away, due south and about a 1/2 mile high in the sky or 20-30 degrees above the horizon.The second object appeared as white very bright light that was not blinking or pulsing.The object appeared in a dark section of sky that i was already looking at and appeared to just turn on in place and right away moved morth west in the same same direction as the earlier sighting.The white steady bright light was a few miles away from me and moved much faster than an airplane or satalite but slower and more steady than a shooting star.The second object also moved out of my veiw as i watched it untill buildings blocked my veiw.I was very startled to see a second unbelievable object and neglected to check my cell phone this time to record the time mentaly.

At 4:06 a.m in the same section of sky but a bit farther south and farther away from my vantage point than the second sighting,i obsrved a third object.

The third object was a exact match to the second object,a bright steady white light that appeared in the middle of a dark section of the sky.The thirs sighting was the same as the second sighting in it's path and behavior.

I am very good at seeing satalites and airplanes and shooting stars and have spnet years ppointing out these things to friends,as well as having spent the past four months on my present graveyard shift ,where i get to be outside and observe shooting stars,satalites,and airplanes all night long.

I never expected really see somthing so unusual in real life.The first object reminded me of the ciger shaped objects from airline pilot sightings re-enactments on t.v.

The above statement is true and not any type of conventional aircraft or missle test,as i have witnessed many military tests and most aircraft flying today.

The objects made no noise,had no trails left bvehind ,and were below the level of all but cropdusting aircraft.

I am telling my event in the hope that others who may have seen somthing like this in my area will come forward and i can maybe learn more and not feel so alone on my experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read this event as it happened to me.

No of observers: 3

Location: Salinas, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects, Emitted beams, Electrical or magnetic effects

30 - 40 min interaction with triangle craft

At about 7:00pm – 7:10pm, my wife and I were sitting in the living room; I got up to make a call but all of the phones in the house were not working. We went outside for a cigarette. It was dark outside and overcast. I live in a small suburb community a couple of miles from town, there are not a lot of street lights around here, so the street is not well lit. One strange thing that we noticed was that all of the dogs in the neighborhood were barking. We first saw the object to the right of us. At first the object was an intense neon blue light, bar shaped at first. The object would hover and cruse just below the overcast clouds line circling us, flying slowly and changing altitudes. Its movements were smooth quiet and squared. The light would change its shape, having a few different light patterns on the craft. When the craft seemingly noticed us it put on a display of unnatural and impossible maneuvers; Moving from a dead stop to unimaginable speeds in an i! nstant, making 90 degree turns at high speed, then coming to a complete stop, all the while moving without a sound. I told my wife to get the camera so we could take a picture. She ran into the house to grab the camera but every time we tried to take a picture the craft would pulse and the battery power would be drained. Then we would mess with the camera and it would come back on with battery power but when we tried to take the picture again, the same thing would happen. Finally when the craft was at its furthest points away from us we could get a shot of it, three in total. When we captured it, the craft would react. With the first snapshot, the flash failed to flash, and the craft returned and put on a display of its maneuvers, then continued to circle us. The second snapshot again with no flash. The craft came right in front of us, banked its angle and exposed its shape to us. All I could tell was that it was pure black with blue lights. The bar light turned into severa! l individual lights fading off and on. I could see that it was! triangl e in shape. I couldn’t easily see the shape because the craft was dark and I was too focused on the lights. Then the ship would again start to circle us. Still when the craft was close to us it would turn our camera off. So my wife handed me the camera to see if I could get it to work when my wife screamed, “O my god look at that!” I looked up at the craft; it had a beam of light going to the ground with a red orb returning to the ship. I didn’t get to see the whole event with the orb because I was looking at the camera but my wife witnessed the whole thing. The orb returned to the craft and it began circling again. I gave the camera back to her she got the third picture; the best one. The third time the camera flashed. The craft turned to face us and closed the gap of distance from where it had been, to where we were. It sat just above the neighbor’s house. We were looking at what I believed to be the front of the craft. The craft fired a pulse of light towards us and I cou! ld feel a surge travel through my whole body, and my car was popping as if the sheet metal was warping. Then the craft began to circle again. We noticed that the phones were now working again and I was able to talk to my parents and franticly tried to explain to them what was happening. I thought we can’t be the only ones to see this so I ran across the street to get the neighbors outside to see this as well. I knew they were home and I could hear them in there. I was franticly knocking on the door and ringing the door bell, but no one would answer. Soon enough a car was pulling down the street it was my wife’s mom. We yanked her out of the car to see it. Then three minutes after she arrived home, the craft was gone. It disappeared in the overcast clouds. After all of this excitement I noticed that where the craft was flying it had opened a hole in the thick overcast clouds that took a few minutes to fill back in, revealing the night sky above. In total the event lasted abo! ut 30 – 40 minutes. This has been a very emotional event for m! e and my wife. We both had bad migraine headache for the next two days and my life has been permanently changed.

Two faint orange objects moving in sky over Salinas

I was out stargazing at around 10:00pm with my 8” dobsonian telescope using a 25mm 1.25” eyepiece in my backyard. I was primarily looking at deep sky objects. I was focused on the Andromeda galaxy and wanted to look for the double cluster galaxy since know its location. I was looking towards the North-Eastern sky when suddenly I noticed two objects that I was never familiar with. There were two objects which were orange-ish in color. They appeared to be shaped as spheres. Both of the objects appeared within the eyepiece I was looking in. They appeared to be somewhat of a faint orange color. I can almost say that they were faint because they were in space around the Earth’s orbit and not in our atmosphere because I stopped looking in the telescope and tried to see them with my naked eye but could not. As I looked again in the eyepiece they were going in a south-eastern direction and suddenly made a quick turn going towards an easterly direction. One was below the other towards the lower right. The one below was sort of bouncing around or more like dancing around in no particular pattern. This stuck me as odd behavior. They kept their same formation and distance as they moved down the sky. I followed them for about 30 seconds and quickly called my 14 year old son outside. I asked him to take a look through the telescope and he saw the same objects I did. I tried to view the objects again, but they were probably below my fence and out of sight. I have seen helicopters, falling stars, satellites, & airplanes through my telescope and there were not any of those. I’m not saying they were UFO’s, but I certainly don’t know what they were. This was definitely a strange first moment for me.

I was observing a small plane at night when I noticed dim lights behind first aircraft.

I like to star gaze at night with my binoculars,whenever its very dark and clear.

On this night I was observing a star cluster and the occaaional aircraft that would fly overhead. I was observing a small aircraft, I know that it was a small plane be-cause I could hear the plane's engine running, at night you really can't make out any details out on the plane like wings or tail all you can really make out are the lights. Well anyway I was watching this plane when I noticed what I thought was another aircraft flying behind and just slightly above the first plane that I was watchig, I noticed that the second aircrafts lights were all the same color and that they were very dim for being an aircraft, I also noted that I could make out details about the shape of the craft, it was oval! There were no wings and no tail I realy do not understand how I could make out so much detail if the lights were so dim. I do not go around making ufo reports. The only other ufo I have ever seen was in the early sixties when I was a youg boy. My brother and I were walking to the corner neihborhood store when a huge green ball of fire flew right over our heads all I realy want to know if anybody out ther has had a similar expierence to mine and I want to know are these things real?

Round white object near Salinas freeway

As we were driving south on Hwy.101, we spotted a round, white object in the sky over some one story commercial buildings alongside the freeway at the Boronda Rd. exit off to our right. It quickly seemed to move off horizontally in a westerly direction, as we drove southbound away from it. It looked like it may have been about 500 - 1000 ft. high and about a mile or so distant from our position. It's possible it could have been a helium balloon, but it looked round and seemed to travel quite quickly, despite the apparent lack of wind. I lost sight of it as we continued driving further away. I looked at my watch and noted the time and also the location of where we were at so that I could report it.

Large formation of UFO's seen over south Salinas, CA on Oct. 11, 2004, in broad daylight.

My coworker and I witnessed a group of four bright round objects travelling in a fixed random formation from southeast to northwest. The objects appeared to be round/possibly spherical with one edge that appeared dark or fuzzy at times, and red at others. The objects also appeared to change shape from time to time. We watched the objects for 5-10 minutes when they stopped, still in formation. Immediately we noticed another small bright object heading from north to south in the general direction of the group. This object moved much more rapidly than the first four when another object appeared behind this object moving faster still. Just as the two were about to converge they both made abrupt, instantaneous turns in different directions, then looped, curved, and zig-zagged until both slowed and stopped momentarily. At this time the initial group of four began to move again. One object headed off rapidly and disappeared towards the northwest. The other three objects moved together in a constantly changing formation toward the south. At this time a bright blue object appeared directly overhead, and as we wathched this one, another reddish-white object appeared approximately 1-2 degrees east of it. We then watched as 3 of the initial 4 objects disappeared to the south. The red and blue objects headed off in different directions but we did not notice where as at this time several objects appeared in rapid succession heading east to west very rapidly. One of these objects appeared to have a long, maybe .5 degree line of very small and very bright objects trailing, leading, and then circling the central object. We witnessed one more object come in on the original path of the first group of 4 objects, travel a very erratic path and eventually disappear towards the northeast. The weather was clear and sunny with a very light breeze. The entire event spanned approximately 45 minutes.

I was not the actual witness but the news stations were discussing the incident for hours and the object was reported from Sacramento,CA to Los Angeles and perhaps even further out. A light described as huge, enormous, large, was falling from the sky at great speed and disappeared just before it hit the horizon. It is unknown as to how far away the object was or how large it really was. One person said they never saw anything so big in the sky, light the moon. Bright light object with no trailing tail.

It had an exhaust and was brightly lit. The front was rounded and moved at a constant speed. It did not appear to be losing altitude but it did look like it was burning up. We observe this object to be a white and brightly lit with no blinking lights of a normal plane. It had an exhaust tail that was quite uniform in two sections out the back.

My sister in Salinas saw a green light - about the color of a traffic light. At first looked like a shooting star but was slower and then changed direction. Appeared in yard (about 3 acre lot) just IN FRONT of the tree line then dropped into the valley and she lost sight of it. He impression was that it landed on the neighbor's lot. The dog barked, growled and repeatedly ran from the fence bordering neighbor's and then cried to come in. It is an outdoor dog. She called me in Hawaii at about 1 a.m. our time.

Fireball flickers to a huge tumbling black potato, eyes and all, looking rock

About ten to fifteen years ago, I was talking to my elderly mother on the phone next door while I was looking out of a large skylight. Living in a small canyon about five miles from and just out of sight of the Pacific coast, it wasn’t uncommon to see small planes flying over about five hundred feet up. They were visible for about ten to fifteen seconds. But without a sound this time, a flaming crop-duster appeared from over the ridge tumbling end over end about a second a turn toward the setting sun. I called to my mother, "Look out of you front sliding glass door, Mamma!"

She was too old & slow to see it while I described to her. Before the object disappeared over the hill I saw the flames flicker out, but with the setting sun shining on it, very visibly was a huge coal black potato shaped, eyes and all, rock still tumbling at the same rate until it faded out of sight.

I should’ve turned it in then, but better late than never. Now I figure it came into our atmosphere keeping its course enough to flame until it passed on through. Why wasn’t it on the News and how far up was it, and how big?

Occurred: 1996-12-18 04:45 Local

Duration: 3 min.


Location: Salinas, CA, USA

Shape:


The caller got out of bed to watch TV. He was sitting next to a window with venetian blinds, which were open, so he could see up.

He saw 3 green lights in a triangular formation "cruising" overhead. They were not moving very fast, and they clearly were not any kind of conventional aircraft.

The observer went outside to get a better look at the lights, which were solid--not blinking--but they were gone. However, he noted a very prominent light "at the head of Orion." the light was red, yellowish, and gold, and it had the shape of an arrowhead, but the back side of the object was "recessed a bit."

Then a second object joined the first!! It looked like a small, white, flashing light. Then both objects moved out over the Pacific Ocean. At this point, the larger craft split into two separate objects, the two parts recombined, and then the formation disappeared over the horizon.

The caller, a young man, and his girlfriend were standing outside, looking for the comet. They turned to the west to look at the moon and some bright stars and Venus to the west, when they noticed two distinctly pink lights streaking from north to south.

They were very small and very faint, but distinctly visible. They were moving relative to each other, almost "floating" up and down. Both parties saw both objects.

As clear as life, as like I had never seen a real saucer craft .

I had been repairing an opal engine for my son and we cam to find out we needed a special wrench.

It was sort of late so we decided to try the Monte Mart Store which had a auto parts department.

I asked my wife for her keys and we left on her wagon going west.

As we approached the turn to the intesection, we saw some strange lites that were going thru some midsize camphor trees, we thought it was some carnival at the school.

As soon as we made the turn on the intersection,my son's eyes were as big as large olives and he "dad we have finally seen one", I knew what he meant.

I decided to park right below it and e could see it was aluminum like and it had a row of windows on the bottmo half and a complete circle of windows on top w/a blue light always rotating. I told my son to check the bottom and I would check the top.

The bottom windows wre like frosted and we could nt see anything inside.

It was there hovering about 10 to 15 degress front down.

It was just as clear as observing a a plane at the airport.

When all this happened the object changed to a rotating platform with rotating yellow letter signs about 7 foot long.

It was garbeled at first but it started going around with Enlish letters telling us to tell the world, we decided not to tell anyone as we might look and sound like fools.

My son, my wife my two girls and I, talked about it for years.

And the lights were coherent lighting of different oolors not just any lghts.

The bottom was covered with antennae like sticks and also a lot of lights.

I said ten minutes but my wife and another 20 min at the store, my had always said it took us longer to get back and its only about 1 mile.

Disc shaped saucer craft seen about 100 feet away

I cannot recall the exact month or day but the year was 1979. I have never made public this information, this is the first time. I was only 6 years old when I saw this object. It must have been a weekend at about 5:30 p.m. and I had with two of my older brothers from some activities. I headed up the third story floor of where we we're staying at the Travelers Motel in Salinas, CA. I headed out the balcony just to catch some air and I happened to look up. As I looked up, about no more than 100 feet from me I saw a hovering disc craft that must of been about 30 feet in diameter. It had some lights at the bottom. Here is the interesting part: it said something about "FORD" the car dealership sort of like a blimp; I had just passed by the FORD Dealership about 30 minutes and they were having a sale. Anyways it was producing a humming sound sort of like a refrigerator. This object was heading due west and it was traveling at about 20 miles an hour. The saucer was metallic greyish and i got to observe it for about 1 minute till it dissapeared out in the distance but never the less had maintained its constant speed and direction of travel. I have not investigated this matter any further but I thinking that I will be checkin the local library regarding any newspaper excepts on microfilm for any reports during that particular year.

UFO fly's over houses and lands a couple blocks away in a school baseball field.

I was outside playing with my dog and it flew over my street Toro Blvd. towards the school down the road. I ran in told my mom and we walked together down to the school, the whole time my dog was going nuts I remember I could barely hold him, when we got there it was gone but it left a burnt smell and apparently where it landed it left a ring around the school field where it landed. I remember it clearly. The ring was incredibly big meaning the craft was big..guessing at the size now 40 years later I'd say it was 100 ft in diameter, was a perfect circle and was still warm to the touch. When it flew over it had blue to greenish lights underneath it and thinking about it now because I was young it could have been it's propulsion emiting the colors. It was only above the roofs of the houses by about 20 feet if that. It was close enough you could hear it. For lack of a better word it sounded Sonic, metallic whistle? Hard to explain and more people than me had se! en it that day. I remember people standing in the street looking the direction of the school. There was actually a Salinas newspaper clipping that my mom saved for years talking about the UFO sighting. Many people seen it that day but I don't see any mention of it anywhere now. Must of been real otherwise we would see media on the sighting. It can be hidden from the people but I know what I seen and will never forget it.

Possible closely encounter?

I was only 7 years old when I had a strange experience. This is what I remember I was playing little league softball and a home fun was hit. I jumped on my bike and rid into a wooded area that I saw the ball fly into. Got off my bike went looking for the ball in the woods. After entering the woods I remember a bright light shining through the trees and an awfull smell like burnt rubber or sulfur. After that I remember I was laying on the ground looking st the sky with my hands across my chest and the soft ball in my hands. I don’t remember finding the soft ball so don’t have any idea how I ended up with it Gus’s I passed out from the smell and then someone or something put the ball in my hands.

Huge object. At least 2 football fields long. Altitude approx. 500 ft. Observed moving slowly westerly direct. No lights. No sound. Underlit by city lights.

My sighting took place in the early seventies, in Salinas, California. I think I was about 15 or so. It late and I didn't feel like going to bed, so I decided to do some stargazing. I grabbed a soda, and tossed a folding chaise lounge chair up onto the garage roof to lay back on. After being up there for a short time, I noticed movement in the eastern sky. It was not a moving point of light that I saw, but rather an area of stars being blocked out by a huge object moving slowly across the night sky. At first I thought it was a blimp, but quickly dismissed this when I realized that it was much too large. The best way to describe the object is to say that it looked much like a naval battleship turned upside down, only a little more rounded at the ends. It displayed no lights of it's own, but I was able to observe the underside as it had become dimly lit by the city lights. The thing that was really weird about this craft, was the fact that it moved in total silence. At one point, it was no more than 500 feet almost directly above me. I heard nothing from it. The object continued moving slowly in a westerly direction towards the ocean, and disappeared from sight. I am 42 years old, married 18 years, and the father of six. Up until now, the only people I've told of this were my parents, my wife and kids, and my best friend. I'm not saying that I've ever been abducted, but when I think back, there were some pretty weird things that happened to me during my childhood. I can remember being scared in the middle of the night, and getting out of bed. I remember looking down the darkened hallway, and seeing a small figure backlit at the end of the hall. I remember the figure appearing startled. I didn't recall anything after that, and dismissed it as a dream. When I awoke in the morning. Another time, I awoke in the middle of the night to see a small hooded figure kneeling by my bed. When I moved, the figure stood up. It was wearing a long, hooded robe, much like what a monk would wear. In ! the darkness, I could not see a face. This really freaked me out, and I snatched the covers up over my head. The next morning, I asked my parents if either of them had checked on me during the night. They said they had not. My mom said that maybe it was an angel, so that's what I told myself to keep sane as I grew up. The last weird thing I'd like to mention about my childhood, is a small metallic object I noticed under the skin of my outer thigh. I say it was metallic, as it was just under the skin to the point where I could tell it was grey metal color. I don't remember how it got there. I remember telling my friends that it was there from getting shot with a pellet gun, and that he pellet was still there, although in fact, I was never shot. the small "thing" is gone now, and there is no scar. I've never really put all this weird stuff together until the last 10 or 15 years. I kind of look at it as all being pretty circumstantial. I have, and do experience sleep paralysis from time to time. I know what that is. REALLY scary, but I don't remember being beamed up to a mothership or any of that stuff. I've lived a pretty normal, relatively uneventful life. I've got some baggage, like most people do, but nothing related to my sighting and the few unexplained occurrences of my childhood. I don't think I'm an abductee or anything. If I am, I don't think I want to know the details !

ufos belong to the US Air Force

My father,Lilbert L. Doss,was mustered out of the Air Force and trains to home were scarce. In his free 2 weeks before leaving California,he chose to visit Salinas AFB. After visiting friends there he accidentally wandered into a resticted area. In a large hangar,labelled "Top Secret',he observed and examined 3 flying discs. All had USAF markings,and tripod landing gear. No obvious method of propulsion could be found. He was arrested ,interrogated and forced to sign a secrecy agreement.Some of this was done at pistol point. He deeply resented being treated that way by his government. He told me of this incident before he died in 1990.He said, "There arent aliens flying those UFOs.....they are ours"
