White Light Hovering Over Santa Rosa Mountain

At approximately 11:00pm I was laying in the tarped bed of my truck in the Santa Rosa Mountain Yellow Post campsites at about 7800 foot elevation. I was the only camper/hunter in the area that night and it was pitch black out. Instantly everything (all natural animal/insect noises) went completely silent and the entire area lit up brighter than the brightest full moon I’ve ever seen. But I knew it wasn’t the moon because I had already located the moon prior to that and it was a dimly lit waning gibbous. Thinking a really quiet truck was pulling into the campground with its headlights on, I peeked out from under the tarp and saw a stationary, bright white light, about 20-30 foot in length (about the size of a medium sized helicopter but with the light encompassing the entire object), hovering at tree top level, behind an about 30-40 foot tall pine tree, only about 100 yards away. It made absolutely no noise, didn’t pulsate or move, and did not radiate any sort of heat (it was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit that evening). I observed it for at least a minute before fear took over and I sank back down into the bed of my truck and into my sleeping bag. Therefore I have no idea what it did or where it moved after that. I must’ve fell asleep and didn’t come back out of my sleeping bag until approximately 2:30am, drenched in sweat, at which time it was gone, and everything was pitch black again. I was completely sober and not tired nor sleep deprived at the time of this sighting. I stayed the next night at the same campsite (only because I didn’t recall this incident until 2 days later) and did not experience any further bright lights. I’m no expert tracker, but I did not notice any out of the ordinary tracks or signs in the vicinity of the sighting over the next two days. I’ve backpacked/hunted the backcountry routinely for the past 15 years, spent over 25 years in the military, and I’ve never experienced anything like this before.

Round bright light moving back and forth in the sky changing direction before moving toward the mountain descended & disappeared

Watched as a bright silver round light moved back and forth in the day sky, changing directions from left to right then up and down before descending rapidly disappeared in the direction of the back of my house when I walked to the back I could no longer see or find it. There was no visible lights since it was itself silvery and bright, no sound was heard.

My son and I were traveling in a sedan EASTbound, from Nuevo, CA. and noticed this oval shaped floating object!!

It was floating about 40 feet up and made NO NOISE. As we drove, I slowed down and it stayed in place. I purposely SPED UP to see if it was what I THOUGHT it was...(a UFO?!?) and accelerated from 0 mph to 30
mph. As I accelerated, ( the UFO?) Moved Eastbound, keeping.exact pace with us. Then when I stopped, it stopped! My son who's 10, and myself were kinda.creeped out? So we accelerated again and AGAIN this object kept pace with us. We bolted out of the area...and the.disc left my rear view mirror sight. Simply FASCINATING!!

Daytime sighting of black craft

I deliver propane to rural areas in the San Bernardino mountains. While I was filling a customer’s tank I observed a small dark speck directly under the sun and over Santa Rosa mountain. I tried to focus on this small speck to see if it was moving but it appeared to be stationary.
I was thinking to myself that whatever this object was, I wish I could get a better look at it. The very next moment a large (maybe 40-60 ft long) black rectangular shaped object just appeared directly in my field of vision (in between myself and the mountain). The object was black and extremely bright white light emanated from the bottom. It seemed to me that I was observing the object edge-wise so I can’t exactly say what shape it was but from my perspective it appeared rectangular.
The object moved a short distance and disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
Even though the close-up portion of this sighting only lasted a few seconds, it shocked and even frightened me a bit.
I’ve had several other night time sightings in these mountains but this was my first day time sighting.

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large Spherical light above Idyllwild

I go out every night before bed to stretch, breathe & look at the sky.
As I'm facing the north mountains, stretching, I see a large spherical red/orange shimmering light to my right. E-NE just to the left of the Idyllwild mountains. It appeared to be above the mountains & large, although there is no way of knowing the distance. It was steadily moving south & about to pass behind trees in the next lot. I ran to the front of my property, grabbed my phone & tried to record video. As it disappeared behind the trees, I ran to the back of my property waiting for it to reappear… It did not. I went inside & looked for the recording on my phone & it was not there. This could have been me screwing up in my excitement, but who knows.

I am very used to jets, satellites, rocket launches, meteors & this was nothing like that, or anything I had seen before.

I looked on social media for anyone else that may have seen it, but found no info.

Shape: Fireball


3-4 orangish-yellow objects in the sky over Riverside county.

It was around 10 PM on May 26th, I was laying in bed using my computer when a bright yellow-orangish light in my peripheral vision got my attention. I walked to the window and opened my blinds to get a better view assuming it was a helicopter because the light was stationary in the sky. I found it odd that there were no blinking aircraft lights, just a ball of bright light so I opened my window and there was no sound at all. Then it started to go higher and higher and it got dimmer from my perspective until it faded out into nothing in about 45 seconds to a minute after I first saw it. Then another one moved into view about 30 seconds later moving horizontally in the sky and it also climbed out of view like the first. I told my family and three of us watched as a third one appeared. I got my phone and attempted to record a video but I just took a picture of one of them because I hit the wrong button. After the last one climbed out of view I waited a few minu! tes and there were no more lights. I saw at least three separate objects and there was possibly a fourth because I left to go call my family and I lost track. All of this lasted about 5 to 7 minutes from the time I saw the first one until the last one disappeared. I know it wasn’t flares because flares don’t move horizontally in the sky and it wasn’t a drone because drones don’t fly that high in the sky. I tried to research to see if there were any rocket tests or anything like that in my area but I couldn’t find anything online. I’m just an average person, I’m not into conspiracy theories or anything like that so I’m not trying to imply anything like it was aliens but it was definitely unexplainable.

We were on our driveway with friends. The year the skull haped Halloween asteroid passed 130k miles from earth. Well, I was talking about aliens knowing of earth possible destruction and how the aliens have been leaving earth. Then we saw 2 blue lights possibly angels instead of ships, but they flew from idyllwild mountain over our heads then they went over the San Jacinto mountain. Circling each other and with no sound. They had to be going 3,000 mph yet had no sounds. We all saw it.

White star-like object moved from SW To E then decended North and shot straight up while changing red.

On Saturday October 4th, at 7:50pm in San Jacinto CA., I went out to have a cigarette with my brother.. We were talking and I noticed a bright white star like object in the South West sky at about 33 degrees above the horizon at about 7:55pm., I saw it start to move thinking it may be a jet.

As we kept watching the object kept moving from the SW to NE. We did not observe any strobe lights, navigation lights or hear any engine noise. We both noticed the object wobble and descend.

Then the object started to come towards our direction still descending. The object stopped then immediately shot up in altitude and the light became red, pink then went out and changed back to red (very small) as it went out of distance in a great climb in altitude.

Bright light craft flew with no sound

At approximately 20:00 hrs on April 7th, 2014 (San Jacinto CA), I was sitting by our front porch having a cigarette and talking with my brother.

I looked at the constellation Orion by chance and then I seen a bright light come from the right side of Orions belt and leg. It just blinked on very bright and travelled West to East.

There were no beacon lights or navigation lights to be seen.

It then took a slight curved path that then went North East.

I noticed a very small vapor trail.

This object gave no sound (piston plane engine or jet noise) that could be heard.

My daughter and I were driving into our neighborhood and I saw 4 square object in a formation of 2 on top and 2 on bottom of each other. Each made up of orange lights...none were flashing. When I went to take a photo 3 had gone into the distance so far I could barely seen them! One was still hovering ...not moving. I got one photo of it before it disappeared...again when I looked down at the camera! The photo I took was not what I saw. The photo shows this bright ball of light but within the light there is a definite outline of some sort of craft. I wish my daughter and I would have grabbed my camera and took video or pics before they left! But we were too busy freaking out.

It was definitely not a plane or helicoptor. There is also nothing there in the area of the sky where it was hovering...no trees or mountains!

On July 5, 2011, around 5:15 pm., I was calibrating my carburetor from my car and my wife was helping me by putting it in gear and holding the brakes.

While my wife was in the car she was looking at the sky and started to see a black sphere and called me to come from in front of the car and to look up, when I looked up I see a black sphere and I'm telling my son to go and get his binoculars and when he came back he said he can't find them so he brought his sister's I-pod touch and I started to take pictures. I then started to take video but I was having trouble seeing the sphere on the I-pod so I pointed the I-pod to were it was the last time I saw it and started to record. We saw the black sphere for about seven to nine minutes it moved sideways, up, down, and would also stay in place for a minute and take off. After it disappeared we heard in the back round military jets going to were the black sphere were. I came inside my house and started to see the pictures and the videos put the screen was to small to see anything so I downloaded it to my computer and started to darken the color of the pictures to see it better and I started to see white spheres on the pictures so I started to see the videos that I took and the same thing the white spheres were there too. Then I converted the three minute video to one hour and twenty minutes and also adjusted the lighting and when I played it back it shocked me and scared me because the white spheres where going in and out of the clouds and some even left a trail when they came out from the clouds. they are different sizes and they are more than thirty or forty spheres and they move so fast and if you go frame by frame you can see them going in and out and some stop and you can see that they are white round spheres. I was in shock how many they are and how fast they move and also how they used the cloud to hide and to me they manipulated the clouds shape so they could move to another place. si! nce that day I feel confused and also have a hard time concent! rating o r focusing on things I feel lost and the more I see the videos the more start to wonder why so many of them? and what were they doing or looking for? I wish I could talk to some one about it but I'm scared I don't want to talk to just anyone. If you would be interested on the videos I have it on my computer and still have the originals on the I-pod and if you would like to get a hold of me write me an E-mail and give me a number were I can call, because I really want to talk to some one who has experience on this type of sightings.

Hovering bright object vanishes petruding flashing light over san jacinto mountains

around 20:00 on 6-12-10, me and my daughter were watching television in the family room. My daughter asked me" dad whats that over there on top of the mountain"? i looked out the window an noticed a bright light hovering above the very peak of the mountain. I have an unobstructed view of the San Jacinto Mountains, Looking out my family room patio doors.

At first,I assumed this object was a plane or helicopter. Unlike a plane or helicopter, it had "no flashing lights". The object hovered in place atop the mountain for 30 seconds and what followed amazed me. After hovering for 30 seconds over the mountain it just disappeared but, when it disappeared it left a flash of light that petruded from the peak of the mountain down on both sides, it was amazing. Its like it petruded visible enery as it vanished.

Orange Light Disappears Above Me

I saw an orange light, that had a candle like glow, move silently across the sky. I was about 1000 feet above my back yard. It was like a light I had never seen before. As it passed overhead, my friend and I both had a feeling it was about to disappear. Suddenly it began to fade away in clear sight. After it was "gone" my friend and I talked about what we saw. We both saw some kind of metallic panel like lines, as if there was a structure within the light as the light faded away above us. This happened on June 27th around 8:40 pm in the San Jacinto mountains of southern California.

Shape changing UFO and ultra florescent light show at dawn.

Me and two co-workers had just got done with a job. Stopped in at his hotel where he was staying. Electricity went out. We went outside and seen whole valley was out. Little boy of his neighbor's said look at that kite in the air. I looked up and saw something with different lights changing shapes. Doing all sorts of turns. Almost looked like a peace symbol at one time.

My friends along with all his neighbors saw this object and watched it for a very good while. It was light yet, it was just starting to go down. This is no lie and no hoax. I was faintly tripped out to see someone filed a report about the same incident. Yet we saw a little more of the beginning.

I have seen plenty in KY where I was raised part of my life. I am a vet as well. Seen my fair share of weird stuff. Things that would make ya go humm. I have a piece of metal stuck in my lower back. I can recall bits and pieces of an encounter when I was seventeen years old. I am thirty years old now. I cannot remember alot of things but if someone is reading this. I just need answers to what it is exactly they want? I have a picture of this thing on my phone. Don't know how to send it email. Date time and everything.

Black pointed Shadow Object Turns out lights and turns electronics off in truck.

Last night 12-10-07 at 20:45 I was driving south bound on Ramona Express way and right before Old Mountain Road, All the lights when out on the west side of me.

Than as soon as I got to Old Mountain Rd. All the lighting in my truck dimmed out the Radio station tuned out and went dead and so did my truck.

Then the lights on the east side of me also went out this was all with in 5 second and it almost looked like a black pointed shadow flew from of Old Mountain Road across Ramona Expressway to the east side of Ramona Express Way, right in front of my truck than disappeared in the huge open field. It almost felt like time stopped because everything around me went black!

I got a really weird feeling and so did my boyfriend, than the lights inside my truck turned back on and all around me the lights started going back on and the radio station started tuning back into the station it was on.

Dark triangular object seen over San Jacinto, CA

The object moved in a straight line from southeast to northwest and about 45 degrees above the horizon. Triangular would be the nearest to the choice of descriptions, but it was more like the shape of a stingray. It was dark, brownish in color, and had a slight glow on the edges. The movement was smooth and silent. This sighting was made as I was observing the sky from my backyard and having just thought I had seen the ISS pass over from the same direction. However, when I checked for the ISS sightings from San Jacinto I found that it had not passed over at that time. This object was similar in description to one I had seen years ago in May 1980 in the area of Shasta, CA. I am a retired teacher.

During soaring flights a great deal of time is spent flying in close proximity with other aircraft, necessitating a continual visual search for other aircraft under the see and be seen discipline. What follows is a brief description and TIF. file of an event over Mt. San Jacinto, CA. Flight origination.: Hemet Ryan Field, CA Aircraft...........: Mini-Nimbus/C Sailplane Chase plane .......: Mooney 210 Conditions ........: Clear w/unlimited visibility



NUFORC Note:

The actual date of the sighting was confirmed from pilot's logs. The correct date was submitted after submittal of the original report. We have amended the date here. PD
