I saw a drone like the ones in New Jersey

I observed what seemed to be a large drone. It passed by my residence and subsequently remained stationary in a particular location until the lights began to gradually dim, eventually turning off while it continued to hover. It appears to still be hovering, and the time is now 10:15 PM PST. The fog has thickened, making visibility difficult.

Location: San Miguel, CA, USA
Location details: In the sky over the hills east of Camp Roberts

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Object observed flying southwest to northeast over the sky, resembling a shooting star, then making unreasonable movements.

On Sunday, May 1st, 2022, at approximately 0410 hours, while conducting training with the California Army National Guard out of Camp Roberts California, a fellow guardsman and I observed an unidentified object making incredible movements in the sky.

At approximately 0410 hours, a fellow guardsman and I were conducting pre-checks for our trucks(HMMWV). I looked up at the night sky to observe the stars while waiting for the ignition wait light in the truck to turn off. When I looked up, I saw what appeared to be a shooting star flying from southwest to northeast. The object was moving VERY fast and pulsed moderately. It appeared bright with a white color, and at a distance far enough away to not have a distinct shape, only appearing as a dot in the sky. I then stated to my partner standing next to me, "Look, a shooting star," to which he stopped and looked up toward the object.

The object then crossed into what would be the northeast portion of the sky, slightly dimmed, and without slowing made an immediate change of direction westward. The object regained it's original luminosity immediately after the change in direction, traveled for no longer than half a second at the same speed in the westward direction, and then again changed direction northbound. This second change in direction was the same at the first without the object dimming before the change in direction. After the northbound change in direction, the object continued north until it appeared to dime and ultimately faded out of our visual range, though again did not change color while dimming.

The changes in direction were in the literal sense immediate. There was no curve in its path. The change in direction was akin to a pool ball striking the side of a pool table and bouncing off into a new direction.

The entire sighting lasted no more than 5 seconds. Once the object fade away, both my partner and I confirmed with each other what we had observed. The skies were clear, dark, and had no ambient light pollution where we where located.

Pilll shaped object (vibrating)

While traveling on the cabrillo highway southbound towards the 46 I saw this pill or football shaped object over the ocean maybe 3 football fields away. the object was going roughly 55 mph as the object was matching our vehicles speed. The strange thing about this object is that the object was sort of vibrating or moving back and forth really fast at the same time the object was traveling south.

Took place in under a second, drone-like, traveling potentially 100-300 mph, extremely bright, covered in lights.

Event took place in under 1 second. I was the only witness. Can't confirm this was a UFO, but not sure what else it could be. The best explanation I can describe is this: Walking down a street on Cal Poly State University, took a right into a courtyard/grassy area between the Math/Science buildings, and almost immediately I saw what looked like a large drone (although couldn't tell what size or how far away it was), completely covered in bright, LED-like lights traveling at an insane speed (maybe 100-300 mph?), and within split seconds it vanished/faded away. I had no drugs in my system, had sufficient sleep the night before, and I cannot imagine this was simply a hallucination. I can't imagine this is simply a drone because what would explain the insane speed, vanishing, and no one else in sight? It was 6:35 PM and completely dark outside. The only other thing I could think of was maybe I looked at a streetlight for too long and it took a second for ! my eyes to adjust to the dark again, but I tried experimenting with this after the fact without any success.

I was watching a video outside and my dog was barking and I could hear a helicopter close and when I looked up I saw what I thought was irregular aircraft light however it was flashing like it was made of fire it was moving across the sky slowly and then it let out a small red flashing light that slowly followed behind it and then stopped in the air the original fire-lite proceeded to what appears to be leaving the atmosphere out into space then eventually the red light stop flashing and disappeared all the while a closed helicopter was hovering with no lights I never saw the helicopter but the second original flashing light is dim out of sight there were several series of rumbles the helicopter with no lights hovered around for another 30 seconds and then slowly left in the opposite direction does the original light had left that in the sphere in. this is the second time that I've seen a glowing flashing light leaves behind red flashing lights and then leave! it's as if something's being dropped off.

Two round bright lights right next to each other, clear night so they stood out against the stars, they looks like headlights in the sky

Me and my boyfriend were driving home and I looked in the sky there were 2 bright lights against the clear starry black sky, it literally looked like a cars headlights in the sky. Two round bright lights right next to each other brighter than all the satrs around. I asked my boyfriend if he saw them too and he did.

You have to think I live basically on a mountain and we were in the valley before my home about to drive up the mountain, these lights were up way higher than any of the trees on the top near my house.

Once we get to the top it's all fields and trees, we looked around the sky everywhere and by now the lights should have been right above us from where we first saw them a mere 4 minutes before, and they were gone, just disappeared without a trace .

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Emitted beams

A very bright beam of blue light cut across the night sky. The origin was a small circular object, as if far away, but the beam of blue light was very bright and very thin. The area of the sky at termination side of the beam glowed an eerie green, like foggy northern lights. The glowing foggy area of the sky continued to glow for 15 minutes until it gradually faded. The object in the sky moved far away, the beam stopped, and other smaller faint beams could be seen. I thought maybe it was a rocket taking off from the nearby Vandenberg AFB, but I checked their schedule and no launch. (They launch Atlas rockets a few times a year). I've seen many such launches and this was very different. And this was silent. No noise. Just a bright sharp beam of light that sliced the sky and made a large area of the sky glow green, even after the beam left. Two of us saw it. We tried to photograph but the contrast did not show up on an iPhone. Very strange. We drov! e a miles and still saw it, indicating it was far.

White funnel shape light with giant blueish white tail and bright white head!





It’s 6pm Saturday November 7, 2015 in rural Templeton, CA. I arrived home and stopped at the bottom of my driveway to manually put my truck in 4 wheel drive so I can drive up to the house without spinning my tires on the dirt driveway.

Just as I locked the hubs on my front wheels I noticed a very bright light above the home across the road from me. It looked like a huge comet with a large blueish tail and a huge funnel shape fan head with a bright light at the apex. It was traveling from the southeast toward the west. The widest side of the funnel took up about 20 degrees of sky which was as wide as my hand held at arm’s length with fingers up. It was traveling parallel to the horizon.

By the time I reached the top of the driveway and called my wife to come and look, the lights had faded and the bright point of light in front had vanished, however the tail was still glowing blueish white but seemed out of focus and was fading away. The entire incident took about 10 minutes and the tail remained for about another 5 or so. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

Large white object with trailing fire.

We were driving south on the 101 at the top of the grade at spotted a large white object with fire trailing behind it. Object appeared to make a right angle turn away from us. The fire stopped. We lost sight. The object was descending at a shallow angle when it turned.





((ADDENDUM FROM A SECOND WITNESS, LOCATED NEAR VENTURA, CA))

We saw a fireball driving home from Utah last night that matched this very closely at the exact same time - 7PM. We were on Hwy 126 about 10 miles east of Ventura when I saw a white fireball streak across the sky in front of the car slightly to our left. That would have put it to the South of us toward Oxnard, likely out over the ocean.

It was traveling left to right, meaning it was heading pretty much due South. It seemed to turn slightly green and left a long trail behind it. It was low in the sky, I'd estimate 10 degrees, was obscured by some trees, then reappeared on the other side of them, then we lost sight of it. I'd estimate we saw it for 5 seconds.

Since in the report below they were looking south I think this was the same object. I however did not see it make any turn (although we lost sight of it at the end) and assumed it was a very large close meteor.

Buzzing triangle aircraft.

Standing outside in the afternoon when I heard a buzzing. I work at a military base and know what the electric UNmanned aerial vehicles sound like- a high pitched buzzing.

Saw the triangle craft fly low and slowly overhead maybe under 500 feet altitude. Flew slowly along well established flight line from east to west. It was a rounded edged triangles the same shape as the TR-3B (Google it), though without the central light.

What I saw looked like a small duty aircraft in similar shape as the Boeing X-48- it even sounded similar thought it's underbelly was white and grey. It had lights like a normal aircraft.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy but I know what I saw. Perhaps it was an RC remote controlled craft. Please post of you saw something similar in the vicinity.

My dog was out with me but had no abnormal response.

Thank you

The red light and the portal.

My wife and I were driving home from San Francisco CA to Los Osos, CA, we were just about to pass by San Miguel when we both saw a light in the sky. It was a craft that was sort of triangle shaped. First there was two lights one red and one white, then the red light vanished and the white followed. I suggested that it might have been a plane, although the lights were not flashing. Then my wife saw a plane about a minute later, she saw something that freaked her out. What she explained to me was that of a oval shaped light near the area in the sky where the plane was, she said that the light expanded 10 times its original size then disappeared very quickly. I'd like to think that it was a portal that the light/craft went through. But who knows?

Disc-shaped, possibly metallic, seemingly light-reflecting, object seen in photograph, but didn't notice it when I took the picture.

Hi Peter. I've heard you on Coast to Coast AM over the years.

I took this photograph 4 days ago -- May 28, 2013. I was taking photographs in a university botanical garden. See the object in the sky? I didn't see it when I took the picture. I just saw it a few minutes ago when I uploaded photos (including this one) from my iPhone to my computer.

It could be anything, but I'm emailing you because it doesn't appear to be a bird. Rather, it appears to be disc-shaped and possibly metallic, because it looks like it is reflecting light.

I don't have the equipment to blow-up the photograph and otherwise make a determination as to whether this is a natural or artificial object in the sky. Hopefully you do.

This photograph is looking east, and maybe a tad north. I'm emailing you at your [email protected] address with the photograph. I'd be interested to hear back from you if/when you use whatever means at your disposal to enlarge the image and determine what it i! s.

Thanks.

While standing on my balcony at approximately 8pm, I witnessed a huge rectangle moving very quickly in the sky in a north-northwest direction. The rectangle had no lights but appeared to be visible by the light of the moon which was to the south of the rectangle. The object appeared suddenly and travelled at a faster speed than any aircraft I have ever seen. From my vantage point, the rectangle appeared flat and crossed my viewpoint in just a few seconds. It was many many times larger than an aircraft.

fireball SSW of San Miguel, California

the time wa between 2116 and 2122 PST on 27 October 2009. I was driving on 10th street heading south right at the camp roberts boarder. I saw a redish orange firey ball standing in the sky about 40 degrees westwardly off the road (SSW), and an elevation about 25d. It seemed to hover there for the duration of the time, not moving closer or backward and not adjusting in intensity. It was twice as bright as Venus and a little larger. I could trace a straight line between venus and the brightest star in the sky pointing to it with equa-distant intervles (probably no help). I took a few quick snap shots with my camera, brief video, and test a friend in the town south of me to try and get a tringulation of the thing; while I smoked my ciggorette. My friend didn't get out to see it fast enough. After I jumped back in my car it was gone. I have watched a bunch of rocket launches from Vandenburg AFB (this was brighter, and didn't move). And I am in the sate! llite communications field (not a satellite).

I have been an airplane and UFO fanatic sense I was a kid, and Have actually begun to get my piolets license with pigs can fly. One of my hobbys is stargasing (so was my dads) so I'm farmiliar with some of the random sights that people claim to be UFOs. I could not explain what I saw and would like to get the info e-mail to me if anyone else saw it. Thank you

a star that turned 10 times its size, got dim again, and then black, over and over , moving by perfumo canyon

Last evening my friends and I were haning out by the mobile homes recreational pool, outdoors, with our feet in the jacuzzi. I always look around slo's sky because I know and believe because I have seen with my own eyes, unidentified flying objects in this area, and the sky was so clear i could see the stars all the way down to the horizon by the perfumo canyon hills. I was watching the skies and I pointed out the planet jupiter,i might be wrong though, to my two friends, and they were enjoying the pretty night sky. A star "star?" suddenly appeared to become very very very bright and then move to the right, and then dim down, and turn black. It dissapeared for approximately a few seconds and then reappeared more to the right, which makes me think, maybe there was a string of lights attatched at somewhere, but who knows. This object didn't have the appearance of anything but a star at times, but then would become 10 times its own size and yellowy bright, and then shrink down to the size of the stars around it, and turn black again. Whenever I have a sighting I make sure whoever is around is watching it with me, I still have a problem believing my own eyes, even after witnessing these things(but not the same shapes and colors)on various accounts..and my friends usually come to me for answers but I don't have an answer for this one. One of my friends mentioned, maybe its government top secret stuff, but why would they throw a huge light on it unless they were trying to make it disinformation...? WHO KNOWS!!!It kept moving every time it turned black, somehow, reappearing and moving north, from the south west.I believe we stood around for maybe a little under ten minutes, but my knees started shaking and my eyes were watering, and I can freak out pretty fast if I'm not expecting a creepy night, so we decided to get some rum and sit inside like normal old folks in this mobile community.-I'd also like to mention, there were many many aircraft(helicopters) in our small airspace, and after a whi! le the s ky became completely covered in dark high up fog!?what for?

Bright white cylindrical object near Hollister Peak in San Luis Obispo County, California on June 10, 2008.

I was driving northbound on Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay, California at approximately 8:55 on June 10, 2008. I was just coming up on Hollister Peak to the left side of the freeway. A single cylindrical bright white object flew at an extremely high speed from one side of the mountain (closest to the road) to the opposite side. It then went straight up then shifted trajectory 180 degrees towards the ground. Then it disappeared completely. This occurred in less than 5 seconds.

Bishop's peak visitor?

This was a strange, scary evening.

My friend and I were driving up foothill from los osos valley road, to go get frozen yogurt late at night. We were on our way back down foothill after getting the yogurt and I looked up at Bishop's Peak mountain. It was approximately ten p.m. and a quarter the way up from the top was a round formation of bluish white lights.

Some of these lights were very dim and some got brighter and dimmer and dissapeared. It looked as though they were all connected somehow, and I freaked out and told my friend to pull over somewhere.

We got into a parking lot and parked under a tree, and then both got out of the car. We walked up to a fence and stood there looking very carefully at these lights and we noticed the lights had moved to the top of the mountain. I believe it was aware we had our eyes on it, and my legs started shaking uncontrollably, and my eyes watered.

My friend and I were gripping eachothers arm asking if what we were seeing was a ufo. I waved at the lights, and two lights got very bright, within the string of lights.

My friend didn't want to stay very long, and he was having a hard time believing what he was seeing. I threw down my yogurt and we ran into his car, and drove back to our friends house.

I noticed my cell phone died, even though it was fully charged. So I called my best friend, who has seen a ufo in los osos with me before, and I picked her up from her house, about 5 minutes away and drove back to the mountain, and parked in the same place my other friend and I were.

The object was not on the top any more, but it was more to the right of the mountain, again, a quarter the way down from the top. This mountain has lots of big boulders on the top, so I dont know if it was hovering or if it was landed somehow, the darkness made it only possible for us to see anywhere between 3-10 or so lights.

As I said, the lights continually changed their brightness, and this object moved VERY very different to anything I've seen. It seemed like it was a row! of lights at some times, and other times it was round.

When it moved it spread the lights out and then they got closer together as it slowed. Almost snake-like.

I didn't post the sighting right after it happened because I myself, never ever expected to see anything of this nature so close to home, let alone right in front of me and two other witnesses.

((Deleted))

I'm going to find a picture of Bishops peak and use my paint program to illustrate what i saw.

disk with red and blue lights, wobbly, rubbery appearance in movement

Three of us were in a car driving at 11pm. There were low clouds. We looked up into the sky and saw an object that seemed to be roundish, but it had a rubbery quality to it, as if you would take a dinner plate and wobble it. The object had red and blue lights, and I seem to recall seeing yellow at one point. The object hovered. When our car turned I tried to find the object again, and could not see it. It was hard to tell how close it was to us, or how large it was, but from our perspective it did not seem to be very large. It was not a helicopter or anything we’d ever seen before.

Round, white, slow moving object seen in San Luis Obispo California

The sighting happened during the recent eclipse of the moon. I was watching the red moon, and at 4:34am I saw an object moving from the north-west toward the east. It traveled in an arcing motion across the sky. The object had no lights, and from the bottom it reflected light from the city. It was a light grey or white in color. It looked to be round in shape, though hard to tell from the distance and limited light. The object created no sound what so ever, and it was very quite at this time of the morning. The sighting only lasted for about 4 to 5 seconds, until it traveled out of view. In my best estimation, the craft was 2000-5000 feet above, and was traveling, i would say approximatly 200-300mph. I dont know how large it was but i estimated it would be larger than the largest aircraft made. Did anyone else see this object?

Bright Orange Glowing Oval Shaped craft over templeton

After 20 some odd years of looking up, I have finally seen a ufo! Last night at around midnight I saw it outside my window. It scared the bejesus out of me, and I walked to my room and put the covers over my head. I'm so disappointed in myself. I wish I would have gone out to investigate. It was BRIGHT orange and it lit up the sky as it traveled. First I saw it behind the trees and then it ascended upward over the roof of my house so I couldnt see it anymore. I got a cold chill looking at it. I'm such a wuss!

Object slowly moved cross the sky and exploded into three objects.

At sunrise on April 7th my wife and I were camping in the Carizzo Plains NM and as the beautiful sunrise was occuring right above us was a light similiar to Jupiter, but clearly it was not a planet, because it was so off the zenith.

We kept watching it as we also looked at the sunrise. The sunrise was just begining and Jupiter was to the west. I looked back at it in a minute and saw a moving star next to it. I showed that to my wife who observed that the star was moving erractally northwest.

We observed this for a minute and continued to watch the sunrise. I then took my binoculars and looked at it. It was circular and had a faint line that zigzaged through the middle and down to the left.

Keeping my attention on both the sunrise and the object we now noticed that this object was moving and not the star. It was moving towards the sunrise and moved probably 25 degrees through the sky. After 10 minutes I glanced away and looked to the east, but when I looked back it was gone! I was shocked and both my wife and I scearched the sky for it.

I took my binoculars and saw a darkish spot and we both observed three sparkling pieces of the object as it looked as it blew up. The three smaller sparkling objects slowly faded out. And that was it.

3 lights flash less than seconds apart in a row to the right - with a "fading" effect.

My mother and I were taking our usual evening walk and saw a large whitish/yellowish flash of light high up in the night sky and then 2 more flashes a little smaller in size followed one after another less than a second in time apart to the right. Duration of flash was short but had a sort of "fading" effect.

Our bedroom faces a wooded area.

Awakening from sleep, I noticed a white pulsating light through the blinds on our windows. I woke up my wife, and she noticed ,too. The light filled the whole window and appeared to be from overhead, but I can't be sure.

The weird part was it went from bright to dim slowly, like someone going back and forth with a fader switch. By the time I was awake enough to investigate, it disappeared.

Object was flying low on the horizon, observed coming from the north in the western sky. It came from behind a hill, moving slowly, then sped up and disappeared from sight.

I was living out on a 650 acre cattle ranch & taking my puppy out to potty when I looked up I saw a red circular light that looked like a shooting star falling down. It was dropping down but then stopped & appeared to go back up & drop down again. I didn't put too much thought into it & didn't want to be up all night frightened as I was there all alone.

Characteristics: Possible abduction, Missing Time

Extraterrestrial being in Camp San Luis Obisbo.

On camp San Luis Obisbo, a military base, I was awoke by a small non human giving me what seemed like a medical exam. First I felt tapping hard on my legs and as the being approached my face I fully awakened to one being on my right doing the exam and another at the foot of my bed watching.

As I assessed what was happening I tried to scream but had no voice. At that moment the figure at the base of my bed that was approximatly 3 and a half feet tall with a hood and helmet like face cover with no seems or colour to his uniform began to fade and become translucent then disappeared.

I believe I was either being returned from an abduction or about to be abducted when I awoke. I gained control of my voice after the being disappeared.

I told my roommate, who shared the dorm room, and he believed me and we walked around my dorm room waving our arms around expecting to hit the being while it was invisible. We never found the being. But my roommate saw a being in the room a different night, but I was not in our dorm for that event.

I never believed in extraterrestrials until I saw the beings my self.

Oval/egg shaped metalic craft hovered 3am over San Luis Obispo, then accelerating South at blinding speed.

My wife, a Registered Nurse, stayed up late one night last year, in our home on a ranch located on top of a hill that gave her a clear unobstructerd view towards the city of San Luis Obispo and beyond. She told me the next morning that she observed a metallic looking object that was oval or egg shaped hovering low over the city. The object appeared to "sense" that it was being observed, because it suddenly accelerated at fantastic speed in a Southern direction, disappearing from sight within a few short seconds (Much too fast for any normal aircraft). The object was approx. 6 to 8 miles away. The night was clear and illuminated by city lights.

Object was flying low on horizon in SSE direction. Object was just above the ground fog. Bright light, followed by blue/red lights.

I noticed the object to my left, I was driving south on US 101 and the object was on the Eastern horizon, but appeared very close. It lasted only about 30 seconds. It was strange because it was flying very low to the horizon, just above the ground fog. I thought of a missile launch from Vandenberg AFB, but the object was travelling SSE and most launches from VAFB travel WSW toward the Marshall Islands. I mentioned this when I got to work, but no one else appeared to have seen it until someone spoke up during our staff meeting. He was traveling East on Hwy 46 and the object appeared toward the south, out his right window, also travelling in a SSE direction. He checked the time at 06:43.

It made a 90 degree turn at a high rate of speed, and disappeared through the atmosphere.

It was a perfectly blue sky, no clouds in sight. A friend and I were looking in a northwest direction above the horizon, when we noticed a very fast moving object heading north along the coast. It was too far away to describe a shape, but appeared to leave a white tail. As it was gaining in altitude, after traveling 5 or 10 miles, it suddenly made a 90 degree turn (I mean, a complete left angle)heading upward in a west direction and quickly disappeared through the atmosphere. There was no sound. It was incredibly fast and quiet!
