Viewed From: Land
Angle of Elevation: 90
Closest Distance: 40 to 30 away from the vehicle
Estimated Speed: Not that fast, but it’s movements were abnormal.
Characteristics: Lights on object

It seemed to be shaped like a boomerang, with two balls at the end which had lights and moved very advanced, rolling chair legs. Flat

The sunroof of the car was open so I was able to see through it clearly, that’s when a large object began to float its way over all of the cars waiting on the red light to change. I could clearly see a boomerang like shape and almost like two balls on the end of them. Each one had a speck of light coming out from the middle of the ball which created a dot, once over head it looked much brighter but once it kept going the lights almost seemed to follow where the cars were at and not stay at the bottom. It also looked like a more fuller type of boomerang shape, and wasn’t a deep V like shape.

It was around three pm and my wife called me to look up. This UFO was chasing a commercial airliner. It was going the same speed right behind the the plane. It was black and was tumbling as it chased the plane. There was also a yellow/greenish glow around the UFO. We are only ten miles away from San Francisco.

Bright blue flash lit up sky, yard, whole back meadow, giant eucalyptus and oaks like it was daytime, but silent.

bright blue flash of light in northern and western sky like very nearby lightning but no sound except crazy loud wind gust. Conditions are partly cloudy, bright stars, showers, windy. I have seen a lifetime of midwest lightning displays, never saw this bright blue color or that intense of a flash with no loud crack right behind. Our dogs are not afraid of thunder, wind or lightning, but they ran back to door to be let in and were nervous.

Saw a light coming out of cloud I thought was a helicopter with spot light behind a cloud. Then as it passed it was just a bright ball then as it went into the sky it looked like an eclipse as it moved away it ascended in a path from East to west at a seep incline. I was yelling for my 2 friends who were inside they did not respond until the object was past but we're clearly able to see it on the ascent when it looked like an eclipse. It also left a mark that looked liked when you blow thru smoke. There was no sound.

Extremely high, hovering object blinking various colors with red light on top seen from San Pablo

When my boyfriend and I arrived at our friend's house yesterday, he immediately told us he wanted to know he was not crazy and showed us what he had been looking at for some time. He pointed to something that was very distant like a star, quickly flashing red/blue/green/white or yellow. The object was extremely bright, and we could tell it was emitting a great amount of light because it had a sort of glow. It was so far up that I thought it was a star “twinkling” from disturbances in our atmosphere until I noticed the red light was at the very top blinking slightly slower than the other colors which were quickly flashing. I thought it was almost pyramid or disk shaped, but it was so far that the lights almost appeared as one.

He then proceeded to tell us it could not be a plane because it had been in the same position for 35 minutes. My friend also asked us if it could be a satellite, but it had no constant or regular movement pattern thus we concluded it wa! s not. We continued to stare at it and, using a street lamp as reference, I noticed it move slightly left. This movement was very minute. If there were another star directly to the left of it with almost no space between, that would be where the craft had moved. My boyfriend and friend were not paying attention when this happened and they did not believe me.

We then noticed that it became very dim, and began thinking it was an airplane all along, but soon enough, the lights grew bright extremely bright then went to the same brightness it was from the beginning. A few minutes later, using the street lamp to see if any movement had occurred while we were talking, my boyfriend showed us the object was now directly above the lamp and moving to the right of it. Another friend who lived in the house came out and we showed him. He said he thought it was a helicopter. We argued it wasn’t because it was so high in the sky and had barely moved. During the time staring at it, we saw a helicopter and a plane pass over the sky. They were much lowe! r. As mo re friends came over throughout the night, we showed them, and none of them had an explanation. The object appeared to be over Concord. Our ages range from 19 to 25, three of us have taken astronomy classes and have experience with observing the night sky.

No of observers: 2

Location: San Pablo Bay (on Napa River), CA, USA

Shape: Egg


spaceship like craft or object seen in the area of the sloughs off of the napa river and San Pablo Bay.

While fishing in the sloughs near the Napa river, my brother and I observed a craft sitting in an old salt water pond about a quarter of a mile away from us. It was in the shape of our capital buildind excluding the top portion. It stood aproximately seventy feet high and approximately fifty feet wide. We noticed five beams aproximately two feet wide protuding out aproximately three feet from tho top to the bottom. The main body color was off white. The beams or legs had some red, grey and light blue with no other colors noticed. We were not able to see the bottom of this craft as the bottom was hidden from view by the levi. I know the sloughs very well as I have fished there for over thirty five years. I am positive that there has never been such a craft or structure even close to being similar in the entire area of the sloughs and I have never seen anything similar in apperance in my entire life of fifty seven years except maby in a fiction movie.

After listening to some talk shows on coast to coast am I thought I would report this in hopes of hearing that others may have seen the same object or craft.




NUFORC Note:

We have encouraged the witness to return to the area, in order to look for evidence of the object's presence. PD

Many star like objects fly in formation then blink out as they fly toward coast

It was a clear night. I was going next door to give my girl friend the phone. A helicopter seemed to be flying out of the area when I looked east over the hill and I saw what looked like three bright lights forming a triangle directly above the hill. The lights were bright and they seemed to be rising in the sky.

I called people from inside my house and next door to come look, that is when one after another the lights began to break off and fly west towards the coast. Once they fly over the population it seemed the lights went out and red and blue lights replaced them with white flashing ones. They were able to stop on a dime and change direction and made no noise and we hear helicopters and planes just fine.

After three of the lights did this then hovered lingered and crossed over and under one another out at the coast, three more came over the hill. This continued for almost an hour. I have no idea what I saw, I know that where I live does not have nearly as much air traffic as was going on that night. We got some video but it was taken with a shaken hand. After all the lights flew out to the coast that was the end of the night’s excitement. I did not have any binoculars only a Sony cybershot camera.

Incredibly pure white, bright light, hanging motionless, low in southern sky just after sunset Sept. 22nd 2007.

On Sept. 22, 2007 at approx. 7:15pm we noticed a very bright light low in the southern sky while walking to our car after diner in San Pablo, Colorado. This bright object appeared to be due south at about 12-15 degrees above the horizon. The bright object was bigger and brighter than any planet I’ve ever scene. It was 3 to 4 times bigger than Venus and incredibly bright. I convinced myself it was a plane coming directly toward us, just high enough to be reflecting the bright light of sunset.

As this pure white, bright circle of light grew slightly in circumference and brightness, I thought this must be one huge plane and it’s getting really close, I almost wanted to duck down but there never were any plane sounds. Without binoculars, all I had to help aid in viewing was prescription sunglasses. I got in the car to get my glasses and when I stood up again the bright object seemed to be back where I first saw it. I’m guessing that would have been south of Taos, NM.

O.K. that was odd, but the real shocker came when I put on my prescription sunglasses – the brightness was dimmed and I could see 3 distinct yellowish/gold lights - the one middle front light being slightly bigger than the 2 side lights. There seemed to be some energy or filament connecting or flowing between the center light and the side lights. I thought, “That ain’t right,” and pulled the sunglasses off my face and there I saw the pure white, bright light again. What? How can this be? I kept taking my sunglasses off and putting them back on again trying to reconcile the two different things I was seeing - a round pure white and very bright light without my sunglasses and with them on seeing 3 separate yellow/gold lights with something blurry between them.

In the moment, I convinced myself this was Jupiter and a couple of moons and accounted for the blurriness by remembering I was looking through sunglasses not binoculars, and of course the reflecting light of sunset must be causing the brightness.

We stood in amazement and watched the big waxing gibbous moon move along the path of the ecliptic in the southeast while our bright object appeared motionless in the south until our view was obstructed by clouds at approx. 7:45pm.

Since Sat. Sept. 22nd I’ve researched star charts and found that this bright light could not possibly have been Jupiter, as that planet was in the SSW, on the ecliptic at 26 degrees during the time our object was sighted due south at approx. 12 degrees.

bright moon sized object appeared to be over hills in Marin county as seen from Contra Costa County, Ca

I was setting at my computer at approximately 2:45 am. The only light on in the house was in the room I was in, a ceiling light. The window above my desk faces west and I often look up at the window. The view includes the hills in Marin County as seen from near San Pablo bay in Contra Costa County. I looked up and saw what appeared to be a golden harvest moon, it gave off enough light to see the hills below it. My impression was that it was the moon, but there was something off about it. I commented in an IM that there was either a beautiful full moon or a UFO outside of my window. It probably took me less than 30 seconds to type that and when I looked up again it was gone. I went outside and the sky was clear with stars clearly visable but I could not see the moon from my yard. The object was moon sized but it didn't have the "face" in the moon, was more yellow than golden and seemed sort of speckled. There are no street lights visible from my window and nothing in the house that could have been reflecting. I don't know what this was but it was very strange.
