I see this bright light. That's not a star. And when I look at it through my binoculars, it looks like a puffer fish.

I've noticed this bright weird orb in the sky off and on for the last month. When I look st it through my binoculars, it seems to be alive. It's definitely not a star or a drone or an airplane or helicopter. It's something I've never seen before. It looks like a puffer fish and it moves in the sky at night.

Three separate fast moving objects left a trail behind them from 22,000 to about 5,000 feet and began to group together

Taking the trash out and heard jets and saw two F35’s bugging out heading NW at about 1000 foot altitude. Looked around the sky and I didn’t see anything so I went inside and checked my seven cameras I have set up to record the sky. I had to zoom in on my DVR video display to see the three objects they were about seven miles from me and about 20,000 up. So I caught three objects in the clouds about 7 miles from me, they entered my camera 1 view in the clouds and came into view somewhat horizontally but at about a 15 degree angle traveling through and then just below the clouds traveling about 20-25,000mph and taking separate paths and began descending at a greater angle and joining together afterwards at 3500-7000 feet and about a 50 mile distance. The two F35’s were heading North West at high speed they had their afterburners on I saw the smoke, towards their location. The Three objects entered with separate paths miles apart and they were leaving a trail! . Their individual paths changed like they turned then moved towards each other and they all seem to come together or form up together purposely. I estimated the miles, speeds and elevations. raw video available and I caught video on three cameras

Fire trail falling through the sky

It looks like something fell through our atmosphere. There was a thick red-orange trail with an object it the front. It only lasted a second or two then the whole thing just disappeared. Maybe it burned up? I saw the object while facing east maybe a little southeast. Meteor? Satelite? Were we expecting anything?

In the air and over 300 foot large, a burnt-orange/brown color which appeared to be feathers painted on the exterior object.

I was going to use my telescope, but first I went outside to scout it out with my 7x35 binoculars, looking for a certain star and locate the asteroid Pallas at 9:30 PM June 28th 2019 looking East and up about 45 degrees. Caught sight of very large object over 300 feet which filled my FOV (300 feet @ 1000 yards). Object was a strange color burnt-orange/brown and looked like bird feathers painted on the outside. I saw what looked like two square panels which were also painted and attached to the exterior. It was to large to be a bird and I did not see the whole object because I locked on it at first not moving and then suddenly as I took the binoculars away from my eyes to look for it because I thought it was so large I should be able to see it, but I couldn’t see it. I tried to find it again with the binoculars but to no avail. Maybe it was cloaked and only with binoculars can you see it? I’m an astronomer, chemist, engineering technician, computer professiona! l, bird watcher and first responder and I deal with facts. I never saw anything like that and I was not able to ID it. It made no noise had no lights and was very large and right there in the air right above me.

Santee, Ca A Hugh silent craft without lights was stationary in the sky above my home and was painted like a bird. 6/28/2019 9PM

On June 28, 2019 approximately 9 PM I went outside as usual to look at the night sky and see if it was clear enough to bring out the telescope and ended up seeing something which “I did not know what it was” and it frightened me enough that I ran back inside.

For less than a minute I saw up in the sky the painted surface of something which was stationary and silent, above me at about 45 degree angle from the horizon while using my binoculars.

I didn’t see the entire object but what I saw was unusually large, I guessed the part I saw was over 300 feet wide and very tall maybe 150 feet because it filled my field of view, it had no lights, silent and the surface was painted like a bird, it had burnt-orange-brown colored feathers “painted” on the hull. I saw some detail on the surface, an outline of two rectangles intersecting on the surface of the craft which looked like hatches or access panels. I dropped the binoculars from my eyes and looked and could not see it. I made a half ass attempt to locate it again with the binoculars but no luck, I was frightened and I wanted to go back inside quickly away from it. I don’t know what it was. I don’t think we can make a craft like that yet though. I believe my binoculars helped see past the cloaking they were using, it is the only explanation as to why I couldn’t see it when not looking through the binoculars. It was huge and cloaked and real.

I saw a black mass float on past me then blooming lights turned on me for about 10-15 seconds.

It was 8:52pm and I saw a fighter jet going NW over my house. Then looking up I saw a black mass moving overhead where the fighter jet was exactly. Then looking up I saw at least 100 yards of blooming lights turned on me for 10-15 seconds. I waited until the lights went off and then grabbed my phone in my pocket. I started filming the black mass and I was able to catch multiple moving lights on this black mass. It was individual small white moving lights. It even had a point where something looks like it comes out of the craft then goes back in that was purple and green. It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe I caught footage of this UFO. The lights shined on me were so bright and blooming. It was unreal. I was in a daze when the lights hit me and froze me in place momentarily. There was a small rumblings noise associated with the object.

Spherical light seen over Santee from the Summerton side of Lake Marion by the I-95 bridge.

Saw a strange light hovering across lake marion from the summerton side by the I-95 bridge. I was outside on my porch smoking. I didn't have my glasses on but as I looked out across the lake I noticed an odd bright white light. I stepped inside to get my glasses so I could get a better look and sure enough it was a bright light that appeared to move just a little and I could see a faint red light every now and then.

I watched it for about 5 minutes then had my wife come out and look at it. She mentioned it moving before I did, even though I thought it was moving before she came out. I have no idea how far away it was but it must have been quite a ways away. It was a cloudy night and no other stars were visible on that side of the lake.

Also, it didn't appear to be high enough in the sky to have been a star. I thought at first it may have been an aircraft heading toward the charleston airport or the air force base in Charleston, but it never moved.

I worked on F-16's for 10 years in the active duty USAF and know it def wan't an aircraft as it never moved across the sky. It would oscillate every now and then, but randomly. I have no idea what it was. I was out smoking again tonight 2/6/2018 and looked in that direction and there's nothing there today. Don't know how long it was there, but it def wasn't an aircraft.

Large triangle ship with 3 white lights and flashing orange light, flew very low overhead with no sound.

I was driving down Highway 6 from Santee towards Eutawville and saw 3 very bright lights side by side just over the tree line.

I pulled over once it got close to the road and a dark, very large triangle ship flew directly overhead. From the bottom there were 3 white lights (one in each corner) and a flashing orange light by the front.

It moved extremely slow and made no noise.

I got some video from inside my car and jumped out when it was overhead and got a minute or so more solid video.

I, along with two women observed in the early west night sky (6PM), an object that appeared to be an aircraft (10,000ft. Elv.?). At first it appeared to be flying towards us head on (with its bright headlight on). It appeared to be pulling something (a banner) Or a large vapor trail? There was no sound nor flashing red/green or strob lights. Then the aircraft discharged something that grew very bright white and defused light. The bright defused light resembled a bright light shining through a mist/fog. It was a clear night. Associated with this bright light was a blue misty light. After a few minutes (2-3 min.), we could observe the aircraft continuing to travel northward, but, reduced in size/brightness of that of the planet Mars (no flashing red nor green lights). The aircraft was flying from south to north in the night sky. There is a small commercial airport (Galespie Field) in the city of El Cajon. about three miles south of the observed sighti! ng location. I, nor the two woman observers have never seen anything like this before. I wish send three photos of what the object looked like. I will also send a video rap up of the event. I will title it Santee, CA UFO sighting.

Blobs of fire falling from sky.

After visiting with friends on the Barona Rez followed by a visit to the casino, my friend and I headed for home around 5:30 am. While I drove through Santee, (52 freeway headed west ), I noticed what looked like liquid fire hanging from what appeared to be a stationary light, (looked like a star only this was not that high off the ground).

I grabbed my friends arm made sure she saw it too. (We couldn't come up with anything to explain what we were seeing) There was a light in the sky, not moving, and hanging off of that light was a large drop of fire (if that makes any sense). It stretched until it broke free and then fell towards the ground.

Then more fire replaced that fire but this time in much smaller drops that fell quicker and in groups as well as by themselves. It was so weird.

As I got onto the 125 I was facing the action again for a brief moment and even though I figured it was over I not only saw more fire falling from that light, I also now saw! fire globs dropping off of nothing. At least I couldn't see the fire attached to any light or any other object.....probably the weirdest and most undeniable strange event I have ever witnessed.

We saw the event up close and for a relatively long time-in other words there is no way I am mistaken about what I saw....no mind playing tricks on me or optical illusions either.

This occurred early this morning in Santee, Ca, where I was fortunate enough to be able to witness a good portion of it as it happened. I know that many others had to have seen this as well.

I believe the emerald green fireball object was space junk that originally was from a launched in a North/South polar orbit.

While driving home from Santee, CA, heading South on HWY.125 (about one mile South of the Intersection of Mission Gorge Rd. & HWY.125, I saw a falling object/fireball through my front windshield that was emerald green in color. It was visible for about three seconds, going out of sight near ground level behind a hillside. It consisted of a main emerald green fireball with what looked like small pieces breaking away from the main object (leaving a small trail). It was falling in a slight North to South direction.

UFO CAPTURED OVER HAUNTED 1913 BARN

I am the ((deleted--senior officer) of the ((deleted--academic group)). I was taking updated pics of our 1913 barn, about 2-2:30 in the after noon. I was looking back and forth on my LCD screen and the shot I wanted. I waited a bit cause when I walked on the dry grass a grasshopper and butterfly came from it, I waited till I saw the butterfly move off to the right and land on a tall weed. Then, I took the pic, and continued walking towards the barn taking two more.

I reviewed the pics on my camera, but didn't notice anything unusual, until I loaded it to my folder. Wondering what it was I zoomed in once, surprised by what it may have been I zoomed in again, and there is where I clearly saw it was not an airplane, even though I never heard any sounds of an aircraft, I only assumed it was a bird or aircraft before I cropped it. I was informed there was no military exercise performed within the area that day.

Also learned there was only one other sighting reported in Santee, same month, but different day. barn is haunted, would this UFO have anything to do with it?




NUFORC Note:

We have looked at the photo, and we suspect that the object is either a bird in flight, with its wings folded, or possibly a winged insect. We suspect that the object is not a genuine UFO, but we cannot be certain. PD

One red light over El Cajon during the 9pm fireworks displays.

I was in my backyard with my telescope (41x mag, 60mm refractor, f/15) and a pair of 10x50mm binoculars to look for this very object(s) as seen last 4th of July at the same time in the same general area of the sky.

I first spotted it a 9:03pm (Sprint time on my cell phone) at approximately 123-degrees magnetic bearing from my location at approx. 7-degrees elevation. It was a bright, steady red light, comparable in brightness to that of the red navigation light on a small general aviation aircraft, of which there were two or three in the south pattern at Gillespie Field Airport at the time. The color of red seemed slightly deeper than standard navigation light red. The object was moving very slowly but steadily from south to north and ascending slightly. After about 5 minutes, it began to flicker a bit. The flickering progressed with time to where at 9:15pm it was flickering as if a flame being blown by wind. No regularity to the flickering.

At 9:17pm, the light flickered out as if it was a flame source that ran out of fuel. I watched it through the telescope as the last glimmer of its light flickered out...and it was gone. Last bearing, approx. 107-deg magnetic, 12-deg elevation. (Based on alignment with Polaris(north star) and subtracting local magnetic variation of about 13-deg.) Its appearance through the telescope gave no more details than looking at a bright star through the telescope. There was no smoke trail visible as I might expect from a burning flare. flares can leave a smoke trail in the air that their own light will illuminate. There was no parachute or balloon visible that might have been illuminated by the light of a flare. No falling sparks visible.

The 9pm local airport weather reports: Montgomery Fld - Clear 64/56 75% NW6 29.97R Gillespie Fld - Clear 66/55 68% Calm 29.97R Ramona - Clear 59/53 80% W6 29.98R Winds aloft forecast for SAN 050600Z (forecast period begins 2 hours after the event, but should be close): 3000 feet -- 320deg @ 7kts 6000 feet -- 280 @ 12 -- +22deg C 9000 feet -- 250 @ 17 -- +18deg C 12000 ft -- 250 @ 21 -- +11deg C 18000 ft -- 310 @ 09 -- -4deg C 24000 ft -- 270 @ 16 -- -17deg C 30000 ft -- 270 @ 24 -- -33deg C 34000 ft -- 280 @ 35 -- -41deg C 39000 ft -- 290 @ 34 -- -51deg C 45000 ft -- 290 @ 27 -- -63deg C 53000 ft -- 280 @ 14 -- -70deg C My guess (only a guess) is that this was some sort of smokeless flare or other high intensity red flaming device carried aloft by one or more black helium ballons. It may have been launched from the vicinity of Grossmont College and carried to the east by light winds to over El Cajon where it extinguished. Last year I saw two such objects simultaneously, for the same duration, on the same date, at the same time, in the same general area of the sky. And those objects appeared and behaved the same. Someone's pulling a prank.

If we get precise bearings from other witnesses in San Diego County, we may be able to triangulate a ground track for this object.

Circular white object, Hovered and moved, alt. approx. 50,000 ft.,... Not a Drifting balloon

Sunday afternoon, as we were leaving for the swapmeet, I noticed a plastic grocery bag caught in the wind about 50 ft. up. (we live approx. 50 yards from highway 67).

As it fluttered by I noticed a white circle hovering high above not moving for about five minutes, then slowly moved up and hovered some more. The second move, made the object appear to rise as it got smaller. I live close to gillespie field airport, and I'm not a professional, but this was not a plane or balloon. This was broad daylight. We observed this object 10-15 min. with binoculars and digital camera.

It still appeared round. I took three pictures of the area hoping to catch it, and then a picture of a small cessna aircraft for reference. The first three pics showed nothing. Strangley the cessna pic has a strange object near it, not seen when taking the photo. Oddly enough I saw the same object today, from La Mesa at 1600 or 4:00pm. My wife was in the bank when I went to open the rear of our Jeep for air, to be honest it startled me see the same white hovering circle. It moved over highway 8 very high 50,000 ft. north two times at five minute or so intervals then became smaller and rose out of sight. This was no drifting weather balloon, it moved with purpose. I'd be glad to E-mail you the pic with the Cessna and object, and the others too, but I couldn't find it in the pics, I'm sure you have better photo enhancement programs. Thank you.

100 Star sized UFOs move in formation over southwest!

this is a copy of the message I sent to Art Bell, I and my friend viewed these lights from San Diego on the morning of 4/5 from 12:53am to 1:20am. Your show alerted us that reports were coming in concerning lights just south of the San Diego border. I walked outside not really thinking I would see anything. Boy was I wrong! About 100 or more star sized nonflashing lights were moving in a loose formation across the sky from north to south. It was totally incredible! An armada of UFOs. I got out my big fujinon 10x70 binoculars and watched them move all the way across the horizon. I could see no detail even with the fujinons. They were so high up they must each have been huge to be so bright when viewed from ground level. This was a major display that I think was more shocking than the phoenix lights. Again let me repeat, over 100 star sized solid white lights moving together in formation across the background starfield. They were not stars. You must investigate this. I never thought UFOs were real, now I have seen 100 at once!

A slow moveing amber light that would increase and decrease brightness, sustaining its brightness in 5 second intervals. Turning at a 80 degree angle dropping then droppin an object of the same color that faded away. then the moveing object itself then faded away

Sunday Morning while with 7 other friends in the Parking lot of Vons (North Park). I looked up and to the north I saw an amber orange glowing object that was no more then 3 miles high slowly flying in our direction (South). As it flew slowly, amber light was always glowing, but would increase and decrease its intensity. It would hold its glow for 5 seconds then it would brighten and hold for 5 seconds then decrease again for 5 seconds. This continued for 2 minutes until the object itself made an 80 degree left turn towards the east over Santee. Less then a minute after it had turned the object had dropped some sort of light that looked like an ember of the the same color of the flying object itself, the object dropped quickly faded to nothing and the object moveing slowly increased its speed and the light was gone. This event had no sound at all..

After having just watched a video tape a friend had recently taken of lights above Cowels Mountain (looking south from Santee) I saw them myself as I headed South on Settle Drive. I lost sight heading easterly and regained it heading south on Carlton Hills Blvd. near Stumps Market due to overcast skies. Anyone else?

Orange lights, moving towards and away from each other. Friends had seen "sprinkling things" coming from it/ them. Also, one light had moved dimly toward another brighter light and then became brighter. L-shaped formation. Indiscernible shapes.

Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a light in the sky. It came closer until it was about 200 ft. away and about 100 ft. off the ground. It was perfectly spherical. It was a metallic blue color with lights on the top and bottom. It flew North after about 3 minutes.

At about 5:40 P.M., I was feeding my dog. I noticed a bright greenish light in the sky. It came closer until it was probably 200 ft. away and 100 ft. off the ground. It made no sound at all. It was a metallic blue color, with green and white lights on the top and bottom. I just stood there watching it for about 3 minutes or so. It then twitched, and flew like a flash North.

I was fishing and as I looked up I saw 3 cylinder-shaped objects in a triangle formation. They had a wierd white glow to them. That (light) was only seen at the bottom of the craft. They also seemed to be spinning. The formation moved left and then right and then shot up so fast you could bearly see them. They made no noise.

Location: Santee, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Left a trail

We were parked in my car talking when my friend pointed out three green balls of light in the distance. As soon as I looked they shot straight up at an amazing speed and disappeared.

My friend and I were parked in my car talking. She was looking straight ahead while I looking at her, when she suddenly said "look!". I immediately looked in the direction she was looking, just in time to see three green balls of light in the distance about 50 yards away. They shot straight up at an amazing speed and disappeared. There were trails, but I believe the trails were caused by the objects moving so rapidly. This is to corroborate ((Name deleted)) experience on the same date (11/10/97). Her account was submitted to you on 9/26/98.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

A bright flourescent green light hovered between 2 houses then swiftly moved to left and then moved directly over us while we sat in car.

My friend and I sat in a parked vehicle one night (after a rain storm) and as we spoke, I witnessed a bright flourescent ball of light (like the color of a glo-stick) hovering between my house and the neighbor's house to the left. When I realized that the ball of light seemed to be suspended there for a few seconds it caught my full attention. The "ball" moved quickly to the left, and for a brief moment "sat" in the center above the neighbor's roof. I was trying to make sense of the unknown light and look for the source from where it could have been shining from. When I did this, I moved my body so I could have a better view out of the windshield. I believe I caught the attention of the "ball" and then it *immediately* made a bee-line for what seemed to be my face. The "ball" came at me diagonally from the neighbor's roof area. I screamed aloud. Just then, the light came upon the top of the car. It seemed to spread itself out atop the hood of the car. It moved from the grill area all the way up over the windshield. The shape was almost that of something gelatinous or vaporous when it came onto the car. In other words, it didnt move as light would move. It seemed to fill the car in a white light with a green tinge to it. It was *extremely* bright at this period. I recall feeling very warm and somewhat disoriented. It felt like the light consumed the space around my body; that I was no longer in a car; that I was now by myself in the light. Then all of a sudden it was gone. Now, to go back to the point where I screamed--at that time, my friend also screamed for he was reacting to my scream. He did not see the light in the ball form, nor did he see the light on the hood, nor in the car. In fact, he was not sure why I had screamed. However, he did see the light move down the back window of the car and then vanish. I did not see the light in the back window nor did I see the light vanish. I wanted to mention that my house is on the east side of the street. Our vehicle was parked inbetween my house and the neighbors house to the left. My friend was seated in the drivers seat and I was laying across the passengers seat and my head was on his lap--and yes, I was facing upwards looking at him as we spoke. We were quite still in movement and I dont think that this "ball" of light knew we were there until I made movement to look closer at it out of the windshield. I wanted to mention that the radio was turned on at a very low volume. After the green "ball" of light left, it increased in volume. This could have been because my friends knee hit the radio knob, yet I am still uncertain. I will also mention that I did check the time when I went into the house and was quite surprised to learn that it was *much* later than I had anticipated, although the experience seemed to only last seconds. The entire event felt draining and exhaustive. After six months or so had passed, I began to notice that I had a marked increase in my ability to learn and my ability to understand analytical issues. I had wanted to report this experience when it had happened, yet I was too shy or perhaps still questioning what had "really" happened that night. I have since witnessed another "green ball light" experience in the same city at a different location with a different witness. This time, there were 3 balls of light and much further off in the distance. The experience this time included only the sighting. This sighting was approx. 11/10/97. I will be happy to give you the details should you be interested in that experience. Now it seems to me that I know what I experienced the first time was "real" so I have decided to finally report the incident. I will be more than happy to supply my background information to you upon request. I am uncertain as to what you would like to know in that regard. Thank you.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 36290
Occurred: 1995-08-05 18:37 Local - Approximate

Duration: 15 seconds

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

The object was in the form of a light, silently traveling from north to south, dissappearing from view without acceleration.

It was a warm Labor Day, I was working as a part time security shift at the Roadway Trucking station. It was my second year working there. On the second year I gradually developed the urge to start looking up into the sky. On that day I was speaking to a friend from a private business just down the hill, who walked his dog four times a day past the compound. We were discussing the possibility of UFOs and aliens, as we often did. At a point I complained to him something to the effect, "I've been watching the sky around here for a long time. I know other people have seen UFOs. How come I never seen any?" Before long my friend and his Dog returned to their place down the hill. Approximately 45 minutes later, at twilight, I was listening to a program on my small radio and walking across the property from west toward the one building on the compound to the east. To my left, high in the sky; higher than most of the local aircraft flew in the area, and travelling a bit faster, was a lighted object traveling from north to south. I then said to myself, "What's this?" As I watched, the object began flying in an up and down pattern once, and then again, and possibly a third time but I can't be sure. But certainly at least two times. I never seen aircraft fly in this manner and I knew that no conventional craft could do that. The object traveled along after the unusual aerial display and then suddenly blinked out.It didn't burn out like meteors and shooting stars, but blinked out, and I've witnessed enought meteors to know the difference. The sky was clear and light enough where I would be able to locate it in the event it had turned in another direction, but I could not find it. It was just gone. No acceleration, just gone, as if it had gone into another dimension, if you can imagine that. At that point I began to realize that I had just witnessed my first and so far, only UFO. And it showed up within 45 minutes after complaining out loud that I have never seen one. It was as though someone heard m! y complaint and decided to show themselves to me. My friend and his dog returned shortly after dark and I told him that I indeed had seen a UFO. My friend started to explain the UFO away but then started offering an explanation on how we on Earth began with the wheel and the aliens began with "flight" as if he knew all about something.

The next day I was working in Chula Vista making a patrol around a large motel and spotted a black car parked in the rear of the building with its windows so dark I could hardly see inside. The vehicle was not on the motel guest list. I won't go into detail the remainder of that incident. But I'll end this by saying that my report is the honest to God truth exactly as I have told it. I swear on a stack of Bibles. I don't know what the object was or its origins but I never seen anything like it prior nor after it. I am retired military and observed many times aircraft in the sky, but again, nothing that came close to the lighted object and its impossible aerial performance.
