Round balls maybe guards. Large silver disc. landing in the oilfield.

ok we were going down a free way to are land we own. Just as we were getting ready to turn I saw a ball in the sky just sitting their not moving but low enough to se some detail. it was tan kind of like skin with dents in it kind of like a ball with half of the air gone. I ask my husband what is that he said maybe a weather balloon said its to small and its completely still.

Well we turned the corner and as we are coming up to are land I notice another ball by are water tanks at the rear of are land. I jump out of the truck and run up top of the hill behind the tanks. The ball was really low about to stores it look like the one I had seen by the hwy it looked like it was organic like human skin. so my husband walks up beside me and says I don't no what it is but its landing I look straight ahead and there it was a sliver disc it must have been really hot the air around it was rippleing. it was huge and landing so I look back up to the ball and its gone I look ahead and the saucer is gone. What is even stranger is that I watch alien shows all the time what I never see is a ufo with guards or what ever the balls were. I feels good to finally tell someone.

Location: Shafter VOR (in flight), CA, USA

Shape: Cylinder


While flying at 8500' Object appeared at my 11 o'clock position and moved at a high rate of speed to my 5 o'clock position beyond my vi

I was flying 310 degrees just SE of the Shafter VOR, coordinates 35:29.07 119:05.84.

I observed a bright magenta colored cylinder spinning vertically moving at a high rate of speed in the opposite direction. It appeared to pass me from 11:00 o'clock to 5:00 o'clock at my altitude at approximately 1/4 mile when at my 03:00 position.

I realize the actual distance would affect my perception of size. If the distance estimate is correct, It would be about 6-12' in diameter - thinking back, at that distance, it would have to be larger than that. All of this is guess work because I doubt I saw it for more than 10-15 seconds.

The object was not hazy. It was very bright and clear. It appeared to me to not be very wide on its circumference, to have a slightly angled up surface about 1/3rd of the way toward the center and then flat to the center.

At the time I exclaimed about it to my wife who was riding in the back seat of our C177 TRG. I didn't think she had time to see it but when I asked her the next day she said she did see it. When she writes up what she saw, I will send it to you.

Saucer shaped object spotted day after another sighting of a different unidentified flying object.

Was at work at a LPG Refinery and was walking across the plant when I noticed a disc Saucer shaped object hovering off in the distance to the west northwest approximately 3/4 to a mile away. Disc was only about 3000 ft in the air or less. Disc glowed or reflected miday sun but with a noticably dark shadow at the bottom of the object. I move torwards an area that I could get a good look at this object and try and make out more detail of it. I noticed that after a few minutes that the object started moving torwards in a north west direction directly away from my veiwing postition. It never changed direction although it did change reflectivety but shadow of the underneath didn't. Something that is a bit strange about this shighting is that I also was witness to another sighting the day before of a completely different object but with four other wittnesses. Made report of object also. As object move in northwest direction it eventually vanished. Had a strange feeling that it was observing the refinery.

Diamond shaped object hovered above refinery and was viewed by 5 other wittnesses.

Was walking into work where co-workers had spotted a hovering object not to far off in the southeastern sky. One of the co-workers had brought out a pair of binoculars and was observing the object when I had arrived for work that morning. The place of business is an LPG Refinery and where bring the plant online at the time. I had an opportunity to observe the object throught the binoculars for about 15 minutes. The object was that of a diamond shape on end and was made up of several dome shaped serfaces. It was metalic and what was wierd about the object was that it gave off a multi-color glow of orange, gold, yellow blue and magenta. Like a prisim. It acted as if it were floating and changing orientation to me the observer. After about 10 minutes into the viewing it changed shape into a hourse shoe shape but maintianed its multi color. Something else that was observed was that the color was not as detecable from the ground. First thought was that it could be some mylar ballons perhaps but if they were they maintianed tight formation, maybe tied together. Object was however approximatley 15,000 ft. so if it were some kind of ballons they were very large. Co-workers acted strangely as though it were no big deal. I can't say that I was excited but very couious. Note: I spotted a different object the next day. Different object structure and no wittnesses. Observed it for approximately 10 minutes until it vanished from view in the distance.

Object goes through shinihg hole!

I was a little boy when I saw this happen.

I was 7 years old and I was helping my dad fix a motor of a well working Camaro we just got so it was brand new. My dad said to himself why wouldn't the engine start. It was possibly 10:00 at night. But when I looked up I saw a helicopter following an object, but the object wasn't an airplane, it was a ufo!

I would of told my my dad but no one believes when you tell them you see a ufo and you probably wouldn't either. So I told him nothing, but the object had lights and was going very slow but it threw something and made a shining hole, I thought it was the moon.

Then the object went through it and dissapeared the helicopter tried going through it but the hole dissapeared.

I went into the house because I was scared and turned on the TV and in every channel I saw the same thing.

Ever since I haven't told anyone. This is what really happened and I'm not crazy because this is real....
