Took photo from on top of parking structure. Thought you might give me a little understanding of what I witnessed and photographed.

I was taking a picture of an owl sitting on a light post which I took successfully. I started walking towards our car, I was with my girlfriend. My camera was still open on my phone which I had in my hand carrying it down at my side. I looked up saw what the picture shows and raised my camera and this is exactly what I saw. This is a zoomed in view of exactly what I saw and photographed. I am 62yrs old and non techy to say the least, I am a construction worker and couldn’t make this up if I tried. I am guessing this was visible for 10 seconds at the very most then it just faded away not to be seen again. This was taken at 11:30 p.m on Dec 28 2024. It was a clear night. I was on vacation seeing family for the holidays and do not reside in this area.

Angle of Elevation: 60
Closest Distance: 10,000 feet?
Estimated Speed: 400 mph
Characteristics: Lights on object

Looked like a double-four domino held at twice arms length. Could only see the "dots"

Looked like a black double-four domino held at twice arms length (except the dots were evenly spaced). Could only see lights (dots) Only was visible for about 10 seconds before slowly fading out. Not time to get a camera. Sky was fairly clear, I could see stars through a thin overcast. All lights faded out together in 2-3 seconds and it didn't seem likely that it went into an area obscured by clouds. I had the first impression that I was looking at an airliner but of course there were no scale comparisons to judge by. Thought it was windows in an airliner, but I never saw one with two rows on the same side, and there would have been more visible. The "dots" were evenly spaced in two rows and didn't change positions relative to each other. Couldn't tell if they were fixed lights on a craft or 8 individual lights moving in formation. I lived in San Diego for 40 years and worked for an aerospace company by the airport. I'm familiar with commercial and military aircraft and have never seen one that looked or acted like this object.

Location details: A metal object move across the sky moving from the south going northward. Object reflected sunlight

Shape: Other


The object looked like a multi-faceted object, reflecting sunlight from several angles. Possibly a satellite, or space debris.

The object moved along a similar flight path as the Skylab, which usually comes across the sky in the evenings at approximately 8:00 pm, however the object seemed lower. It could have been a satellite or space junk I suppose. It could be seen clearly by anyone looking toward the moon at that hour of the day. It was black with reflective panels. Any satellites on that flight path?

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

An object appearing to be shaped of multiple bright circles within it.

Around 3:20 a.m. my husband & I both witnessed what looked like a star, only we both agreed it was too close to the earth to be a star.

I awoke to the sound of a helicopter, in which flew in the direction of the object; yet underneath it. I ran downstairs to grab our binoculars from the garage to take a closer look. As I adjusted the binoculars I could clearly see a multiple of circles within this object that looked to be some sort of spaceship looking object or flying saucer.

My body immediately developed goose bumps I almost dropped the binoculars! I could not believe what I was looking at, so I looked again and woke my husband up and convinced him to look too.

My husband described the same thing without my having given him a description of what I’d seen. After contemplating whether we should phone the police (in fear of being laughed at or thought to be crazy) I decided it was my duty to report it.

I thought also that maybe the helicopter was also surveying it.

The police advised me to contact the UFO Center. I phoned and left a message of what we’d seen with the National UFO Reporting Center in Washington.

I hope this report helps.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

On 8:25 pm a bright white light that had what appeared to be illuminated fog surrounding it flew over my house from South to North.

The bright white light had no sound, and no discernible shape.

It appeared to be at 10k feet or slightly more. It traveled overhead until it stopped completely at a much higher altitude, and appeared to be just a bright star. It stayed there for 5 mins, then headed back to the southeast at a very high altitude.

I was able to look through binoculars at it and still couldn't determine any specific shape, but could see the fog like shroud around the light.

It reminded me of a airplane with its approach lights on lighting clouds in front of it, but it was completely clear outside.

My dad was a g Flight instructor and i grew up in small aircraft. This wasnt anything conventional. No sound, no nsvigstion lights, and ascended from 10k feet to what seemed like much higher than commercial aircraft fly (35k).

Definitely the strangest thing ive seen in 44 years on this planet

I had let my dog outside to go potty in the middle of the night and as I waited I noticed a twinkling light above thinking it was a star at first but was moving slightly so I figured it was an airplane because it was moving slightly and changing from an orangey type color to almost a light blue. But then it remained stationary and would do slight hovering movements. I went back inside to watch it from my back window for a while to be very sure that it was moving and then I woke my husband. We watched it remain still for a minute then it would drop a little and go back up and to the side. These motions were very smooth almost like a flowing dance. I watched it for over an hour and a half then chose to go to sleep. It had moved significantly across the sky from the original spot. It was able to do round motions. At one point I saw an airplane cross the path of the object at a different altitude, thinking it might trigger some type of movement for the light obj! ect to leave but it did not, and it confirmed for us the difference between the movements of a plane and this object.

Huge bright blue flying object seen low in the sky in Southern California

A very bright blue ball caught my peripheral vision while in my backyard late this night, and it was moving in a western/downward trajectory; what seemed not terribly high in the night sky. When I glanced at it to get a full view, it continued to fly past towards our treeline at a continued velocity (seemed slower than a fireball or meteor or shooting star) and didn't seem to break up or change shape. It was a bright white-blue color, with a small trail behind it. It vanished quickly from my vantage point with trees all around, but was the largest and brightest and bluest object I've ever seen that low and that slow moving. My husband was with me and only caught a small glance at it...

Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

Object was moving faster than any aircraft I've ever seen.

On Monday January 6th, my son and I were about to walk into the gym around 5:15 pm, when we saw what we thought at first was a rocket or missile launch. The object was tiny and I couldn't discern it's shape other than triangle looking with a red light on it. It came from due west and curved toward north. There were some high clouds at the time and the object was above them flying extremely rapidly, leaving a contrail. We both felt kind of nervous because of the issues with Iran and wondered if we had seen a missile launch. We live in a flyway for different military aircraft, police, traffic enforcement radar, first responders, fire fighting craft, news helicopters, commercial flights, private aircraft, and so on, in a north-south pattern mostly. We've seen a number of rocket launches come from Vandenberg AFB, where you can see the fan like spray of the rocket's contrail and watch it move across the sky. They move from north-west to south. This was also very ! different than other aircraft or rockets we've seen, not only because of the direction it traveled, but due to the speed in which it was moving. I can watch a jet, up at cruising speed and likely around 36,000 feet, move across the sky from horizon to horizon in about 3 minutes. This craft went across our field of vision, and just before it reached the eastern horizon, it traveled up and out of sight, taking less than a minute. It was moving faster than any aircraft I've ever seen. Location: intersection of I-15 and Temecula Valley Parkway/South Hwy 79.

The object was round. About 75 to a hundred feet diameter. Rough guess. No lights to speak of, but was seen and reflective. It hovered for about three and a half minutes with no real motion or movement.. The object, or round vehicle as I call it, was in the west from my position. As the sun was still up mostly, it was mostly staying I would guess about three or four thousand foot altitude. That it was clearly around disc saucer shape, and when it took off you didn't take off lightning fast it was moderately fast, but slow enough to follow visually. Right about to the point it was out of sight, it went really fast. Whether it was bending light and appeared to go fast I would say right at the point when it was out of sight but not as it was leaving from the stationary point. It was a classic saucer shape which I would think you wouldn't see typically during this period of time. Developmental agreements government and otherwise but was very nice to see. As havi! ng spoken with the person who operates a site, the person is a very credible than upstanding person and I'm a very big fan of. Sad to say, I don't have any pictures to speak of nothing that shows clearly but I was seeing.

As we have to chalk this up as just another story or witnessed event. It's a nice event to have experienced.

As you will see in the boxes below there will be no check marks as to indications for characteristics of the sighting. It did not produce lights, it did not produce sound. Not like other sightings or experiences I've had previously.

Time: 9:00 p.m Pacific time; California
Location: Temecula, California
Duration: 20 sec
Direction: Eastward across the sky, 3 stars that appeared to be the size of Orion’s Belt in the sky appeared and weaved slightly and then disappeared. Not out of my vision, but into the sky, as it was dark. They also seemed to appear out of no where. Earlier approximately 30-60 mins, I saw a shooting star, which I thought was odd given the reflective light from the city and my location.

I hope that helps, I apologize if my over enthusiatisc tone made you think that this was a prank, but it is not. Any further inquires you have regarding this situation, I would love to hear from you, via reply to this email.

Triangle shaped UFO in the sky moving around!

So I was injoying the night view and I looked at the stars and 3 stars stared moving like they were connected hints the space craft, it looked like it was flipping around and moving side to side. It slowly got further and further away and it disappeared. I didn't know stars could move so it has to be UFO. I also saw 3 other stars that were flying across the sky just a little faster than a airplane. I would see one then it would go away then another one would come by. About a 5 min difference, I thought they were planes but you clearly tell the difference between a star and a plane!

Blue rectangular, semi transparent object (~6' x ~12') rose up out of a small grove of fruit trees and disappeared with a very bright w

Temecula is in Southern California, and today was very odd because it snowed last night.

We drove up to a small mountain range off of Hwy 15, parked, and my wife two small kids and I were playing in the snow (a ~4" blanket of snow was on everything). There were scattered houses in the area, each on 5-15 acres.

After about 10 minutes of playing/pictures, I was looking at the nearest house, that was about 1/4 mile away, when I noticed a rectangular blue sheet rise out of a small grove of fruit trees near the house. The sheet appeared to be about 6' x 12' and was semi-transparent and oscillating...it looked like a thin sheet of blue fire (it moved much like fire would). Before it cleared the tree-line, a very bright whitish flash emanated from the top and it was gone.

My wife happened to be looking in the same general direction, she saw the bright flash (but did not witness the blue sheet). The final flash was as bright as lightning.

The entire incident was silent and lasted about 3 seconds. I have heard of "Sheet lightening" but this doesn't fit the description. This was very, very odd, out of place, and nothing like I have every seen before...it seemed out of this world.

3 rust colored lights dog fighting with a possible commercial airliner

At about 9:45 p.m., I went out front of my house to have a cigarette. I looked north towards my neighbor's house and noticed bright orange-rust colored lights, possibly over Corona, California.

I wear glasses to correct my vision so I took off my glasses to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion on my lenses. The lights were still there.

I put my glasses back on and watched as 3 orange lights danced around what looked like a commercial airliner. I could tell it was an airliner because of the red and white strobe lights and the slow movement of the craft.

They looked almost like they were dog-fighting with the airliner. They were pulling some weird maneuvers around this airliner--for instance, going very very fast and then suddenly stopping near the airliner, then moving very fast past the airliner, then stopping suddenly again and repeating the process.

The airliner looked like it made some course corrections, as if it was affected by the lights.

Then one of the rust-colored lights became more dim, and then dissipated, like it just dissolved into nothing.

The 2 remaining lights danced around as the airliner kept its original course heading approximately south-south east.

After a few more seconds of making very quick, very minute course corrections now behind the airliner, they too both dissipated into nothingness one after another.

I looked around my suburban neighborhood and noticed nobody was outside and nobody else saw this amazing dance in the sky.

I then lit my cigarette and watched the sky waiting for more but saw only stars and more planes, but they were south of my location and weren't displaying any weird movements.

I went inside and described my experience to my wife whom I abruptly woke up.

Big red ball in the sky, moving really slow

I was in the back yard of my house with my friend. I saw something red on the sky and I told to my friend, "Look, Marte is right there." ((sic. Mars??))

She said " is Venus is not Marte". and than we saw the red moving really slow, and we tough that it was a airplane.

But the lights were not flashing like airplane so we keep watching the red ball and after seconds the red ball disappear.

Giant fire balls in the sky.

We saw giant fire balls in the sky, it started off as three in a triangle formation then they changed into linear formation, then they disappeared and re-appeared several times during 30 minutes. The number of fire balls increased then decreased but at the end it went from 5 at the most to more than we could count. The large amount of fire balls were visible for att least 10 minutes so 40 minutes total, approximately. When filming and photographing the balls they looked like blinking lights. We were at least a 45 minute drive away from them but they were still very large and visible, we are about 3500 ft above sea level and they were still way above us. I have numerous photos and three videos.

Saw A Circular Shiny Object Or Disk In The Sky

On August 18th, 2013, at approx. 7:30 pm, I was driving to Temecula, CA, from the San Marcos, CA, area. It was still clear daylight at that time and the sky was clearly, clearly visible, a beautiful blue sky. I was on I-15 coming from the south and traveling northward towards Temecula. To help pinpoint my location in travel at that time, it would have been closest to the next exit off of I-15, which was the Temecula Parkway exit on the right.

At that point in my travel, I was looking skyward as I was kind of up on a hill which heads downward into the Murrieta and Temecula areas, so I was higher up on the freeway, the hill, at that point.

All of a sudden I saw a silver, exactly round, shiny disk, high in the sky, very high up in the sky in the distance in front of me. The silver disk was stationary, no movement at all at any time while I was watching it, which was about twenty seconds, I'd guess. It was clearly visible the whole time.

It was high up in the sky, like about as high as the commercial airlines fly, but could have been higher. It looked smaller than the moon, in comparison to that. I at first kind of thought it looked like a very, very small moon, but it was shiny, which looked odd to me, so I kept looking at it. I’m thinking it must have been seen by many people, as it could clearly visibly be seen.

Then, all of a sudden, all I could see of the round silver disk was about half of it and it kind of looked sideways then, in that kind of way. I’m guessing it must have quickly turned sideways (and I’m just guessing that) and it was gone! It just disappeared out of sight. That quickly, it was gone! As I said previously, I didn’t see any movement of the object at any time, whatsoever, and I had constant clear view of it from my front car windshield the whole time until it disappeared.

Two very bright 'stars', one of them red, moving slowly from south to north then fading away.

I walked out my front door to look at the stars(my door faces south)as soon as I looked up I was confused by what I saw, two bright 'stars' that did not belong, between the constellations of Scorpio and Libra.

Their brightness was about twice that of the stars in Scorpio. One had a red hue about the same as Antares the other had no color.

When I looked closer I saw that they were moving very slowly to the north the red one ahead of the other.

Their distance from each other was less than the spread of the three stars at the head of Scorpio.

After watching for less than ten seconds they both faded out while they were still just west of the head of Scorpio.

If it was one faint light I would assume it was a circumpolar satellite passing into the Earth's shadow, but their brightness was about the same as the ISS and one of them red?

Very bizarre.

Photos capture UFOs over Temecula, CA

I have five (5) pictures that I took on a moon night about one month ago in January 2012, Temecula, CA, between 10 an 11pm. The reason I took the photos is that the full moon was so extraordinarily beautiful.

I forgot the photos were in my camera until I downloaded them yesterday with some other pictures I had taken. What I saw amazed me. I have five (5) photos of UFO’s. I am not a person who believes in UFO’s, however, these photos give me the chills when I look at them.

I have one picture that boggles the mind it is extremely clear and close enough to show details of what are three UFOs. I have two (2) pictures that show so many in the sky, they look like hot air balloons, although it is clear they are not and two pictures that show diamond shaped ones. When the pictures are enlarged, they have a variety of different colors emanating from them.

Blacked out Helicopters followed by a strange white light

On November 16, 2011, at approximately 18:20 hours, my witness and I were sitting in a Temecula parking lot at Ynez and Margarita in the Fresh and Easy parking lot. It was dark out. We heard several CH46 helicopters flying overhead (I am prior military, worked on these helicopters for years, I would know the sound of one anywhere). We thought it was strange that we could hear them, but could not see the lights from any of them. I could tell they were directly over us, judging by the sound. My witness and I leaned out of our windows to visually inspect the sky above us. We were able to spot the silhouette of three CH46 helicopters that were completely blacked out. Those are just the ones I was able to get a visual on. We can’t tell how many others there were that passed overhead, I just know that there were several. They were flying unusually low. I can’t say exactly how high up, but you figure, those helicopters do not go above 10,000 feet. They were much lo! wer than that, though. Maybe 20 seconds after they passed overhead, we got a visual on something else in the sky. It was round and looked like a spot light. It pretty much resembled the spot light from another helicopter. The light was pulsating at a very slow rate and was moving through the sky in the same direction as the helicopters that had passed overhead, but was at a good distance behind and at the same altitude.

Whatever was flying over us made no sound. We could hear the beat of the helicopters in the distance, but heard nothing overhead. After approximately 10-15 seconds of having a visual, we exited the vehicle to get a better look. Upon exiting the vehicle, we saw the light of this craft flash on and off maybe three more times and then it disappeared completely. No lights, no sound, no silhouette. It was just gone.

round orange sphere over the temecula valley

from the corner of my eye I saw what I thought was a shooting star. When I turned to look at it, it was pretty low, close to the house it was flying over. It was completely round in shape and a bright round red/orange glow.

It had an irredescence like a jellyfish and moved with the grace of a jellyfish pulsing like a jellyfish slightly opened at one end yet the burnt/orange color was a completely round shapeball slowly moving from a south/west direction to a north/east direction.

As it moved slowly and quietly further away and up higher it changed shape and looked like an airplane that was engulfed in flames but made no sound. it kept travelling until it grew smaller and smaller and dissapeared.

Slow bright light moves across night sky over Temecula

My son and I just saw a strange light flying slowly across the sky. It changed intensity several times before vanishing. It was not blinking. I have seen satellites move across the sky before and this was much lower. It changed direction twice but not suddenly. It gradually hooked around 20 degrees and then straightened out again. It was so bright initially that my son noticed it through a window in the house. He got my attention and I went outside to see it, I watched it move slowly about 5 minutes then vanish overhead.

Fireball that hovered for about an hour and changed shape

I already filed this with San Diego, yet I don't see it on the reports. I have seen this type of vehicle twice now.

On May 13, 2010, and July 1st, 2011. It looks like a bright fireball from where my house is,yet it gives off no illumination, other than flare of it. Almost like a arc-welder. It was out on the mountain in the back of the house. Me, my husband, and a friend watched it for like an hour.

Then after it got dark it started flying towards me, but changed it's shape to make me believe it was an airplane, but it wasn't.

I know what I saw, it wasn't from this world. I have the full video of it (almost an hour), and I also have still captures from the video to show you this "fireball" phenomenon...it's very strange, and all I want to know is what is it!!

My wife, her cousin and myself were exchanging gifts in a parking lot in Temecula, California, by the corner of Winchester Road and Ynez, facing northwest, when we noticed a streaking, bright orange fireball falling from the sky. At first, I thought it was a falling star, then I thought it was a missile because there was a trail and it appeared to be falling slowly. We watched the fireball split into two, than it split into three and appeared to hover over the ground for a couple of minutes. It wasn't as bright as it originally was, and then it all disappeared.

Seven bright, orange, round lights on New Year's Eve 2010

My husband and I were sitting outside around the fire when, from the Northeast, we see a bright, round, orange light flying slowly towards us. Thinking it was a helicopter with an unusual orange light we just watched as it flew over our home. As it came closer we expected to hear the usual noise of a helicopter, but it was silent. As it seemed to be directly overhead, it seemed to dim and then shoot upwards to a pinpoint light and disappear. While overhead, it seemed to have the appearance of such a bright light it had a starburst look about it. About 15-30 seconds later, another one came from the same direction and did the same thing. After about four of these bright orange light "fireballs" we called our son to come and witness. He saw three more of the same. We were not under the influence at the time. I do not drink. My husband is an airline pilot and former Marine fighter pilot. He is a very logical man and was completely dumbfounded.

High altitude light that faded into two small points of light, slowly moving in tandem to the south.

I was up late watching the Perceids meteor shower with my main view towards the North East. It was a beautiful, clear night with no moon. Jupiter was hanging high over head and slightly to the south at this hour. There were several nice meteors, two brilliant ones of note, but the rest were just tiny little streaks. I was getting a little bit bored with looking at the same section of sky so I looked back over towards the South. I could see Jupiter shining through the fabric of the sunshade but off to the side of the shade and directly overhead, I noticed a bright, smaller, pale, bluish, white light. I was confused since I knew it wasn't another planet and I hadn't remembered seeing a star that was that bright.

As pondered this anomaly, it just slowly faded out. While my eyes adjusted tracking around it's position, I then got this bizarre motion sensation which really bugged me out since I was sitting stationary. I realized then that it wasn't me that! was moving, it was a tiny light that my eye had fixed upon, it was no brighter than the background stars, and it was moving slowly towards the South.

That's when I noticed it wasn't alone. There were two distinct, small points of light moving perfectly in unison together with one ahead of the other at a slight angle from my perspective, there was a decent gap between the two, about an inch and a half to two inches if you measured between two fingers of an outstretched hand. A jet flying at a high altitude with it's standard running lights flashing also happened to fly overhead a moment later, but towards the East at a completely perpendicular angle to the lights. I don't think the jet's appearance was related, as I could tell it (the jet) was much, much closer that the lights. What ever I was seeing had to be at an extremely high altitude, possibly in orbit or possibly in outer space. I honestly don't know what I saw tonight but it just gave me the chills. I thought, maybe it was two objects at first, but then I wondered, what! if it w as just one, extremely long object that was dimly illuminated at either end? I've seen a few weird things in my life, but nothing like this.

Please don't think I'm crazy, I'm usually pretty skeptical about these things, but to actually see it with my own eyes...

I don't know what else to say. I can only hope that maybe there is some rational explanation for what I've just seen.

Red bright light flighs across the dim sky!!

I was in my room enjoying myself. I looked out of my window and saw a round bright red ball in the sky. I was scared! I ran outside to my backyard. Looking around I saw it, the light was small at first, it was kind of pulsing. It slowly went across the sky. It drifted away getting smaller. I grabbed my brother before it went away. He saw it and said it was a plane. Planes aren't that red and aren't that big! I couldn't help but remember how slow it went, as I continued looking at it, the light went faster. Soon left out of my sight.

Big, Bright Hovering Light

I took my dogs out to go to the bathroom before I went to bed around 12:45 am on May 14th. When I went out the back, I saw a very bright light or star-like object off out in the distance, but it started coming closer and getting brighter and brighter.

I called to my boyfriend and told him to come look at it, to see if it was some sort of helicopter or an airplane. There were no blinking lights, no sounds, and when it got close enough it just hovered in the same area for awhile, slowing moving to the right, or getting higher and then lower.

I grabbed my camcorder and started recording it and at first it was a sphere and then it changed into a diamond shape when I would zoom in. We both stood there trying to figure out what it was, he would look at it, then I would through the lens of the camera or binoculars but we couldn't figure it out.

As I said, it made no sounds, no blinking red or green lights it just shown like a big bright light for a time. It lit up the area around, sort of like how a full moon lights up the sky, and after awhile of watching it we both just came in and didn't bother trying to figure it out anymore, and later on I checked and it was gone.

What's so strange is a friend of mine had seen it to, and when I was telling her and showing her the video I took, she said, "Oh my god, I saw that same thing this morning!" and a friend of mines son also seen it around the same time but in different places.

I look up to where it was just about every night, trying to see if it was some sort of light or house but there is nothing… I think it was something though, but not from our world.

UFO or ?

We were on I15 just north of the boarder crossing driving down into Temecula when saw a circle shaped thing in the sky. The lights were moving from side to side in a row. I know most people driving down the hill that evening saw it as many were braking. Don't know what it was but it was very visable.

Southern California Bright Light/ UFO? Early Morning.

It was about 4 am when I was woken from my brother in law asking for the camera. He said look outside the window there's lights in the sky. So I glanced out of the window to see to bright lights sitting completely still in the sky. There were no other stars seen and this was the first time I've every seen anything like this. My mom in law said they went out there 30 minutes to an hour early and it got real close and had blue lights flashing on the top of the white light. I was too scared to go outside to take picture because it was still dark. I was looking out the window and saw the top light drop and smaller light which fell slowly down and disappeared.

I have pictures of this lights in the sky that were taken around 5am. I could only describe them as lights that grew dimmer and dimmer and moved ever so slightly as the sun came through. At 5:45 they disappeared. I will be out there tomorrow night to see if they come back.

Location: Temecula, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Brightly lit object about the size and brightness of a planet in the night sky, made several movements in multiple directions.

The object was essentially a yellow colored light, about the size and brightness of a planet (Venus or Mars) that is normally seen in the night sky. With binoculars I could see that it appeared to be more oblong shaped with a dark band separating 2 lit areas of the object. Unfortunately it was not brightly lit enough to capture with a camera.

When my wife and I noticed it had made several erratic movements up and down and side to side, we knew it was not a celestial object of any kind. We monitored it for close to 30 mins from our backyard as it made several sudden but subtle movements back and forth and up and down. It was approx 15-25 degrees above the horizon, looking west from my position.

The erratic movements it was making were unlike any I've seen a helicopter or airplane make, especially at the distance it appeared to be. We are somewhat near March AFB, and French Valley airport, and we do get a lot of helicopter and airplane traffic overhead, but this made no noise and did not seem to move in a way I've ever seen a helicopter make. It certainly could not have been an airplane as it was too stationary.

Blue Green and multi colored Orb 2 pix 1 filmclip

On 7/6/08 22:30 looking up at the stars I noticed a flashing pulsar then 3 more, I rarely saw four in a straight line east to west, so I decided to set-up my telescope celestron 130 slt with 2X Barlow lens with plossl fully coated 12.5mm and noticed they were or seemed to be rotating and flashing like a siren all type of torques colors blue green as Well as red white.

called my wife out to take a look and a few friends were all equally amazed , I took 20 pics and 5 movie clips was there for a good hour and a half and then they all disappeared .

I panned the skies for another hour I wanted to explain it before I went to bed couldn't find it. However I noticed a lot of what appeared to be satellites (white dots, star like) zipping across the sky in all directions it seemed every few minutes another one would cross the viewfinder path moved to quickly to see through telescope so I grabbed my binoculars some would disappear or fade out before 15* to horizon other would make it all the way assuming they continued I can only follow to about 5 degrees.

Still curious I grabbed my night vision Single Scope made in Russia night Owl optics Give a pretty big view plus 10 x 35 mag. I haven’t found away to take pics through it but will come up with something what I saw was pretty amazing, I aimed into the sky ( above my head) then flipped on infrared within a minute I began seeing moving white dots (all stars look like white dots through the night vision some lager then others, lots of them) I was telling myself this must be normal a lot of debris up there. NORAD claims to be track like 9000 pieces perhaps it was the suns reflection hitting this debris? I don’t know, will invest in a night vision camera

several blinking lights in circle formation, moving in a circle motion

Several, about 7 or 8 small quickly blinking lights in a circle formation, spinning, like a hula-hoop, real slowly. It was light enough still to see if there was any solid metal parts like an airplane or helicopters or what not, but all that was visible were the lights..

I watched them until they dissapeared over the mountains to the west.

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

December 1st, 2006- While walking with a group of people to a Christmas parade, 2 rectangle objects flew by extremely fast!

Upon walking with a group of unkown people to our local Christmas parade route, we noticed 2 rectangular objects flying by at great speeds. They were moving horizontally from a N to S direction at about 5000 ft.( Our best guess)

The distance between us and the lights was maybe 1-2 miles and our viewing was just from the West side of the 15 Fwy looking out towards the East.

They were a hazy yellowish or orange color. Because we live near a private airport, we are used to a lot of air traffic as well as traffic coming and going from March Airforce Base and Miramar.

Also because of the Palomar Observatory, all of our street lights are dim to allow viewing. So because of this, we also see very clearly on almost every night meteorites coming down.

These 2 lights were going so quickly that it startled us. There was also no sound coming from them, and believe me, after spending time my whole life around military bases, nothing can fly at that speed without breaking the sound barrier and causing some kind of noise.

The only way to descibe their formation would be to illustrate it.( -_ ) Thats pretty much what they looked like.

Took about 5 seconds to across the sky and then just disappeared.

Temecula light around 2005 0r 2006

Summer, around 2005 or 2006. My ex husband and myself and his teenage son, and my teenage daughter (both about 17 or 18) and my 12 or 13 year old youngest daughter. We were in our car parked on Calle Mataro Street (facing East) and a street with a cul de sac was at the driver's left. We were in our car preparing to go the movies that night. One kid left something in the house, so we were waiting.
\
Then one of us noticed an extremely bright light about 350 feet or so up in the sky to the left (over the houses in the left street cul de sac street.) The light hovered, and then became extremely bright as if something was also watching us! It hovered for about 1-2 full minutes and appeared like it was right over the roof of the homes on that cul de sac street. We were all saying "What is that?!" We all stared at it mesmerized.

After a while the light rose slowly up, and the bright light just shut off like it was never there. My ex told us in the car not to ever mention it to anyone. But I did a few times. I told a co-worker, and she confided in me, when she was a kid, that her and her cousins (Riverside county) had a light shining in the living room of their cousins lake home brightly like what I had seen from the sky, and the kids and the parents seen it, and her parents shut the window quickly and told them to "get down!"

Two pulsating lights changing from white to blue to red

Grilling in the backyard about an hour after sunset on the horizon looking east we noticed a pulsating light changing from white to blue to red almost like a older type police car siren light. We noticed another one north east about the same altitude, at first I thought it was a illusion from the gases in the atmosphere and decided to wait an hour and see if it was a star or plane, an hour later they were almost over head both at their same distance apart. the next clear night the exact same thing occurred again and again a neighbor told me that they are pulsars and another said they are satellites. But now I have the whole street looking at them on every clear night. I recently went to Long Island , New York and I could see them there as well. Again on a clear night if you look east an hour after sunset about 20 degrees up from the horizon you'll see them one N.E. and one S.E.

Bright ball of light that dissapears soon after being noticed. Appears almost three times a week.

On my morning walks I have been spotting an unusual UFO that appears to recognize when it is noticed. It appears at different points in the sky, nearly every morning I go walking(usually every weekday from about 6am to 7am). It appears only when it is still dark out. It looks at first to be the north star, but the north star can also be seen while the object is in the sky. In actuality, it is brighter than the north star. It is motionless until noticed, upon which it immediately begins to quickly dim until the bright light is nothing but a small point of light, much like a star. After a few more seconds, it disappears altogether. The object apparently appears at different altitudes. My final sighting of it before the clocks were set back(it does not appear in daylight) occured on 10/29/04. The object appeared DIRECTLY ABOVE ME, at a very low altitude. It was extremely bright, even though it was behind the low clouds. I stood and stared at it for about five seconds, and than the stationary light, like always, shut off. The object was always completely silent.

Light turning on and off

While I was out in my backyard last night between 8-9pm, sitting in my jacuzzi and looking up at the sky, I always notice shooting stars. But last night for the first time, I was looking at the sky and I saw a light turn on for one second and then turn off. I thought it was my vision even though I have perfect vision but I kept looking for it again in the same area. Within a 20 minute period, I saw the light about 7 times. It would turn on for one second, then turn off for about 3 minutes. Have you heard of anything like this? I have never seen something like this in the sky before. Could it be a stationary satellite that flashes once in a while? Looking forward to your response. The size of the light was like a bright star.

Low flying lights pass from horizon to horizon at approximately 1000 ft altitude in less than 4 seconds.

Two white lights moving in an offset tangent from West to East, approximately two to three miles North of and traveling parallel to Hwy 79 S as it traverses the Redhawk area. Lights remained perfectly fixed in relation to one another, as attached to a single craft, or, two craft flying in precise tight formation: Angle of offset suggests the latter.

Lights went from horizon to horizon in less than four seconds, suggesting a very high rate of speed. No way to determine altitude, however, intuitively the craft appeared to be about 1000 ft. This was not a helicopter, they fly overhead all the time, nor was it military jet or small jet aircraft.

There was no sound whatever. The lights went by so quickly that I jumped to my feet from where I was sitting in bed reading. This was unlike anything I have ever witnessed in the night sky before. I have 25 years of military operations experience observing military aircraft conduct every conceivable maneuver at night... I am 49 years old.

Did my son see a UFO that night?

My 6 year old son told me he saw something last week after chewing on it a bit, I thought I would go ahead and report it. The exact time is unknown, so it could have happened in the late night of the 17th or the early morning hourse of the 18th. I wrote what he told me down in a journal and posted it on an internet message board. My report is just as I recorded it on paper and is as follows...

My son said he was sitting up in bed looking out the window. He said he could not sleep last night because he had a dream somebody was after him. Anyways, he said he saw a jet fly by. He stuck his head up against the window to watch it as it flew over head. Then, he said he noticed another jet that he happened to spot in the light of the moon. He said it had smoke coming out of. It looked like a missle. He also said it was "flying all crazy" and that he "didn't think the driver was paying attention." He said it looked like it flew right into the moon. He said that as he was watching it, he thought "oohhh, that looks like it is going to crash." (he is repeating the story as I write this) Then he says it just crashed.

He was very detailed in how he describes the crash. He said the impact looked like the sparks that come off a cigarette when somebody throws one out of the car window at night. Interesting...

Bright lights over Pala Rd in Temecula

At about 6:47pm, my family and I pulled out of our drive, and turned right onto Pala road. As we came around a bend in the road I noticed a bright red light in the sky in front of and to the right of us, at about a 1 o'clock position. It was very big and very bright. I commented about how big it was and asked J. if he thought it could be a satellite. He said it was too big, he didn't know what it was. I watched it for about a minute and a half, the time it would normally take us to get from the end our our drive, to the gas station that is a mile away. The light was hovering stationary in the sky, and had not moved in that minute and a half I was watching. Then it moved across the sky from a 1 o'clock to a 9 o'clock position. I am not sure, but I believe the car in front of us was looking at it as well, because as soon as the light began to move, the person driving the car in front of us slammed on his brakes. The object moved very steadily, there was no wobble or anything like that. It moved across the sky and then stopped and went back into a hover. We were passing it at about that point in time. As I caught my last glimpse of it, it appeared that there were now two red lights. They were only red lights, no other color. They were not blinking, like the smack lights on an aircraft would do. For lack of better words, I would say the light was pulsating, but not blinking.

The light was about as big as half of my pinky nailbed if I were to hold it at arms distance away from my eye. That would mean either a very large object, or a very close object. There were no sounds. A helicopter would have made a sound. I was a helo mechaninc in the Marine Corps and I would have been able to distinguish which helo by the sound of the engine. There was no sound. The only other craft I know of that can hover like that is a Harrier, and that, too would make a very loud and distinguishable sound. We continued on along Pala Rd and I lost sight of it once we passed the Pechanga Hotel. I had it in my site for about 4-5 minutes.

Last night I went outside after dark and watched the air traffic around the area. There is an airport to the north of us and a military base to the south of us. I noticed that none of the lights of the planes that were coming and going were as large as the light I saw on the 5th. I also noted that the direction these planes were coming from were not consistent witht the flight path of the light I saw. I would love to know what it was!

Huge submarine shaped craft in the sky in Temecula 300 yards wide.

I was driving north on Ynez road at around 9:30pm to get some food. From the east appeared two lights spaced from eachother. At first i thought maybe it was two planes flying next to eachother as it got closer the object looked like a giant submarine it then turned north. I went north filled with curiosity about this object and turned right on some road in a comercial area eventualy the object was directly above. Other cars in the area were all driving slow and gazing on up at the sky. I then found the object getting closer and closer above me i looked up and the object was giant probably around 300 yards it was all i could see above me naturaly this is when my fear set in. I then turned a u turned and the object continued north. During this whole event i heard a deep low frequency rumbling noise. After the object left my site i returned home and called my friend. The next day went by and we decided to go out and look for it again. We went out a little later then i had the night before and we saw lights off in the west. Shooting from one area to another with great speed. He then became very excited we drove around the area for two hours but failed to see anything else besides that first initial light. We will be back tomorrow night around the same time with a camera to see what we can. This is the weirdest and possibly the most terrifying/exciting event of my life.

Bright circular light that left a glowing tail with the object moving straight up and then hanging for moments before disappearing.

We initially saw what appeared to be a falling star but it was moving straight up into the sky leaving a very bright tail behind. At the head was a very bright cirlular object with a very long, bright tail trailing behind. My wife thought it looked like a rocket and I thought it looked like a shooting star. It was partly cloudy and the tail grew and then it seemed to suspend in the air and then just disappeared and left behind a glowing trail. Then it was gone as if it wasn't there at all. I checked the Camp Pendleton website to see if there were any reported military activities from the base which is on the other side of the Santa Rosa Mountains from where we saw the lights and nothing was being reported as being planned for this day. I am a graduate of a California State University with an MBA in Finance, am employed and married with three children.

Shape: Sphere


Three shperes

Around noon time as I was coming up Ynez Rd. I saw three sphere shaped objects high in the sky. I believe they were silver, as the sun was brightly reflected off of them. What caught my eye was that one of the spheres was making impossible movements. It was moving back and forth in perfect swinging pendulum types movements. It was moving very quickly like this, back and forth for some time. I parked my car in a parkin lot on Ynez and Winchester Road and continued to watch a bit longer. There were two other sphere shaped objects above, however, they remained stationary. At one point, the sphere that was moving had attracted two large hawks to it. The two birds and the sphere seemed to engage in a playful game together. I think this is significant because comparing the sphere to the birds, I would say the sphere would be about 3 to 4 feet in diameter. I sat and watched this for about 45 minutes total. At 1300 hrs, I ducked my head back into my car (I had been standing outside of my car) just long enough to unbuckle my baby from his car seat. When I got him out, and looked back into the sky, all that was left was the two birds. There were no signs of the spheres anywhere.

between 2:30am and 4:00am, my girlfriend and i were on her upper porch and were looking straight up in the sky, looking at all the stars and for a few minutes it was just a bunch of stars, then we noticed three stars that formed a triangle were moving slowly ...very, very large triangle, the point was towards the south...all three started moving towards the south at a very slow rate of speed. it was just the three stars we could see the other stars it was not a solid object, just three bright stars we viewed it for 5 to 10 minutes, then as it hit the farthest point the lead star stopped, the other two caught up it then formed a straight line....all three then just faded away...if anybody in this part of amercia was looking up they saw it too, these moving stars were, well it was too big not to notice...we know what we saw, can't believe it, but we KNOW what we saw...



((ADDENDUM FROM SAME WITNESS))

In Temecula, CA two people viewed 3 star like objects in motion for 5 minutes at 2:30 AM

A man and his girl friend were sitting on the porch of her house. The house is located within one mile of the route 79 E exit off of I-15 some 30 miles N of Escondido, CA, near the Pechanga Casino. Looking at the stars, the man noticed that three stars were in motion. They appeared to form an equilateral triangle as they flickered and moved to the South horizon. The triangle subtended a huge arc of the sky(a distance between 10:30 and 1:30 elevation ) This huge spread attracted the man's attention and he told his girl friend to look at this phenomenon. Both were quite amazed and emotional. They both observed for five minutes. During this time the leading star-like object stopped and the other two objects fell in line behind it. They then faded away as they got low on the horizon. The man is a military veteran and held secret clearances. The night was very clear with the Milky Way visible. He had never had an experience such as this and has viewed the night sky many times in the past around the world. This witness volunteered he was not drinking.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke at length over the telephone with this witness, and he seemed quite sincere and credible to us. He occupied a responsible position in the military. PD

Unexplainable shinny chrome globe following me near Temecula

I was land surveying a vacant lot in the hills behind Temecula California. Halfway through the survey I noticed a small shinny chrome colored globe about 18" across floating about 10' off the ground in the canyon. I at first figured it was a helium balloon. I kept working, but the globe wasn't blowing away in the breeze, and seemed always to be floating within site. I kept looking at it thinking I would see seams or some resemblance of a balloon or manufacturing, but the globe looked seamless. It stayed a distance of about 200' from me as I moved along the property finishing my survey of the lot. Before I packed up my gear I decided to go have a closer look because I was getting the creeps from this thing.

The globe rised up about 3-400' off the ground when I walked towards it, then floated off to the West away from me until it was out of sight.

I never got the close look I hoped for to ease my mind, but as I drove home I thought about it all day. A helium balloon can be round and chrome colored, but only from two angles (front and back). If the object was a balloon, it would have had seams and/or the fill spout off the bottom. The fact that it didn't appear to have a fill spout and always seemed perfectly round the whole sighting time just didn't allow me to accept it as a balloon. The fact that it flew off to the West towards Temecula also didn't make sense since the breeze was blowing in the opposite direction.

I reported the event to my office workers when I returned back to my Nevada office but everyone just blew it off.

This event has haunted me for 20 years, and I still can't explain the event no matter how much I think about it.

I didn't see it until I started transmitting for RTK gps surveying, it didn't leave until my equipment was powered down. It was just too strange and unexplainable.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

I was working the night shift at a manufacturing plant when I went outside to take a break. It was around 1:00-1:30am and night visability absolutley clear.I remember looking to my right (south) getting a few glimpses of car lights heading up a mountain several miles away when I turned to my left and saw this glowing lightstick color green orb moving slowly in front of me down the parking lot. I began to walk after it and its glow illuminated myself and the path beneath it. As I increased my pace it would distance itself. There was no sound at all.This objects approximate size was that of a softball. I know this because, it passed underneath a telephone line that was connected from building to building. Approximate height 12-15 feet and I was directly under it. The objects heading was perfectly straight and did not rise or fall in height.I followed it for a good 200 feet until it passed over a small building that was fenced off.I watched the object illuminate the building as I was backing up to keep a visual on it.The object seemed to reach the back of the building stopped and then just winked out.
