2 reddish yellow pulsating slow moving lights hovering over Los Angeles

Two reddish orange glowing lights hovered approx 200-300 hundred feet apart from each other. I was facing north on Temple City Blvd north of Las Tunas Drive, Temple City when I saw this.

They floated about a third ways above the horizon.

These lights slowly moved west, the one to my right moved a little faster than the one to my left. The one to my right faded away before the one to my left.

It was like the one on my left was floating over El Monte and the other over Rosemead, Ca.

Round slow pulsating lights, yellow centers red outer solid lights. Each color pulsates separately.

Equal in and size. Like street light sized but high in the sky.

I was driving when I saw this and at 1st I thought it was a meteor but they didn’t move quickly or fade and streak like a meteor does.

Thank you MH Temple City Ca

North Eastern evening sky, two objects appear and disappear like the Phoenix lights all in about 10 to 20 seconds.

On Wednesday evening, I decided to water my lawn in the backyard. I sat down in my chair, which faces East, as my two labs were tracking the stream of water from the water hose in right to left direction. I glaze up into the heavens and directly to my left, North East direction, I noticed two bright stars, at the moment that is what I thought I was witnessing.

Distances is hard to estimate, but if I were to guess, I would have use my thumb to equate about an inch of separation between each. Immediately I thought, "Damn it reminds me of Orion's belt stars, except one is missing."

As I reached for my cell phone to record what I was witnessing, the two objects began to disappear like the Phoenix Lights incident.

I was shocked and called my brother to describe my experience.

It's now two in the morning and I am heading outside again with quality and strong binoculars made by Steiner.

Thank for this opportunity, something I will cherish and has made me more vigilant.

Ten diamond shape objects floating in the sky.

It was ten at night and the sky was dark shade of pink. We were on a dark quiet neighborhood. We were parked on the towards the south side and I seen an object through the trees. It was brown and a diamond shape. Floating through the sky side to side. I thought it could be a bird or a kite but it was too high in the sky.

Then ten more diamond objects floated behind it doing the same thing.

It was heading towards north and disappeared.

The dogs on the neighborhood were barking and no more than five minutes a helicopter came and went in the same direction looking for something.

as i had submitted in march, again a satelite passing over due south, unnoticeable otherwise, initiates a strobe lens opening, intensifying for 5-7 sec, then fading to unnoticeable. this as though photo oping a given area or zone. altitude unk other than to say at satelite elevation I'm curious, as this was the same observation I reported in March, though I believe then the tract being due north along the same longitudinal path.

Duration: 5-8seconds


Location: Temple City, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

observing sky, northward, slight overcast,usual to observe satelites. noticed a light as a lense, brightening in intensity, like a spotlight, then reducing to off after short time. fading to continue as a satelite.

as commonly observed, satelites pass overhead. on this ocasion, at an apparent altitude for satelites, a bright, intensifying light lense appeared. Increasing in intensity quite bright. not a white light, but more conventional in coloration. after 5 to 8 seconds, the brightness reduced to that typical for a passing satelite moving due north in the sky. Commonly, satelites are observed, reflecting the sun in the evening sky. this was uniquely uncommon.



NUFORC Note:

The report is not inconsistent with the characteristic "flash" that can result from an Iridium satellite.

maroonish orange sphere possibly fireball, completely still, very low, silent

It was the night of the Eaton Canyon fires. I can't remember exactly the date. My friend and I had just seen the fires heading north on the freeway towards my house. When we got there I got out of the passenger side of his car and shut the door. He started driving off headed west as i looked east. There was this gigantic silent maroon/orange/red ball/sphere/fireball thing just fixed in the sky not moving. It was quite low. I was frozen for a second in thought. I actually thought it to be the moon and some sort of apocalyptic thing, although it was not where the moon was supposed to be. I turned around to alert my friend, but he was pulling away. At that point I felt a great fear and kind of panic. I looked at it for another moment and then went into the house and kind of ignored my family. I regret deeply not staying out to watch it or alerting my family. I was seriously freaked out, though! I sat in my room and did just about anything to divert my attention from what i had just seen. Then at about 1:30 AM, i went outside and the moon was just how and where it should've been, which was northwest in the sky to where this very strange object was. I spent that night and the next two days silent and contemplative of it. Everything i could imagine it to be went through my head.

Bright red light.

The object appeared in the northeast sky and slowly moved north. It was approximately the size of the planet Venus (a bit larger perhaps) The light was bright red, if I were to best describe the color, I would say it was a candy apple red.(very bright) The object remained very bright for most of the 15 minutes we viewed it. But it did flicker several times for a very brief period. One of the times it flickered myself and another witness noticed the lights in our backyard dimmed as if the power was about to go out. At the same time, my brother who was in the house, stated the television and cable box had shut off. The object finally disappeared from our view by flickering one last time and slowly faded into the night sky.

Red star-like object in the northeast sky.

The object appeared in the northeastern sky it was a bright red light. It was approximately the size of the planet Venus. It was very bright for minutes at a time and then dim itself to a point where it was no longer visable and just as fast as it dimmed it would brighten. I would describe it as a flickering. At the time of one the flickers, myself and another witness observed the the lights in our backyard dim in sequence with the flickering light in the sky. At the same time my brother who was inside the house told us his T.V. and cable box had shut off. The object moved very slowly towards the north. It moved so slow we hadn't realized it had moved until we all were looking at the object at a different point in the sky. The object finally disappeared from our site after about 15 minutes. It began to dim again and slowly faded from view.

Lights over Mt Baldy California 1957 as seen by ten honest men

About ten guys were eating lunch in back of the machine shop were we worked in Temple City CA. At that time there was a lot of talk about flying sausers. Someone said look up there towards Mt Baldy there are two bright lights, just like stars only its at noon time. We watched them for about 15 minutes and then two jets Edwards AFB came up from the other side of the mountain and hesded straight to the lights. As they approched them the lights started to go to the east aat the same speed as the jets for a few seconds and then sped up to about three times the speed of the jets then disapeered out of sight to the east adn the jets returned to Edwards.

When the lights Started to move they didn't accelerate they just instantly going the speed of the jets and the same when they were going three times the speed of the jets
