Shape: Circle
Explanation: Planet/Star - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects

Almost every night. It definitely hovers high above

So almost every night the past 2+ weeks. My guy and myself see this circular/oval object hovering east above Strathmore. We had some binoculars and took a closer look and it definitely has some blinking lights and it hovers left , right, up and down. There is also a smaller circular object that stays near by the bigger circular/oval object. At first we thought maybe a planet, maybe a satellite, but no this is something beyond that! It literally moves left and right .

So also just last night I was looking at the object from my bedroom window, maybe about 10 minutes just watching it. And all of a sudden there was a quick flash of light on my front porch. It scared the crap out of me. Mind you I live in the groves with only 1 neighbor and it was definitely not them.

I was thinking they are on to me watching them closely . I never was so scared in my life I actually started shaking .

Scary. You can contact me for more information. Looking for anyone with a good telescope who wants to investigate.

COLORED LIGHTS VERY HIGH IN SKY EAST OF STRATHMORE/PORTERVILLE, CALIF.

I was out at night and noticed what I thought was a star to the east (MAG 72 DEG). But, it was twinkling different colors. It was very high, appearing to be over the sequoia Nat'l Forest. It was hard to make out with binoculars, but did have some sort of spherical or cylindrical shape, and numerous colored lights. I saw nothing listed on the local Aeronautical Chart. Saw the lights again tonight. The first observation was actually 3/10/20. I saw the lights again on 3/27/20 and 3/28/20. I took some long distance photos. They almost looked like balloons with lights, and were constantly changing the objects shape. The lights did not change location or altitude.

Shinny Cigar Shaped Object Hovering

On July 15th, 2016, a bright sunny clear day, at about 1:25 pm, while driving east on Sandra Ave and Oak’s St in Tulare, Ca. I looked up and saw what at first I thought was a helicopter at about 3,000 to 5,000 feet high. I asked my wife to check it out? What as it a helicopter? Just hovering there not going nowhere? Then my wife and I got to looking at it closer it was just sitting hovering over on the same place the entire time. We noticed it did not appear to have wings it was cigar shaped shiny silver-blueish in color.

I notice it appeared to have like a glass dome over the top. But it had no wings.

After watching if for about a minute it just disappeared. In front our very eyes.

There was not a cloud in the sky and clear and sunny about 96 degrees.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Two flashing lights, possibly pursued by a very silent and bright aircraft.

We were parked in a car next to an empty cornfield taking when I caught a light out of the corner of my eye. The light was approximately ten to fifteen miles away. As I watched, the light moved laterally, left along the horizon. I told the person I was with to look, and she also watched as the light reversed direction and started moving right. At first we thought it could be a helicopter, but then the light started moving left to right in a speed and manner that was unlike any helicopter I had ever seen. As we continued to watch, the light got significantly brighter and the started to rise before completely flashing out. We watched the area for a little while longer when the person I was with spotted another object. This object moved very similar to the other one, and we continued to watch both. The flashing of the lights was actually very similar to what I have seen certain planets do on a clear night. They would flash from red to white to blue and then co! mpletely disappear. Shortly after both lights flashed out we observed another light coming fast from the south of our position. We watched and listened but could not hear any sounds from what I thought was a plane due to the tail lights. This third "plane" had one bright light at the very front and two lights to the rear and left and right respectively. It was completely silent, but was not flying at a height altitude like commercial airliners. After we saw the "plane" go over us towards the direction of the lights, we both decided to get back into town.

Formation that change direction and disappeared.

I am a patrol officer and the past two nights I have seen strange objects on the sky. The first was in the eastern portion of the sky and I saw there were 6 red/orange objects in a line running north to south. The first 4 disappeared quickly after I noticed them but the last two remained for about one minute. The one to the north disappeared order and the last one ascended and disappeared.

From what I know there was at least one call to my dispatch about the lights. I didn't really even believe what I had seen until I heard of the other call. I heard some loud whooshing but I don't believe it was from the objects because they were too far away. I tried to film it but you can only barely make out one speck from the distance I was recording from.

The second I saw the same looking objects but there were only 2. I caught them moving out of the corner of my eye. I saw one drop quickly from the sky below roof line and the second ascended slowly then zig zagged once then disappeared. I did not hear anything on this occasion.

Because they were changing from red to orange and back and because they disappeared quickly, I believe they may have been flares but their movement makes me curious about it.

June 7, 2008 I saw an unexplained object in the sky over Tulare, CA on June 7, 2008 at 9:10 PM. It was a round object of amber color. It was hovering over some houses to the east of my home. It slowly progressed in horizontal fashion, and then stopped. It again started moving, slowly, then again it stopped. Suddenly, when an airplane was approaching, it shot straight up and out of sight. This occurrence has happened before. Over the last month, I have seen many of these objects. During the day, there are silverfish orbs hovering in daylight. Sometimes there are three or four at most moving together, other times they are spread apart in the sky and then come together and move in unison with one another. The groups move forward and backward, then suddenly disappear.

I went inside my house to get a camera and when I came out my friend hollared at me and told me that it stopped in the sky and that it was just glowing. I seen it and started taking pictures of it but then realized that I had no film in my camera so i just used the flash from the camera to try to get its attention. After flashing twice with the camera's flash it was responding to use with flashes the same way we were flashing at it. It then moved closer to us and kept flashing even when we didn't flash back. We could see an outline of the ship it was diamond shaped and it had no windows it had a glowing bottom that pulsed with yellow and whitish tint. It made no sound and it just kept flashing at us 2 times. Then it speeded away at incredible speed to where it just disappeared.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Large Carft sighted in Strathmore/Lindsay Calif. in May 2002 with large panel lights.

On the night of May 28th 2002, I was sitting outside stargazing and invited my girlfriend of the time to come outside and view the sky.

As we sat and watched the stars we noticed approx. 3 to 4 military jets going from porterville, ca. heading north when reaching hwy l98 and then returning to porterville and continuing this cirle at which time an aircraft like a C140 joined in this picket fence. Id say they were about 5000 feet up.

This went on for at least a half hour. We were between strathmore and lindsay calif. towards the foothills. At approx l0:05 pm we were gazing to the northeast when my girlfriend noticed exceptional large lights in the sky approx l/4 mile up the the air. The craft flew within a 1/4 mile from us to the north and was approx still 1/4 mile off the ground. The craft stopped directly north of us. It stood still (hovering as some would say) but no movement. No noise at all. Again no movement from the ship with the exception, the large panel lights. I assume the panel lights (rectangle) went all around the bottom of the ship but we observed 3 and l/2 of these. The size of each panel light would be approx a little larger than a double wide mobile home. These panels were strobing at a slow strobe. Their were additional lights on this craft, but because of the exceptional purity of the lights i focused on the panel lights. These were light red in color and stayed light red untill after a minute the craft started moveing towards the west. At this time each panel started turning purple from the outside going inwards, towards its center. Again these were still at a slow strobe. Since this purple didnt appear untill the ship started moving I can only say this must tie in with the flight system it uses. Again the clarity of these lights would make normal light look dull or muddied. As it moved to the west I ran to the road west of her house and ran north because of a tree blocking my view. As it flew at a very slow rate of speed 30mph? I was able to view it much clearer from the horizon of the west. The craft was boomerang shape in front and as i looked from the ground to the ship about three times I would be able to say it was approx. 3 football fields long. Very large. When my girlfriend and I later compared our experience she said it was like a six sided cut ruby shape, So i can only assume it changed shape, (perhaps the reason it sat still for the minute above us). Although she was able to make out the shape when it was north of us I was not since she sees better than I. I am sure of its shape as it flew west but only its front since it was at night l0:05 pm. I can say that the dogs for miles around barked all nite as we retired at 4:30 in the morning were still barking. This is in the country so one can hear quite a ways. I have since moved to Three Rivers, CA. I have found two other witness's and they were with others. They said that the center of the ship was clear and that they could make the stars out. Either a force field, something like glass or clear plastic that one can see through. I didnt observe this because of the ships position from us. Ive heard that others also seen this craft in our area but have not met these people. I assume that the military did set up a picket fence to observe it, whether or not they saw it I cant say, since it was low to the ground and they were much higher up. We did call Lamore Naval Air Station, and they stated they didnd have anytthing up at the time. We also called National Institute of Discorvery science. They called back the following morning wanting to know the pattern of the strobe. That I couldnt give them. I can only say that each panel strobed slowly and indepentantly of each other. Many people say they have seen a UFO. I can say I saw an Alien Space Ship. Very close to us for such a large ship. I would be willing to take a lie detectors test. I stand by what I saw and Im sure the others that ive met and saw it would do the same. Two additional facts to report towards this is that NASA was tracking a an object of unknown size and material that went a third of the ways between the earth and the moon that night and orbited back out to space. Haveing no where else to log it, it is labled Asteroid 2002 KG4. I couldnt say if it in any way was related to the craft I saw. Additionally a friends fiance, spotted a small alien craft near woodlake at about the same time period near a reservoir in woodlake calif. Again I stand by what i saw and was not intoxicated in any way.

Location: Tulare (close to, on I-5), CA, USA

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

We were driving north on Interstate 5, around Tulare,CA. We saw something flying in the sky with three big lights, like spotlights. The craft was rectagle shaped. It did not appear to have a tail or a front, though it did have 2 small red lights on the side. It swerved in the sky,going up(not too high) and dipping almost to the ground over the empty fields then it flew over the interstate low to the traffic. Turning around and doing the same thing on the other side of the interstate, again crossing over low to the traffic. It did this 4 times then we drove past it. After about 5 minutes we saw the craft again in the field to the left of us, again swerving up and down toward the ground then it crossed in front of us, turned in the field and headed towards the car flying just over the length of the van. We did not hear any noise coming from the craft. The color of the craft seemed dark other than the lights showing. We saw only the one craft at a time.

Full description is the same as the short description. Witnesses were a mother and 13 year old daughter who were quite mesmerized by the experience and kept trying to follow it. We did not stop, nor did other vehicles around us. The second time when we saw the craft, when it came towards us we were the only vehicle on this section of the Interstate.

Not a light in the sky, this was 30 feet off the ground and we watched it for 20 minutes, it was covered up.

Leaving friends house I saw a bright orange glow in the distance. A rainstorm left the sky clear, and the glow was obvious against the cloudless horizon. As we drove toward that location, we slowed and witnessed a "craft" hovering above the treetops. It was silent, yet clearly rotating behind a veil of "orange brightness".

Turning directly toward it, the headlights swooped through the treeline, and exposed a mist of sparkle. Shining through this mist, the headlights raked the glowing object.

There was a sudden compression or jolt of air,(a soundless "poof" best describes it), and the craft slowly began to glide away across the treetops. Glowing cinders, much like tossing a log into a burning barrel would emit, rained down as it moved. Gliding approx. 30 yds, it took off at a 45 degree angle upward with such incredible speed that a second or two it mixed with stars. It suddenly burst a bright blue and disappeared from the sky.

Within minutes a Highway Patrol appeared behind us. I believe he was also witness to the event. Taking our names, he informed us that we did not see anything, and let us drive off.

Arriving home, a minimum of 15 patrol cars were seen entering and sealing access to the roads. As we exited the car, stepping into the driveway felt much like squirming out of molasses. It was a wierdness that lasted until morning when disbelief set in.

Revisiting the scene in daylight revealed nothing other than the strangeness of an empty horse pasture.

A very large, dirigible shaped craft gliding slowly over the field next door.

It was very early on a warm summer day. My brother and I were sleeping outside in my parents back yard on a couple of hospital beds. My dog woke me up whining and jumping trying to get up onto the bed. The dog then looked up at the sky, yelped and ran for her dog box on the porch and jumped inside. I looked up to see what had bothered the dog and there was a huge craft that at first I thought was a dirigible. The sun was just coming up to the east over the Sierra Nevada's and I was facing west where the object was. The first rays of the sun were being reflected by the shiny metal skin. The object was about very low---probably no more than 1,000 feet high. It looked like an old dirigible without the basket under it. The craft appeared to have five tail 'fins', again no basket under it and no markings. It made a low, grumbling noise like a jet plane sounds at some distance away--but steady, no undulations or variations in the sounds. I would estimate the length at about 400 feet, and the diameter about 100 feet.

Anyway, my brother and I are just gaping at this huge object that is gliding ever so slowly over the next door neighbors pasture. I decide to run in to wake up my parents-- who refuse to believe what I'm telling them is outside. I run back outside and just get out the back door and my brother is telling me 'hurry up---it's starting to really move!'. I run out in time to see the thing accelerate at an incredible rate (without any change in the sound) going west, and just wink out of sight.

I thought then, and I still do, that the object behaved as if it were lost. It acted as though it popped into existence to check its' bearings and then took off again. It's the only UFO I've ever seen...…

I was 12 yrs old. I was camping in the back yard with 2 friends. Sometime during early morning with a full moom I woke up and I was already sitting up. The sky was clear and lit up by the full moon.

I was looking south at same time I woke up a disk shaped object was moving eastward in the sky approx 450 yds high and approx 200 yds away from me its size was approx. 1800 sp ft. disk shaped with a dome with what I thought were windows at the time with bright yellow light coming from the windows ( I have since determined that the windows were heat vents and the yellow light was a high voltage} It was gold in color and at a 45 degree angle. Now here is what really caught my attention. Out of the bottom (which I could not see) came out 2 different color ( I thought) plasmas one gold or copper and one green around the edges of the plasmas (big blob shape) were looked like roots of trees on both blobs I could see thru each of them they pulsated in opposite resonances for approx 1 minute then stopped the disk shot away at remarkable speed at the 45 degree angle (in the blink of an eye) Since I was 12 yrs old grew up on a farm I had no idea what that thing was nor did I know what a space ship was, but that has stuck in my mind for years I have since discovered that the green plasma ( I thought) was in fact the same as happens at the north pole with the lights a photon or free eletron is traveling and come in contact with a strong magnetic fields flux line and is speeded up and becomes a fast photon or electron and hits an oxygen atom and gives up a green color which is visiable the copper color I have not figured out yet but must be a secondary electron transfer since I suppose the ship was charging itself someway. It made no sound I have not told but a few about this thanks
