A line of approximately 20 moving stars

I noticed a line of approximately 20 perfectly aligned star objects moving south to north over my house. They were at a very high altitude similar to a satellite but moving at a faster speed. I called my wife out of the house and she witnessed them also. The transit lasted about 1 minute before going away. I have seen satelites passing overhead before but nothing like this. We really did see this.

White rotating elongated object with ability to “shape shift”.

It was solid white. Looked like a small plane with no wings at first. Flying at high altitude. Did not show up on flight tracker program. I started filming it. After it passed over the house from the backyard, we ran out front & it disappeared. Reviewing the footage & zooming in, it had an aura around it. It was clearly spinning in a rotation. It looked solid, then rotated into what looked like a burst of energy cloud, then an aura, then gone, but you could still see like a dissipated smokey look with an oval appearance. Then it went back to a solid appearance and repeated this 3 times that we could see in our footage. So in the rotations it had the ability to change. When enhancing a still shot, the front had a purplish spot. Another was in the middle and the backend was shaped like a house front. /\ shape roof with = shape under. It looked like one row of square lights lined the pitch roof looking area and two rows of square lights were on the bottom. It ! was very distinctive within the cigar/oval shape aura surrounding it. It made no noise at all. It was completely quiet. My 7 year old grandson spotted it first. When we were trying to enhance the footage to see it closer the laptop shut down on its own, twice. It was approximately 8:37-8:38 pm on July 5, 2021.

Ball of bright, white light 4-5x larger than a star tracks accross the sky for 2 minutes and shimmers out and vanishes before horizon

My wife and I go on a half mile walk around our neighborhood every night after dinner. As we finished our walk and were returning to our driveway around 8:15 PM, I am enjoying the view of the stars for the first time in weeks, as there has been terrible smoke cover for over a month due to the wildfires. As I'm looking south at the stars, I noticed one of these stars is moving across the sky. It looked JUST like a star, very bright, white light; however, it was 4-5x larger than a star typically looks. We observed carefully as it tracked overhead for 2-3 minutes; there were definitely no flashing lights or any changes in the brightness; however, it did appear to veer from side to side changing course several times (although this could have been imagined, I don't know for sure). About 75% accross the sky towards the opposite horizon, the light begins to shimmer into more of a reflection, and slowly vanishes in clear view, long before reaching the horizon. While! I am not saying that this was 100% a UFO, I am confident it was NOT an aircraft, missile, or satellite. It had no flashing lights, red or white; it made no noise, and was WAY too high to be a helicopter. It was dead quiet out, and if it was a plane, we can always hear their engines several seconds late. I will say that I do have a personal interest in UFOs, so it may be a confirmation bias; but at the same time, it was a very strange light that I've never seen anything like before, and did look very similar to other videos I've seen that made a strong case for being a true unidentified flying object.

When checking off Characteristis below, this triggered a memory; about 2 minutes before seeing this light, i noticed an airplane with solid, yellow lights on the bottom in a triangular shape. I made note of this to my wife as it seemed odd to see a plane in flight with solid illumination lights on the bottom like this, in addition to their flashing red/white traffic lights. I am not sure if this is related or not but figured I should mention. It was travelling in the same direction as the ball of light, about 1-2 minutes before the ball of light was seen. This plane did not make a noise either (I guess we can hear planes if they are low enough/increasing elevataion? Must've been at cruising altitude but strange to see it close enough to make out these details and not hear it).

Large blue dome structure appearing during lightning storm and then disappearing in the next stroke.

Early in the morning around 3:30 am August 16th, 2020 after seeing from our living room the lightning storm light up the sky outside behind us we go out onto our balcony to watch the storm. As we exit onto the balcony we notice the clouds are making very strange geometric patterns and as the lighting storm continues and becomes upon us there is one short burst of light reminiscent of the Northern Lights immediately followed by another burst of the same color light that exposed this massive dome structure in which we could very clearly discern the edges of the craft and the height in which it reached into the sky. My roommate and I were both immediately hit with this immense feeling of fear which made us not only brace but bring each other in closer. The structure was not visible for longer than a strike of lightning would last and after it hit our neighbor came out onto their balcony but did not seem to notice us. My girlfriend who also witnessed it didn’t feel the same sort of fear that my roommate and I experienced. She seemed to be completely unaffected by what she saw which makes us believe that my roommate and I were possibly abducted then placed back in what seems to be absolutely no time at all. Which would also in our perspective explain as to why our neighbor did not acknowledge or notice us even know we had been talking rather loudly. After the structure made it self apparent and then left we did not seem any further signs and in the next few minutes the geometric shapes in the clouds no longer seemed to be there. None of us who saw the structure or spacecraft are alien deniers but we did our best to convince ourselves that what we saw was just an unusual lightning phenomenon but after a few hours and some reflecting we all came together and decided that what we saw could not have been an unusual lightning event.

2) pulled over the car with son to watch. now only one light left. extremely bight like it would be a very large meteor, but seemed stationary. Then moved low in the horizon.

My husband and I saw what appeared to be a large, glowing red object in the sky. It was very high and very far away. It was completely still for about 10 seconds. Then it flashed on and off, then back on.

Then it moved very quickly side to side, then off again and disappeared.

We saw a large airplane in the same area about 4 minutes later.

I was awake feeding our 3 month old, when suddenly a bright & large colored orange ball flew up from the horizon. It was moving smoothly and quickly, and within a matter of seconds was joined by a second ball.

I put on my glasses, & woke my husband so that a second person could witness the object as well. He seemed as astonished & perplexed as I was. The 2nd ball caught up to the 1st. The seems to hover at the same height for a few moments, then the second one vanished.

The first did more of a shrink, or slow fade until it seemed to be nothing more than a small, red, pulsing star on a descent.

Finally it disappeared altogether. No noise accompanied the sighting.

A few minutes later an aircraft flew by across the night sky, with its usual blinking wingtip lights.

Based on the aircraft's position & size, the balls of light flew much higher into the sky & were much larger.

Blue/Orange bright lights filled the sky

It was raining the night of Mar 5, 2014, (Wednesday) and through our bedroom window, we saw 2 extremely bright lights - the first being bright blue/cyan followed by orange light. We saw the lights in East direction..

It was like the whole sky was filled with these colored lights. The sequence (approx.) was as under: 1. blue light - 2 secs 2. orange light - 1 sec 3. 30 sec delay 4. blue light - 2 secs 5. orange light - 1-2 secs

Don't remember if we saw any for the third time. The lights were nothing like seen before.. extremely bright...

1st we thought it's lightning, but the colors were so vivid, it couldn't be lightning.

Three irregular shapes flying in close proximity in Walnut Creek, Ca.

On 23 Jan 14 at 0740 my colleague and I witnessed three unidentifiable objects fly near Walnut Creek Ca.

The three objects first appeared to be three small helicopters flying in formation up the 680 corridor from Pleasanton toward Walnut Creek. As they made their way north they made several irregular deviations in their flight path. As they became closer (15-20 seconds), they broke formation and began rotating around each other in very close proximity. Every so often they would move back into formation for a few seconds and then begin the rotation again. We continued to speculate that they were aircraft and witnessed the sun reflecting off flat sides as they spun.

We monitored them until they left our field of view, which was no more than 60 seconds of total visibility. During that time, they must have traveled approximately 6 miles before turning skyward with a heading of north northwest.

The best description I can think of is the following: Three similar sized shapes approximately ten to fifteen feet in length with at least several flat sides, which explains the sun reflection of their sides as they rotated about. They also did not appear to ever be more than twenty feet apart the entire time.

Their flight path was very irregular and they moved between sixty and one hundred knots and maintained an elevation that was fairly consistent at about twelve hundred feet until the end where they shot skyward.

It was oval/disk shaped object, brilliant white aura, moved slow, stopped, appeared and disappeared, got 4 photos

I saw an object in the sky that was not behaving like a normal aircraft. It was moving very slowly, and appeared to stop for brief periods of time. It was an Oval/disk shape and had an aura of bright white light around it, that occasionally shot of short beams of white light. It was a totally clear day, blue sky, with absolutely no other aircraft, or clouds in the sky. It also seemed to appear,disappear, then reappear, becoming dark, and then brilliant light and aura. It took me several minutes to figure out what was going on, then I ran and got my camera. But the camera didn't have a card in it! So I had to go back, get a card out of the package, turn camera off and on, and then go back and refocus-this process took me about 7 minutes. When I took the photo the object was further away, and I had to wait in between it's disappearing and appearing. I managed to get 4 consecutive photos, and sometimes when it reappeared it seemed closer and then further away. I sit on my deck quite a lot, and I've seen a lot of aircraft,blimps, etc. But this object was very unusual. I hope the photos are good enough to be magnified and analyzed, allowing identification of this object.

Circular object in No. CA streaking towards Mt. Diablo State Park area

My wife and I had just returned from a local trip when we noticed something moving in the Eastern sky. We immediately saw a bright circular object moving at a high rate of speed from the sky towards the ground (best guess is that the object was 2-3 miles away, headed towards the Mt. Diablo State Park area at a 45 degree angle). Object appeared as a very bright green circle of light surrounding a relatively dim red light, made no sound, and disappeared after only five seconds.

Bright "searchlight" as the sun set

Two friends and I were at the Unity Center in Walnut Creek about to go into the sancuary when a strange "searchlight" caught our eye. It was very high up and looked similar to a helecoptor searchlight, yet many times brighter and there was no motor sound. It weaved back and forth slightly. As we watched it, a small plane flew through the beam and was fully illuminated by it. The beam of light was intensly bright, yet diffused over a broad area. At the end was a bright, indigo blue line of "smoke". Another friend came rushing up and said she had seen it from her car where she watch it move straight up with the bright light at the back of the craft. As we watched, the light suddenly dimmed and dissappeared.

The blue line remained bright and visible as the sky dimmed with the setting sun.

Bright moving object high in the sky. Changed intensity as it moved.

I looked almost straight up and saw what I thought was a star at first but it began to move slowly. It was about as bright as Venus at first. It then increased in intensity and picked up speed. It then lost some of its intensity but it’s speed stayed steady. I told my girlfriend to look, but just that quickly it became really dim like some far away star. I thought this was strange, as I didn't know satellites to change intensity and pick up speed. Also, I lost sight of it as it dimmed until I could not see it. The whole experience could not have been more than 10 seconds..

One orb, followed by a jet, followed, in turn, by another orb. I am not certain exactly when this happened.

I was taking an evening walk in a rural area outside the city when I saw what I first thought was a fast moving artificial satelite (although it seemed a bit low for a satelite). Then I heard a jet. I looked and saw a fighter jet come over the hilly horizon. It was following the light in the sky (going the exact same direction as the orb of light). Then I realized that the orb of light really was quite low and small (it could not have been larger than a VW beatle based on the size of the jet following it). Both jet and orb disappeared over the hilly horizon. I wondered "did I just see an ET craft?". Then I thought to myself "insuffient evidence for that conclusion" and a couple seconds later another identical looking light moved through the sky in exactly the same direction as the first. There was no jet following the second light.

Last night in the northern sky, I saw 2 bright lights. A golden amber color. One ws comming from the northwest, and the other almost intercepted it from the north. The one that was comming from the north was moving at first, then it stood stationary for about 5 min. The other light was moving slowly towards the south, Over Walnut Creek. Then the light that was stationary started to move. It just started to move straight up in the air. And then moved south. It must have climbed for about 5 seconds, but in that 5 seconds, it moved upward until it was almost a small light, then, it moved south. Both crafts had no sound, they had bright yellowish golden lights, and when they flew over head, there were two other lights on either side of the bright light. The bright light was in the shape of a star. It had points on it.

Might be landing lights on an airliner. Just a guess. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 5579
Occurred: 1999-02-13 13:30 Local
Reported: 1999-02-14 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Walnut Creek, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Left a trail

Aircraft from SSW to E at extremely high altitude at extremely high speed, crossing visible horizon in 8 minutes, so high that shape was unsure despite 8x25 binoculars. Airliners commonly seen in Bay Area bear no resemblance in height, speed or perceived shape (trinagular). Seen 3-4 months earlier on same course, but then ascended so high it eventually left no contrails, and returned 15 min later, descending to level to create contrails. On 2/99 sighting, aircraft left two distinct, parallel contrails, despite fact aircraft itself could not be seen even with binoculars.

I was a young child and had very scary nightmares and now I have realized they were the result of an abduction.

This isn't neccessaraly a sighting, but rather an abduction experiance. The only way I can remember my abductions are the dreams (or awake memories) that I am left with. I was about five, and the dreams lasted for 1-2 months. I drempt them in strictly black and white and a disturbing double vision. Besides that, I can remember being in a dim room laying paralyzed on a table. I tried to move my head to see something but was unable to. My eyes were able to move, but not my head. I can't remember any feeling in my body, so I don't know if I had clothes on or if I was laying on a metal table. I assume it was metal. I saw two of everything so my vision was very poor. I felt a presence so I continued to un-strain my eyes and lift my head, but I was unable to. I remember a celing probably 6-8 feet above me and a wall about 9 feet to my left. It was plain and didn't look like sheetrock. I tried so hard to look around but my vision was limited. These dreams lasted over a period of 1-2 months, from what I can remember just about every night. I have read information on characteristics of abductees and the majority are true with me. There's a friendly ghost in my house, I've experianced several missing times occations, etc. I really think something's happening, like I'm picked for a duty and I need help figuring out what that duty is.

I have not reported this before. I feel it should be recorderd somewhere. My friend and I used to take time-lapse photos of the stars and he was a member of the Civil Air Patrol. We were in the backyard and watching for meteors when we saw a "star" traveling from the north horizon to the zenith. It was approximatly the same brightness as Vega.

It was very high and traveling very fast. It was at a very high altitude or very small.

There was no sound. The most important part of the sighting was that when it reached straight up from us, (almost perpendicular), it made a 90 degree turn.It did not slow down, it did not describe an arc, it made a pinpoint turn like you would draw with a triangle on paper. Given what we knew at the time about aircraft and the "g" force that would be experienced inside an aircraft, it scared us back into the house. I have never been able to forget what we saw and I have yet to see any human technology that could do what we saw. I swear this is true and hope it might be of some interest to you. I can't write this in one sentence, sorry.
