We were followed by this craft until we went to it and made contact

It started when we were done with our hike and we spotted a bright white light hovering in the sky. We felt this vehicle was watching us so we walked to the other side of the property and the vehicle moved to the opposite side of the sky once again remaining stationary. The light began to flash and 6 other objects began flashing red with it in the vicinity. Then I watched the ufo turn its light off and back into the sky blending in. As it got later we continued to follow this object to a dark area where we then seen a light hovering behind the trees, we continued to to approach this location that we were being drawn to. Once we stopped that’s when it happened, we made contact. We could feel their presence all around us and could see the silhouettes standing there. We initiated contact with them and they touched us to let us know they were there. We then looked up and seen a craft fly right over heads slowly letting us know they were there. Also, there were other crafts flying in a bouncing motion in the area. In conclusion, we had seen over 6 alien crafts and made contact with these beings who brought us to the forest.

I remember looking at the clock and it being either 8 or 10 pm on Oct. 18 2019. I had been up for two days unable to sleep for some reason. I guess I must have laid down and went to sleep after seeing what time it was. I do not remember going to bed. When I woke again it almost 6 am on Oct. 19 2019. I found two tear drop scoop mark scars on my left leg. They were new. My eyes feel sunburnt. I'm physically ill. My body is so sore I can barley move. Have sharp pains in my left ear. And a tingling sensation in the back of my head.

Two VERY fast and hard to miss UFO's at Yosemite National Park in Slow Motion.

This is cellphone footage from a friend of mine out west that was sent to me.

He was filming the landscape and making funny "blinking eye" motions over the phone camera for comedic effects. He actually did not notice that he captured a video of a UFO until later when he was doing a slow motion effect to his footage. He told me he couldn't see the object at all at normal speed.

The first object appears flying through the sky and slightly banking to its right extremely fast (even while in slow motion) and completely silent, the second one is barely visible but it appears shortly after the first one from the top right and continues to the top left, near the end of its flight path the footage returns to normal speed and if stepped forward you can see it start to ascend. I noticed that the second one sort of wobbles as it flies, like a balancing plate.

We were both in the military together and agreed that as far as we knew, our aircraft technology hadn't gotten so good to be THAT fast AND SILENT at the same time. Originally we thought there was only one UFO in the film until somehow I spotted the second one. It's tough to spot and easy to miss.

Large silent ship leaving behind a green sparkly dust that hovered then shot into space

A large silent ship hovered right above the tree line in Yosemite, 2 lights, and left a green sparkly dust behind it. I watched it float off into space at a quick speed. The lights were in the front, one facing the ground and one straight ahead (have a photo of it). We (my mom and I) were driving out of Yosemite toward Merced but still in the mountains on a thin road between the trees. A few cars around us but nowhere to pull over. The ship was as big as the trees.

Now I believe we are not alone on the planet

During a way back from Yosemite, my friend and I saw unknown object on the top of the mountain. We cannot take a picture.

At that time, I drove back to hotel. I am not sure what city is, but I drove from Yosemite to La quinta hotel in Ripon city. I used GPS to go there. The object has a orange light on the bottom. My friend and I saw 4 circle lights. The object is similar to half circle with a light on the bottom. \

We stopped a car and looked back to the object but we could see it because it was in behind the mountain.

I am not sure how to explain. I saw during a turn. You can imagine the highway on the mountain. It has a lot turn. I am sure it is not an airplane. I am very excited.

It was a brillliant white diamond or cube like 3 deminsional shape that then suddenly changed into a yellow sharply defined circle like an iris of an eye or the appiture of a camera. Then suddenly it shot out in 4 perfectly geometric (4 directions ) laser sharp very thin lines (4 in total) of a seafoam green looking almost pale neon type light accompanyed by brilliant white looking lightening like white lights from the iris looking image center then it went dark. It was very high up in the sky clearly in space, it was silent, and it very much left me with the impression that it had taken a picture. The iris portion of the shpae it had taken from the white image it first appeared in was a warm yellow while the green lines were cool and unearthly in appearance. I cannot explain it, it happened sometime roughly around 11:30pm.

bright oval object in Yosemite

I was sitting with some friends eating about 10 minutes away from the entrance to Yosemite (from Hwy 49) when I looked up into the dark sky and saw this oval shaped object moving across the sky from my right to left into the park. I didn't look like a plane (no flashing warning lights) and there was no sound. It was eluminated in a white glow (not to bright) but very clear. It keept moving towards the park and all of a sudden it disapeared (it was like turning off a light).

Eariler in the day we were up at Glacier Point and before leaving we saw many people (15-20) with telescopes that were planning to stay late into the night. I'm sure someone else saw this object.

Four Triangular UFO s sighted over Yosemite last year one craft was Very large and transperent.

Camping up on Yosemite last year about 7,000 ft elevation,the night was clear and cool around 1.30 a.m. when we were just about to turn in for the night and we see this bright blue flash south of our campsite.Next we saw one VERY large triangular craft appear after the flash and then two more flashs but not blue this time northwest of our campsite and two smaller craft appear and then a fourth craft appeared southwest of our campsite this one being the largest and almost transperent,we could see the stars through the craft.At this point we were very frightened and there was no noise from the craft and the animals around the campsite and your normal forest sounds had gone silent.The four of us went into our truck and armed ourselves and decided to leave when we saw a very bright red flash and looked out the truck windows and the objects were gone and so we packed our camping gear and headed home very frightened and confused.We have talked of this incident between us but always have different recollections and timelines of the event.



NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. We would very much like to receive reports from the other three witnesses. PD

Slow flying very bright ball of light, surrounded by a much larger halo of light, trailed by miles of zig-zaging smoke.

On September 19th, 2002 I drove through Yosemite Park, California from west to east. It was about 7:45 pm and it was dark already. I noticed something very bright in the sky, and I thought it was a full moon. When I looked up I noticed a strange looking very bright ball of light, surrounded by a much larger ball of light, followed by a zig-zagging trail that was several miles long.

I live 5 minutes away from JFK airport in New York, and I have seen planes take off, fly, and land in all kinds of weather and lighting conditions, and I have watched many TV documentaries about missiles, the space shuttle, etc. but I have never seen anything like the "UFO" over Yosemite Park. The object slowly flew from west to east, from the Pacific towards Nevada and seemed to be in a slow ascend.

I slammed on the brakes and stopped my car in the middle of the road, grabbed my camera and began to video-tape the object. After a few seconds I stopped the video-camera and tried to take a photo with my digital camera. Unfortunately the flash was on, so the picture came out pitch black. While I tried to figure out how to shut off the flash, the light in the sky slowly disappeared. The bright ball and the huge halo slowly dimmed away. Only the long zig-zagging trail remained.

I video-taped for a little while longer and tried several more times to take a photo, to no avail. I continued to drive east towards Nevada. About 30 minutes later I noticed red and white blinking lights from 2 or 3 aircrafts that came from the east (I assume from the nearby Nellis Airforce Base in Nevada aka Area 51.) and continued to circle above the area.

NUFORC Note:

Probable report of missile launch from Vandenberg AFB. Please see other reports for this time and date. PD

Chevron Shape craft trails formation of military jets across Sierra Nevada Mountains.

On the evening of August 8, 2001 at apx. 10:15 pm my girl friend and I were looking at the night sky while camping at the north shore of Saddlebag Lake (elevation: 10,000 feet)-- located apx. 7 miles North of the Tioga Pass entry gate to Yosemite National Park, and apx.15 miles West of the town of Lee Vining, CA. The sky was clear,and moonless. We witnessed a formation of three "military fighter jets", displaying normal navagational lights, and flying at apx. 15,000 feet on a due West heading. We clearly heard the familier sound of their engines. Trailing the formation of fighter jets (at apx. the fighter jets 8 o'clock position)was a quite large "Chevron Shaped Object". We were able to see shapes quite well, as the OBJECT and the Jets were being backlit by the starlight of the "Milkey Way". Using the fighter jets size as reference, we estimated the OBJECT size to be 100 yards from tip-to-tip of its Chevron Shape. The OBJECT had three "white colored" lights -- one at the apex, and one at each end(or wingtip)of the "Chevron Shape". The OBJECT did not display ANY OTHER navigational lights. The OBJECT matched the jets air speed and seemed to move more like a glider than a powered aircraft. The OBJECT and the jets were observable for apx. 2 minutes. My girl friend and I are very familier with the air traffic in the Tioga Pass area of Yosemite. There is a major East-West commercial air traffic corridor that follows the trace of Tioga Road (HWY 120). The steady stream of air traffic is quite familier and predictable in this area. Military flights are also quite common in this area. The flight path of the OBJECT and the three military jets we observed was south of and parallel to the commercial air corridor that follows Tioga Road. Neither one of us have ever seen an "aircraft" the size of the OBJECT we saw. Both of us are highly trained and experienced professionals (Health Care and Photojournalism) with keen observational skills and are certain of our observations that evening.

Eight of us were camping in Yosemite saw a large black triangular craft,only four have good recollection of sightiing.

Eight of us were camping about the 8,000 ft elevation in Yosemite and had just returned to our campsite around 10.00 p.m. and had decided to stay and pack our stuff,because the next day we were leaving.At about 2345 all eight of were still up and noticed a very bright flash to the north of us.Thinking it was just a comet or somebody turning on their highbeams we didnt think much of it.Five minutes later we noticed the surroundings had gotten quieter {no more frogs or cricket noises}and then we saw a very large black tiangular craft appear from the north and hover about 300 yards above the tree line and then shoot of to the south.Strange thing is that it made no noise and even though very large but was very flat and only four of actaully remember it vividly while the others have very vague recollections.

Watching 2 fighter Planes fly across sky and then saw a bright Craft with 2 bright lights on both sides, when 2 planes came close, it dissapeard in thin air.

We were on Half Dome mountain and were watching 2 Airforce Jets flying across the sky, we watched them for 1 minute untill we noticed what they were headed for, it was a bright light just over the setting sun in the west, the sun was real low in the sky, almost halfway showing. When we saw it we all were astonished, then after the quick glance we realized it was an aircraft, it had a light on each side of the craft. It looked to me like the star ship enterprise from star trek. It was facing us in the sky headed our way, about 1 mile away in the sky (est.) When the jets got real close to this craft, it disapeared out of thin air and the jets kept flying. There were no clouds and the craft never made a noise, we listend later to every plane that was even in a further distance and we could here them, but never that craft. The jets were loud at the time, but we don't how long that thing was there before we saw it. We waited for it to appear again but never did.

A group of lights in darting flight pattern (impossible to be from earth) over Yosemite, seemed to be aware of my watching.

I was at an elevation of about 10,000 feet in the NW region(I think) of the Park. I was laying on the hood of my car gazing at the clear night sky. I noticed a very small light that was clearly too high to be an airplane. I thought it might be a sattelite. But it was then joined by several others. The most bizarre aspect was that they darted around in different directions in a manner that is seemingly impossible. I am not sure of the number but as stated above, it was 8-10. The most exciting part of the event was that, after I watched for several minutes, I got the feeling that the objects were aware of my presence, (even though they were miles above)! It was a comforting feeling. And after a while, they disappeared. I returned the next night to see if they were there again. A smaller number of them did in fact appear, but the duration was only a few minutes. I have never reported this before, officially. I was inspired to do so after hearing Mr. Davenport on Coast to Coast AM. Thank you for hosting this site.

Close Encounter With Aliens and a UFO

What I am about to tell you will sound amazing but what i will tell you is total true. When I was about 6 years old I went on a capming trip with my Dad to the Yosemite Forest in the summer. On the last night of our stay I was outside eating while my dad was asleep when i heard a nose like no animal coulds have made. It was a loud humming sound. I thought it was a car engine but it didn't stop. I then took my flash light and went out to find the sound, being the little dectivce I was back then. It took me about 25 to 30 minutes to arrive at the source of the sound. I was looking over the side of a hill and saw it about 30 feet below me, a egg shaped UFO. Needless to say I was shocked! It seem to be about 40 feet wide and 60 feet long. It had strange colored lights coming out of what seemed to be windows and a opened door of some sort? There was a odd mist coming from below it that was yellow in color and the sound seemed to be coming from that area, I suposes it was the vent from the engine of the UFO and the source of the sounds I was hearing. I then looked over the object and then was able to see to my astonishement 3 Greys! They where about 3 feet tall, very skiny bodies, oval heads with black eyes, 3 very long fingers on there hands. I was one of them, that I now believe must hav been he leader ativate some sort of silver sphere in its hand. The sphere then lifted off the grey's hand and hovered near a dead Ox and then shots out a red ray and started to cut the Ox open. I then started to get very scared and back away as I did a rock feel off the hill and hit the top of the ship leaving no dent, but the 3 greys look at me. I will never forget how dark they eyes are, it seemed like the where looking right into my soul. I then ran as fast as I could away. I got lost in the woods and as I stopped to take a rest I heard foot steps! I then his inside a hollowed out red wood tree. H cryed and prayed whatever was out there would just leave me alone. As I hid I heard no! ses that I still to this day no not to be human or animal could make. The next morning I was found by A hicker and his family.

A black circle eclipsed the stars as it hovered over our campsite. It had no lights and made no sound. It appeared to be aprox 40 to 100 yards in diameter. It was seen by myself and my friend as we were laying on our sleeping bags looking up at the stars. We both saw the same thing. It moved very smoothly and stopped for about 30 seconds directly over us, then hovered back in the direction of it's first sight.
