Large Circular Structure hovering over south Riverside

Traveling on the 15 South from Limonite to 2nd Street in Norco. Looking towrds the south-east, probably over Cajalco between the 15 and the 215 I saw what looked like a huge (mothership) in the sky. It had a bright circlular light in the middle and five or six lights on either side. You could make out a large circular or rectangular structure. Since I was driving, I couldn't look at it for my detail, but it was very large and hovering at about 10,000 feet alltitude. By the time I got off the freeway, I could no longer see it.

Saw large commercial jet not moving, just floating in mid-air.

For the second time about a month I witnessed from the spillway on I-10W (near New Orleans Airport) a large commercial jet just floating in the sky, 100% not moving. No head wind issue just hovering in mid air. The first time I had just picked up my wife at the airport. Since January we have been followed from dusk till dawn every night no matter where we go even if we’re apart by these orb objects that sometimes looks like a star or possibly a drone. Have no propellers and make no sound just float. Some are very high, others are much lower and sometimes have an amber colored light. The lower ones follow us in the car, pop up over the tree line in our back yard in Ponchatoula, sometimes try to hide behind trees. Crazy, I know!!! I’m assuming these experiences are related. The second time way May 15th same place, this time a coworker was with me. This time a took a photo (came out very strange and nothing like what I was seeing) then a quick video that unf! ortunately doesn’t accurately capture what we saw.

2 craft, 3 days in a row.

In my back yard working when I just happened to look up. Going over my house toward the swamp, were 3 cylindrical objects cloaked in what looked to be shadows. Close together, no sound. I yelled at my husband to look but he didnt see it. The next night, this time sitting on the back porch, both me and my husband were looking toward the levy at sunset and we saw a green ball of light drop from a cloud and float toward the tree line. It bounced back and forth a few times and then sunk into the trees/water. The next evening, around the same time as the two previous experiences, my husband and I were working in the yard when my husband say hey come look at this...hurry. I ran over and looked in the direction he was pointing in and there, once again, were the same 3 cylindrical shadows gliding silently across the sky. It was really close. It looked like it was right above the top of our huge oak tree. And then it was gone. Not to return. There was a kind of static in the air during the first and last sighting.

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

In Nov. 08 there was a giant ring around the moon and at the bottom of the ring, the vapor began to disinigrate and I observed 2 round objects on opposite sides of the ring around the moon fly down to the bottom of the vanishing ring and actually fly back and forth and fill in the vapor of the ring. Also that night, I myself and two other adults observed in the western sky, a blue-green large object that just came down from the sky and sat in the lower sky for at least 1/2 hour. It would totally fade out, and then light back up. It was unexplainable. I also see lights that fly around in the clouds that almost look l;ike spot lights, but there is no begining or end to these lights, no place of origin as you would see with spot lights. Anyone else seen anything like this in Riverside??? thanks all.

fireball heading NE (towards Naval Weapons Center) in Norco

Fireball moving in what appeared to be a NE direction- towards the naval weapons center in Norco. We were in our jacuzzi and looked up to see it cross the sky- watched it disappear over the rooftops towards the NE. Had two bright tails of orange/yellow, with a red center to the tail, and a bluish body. My husband saw something similar late January, heading to the west over the 15 freeway in Norco.

Location: Norco, CA, USA

Shape: Light


Single blue-white light traveling westbound at high rate of speed banking turns above Santa Ana River.

I observed a single blue-white point of light moving at a high rate of speed traveling in a westerly direction at a perceived altitude of approximately 600-800 feet. I immediately pointed it out to my wife and we continued to watch the object make a wide banking turn from left to right and then back to the left again. It then continued west until our view was obstructed.

Our first observation was that the only thing visible was a single, bright blue-white light, which dimmed very little even when we last observed it until approximately 3 miles away. No colored or blinking lights could be seen from the multiple angles from which we observed.

My first guess was that it could be a helicopter, but the speed was seemingly far too great for the perceived altitude, I could identify no other lighting, and the peculiar brightness of the object as distance increased.

The object may have been following the Santa Ana River toward the ocean.

I am an amateur astronomer, computer specialist and NASA volunteer.

My wife has no observing background.

Hazy white lighted object seen from aircraft

Was flying as a passenger in a vintage aircraft at about a 5000 foot altitude westbound above south Norco after leaving Riverside airport. The time was about 5:30 PM and the sun had gone down but it was still fairly light out.
We were just southeast of Ontario International Airport preparing to cross over the main runway enroute to Cable Airport in Upland when I spotted a light directly ahead of us to the west. The light appeared to be a rather dim white color similar to a mercury vapor street lamp. As it closed in on us it was obviously headed eastbound and I could then see that it was very hazy and diffuse in appearance and displayed lighting quite unlike any standard aircraft lighting. The shape from the front seemed rather like an oblate spheroid as in a ball squashed in from the top and bottom. It was clearly moving very slowly as the closing speed was not great and we were flying at about 100 kts. The pilot then radioed in to Ontario air traffic control inquiring about other traffic in our area. ATC came back negative - no traffic nearby. The pilot shot back that he had traffic ahead at his altitude and requested a course deviation to avoid collision. Before ATC could respond the pilot started to take evasive action breaking right just as I watched the object shoot by about 300 feet under our nose. I could see it very well as the bottom wing (aircraft was a cabin biplane) was small and set far back. The object was perfectly round very dimly lit and diffuse or hazy appearing with a diameter of no more than 10 to 15 feet. It was clearly solid as no ground lights shone through it's structure. I was amazed by what I had just seen and asked the pilot what that was. He came back sounding quite rattled with "I don't know son. I just don't know." We crossed over ONT and soon landed at Cable. As we exited the plane I again asked the pilot what that strange light was. Sounding evasive and upset he just said he didn't want to talk about it so I just left it there. This man was a 71 year old retired TWA captain with thousands of logged flight time hours over a long career. Based on his troubled reaction I got the feeling that this probably wasn't his first encounter with something anomalous while flying.
