Iridescent bubble with dark object inside turned into a golden disk and remained in place for approximately 30 minutes then faded back

My husband and I were in our backyard looking west while it was still daylight around 8:15pm when I spotted a shiny round object that was moving from north to south and looked like an iridescent circle with rainbow colors. Since we are star gazers I grabbed our mounted binoculars that were nearby and took a closer look. It looked like a soap bubble with something in it that was blackish and moved from flat line to cube shaped. I went in the house for my tablet and my husband started viewing through the binoculars and saw it change to a silver then to a metallic golden disk in the sky. It was now stationary. I could see the difference with my naked eyes when I came back out. When I looked through the binoculars I could really see the change of shape and color. It was now a yellow and golden disk that clearly looked like the classic flying saucer; two pie plates connected together. And the center section glowed like how the sun reflects off of glass. We watched for about 20 minutes and then it seemed to move backwards in space and fade away. It was in the same location in the sky, but we could no longer see any details. We took pictures of both forms, but they didn't capture it very well. I ended up painting what I saw.

Shape: Cigar


Saw a cigar shaped object flying overhead had no wings and no audible sound

At 5:30 pm I saw a white cigar shaped object flying over head. It appeared to be around same height as other planes fly frequently over our house. It was white had a black band around middle. It made no audible sound and could not see wings or a tail. It was not far enough away that we wouldn’t be able to see these things. It moved along at around the same speed as other aircraft till it went behind trees and we lost sight. I’m sure this was not an airplane. If relative to a star or the moon it would be the moon. Could see no lights. It was in the east sky and headed north east as best I could tell.

Thought I seen 2 jets ready to cross over each other turned out to be only 1 jet and a UFO that at one point looked like a jet.

In my backyard I looked up very quick and seen 2 jets getting ready to cross I wanted to film it so I grab my phone that was in my pocket and went to camera it took about 2-3 seconds, when I looked back up there was only 1 jet so I started to film it and kept looking for the second one but couldn’t find it, I thought no way could it be gone. When I reviewed what I had I filmed I caught what looked to be a round ball that look to change at different spots at one point it actually looked like a plane, but it was not above the other jet as I had seen in the beginning it was now lower and in front of the other jet and exited at the bottom of the screen.

White dot 70-80 degrees up N/E , clear sky with other objects near and around main object.

White dot on a clear blue sky hovering with the naked eye looked like a white dot/star but thru binoculars it was oval shape, the end towards the sun was bright but as you moved to the other side it was transparent or clear. I did not see any others objects in the sky at that point I was using my camcorder at the same time after the event and when the tape ran out I viewed the tape on my tv and could see the object which looked like a white dot I could also see multiple objects near and around object. When I first turn the camcorder towards the object I had a big glare in the view box I tried to shade it, but it didn’t work so I pointed it in the general area and I did get the object not knowing that I had it I moved the camcorder again think I had a better angle in which I didn’t, I was either above or below at this point but I still was catching other objects zipping around.

After the tape ended I looked at the tape on tv at first I did have it on the camcorder and it looked like a white dot and there were other objects flying near and around it when I readjusted at one point I did lose the object but was in the same general area and caught more objects the main object was still there though I didn’t level the camcorder in till the object left.

A bright white dot in a clear blue sky hovering over or between Turlock and Patterson CA at approximately 70-80 degrees up.

Object was a white dot in a clear blue sky, when I looked at it thur binoculars it was oval shape and looked different then with the naked eye it was white on the edge towards the sun and the rest looked transparent, clear and oval in shape.

I had my camcorder set up, but I had a bad glare so I pointed it in the general direction of the object, when reviewing the chip on the tv I could see the object and other objects zipping near and around the main object I could not see the other objects with the naked eyes or the binoculars. I didn’t see the object leave with the naked eye but I could see it was gone, while in the process of trying to film the object I moved the angle of camcorder which was on a tripod and at one point lost it but was still in the general area and still caught other objects, when I could no longer see the main object I reposition the camcorder at house level and let it run in till the tape had ended. There were no objects at that level only when it was positioned up at about 70-80 degrees up.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette about 11:20 PM. I looked up towards the western sky and saw what at first appeared to be a airplane with a white blinking light moving at normal speed for a plane, but then noticed that the blinking light seemed to jump a substantial distance farther back all of a sudden, I thought that either my eyes were playing tricks on me or that clouds may have been obscuring the lights as they blinked. Then I realized they were not any clouds in front the plane and that the lights were jumping a big distance, then up or across and back, way up to the front in too large of a distance and at the same time I then noticed that I could see a big black shape that was darker than the sky behind it, the under belly of a big triangular craft!!! It was a big black shaped UFO or Stealth Technology plane that I was getting the 1 in 1 million chance to see in my life!!! I Starting hollering at the top of my voice for my wife to come outside to see this thing, she was in the house watching TV with my two daughters, I wasn't going to take my eyes off this thing, so I proceeded to scream for her until she came out to see what all the commotion was about. She was angry because her and the kids thought something was wrong. My wife looked up and saw the lights just as they were going out of sight over the trees. She didn't get a chance to see the lights and see how big the craft was, she was too ticked I scared the kids that she didn't care about the sighting, but she did notice that black huge shape drifting out of sight with the thing! The craft was so huge to make that size of a dark area id was thinking the size of a air craft carrier!!! That made my year. That was my second sighting of a UFO in my life.

I'm 44 and saw a UFO Feb. 18, 2015 and have been looking to see something again so I look in the skies all the time. I'm dying to see and maybe get a photo or a video so I can show people who think I'm plumb crazy! !!!

I saw a large foggy cone with a bright blue beam to my south. The cone went from northwest to south east with a beam from the top point of the cone to the bottom. A small circular craft flew northwest out of the tip of the cone and continued as the cone dissipated. The beam dissipated more slowly and 10 minutes after my initial visual still lingered, though much smaller.

Driving down 311 into Patterson from 22 and I see 3 bright lights that were clearly above the trees on the horizon.

As we approached, we lost sight behing the trees and buildings. We then turn right onto 292. 2-3 minutes later we see just past Mooney Hill road we see the same lights in a triangle hovering a few hundred feet over tue trees, remaining in one spot.

It was raining pretty decently at the time but the object was far below the clouds.

After continuing down 292 for another minute, we lost sight of the object behind a mountain.

fireball seen flying towards earth

Me and 2 of my friends were sitting outside and my friend said look. We all looked up to see a what I can only describe as a fireball flying through the sky.

I got a good look at it but by the time I thought to film it it disappeared behind the tree line and looked as though it was heading to earth.

I almost wanted to get in my truck and go towards it.

Bright light hovering then moving with no sound.

I'm 34 and live out in the country in Patterson.

My mother was over and we went outside to check on my animals and I looked up and noticed a yellow bright object in the south. It was hovering and made no sound.

I began to record it using my cell phone.

My sheep, chickens and dogs became agitated. The object became brighter and then began to move upwards.

At this moment a helicopter flew over the top of it. It didn't budge. Then it began moving towards the north east and the closer it came the more we could make out that it now had 3 lights, and a dark oval outline.

The main light was yellow and the other two were blue. It still made no sound. It was dead silent and flew at the attitude of a police helicopter and flew right overhead but, silence.

During the time we watched it, my cell phone kept shutting down. We watched it until it disappeared behind the orchard.

A single craft of unique shape moving very fast, no sound or vapor trail, very high, towards open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

I was sitting outside in my back yard; it was a clear evening and I happened to see something in the sky that I’ve never seen before. It was a single craft unlike any other to my knowledge, very high, moving very fast but what was different is that it was heading towards the open Gulf of Mexico and not in the usual flight paths for this area, i.e., nothing but the open gulf is in the direction it was moving and it left no vapor trails of any sort.

The only description I can think of as to how it was moving was that it appeared to be like that of a fast ball in that although it moved very fast it seemed to be “shimmying” as it went. The shape was in general like two delta wings hooked together at the apex of each. I’m sorry I can’t give a better analogy but it was unique in my experience.

Three orange/red spheres in alignment; leaving one at a time.

January 1, 2014, 12:10 AM I stepped out onto the back patio to hear the music from a neighborhood party. I immediately saw two red spheres in the night sky. I came in and got my camera and started taking photos. A third sphere joined the other two. They remained evenly spaced and in a horizontal line. I continued taking rapid photos, 15 in all. The spheres appeared to ‘fade’ one at a time but looking at the photos with zoom, they were still in the pictures and seemed they had left ‘away’ from me to a greater distance. The photos are time stamped from 1:12 AM thru 1:16 AM because my camera was still set on Daylight Saving Time. The photos are very interesting when enlarged. I don’t have television so I didn’t hear of other reports. My daughter sent me the activity from your site and so I thought I should report what I had seen and photographed.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Triangle shape object, followed by 2 lights, 1 very bright and the other about the brightness of a star.

I was in my back yard in Patterson CA 95363, looking at the stars, clear night no clouds,I had my flash lite with me and would flash it in the sky every so often. As I was looking up I saw what I thought was a star formation of a triangle, but then I notice it was moving very slow South-East, the point of the triangle was North-East and the other 2 light were South-West, it was very long and there was no noise, or blinking lights all I could see were the 3 lights, as it moved away it dim out, all the lights at ounce.

I flashed my lite at it while it was lite up but I didn't get no response, and it was gone. Then came 2 planes from the East and South-East, one was very loud and the other one was bigger, they made one past and were gone.

I keep flashing my light into the sky but nothing, in till about 6:46 pm, I look to the South-West and there were 2 lights in the sky one was lower then the other and was very bright and it looked like it was directed at me, the other light was higher and to the left of the brighter one and as bright as the stars if not more, there was no noise or blinking of lights. I t made me feel that it came from the triangle, I flashed my light at both of them but I didn't get any response, I even used my flash lite and lite up my roof back and fourth with the light but nothing, they were both just hovering there, and there lights both went out at about the same time. It lasted about 2 minutes.I looked at my phone and it showed 6:46 pm. I didn't see any outline of the objects when there lights went out. That's about it.

Looked up at the sky as I usually do before leaving for work, watched a Triangular 3 light formation moving north to south very slowly in the sky. One of the lights in the formation was flickering but not constantly. All I can say is that this was moving way too slow to be a commercial aircraft or too big to be a light plane. Pointed it out to my fellow commuter and he agreed.

First One craft was a plane and the other object was not, I was in my backyard looking at the stars. When there was a plane comming from the West headed to the East, the object was comming from the North, I could not hear any noise from the object and both objects seemed to be about the same height in the air. When the plane went by and the object was moving South-East there was no blinking lights only what look like a dome in front and it was lite up but not bright where you couldn't see anything of the object, after the plane moved away from the object and I didn't see any blinking lights or hear any noise I flashed my flash light at it with four blinks, no response I did it again and about 1 to 2 secounds the objects light went off, and I couldn't see it against the stars. It didn't leave a trail and I still didn't hear any noise, there was a football game going on to the East of the object so hopefully some one else saw it to. Below the only light was in ! front.

3 lights hovering and flying past the freeway in Patterson, CA.

It was coming at us on the freeway. The driver, myself and another passenger were in the vehicle. We saw 2 lights coming toward us. It looked like a LARGE craft. We could not make out the shape or see the craft itself, but it had 3 distinctive lights and was maneuvering back and forth and from side to side and zoomed off into the dark before disappearing.

If you could connect the dots (3 lights) it would probably make a "boomerang" shape. We could not tell how far or close it was from us, but we all saw it clear as day. No helicopter or airplane could move the way this craft moved, nor did it have any sound.

I have it on tape it not fuzzy, very clear and lasted a long time. And it was very bright for a long time one on the ground and one in

I had my camcorder set up in my back yard, and whenI looked at the tape I could see a point of light. At first I thought it was from a house but then a secound light came on next to the first light then a third light, then they all came together and became a very bright light,in the shape of a half dome. Then off to the West I could see on the tape two objects comming into view, and one came over the top of the one on the ground and as it did it started to become just as bright as the other one. Then the one on the ground started getting dim and the one on top stayed very bright, then the one on the bottom started to get bright again and they just stayed liked that for a long time, I couldn't see the secound one that came in from the West. I couldn't see any features they were so bright. Then the light on the bottom started getting dim, one by one and then you could see one of the lights on the ground move up to meet the bright one, which was getting dimmer, but when the object got to the top one it became bright again and then you could see the secound one going up but I could't see it very well. The third light just went out. And the object hovered for awhile then it stated to become dim again and changed it shape from half dome or round to a thin object like the clouds around it and it gets really long, then it just dissipates. After awhile I keep looking at the tape and I could hear a Jet go overhead, how many I don't know and I watch the tape to the end and could hear the Jet or Jets again. and the tape ended. I have it on Hi-8 Tape, I hooked it to the T.V set to see if I could get a better look, but it was more clear on the Tape. It was also in the direction of a Naval Base. Called Crows Landing Naval Air Base. And also there are orchards and fields in that area also, and some homes, we live close to the edge of the city. The camcarder was pointed South-East.

That I lost sight of them when they were still pretty close to where I was standing.

I was watching the the shooting stars, when I saw 2 dots flying almost next to each other but one was a little behind the other,I have seen this befor and assumed they were satellities, then I saw a third dot ahead of the other two flying a little bit to the left of the outside one. (They were going South from North). Most of the time I can see them for a long way off from were I'am standing but when these went just past the top of my head I lost view of them I should have been able to see them for a long way off they were pretty bright. There were no color lights or blinking, that's about it. And I couldn't see them any more, if you put a dime with your arm streched out they probably could all fit that's how close they were.

On 6-07-05 around 10:00pm there was a Jet going over head leaving a long trail at first I didnt think much of it, but I had my Camcord and the Jet was pretty far away so I tried to zoom in on it and to my surprise with the naked eye it looked like it had only 1 exhast, but when I zoom in it showed 2 with a blinker in the center that,s what it look like. While I was watching it go South to North along the West coast I saw a little object fly behind the Jet or Plane going up at around a 45degree angle and it was out of view in around 5 secounds while the Jet or Plane was still there for another 20 seconds or so,it was still going North West. I do have it on my Camcord.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Landed

Ball of light,similar to the Brown Mountain Lights.....in Patterson.

My cousins and myself were driving to band practice when we saw a ball of light come over a mountain top,one of my cousins jokingly remarked it was a UFO which could be possible as the ball changed direction rapidly(Going straight up,then diving at the ground) it stayed near the mountain top and did a few more manuevers(Darting left and right,and at one point it seemed to land on the tree tops) before it darted behind the mountain out of view. It moved far too quickly to be a plane,or helicopter. This object reminded me of the legendary Brown Mountain Lights,but we were not near Brown Mountain,or Linville Mountain(The obsercation point of the lights) we were below Blowing Rock.

On May 21st from 8:35pm-8:55pm, Me and my wife were in my backyard and our moon was at half full, on the dark side of the moon towards the lowere left side there was a point of light on the edge of the moon. You were able to see it with the naked eye, as the moon went across the sky the point of light stayed in the same place from were we first saw it. I video tape the object, it did not move or changed in brightness I called my brother in-law who lives about 30 miles away and ask him to look up at the moon his first reaction was that it was a star, but I told him it has been in the same spot for about 20 min all-ready. I did not see when it went away or bliked out when I look up again about 8:55pm it was gone. If anyone could help me out on who I could show the video to that would be great. Thanks



NUFORC Note:

We suspect that the light may have been one of the bright planets, which currently are very prominent in the western sky during the early evening. We will look at the video. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 48183
Occurred: 1998-06-11 18:15 Local
Reported: 2005-12-05 21:03 Pacific
Duration: 5 min
No of observers: 2

Location: Patterson, CA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Just before Dusk I saw, 50 feet from my car a Flying Disk that had two Rings Rotating around its main body. It was trully awesome!

My girlfriend and I were driving home to San Luis Obispo from Chico California on day and spotted something flying in the sky a quarter of a mile ahead of us. We were headed south-bound on highway 5 parallel to the city of Patterson, Ca.

The sun had just gone down and there was still light out when we noticed a flying object over the highway headed toward us. It had flashing lights on it and its movments resembled that of a helicopter..at first. The object began to descend from above the highway of north-bound traffic into an area over an aquaduct. I turned my head to see where the flying object was going. The flying object stopped when it was parallel to us and changed course, flying at the same speed as us. When I finally caught a good look at it, I realized it was not a helicopter at all, but an obscure shape with lights rotating around it. It was a wierd sight. I didn't know what I was looking at. I intended it to be a helicopter, but it was not. My girlfriend was shocked. She pointed at the object with her mouth open and her eyes wide with awe. Her harm blocked my view of the road, so I slowed down to about 45 miles per hour. I turned my head again, and examined the flying object further. I realized at that moment, next to our car was a FLYING DISK with two RINGS rotating around it, one ontop of the other. The Craft was comprised of an approximately 25-30 foot long disk with the color of gun-metal silver. The shape was not round, but more oval in its length-wise, with a rounded off pointy tip. At the end of the disk was a smaller disk apparatus of the same color. Its length was appox 10-12 feet.

After seeing this I slowed down the car to roughly 25 miles per hour. The Flying Aircraft then began to speed up and rise into the sky. It flew above the northbound highway and stopped in mid-air appox 200 yards ahead of us. My girlfriend was panicking. The Flying Disk then began a perfect diagonal decent to an area above the south-bound highway 5. I remember the crafts movments were so perfect, as if the craft was in another world, uncontrolled by gravity. The movments it made, made me sick to my stomach. They seemed very unnatural to me. I began to cough. After the diagonal shift downwards to the side of the road, the craft stayed there for a moment and then made a perfect upward movement approximately 35 feet straight up into the sky. (I am sorry, this experience is very hard to describe). We were driving very slow and there was no traffic infront of us. A few cars could be seen in my rear-view window, but they were about a half mile behind us. There were oncoming cars going northbound, but they were atleast 3 quarters of a mile away. Then the Flying Disk with rotating Rings made a perfect opposite movement towards the ground. Its movements were that of a mouse icon on a computer. It moved very unnaturally and fluidly. I slowed the car down to approx 15 miles per hour and we watched as the Flying Disk hovered above a grassy hillside. My girlfriend scrammbled for her disposable camera she brought with her on the trip.

There was still light out, so the whole examination of the Flying Disk was unobstructed. I noticed its shiney body, and rings that had becons of lights on them. It was a marvel to whitness. It was the most awesome piece of machinery I have ever seen. This is when, under further examination, I noticed that the rings were huge metal looking apparatuses rotating around the disk. But there was something I could not intend to fathom, they were not connected to the craft by any bars, cooks, anything physical. The first ring closest to the Flying Disk was rotating at a 45 degree angle to the ship. The second ring rotated around the first ring 45 degree's to the ship counter to the first ring. This was trully an amazing sight. After about 10 seconds, of examination, we were parallel to the Flying Disk. This is when I began to rise upwards about 20 feet straight up. Again its movements, made me feel ill-at-ease. After rising approximatly 20 feet, a bright light lit up from beneath it. It permiated the ground and I saw dried grass sparkling underneath. I was trully in awe. Again, I was shocked by something that could not be intended by modern physics. The light was not attached to the aircraft by a light bulb. The light (similar to that of a hallogen) began from a point approximately 5 feet below the craft. It was as if it was a hallogram or something. Whatever the craft was doing, it was obscured by its awe-inspiring looks and movements. We kept our speed and moved on until the Flying Disk was out of sight behind us. A mile ahead we saw a police car in the middle of the north-bound highway with its sirens on. The police car was traveling approximately 5 miles per hour and was evidently there to stop traffic from passing. Every light I saw for the next 145 miles, I thought it would be another Flying Craft, the same Craft that I saw before. For a least a month I tried to explain to people what I saw. But the words would not come out of my mouth as I intended to voice them. I was completely spellbound by the awesome sight of that strange Flying Disk with Rotating Rings around it. The object made no sound. A detailed drawing of the becons of light, shape of aircraft, can be offered upon request. My girlfriend was unable to find her disposable camera, which was later found just beneath her feet under the passenger seat.

It lit everything like daytime ..car stalled then it was 3hrs later

It was June 1998. Coming home from a concert. I was 8 months pregnant and with 3 of my friends. When we saw it ..it came on really fast. Lit everything like daytime at 10:30pm. Then my car stalled..we were so scared. The car came to a stop with the craft hovering. Then it was 3hrs later and we were 30 minutes from where any of us last remember being. All with a headache. We all spent years not talking because we thought people would think we were crazy. We are not!

As traveling North on Route 22, NY approx town Patterson, my son and I had stopped to see this object with colored lights, traveling very slow, hovering and at that time many other cars stopped on the hill to observe.

Then all of of a sudden it took of going North at a very fast speed.

I have been trying for years to retrive newspaper articles on the event,even contacted Patterson Libary, micro files, no luck. Also logged on to UFO Sighting's.

Hope you can come up with information.
