Appeared glowing orange at first until the lights went out. A gray circular or square rotating object hovered over us. Me and my son were walking our dog over the bridge overpassing the City College Station (WB) by Sacramento City College.

We stopped to see if we could get a look at the Pons-Brook comet but no luck due to light pollution. However, I noticed a glowing orange orb coming towards our direction (West to East) just above Land Park which is adjacent to the front of City College (Freeport Blvd area). As the object got closer to us, the orange light appeared to go out completely revealing a grey or silver like sphere-like object rotating while moving.

As it (zoomed slowly) or hovered right above and pass our heads. It was far away but closer to us than a normal aircraft would fly so I'd say about 100 feet up at least. It went right past us towards Highway 99 (going pass it) and disappeared into the night sky.

The orange light never came back on, so we followed it by eye the best that we could. I thought it to be a drone of some sort but where is this drone operator? And it was a silent.

2 separate sightings over the course of 90 minutes My wife first noticed colored lights in the southwestern sky about 45 degrees from the horizon. Was definitely over the Pacific because LAX is between me and the ocean and the planes were significantly closer than the light. I am 10 miles as the crow flies SW to LAX.

Looked through binoculars and couldn't get anything but light. It was round and went randomly through all colors of the spectrum. I was able to catch the colors in a video I took on my iphone.

They're all pretty blurry but the colors are visible in each of them. There are also airplanes in the videos to compare. I drew a sketch of what I saw.

It looked like the shape of those 1950s sci-fi ufos at a 45 degree angle with spoke like arms that looked like light refracting from a gem. We contacted our friend who lives about 6 miles northwest of us. He confirmed that he saw the light and the colors with the naked eye.

The light remained in the same position for approximately an hour, then it moved what I assumed to be further out to the ocean as the light grew more dim and lower in the sky. We could see the object in the same location for the same period of time. We ended our video call.

It had not yet disappeared when I left the window at 11:15. Then, at midnight, I looked out of the window again to see if there was anything out there. I saw another multi colored light in the sky, this time WSW and further up in the sky, closer to 80 degrees from the horizon.

Through the binoculars it was a diamond shape. It had one bright light in the middle with 4 spokes. Each spoke had 4 individual lights, getting more faint as they moved away from the center.

The light in the center was white, the spokes were white and the full prism, like light dispersion from a prism. I saw it first, gave the binocs to her and then asked her what she saw. She said a diamond.

We each drew a picture and they were very similar. I saw that for maybe 5 minutes, so I think the entire period of the sighting was probably 9:45p - 12:10a PT. Last looked at 1am and the light was gone.

On a stargazing trip with 3 NASA scientists, a cluster of objects repeatedly flew overhead. Two close friends and I joined a stargazing trip led by NASA scientist Gary Blackwood. He was using a high powered green laser pointer to give us a tour of the constellations.

Suddenly, a group of gray ovals passed directly through it, lighting a couple of them up briefly as green. Their formation was loose and looked like a check-mark; it wasn’t entirely clear at first that they weren’t just a rogue arch of balloons. It was hard to see how many there were but I’d estimate 7-10.

When asked, Gary commented that it was either balloons or a UFO. I watched as it flew from east to west at wind-speed towards the moon until it disappeared. Just before it did, however, one in the center flashed a quick white light, like a star.

Kimberly Miner, a fellow NASA scientist observing from a picnic blanket on the ground, began to excitedly talk to fellow scientist Carmen Blackwood, who shared the blanket with her — she was convinced what we just saw was anomalous. I approached her and mentioned the flash and we discussed what we saw. That’s when they passed over again in the exact same flight path.

This time, it appeared as though there were 7 or 9 moving twice as fast and in a perfect v-shape/triangle. I can’t explain why but I had the distinct feeling they were trying to prove they weren’t just balooons. As it got closer to overhead, they became one line.

Once again, they were caught by lazor pointer briefly. Kimberly also saw these, saying she’d never seen anything like it. A few minutes later, they returned to fly the same flight path—east to west—in a new formation - 8-10 orbs in a symmetrical cluster, VERY clear and just a little bit closer this time.

So clear, that when Gary suggested it was drones, Kimberly corrected him, “That’s a UFO, Gary!” This began a discussion of what everyone else saw and the reasons these were clearly not drones. 5 minutes later, it appeared in its 4th and final formation; just 2 objects appeared flying down the same path, weaving slightly closer and farther apart as they did - it almost felt playful. Only a handful of people, myself being one of them, were still looking and saw this.

An onsite photographer attempted to capture them on video but it was too dark; nothing showed up in playback.

It was 2005 and we were driving hwy 5 155 miles north of LA and we saw these crazy lights ahead of us and when we caught up to it it turned out to be a black triangle. It followed us for thirty minutes and then got behind us and then we snapped out of a haze. We had been the only ones on the highway.

But when we snapped out of our haze the hwy was crowded with traffic.

Saw two lights that look like bright stars, much higher than planes, moving in straight line very quickly in near opposite directions. While sitting outside looking up at big dipper at our camp site, not far from an airport so any planes are relatively low, we saw two objects which would appear like stars, but closer. One was not as bright as the other or looked as big.

The brighter traveled from North to South in direction while the other traveled more in a south eastern direction. There were no flashing or oscillating lights and to make things really exciting, a plane also flew in our field of view to really show the difference. Given the apparent height, the speed must have been incredibly high as it was much faster looking than the lower plane.

Both objects travels in a relatively straight path. Sadly, though my phone was in my hand, I was too excited to think about trying to record it.

I was in my front yard when the first UFO looked like a comet moving in ways I’ve never seen an aircraft move and then faded After the first sighting a couple minutes past when a second light fell from the sky then got bright and moved in ways I’ve never seen toward the east. 6-7 more followed in less than 2 minutes. I told my wife to watch.

That’s when three fell from sky and came together forming a triangle shape that traveled west and faded one at a time. About 15 minutes later a few more fell one at a time and traveled in different directions before disappearing at different times. The last I saw was what looked like a military size aircraft the flew silently over my house with no sound and only a bright light before completely disappearing from site instantly.

Not a cloud in sight that night.

I did not see the UFO with my eyes but the noise is unlike I’ve ever heard before. I was woken up at 11:59 pm on 4/10/24 to a very loud sound that lasted about 15 seconds. My house rattled and the noise sounded like a bunch of chains being dragged on the ground mixed with static electricity.

I couldn’t believe it at first until I opened flight radar and saw no aircraft in the area. This is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my life and it really freaked me out. I am also currently on vacation as well.

A dark gray disk at least 100m wide flew over head as I was driving I was driving on the 101 coming from Oakland to Belvedere when I saw a dark gray disk fly extremely fast overhead. It had a slight swooping motion where it dipped and rose but only was in sight for a few seconds. My windows were up so I didn't hear any sound.

While my wife drove with me as a passenger, W/B on the 210 Fwy. My Wife brought to my attention a flying object heading north east off to the right of the Fwy, about 3 to 5K feet high. The object was reflecting the sunlight off , of what appear to be a silvery metallic fuselage on the left of the craft, however, the rest of the body of the craft was invisible as if made of glass.

( picture, if you will, similar to the fuselage of a P38 airplane seen from behind.) The shape appeared to be a thin wing with two booms crossing the wing, it had three circles under the wing , one at each end of the wing and one in the middle between the booms . Each circle had another circle inside with a light blue glow in between the inner and outer circles .

The size of the craft was as big as a Boeing 777. As it flew , it was banking right at about 25 degrees with a high nose pitch. As it kept on banking right, it began to slowly disappear from left to right until it completely vanished in a very clear sky.

We continue to try to look for it but there was no sound or exhaust or heat trails . It just vanished in thin air.

This light in the night sky was slightly larger than the stars but much more brilliant, constantly flashing multiple colors. My wife and I witnessed the bright light from my house shortly after 10:00 pm. It could easily be mistaken as a star but it caught our eye because it was a much brighter white and seemed to manifest colors like looking at a diamond from afar.

When viewing it through my 10x50 field glasses the flashing colors were much more brilliant and we were certain this was not a star. I continued to watch it with amazement for approximately 30 minutes. I checked on it some time later and it was still there.

Then, shortly after midnight I looked at the sky again and it was not there anymore.

Bright white light at first. Twin lights eventually with strobe on the left of them. White lights Seemed to look like Venus to me at first.

Continued driving up 5 from I think willows between Orland. As I approached the light, I could see it was 2 lights closely spaced with a strobe on the left. They were white lights.

No green or red like you see with a plane? I couldn’t find a place to pull over to get a better look; once I past them I just kept going.

Saw unk shape object just darker that the surrounding sky. moving north I was out walking. Looking at plane contrails when I saw an object that became dark then changed to a color just darker than the sky.

At first, I thought it was a small cloud, but its movement was against the direction of the wind. Had it not shifted in color I wouldn't have noticed it. After its final color change, it was hard to see but its movement was noticeable.

Almost like it was cloaking. I watched for a few seconds as it traveled to the north but got lost in the clouds and I was no longer able to see it. I was on the sidewalk looking towards the Sierra Nevada.

It was a fairly clear day with a few clouds to the east. The temperature was about 55-60 degrees. There were lots of contrails from commercial flights.

The local airport (Mather Airfield) was pretty active today with lots of military aircraft and lots of smaller private aircraft. This object that I saw was to the east, but I'm not sure how far east. possibly anywhere up to 50 miles away.

The object appeared from the right to left directly in front, then stopped mid-air. Was low enough to see shape and lights underneath. I was stationary at the traffic lights on the corner of Monterey Ave and Highway 111 (in between the Mall and Walgreens) at the front on the line, left hand side (there are two left turning lanes), waiting to make a turn onto Hwy 111.

The sky was dark and I noticed movement in the sky from the right to the left, so that the object was almost directly in front of me, but up high. There are always planes in the area due to the airport and I didn’t think anything at first glance, but the object stopped in the air and that’s when it caught my attention. As I focused my attention more on the object (trying to figure out what it was, like a helicopter), it moved enough towards my direction so that I could see from underneath that it was triangular / boomerang shaped and there were round, green lights.

I think there were 3 green lights on each of the arms of the “boomerang”. The object was still quite high in the sky. I was trying to grab my phone to take a picture but the traffic lights changed and I couldn’t get to it in time and had to make the left hand turn.

The time would have been between 7.19 - 7.23 pm on Sunday 17th March, 2024.

I was in the car alone, but there was a car beside me on the right, also waiting to make a left hand turn so there may be another sighting at the same location. If I had to guess the location of the object relative to the ground, I would estimate it was in alignment with the Living Desert Zoo, but on the right hand side of Hwy 74, over the housing area there.
