California UFO Sightings in 2005

Full Report Text:

White orb seen over Quincy, California at 6 PM December 31st, 2005. Duration: 2 to 3 minutes. At about 6:00 PM my wife and I came out of our barn and saw a light in clouds to the west.

The light was white and could be seen dimming, and becoming brighter. The object exited the clouds, growing slowly in brightness until it was in the clear starry sky. The slow brightening of the object showed how low the object was.

A jet would have instantly appeared. This object was in the low surrounding clouds. The object traversed from west to east, at about a 40-45 degrees above the horizon.

We were facing north north west. It had no blinking lights. It was white in color.

The brightness remained constant upon exiting the clouds up until it disappeared into another cloud blank to the east. The object made no sound. It was very quiet out.

Our property had just flooded and we could hear wate trickling 50 yards away. We waited a few minutes but heard no sounds of a jet or a Cessna. I looked for an exterior structure around the orb as it passed across the many stars.

The stars remained constant. It was only a sphere with a slight haze surrounding it. The speed was consistent with a jet at 30,000 feet, and much faster than a Cessna.

We live within 3 miles of the local airport, so we are familiar with their night time speeds and flight patterns. Thsi was not a Cessna. The object also had what I call a "bob and weave" motion to it.

It did not fly in a completely straight trajectory. It seemed to have a slight bounce to it, though not noticable unless it was in close proximity to nearby stars. I am very happy with this sighting.

It is the first time that my wife and I have seen one together. The entire event lasted about 2 to 3 minutes.

3 objects were seen in formation cross in other with quick movements. After about 2 minutes of viewing, they just disappeared. 3 objects were spotted in the sky that seemed to behave in a weird manner.

They were flying in formation but seemed to cross each other as they were moving forward. They were round, almost oval in shape. There was no sound.

An airplane was in sight but going in the opposite direction. They were visible for about 2 minutes. The other strange thing is they did not just continue out of site, they just disappeared.

I was playing golf at the time at Meadowlake golf club in escondido, ca. I was standing in the 10th fairway looking towards the green, the objects came out of the N/E direction and went in a N/W direction.They did not have any wings or tails like normal aircraft.

I live close to Camp Pandelton and see formations of helicopters quite regularlly. These objects were moving about in their formation too quickly to be considered helicopters.This is my first witness any strange objects that I cannnot explain.

Strange light in the shape of a teardrop, slightly orange in color I lying in my hammock in my backyard at approximately 1:47 on December 26th. It was raining very lightly, but just below the cloud cover I saw a strange orange-ish light in the shape of a teardrop. Now, I thought this was very odd, because while there is a small airport near my house, it was a cloudy night and I couldn't imagine any small plane flying that early in the morning in such poor weather.

The light wasn't moving, and I watched it for about 15 seconds before I ran inside to grab my video camera. It took me about 3 minutes to prepare the camera inside, and by the time I came back outside, the rain had intensified and the light was gone. I could hear no distinct noise from it, and had no strange feelings or emotions during or after the incident (other than excitement, obviously).

I am convinced it was a UFO. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

2 tight grouping's of lights going West to East about 30 mph at about 1000 ft and 100 ft . first sighting a tight group of lights at about 1000 ft traveling about 30 mph from west to east directly over and parallel to the street I was on. The second sighting about a quarter mile behind except at altitude of about 100 ft.

The lights were attached to something not distinguisable as it was dark. I got out of my vehicle to look and could not hear anything.

Full Report Text:

First one oval bright light was flashing at a steady rate and rose to a hight of about 20,000 ft when it turned into two bright lights My wife and one other male person from work were standing in the parking lot and I first noticed a bright flashing white light at approx. 75degrees to northeast. When I first noticed it was only one flashing obect which kept going in small circles and was flashing at a steady frequecy of about 1/2 on and 1/2 sec.

off. I would say that it was at first approx. 15,000 ft.

and rose to another 20,000ft. when it split into tolights of eaqual brightness. Both lights then rose anoth1 or 2 thousand feet when they disapared.

I have flown Pipers and Cessnas since I was a youngster so I am pretty sure about the altitude. This was not a peice(s) of alumium foil since the flashing stayed at a equal rate of time and when it did split into two flashes they were both flashing at the same time but flying away from each other. When they both reached approx.

22,000 ft. they both stoped flashing at the exact same time. The lights looked oval in shape.

To day12/16/2005 Friday at 7.15 pm; together with my wife we think we saw an ufo. The location is Valencia Avenue Placentia Ca 92870 USA.

If you have a reasonable argument, please give us an idea. The machine was a square shaped very well lit, like a christmas ornament. Very briliant and very fast.

We tried to follow it with our eyes in a radius of 1 mile. First we thought a plane was falling down, then we saw that it slowed down, then took off again. We thought it may be a model plane but we have never seen something this fast before.

It went back and forth a couple of times then disappeared into the darkness.

Full Report Text:

Large triangle of wht. lights, one red light in the middle, standing still in the air over the freeway. There was one light that was spinning around the ship.

There was three wht. lights in the shape of a triangle (one at each point), one red light right in the middle. The ship was not very high, in the sky.

It was about as high as a plain that is about to start landing. This took place in the night, there weren't other lights around ( like street lights) There wasn't a lot of star's out that night. Later is seemed as if there was 2 to 3 more, in the sky, moving around.

But they were much higher in the sky. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Fast Moving White Light Across Los Angeles. The object appeared to be a shooting star, but lasted way too long. It was moving extremely fast and the light emitting was an intense white.

The object moved from a northerly direction to a southerly, and lasted approximately two minutes. Only other guess is that it was a missile from Vandenberg or JPL ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Meteors are not visible for two minutes.

Witness may have intended to report an evening sighting, but indicates "08:45." We have amended the time above to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD)).

Full Report Text:

the three light rotated and changed colors and shape the object appeard as three bright orange lights then it flashed on both sides. the object began to rotate. after a few minutes it apeaered in a triangular form where it seemed to meet up with a white probe like object.

the probe circled around the object then left. the original object began to travel at a high speed for about twenty minutes then it came to a stop as a bright orange light. after ten minutes the object flashed again and move until we lost track of it.

after the main object left we began to see strange lights in the sky.

IT WAS SEEN FLYING IN THE CLOUDS WHILE IN THE BACKYARD OF SOMEONES HOME THEN WE FOLLOWED IT TO THE FRONT YARD. AS WE WATCHED THE CRAFT IT STOPPED THEN IT BEGAN TO FLY AGAIN. IT WAS BRIGHT ORANGE OR IT HAD A BRIGHT ORANGE GLOW TO IT, AND AS IT GOT FURTHER AWAY, IT BEGAN TO SPEED UP, AND IT EMITTED SOME KIND OF BALLS OUT OF IT RESEMBLING FIREBALLS, BUT IT DROPPED THEM ONE AT A TIME ABOUT THREE TIMES IN A ROW.

THE BALLS WERE BRIGHT ORANGE ALSO LIKE THE OBJECT RESEMBLING FIRE. WE WERE NOT SURE WHAT THE BALLS COULD OF BEEN, BUT THEY WERE NOT LASERS. SO WE WATCHED THE CRAFT UNTIL IT DISSAPEARED OUT OF SIGHT.

AND IT MOVED IN A CIRCULAR MOTION AS IT FLEW. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

Huge flash of light and then 4 UFOs enter into our atmosphere At approximately 7:20 pm my friend and I got into the hot tub to enjoy the cool evening before going in to eat dinner. 10 min later as we were both looking at the western sky I saw what appeared to be a huge flash of light in the sky - literally reminded me of a worm hole effect. When the light subsided (approximately 10 seconds or so) there were (4) UFOs that came in one right after the other.

Moving extremely fast they came in and were in a group - then one moved to the right and took up a position not far from a star.the other three moved to the left and spaced themselves evenly apart and also became motionless at that time. They went from being very bright to almost fading out completely and then they would all start to come into brightness again.

A type of synchronized strobbing was taking place with these (4) unknowns. We watched for approximately 1 hour. 3 disappeared altogether from our sight as they went behind the tall pines in front of us.

The 4th stayed in place not moving - just changing in brightness from time to time. The interesting thing about this was that the 4th unknown moved with the night skyline. If we had not seen these 4 unknowns come into our skyline from the flash of light, we would have thought that they were just stars after they took up positions.

Exciting to say the least. From our position we estimated that they were probably staged over the Pacific Ocean as the crow flys from us.

Observed a very large, half circle object with faint lights on top that reshaped into a circle and changed color. I was driving west on Redlands Blvd. Directly in the sky in front of me was what looked like an extra large half moon set with the curved side down and flat on top.

It caught my attention because it was so large and not in the correct position to be the moon although it was white. I looked at it and realized the edges were blurred and there was some difined shape within ot and then I noticed very faint twinkles of lights on the top flat side. As I drove, I came to realize what I was seeing wasn't right.

I turned into a parking lot and lost the object behind trees for a moment, then found it again it what seemed to be a slightly different place in the sky. At this point I was calling my husband and kids to tell them to go outside and look at the sky. They were downtown and couldn't see it.

I sat in the parking lot and looked at it . It seemed to be staying in the same place and was doing nothing. At this point I thought maybe it was a street light off in the distance and that I was having some sort of visual/perseption problem.

Then it changed into a perfect circle and turned slightly orange and got smaller and smaller. I thought it was disappearing. I was still on the phone to my son explaining all this to him as I watched it.

I told him it was disappearing. Then it reshaped itself back into the shape that it was in the beginning. I decided to drive and see if I could get closer.

I lost it behind buildings and trees. Found it momentarily again but then lost it all together. I drove back towards home on Redlands Blvd.

I went to the intersection at which I first noticed the object and actually turned around again (to drive west) to see if I could see it again from that same spot. It was not there. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect that the witness may have been looking at Venus.

It is very bright, at present, and it is visible during the early evening hours in the southwestern sky. PD)) ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I am the person whom reported this incident on 12/8. I feel like I have to comment on the note at the end of my description of the event on the nuforc reports page.

The note said that I most likely was seeing Venus. This could not be the case. I am familiar with what Venus looks like this time of year.

I saw a large glowing (not star like) half circle( with a few twinkles at the top) that changed shape into a complete circle and changed color from white to orange. It then shrunk to a pin point and then reversed the process and became a glowing half circle again althoug a little more stretched out (if that makes sense). The object I was looking at was MUCH larger than Venus.

Again, Venus looks like a very large star with some orange color to it. I notice it often. This is NOT what I saw.

Thanks. Just thought I should clarify. ((END)).

Lime Green Egg-Shaped UFO Over Riverside,Ca I live in Riverside, California. I saw a ufo yesterday night on my ride home. Riverside is surrounded by mountains, and since my home is on the top of the mountain, the road home provided a great view of the ufo.

It was a lime green, egg-shaped object, with a couple of red lights that blinked on and off on top of the object. It was unbelievable. The object did not move up or dowm, it only moved horizontally.

It slowly moved horizontally. I got the feeling as if the ufo was overlookling the city, it stopped when it reached a mountain. It then went behind the mountain, where it disappeard.

I stopped at a road near my home and saw all of it. When it first caught my eye, it was close, and once I actually stopped by the road, it had gotten farther away. I tried taking video and a picture with my cell phone, but the object was too far away to get a good capture.

Riverside is close to an airport, and there were at least 5 airplanes that filled the night sky. However, they all looked like airplanes do at night and they all flew at the same elevation, while the ufo flew about half the elevation a normal plane does, and was right on top of the city. I feel like I need to tell someone, but it seems as if no one else saw it because I looked on the internet and there are no reports.

Giant triangle stealth like craft hovering over California dessert Just wanted to report that My wife and I saw a craft, which we think was man made in the area east of Palmdale ca on our way back from a trip from Las vegas. As we live in la, we where traving south on the 1-15 and we had either just passed or were just approaching the 210 connection. What was super strange about this sighting, is that this plane was huge.

I would guestimate at least 4 to six times the size of the biggest bomber plane that I have ever seen. To say that it was about the size of a football field would possibly be accurate, but I have no way of accurately reporting the size for sure. This palne was incredible, and my web research it looks identical to the Black mantra or giant stealth bomber other peoples have seen.

What made this most remarkable is the craft drifted, at a very slow speed, that of the speed of a blimp, and maybe ever slower. In direction it seemed to be doing large circles around the town to our drivers side, and it would go way west of us, and then circle back. It seemed to be even holding its position for an instance, but we later realized it was just on a perspective that it must be moving in a direction towards us.

But this object was incredible, it was so massive and flew so slowly I felt it best to be reported here. It may not be an alien space craft, and I doubt it is, but l would bet this remains unidentified for some time. My wife and I drove at 75 mph for about 15 minutes and the plane was still in view circling the city.

This craft was also silent, for its size we expected to here some engine, but when we rolled down our windows we heard nothing. Maybe we were too far away, but I'd guess we were between 1-2 miles away from it. This was all a daytime experience.

Thanks for letting me share my fasinating experience with you. ((name deleted)).

I thought it was a blimp that just happened to be lit, but it was moving too fast to be a blimp. I was called outside to see the unexplained object lighting the sky. At first I thought it was just a blimp that happened to be entirely lit.

Then as I continued to observe it, I noticed that it was moving too fast to be a blimp. I quickly grabbed my video camera and began filming this object. As I zoomed in all I could see was an enormous light with smaller red lights attached above and below the object.

((NUFORC Note: We have requested a copy of the video, but have not yet received it. PD)).
