2 red lights in San Diego New Years eve (around 11:55pm - till midnight) I was at a party for New Years at a friends house in San Diego (Pacific Beach), California. It was 11:55pm (23:55) and we were getting ready to countdown the New Year. I was behind a bar making drinks when my friend said, "You have to look at this".

So I got out of the bar area in his garage and everyone at the party in the backyard was looking up at the sky and trying to figure out what these 2 very bright dots were. They mentioned one was moving pretty fast and then just stopped. When I went outside the 2 bright dots in the sky were just hovering in the same place.

I couldn't hear any sound from them. They looked like a Roman Candle (firework that shots red fireballs) but very hi in the sky and were not moving. Some of the girls at the party started to get freaked out because no one could make out what the bright lights were.

I first thought they could have been a helicopter but they seemed to be 5 times higher then any helicopter I have ever seen. One of the lights seemed to blink a little but then stopped. I am very skeptical about UFO's and I started making a few jokes like, "HOLY SH!T, its like Independence Day (Movie) and the aliens are going to blow us up!" After a couple minute, I actually started to get kind of weird about the situation because I couldn't think what the lights could have been.

About 1 minute before midnight, one of the lights slowly faded out and all of a sudden was gone. Right at midnight the 2nd light disappeared. It was very strange.

This morning I woke up and went to www.signonsadiego.com to see if there might have been a story about it.

I typed in the search '2 red lights in the sky' and nothing came up. So I did the same on yahoo.com and came across a news story from 2002 that started freaking me out a bit because it sounded kind of like our experience.

They had a link to this website and I noticed it had a 'report sighting' so I thought I would add my comments. I would have never known how to report this weird event to anyone except word of mouth to my friends. Is there any way you could somehow look into this event? I would love to see what it could have been.

I could round up most of the people at the party if needed. I tried to take a photo from my cell phone but you can barely make out the 2 dots in the photo. I am not sure if anyone else took a photo.

Sandpoint, ID

Full Report Text:

Three small unidentified lights or orbs in very close proximity investigate our firework display. A small group of parents and children were lighting fireworks. The night was clear and I was sitting on the deck just above the group, approximately 20 feet away.

This was not an elaborate firework display, but enough to entertain young children. Some of fireworks would shoot up higher than tree line, explode, and dissipate as they were falling. While watching the fireworks, I noticed there were some lights just above the last explosion that did not fall or dissipate.

In fact, they were not moving at all, and remained suspended in the same spot above the children. The unidentified lights, or orbs (3), remained suspended above the area of the fireworks for few minutes, and then moved in a straight line above the deck where I was standing. It was clear they were not fire works.

There was no doubt they were moving together with intention and direction. I yelled out to the group to see if others were watching them. We were amazed and baffled.

Then the orbs proceeded! to move over the house, rising up to scale the roof line. Their movement made no sound. They were round, perhaps less than the size of a racket ball, and bright enough to be initially mistaken for light exploding from the fireworks.

A few years ago I shared this with a group of people and one person in the group had also witnessed something similar in the same town during a fire work display. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

saucer shaped object in the sky glows white and fades three times in sky As my husband and I were driving to our local grocery store today, I saw something I can't explain. It was a pretty clear day. A few clouds in the sky, but pretty blue.

As I was looking up I saw a disk-shaped (or oval) object high in the sky, glowing near one of the clouds. At first I thought it might be a plane (the O'Hare airport is near here) but as I watched the object it faded, disapearred for a few moments and then reappeared in the same place. It glowed again, a very white bright light(roundish), slowly faded and then disappeared again.

After the first time I saw it I had been trying to point it out to my husband. It reappeared for a third time in the same place and my husband and I watched it for a few seconds as it glowed and faded twice and then disappeared. We have been going over this, trying to be logical, but we are very familiar with seeing planes in the sky.

As far as we could tell the object did not seem to have any type of wing structure or tail structure. It was silver or metallic. There was no fume trail (all of the other planes we saw had one).

There were other planes in the sky at various heights, but they were still distinguishable(we could see wing and tail signs). This was not. We can not come up with any logical explanation other than this was a ufo.

Bright orange glowing object that hovered, moved across the sky and down, then disappeared. I had taken my dog for a walk on a cloudy evening. It was dark, but you could see the clouds were low.

I was in my backyard, just letting my dog through the gate when a bright light caught my eye. It appeared to be a large orange glowing object. It moved in straight lines across the sky, back and forth both hovering and desending.

It had gotten smaller by the time my husband came outside and I pointed it out to him. He ran to get some binoculars and I watched the object move away and down, then it disappeared. My husband tried to get a look at the object with the binoculars, but it had moved too far away.

At first I thought it might be a meteorite or worse yet some type of plane crash, but there was nothing on the news of any events of this nature. This has to be the strangest thing that I have ever seen. When my husband first came outside I said to him "you see it too, don't you?".

If I had not seen it, I would not have believed it, so I have not told a lot of people about this. My husband and I are both in our mid-40's, we are working professionals and were not under the influnence of alchol or drugs of any kind. I have not visited this website before seeing this object and would not have if I hadn't seen whatever this was.

Two hovering lights above Anchorage, Alaska On this day I saw two strange objects with extremely bright lights, but they were below the clouds. I thought it was a helicopter but there were no noise coming from the two lights. I got to a grocery store parked in the parking lot and took a close look at the lights.

They were hovering in a small circular motion, one of them slowly moved around the other one, then they both started moving extremely slow towards the north. As I called the authorities, and all my family members, and told them to look outside and record with a camera if they have one.One of them disappeared then the other one, but before they disappeared they were flashing with a bright red to orange then to white and disappeared one after another.

My brother in law caught the two objects in the sky on his camera but it wasn't a good recording of it, the camera didn't focus in well enough to get a clear recording.

Sebring, FL

Full Report Text:

Bright white light appeared in clear blue sky for about 30 seconds around 9 A.M. Second sighting in one week: I was driving my car in the parking lot at Sebring Square, going to the Bank of America.

I saw a bright white light in the southern sky at about 40-45 degrees above the horizon--the same area where I saw it on Monday, 27 December 2004. The sky was not cloudy. The light looked as if the sun's light was being reflected off a metal object.

Had it been night time, I would have thought it was the planet Venus, because that's what it looked like. I only saw it for about 30 seconds. About 1 minute later, I parked the car in the Sebring Square parking lot, got out of the car and looked for the object.

I could not see anything in the sky. This time however, I saw a jet with a contrail flying northward about 20-30 degrees east of where I saw the object.

Possible International Space Station Siteing This morning at 6am Pacific time, I noticed a light high in the NW sky. First I thought it was a plane because I live less than 5 miles from LAX. As I observed the light for a moment, it was moving from the NW to the SW.

At about 06:02 it had passed my location, I did not see it when it had passed over because I was getting my binoculars out of my car. When I observed the object through the binoculars, I could never hold them steady enough to make out any detail or to better define the shape of the light. At about 06:04 the light was far in the SW sky and still traveling away.

Other Factors, I was able to make out the planet Saturn thru my binoculars, and the object I saw was much brighter. From my perspective, Saturn was to my South. I recall seeing the International Space Station many years ago when its fly-by was mentioned on the news.

From my recollection, seems like the object that I was brighter that I remember it, but the object that I saw this morning was kind of on the same flight path that I recall the space station being on years ago. So it could have been the space station. Im located at N33 degrees 55 minutes by W118 deg 18 mins.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Possible International Space Station Siteing *** This is a correction to my posting. The object traveled from the NW to the SE, and the object appeared to be reflecting light oppose to emitting light. **** This morning at 6am Pacific time, I noticed a light high in the NW sky.

Intense blue light filling room, and a baby nine months later I was asleep in my bed, so I do not know the exact time of the incident. At the time I was living with my parents, so my bedroom window was facing South. It was about 2:30, or so, in the morning.

I was suddenly awaken by nothing in particular. What I mean is there was no sound, no light, no nothing that would have woken me up. It was only the overwhelming feeling of urgency.

When I awoke nothing seemed out of the ordinary, although my gaze was immediately drawn toward the window. The moon seemed very far away, further than normal, but very bright. As I stared at it, it seemed to move closer and closer.

It turned into nothing but light, no longer a shape. The light filled my room, illuminating it with a light blue light. However, this light was unlike anything I had ever seen.

It was very intense. I turned away and noticed everything in my room was also lit up. Then as soon as it happened, it was gone.

The light was drawn away the same as it came, ending with just the full moon seeming very far away. It was as if it was trying to trick me. The next morning I thought that it had all been a dream, but when I looked around, all of my things were in the same place as when the initial incident happened.

This was all the proof that I needed. However, this was not all that I got. Nine months later I had my first daughter.

I did have a boyfriend at the time, however we were not active. I was not aware that I was pregnant until I went in on the night of her birth. I only gained 15 pounds and had no signs or symptoms.

I even had my menstrual cycle every month. She was born on October 4th. She was and still is extremely healthy.

She is also very smart and a bit larger than most children her age. However, besides that she is pretty normal.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES IT WAS A STRANGE ILLUMINATION OF LIGHT, BY IT BEING NIGHT TIME OUTSIDE IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO DETERMINE THE DISTANCE.BUT THE LIGHT EMMITED WAS NOT PROJECTED IN ANY DIRECTION IT WAS BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE SEEN BUT NO FLICKERING ALMOST LIKE A GLOW. IT MOVED SLOWER THAN A LOW FLYING PLANE, IT MOVED AS IF IT WAS HOVERING SLOWLY FORWARD IT PASSED THROUGH THE CLOUDS .

IT DIDN'T MAKE A SOUND AS IT ALMOST GOT OVERHEAD IT PASSED INTO ANOTHER CLOUD AND NEVER EMERGED OUT THE OTHER SIDE AS IT DID BEFORE. ABOUT 5 TO 7 MINS LATER WE OBSERVED SEVERAL SMALL PLANES RESEMBLING JETS. MAKING MULTIPLE PASSES OVERHEAD IN THE AREA WHERE WE LAST SAW THE OBJECT.

THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 30 TO 45 MINS THEN THE SKYS WERE CLEAR AGAIN.

Large White circles of light racing in circles at fast speed above the clouds in Billerica, Ma A Very large circular bright white light above the clouds going around and around in a very large circle traveling maybe 80 mile per hour that was at 6:30 pm looked out again around 7:30 pm and the clouds had moved to the right and where there were clouds to the left was now a clear sky. The large circle of light was still there but moved to the right to stay above the clouds?? I know it was not a search light and a plane would not run in circles at fast speed for hours and the size of the circle of white light was Hugh.

Amber lights in the shape of the number 7 or a backward capital F gliding silently across the Kansas night sky. I was visiting a friend in Emporia, Kansas in late December 2004. As we were leaving her house one evening, I glanced up into the night sky and was startled to see a formation of square-paneled amber lights in the shape of the number 7 gliding swiftly and silently across the night sky.

I immediately said something to my friend to look up and tell me what that was, but it moved too quickly and she did not see it. I say it was shaped like the number 7, but I wonder if it was actually a triangular shaped object and the lit amber panels were making it appear to be in the shape of the number 7. However, there were also a couple of amber light panels in the middle left portion of the number 7, which makes it seem more like a distorted, backward capital F.

I would say it was gliding at about the altitude of a small private plane, though it looked to be as big as a city block.

Light along the sides with a shape of a triangle around 22:00 yself and a friend where driveing when we noticed three objects circling something which we wherent sure of. The object must have been 500 to 1000 feet above the ground. as we came closer we thought they where helicopters but there was two light which looked to be parallel to each other.

one passed over and we thought it to be a double bladed helicopter. we stop and listen and there was no sound what so ever. So we thought it was alittle strang but drove on as we came in to the two itsself we saw another object which was the same as the other one which we have seen.

this time I saw the shape of a triangle and about three lights on either side. it was moving slower then a plane and seemed slower movie then a helicopter, and this object also made no noise. after about 5 mins it flew off.

Each object left in different directions. about ten minutes later my friend noticed three jets flying in the direction of the objects that we had seen.

I witnessed triangle craft being chased by military planes near NAS Pt.Mugu Dec.2004 Was driving on PCH west of Malibu.

Ca. south of the Point Mugu Naval Air Station. There is an strech of rode where campers can park by the ocean just south of Mugu Rock.

It was a nice day so I had the window down. Suddenly to my left just off the beach bout 100 yards a dark triangle shape craft flew by quickly! Looking Past the craft I could see two military fighters about a mile out keepig pace with craft. It was nothing I had seen in 20 years in the military! Ahead of me the coast took a jag to the west toward Mugu Rock this craft followed the coast line and as it did it turned it side exposing it top side.

I could see no tail fin and no cock pit. This craft made no sound and I was very close! It scared the heck out of me because I thought it would crash but it did not. It came to Mugu Rock and very easily negotiated around it keeping the same distance away.

Scared and curious at the same time I accerlated and got past the rock as fast as I could. Once past the road was straight for a distance of a mile and so and I could see the air station clearly. no planes were seen in the air.

I hurried down the road to where the road turned east and I could see down the road and too the city of Camarillo. no planes in sight.I kept searching the skies but saw no planes.

It was a very unusal event. The only reason I am reporting it now is because some one else reported a similar incident in the same area 2 years prior(June 2002). I know what I witnessed.
