They appeared to be trying to make some kind of formation especially near the moon.
We have been observing these for almost a week now every night. They continue to grow in numbers as well as descending altitude every night. 

Last night they were in a straight line formation that went as far as I could see.
There were literally hundreds of such objects and they were sometimes within 50 to 1000 feet of the ground. 
We saw them from Vallejo ca. all the way to walnut creek.
  If the trend continues tonight should  be quite a show! 
I know there are others who have seen this If so please post. 
I will try to post photos and video later today we should have some real good footage!!

Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Pasadena, CA - Date: July 10, 2004 - Time: 9:30 PM - County Sighting Took Place: Los Angeles - Zip Code: 91104 - Witnesses: 1 -  Object's Shape: Light - Number of Objects: 1 - Object emitted beams of light -
Event Description:
This past Saturday night as usual, I looked up and noticed a dot moving NNW to SSE. The elevation was too high to determine visually or by sound if it was a plane or helicopter.

What struck me as unusual, was that the dot then changed colors and size to a bright white light while still appearing to be on its course. The bright light lasted for maybe 10 seconds, but didn't appear to cast a beam like a helicopter lamp
would.

The size was incredible like Venus in diameter. Then it dimmed to a normal dot size and kept going on. I then went inside and checked the rocket launch schedules thinking this was a rocket stage separation but there was no "known" rocket launches scheduled that day.

Event Description:
It was between 9:30/10:00 PM, that I went back outside to check out the sky once more before I retired for the night. 

I looked up facing north/east, mostly north and at 11:00 in the sky there was a huge bright light that had ray-like streaks of light all around it, going from the middle of the object straight out, in all directions all the way around it. 

I thought to myself, "Ahhh...this looks like a new 'object' I've never seen before." 

It would probably look like a star to most people, but I've been closely observing the night skies since November 16, 2003,  and what looks like "plain ol star" at first,  actually becomes a "flying star" if you take a few minutes to relax, sit down and really watch them.  

We all know stars don't "fly" around in the sky, so then these "flying [or moving] stars" become "objects" in the sky.  And these objects are definitely BIG, two (that I can see from here) are very bright. They definitely fool you at first and you think they're stars, but then they definitely fly around the sky, up and down, towards you and away from you, left and right. 

I cannot even begin to estimate a speed or altitude. They usually stay in the same 'general' area while moving around, but are very visible when they do move.

Anyway, last night, this BIG object that has all the rays of light coming out in all directions, has like a small dot of light that travels from the center of the object out one of these rays of light, towards the sky. When it would get almost to the end of the ray, it would SHOOT off of the ray and fly at great speed, out into the night sky remaining visible for a short amount of time, then disappearing into nothing. 

Then further out into the sky (like on the same path as you would assume it was going) I'd see a flash of light, then nothing again.  And as I looked around, I could see little flashes of light all around in the skies around me but up high. 

I recall reading a sighting report from a girl who walks her dog between 3:30 and 4:00 AM, in Phoenix, AZ and she states "What's going on in the skies over Phoenix at 3:30 AM in the morning??"... "I see lights in the skies everywhere that appear then disappear." 

As the big object launched, the smaller disappearing objects, you could see the big object getting less and less bright with each "launch." 

I've never seen anything like this before although on the other object I watch, it has the rays of light too, with little dots that travel up and down them, but they've never left the rays of light off on their own before. 

Really strange and exciting!!  Thanks, talk at ya all next time.

Event Description:
Well, I hope someone out there has seen similar events and/or objects like I have over the past few months. Here's my story...

It all began on the night of November 16, 2003.  We had just had a pretty good rainstorm here in Riverside, CA, the day before so that night the sky was exceptionally clear and beautiful. 

I was at my boyfriend's house. It was 1:30 AM.  I opened up the bathroom window (it has no screen) just to take a look at the night sky.  I was facing in a southeast direction. 

I immediately noticed (at about the 11:00 area of the sky) a very large star (?) that had blinking lights or colors flashing from it. The colors were mostly blueish-white but very brilliant.

What really caught my eye was a separate red blinking light on the extreme left side of this row of bluish lights.   The lights were pulsating from L to R in a definite pattern.  The red light was blinking independently from the others. 

I sat down for what I expected to be just a few minutes, just to check out the beautiful star.  Well, that "few minutes" has now turned into three months!!

That first night, as I sat there, I suddenly realized that this "star" was actually MOVING around in a small area of the sky!! It seemed to first come towards me, then straight to the left, then dipped down and around to the right, then straight up about 1000 feet, then floated back down and hovered in the same position. 

I was totally amazed, shocked.  I kept blinking my eyes because I could not believe what I was seeing.  A moving star? Never in my life.........

Well, that was nearly 3 months ago and I have been observing this multicolored, blinking object that flies around in the night sky ever since with MUCH amazement.  And I have seen some other very strange things too that I believe are somehow connected to this colored object.  I'll write another report about those next. 

Well, back to this object.  The vitals:  It first appears in the East or southeast sky, about 1/2 way up (or a little more). The time varies, but is always there by 11:00 PM.  

You'll notice it immediately as it is the brightest "star" in the sky.  At first I thought it was a star that was moving, but after watching it all these months, I've concluded that it is one or more objects that are located in the same area as the brightest star in the sky, Sirius.!

>From what I've learned, nothing can get too close to a real star because the gravity will suck it in and then burn it up. But anyway, this object at times is throwing off so many different hues of color that it looks like a blinking rainbow up there.  I've seen beams of light go down into the night sky from this object.  The red light is almost always blinking.  I've also seen little white objects emitted from the main colorful one and zoom away at weird angles into the night sky. 

The colorful object also moves around in the sky from place to place, I've also seen it hovering, or flying in a circular pattern, going around and around slightly tilted inward to the direction it is going.  It is a saucer shape, with a row of blinking lights around the outside. This shape is easily seen with the help of binoculars. 

But as for the rest of the actions, the naked eye can see these things very easily.  And I don't have perfect eyesight!! Well, there you have the first half of my story. I do not know what this thing is, and I'm not about to say it is definitely a UFO, but it is something that I know I've NEVER seen before in all my years of star gazing.

Anybody else seen these same things as I have?? If you're looking for the first time, just look east to southeast for the brightest "star" and you'll see one with many colors flashing that looks different from the rest of the stars, and that's it!!!! If you can be patient, soon you'll see it move, and fly all around.  It does NOT go across the whole sky from end to end, but stays in same general area. 

But it is truly amazing and you'll say what I did "Oh my God, what the heck is that?"  Thanks for listening. Peace

Event Description:
On 1/1/04 at 12:01 AM, me and my fiance were sitting outside on the patio toasting in the New Year, when I looked up and notice three dim, glowing, fast moving objects that were pretty high up in the sky. I pointed them out to my fiance and when she seen them her first words were, "What the hell?"

All three objects were very large and somewhat ghostly looking in appearance. They all glowed dim orange in color, like hot metal and for an instant, I could have sworn that I was looking at three giant wobbly grayish colored cubes that appeared when the orange glow faded, for a split second.

Also, they were very much larger in size than those jumbo commercial jets we always see flying around at night, when were sitting outside on our patio.

These objects seemed to be positioned much higher in the sky and I could see that these objects were definitely not airplanes as I use airplanes to visually judge the distance and size of these objects.

At first sight for approximately 10 seconds, they traveled downward, away from us in a north/west direction and stopped for approximately 20 seconds. Then became brighter in color, but just slightly. They then traveled back in the direction they came from moving in an upward direction and traveling slower than before, side by side in a straight line formation, which lasted for about one minute. 

They always stayed close together, but at times, the center object made some erratic movements flying ahead of the others and at one point made what seemed to be a a complete circle around the other two before they all disappeared one after another like car head lights flickering off as they move farther from sight.

The entire sighting lasted for approximately 1 1/2 minutes.

I had second thoughts of telling this to others but I figured I'd at least tell this to my brother who believes in UFO's and he directed me to search the Internet for questions and that's why I'm here.

Are there others out there who seen what I seen on this night? Please respond.

NO JOKE

Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Kerman, CA - Date: December 12, 2003 - Time: 1:50 AM - Zip Code: 93630 - Witnesses: 2 - Object's Shape: Circle - Number of Objects: 1 - Object had lights - Object has an aura or haze around it - Object emitted beams of light - Object changed colors - Object hovered - Object became transparent - There was electrical interference associated with the object
Event Description:
Went outside at about 1:45 AM. Looked to the south and saw this big thing that was giving off red, green, and blue light.  It stayed there for like a few mins.  Ran back inside and got mom.  She saw it then said it was probably a helicopter she went back inside.  I stood there for 5 mins watching it. 

Then all of the sudden the lights went out and came back on for a spilt second.  Then the turned off again and all of the sudden it appeared higher in the air.  This time it was only a tiny orange light.  That stayed in the same place for a few mins.  Then it started moving towards us going north.  It stayed orange and no lights flashed on it, it also didn't make any sound. 

Looked through binoculars and the light was distorted.  Then when it was right over us a weird search light came out of it.  My mom was watching again and she said see it was a helicopter.  But I'm not ready to believe that yet cause it didn't make no noise and was orange.  Tried calling the two airports in Fresno, California to see if there was anything on radar but couldn't get through to anyone. 

Sorry if my gramar and spelling is off, but I'm really excited cause I've always wanted to see a UFO.  Thanks for your time.

Addendum to EB's UFO Sighting, Kerman, CA

"Forgot to mention during the sighting I just witnessed the street light was blinking on and off.  Then when the craft started flying over the street light was blinking erratically.  When craft was right overhead it went off and hasn't came back on.   Now to the sighting I just reported.  It has been about an hour since the sighting a black helicopter just flew over and made minimal sound.  If I hadn't positioned my binoculars just right wouldn't have seen it except for the flashing red and blue light.  Thanks for baring with me again.

Event Description:
I was driving home from a job in Antioch, when I noticed what I thought was a cloud of smoke in the shape of a bell a quarter mile ahead.

It was hovering in the same spot, (this would not be unusual, except for the fact it was extremely windy that morning.) Up until I was within 100 yards from it and then it just vanished.

I can't explain what I saw but felt it was more than just smoke. there was no fire nothing to explain this.....Maybe I am just crazy.

Event Description:
When I woke up at night to use the bathroom I looked out my window and I saw a bright white light with like 6 other white smaller lights rotating around it like a Ferris wheel as if you were looking at the Ferris wheel at an angle.

Now, I know a lot of lights in San Francisco, but this was high in the air and moving but it didn't look like your "made up alien spacecraft." It looked very strange and it didn't seem military made, but I don't I know.

PLEASE let me know if anyone else has seen something like this!!!

Witnesses: 2 - Objects Shape: Triangle - Number of objects: 2 - Lights: Object had lights
Object hovered - Object made sound - Additional Info: On the freeway between Simi Valley & Moorpark
Event Description:
My friend Nancy and I were returning from a grocery shopping trip in Simi Valley, California. We lived in Camarillo and frequently made the trip to use our DOUBLE COUPONS at our favorite grocery store there.

This particular evening, we were returning home. I was driving, Nancy and I were just chatting like women do. All of a sudden we noticed that the oncoming traffic was pulling to the side of the road. And then the cars in front of us were pulling off...so we did too!

All of a sudden we saw two crafts overhead. They were both triangular; one was larger than the other. We noticed a distinct humming sound, like a vibration as they went over. What was so eerie about this is that they came from behind the hills...crossed over the freeway (moving very slowly) and disappeared on the other side behind the hills. We were both astonished to say the least. We couldn't wait to get home to tell our families.

Many years have gone by...this incident happened almost 20 years ago. Two years ago I called Nancy (we have not lost track of each other since I moved from Camarillo in 1983)...Probably in the last 19 years we have spoken on the telephone three times. Anyway, I asked her to recount what she remembered about that night...I had notes written down with what I remembered. We both remembered the same details!
These UFOs wanted to be seen...it was almost like they were "showing off"...

That memory is as clear in my mind today as it was 30 some years ago. I called the police department to report it but they told me that I had to have been mistaken. It made me feel very afraid to say anything since that time.  It is something my Mother and I only told our family about and kept it to a very close circle of friends, but I have always wondered if anyone else saw it. I am a professional person and have worked in law since I was 16 years old. If only we had computers back then to track things as we do now. Thank you for this website. I have waited over 30 years to be able to tell someone that might listen.
