Green orb appeared suddenly mid sky and fell so fast, different than falling star and then disappeared

… First thought was a comet… No tail. Then spotted white blink before it fell behind a tree. Next thought possible plane crashing, coming in way to fast and sharp angle nowhere near airport.

Sat, Dec 3, Report #: 222 I was adjusting my tablets position on bench in my backyard for a better view of the spaceships in the sky because there were more than usual. I wasn't aware that I was recording until later when reviewing the footage. Instead of my planned hour of footage, all I got was the attached video recorded by accident. I had no idea that anything was behind me. Thinking back I do vaguely remember hearing a type of rustle sound and turning around but thats it. When looking at the tape that was probably the second beam when he was beamed back up. I live alone in a locked gated estate and rarely have visitors. No one was on the property that day and as silly as the anomaly behind me in the video looks, I still have no idea what it was. I just know it wasn't me. I know this may seem like a hoax because whatever it was that appeared behind looks so weird and ridiculous. At first I thought it looked like someone snuck up behind me and was holding up a cereal bowl or a hat and wearing gloves or something. Well thats not the case. I even checked my security system tapes to see if someone got in without me being notified. I have several cameras with facial recognition on the perimeter of the property that are always on. Nothing, not even a rabbit breached the perimeter that day. Anyway, I'm trying to keep this short. None of this really matters except to me really I guess, because what I am really reporting is the partially uncloacked UFOs and their activity in the video. I never would have noticed the distorted beams if it wasn't for what I believe to be a visitor magically appearing and disappearing right next to me. One i guess who just had to know for sure what I was holding or attempting to record. I would never have believed this. But later when re-watching the video. I noticed what seems to be a transporter beam in between me and the pine trees about 25-30ft(tops) behind me. And a second beam visably shooting left to right across the screen that makes 2 holes in the clouds directly over head possibly touching down just a couple feet behind where I was standind. I have included the original 22 second video, plus one that I adjusted in order to slow it down and zoom in. I didn't alter or add anything thats not in the original. I only changed the color palet to enhance the energy beams eminating from one of the ships.There were about a dozen partially visible vessels and some cephalopods plus other anomalies i can't confidently describe in the sky over my backyard that day besides the few noticeable in the video. This is activity is normal here for me, especially on cloudy days. But this is the very first time I've ever seen an actual beam that physically moved or distorted some pine trees. Then a second one which I believe was a return trip transport beam of some kind made distinct holes in the clouds overhead. Or opened up a type of portal hole. So in conclusion I want to say that I wouldn't see the need to report anything if it was just the ships even with a strange humanoid appearing and disappearing behind me because who would believe it anyway? I wouldn't believe it myself if it wasn't for seeing the energy beams the video. I've always dismissed any thoughts I may have had about being watched because of the unusual amount of spacecraft/Ufos over my house on daily basis. I have orbs fly directly over my house in groups 4-7 days a week. These leave in the morning around 7am or so and return just before dusk. Besides those their are many more flying over separately at different times, speeds and altitudes everyday 24/7. Its worse at night I've recently learned after purchasing a P-series Nikon on ebay that takes night photos as bright a day. About 1/2 of the orbs I notice are disguised as planes when viewing them with the naked eye, but on camera they are either one orb, a group of three orbs, or a tic-tac shaped craft. Usually white. The planes are some type of hologram. Sometimes appearing translucent exposing the orbs flying within the apparition or projected image of the plane itself. I have several hundred of pics and videos of these things.. I may just include a couple of extra images with this report so who ever you are that is reading this can see them. Look I don't know what I'm reporting this for. I don't know who you are. I'm noticably worried and nervous about doing this for all the guessable reasons. I also feel like anyone that reads this thinks I'm crazy. I never truly believed I would ever see ufos or aliens at all. I never gave it much thought. But I also never thought anyone that said to me that they had seen one was lying or crazy either. Look, I love Sci-fi space movies, doesn't everyone? My plight started on thanksgiving day about 4 years ago. I was walking my dog and I saw a group of aircraft far off in the distance with the sun reflecting off them flying in my direction spraying a ridiculous amount of chemicals(geo engineering aerosols or whatever, don't get me started). I remember very well wishing to myself that i could see what type of planes they were. I thought about running back to get my binoculars and realized I had my iPad with pretty decent zoom right in my hands. Right then, one of them broke formation. In less than a few seconds, it went from being to far away to tell what it was, to directly above my head. It was a ball of digital fire. It started sputtering. The spray shut off, and it slowed way down changing back and forth from a fireball to just a chrome ball. I thought it was going to seriously crash directly into my house a block away as it swooped down slower just maybe a couple hundred feet away and a few hundred feet up. It was still heading towards the ground. For a second it slowed down even more. I swear it might have been closer to me then that. I felt a bit panicky as i quickly looked around in the normally very active neiborhood for someone. For anyone else that sees it too. But there was no one. Maybe because it was Thanksgiving. Anyway, It was just me and it. It was surreal. It was in a way life-changing. Probably in ways I think I've yet to really understand. Then it fired back up! And yes it made noise. A strong roar like a giant blowtorch as it turned back into a strong fire ball and took off. I mean took off at mach speeds. I watched as it disappeared from sight heading straight for the top of Bear mountain which is the only thing between me and Edward's Airforce Base. But not before I was luckily able to catch one perfect photo on my Ipad.( I will include this photo). I've heard and read that the largest deepest D.U.M.B base in the country is located up there and that it is protected by these spherical shaped spacefairing craft. The orb seemed small enough that it would be just the right size for one person in there. Possibly two. Some are different sizes. I've seen very large ones in NASA photos of earths moon and among the ruins on almost every planet and moon in our system. I'm still not sure if there is always a physical pilot in them. I feel they can be both manned or autonomous. But I remember feeling very strongly at the time that there was someone inside it, someone driving it. And that for some reason they felt me looking at them wishing to get a closer look and broke ranks specifically for that reason because somehow it heard me, it saw me, and maybe even knows me. Hey, who really knows for sure? Maybe they were just looking for a place to land or wanted to take a shortcut. It seemed to be sputtering a bit. Possibley because of a fuel problem.The fire seemed to power it up or only work when its powered up. Also the fire has to be on to ommit the smoke trails. Maybe its not chemtrails they are ruining the sky with? Maybe they just have anbad muffler really high emissions problem? Just kidding. Long story hopefully a bit shorter, as I decide in real time to give a much larger disclosure than I planned that was my first picture of a UFO. I started paying just a little m

The night was clear, I saw the object without contact lens on so I used my phone to record at 10× magnification. The object stayed in the same area but at times I had to aim my phone over my head as the object moved, it quickly returned to the lower area several times.

I was walking back to my car at the campsite we were staying at for a festival called Lightning in a Bottle. It was about 3:30 a.m. after the last party ended and it was completely dark out with extremely clear skies. My friend and I stopped for a moment to look up and right when we looked up we saw the rectangular object, which appeared to be 2 dimensional or we were looking at maybe the bottom of some kind of craft or celestial phenomenon. It appeared in the shape of a rectangle but was divided in half to form two triangles (please see attachment). Please not the photo attached is a graphic design that I mocked up for reference but is not an actual photo. The object had very opaque tails of light and it was divided in two colors; red and green. The object lingered for a minute and then it began to ascend rapidly and eventually disappeared. I asked my friend I was walking with what he was seeing to cross reference that I wasn't losing it and he said he was seeing the same colors and shape of object in the sky. The festival had drones which we saw moments ago, but this was much larger, faster, and made no noise. It was also at least 10,000 feet off the ground.
