The report, as filed
BRIGHT LIGHT OUTSIDE OF WINDOW. TAKEN TO A MOUNTAIN TOP. LOOKED UP IN SKY AND SAW STARS IN A PATTERN BLINK ON TO THE LEFT AND THEN STARS IN A PATTERN BLINK ON TO THE RIGHT... SIMILAR TO A CONSTELLAR BUT IN TIGHTER FORMATING. THEN I TURNED AROUND OVER MY LEFT HAND SHOULDER AND SAW A GRAY ALIEN...NOT SMALL. AND I REMEMBER THINKING, OH! AN ALIEN! AND I SEEMED VERY HAPPY. I TOOK HIS HAND, HE SEEMED FRIENDLY AND I THOUGHT. OH! THERE HANDS ARE SOOOO SOFT. THIS THOUGHT WAS VERY PROMINENT IN MY MIND. AND IT I CHATTED TO HIM ALL FRIENDLY AND HE COMMUNICATED BACK. THEN, I NOTICED HE WAS LAYING ME DOWN AND I SUDDENLY FELT PAIN ON MY LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE AND I TRIED TELLING HIM TO STOP... THAT THERE MOST BE A ROCK POKING MY BACK. THEN, I WOKE UP SUDDENLY IN MY BED AND A BRIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHT FROM THE SKY WAS LIGHTING MY BEDROOM THROUGH THE WINDOW. AND I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE HAD A DREAM... BUT, MY BACK HURT IN THE EXACT SPOT, A DREAM WOULDNT CAUSE ME PHYSICAL PAIN. ! AND AS I LAY AWAKE I THOUGHT, MAYBE ITS JUST THE MOON... HIS HAND WAS REALLY SOFT. I DOZED OFF AND WOKE UP A COUPLE HOURS LATER AND MY BRAIN WAS LOOKING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WAS DIFFERENT IN BRIGHTNESS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS JUST THE MOON. WAS IT JUST A DREAM. I AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I DIDNT ACTUAL SEE ANY SIGNS OF A MOUNTAIN I JUST THOUGHT I WAS ON TOP OF ONE.

I just saw 3 UFO’s/ UAP’s from my backyard at first I thought the first one was a satellite or the space station but it slowed down and another one went directly for the first one and the first one made an impossible move and then they both phased out then the third one kept jumping back and forth then phased out. The second most incredible sighting I have ever witnessed!!!

We saw a bright, reddish light in the sky. It moved around a little but not in a straight line. It seemed to change colors from red to pink to yellow. After a little while there was some kind of a burst - and then it faded out as if flying away. I do have video although it is a bit blurry.

I was in my back looking at the sky and then I saw a circle of light in the sky I figured it’s wasn’t a plane because it’s was to fast and doing constant circle’s in a perfect motion. I’m still watching it right now and it’s has been doing the exact same thing.

On April 16 at approximately 2100 hours I took my dogs out to the backyard to relieve themselves. I was outside on the patio facing 39 degrees northeast when I saw a light in the sky moving at a high rate of speed. It was traveling from southwest to a northeasterly direction and appeared to be at a high elevation that was difficult to determine. It was followed by 6-8 other similar objects at equal distance and all in alignment. This formation was followed by several other formations heading in the same direction, but on different linear paths. In all there were about 4-5 linear formations. Each with 4-6 objects in alignment. There were also other objects heading in the same direction but were outside of the formations and appeared to be solo or providing flank security. At the end of the large formation which consisted of all the smaller formations were a couple of more objects that appeared to be providing rear security. The last object moved overhead at a! pproximately 2125 hours. It should be noted that within the first minute and once I realized I was witnessing a phenomenon I called for my wife to come outside and she brought my adult children to observe also. While we were observing this phenomenon we also witnessed other lights in the southeast sky moving south southeast.

I was driving west on Evora Rd. towards Concord, CA, when I hit some stop and go traffic. The traffic stopped for a moment, when I saw what I thought was a star, but then I noticed it was moving upward slightly. It then moved into the clouds and never reappeared again. I thought it might have been an airliner glinting in the morning sun, but I could not make out any wing structure.
