So, I was looking up and there was no planes flying at this time. It was cloudy, in fact quite cloudy, the type of low clouds you see alot. There was a large open patch in the cloud about 70 degrees from where I was standing. Then I saw it... This massive triangle shape wing, that was white beneath, which I thought was a jumbo jet for a second. No sound at all, it just flickered in appearance, like it just materialized. I saw no lights blinking or anything. The undercarriage of this thing was really white, which was kind of shocking, cause I never seen underneath an airline that clear at night. There was no head or tail like a plane, just a big white triangle that appeared then cloaked just as quick. I couldn't see any movement in the clouds once it went into it. Almost like this thing appeared briefly and then hid in the clouds or using the cloud to hide. It all took about 6 seconds or so. I don't know what I saw. I can't say what it really was, except very large and eerie. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Fullerton, CA
Around 7:35 PM, I was looking towards the full moon which is east of my location and towards the upper right there were two diamond shaped objects in tandem that got really bright and faded away together moving south east.

September 23, 2018 Sighting of object approximate 7:00 p.m. I noticed what I first thought was a speck of a cloud (as others were to the left of it) straight out my living room window which faces directly West. It was very well lit, as the other clouds also were, and held my attention. I then started to notice it was moving downward instead of off to the left like the other clouds were doing. I went and got a pair of binoculars and when I looked at it, I could see it had a “tail” and appeared to be a comet! I got my camera and began taking pictures of it, calling my husband,to come and look at it. In all I have 9 photos. The first is take normally. I then started zooming in hoping that the image would be easier to see or identify. From the time I first saw it, approximately 7-10 minutes had passed. I have since looked on-line for any reports of an object in the sky, or astronomical sites reporting comets, or any other such thing. I have been unable to find any other mention of this object. I will be emailing the photos along with a map of Calif showing approximate where I was, and where I saw the object move in a downward path until it went behind the mountain. My husband and I are both retired. We have lived and worked in the Redding area for the past 30 years, give or take. This is the first time I have ever seen something unusual in the sky and the fact that I was unable to find any reports of it yet has peaked my interest!!

I was exiting my living room and immediately noticed the object as I looked up due North at about 1:00 o’clock position and realized it was moving erratic. I called my wife to come out and get a look. By the time my wife came outdoors it had become mostly stationary and the intensity of the light had become bright. The light then dimmed out and faded into the night sky. The Color of this object remained a fire colored orange reddish color through out the observation which lasted no more than 2 minutes. It was quite noticeable despite a bright full moon. I’d estimate the object to be somewhere in the vicinity of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, or somewhere in the vicinity of Northern Central Valley California.

I saw the craft again in the daytime at the same location perched in some clouds just hovering still with no sound. I noticed the apartment had a magnetic shift after the event my compass was out -21 degrees. The alternator also blew out in my truck when I first moved there. I felt psychologically abducted presiding the event and delusional.

I was sitting in the middle of Diablo Hills Golf Course after midnight, when suddenly there was a massive light came over me. Then it stopped, and I looked up and I saw this thing over me., At first, I thought it was a helicopter, but it wasn’t. It was much larger and rectangular. I got up and then the spotlight went off. Then the light above moved away. No sounds. It went west.

At 76 years old, my first UFO. There is a space between some trees that when I sit on the patio, I can observe the sky for miles...planes all the time...choppers and private aircraft and way up in elevation the big commercial birds. I know the speeds of each as well as the sounds. Tonight, it was WAY different. I was looking direct east, watching a light (per usual) traveling south to north over the mountains (big hills) to the direct east. It was going pretty fast for something observed at that distance...it gained altitude then hung a hard right descended somewhat and made a hard left right toward my position at shocking speed...it was over head and heading due west faster than anything I've EVER seen...and silent. The round light of it was somewhat diffused as if behind clouds but the sky is clear though somewhat bright due to light pollution from the nearby small shopping center. It passed over my 2 story building and beyond sight and would have been over the ocean within seconds going due west. One thing for sure...what ever it was, was BLAZING fast...impossibly so. It was an object...it was flying and it remains unknown. One more thing off the bucket list!

Three chevron shaped objects streaked across the sky traveling east to west. They were directly above me. I was trying to locate the galaxy andromeda and was focused on the constellation Cassiopeia when the lights came into view. They traveled in a delta formation. As they crossed overhead they separated in the western sky and disappeared out of view. My visual event lasted no more than five seconds. My first inclination was that they were some sort of night flying white birds. However dismissed that notion as they were traveling very fast. I thought also that they were iridium flares however I am sure they do not occur in threes.

Hemet, CA
On September 15th, 2018, at approximately 8:00 PM, I was in the parking lot of Derby's Bar & Grill in Hemet, California, facing the street when I saw an inverted triangle-shaped craft. The craft was black with four small white lights on each corner and one larger white light in the center. It appeared to have a faint purple "aura" around it. The craft was moving from left to right and was completely silent. It was maybe several hundred feet in front of me, and less than a hundred feet from the ground. I observed it for about 10 to 15 seconds before it disappeared from my view. I did not see anyone else outside during the sighting, and I have not made any formal reports about the incident. * The attached image is a quick rendition I made in 2019. The craft was slightly larger than I drew it, pretty much filling the gap between the trees where the drawing appears, and equilateral.

I was returning to my tractor trailer at a large trucking depot. I have made a habit of always looking up as I have never seen a UFO in my 60 years. Always wondered if they were in fact real. This night I was 15 feet from my truck, it was parked in a row with other trucks that reach almost 14 feet high. They were blocking the flood lamps so I was peering at a hazy, few stars night sky. My estimation was the object came over at 100 feet. It looked like a rounded off square, flying corner first. It was bowed so the lateral corners were facing downward.It was smaller than maybe a Piper Cub aircraft, but not by much. Of course at that time it looked dark gray. Just lighter than the sky around it. It moved absolutely silently (the trucks were shut down for the night so it was dead quiet). There were very week pale white lights at the corner of each downward facing "wing". If I had not been looking up, I would never have known it came over. It vanished o! ver the top of the trailers and was gone.

Stockton, CA
I was driviing south on a neighborhood street when I noticed a light in the sky ahead of my car. It was traveling in the same direction and almost on the same track. My first thought was a shooting star but it was moving too slow. Then I thought a an airplace or helicopter but it was a yellowish color, kind of fuzzy, and didn't have navigation lights. My windows were up so I couldn't tell if it made any noise. It moved with a bouncy, staggering kind of moviement like it was traveling on an invisible bumpy road or traveling against a heavy wind.. I would estimate its altitude at aout 5000 feet. I lost sight of it when I drove under some trees and made a left turn to my destination.

At 1:58 a.m., on Sept 12th, in Lake County, CA, I saw thru a clearing in the tall pine tree forest a large bright red pulsating light traveling from the west moving in a south easterly direction. It was a ways above the 120 foot tall pine trees surrounding my area. It moved in a straight line, pulsating red as it flew across the sky. I saw it clearly for a few seconds in a clearing above my house & then again intermittently through the tall pines as it travelled out of sight. It was moving fast and there was no sound coming from the object. If it had been a plane or helicopter, I would have heard it because of its altitude. The event of seeing it lasted only about 10 seconds, of which I got a clear view of the object for about 3 seconds. It was a dime size large red glowing pulsating ball with no tail.

Hello! I recently experienced an extraterrestrial event that was not a UFO, but could have been "alien" activity. I was doing research on Malaysia Flight 370 and was piecing things together with a few friends (such as the fact "they are not human" was said in the blackbox recording and the plane had simply disappeared). I was extremely tired so I had decided to put my computer down and to go to sleep. I fell asleep and the next morning I woke up and saw a triangle mark on my right thigh. I sent an image to my friend, she saw it immediately in the photo replying "what ((two words deleted)) is that, you probably got abducted." That hadn't even crossed my mind. Then I was thinking about the research me and my friends had done the night before involving the sentence "they are not human". This seemed very stupid to me and I was thinking I had just overthought the situation. A few nights later, I felt a pinch on my rib, and immediately passed out (it happened fast and I had no intention of falling asleep, but woke up the next morning). The area on my rib that felt pinched the night before felt extremely bruised. I looked at it to notice that it was a triangle mark, and hurt extremely worse than the one on my thigh. I do not have a picture of this one. Long story short, I woke up with triangle marks on my body, TWICE. My orange tabby also kept biting at the marks, which he never bites me. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Been seeing a huge light in the western sky over Los Angeles for weeks. Too big to be a planet, and does not orbit like planets, stars, the ISS. Seems to be long and rectangular shaped; three quarters of it is gold colored, one quarter is red colored. Tonight it is situated more to the south, the first time I have seen it in a different place since I noticed it a month ago. Neighbor got out his binoculars but says he couldn’t make out what it is. It makes me feel nervous. It sits stationary in the sky except for tonight in a different location, but still not moving. What is it!!!

This evening, at approximately 19:50, I witnessed what initially looked to me as a "shooting star", quickly transform itself into a fully capable and manuevering aircraft. From where I was standing, I had a full view of the northern sky with the moon also in view (waxing crescent tonight). While conversing with an associate over the phone, this ball of a light quickly took my attention. Assuming it was going to burn out somewhere within the stratosphere or troposphere (as I've observed in my lifetime amongst "shooting stars" or meteors) I continued my conversation. Then, what I witnessed next blew my mind. The ball of light came to a grinding halt and I was able to actually hear this flying object. It sounded like a loud, "screeching", static electric-like sound. So powerful, I was able to feel the vibrations under me. Hard to explain. After coming to an almost complete stop, I watched it turn and head Northeast. I hung up the phone, and called my wife outside so she could see this object. I followed this object with my eyes from the second it's light was identifiable to my periphals. When she came outside, we both marveled over this ball of a light, and watched it as it continued to travel northeast. This object maintained its physical appearance as an orange "ball" of a light the whole way through. It was very distinctive in a way, that it was very bright and orange. Easily able to differentiate itself from any sort of commercial aircraft. Serving in the Marine Corps for four years, I can say it was of no military aircraft I have seen before either. This object stopped almost midair. We watched until the light faded into nothing, as it continued its travels northeast I would say HUNDREDS of miles. All within two minutes. Anyone in the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles Valley, ..........anyone,anywhere, who happened to look up and witness what they "think" to have been something strange flying through the sky, I can assure you, was nothing ordinary or of our "technology". I have (2) side notes to add: Less than 3 minutes after the object dissapeared, a loud helicopter was overhead, and in my area. The only thing I could see were the lights from the undercarriage and skids. It made a circle and dissapeared. This may have been pure coincidence. The second thing I wanted add was regarding the noise I heard. The loud vibrational type noise. I've heard this before and actually regularly for the past two years. The weird thing is when I have heard it, the noise's "vibrational frequency" has been much louder and sometimes in intervals. It leads me to believe the area I live in or possibly the mountain ranges (San Gabriel Mountains or San Bernadino Mountains) nearby are being utilized as a some sort of entry point? I will continue to record my "encounters" as I feel there is a correlation between these anomalies.

Shortly after 2:30 this morning, I looked up into the sky directly to the North and saw a flash or what i thought was a shooting star. Perhaps it was a comet because it looked so big (approximately 3 inches long from my perception. It was a third wide as its length. It disappeared as soon as it was visible. Recently, there were shooting stars so thought maybe it was related. I waited several minutes to see if there would be others but nothing was happening.
