Every night for the past two months my family and I witness triangular shaped objects in the sky and also orbs that flash. The triangular shaped objects seem to move around in the sky with invisibility but you can still make them out. The objects seem to follow us around the yard.

I was visiting Giant Rock after having gone to the Integratron. While there I took an image of the landscape to include the sky, I walked in between Giant Rock's separate pieces and took two pictures of the landscaping, I then had a physical reaction where I had an intense "pressure" feeling on my third eye. It was so severe that I walked back through the pieces to exit where I had entered, as I exited, I took another picture of the same image I took before I entered Giant Rock and there was an "orb" or "energy vortex" in the sky. I believe it is this object that also gave me the intense pressure sensation on my third eye. Both images were taken at 12:47 PM time stamp on June 18, 2023. I went through all of the images that I took while there and checked for any other photos for the same anomaly but there were none. The object is oval with an outline and there also appears to be a light beam next to it as well. Giant Rock has a history for UFO sightings, has nine ley lines running through it making it a vortex of energy.

Bright blue illuminating light that shot up and stayed in the air for a bit. The whole sky light up in a blue illuminating light that could be seen through the clouds. The sky stayed lingering with that color after the bright initial flash/orb left. The color of the sky then subsided and turned normal.

At about 1:00 pm looking west towards above in the sky these white object were darting in different directions and different speeds and then disappearing. I was finally able to capture this attached video. At 41 seconds into video moving from the upper right to the lower left of the screen you will see it streak at a very fast rate of speed. The still photo shows what a single frame looks like.

On 06/14/23 at about 10:20 pm I noticed a bright object in the sky toward the town of Rumey. At first I thought it was a helicopter because it stayed in the same place but it seemed close enough that I would hear it if it was a helicopter or any type of aircraft but it was silent. I used my bonoculars to see it and it appeared to be rectangular in shape and had what looked like arms or legs with lights from the bottom and a dome type of shape on the top. After looking at it for a few minutes all the lights shut of and I could no longer see it but after a few minutes the lights came back on and I observed it for about 10 minutes and went inside for the night, On todays date 06/16/2023 at about 10:00PM The object appeared again and I had my girlfriend look at it and she confirmed what I saw.

I was trying to look through the plane window at San Francisco bay. A few minutes to land and I saw clearly a sphere metallic object flying against our direction. It was 5 seconds at least. It was fast. I have never seen something like this, I'm not sure what was that .

PLEASANT HILL, CA
While walking dog for nightly constitutional was headed home looked up and observed a very bright white broken double line moving at an extremely high speed from west to east in the sky. If not for the illumination I would say the object resembled a con trail from a jet aircraft. In the time it took me to enter the house scream at my wife to come look at it and go back outside it was already reaching the east horizon line. The object must have been very large aand it was at about 20 to 30 thousand feet in the air about the same height as as normal flight pattern for commercial aircraft. No engine noise or sonic boom was heard. Never seen anything fly that fast and it was gone before i could even get my phone to try to photograph it. The speed had to be incredible due to the distance that was covered in such a short period of time. Quite exciting only wish I could have got a photo for you. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Joshua Tree, CA
UAP approached our camp sight, coming up over the 40ft barrier of rocks; it seem to hover 20 plus ft above rocks for a 30 seconds or so, seeming to rotate or change direction, then is shot off faster then any known military aircraft. It had rectanglular segments that seem to create a belt around the craft of low glow white or gray lights, and two more distinct lights (that seemed to be headlights). The UAP was silent, and seemed to create a noise reaction because all the insects went silent during the sighting and then went back to normal as soon as UAP zipped off. The UAP appeared to be gray in color and devoid of any mechanical sound or sound at all.

We were standing outside. I looked up at the sk. Halfof it was covered in clouds. On top of the clouds suddenly appeared a blue light. It came out of nowhere and seem to fly towards us. Then it stopped. Then it moved quickly to the left. And then it moved straight down quickly. And then it disappeared. About a minute later it returned. Same erratic movements back-and-forth and up and down quickly. And then it disappeared.

It started when we were done with our hike and we spotted a bright white light hovering in the sky. We felt this vehicle was watching us so we walked to the other side of the property and the vehicle moved to the opposite side of the sky once again remaining stationary. The light began to flash and 6 other objects began flashing red with it in the vicinity. Then I watched the ufo turn its light off and back into the sky blending in. As it got later we continued to follow this object to a dark area where we then seen a light hovering behind the trees, we continued to to approach this location that we were being drawn to. Once we stopped that’s when it happened, we made contact. We could feel their presence all around us and could see the silhouettes standing there. We initiated contact with them and they touched us to let us know they were there. We then looked up and seen a craft fly right over heads slowly letting us know they were there. Also, there were other crafts flying in a bouncing motion in the area. In conclusion, we had seen over 6 alien crafts and made contact with these beings who brought us to the forest.

I was traveling to Henderson Nevada with my daughter-in-law granddaughter and daughter while driving on the freeway. My daughter-in-law took a quick second look and said oh my god what is that? She asked my granddaughter do you see it? My granddaughter said yes what is that and my daughter as well saw it, they said it was black dark black shaped almost like a hook or a boot somewhere around on top just hovering like floating in the desert. I was traveling on the highway so I couldn’t take my eyes off the wheel, but all three of the girls saw it , we unfortunately did not get a photo. Has anyone else reported this ,what is it? It wasn’t anything that we would’ve seen here It was dark black. Round top slim neck then a little wider down and with a hook out. They described it as looking like a boot. In the middle of nowhere in the desert, with no town, we were already well beyond the airbase that I am aware of as we were headed towards the Las Vegas area, but we were still in the California side. I had my daughter draw a picture of what they saw, and my granddaughter and my daughter-in-law, and they all come up with the shape that’s kind of rounded on top comes down and almost looks like a boot or a hook, but solid black.

Full disclosure: I did not see the object with my naked eye, but I have 11 frames of footage that show, what appears to be an object moving at an extremely high rate of speed through the field of view. It was moving too fast to be seen by the naked eye. I was on a bike ride in Mesa Vista, California, and stopped to take a photo of Hawkins Peak, in the distance, using my iPhone. I did not see an object when I took the photo. When I later reviewed the photo I saw what appears to be an object moving through the frame. The photo was taken using an Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max. That device has a feature called "Live" photos. It takes 3 seconds of footage each time you press the "shutter" button. I used that function, so my photo actually included a series of 90 photos (aka, frames). The object in question appears in 11 of those photos/frames. I work as a professional photo editor. I know camera artifacts. This is no camera artifact. The object is small in the frame and will be difficult to see at first. I will be happy to aid investigators as needed.

Saw a huge chevron shape of multiple reddish-orange colored lights fly over from west to east. 5-10 seconds. Maybe 2-3 miles wide. No sound. Appeared to be out in space. Not starlink.

I had to upload as three separate videos for errors with the size of the videos. So hopefully that’ll be enough but these videos are all from one continuous video I just couldn’t upload the full thing. I went to my backyard for a smoke and noticed a light moving in the distance, so as I would go to check it out it got followed by two more, then three, then so many I lost count, I don’t know if I’d be able to upload the full video being it’s almost 3 mins long, when these things are in the air animals like to go nuts you can hear dogs barking all around. Honestly the things I’ve been seeing this past month or so has been so beyond bizarre I’m kinda left with no other option but to report these. I’m reporting two videos today but I’ve got hundreds more…

Roseville, CA
On a mesmerizing night, with Venus shining brightly in the sky, I found myself gazing at its celestial beauty. As I marveled at the radiant planet, something peculiar caught my attention just beneath it. There, a luminous object was in motion, captivating my curiosity. Initially, I considered the possibility of it being an airplane, but as I observed further, it became apparent that this sighting was unlike anything I had witnessed before. Unlike an airplane with its distinct blinking lights and steady flight path, this object lacked those familiar characteristics. Its movement seemed different, almost ethereal. Determined to capture this mysterious phenomenon, I hurried indoors to retrieve my iPhone, hoping to document the encounter. My heart raced with anticipation as I began recording, zooming in 100% to gain a clearer view of the object's shape. To my astonishment, the object revealed itself as a fireball, engulfed in a mesmerizing glow. At its center, a small, solid core seemed to pulsate with an otherworldly energy. Aware of the importance of capturing the magnitude of this sighting, I adjusted the camera to showcase the object's size and speed relative to the moon, towards which it appeared to be gradually moving. However, uncertainty overwhelmed me, and I hesitated on what my next course of action should be. With a heavy heart, I reluctantly ceased recording, unaware of what else I could do to document this incredible event. In a brief moment of distraction, as I diverted my gaze away, the unthinkable occurred. When I glanced back up, the fireball had vanished, leaving nothing behind but a lingering sense of awe and regret for not having captured that ephemeral spectacle. Note: The sound captured in the video may include background noise from nearby air conditioning systems, but it does not diminish the significance of this extraordinary sighting.

I have seen starlink before around last year (2022) and this did not look like it at all, the lights or "orbs" kind of shuttered across the sky one after each other and they just appeared out of nowhere about 10 or 15 of them and me and my mom both tried to take several pictures of the event and neither of us could get a clear photo I took a video and my camera couldn't focus on them but the orbs were very bright (less then starlink) and then they disappeared just as fast as they appeared. Nothing in photos.

Object was rectangle, looked similar to a shipping container, but larger, it moved perfectly across the horizon from noth to south. It was a dark color, brown or black. It was clearly not a plane or drone, there were no wings or lights. Possible advertising banner being pulled by an airplane. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

San Francisco, CA
While exercising my dog with a friend, I looked out over the bay near Alcatraz Island. I saw what I initially thought were balloons released. There was a scattering of about 15 black spots, possibly spheres. Most were in a scattered pattern and there was a clump of several. The objects were moving all together, from West to East over the bay. My friend and I started hypothesizing what we thought they were. We had several minutes to observe them as they moved across the sky. We dismissed the idea of balloons because we thought there looked too large from our vantage point. They moved all together and it seemed unlikely that the objects were propelled from the wind as they kept a random but distinct shape the whole time. It was not particularly windy that day but it could have been stronger at altitude. I watch the sky often as I enjoy identifying birds. San Francisco has had many more birds of prey in the area since the COVID lock downs. I am in the habit of looking up often. I'm also interested in aviation and like to note the various helicopters and aircraft in the region. This sighting looked nothing like any air craft I've seen before. No sound was made either. It's possible these black objects where man made, we couldn't rule it out. We just thought it odd that these objects looked distinctly round even at a distance of about 1.5 miles out. I estimate the distance at 1.5 miles b/c Alcatraz Island is also about that distance and these objects were not far past that distance.

My son and I were in our backyard when he saw a bright circular object in the direction of the moon. We thought at first it was maybe a planet although it was daytime . We watched the object with our naked eyes and binoculars for over 30 minutes moving east slowly away from the moon across half of the sky until we could not see it because of lower clouds. In the binoculars it looked like a white shiny ball or disc. The airline traffic appeared much lower so I would say the object was many miles above 30,000 ft. which would make the object rather large. My wife and daughter also watched with us after we told them what we were doing. The picture is with an iPhone zoomed a little . It was more impressive when looking through the binoculars. Please let me know if anyone knows what this was. Thank you
