San Fernando Valley, CA
May 17th, 2015, around 3:20 A.M. My friends and I were sitting on Stoney Point just talking and staring off in the distance of SFV, about 25 yards away, the brightest circle of light (bluish white) I had ever seen about the size of an SUV flashed (less than half a second) in the air where we were staring. After the flash, about a second later, an odd loud electric warping sound occurred. Never have I heard anything like it or seen anything so bright. The circle of light was the only thing visible and all surroundings were black. Most historical moment in my teenage life so far and may be most historical event in my life when I’m dead. In a more depth description, the circle of light was so bright, everything around it was pitch black and I couldn't see any city lights or surroundings in general. Directly after the light flashed, it was followed by a sound none of us could ever imagine hearing. It was this really loud, electrical current mixed with warping and a crazy zoom noise. Even my description is pretty bland. It's just to hard to explain well. You just had to be there. Two of us looked directly at the light and saw the circle and just pitch black. But one of our friends was looking up in the sky and said he had been blinded for a few seconds and only saw white. This was a once in a lifetime sighting for sure. All we keep asking ourselves is; why us? Why did we happen to be there at 3:00 AM and see this? How come there were no cars or people outside in site? Just why us? Such a memorable sight, scary, and confusing as well. I cant really convince people of my sighting because many have the right not to believe me, but in all honesty, this was the most spectacular sighting in my life.

Saw a orangish red light climb from the horizon to about 30 degrees then disappeared and reappeared 5 minutes later. At which time I called someone who was watching it at the same time after speaking with them I triangulated its position and know where it was but not what

San Bernardino, CA
It was hanging in the sky going very slow from the east to west and parallel to back yard line which boarders the Vulcan Materials gravel pit. It looked like to could have about 300 yards away and directly over the pit but it's impossible to say. Our windows were open and it was completely silent and low in the sky and moving so slow we could barely tell it was moving. It stayed on a perfect course as I could compare its movement to the stationary fence line that is on our back yard boarded. It was really pretty like some sort of light show on a cable be pulled from our left to right. No way it could have though because where it was, is really "no man's" land, being over the gravel pit and private property. Very weird, we watched it about 5 minutes until it was out of sight and moved toward North Fontana.

San Bernardino, CA
Recently, I saw a UFO ship on my way home from work May 11, 2015 in the afternoon around 5PM, and it was full daylight out. I was leaving Redlands in my truck while traveling West on the 10 Freeway, when I saw it out of my passenger window for several miles, out to the North, just above the City of San Bernardino's border with Highland California. I saw it as I looked north out of my passenger window and out of the back window of my truck, until I drove too far West on the 10 Freeway to be able to see it anymore. I had trouble staying in my lane because I was amazed at what I was seeing. Specifically, I saw it from the side as I looked North towards the backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountains. There was no smog or haze interrupting my view. I had a very clear view of the ship under the much higher clouds for at least five minutes. It was stationary in the sky, and it did not move an inch the whole time that I watched it. It was not a balloon. It just hovered there, about 3/4 as high as the top of the San Bernardino Mountains. I saw no ropes or chains under it to hold it in place. I have no idea how something that big can hover still in the sky like that. Moreover, it was rectangular in shape. (See attached drawing.) I saw no lights on it. It had no wings or propellor, and it was not emitting steam or smoke. It was much longer than it was high. I estimate it was 180 feet long and 30 feet high or more. My view was limited to the side, so I could not judge depth of the ship. The accompanying image that I have included shows the shape of the aircraft. Regardless of the high cloud cover, I am sure that our government saw this enormous ship on radar. I thought that it was something from the military because it looked like the same type of material that an airplane can be made from. It was silver/metallic with black lines that defined square separate sections of the ship, which made it look like it was manufactured. Most importantly, I thought that it would have been on the television news later that night, but nothing has been shown. The very next time that I drove to work on the 10 Freeway, it was gone from that area of the sky. I have ran a search on the Internet, and two people in Highland have reported to have seen a UFO in the same area later that evening at the webpage: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/118/S118948.html You would think that with that many people living in San Bernardino, Highland, and surrounding cities that someone would have noticed it because it was daylight. I would like to find out if there are other people that have reported it. Best regards America!

San Bernardino/Highland, CA
Here is what happened on my way home from work May 11, 2015, in the afternoon around 5PM: Recently, I saw some kind of UFO ship that you might be interested in hearing about. I would never have believed that I would see something quite like this. I was on my way home from work earlier this month May 11, 2015, about 5PM in the afternoon. I spotted a ship in the sky as I was leaving Redlands while traveling West on the 10 Freeway for several miles, until I was too far West to see it anymore. It was North of the 10 Freeway, and it was above the 210 Freeway around the area of North-East San Bernardino and just above Highland California. I thought that it was something from the military. My health is not so good these days, and my only thought was to get home to keep with my schedule. In hindsight, I wish that I would have driven over towards Highland to get a better look at it, to take a picture of it, and to draw it to the attention of other people in that area at the time it was there in the sky. I wish that I had taken pictures to prove what I am saying. I had trouble staying in my lane with my truck because I was amazed at what I was seeing. I saw it from the side, as I looked North towards the San Bernardino Mountains. Specifically, it was closer to Highland California and was near the San Manuel Indian Casino area. I had a very clear view of the ship under the much higher clouds. I got a very good look at it for about five minutes. It was stationary in the sky, and it did not move an inch the whole time that I watched it. If it was a balloon, you would think that it would at least have moved a little. It just hovered there from my view, about 3/4 as high as the top of the San Bernardino Mountains. I saw no ropes or chains under it to hold it in place. What I saw hovering in the sky above San Bernardino/Highland California was rectangular in shape. I saw no lights on it, as it was daylight still. It was much longer than it was high. I would describe it as about 180 feet long and around 30 feet high or more. It had square sections to the ship. It had no wings or propellar that I could see, and it emitted nothing. Most of the ship was silver/metallic in color, but it did have some other dark colors too that made it look like it had been manufactured and put together in sections. It looked like something that could have been man made, but it was so big. However, I have never seen anything like it before, and I have no idea how it was staying so still in the sky. The separate sections reminded me of being similar to the ship that crash landed in the beginning of the science fiction movie, "Pitch Black." It was like something from out of a movie. I thought that it would have been on the news later that night, but I did not see anything on television. The very next time that I drove to work on the 10 Freeway, it was gone from that area of the sky. I have ran a search on the Internet, and it seems that someone else did see it later that evening. Here is the report they issued at this website that I am also about to post on: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/118/S118948.html This couple saw it from their house in Highland several hours later that evening after my sighting. But that shows that I am not the only one who saw it. You would think that with that many people living in San Bernardino, Highland, and surrounding cities that others would have noticed it too and would have reported it to the newspaper. I only hope this is a ship owned and operated by our United States military. Anyway, I will probably never find out what it was. There is nothing much more to tell, other than what I have written here today. In addition, I have written the San Bernardino Sun newspaper to find out if there has been any other information that has been reported. I believe in God. My dad and I have seen meteorites hit the ground out in the desert on our way back from Arizona before, but I have never seen anything like this in all my life. I never thought things like this were important. Thanks for your interest.

It was a cigar shaped object with blue purple blinking lights.It was headed North while I was facing North East.It did not make any noise. It took about three whole arm lengths in the sky. I could not measure it because i did not know how close it was. It was a clear night 67° with 5% perspiration and winds of 8 miles per hour.

Fresno, CA
This is a sighting from a few months ago; I documented it in writing at the time so the details are correct. While riding as a passenger in a car in a residential area of the Tower District of Fresno, CA, I saw a strange light in the sky and asked the driver to pull over for us to get a better look at it. It was dusk, verging on night, so we got a good view of twenty or more luminous objects meandering across the sky from north to south, as if in a disorganized squadron. The light from the objects was similar in effect to a candle or firefly; there was no sound at all. We watched this display for about 5 to 7 minutes, until each UFO was out of sight.

Desert Hot Springs, CA
I was visiting my parents’ house in Desert Hot Springs, CA, for a Mother’s Day dinner on Sunday, May 10, 2015. At approximately 6:40pm PST, my family I had just finished eating dinner while sitting outside on the patio. We were noticing some small birds gathering near my parents' bird feeder, when we then saw 4-5 large egrets fly over the house. This in and of itself is rather odd, as that is not a bird we typical see in our area of the Coachella valley. I turned towards where the egrets were coming from and noticed a silver sphere/orb rise above the roof line of the neighboring house. I would estimate this object to be within a mile of our location and no more than 1,000 off the ground. It appeared to be a perfect metallic sphere, with no visible wings, engine, windows, landing gear, etc. The object was also completely silent and no other visible planes were in the area at that time. My mother and I saw the object for about 10-15 seconds before it disappeared behind a small gathering of clouds. We were about 10 miles away from Palm Springs International Airport and regularly see planes flying above and near the house. I am also a member of the Palm Springs Air Museum and consider myself an amateur airplane photographer and have the ability and knowledge to identify many types of aircraft. This was nothing like I have ever seen.

I am writing this report because this is actually the second time I have seen this same craft/object/?. I was traveling back to my motel after dinner at approx. 17:00 hrs. and I was pulling into the parking lot. I was turning off the car ignition when I glanced up and saw this very large ( to me ) object seemingly floating and/or stationary in the sky maybe a few hundred feet up,maybe more ,maybe less. I couldn't be sure as I was partially obscured by some small trees.It was like," what the hell is that???" I tried to look at it a few seconds more and couldn't believe what I was actually seeing.I quickly opened the car door and moved between the trees but it was gone. This was the same object I saw driving,about the same time of day, in northern California on approx. 8/14. Both times were in broad daylight.That was the first time. Exactly the same ufo I witnessed in Jersey.Same shape ,color and movement (or lack there of ). No beams, no sounds,no trail,did n! ot change color,emitted no other objects that I could tell and no lights. It was a weird color though. I looked around at the Jersey location for someone who also may have seen it but no one was near enough. These things are pretty large to have not shown up on radar or something!? Is this what it is like to go crazy? Am I seeing things? Do I need to see a doc? I don't use drugs or drink, so I personally have no explanation. I hope this report helps.

Stockton, CA
Looking into the sky on the hood of my car. In the south east sky over Stockton, Ca. I thought I had seen a bright flash of white light about the size of a bright star. No big deal "right." I rubbed my eyes and continued to look thinking maybe I saw a plane. After that thought I starred into a fixed spot between 2 stars. Then every 5 to 10 seconds, I was able to see this same light over and over. Only differance being that it would appear from the southeast to the northeast over and over. I thought maybe a sattalite....until the last 30 or 45 seconds of my experiance. In those last seconds, 2 white lights blinked next to each other a few times stationary. Then 2 seperate like shooting stars going in seperate directions left the sky. Wow!!! That is all I can say!! I have heard the stories....read alot of stuff. But this was the first time i ever questioned what did I just see.

On the night of May 6, 2015 my husband and I went to bed at 21:00. At 23:25 I woke up to go to the bathroom. Before returning to bed, I pulled the blind away from the window to adjust the windows opening and noticed out in the Northwest just above the horizon very bright glowing orange circular light. I quickly went to the living room to get the binoculars so I could get a better look. Viewing the light through the binoculars I saw that the bright glowing orange circular light was pulsing, and when it pulsed, it would turn to a darker orange, then back to the light orange. It was very beautiful. While watching the glowing orange circular light for about 3 minutes, it started to move backward until out of sight. I didn't wake my husband because I didn't want to miss anything. I told him next time I would wake him up if it happens again. :) It sure was awesome to witness!

Del Rosa/San Bernardino, CA
My husband and I heard what we believed to be a large, low flying helicopter outside above our home just prior to 11:00 p.m. tonight (May 2, 2015). I went out and observed a large helicopter following a fast moving sphere (ball) of light. The ball was a burnt orange in color, appeared to be approximately ½ the size of the helicopter, and both were traveling from the West in an Eastward direction. The object was traveling significantly faster and was ahead of the helicopter, approximately 50-100ft away on the South side. It appeared to slow its speed twice for the helicopter to catch up before they were out of my sight. I had a very good view of them as there is a nearly full moon out, the sky was clear, and they flew directly over me. A strange and beautiful sight…

Single object was seen in the northwest section of the sky. Possibly over San Fernando Valley. Spotted it driving West on the 134 Glendale. Was seen from the L.A. River, Glendale to the Olive Ave. exiting the 5 North, Burbank. Was a flat circular object that seemed stationary. Possibly a metallic surface appeared to have light reflecting off from the setting sun. Aerial perspective had improved while traveling closer.

While we were walking to the car we stop in the middle of the parking talking about snow station (the ice cream parlor) they had their backs towards the parking lot, I was facing the parking lot. My friends were having their own conversation so I dozed off, I looked up into the sky and I saw this bright dot of light in the sky, I assumed it was a star, but then the light dashed across the sky and disappeared. Later on, I started think about the strange light I kept trying to make my self believe it was a star but I live in the city I rarely see stars in the sky, and if it was a shooting star it would burn out but it didn't. It just whe straight and disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Martinez, CA
At approximately 23:20 hours, myself and two friends noticed a large, bright light. It was the level of the hillside across the road. About 100 yards high. It hovered and moved left and right, forward and back. The distance of the movements was probably a few feet at a time. These movements happened randomly, and were not rhythmic in any way. When the movements were executed they seemed circular, they did not move in a straight line from left to right, but made an arc. The light was round, bright and white. We could also see a red light that was much smaller and appeared to be behind the white light. At the beginning of the sighting, the object was about a half mile away from us. After a couple of minutes of watching it, it moved forward toward us to about 1/4 of a mile away. Then it moved back to its original distance. After around 10 minutes it began to move away while keeping the same position in the sky, for the light got smaller and dimmer. It finally moved beyond the crest of the hill and disappeared.

I was outside looking up at the moon when I spotted a triangular craft flying across the sky. At first I thought it was a low flying plane, but then I realized there were no lights at all. I live near LAX so there were a lot of other aircraft in the sky at the time, but I've never seen anything without lights. Also, it appeared to be dark brown in color, and had 2 small spheres attached to it's sides. I could not tell if there was any sound since there was a large truck nearby running a very loud pump.

On April 27 2015 approximately 6:30 pm, I was in my front yard seeing my stepdaughter off to school (college). I looked down the street (south) and observed what I thought was a butterfly, white in color about a foot off the ground over the gutter heading toward my stepdaughter’s car, (moving north) as it approached rapidly I noticed that it was a very bright white ball of light (defused) about the size of a cotton ball no light scatter. It then hit the rear right tire and disappeared .. End of report.

Benicia, CA
I reported a formation on the 26th of April. I was returning to the port, when I scanned the sky and saw two disk looking objects in the sky. I called a coworker over and pointed at the sky, which was in the northern direction, about 80 degrees from the horizon, so nearly right over us. He kept thinking they were osprey, but then when I mentioned how shiny and reflective it was when the sun hit it, he agreed that it couldn't be a bird. I took several pictures of it and had to leave to work. When I had a minute to view the photos, none of them came out. They were all different shades of hot pink and granular, which is bizarre because I wasn't taking pictures into the sun nor was it my finger because every photo taken was a different shade of hot pink.

Berkeley (above), CA
i was d home on I-80 west towards Berkeley. There's a big turn just passed the Carlson exit which gives you a view of Berkeley. Right then I saw the formation. It was about 25 degrees off the horizon, so pretty low. They were not higher than the red pulsating lights from the radio tower near by. Seeing the formation made me feel uneasy. I quickly got off the freeway at the next exit and drove down to see it from a safer viewing point. The formation by then had dispersed, but the orbs still seemed relatively close together, until they finally either went dim or flew away. There was no sound heard from these orbs and it was a clear night. I have a video which I will link later.

While Camping at Black Rock campground in Joshua Tree National Park last night, we witnessed a UFO. While sitting at our campsite #34, looking NNE a orange triangular object w a red "torch" on top slowly silently crawled across the sky in a very horizontal line. After about 90 seconds, the object descended straight down increasingly getting more red until it disappeared behind trees. We all saw it in our group, and all of our stories about what we saw were exactly the same. I'm encouraging the others to imput their story here.

The aircraft made a second turn leaving com trails again before Coming close to the craft. I used 10x50 binoculars to view the craft and viewed a round type disk white and reflective. The craft also had a large hole in the middle that was darker than the blue sky. ' The craft didn't move at all and just disappeared. I took a picture with my iPhone 4 Wich I have uploaded to you. ((sic. YouTube??)) We have looked at the photo provided by the witness, and the one object we see appears to us to be a short contrail behind a high-altitude aircraft. PD
