Clear Lake, CA
It was around 4:25 PM, just after a massive storm that had brought extremely high winds, ripping roofs off homes and pulling down trees. The next day, the winds were still blowing. However, there was no rain. The clouds were unusually low and moving rapidly. I was working on my Mustang, installing a new water pump, when something in the sky caught my attention. I looked up to see a cigar-shaped craft. It had black rectangular windows or possibly doors on the sides, spanning almost the entire height of the craft, though not quite, leaving a bit of space above and below. There were about twenty of these black rectangular shapes, lined side by side, each separated by an equal distance that matched their size. The craft had no lines, joints, creases, rivets, screws, or visible assembly points. It appeared to have a metallic skin unlike any color I've ever seen—metallic but not silver, more of a tan. Interestingly, there were no markings on it, nor any lights typical of an aircraft. Also, it emitted no sound. Despite the extremely high winds, the craft remained stationary the whole time. This was no balloon. It was colossal, larger than a 747. It was void of wings, engines, or tails. It was roughly the size of an aircraft carrier, and the black doors on its side were sizable, just right for a frisbee-shaped disc to flip sideways and slide in, much like a CD entering a car stereo. The craft moved and maneuvered in ways our technology cannot. It disappeared in a blink and then reappeared, slowly creeping into a cloud. Suddenly, it zoomed off, and even though it was no longer visible, I could tell which way it had gone. The clouds it passed into were drawn in by its passing, creating a clear path.

From a Long Beach office on the fourth floor, looking in the NE direction, my co-worker and I saw a black rectangular object. It was moving in an east to west direction. It turned in such a way that it seemed to have disappeared. It reappeared for a moment heading in the opposite direction. It made one last turn where it seemed to disappear again. I estimate it was over the cities of Covina or San Dimas.

After a while, it finally began to go the opposite way, so it looked like it was getting smaller and smaller. Possible star or planet? PD

i was outside having a smoke in my car it has a moon roof on it so i slide it open the moonroof up and i was just glancing at the sky when something caught my eye it was flying really high probably around 60,000 ft there is a comercial plane highway running on top of our small town so i seen the planes flying really high aprox: 35,000 ft this object was flying high than the plane but as the planes started passing the object oval in size was stationary and i notice the planes were aware of the object in the air pretty sure if some how you checked air traffic control for 03/01/15 over madera, ca the pilots must have notice i managed to photograph the object with my ihone and video....video quality sucked but my photo it has color filters and once you change them and look its there stationary over central california i dont think you could see stars or planets with the naked eye plus the sun was refecting off it ufo

Huge flashing light the size of a football stadium over the mountains in the clouds then two more often the distance flashing at the same intervals all of them stationary and hovering. The flashes from what I think a looked like a giant ball of flashing lightning perfect intervals were so brightly lit up the whole sky

My husband, father in law, and I were outside and looked up in the sky and the "big dipper" looked flattened and very bright, then we realized it was moving... it wasn't the constellation, but it was several objects that looked like stars due to the altitude. They continued to get higher and further east. It appeared there were over 20 objects. Moving rapidly, changing position as they propelled across the sky.

On February 26th, 2015, at 12:30 AM, my friend accompanies me on a dog walk, as I get out of late. I noticed a bright orange light, too orange to be a planet, in the sky. Because it was moving slowly we agreed it was not a planet or meteorite. I asked him, is that an airplane? He answered no, if it was an airplane it appears it would be falling. It began to get slightly brighter and continued moving slowly. Too slow to be an airplane, or helicopter, completely silent and nothing like we've both ever seen before. My friend noted a triangular shape. This lasted a total of maybe three minutes. Then, it began to get dimmer in brightness. Then within a 5-10 second time span, it began to appear to blink, getting smaller and then completely disappeared. We both do not take drugs, I am college educated and hold a Bachelor's degree, and have up until this point been very skeptical. My friend is healthy, intelligent and well-read and reasonable and both of us do not have mental illness(s).

Berkeley, CA
There is a light about 10,000 feet or more above the Berkeley Hills in Berkeley, CA. The light appears stationary and pulsates a red and blue light. My companion and I stared at it for at least 5 minutes and it was still there when I left- it doesn’t appear to be a star, since the blue and red colors are so pronounced. It also may have slightly shifted from right to left and back again, which one can only detect because of the lights relative position to the buildings from our perspective. The light is located in what appears to be the northeastern sky from the downtown Berkeley area, just over the Berkeley or perhaps the Oakland hills area.

Movement patterns were too erratic for known aircraft. Objects traveled from east to west prior to heading north/west. Weird.

two of us were outside clearing up a fallen tree. We took a rest break and laid down on two chaise lounges, we were facing the sky. after awhile we heard a loud hum like a jet plane might make only it seemed closer. we could not see anything in the clear sky above except the daytime cresent moon. then we saw the aircraft. it had a very long fuselage and four wings. ...heading south. most diffently one craft. it was flying lower than any aircraft we commonly see here. the craft was grey blue. there was on contrail.

Peter Davenport UFO Report: Woke up around 3:30 AM, Tuesday morning, 2/23/15. Looking out my south facing bedroom window; I saw a white smoked trail going from east to west or from west to east. This was In the San Bernardino area to Los Angeles area. Not sure what it was. Thanks! Just thought you might want to know.

The object in question was very bright and as I was looking at it with binoculars, I could see it change by at the bottom of it formed a brighter spot and then the brighter spot separated from the main object and increased distance between them. Then the two objects came back together. Soon after that the moon and the object (s), rotated out of view. Don't know what it was, but it was something for sure! Venus? PD

Truckee/Cisco Grove, CA
I am a truck driver. I was on my way into california and I had just gone through the weigh and agriculture Check station a few minutes before i came around a bin on i-80 when I noticed what seem to be a cylindrical object just over the tree line. it had three lights on it that where dim. but they where brighter than any star and it was definitely in our atmosphere. I almost stoped my truck to see it longer but the sight and location of it scared me l seemed to be the only one on the road that morning. I kept going so I only Saw it for 45 seconds to a minute. It made no movement. It just hovered over the tree line. This report originally was posted with a flawed date. We have corrected the date above, and re-post the report. PD

Mt. Shasta (above), CA
I am an airline captain. My co-pilot and I were on our way from LAX-PDX at FL 380 and we were in the Mt. Shasta area. It was a smooth flight and very little ATC communications were going on. We decided to look out and up at the night sky for falling stars and or satellites passing over head. We were heading about 310 degrees and to our 2 o'clock high, maybe 50 degrees up from the horizon I noticed 2 brighter than normal stars and mentioned to my co-pilot that I didn't remember ever seeing those 2 stars that were brighter than the surrounding stars in the background. The 2 lights were approximately an inch apart in the windscreen and the size if normal stars. Just as I said that one of the "stars" just dimmed out over about a 10 second time span followed by the other one dimming out completely in about 10 seconds also. The stars, now obviously lights we not in motion, they were not satellites and were not falling stars. They were as stationary as th! e stars in the background. We were flying in crystal clear skies and were not flying though any clouds whatsoever. These 2 lights were not following the typical west to east orbital path as most satellites do and were just sitting there kind of like ships hiding in plain sight. The altitude of the lights appeared to be outside of the atmosphere. We were flying at 38,000, approximately 7 miles up and these were at least 100,000 feet up. The thing was they were extremely bright and not moving. Mankind does not have craft that can fly at that altitude and not be moving. We spoke with the witness, and airline captain, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded, and quite serious about his report. PD

My boyfriend and i had gone to visit a couple of friends not far from our home. After hanging out in the front yard for some time it started to get dark and we were gazing at the night sky talking about some of the strange lights and movements of the lights noticed lately by the 5 of us. We were looking west and just above the horizon we noticed a brighter and larger than normal "star". In about ten minutes the light had moved quite a bit higher in the sky and all the while seemed brighter and closer to us than any other star. I then began gazing at a plane crossing the sky from north going south and as it passed by under a small reddish "star". Then as it was almost past the "star", that red thing then took off chasing the plane. Then after it was almost caught up to the plane it reduced speed and seemed to go then outward and farther from our view. All 5 of us noticed this and 4 of us had never seen anything like it before. What was really strange was the 5th person had just been telling us that he has seen those (what he refers to as "wobblers") chasing aircraft before. Also strange, he noted that they for some strange reason seem to respond to us observing them and since i feel he just might be right.

The orb was moving at great speed and was a good distance off. It never varied from it straight line path until no longer visible. Fascinating. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Our family, including wife, myself, son, and grandson enjoy launching model rockets skyward at a suburban area, free from aircraft and people in general. I video recorded the launchings. In further review of the videos frame by frame, small bright white to grey-scaled and colorful spherical objects larger than a basketball were found moving east to west and back, near ground level at high speed. Although very bright, we did not notice the object's presence at the time of capture. The subject videos were taken during midday. While reviewing videos taken in February and March of 2015 at a later time, I noticed objects near or touching launched rocket components at altitude (approximately 1500ft) after parachute deployment. One video was shown to Terry Ray, a MUFON Field Investigator, in person, at our residence on September 25, 2015. The objects were of several shapes and colors. All of them were less than two feet in length/diameter. Some were elongated, while others were bright white, orange, yellow, blue, or neutral in hue. The videos were carefully analyzed, then imaged with a still camera, the same Nikon D5100 and 18-200 mm ED lens used in the original capture. While advancing frames I noticed extremely fast spherical objects moving east to west to east in front of a tree line located about 100 yards to the south from the launch pad. There is also a surveyor's marker approximately 3-feet tall located about 100 feet, also south of the pad. Using the marker to scale the objects close to and in front of it, their size could be roughly determined. From video, I also captured eight objects of uniform size above a small mountain crest to the southwest of the launch pad. They appear static and in sharp focus. Additionally, a series of images show a fast, diffuse object traveling south-south east in the sky, then in front of a mountain crest, before becomming a static grey metallic orb-like object much larger than the other bright and colorful spheres indicated above. Spherical objects can be seen near the top and in front of the surveyor's marker. They are white and/or orange in hue. The only sound heard were rocket launchings and human responses. I recently checked the rocket with a ultraviolet light and did not notice any unusual marks on the rocket components. Nor were there any marking on the tube, fins, or nosecone. There are many images taken that show in detail all of the above sightings. I shall return to the launch site for further study with better equipment, including a chair to sit on at the surveyor's marker during launches and after. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

During the moment I was waiting to see if the truck was going to take the turn when a low flying air craft slowly flew above the road heading east flying directly above the road. It was flying so slowly that I can’t imagine how it even stayed in the air; it was almost like a hover. The aircraft made no noise at all it was flying so low i should have heard the engines or something. I wanted to follow it but I turned onto the freeway thinking there is no way I just seen what I seen I couldn’t even believe it myself. I was wondering if that truck seen it and what were they thinking. The object flew directly over me, its underbelly was dark but it had three lights that were bright enough to give off the silhouette of the shape of the craft. One light was on the underbelly of the craft at the nose section is what I’m guessing and the other two on the corners of what I guess would be the wings of the craft. It was a triangular craft but the back end was like a v and it had lights streaming back and forth like the lights on kit from knight rider except the lights were bright white. I don't know how it could of been close to the area without being detected when there is an Air Force base close by and a naval satalite building and a Marine armory. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was taking photos of a large contrail while I was standing outside my front door. When I looked at the photos, I saw that there was a red circular shaped object with 3 spokes in the center in the photo near the contrail. The object looked like a red wheel with 3 spokes. I did not see the object while I was taking the photos. The object appeared in several of the photos that I took within a few minutes. The object seemed to slowly disappear as the object bagan to fade in the last photos that I took. The UFO appeared to be about the size of a large aircraft. Photo of object provided. We cannot identify the object. PD

These houses were on hills and from the distance it looked as if they were floating low. All I know is that these lights were a faded green color. As soon as I registered what I was seeing, the lights slowly faded away and they were gone. Mind you, today's been extremely windy, so the sky looked especially crystal clear.
