In the middle of the day me, my kids and my nephew noticed a flat white curls in the sky and I took my daughters phone to try and take picture but it wouldn’t do that nor video, as we got closer we noticed it turn silver and disappear. I then called my wife to tell her what we witnessed

About 6 or 7 military jets flew over at high altitude about 10 minutes before this event. While out herping my family and I witnessed a bright light come from the east over a nearby hill. It was making impossible maneuvers/movements in a diamond shape. It would move in right, down, left, right, down, left, up and stop, come closer to us and do the same thing for about 4-5 minutes. The closer it got, the more we became uncomfortable. We jumped in our vehicle and drove west to leave the area. We continued to watch it behind us as we drove, it climbed and disappeared into the south eastern sky.

My nine-year-old,and myself seen oval ball shaped it’s was very large and started off high in the sky. It was a strange color of green and as it got lower it lit up the my room green, and then took off at unbelievable fast speed in seconds. But before the large ball There were other little lights that we saw those were higher! and moved from one side to the other until they disappeared and one of them was like a shooting star.

A "ribbon" of light materialized on a gun metal grey disk shaped craft. The ribbon appeared to be the windows of the craft. It appeared to descend behind a hill located on private property on the Madera side of lost lake, San Joaquin River. Note: South of Friant Dam. It made no sound.

My dad took these pictures on his phone at 3am. He watched this blue circular object move up, down and to the sides for almost two hours. Some people say it could be a satellite, but I didn't think they moved in different directions in the same place for almost two hours. I have 3 short videos also if there's a good place to upload. My dad thinks is was maybe a mile or so out, but it seemed close and pretty large.

I'm a sky-watcher. While walking my dog, I spotted a very bright light high in the sky, not Venus. It moved very slowly across the sky from S to N. At times it seemed to stop...then move on again very slowly. I watched for 10 minutes when suddenly, it did what I call "jumping" or "skipping" in short start/stops, moving towards the E slowly. I've seen other UFOs do the same thing. It is like it was jumping from one spot to another rather than in a linear pattern smoothly. It was still there when I went indoors, jumping/skipping towards the E. A few times the light skipped in a zig/zag pattern as it moved along. The light must have been a huge object because it was so bright and obvious in spite of being so high in the sky.

While driving east bound on 10 fwy, I saw this cylindrical object just past the end of the runway at Ontario airport, maybe one or two miles. The object was not moving. It was in the direct flight path. It was at the correct altitude of a plane coming in for landing. The craft was cylindrical but wider than it was tall by at least double. The object had shiny metallic looking panels. From my viewpoint the center panel was taller and wider than the panels next to, as they wrapped around the object. I believe there were at least five large metallic panels. Some smaller panels. The reason I noticed it was because it was stationary. It was difficult to see, at first, because the color looked like different shades of metal, from dark, almost black to shiny almost white. Behind it were the San Bernardino mountains, which were gray brown. The sky was clear. Once noticed the object was easy to see. It made no sound. Had no lights. No smell. No windows. Did not move. Hung in the air. After seeing the object on 8/4/2022 I forgot about it completely. Then on 8/25/2022 while driving past that exact location, I remembered it again. Then quickly forgot it. Yesterday 10/4/2022, while driving on the 10 freeway in that exact location I remembered it again. During the day I repeated seeing it in my mind to try to remember when I got home so that I could write it down. Not only do I remember it today but I did a sketch of it. The object was a bit darker than shown. It had more panels than shown.

I woke up by strong light and two weird sound and when I have awareness I saw 2 aliens were looking at me and they were scanning my head. I can feel some kind of vibration on my head and I feel I was floating and my soul were out of my body. (It’s hard to describe in English even my mother language Chinese.) Then they disappeared. Glad I had camera and I caught my evidence to prove I’m not crazy and this is not a dream! I was so scary but now I believe Aliens are real!

Was talking to my gf when I noticed two semi white circular objects flying above us heading south bound. The craft made no noise it only displaced a bunch of air. These crafts flew about the speed of a fighter jet just with no sound. I will continue to monitor the sky. Investing in high tech cameras to capture them know that I know they are real.

Me and my girlfriend saw a circle flying in the sky that was really bright and reflective and it disappeared as fast as we saw it. We could tell it wasn’t a plane or drone by how it was flying and just how bright it was . It was extremely reflective like a mirror and then it vanished.

Canoga Park, CA
9:47P.M. Pacific Standard Time, West San Fernando Valley. Seen from the intersection of Hackney Street and Independence Avenue. The object was a ball of VERY BRIGHT white light (just like a star) that at first glance one would think it is Venus only to immediately notice something very wrong here. This light/object was a full four to five times as bright and big as what Venus normally is. Its light flickered in out and just as the light started completely fading out it then STARTED MOVING fast and towards the North. The best reference point I can provide as to exactly where in the sky it stationary would be in vicinity of the star Vega at 9:47P.M. This was NOT Venus. As far as from what location this object was seen, the best description from where it was seen from approximately the intersection of Hackney Street and Independence Avenue, 70 degrees up, towards the East. This is in the Canoga Park district of Los Angeles, California. This was not a drone, helicopter, or fixed wing aircraft. A high flying aircraft flying from the SouthEast to the NorthWest passed right by the same location only 30 seconds to a minute later. There is a good chance the crew in this aircraft saw this object/light in front of them as they were flying directly towards the same area where the object was floating.

My wife and I were out walking and we saw an object flying at very fast speed probably faster than 10 machs. It was flying lower than aircraft vicinity but was the fastest thing I have ever seen and it disappeared in the cloud in a few second. I immediately realized it was not a flight or a shooting star or any starlink satellites.

I was traveling northbound on Interstate 5 @ 85 mph in the fast lane. Lights came into view approimately 300' off the ground as they crossed in front of my vehicle. approximately 300' - 600' ahead of me. The lights were traveling westbound, stopped in the open fields west of the freeway, hovered for several minutes, and ascended vertically into the clouds. The cloud ceiling was 14,000 ft. in elevation at the time. The lights could be seen illuminating from within the clouds with the same intensity as you would see from the moon with the exception the moon would have backlit the clouds this light was internal. The fwy was moderately busy at the time of the sighting. All of the motorists on the freeway behind me either stopped, slowed or pulled over. The vehicles traveling northbound behind me had a better vantage point than I did since the lights were almost directly overhead of my vehicle when they came into my view. The event took place about 1/4 mile south of the Shields Ave exit in the outskirts, west of the city of Mendota. There was a yellow motorhome that had pulled over at the shields exit and persons were standing outside. I'm not sure if they stopped due to the sighting or maybe had vehicle trouble. There is currently one other online report from another motorist who was apparently behind me and describes the event in greater detail. There were multiple eyewitnesses although I did not speak w/ any. I would suspect that one of the vehicles behind me may have dash cam or phone footage of the incident.

I was driving around 10 pm Friday 7-29-2022 and witnessed 4-5 very large silent bursts of pale yellowish/white light in the sky. Unsure of height, maybe airplane level? Also, light bursts were spaced and not in the same spot - they would move further along in the sky and then voila another burst. Each light wouldn’t just disappear. They enfolded into themselves quickly kind of like clams. I tried to drive home quickly so I could get out and get a better look at them, but I lost sight of them.

Our motion was triggered on our camera at 4:04am and caught a video of a white object (looks like a frisbee shape) dart into our back yard and hover in one spot with beams above and below it. Our camera stopped at 23 seconds because it stops recording if motion stops.

The object was moving north to south at 7:17pm. I looked up flight data and didn't see any aircraft traveling in this direction. It was moving rather fast and went all the way across the sky. No condensation trail and no sound at all. I didn't see any wings. It appeared to be pretty high up and must have covered 20 miles in 30 seconds. Note - there is a dragon fly in the image as well, about 30 ft above me off to the left. I've been trying to look up most evenings and I've never seen anything odd. I have spa and will star gaze from time to time in the evening. I can see satellites from time to time, but those appear much smaller and moving slower. Look more like a slow moving star. This was nothing like that and still very sunny outside. My wife and I enjoy sitting outside in the evening in our backyard. I notice a number of planes regularly. Most are traveling west to east from the bay area and are very easy to make out. We see helicopters from time to time as well. All of those are very clear and obvious. If this was a drone, it appeared to be very high in the sky and came from at least Lodi and disappeared well south of here past Lathrop, Ca. Looking up flights during that time, nothing was in the area moving in that direction.

It was a moonless night about 9:15 pm. I was camping at Lost Lake Recreation Area. I sat by the San Joaquin River, Looked up and saw a "ribbon of light" vertical in the sky. It was dark grey in color, and materialized 225 ft. from where I sat at a picnic table which was about 2 ft. from the water, on the Fresno County Side of the San Joaquin River inside Lost Lake Recreation Area. The disk was on its side, vertical, when it appeared. It then manuevered itself into a horizontal position. There was a row of lighted windows around the entire craft. It made no noise and it descended behind a hill on the Madera County side of the San Joaquin River on land that is owned by the Water Reclamation Bureau, the northern most point of the strip of land is just south (below) the Friant Dam, and runs south, the length of the San Joaquin River. And, running alongside the government land, are grape vineyards owned by a private party. The name of the private road running adjacent to where the craft appeared to descend is Bureau Road. I did not have my cellphone with me.

Round redish orange light crossing over San Gabriel mountains going east to west very slowly. There were planes close by that had visible red and white blinking lights so we knew it wasn't a plane. All of a sudden vanished like it was turned off.

I was swimming in my swim spa when I noticed a dark shadow in the sky no light was being emmitted to the naked eye. I could see nothing except a slight shadow .When I put my infrared binoculars on it I recorded 2 minutes of what I described above. At about 1 min a dark matter entered the cylinder and all the colored particles dissapeared The object slowly faded and started to dissapear. It seemed the camera was malfunctioning, but it was not. The infared records in B&W, I see color through the the lens. I have other recordings . Mt Shasta is about 50 miles away. I can send the video

Some buddies and I were chilling in the mountains and ending up looking at the sky. We saw a solid beam of light in the sky. It seemed to be rotating from left to right. It slowly came from behind the trees and moved to the right in the sky. After that for about 45 seconds and is absolutely freaking out it suddenly went away from us very quickly until we couldn’t see it anymore. It was large and moving very fast. It emitted a lot of light. There were also planes in the sky when it was seen and this was probably 20x the size. The pictures that we were able to take don’t nearly do justice to what we actually saw.
