An Unusual Object Hovering
Granite Bay. California
Date: February 4, 2008
Time: 8:05 p.m.

Driving north on Folsom-Auburn Rd from the city of Folsom toward Granite Bay. First spotted what appeared to me to be a large aircraft with I'm guessing 2 to 3 lights, very bright white, almost directly inline in the direction I was traveling. This was just a little south of Folsom Damn Road. My initial impression was of a commercial aircraft with landing lights on heading toward me. Based on this assumption, my estimate was that it was over the Roseville-Rocklin vicinity, maybe 10-15 miles distant. This was a winding, slightly hilly road and I was driving between 45-50 mph. Initially it was within my view for a few minutes consistently. I did not focus on it all the time but was interested in figuring out maybe what it was since it seemed unusual in it's flight path for the area. Most commercial lights run E/W and having landing lights at that position seemed premature, especially for any southbound flight path toward the old Mather AFB where I know there is corporate commercial traffic.

As I proceeded north, the road became more winding, with many tall trees bordering it. My view of the craft became more intermittent. My focus was on driving safely, since I still assumed it was nothing more than an aircraft. But I still tried to keep a general eye on it. Not knowing whether the winding road was affecting by judgment, my distinct impression was maybe it was gradually swerving in a gentle turn slightly west. The trees along the west side of the road were interrupting any continuous view to just a few seconds.

As I approached at some point seemed to be stationary in it's position. Without being positive one way or another, it is possible it was stationary more or less from the point I first saw it. At this point I assumed it was a helicopter, with not the ordinary display of lights. This still seemed off since this is not an area I would ordinary think of helicopters. These lights were not searchlight, as the they were not scanning and there was not light stream through the sky. At approximately 2 - 1 ½ miles of Douglas road it was evident the object was hovering within a mile ahead maybe ½ - ¾ west of Folsom Auburn Rd. Not knowing it's size but based on my speed an approaching it I would guess it was between 500 - 1000 feet in altitude.

At this point I was pretty sure it was not a helicopter. There was no noise associated with it. The lights were more blurry at this point, not knowing whether it was due to cloud overcast or moisture in the air. My observation was still limited to quick glances of it when it came into view. My distinct impression of it at this point was of something pointing E/W, large hovering with some type of frame of lights on its south facing side. At this point I felt it had to be a blimp, or some very large balloon like object. I felt I needed to pull of to get a better and consistent view of it. There was a single vehicle behind me, following closely but no shoulder to safely pull over. I knew there was a place to turn off right within a couple hundred yards so I kept proceeding. At this point I was approaching being perpendicular with the object to the East. At this point I was able to see some of its outline. The sky was fairly dark and I could see slight difference in the shade of darkness between the object and the background sky. I saw it twice for just a split second each time. It seemed I was mostly seeing maybe the top right quarter of the object, and the closest I can say was it appeared do be blimp-like. The top portion ran E/W slight curving downward East with it changing to something indistinguishable at its end. The light were still on but much less visible and bright, seemed to be slight away from the body of the object. My impression of the lights were very indistinct, blurry, maybe shadowy, if that makes sense. There was awareness of a bulk behind them but at the same time I saw nothing distinct that you would think you would see based on the lights even if they were pointing away from the object.

I lived in Southern California for thirty years until the early 1980's, and seeing blimps were a very common occurrence living in northern Torrance near the Goodyear blimp airfield in Carson. This just seemed different. Too low to the ground where there was no imminent landing. The lights were different. Not like the normal running lights of an airship and definitely not like the commercial lights for ad display. There was no familiar hum of the engines. There was absolutely no sound at all.

As pulled past it slightly the lights were less easily seen, my assumption because I was now behind it, more toward it's north side. I pulled over on the next intersection at Fuller St. and made a quick U-turn and pulled over to the curb, expecting to see the object facing west at maybe 10-11 o'clock. But to my surprise, it was already moving south, much quicker than I anticipated, especially since I assumed it was a balloon like object. I could still see lights but much dimmer and it was moving south still. I'm guessing maybe at this point it was 1-2 miles away already. This shocked me. Blimps do not move that fast. But at the same time, it did not seem to pulling away at a fantastic speed. I decided that if it was a blimp like object I should be at least able to keep in view for awhile if I headed back south in direction I came and the direction it was proceeding so I turned left back on Auburn Folsom Rd. I had to wait from 5-10 seconds for the light to change. Already the object was I'm guessing was at least 5 mi, so I was anxious but still I followed. I only caught a glimpse of the light a couple times. Losing sight due to the winding road and the trees. I knew after I got closer to Folsom Damn Road my view would open up and then I might be able to reacquire my observation. My impression was that since I was no longer able to see the lights that it had moved back east across the road and that I had missed this flight path. When I got to the clear area it definitely not south or southwest. It was not in the air east either but I concluded the only possible conclusion for the disappearance of the craft was it went east over Lake Folsom or landed in that direction. I thought all of the assumptions were very slim. I was just trying to think of a rational logical explanation for what I observed.

If I heard this story from someone I would be skeptical. I would assume there were flaw in persons observations, logistically in the least. I am not one to make any fantastical assumptions about anything in life. I ALWAYS assume a logical explanation for everything that seems less than logical. I am very observant and analytical. Its what I do and who I am. Most people would consider me very intelligent and very informed.

If someone could explain to me possible scenarios to what I observed I would welcome them. Based on my experience I can think of absolutely nothing that would conform to my observations. Thought I will admit my view of the object were fleeting and less than very distinct, they were such that they were very analytical. I would definitely refute anybody's allegation of anything that would explain it that did not fall in line with what I observed. But at the same time I would accept that would explain it that made sense. But my sense of the timing and logistics were very accurate. I would say my guestimates of distance and height are subject to some question based on the size of the object and never getting more the a second or two glimpse of it, my ability to gauge these things has always been way above average. I am a very observant fellow. I do not base my observations on whims like most people. If I say something, it is. If I'm not sure, I will say so without problem. If I don't know, I will say so.

As far as my thoughts whether this was observed by anyone else, until I figured out it was hovering, I doubt if most people in the cars would have assumed anything abnormal. If I lived in the vicinity of where it was hovering and was outside, I'm guessing if I saw it I would had observed it. I'm guessing within a mile of the object, anyone walking or outside would have definitely after seeing it, would have continued to observe it. It was a cool night and maybe two hours after sundown. The air was generally still and the sky seemed mostly overcast but I could distinguish of couple of stars. This a suburban, semi-rural area. There seemed to be slight reflection of city lights off the overcast clouds but getting darker definitely as you move East, with it getting much darker just about at the juncture of Auburn-Folsom road, with the definite effect of the large Lake Folsom to the immediate east. When I saw the silhouette, this difference in shade of darkness of the object and sky was very slight but enough to distinguish the shape that I saw.

UFO Flat/Square Or Possibly Triangular (Photos - Graphics)
Murrieta, California
Date: February 7, 2008
Time: 2:15 a.m.

HBCC UFO Research will request the pictures to see what the witness filmed. This sounds like an interesting sighting for sure.

I was sitting up late last night, or, early however you look at it, watching the NFL Network when I heard the next door neighbor's two dogs begin to bark franticly. About 2-3 minutes after that I heard a very low soft crescendoing, guttural vibration that was so low it began shaking the cabinets in the kitchen.

At first I thought it was our heating unit making crazy noises but I soon realized the sound was coming from outside. I stepped out side my front door and instantly I found the source of the sounds. When I looked up there was a very large square-possibly triangular, depends if I was seeing it at an angle, machine/craft whatever you want to call it. It seemed to be spinning from right to left and making slow banking maneuvers.

The two pictures I have of the object seem to show it making banking maneuvers. When I realized this was something I had never seen before civilian or military I reached inside the front door and grabbed my cell phone off of the light stand and snapped off a pretty decent picture.

Of course like most UFO pictures it is a little blurry. My cell phone is a very low resolution phone. After that I ran into my bedroom and grabbed my digital camera in hopes of getting a more detailed picture but I was so nervous and jazzed about what I was seeing the second picture that I had time to take was not that good either.

The object, in my opinion was moving at a high rate for its apparent size, I'm not very good at guessing speeds but I would say it was traveling in the mid 100s. The object continued on its southern to northerly pattern and finally disappeared into the night.

To describe the object I would have to say it looked like a huge pizza box with lights on two of its seemingly 4 side panels that were opposite of each other. The one thing I noticed from being in the military and the fact there are bases all over the place out here, I initially thought military primarily because the object had a dull military blue-grey color. However this was no craft that I have ever experienced military or any other.

Additional Information:
I have attached the two pictures that I was able to take. Like I said my body was being taken over by my beating heart at the time. As far as being on your radio show I would be happy to. I honestly believe this was some type of military aircraft seeing there are at least 3 bases in this area. Now, I don't subscribe to the ideas of extra terestrial life but being in the United States Marines as a Logistics Officer,I have seen almost every class of vehicles and aircraft Uncle Sam has to offer and this craft was of no known origin that I have knowledge of. So, here are the pics andI have also included a 3D photoshop image of what the craft looked like from my perspective. Take care and let me know when you are planning on doing the show. I almost forgot to tell you that I was researching that next morning to see if anyone had reported the craft. I found nothing local but I did however find an article where a guy in Alberta Canada sighted a very similar craft. The only glitch is that his sighting was around 1:15am and mine was at 2:15am. There is no way it could have been the exact same object so that draws me to the conclusion that A) The craft has a jump mechanism or B) There are more than one of these things. I don't know. The only thing I do know is that what I saw was amazing.

Green Flash Lights Entire Area
10 Miles South Of Nelson, British Columbia
Date: February 7, 2008
Time: Approx: 4:50 a.m.

It is 5:35am February 7, 2008 and at about 4:50 am I could not sleep and there was a problem with the power flickering and running at half power or less, that is the electricity. So I decided that since there was a foot of snow outside I would go out and shovel some. I was outside and all of a sudden the sky lit up from a local point about 1 kilometer away. I live 10 miles south of Nelson, B.C. Canada. I mean the sky lit up like the sun, but green and the air was thick with what I can only describe as electricity. The hair on my body was standing on end. The light and the energy seemed to pulse and increase for about one minute, and almost audible thrumming pulsing sound also accompanied the green light. Right after this occurred the lights started flickering and then the power was gone. I had power in my laptop so I decided to tell someone right away in case it turns out to be important. This was like no experience I have ever had.

Spherical Green UFO
Downtown, West-End Vancouver, British Columbia
Date: February 7, 2008
Time: 8:30 p.m.

At 8:30 pm my girlfriend and I were sitting in our living room on the fifth floor of (location removed) (our suite faces south over False Creek). I happened to be looking out our balcony window, when there was a large round (from my perspective, had the sense it was spherical) green light. The object was enormous and low, probably level with the tenth floor of our building. It's difficult to gauge it's size but it appeared to be over False Creek and from my vantage point it looked to be a few hundred feet in diameter. The centre of the object was brilliantly green and the light defused further from the centre. The bizarre thing was that it didn't diffuse entirely as it radiated, but had a very defined edge. The object appeared, remained for about two seconds, then vanished. My girlfriend was not looking out the window, but the green light lit our apartment and she also saw something green in the sky in her peripheral vision. There must be hundreds of witnesses to this event in the West-end and Kitsilano.

Bright Round And Unusual Object
Greater Los Angeles, California
Date: February 8, 2008
Time: 5:30 a.m.

My husband, who is nocturnal and has on several occasions witnessed UFO at late hours, woke me up around 5:30 am, telling me to look off our balcony in Studio City which faces north. We could hear helicopters in the area and appeared to be circling a huge white light. We got our camera out and took as many pictures as possible. This light, to the naked eye, was too big to be an aircraft, did not move but rather stayed in the same position for quite a while. When viewing through our camera lens, right before it would take picture, it would bring it in to focus and looked like a sparkling white light, almost like the bud on a firecracker. It was brilliant. To the naked eye, it looked like the white light had a sparkling reflection off of it like an exaggerated diamond solitaire. When we turned on the news there was a live broadcast of a traffic accident on the 101.

Round UFO With Lights
No.2 Westminster Hwy In Richmond, B.C.
Date: February 8, 2008
Time: 9:59 p.m.

We were in the car, heading north when I suddenly saw something in the air as we were approaching the No.2 bridge in Richmond. It was stationary, floating on top of the condos by the water. Then as I thought to myself, "What could it be?", it suddenly moved, flying towards the east side. It flew by quite slowly and it was quite large and quite close to the ground. I kept looking for a wing or a tip, but it was just a round object with white and red lights around it. It was shaped like a typical "UFO" as portrayed by the media. I immediately asked my husband if he saw what I saw and he said "Yes". Then suddenly in front of our eyes, the object went invisible. I actually saw the object slowly disappearing into mid air as if it had never existed. My husband and I both saw this and were quite amazed/scared. A Tube Shaped Craft
Altoona, Iowa
Date: February 8, 2008
Time: 4:30 p.m.

As I left my house to go to work, I noticed something strange in the sky that was flying below the clouds. It was moving fairly fast and it came from the north and was heading south. It looked long and it looked like a tube. There were also windows or holes. The color of this object was a tan color, it wasn't a plane because this object did not have wings. The sighting lasted for about three minutes and I watched the object until it flew behind some trees and that is when I lost sight of it. Once again I am puzzled by what is going on in the area.
