Lighthouse Effect then flash Over Gulf

While sitting in my yard stargazing looking SW towards the Gulf around 8:30pm. I was waiting and hoping for some meteor activity. I have noticed a lot (4 in a week) of shooting stars lately between sunset and 10pm.
It was a beautiful clear evening. I was looking at the same pulsing blue star that I have enjoyed for years when all of a sudden I saw a dim white glow about 15D SW of the blue star. I immediately switched my focus on that glow that gradually got brighter and brighter all while staying stationary. The glow got larger and brighter and then it flashed a brilliant white light that made me see spots as you would get from a camera flash at a short distance.
After the flash it dimmed and got smaller and then at amazing speed it either headed south or plunged down. My depth perception was affected by the flash, I had to rub my eyes to get full focus back.
I can only describe it as a lighthouse because of the way it faded in, flashed then faded out before it moved and disappeared. I have never seen a aircraft move as fast as this light did.
Being the skeptic that I am, I immediately tried to debunk what I just witnessed. I have ruled out every feasible possibility. My first thought was that it was a spotlight from a helicopter but the rate of speed ruled that out. Then I thought it could be a meteor, but since it did not move for 10-15 seconds and then move at such a fast rate of speed ruled that out as well. My other thoughts of what it was just seem to irrational to admit to.
It has been a week since the sighting and I have been watching the same area with nothing new to report. It was one of the few things that I can not explain.


Green and blue object with long orange trail

I was sitting ouside the back of my house smoking a cigarette with my wife. She said “look a shooting star” and i turned around to see what she was talking about. Initially it was white with a small streak behind it moving fast, as i turned around to look it turned green and blue with a very LONG orange contrail behind it. I observed the object for a total of approximately 5 seconds, from the time it lit up until it disappeared behind the trees in my back yard. The object rapidly picked up speed as the lights came on. The object was approximately headed south-south east from the area of crestview, florida. Honestly, it scared the ever loving **** out of me. I have never seen anything like this in my life. About an hour later i was speaking with my sister, she had seen my post on facebook about seeing a UFO (of which it included no description). She asked if it was Green and blue with an orange trail. I said yes. She and her boyfriend had seen the same thing, approximately 500 miles south of where I am, all the way in fort myers, florida. The event occured within the same minute that i saw it to when she saw it with her boyfriend. She reported the same object, moving at a fast rate of speed, headed in the same direction. I lost sight of the object as it passed behind the trees in my backyard, and then over the horizon. Im a combat veteran of Iraq, and this event scared my ********


Green Fireball with bright white fire trail, breaking up and exploding.

I was in my front yard, looking at the stars when I saw a bright green ball of light with a white firey tail. Their was a gap between the ball and the bright trail. The trail behind the ball seemed to made of of pieces that were closely spaced but each making a trail. Then about five seconds into the sighting the ball looked like it brighten then exploded and went out.
I had a camera at the time but was only able to capture only a light that went out. Buy the time I got it turned on the event was over.


Red Star-like object South of Chandler

I walked my dog out to the front yard and immediately my eye caught a bright red glowing object high up in the southwest portion of the sky. I immediately knew this was something unusual so I took him back inside and grabbed my phone. It was bigger than any planet or star and pulsated as it slowing travelled across the sky from west to east. My perception was that it was very high and probably miles away. We have those really tall palm trees in our neighborhood and it was travelling above them. It then stopped and in my perception hovered for a few minutes and slowly became smaller and smaller until it disappeared. This led me to believe that it was heading south. Possibly it was not hovering at all, but changed directions and appeared to be hovering. I tried to take a video with my cell phone but when I looked at it all I could see where normal colored stars. A plane did closely pass by it and I remember thinking to myself, “don’t they see that?” There were no other witnesses to the event.


Triangular craft with 5 lights in a V shape moving west of Whitecourt-was silent, no noise

I was going outside for a smoke and something made me look up. I seen a V shaped craft flying west, it appeared above the neighbors house across the street about 50 feet in the air and about 30 feet from tip to end. There were 5 lights arranged in a V shape, it was silent and made zero noise. i immediatley dismissed this to be anything i have ever seen. the body of the structure where the lights were built to seam like a black transparent body. not solid, but something else. reminded me of when you close your eyes and look into the sun and you see the sun spots. it was almost made of something like that. sounds similar to sightings in spruce grove and beamont areas of alberta i found on another sight. i watched it for a total of about 15 seconds. as soon as i seen it, it was moving so fast, i had to run to the side yard to continue to watch it. it flew past the trees blocking my vision travelled west towards the coast. it has truly strengthened my beliefs of extra terrestrials.


lights came at us slowly, stopped then rose vertically NE and NW

On the 29th of October, at about 8pm, I was sitting by a campfire with my friend and talking about the previous day and how special energies were reported to have come to the planet. I commented that I had not experienced anything out of the ordinary. I added that another friend had mentioned hearing that this new energy would allow UFOs to make more contact with us incrementally so the public wouldn’t be frightened until we all were ready for first major contact.

As I spoke, two other folks walked by and into my friend’s lumber yard looking for wood.

Suddenly, my friend looked behind me and upwards and asked, “what in the hell is that?”

I turned to see what appeared to be the front single front light of an aircraft coming directly toward us from the north, through the gap in two large trees across the road. The light appeared to be quite a distance away, perhaps miles
.
I first thought it to be an aircraft coming on an unusual glidepath to either Sacramento or San Francisco airports but instead of the usual steady or blinking white landing lights turned on when starting a procedure that I have observed near airports on several occasions, the sole light was larger than usual, and reddish/orange with a tinge of yellow on top in color.

The light proceeded slowly and directly toward us then abruptly stopped, stayed still for a moment or two, then started slowly upward toward the NE behind the tree.

Just as the first one moved upward, a second light just like the first repeated the procedure, then a third, then a fourth, only the fourth one moved upward toward the NW, to the left.

As we were gazing and commenting to each other about “what the hell are we watching?”, the couple emerged from the yard and the woman exclaimed, “what in the world is that?”

The man suggested that they might be flares on parachutes but flares on parachutes definately do not move toward us, stop then move upward completely out of sight behind the trees as these lights did. And, except for the lights, there were no other things to be seen, like smoke or reflections of a parachute.

Just last week my friend called me to check out Yahoo Sports where a link was posted, “UFOs spotted above a highschool football game on Oct. 29th in Scottsdale AZ!” at about the same time of night.


Larger craft that released a smaller object.

I was sitting out on my deck in my back yard. My 8 year old daughter was playing jump rope in the driveway and she said to me, “mommy the stars are moving.” I got up to look and as I turned I saw a large object with four lights that looked like stars, turn counter clockwise toward the north slightly east and release an object that looked like a round white orb. I said to my daughter you are right you did see something move. I continued to watch the small object as it moved to the southeast. It moved slowly but faster than an airplane, which I then spotted moving from east to west. At this point my mother came outside and observed the smaller object moving toward the southeast as well. My daughter saw the most of the event. After the smaller object was ejected, I lost sight of the larger object just after it released the smaller object. It was sort of trianglar shaped but had 4 lights but the 4th light was the object released. I lost track of the smaller object as it disappeared past the trees and other buildings in the neighborhood.


Object pulsing , ring of lights ,

I was looking outside in our back yard to see the stars , I seen this object in the distance with a glowing light . I run inside to get my viedo Recorder, I called my husband to look at this light , it started to get small then big , going from side to side , up & down . I zoom it in when the object would get bigger , that’s when I noticed the pulsing lights under the object .we keep asking each other “what’s that” . After a while I just could not believe what I just got on film , The object just disappeared And I have it on video .. I still am unsure of what this is but I know it something


I am still seeing more objects in my back yard.

Tonight we saw more of the star like objects, two were flying south, and one was flying north. But this time was a little more unusual, after the last object went out of sight this rotating craft just appeared out in the eastern part of the sky. We would say it was rotating by the light sequence, it was blinking with out a pattern. There was one solid red light on the craft and you could tell it was rotating around the craft. The other light colors were white and blue. This rotating craft was chasing the star like objects we would say by the way it was moving. It appeared out of no where and made no noise what so ever.
Also while I was writing this to you my nephew was out looking in the sky and saw two more rotating crafts and he also saw a very large bright light appear right above the trees and zoom across the sky at a rapid rate of speed. He said that the light appeared right above the trees and just take off.
Like I said before why are they picking my back yard to play around in? We are starting to get alarmed. Not knowing what something is, is a very un easy feeling. It seems like every night something more seems to happen. We have tried a digital camera to capture these events and nothing would show up. But they do sometimes respond to my flash light. I know this sounds crazy but I took my mag light and flashed it up in the sky 3 quick times and more star like objects took off. Almost like they responded to my flashes. We just do not know what to do.


clear day, the object was very high in the air. Through binoculars, it was seen as boomerang shaped and glowing bright orange. remained stationary then rotated directions.

It was approximately 2pm, I was sitting in my back yard on a clear Sunday afternoon. With me was my wife, brother in law, 15 year old son, nine year old daughter and a couple of nephews.

My son and nephews were busy cleaning the yard from a BBQ the previous day. My wife and I were sitting o the patio chatting with her brother in law. My nine year old daughter interrupted and said, look at the thing in the sky, it looks like a boomerang. We ignored her and kept talking. What ever she was looking at was not in our view due to the angle of the roof.

My daughter said it a couple more times. I told her to wait a minute and said I was sure it was just an airplane.

My daughter walked to the front yard, leaving us to talk. A couple more minutes passed and she yelled for us to come look, saying it was still there. We got up and walked to the front yard, my brother in law was leaving anyway, along with my son and nephews.

My daughter pointed to the sky at an object above the tree line across the street. It appeared to be extremely high and felt it was most likely an airplane. It did not appear to be moving but I felt that was probably due to its extreme hight. My wife went to house and got a pair of binoculars.

When I looked at the object through the binoculars, I was surprised to see a large boomerang shaped object that was glowing orange.

The object appeared to be stationary. The orange illumination was bright and appeared to be coming from five circular areas all merging together. I could se a faint outline behind the lit area.

I thought the orange color might be a reflection from the sun but a high flying air plane passed by and there were no colors reflecting from it.

Everyone took turns looking through the binoculars. Everyone thought it was strange.

I watched the object for another 10 minutes. During that time I watched as it did the following: The center point of the boomerang rotated from facing left to the right. It then began to move to the right for approximately three seconds. It then stopped, rotated again, until it was pointing up. It began to move up for a couple seconds and stopped again. It rotated until it was pointing down but did not move. A couple seconds later it rotated to the left again and began to move to the left for approximately five seconds. It stopped again and remained stationary for a couple minutes.

After approximately 10 minutes of watching it began to slowly move away until I could not see it anymore. I thought of going for my camera but I did not have a lens nearly as strong as the binoculars and I did not think I would capture anything other than the usual blurry UFO photo.

I have never seen anything like this and I am usually a skeptic when it comes to things like this. I am a Deputy Sheriff and former long time U.S. Marine, so Im use to dealing with facts. This has left me stumped.
