I took a picture of it and it stayed there for a while, but it eventually floated back up into the sky until it seemed to disappear into the light of the shining moon. The blue aura of the orb remained faintly for awhile as it went back out into space. I enlarged the picture I took and it was amazing. It is hard to explain but it looks almost like some geometric form that I have not seen before and part of it was even transparent like you see in paranormal shows. If I enlarge the photos I took of the orbs I saw in the sky, they also look like this one that was in my tree.
I thought it might be my dad's spirit/energy because I had been trying to communicate with him intensely. I am not sure though. I wondered if it might be more of an interdimensional type of experience. Lise D.

During the operation, we were interrupted by a shipborne controller. Their tone was urgent and their requests were a bit unusual. They said that they were going to suspend training and that what they needed us to do was not an exercise, but a 'real world' intercept, or real world tasking. I didn't have much experience so I thought that perhaps this was a drug run coming off the coast of Mexico and I thought, "Wow! That might be cool!"
Upon arrival at our target point, located just thirty miles off the coast and seventy miles south of the United States and Mexico border, not too far from Ensanada, my heart sank. I could see that there was a churning in the water below my aircraft. I went from being very giddy and excited to thinking that we were now 'on scene' Commanders of a wreck. Somebody has crashed and this aircraft is sinking.
Suddenly, we all saw something a craft over the water! We were all clammering to get on the radio. Do you see in the water... ? What the ... is that? No one knew what it was. There were no flight surfaces. Smooth and white with no wings, in-takes, or smoke trails. It looked like a thirty to forty foot "tic-tac"!
As we watched, it was so unnerving because it was so unpredictable. We observed high gravity with rapid velocity and rapid acceleration. We were wondering how we could possibly fight this as we had no ordinance on board. Unless one us rammed this thing, which was impossible due to the way this thing was manuevering, we had no way to defend ourselves, or if neccessary, bring it down. So, I stayed in high cover and watched it from above while my Commander flew straight at it.
Retired U.S. Commander David Fravor was my Commander that day over the Pacific. He had a fighter instinct so his reaction was not surprising. But, this object seemed to recognize what was happening and it reponded with a very irratic maneuver where it rapidly accelerated and was out of site!
Onboard, the Aegis Spy-1 Radar System, which is powerful enough to track an object as small as a baseball at eighty thousand feet, indicated that the craft, whatever it was, accelerated to over thirty-seven hundred miles per hour and stopped sixty miles away in under a minute, further out to sea and at the Commander's CAP point! How it knew the Commander's CAP point is still matter of mystery. Wingman Pilot, Anonymous

I was the first to observe the "tic tac" shaped objects report here in this database with the incident dated 11/14/2004 (See that story on this page of our site in the above text). The full story actually started four days earlier when on the evening of the 10th of November.
That evening, I started seeing all of these contacts popping up on my radar that had no identifying characteristics, or recognizable air signature of any kind. The were dropping down from the upper atomosphere above Catalina Island just off the coast of California and they were doing so in an organized formation, leveling off at around twenty-eight thousand feet. They were tracking south from Catlina Island in the direction of our Carrier Group which was stationed one hundred and eighty miles southwest of San Diego.
At first there were only ten to twelve of them, but I continued to watch as what appeared to be well over one hundred contacts moved slowly, like snow falling from the sky, across my radar screen. Moving at only one hundred knots, or one hundred and fifteen miles per hour, the objects maintained the same relative position from one another as they moved together in a uniform formation.
I knew that this was too slow to be any type of known aircraft as it would have simply fallen out of the sky. They were moving too slowly to main lift at that altitude. But, the radar doesn't lie and here was an entire fleet of UFOs moving unimpeded through the U.S. Navy's exercise Whiskey 291 AOR Warning Area off the west coast. I told my Commanding Officer that I thought we should intercept these things and I pulled up one of the on the large display.
At that point, the object dropped twenty-eight thousand feet, down to the surface of the ocean, in less than one second! By my calculations, the object was moving at around twenty-four thousand miles per hour! That's over thirty times the speed of sound!!
Four days later, on November the 14th, we decided to intercept one of these objects and we just happened to grab Commander Fravor's flight as it was scheduled to leave at that time for training. The rest of the story is detailed and filed under that date.
To this, I must add that there were multiple intercepts attempted with these objects, all of which failed as the objects would drop down to sea level, or raise back up to twenty-eight thousand feet. It was as if they simply did not want to be bothered. However, these objects were going somewhere and dropped off the radar at around one hundred and sixty-three miles south of U.S. Mexico Border and one hundred and seventy-five miles off the coast of Baja near Guadalupe Island.
As an update to this report, as of 2016, several eyewitness accounts by local fisherman have revealed credit accounts of USOs, or unidentified submersible objects, sometimes refered to as 'trans-medium' objects which can travel through air, space, and water. Often described as silver sphere-like objects, these USOs have been witnessed to rise up from the depths of the ocean emitting blue light and then rising out of the water, hovering, shooting off into space, or plunging back into the depths of the sea around the island of Guadalupe, and elsewhere.

I waved "hi", and stood there for a minute. I remember thinking, as I stood there, of all of the possibilities. I ruled out the government because of the size. It was totally silent. Stealth wasn't very common then, so I ruled that out also. Then I remember thinking that it might be a rift in time and they might not like the fact that I could see them. I just stood there and watched it.
It suddenly occurred to me to run and get a witness. I found the 8 year old that I was taking care of and brought her outside. All I said was, "Look up." She said, "Whoa!" "What's that?" I answered that it might be a flying saucer and laughed. I didn't want to make her afraid of UFOs. Then I suggested that she go get her Father. I stayed outside. She called to me and by the time we all got back it was 4:30 and the great machine was gone.
I went back in the house and drew what I saw. Reported it. I heard later that I wasn't the only one who saw it. Did I lose time? I think so. Was I scared? Nope. Have I had any other experiences since then? Yep!
I was a military policeman on duty as a guard at a weapons facility in the desert just out of Herlong, about sixty miles from Reno, Nevada. I reported it to the on-duty officer, but he was not at all interested in my concern and nothing more was said about the incident. Ken K.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The witness was unsure of the exact date given the amount of time that has past since he had his experience, but was sure that the incident described happened as described in 1973.
This happed several times, I can not remember how many, but I became terrified of that window. On the only occasion that I had strength to look up to see if any thing was there I saw what I now think of as the classic oversized almond shaped eyes, which caused me to panic.
No one believes me, but this was in 1967, before all of the UFO hype ever hit the television. Also, I have witnessed two UFOs and there was some sort of telepathic contact from a distance with one. The second caused disruption of my phone service foe about twenty minutes. So sorry, but I can't remember the dates exactly for the sightings. Jeff P.
I was shocked into realizing that as far as I was concerned, the United States, better yet, the world governments, had no such capability to display this feat of technological showmanship. "Who did?"
Then, something even more astonishing occurred. The "thing" circumnavigated the warhead while emitting four very distinct and bright flashes of very intense white light, hitting the warhead at approximately the four cardinal points of the compass as it related to the long cylindrical shape of the nose cone. These flashes were so intense that each strike on the warhead caused the image orthicon (television) tube to bloom or form a halo around each light burst.
Following this unearthly display, the strange craft departed in the direction from which it came. The shape of the object was the classic saucer. On top, in the center of the disc, was a dome from which the four bright flashes of light emanated.
Subsequently, the dummy warhead's trajectory was disrupted by the "attack." It malfunctioned, tumbling out of control into the Pacific, hundreds of miles short of where the Nike-Zeus was to intercept it in a crucial test of our missile defense capabilities. The mission's primary objective had failed. See the full report located in the US UFO Center Articles and Editorials Index. USAF Lieutanant Robert Jacobs
At 4:29 PM the Pilot, Co-Pilot, Flight Engineer, and one other individual who was also present in the cockpit of the plane reported seeing the same exact object that I had seen. We all witnessed a large saucer-shaped craft and someone in the cockpit said, "There's a flying saucer!" It appeared to be around fifteen to eighteen thousand feet in elevation and I have included a drawing (see below) of what we all saw. The craft looked like it had some kind of blue flaming emanation extending from the top and bottom of the craft.
The object was north of Catalina Island moving slowly due south with a long shallow climb, roughly paralleling the coastline. The craft was seen from two different perspectives, both from the ground and from the air, for five to seven minutes. Kelly Johnson, Founder, Lockheed-Martin "Skunkworks" Division
