California Gets Hit With Massive UFO Sighting
California Gets Hit With Massive UFO Sighting
Brian Vike

February 04, 2008

On January 26, 2008 residents from Orange and LA County, Anaheim, and Brea, California were witness to a very unusual but spectacular UFO event. Numerous people watched as an object fell from the night sky and to their amazement it came to a complete stop while in flight. Most folks thought at first they were witnessing a meteor falling to earth until the object stopped and hovered, leaving everyone scratching their heads. While these objects sat and moved around the sky, aircraft were seen and appeared to be checking out these objects. As just about all of the eyewitnesses mentioned to me, they are baffled at no mention in any of the newspapers over the event, or media in general. I must admit, that makes me wonder why not, when so many people witnessed this really unusual event in the night sky.

(snip)

There ended up being two extremely bright objects that sat stationary for a short time, then moved back and forth as if they were lost. I spoke to a man today on the telephone and he said it was the most bizarre thing he has ever witnessed in his life. The fellow said he lives very close to the John Wayne Airport in Orange County and has witnessed just about every fixed wing aircraft, helicopter and anything else that we would class as normal until January 26, 2008 when his beliefs were shaken. The gentleman told me he got into his vintage Datsun 280Z sport car and at a high rate of speed, he pursued the unknown objects and tried to get a better and longer view, if not a photo on his laptop webcam. As the man watched, he realized that two of the lights were not like anything he had ever seen, and the light closest to him was what appeared to be an airplane heading toward the two much larger and much brighter objects. The objects were very large and very bright in comparison, a white-ish to yellow-ish orange color, almost flame like, at first, but much brighter and steadier than that. They were oblong shaped from his perspective. They had a definite shape, not mere points of very bright light.

(snip)

Another couple, a husband and wife were driving west bound at about 6:00pm PST. In the sky was a bright, glowing light falling toward earth with a bright tail of light. Their first thought was, that it was a falling star, but both of them quickly realized it was huge and too close to the earth for that and said to each other, its going to crash. The object stopped falling and appeared to hover, the tail of light extinguished and the main ball of light remained very bright. It faded in and out and then traveled horizontally very quickly. Another glowing light seemed to be circling around it in a wide pattern.

Both were very bright lights, brighter than airplane landing lights and farther away from these two was another light, blue and very small. It seemed to be circling these objects in a very wide pattern and they thought it to be an airplane watching the phenomenon. They didn't pull over and kept driving toward the objects, but, they got lower to the horizon and they lost sight of them behind trees as the road dipped. When the folks got back to an unobstructed spot, the lights were gone. The event lasted about 5-10 minutes. Despite the highly visible, quite spectacular and unusual display in the night sky, not one report of it could be found on news stations or in the OC Register. The couple in discussing it's location, estimated that it was approximately 50 miles away which would make it over LA County, even though they were seeing it from Orange County.

A witness was getting ready to enter the 57 Fwy South from Imperial Hwy in Brea, California when he saw what initially appeared to be a falling star. Within seconds from the first sighting, a second flame looking light flew in the same direction as the first. They would stop and a bright light would emerge and then start moving again. Every time they started to move, it looked like a ball/tail of fire. He saw an aircraft that was initially heading north and start to circle the area and that is when the objects vanished. He has never seen anything like this. His wife and kids also saw the same objects. The man stayed up most of the night thinking of what it might have been.

7. Probably not.
See, Dennis is fighting for Impeachment of the criminals in office, unlike Obama.

Dennis is also fighting for his House seat that corporate interests are trying to take from him because he speaks the truth.

Unlike Obama.

Dennis is also working against the war, bringing the troops home, unlike Obama who has voted to fund the war time and again.

If you want, I can go on with gay marriage, the Patriot Act...

Sucks when a shitty joke backfires, huh?

11. i think he is fighting for his house seat
because he spends so much time on his Quixotic quest for the presidency.

Same thing is happening to Ron Paul.

13. I notice many people get their backsides in a tizzy
if somebody makes fun of their religion. But they have no bones about making fun of somebody who allegedly saw a UFO. (Not to mention people who have a different religion) What hypocrites they are.

35. Yes, and it's usually the sky fairy worshippers who are the most obnoxious about making fun of
UFO believers, but heavens help us if we question *their* sanity or beliefs.... we're persecuting them!

Hypocrites indeed!

17. Remember back in the 70s and 80s
When California had a rash of ufo sightings and it turned out to be the stealth bomber.

I wonder what the hell they are testing now?

40. Some common 'themes' for UFOs of the past several years have been
fast acceleration from a dead stop, hovering, and stop-on-a-dime behavior.

Whatever they built this time, it seems... unconventional.

19. Why are UFO's at night illuminated anyway?
If these were actual super-advanced alien spaceships, why would they need lights at all? And if they were some kind of secret government project, wouldn't they keep their lights off to prevent them from being seen?

20. All UFO's have running lights. To avoid crashing with other UFOs.
Thought everyone knew that. :shrug:

I even naively assumed those might have been in place on 9/11 but I guess someone thought it wasn't worth the trouble.

Be sure to turn your UFO running lights on at dusk and in meteorite storms.

25. Brake lights, in forward.
At light speed light is really heavy, due to the inflationary photon/electron exchange rate, which always dampens tourism. When a UFO turns on its lights the UFO slows down, making it easier to see. When they turn the lights off they go really really fast, creating a gravity well, which prevents the dashboard light from escaping. If they didn't have to pee we'd never know they were there at all.

27. Wow, thanks, that's a great idea for space travel
I always had trouble understanding theories about relativity and the speed of light. Nice explanation despite the fact I'm still very confused about it.

28. So all these people in the OC saw this thing....
...and nobody took pictures?

What, did everybody leave their digital cameras in their other suit or something?

If this had really happened, wouldn't someone have posted it on YouTube by now?

31. I always wondered about that
I mean, my freakin' phone takes photos these days. Was everybody too busy text messaging The Fortean Times to be bothered to snap off a few shots? Or were they all hollering "Can you hear me now?!" to the aliens? With their fingers stuck in their other ear?

And about those aliens. Ever wonder why they'd use an incredibly advanced technology to span unimaginable distances just to give a few random humans a free colonoscopy? Look, when we asked for Universal Health Care, this was not what we had in mind!

41. As a former Californian
I can recall 2 events that are unexplainable. Nothing to do with what happened late last month. These events happened a number of years ago.

1. A Soviet satellite was supposed to crash to earth. But many hours before that happened, I saw an object float through the sky at a lesser speed than a meteorite or other satellite with 4 other objects off to it's 'flank'. Media explained it as the Soviet satellite, but the timing was totally wrong according to published accounts of the day.

2. I saw an 'explosion' in the very early morning hours (4:30-5:00). No sound, no vibration, just a large flash of light that occured for several seconds. That was the freakiest thing I ever saw. I thought 'Star Wars - Reaganesque'..... are they testing some sort of 'defense' system? I never found out. Nothing in the media about this event.

Does the unexplainable happen? Yes, it does. Do the people who see these events ever get an explaination? No, they don't.

46. It was probably the US government testing secret aircraft.
The government routinely plays around with technology that isn't commercially available.
