Manta Like Object Seen Over The Naval Weapons Station In Seal Beach

 

January 23, 2009

Time:  4:50 p.m.

 

I confirmed something similar this evening (January 23, 2009 at 4:50 p.m. PST).

 

The object was slowly moving and appeared to be relatively high altitude.

 

Noticed it was hovering from the south, crossed over onto land (appeared to be right over the Naval Weapons Station in Seal Beach), then at around 5:04 p.m., two bright streaks of light appeared out of nowhere, heading westward and disappeared in about 2 seconds.

 

Appeared like flares. Also above the vicinity of the Naval Weapons Station. Meanwhile, the manta-like object continued floating north/northwest, and went out of view into the northwestern sky at about 5:20 p.m.

First, I thought it was a weather balloon, but the streaking flare-like occurrence in the same area was very concerning.

After looking at your video of the January 8, 2009 occurrence, it appears very similar in shape, color and speed. (Extremely slow).

Checked NOTAMS and did not notice anything for the KLGB or KLAX areas at the time.

Military exercise perhaps?

Also checked the air traffic tracks on Passur for that timeframe, but did not notice any high-altitude aircraft heading north-northwest at that time anywhere over the South Bay.

Very strange indeed!

 

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Yuma, Arizona Naval F4 Fighter Pilot Watches Red Objects From His Home

Posted: March 21, 2009

Date: November, 1978
Time: After dusk.

Location of Sighting: Yuma, Arizona.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My father was a Naval F4 fighter pilot at Yuma's Naval Air Station. We lived on base housing and our housing unit looked south toward the Mexican border, over a chain link fence and on the other side miles of large citrus groves.

My dad had a nightly habit before bed of going out on the patio during the spring or fall when it cooled down to smoke his cigars/pipes. My mom wouldn't let him smoke in the house.

I was 9 at the time and would not even remember the event if my parents and the neighbors hadn't made such a big deal about it.

My mom called me down from my room, out on to the back porch, where my dad was standing out in the yard instead of sitting in his chair smoking. They pointed to a bright red light hovering toward the mountain range in the distance (maybe 15 miles away?). It was large enough to make out a disk shape (not a point like a star, but more like Mars with a discernable disc). It did not do much - just hovered perfectly still for a few minutes.

After a few minutes a small point of red light descended from the larger one toward the ground. I think it joined again (that is the story I had heard from my mom), but honestly, I do not remember where they went. I was only 9 and quite frankly lost interest after ten or so minutes of standing in the cold. My parents would not take their eyes off of it though, and stayed outside in the cold air for at least another hour talking about it. I went inside.

One reason I have never forgotten or dismissed the incident, is that the next day, my mom cut out a news paper clipping of a boarder patrol agent or police (can't remember which) that was much closer to the sighting and he described in detail exactly what we had seen. The paper also said that a large number of reports had been made to the police and a large number of inquiries were also called in to the naval base dispatchers and military police.

We never got any more information from the base or papers, or news, so I tucked it away in my memory, and only really think about it when I come across someone talking about a similar incident. I happened onto another post on your website by (name removed), that seems to describe what I believe is the same sighting.

This event may have been military testing, or something covert, but it was not fabricated. Thousands of people stood watching something they had never seen before that night in Yuma, some of which were naval pilots and ground crew living/working on the base that shared their experience with my dad.

I only post this so that (name removed) and others who might have been in Yuma during that time will know that other people saw this as well.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Naval Station Mayport, Florida Unknown Lights Traveling Fast

Posted: May 4, 2008

Date: April 30, 2008
Time: 0630

Location of Sighting: NAS Mayport.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright light.

Full Description of event/sighting: I work as a power plant mechanic (AD3) here at NAS Mayport Florida. This was early in the morning of April 30th 2008 while I was working on a preflight inspection on an SH-60B helicopter, and when I climbed on the tail to check the tail rotor I just saw this light moving in the sky. Then I tell my friend AM3 (removed) who was next to me and asked him about the light and what he thought it to be? When he said that it could have been a plane or a fallen star I knew that he was wrong. This was no way near that. I replied to him saying that was an unidentified Flight object because it was traveling at very high speed at an altitude of more than 40,000 feet and the speed three or four times faster than a regular jet.

We have the chance to see it for just a at least 20 seconds but since he discredited my sighting we just didn't look at the sky anymore. Then we kept working on the aircraft for a couple of more minutes and when it was already day light with the sun starting to rise I looked again to the sky and I saw a very shinny light at the same heading the other one was. Then I saw the suspiciously light traveling again in the same direction going North, and I told him again that this was probably the same light and that it was no aircraft and that on top of that I had seen two F18 heading Southwest early this week. Now I know why.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, Virginia A Round Sphere Above The Trees

Posted: March 6, 2008

Sir, I was just surfing the net and saw this piece of news. I was stationed in NAS Oceana from 2002 to 2005. I can't remember the month now that I saw this round sphere just above the trees. But what occurred was, I went to the back side of the hangar of VFA-37 where I was attached at the time. I was talking to one of my squadron mates. I know that late afternoon there were no flights and everything was quite in the surrounding area. As I look up on the direction of the sky. There just above the trees, a round sphere object appeared out of the cloudless sky as if its force field or invisible shield was suddenly off.

Because me and this guy was talking out there for awhile. When I saw it, I looked and told my squadron mate, Hey! Did you see that. And for sure when he looked up it was gone. And I told him what a just saw, but I guess he never believe me. And when I told people of my experience, they thought it was a joke or something. You know, fighter jets all around, radars, etc. and yet right there, on base. On a patch of trees in-between the flight line, a round sphere just above the tree. If they asked me where I saw it I'll tell them exactly. There might still be residues emitted by the object after two and half years since my retirement. If know one believes me, I don't care, because I saw what I saw. And I hardly believe things until I see it myself. Unexpectedly.

Thank you to the witness for a good report.

Tampa, Florida Triangular/Trapezoidal And Naval Carrier Like UFO (Diagram)

Posted: January 1, 2008

Date: December 2004 Time: 2:05 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 2 Shape of objects: Triangular/trapezoidal and Naval carrier like.

Full Description of event/sighting: UFO sighting in Tampa Dec 2004

In Dec 2004 at approximately 2:05 p.m. I saw two objects that I cannot explain. While driving to work on the Crosstown expressway in Tampa I noticed a strange rectangular craft in the distance traveling in a NW direction. At first I thought the craft might have been a balloon because it was traveling slow (about 60 mph) and was very large. I first noticed it about 2-3 miles away while I was traveling 55 mph in my vehicle while going to work.

When I was about a mile away I noticed that it had no curves like you would expect a balloon (blimp)to have and the ends were squared off. It was of a wedged/rectangular shape (craft 1). It was colored alternating red and white. Kind of sleek looking. I never got close enough to get under it. It maintained an altitude of approx. 1000 ft. The altitude, speed and direction were all consistent and I could not notice any deviation in any axis. I had a camera in my bag on the passenger seat next to me and I wanted to take a picture of it but I was unable to do so-weird I know but I just couldn’t do it. When I did intersect with object #1 it was about 200 ft over me. When I saw craft 2 it was going away from me. Both were within 5 miles of Macdill AFB.

Physical Description:

The length was in excess of 500 ft (2-C-5 type transport aircraft parked end to end)

The height was in excess of 120 ft. Since I retired from the USAF 5 years ago and have worked on many kinds of fighter, cargo and high performance reconnaissance aircraft I sort of know what to look for in aircraft and below are my observations.

The 2nd craft (which was ¼ mi. further down highway) exterior was rectangular shape with minor angled variances along the sides. The exterior composition had the appearance of sandy gray concrete. There were areas along the sides that that had several rectangular colored red and some orange areas. I specifically looked for any type of letters, symbols or markings which would indicate anything of significance and there were none. No windows, ports, hatches, panel lines or discoloration of surface could be made out from my closest approach (2,000 ft) were noticed.

No external pods, antennas i.e. long-wire, Radar-dish, directional, panel mounted, loop, adf, blade, towel-rack or anything that resembled an antenna was noticed. It did have some projections on the front that looked too thick to be antennas. No engines or propulsion system of any kind were noticed nor any noise of any kind. No electrical interference on my car AM radio (usually listen to am talk shows) was noted either. To be flying that low kind of made me wonder if they were trying to fly under Radar funny I know but they were pretty huge.

Ever since seeing this I have had compulsions (?) to forget everything that I have seen and have even put off/sabotaged attempts at getting my story/drawings out. Even in my car I had the camera and I could not compel myself to reach for it to take the pictures and fear was not a factor.

I have some drawings I made but I could not see where to add them to your site.
