UFO Orange Orb over Huntington Beach 12/02/08
Orange Orb Light In Huntington Beach California - December 02, 2008 I was driving west on Bolsa Street and noticed an orange light in the sky. It was a color like I’ve never seen before, kind of like a candle flame. The light was moving east and was south of me. I stopped at the store at Springdale and Bolsa Streets. I watched the light move slowly east for about a minute. (I REALLY wish I took a picture of it now) I went into the store for about five minutes. When I came out the light had moved west and was almost overhead. It was an overcast night so the clouds reflected the orange glow. I’m guessing that the clouds were about 1500 feet up that night. There was a slight wind out of the south, the light did not seem to be affected by the wind as it moved east then west, it stopped and moved slowly, there was no sound. I drove home for about 3 minutes and when I parked my car and got out I could still see the light. It was still moving west and was lower in the sky since I had moved about a mile north of it. I went inside my house and changed out of my clothes. About 5 minutes later I went outside looking south and the light was still moving west. I watched the light from my front porch for about 2 minutes then it moved up really fast and disappeared into the overcast cloud layer.

December 06, 2008 3:15 AM - Second Sighting - Huntington Beach - California
On two separate nights I've seen orange lights in the sky. I know what planes look like, the color of these lights are unmistakable, no flashing. The first night was heavy overcast, tonight was perfectly clear. Following is the second report as I wrote it. Has anybody else seen these Orange lights? I never expected to see the Orange light after the first time, but I did.

I saw the Orange light again. It was straight out from my front porch low in the sky, just above the power lines. It moves slowly, stopping then moving again, to the east. I went to grab my cell phone; The Orange light was still there when I came back but it had stopped moving. As I watched it and tried to turn on my phone (battery dead) it just disappeared as I watched. This was a perfectly clear night. I could see the star Sirius and the Big Dipper, very clearly. The Orange light was brighter than the stars, but just a little dimmer than Sirius. The Orange light was visible for about two minutes. Then I saw a second Orange light much higher in the sky, coming from the northwest and moving in the direction where the first Orange light had vanished. These two lights were unmistakably the same color orange, as I had seen on December 2, 2008. The Orange light went to about the same area where the first one disappeared, and then it vanished.
Two nights ago I was outside around 6:20pm in Huntington Beach, I looked in the sky and saw what I what I thought was a satellite. I called my neighbor outside and we watched this redish object the size of a star fly over our heads. Its direction was from catalina towards the north. Then another object became visible, it was another redish star that began moving in sequence with the initial "satellite" I had witnessed. One of the "satellites" began moving faster than the other and at this point I thought this might actually be a sighting. The "satellite" that had sped up slowed and stopped and the other was slowly gravitating toward it. After 30 seconds or so the other orb caught up to the initial one and stopped next to it. At this point i ran to gather my neighbors. When i came back only one of the lights was visible. Slowly the non-moving light faded away. This was the first time I have ever witnessed anything like this. I see planes, helicopters etc. on a nightly basis, this was extremely high up, and it had a strange color. It moved with a similar object then diverted its path, independent of its initial trajectory. That was amazing.
I have seen the same thing. i was at the beach with a few friends having a bon-fire. At first i saw an orange glow coming from the ocean and was heading towards the city. All of my friends saw this orange light. It was low and it had three orange lights that seemed to rotate. There was no sound and it disappeared into the night sky.
I saw an orange light, that had a candle like glow, move silently across the sky. I was about 1000 feet above my back yard. It was like a light I had never seen before. As it passed overhead, my friend and I both had a feeling it was about to disappear. Suddenly it began to fade away in clear sight. After it was "gone" my friend and I talked about what we saw. We both saw some kind of metallic panel like lines, as if there was a structure within the light as the light faded away above us. This happened on June 27th around 8:40 pm in the San Jacinto mountains of southern California.

Cant be botherd to go into detail cause i know their either military or foreign object,it looked like a comet with an everchanging triangle bowtie shaped black shadow in the middle,it was 300 ft it front of me,i got a very good view,it flew east twice as fast as a plane id say.aint seen it since.
Last night around 9-1030 pm at my girlfriend's cabin on Lauderdale Lake, Wisconsin we were sitting outside by a bonfire when her aunt saw an orange light behind the trees. there was about twenty of us who ran out onto a pier to see what it was. it was an intense glowing orange orb flying through the sky really fast from east to west. suddenly the orb stopped in the middle of the sky and faded. at first i thought it was a plane or something like a balloon but about 10 minutes later we spotted another orange orb and ran onto the pier again.
This time, there were two of the orbs, one was orange, the other was a somewhat magenta tone and followed the same pattern the first orb had. EXCEPT these two orbs were flying right next to each other and when the stopped in the exact spot as the first orb the slowly started to rotate around each other. no plane or anything can just do something like that. then the magenta orb faded along followed by the orange orb and dissapeared.
about 5 minutes later another single orange orb did the same thing as the first orb and then another orange orb did the same thing about 3 minutes later.
after seating around the fire again i spotted something rising from the western horizon. it was an orange orb but it didnt seem as bright. it climbed vertically and then then slanted right while climbing and faded again. the same thing happened a few minutes later.
i looked at all the possibilities. the wind was blowing NS, and there was some air traffic to compare the orbs to, no blinking lights on the orbs just a solid glow and the planes' lights were not as bring or intense as the orbs.

At 12:20AM on September 10th 2009, at my residence near Springdale and McFadden in Huntington Beach I went out to my car on the driveway to grab some things my kids forgot to bring in when I noticed a large bright orange object flying low and slow to the southeast. It seemed to be heading in my direction and kept altering its course erratically. I stopped what I was doing to try to identify the object. Suddenly, the glowing object stopped in place and then a bright glowing ball of equal color/brightness seemed to fall out of it and trail towards the ground like a comet. I called my wife to come out and see it and she way followed out by our 7 and 2 year olds. My wife came out just in time to see another object fall from the flying object. We were all in awe at that point. We watched as the object kept moving around and eventually changed course away from us while still dropping many other projectiles along the way. When the object was at its closest point, it appeared almost as a cluster of three orange balls and in one case it was very clear one of these balls fell from the cluster as a falling projectile but was then quickly replaced by a new one like a starfish growing a new arm. Eventually the object moved further away when the light seemed to fade away and a faint blue disc or cigar-shaped object could faintly be seen in its place before the object simply vanished.
I should note that some of the dropped objects looked as if they could've made it to the ground, but there was no impact from what I could tell (it disappeared out of view behind structures and what-not. Also, I noticed a small plane heading in the object's vicinity that suddenly seemed to have made a quick course correction so clearly they must have seen it too.
I am from Beloit, Wisconsin and my son and I were driving home from basketball practice one night in October at about 5:30 pm and saw two seemingly round bright orange lights moving in sync accross the sky. They seemed to last forever. I have seen meteors fall down into the atmosphere before and burn out, but these seemed to be moving accross the sky together. I do not know how long it lasted but they eventually just seemed to fade out.
Then a few weeks later in November, all the kids were in the back yard with the neighbors playing and some of them came running in because they saw an orange light in the sky. My son came in and said it looked just like the other ones we saw, except there was only one of them. We all watch as it moved across the sky and then all of a sudden the light seemed to go out and there was just this black form moving. It was starnge to see this form. It did not look like anything familiar, but it looked like it was shaped like something and not just a big blob or a rock.
I came on the internet to find out if they were meteors that we saw, but there has been no mention of them anywhere so far. I am so curious as to what these lights were!!
