Fast moving UFO passes over Costa Mesa, CA

CASE NUMBER: 61992
EVENT DATE: 9:10 p.m., December 14, 2014
REPORT DATE: December 15, 2014
LOCATION: Costa Mesa, California

Story by Roger Marsh
Originally published December 15, 2014

​EDITOR'S NOTE: The witness provided one historical image found on the Internet where the object looked like what was seen in this case. The image is provided here as reference only.

​A California witness at Costa Mesa reported watching a silent object with four, round lights that appeared to be traveling low and fast across the sky 9:10 p.m. on December 14, 2014, according to testimony in Case 61992 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

​
The witness was walking to his car when the object was seen between two airplanes.

“The object was traveling from east to west at a high rate of speed,” the witness stated. “It was four lights in a fixed triangle position pointing west and traveling west. No sound was observed and no contrails were observed.”

The witness described the object.
​
“The lights were perfect circles and large lights. It could have been four individual objects but there seemed to be an object they were attached to that was almost translucent or clear. The object seemed high, but not too high, maybe 1,000-5,000 feet overhead. Seemed very large due to the size of the lights. Each light seemed to be as large as a whole airplane at that height and a solid soft white. The speed was very fast – 5-7 times faster than a plane traveling across the sky.”

The object could have been easily missed.

“At first I almost looked right past the object due to its quiet nature and almost hologram appearance. I have no idea what this object was but it was unlike anything I have ever observed before. Attached is an image I found online. This is exactly what I saw – the exact shape.”

California MUFON Field Investigator Dianne Hall closed this case as Insufficient Data.

Historic photo: August 1, 1952 -The U.S. Coast Guard released a photograph of unidentified aerial phenomena (i.e. a UFO), taken by a 21-year old CG photographer on 16 July at the Salem Coast Guard Air Station. The UFOs were also witnessed by Coastguardsman Thomas Flaherty. (Source: The Daily Chronology of Coast Guard History)

Costa Mesa is a city in Orange County, California, population 109,960. California has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. California had 44 UFO reports that occurred during November 2014 – calculated at 1.16 sightings per million population.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

This is so much like the cloaked ship I saw and reported hovering over mission Viejo/San Juan Cap border. I believe it was also in 2014 but would have to go back through MUFONs log to verify. Thank you for posting this sighting. It's reassuring to know someone else saw the same ship as I.

Disregard this report. It's bogus. This an extremely famous photo taken somewhere in the northeastern U.S. during the 1950's. Google it. The age of the photo is clearly evidences by the autos in the foreground.

Just look at the cars. It was in the early 50's in Salem, Massachusetts.

If one READS the beginning of the article, it PLAINLY states the photo sipplied was for REFERENCE ONLY, and I was aged 10 years, sitting on my local seawall and saw these UFO’s appearing over our Outer Boston Harbor. After having haunting memories / nightmares, I made contact with a local MUFON Invesitgator, who came to my apartment, interviewed me, took me to that area where I first saw the sightings, later requesting I be hypnotized for more information, and thankfull have been freed from those nightmares, ever-since. Later received a sem-thick mailing of his report filed with MUFON that was well-written, also !

Here's an interesting sighting and contact case with illustrations showing a similar pattern of lights in the sky:

The event occurred in approximately 1972

This UFO photograph was debunked by Project Blue Book. P. 97, The UFO Phenomenon, Time-Life books. The four lights were considered to be reflections of light on the window which the photo was taken through the window glass. Consequently, the light only appears on the sky but not on the ground so there are no reflections on the roofs of cars of the so called four lights. The photograph could not have made in 1992. It was made in 1952 by Coast Guard Photographer Shell Alpert in Salem. P. 97, Ibid. I've done my own research into Project Blue Book.

At the time that photo was taken and published in the old Boston Globe, Ian Menzies, a so-called science writer was hired by the A.F. to debunk reports such as this, while “stating” the lights were a reflections on the windows hisf the Coast Guardman's car windows. Now if that was true, then how come I was living some 25 plus miles south, sitting on a seawall here in Quincy, Massachusetts looking out over Quincy Bay and first saw these objects hovering over our Outer Boston Harbor, BEFORE one of them broke away from the formation and sped over to the then US Coast Guard Base in Salem, Mass and adjacent to, or very close the the then existing Salem Electrical Power Station, with the other 3 objects quickly joning the first, so the rationale of it being interior car light reflections IS a typical BOGUS attempt at debunking!!!!!!!

Please read the notes by the photo- this is similar to what was seen ! If you critics can't even read english right in front of you, I doubt your negative comments have any weight...

My mother and father and my sister and me saw a ufo when we got out of church.When we got out of church,maybe late 70s or like 1980,it was the biggest thing I ever saw.We were driving back home ,and when we got home it was like we were hypnotized or something.Because we didn't say any thing to each other about it.i heard my parents talking about it in like 1993 when they were having a beer,and then I remembered it too.i remember my father saying to my mother how strange it was that none of us said one word to each other about it.And I don't think we said anything to any body else also.

This photo is a clear case of a fake. If any one else has seen UFO's at this time it is only a coincidence. Have no fear that I am someone who does not believe in UFO's. Fakes are made all the time and put on youtube so that to be an expert on UFO's one absolutely has to know how to tell the difference between the film of a real sighting and a fake which I can do with great accuracy. I did not believe in UFO's and I took a skeptical view of that based on me being scientifically savvy due to an interest in astronomy and rocket science but my mind was too trapped and limited to the technology of today I got the shock of my life when I saw a UFO in broad daylight in broad daylight on September 16, 1995 at 2:10 p.m from a grocery store parking lot which completely changed my conservative viewpoint on UFO's. I wasn't even looking for UFO's at that time since I did not believe in them. I have given of some of my sightings to MUFON

I have been waiting for answers as this as I was an eye witness to this night and always randomly think about it. I was getting off of work from Disneyland my shift at 845PM when I drove down the 22 freeway entering into the Westminster Walmart bridge of the 22 freeway and I looked up to see this giant silver perfect circle UFO. I rolled down my window and it was sitting in place right over the left of the freeway right above not too high in the air. The UFO has no sound pitch silent and was hovering In place as the white light would shoot out of the sides of the UFO. The ufo started moving towards Beach Blvd heading towards the beach at a semi fast motion going straight. This is something I have never experienced in my entire life and I know what I saw as I was not a believer and now my eyes are open there is something so advanced that we do not understand. My girlfriend was with me thank god so she doesn’t think I’m crazy.
