Full Description & Details

We live in the woods in Northern California. A neighbor of ours called one day and said he had to show us something. UFO's he said. We invited him over and decided to have a BBQ outside and turn all the lights off. He arrived and showed us pictures and short videos of these "lights" he had taken with his cellphone the previous night. He said that he had been seeing them on and off for years and had noticed that they usually show 2-3 nights at a time. He got a good close up of one and it looked like a jellyfish to me. Translucent with thickening dimensions of white through the middle. We were very impressed with these pictures and were excited although skeptical at the the same time.

My husband and our neighbor were sitting out by the BBQ and I went inside to get the salad, I came out and looked up. Just then I saw the same thing he had shown us in the pictures. The three of us stood there and saw this large (the only thing bigger in the sky I've ever seen were the sun and moon) circular shape puslating and moved up and down in a backward W pattern. It was visible for about 20 seconds, then it looked like it shot out toward the universe fading until we could no longer see it anymore.

Our neighbor matter of fact stated "well mission accomplished, you saw it too."

The strangest thing about this and all three of us agreed was that it seemed natural. We were not freaked out or had fear. It was like a validation of things we had known but could never explain. This is knowledge I was born with and throughout time have had glimpses of this kind of validation. I know what we saw is real and not of this planet as we know it. Not that this gives me any more answers to who's out there but it is comforting to know that they are with us.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No

Other Comments

I have great night sky clarity and look at the stars frequently. I have never seen anything close to this. I have seen unusual triangular lights in the same vicinty.
