New Years Eve 2010 UFO Sighting, Santa Cruz CA

[TheBobfritz]

I seen the exact same thing that day I swear on everything I have 3 other witnesses traveling from north then shot fast sout east from tehachapi ca

[MegaNahify]

these are Chinese lanterns and when they quote disappear they burn out so ya

[DJMadchemistry]

I just recorded and posted one !!!another one from Santa Cruz New Years Day 2012 at about 4 am

[dopekiddwhaaaaaattt]

i swear to god no lie, i spent my new years eve in La and i got to see the most amyzing thing..they looked exactly the same as this but i saw 23 of them in like half an hour the looked like they were following each other but then just disapeared..if you have a reasonable explanation for this hit me up tryna get to the bottom of this.

[surfito]

i saw two of those, in dominican republic

[MultiK3D]

i saw three of them on the same day new years eve tooo ....

[DullardGuy]

God damned Santa Cruz hippies ...Thats what happes when you cant put the herb down for a bit! Im just totally suruprised that that object is not green for once!

[mghecea]

Saw the same thing, but in arc formation which later switched to triangular formation over spring valley, CA. Another person took a similar footage, but much clearer than yours or mine. Out footages were months apart, but same thing. Very orange pod/orb like objects floating accross the night sky. This is the same as the objects reported in the Phoenix lights...Its becoming a nation wide phenomenon and more and more people are reporting the same thing!

[garystyles1]

Looks like a light/torch on the wall to me

[xxGAMRxx]

Yup I have seen the same thing in southern California. Red/orange ball that makes zero noise. I am just glad other people see them too.

[UfoYes2]

FAKE!

[mattmatt115]

I SAW THIS THING TODAY IN ONTARIO, CANADA

It was about 5:45pm local time, it was just above the horizon and it was NOT mars! It seemed to be surrounded by fire at some instances. What is this???? It made it to and disappeared over the horizon very quickly compared to other objects in the sky like the moon, and other stars.

[chrismck100]

chinese lantern people

[bemata7]

there were many sightings just like these last New Years Eve around fireworks. I've trolling to see what would pop up again this year. nice!

[Thesecondtallestman]

Ok, I live in Norway (Oslo), and we saw like a houndred of these at newyears eve, they came from every direction, even against the wind, and they flew at different alititudes, seemingly in formation. It was simply crazy, and I had to see if anyone else had seen anything like it, and here is exactly what we saw, even the same reddsish/orange glow. And to me and my friends it was absolutely clear that it wasn't some kind of lanterns. They flew way to fast at times, made weird turns, and seemed to.

[Mr357robbie]

Has any one noticed the number of post that start off by saying I thought this stuff was BS but .... and then describe a sighting or event powerfull enough to change a belief that has been held life long. The paradigm is shifting.

[GreenBudLite]

Live in Sarasota too and saw total of three, two from south to north and one east to west about twenty minutes apart.. THEY'RE HERE!!!!!!

[Mandycello]

We saw the exact same thing just south of Fort Worth, Texas right after midnight on New Year's Eve/Morning.

[navyice]

my friend vsaid he saw a bright light hit the skyline late on the night of Dec.30 2010, in Santa Cruz, over the ocean.

[Dcentrush]

saw one right over me in norway, same time as allover

[mommyin2002]

live in South Tx Border with mexico. My entire family saw the same thing New years eve at around 11:55 pm. We saw 8 in a row going south and they looked redish and would also dissapear around the same area. It was really wierd, first i thouht it would be a Meteorite but then quickly changed my mind since they were 8 and flying in line. Never witnessed anything like that, you think they were ufos?

[indoratom]

we saw the same thing in sarasota on new years eve about 1030pm they flew in sets of two very quickly from southeast to northwest, we've been researching it ever since, and have found a LOT of similar videos and pictures from around the world...ranging from the phillipines, china, siberia, california, as well as several in florida, particularly on the west coast, ie marco island, fort myers, naples, sarasota and manatee county. they flew very straight, and seemed to be linked in some way.

[nmp5796]

thats so wierd! I saw those 2 too! was one smaller and the other bigger and more "firefly" shaped? 

[alexxchaos]

saw the same thing in florida! omggg i think there might be something here...

[brittwalsh1]

saw the same thing in patchogue new york

[zbrownmars]

i saw two this new years one fallowed right after the other one disappeared and both flew in a straight line

[clms340328]

i saw it when we burned our christmas tree we followed it around i think its a UFO all of us 8 peaple

[TheNewKai]

the same thing In Latvia, i saw it just like 10 mins ago and it was slowly moving from south to north and than stayed at the one point about 5 minutes and then just disapeared.... werry strange that it happaned one year ago o0

[TheJM1962]

Well last night I saw my first one.

8:30 PST in Live Oak Area, An orange light that was rather large went from south to north over my house and stayed in sight for over five mins.

It was round looking and Orange and had a band around it that looked like it was

Moving in Circles around it.

It was large , At least the size of a DC 3 or so. It made no sound what so ever and moved in a path that seemed as if it knew where it was going.

I have spent my life saying the UFO thing is BS. Oops.

[mattmatt115]

@TheJM1962 I saw what your describing today. To me it looked like it was surrounded by fire at some times, but you coudl still see the orange circle through that disc fire thing. What a weird site. Although, as much as i hope there are aliens, i do have my reserverations as the Bible does warn us of a Great Deceiver

I will do everything in my power to not be deceived so i will take this one with a grain of salt, like everything else.

[philosophia2121]

i saw something like this too on new years..but like in 2008..we all tripped out..then i saw a weird light looking out my window..a path in the sky where i can see airplanes heading to lax...then i saw the weird light just moving in weird paths and really fast..i realized it wasnt a plane..that was back around 1997 or somethin..

[sdaftermath123]

you know, when i was about eight years old, i saw a red glowing light flying up and down and in all different directions at a pretty good speed. unfortunatly, it was christmas eve and i was convinced that it was rudolph the red nosed reindeer. but now that i think back about it, i think it was a ufo

[tran325]

its a sattelite, following Lieutenant General around. It goes where ever he goes

[chalosw]

is fire baloon man...

[adamlocc12]

Doode..This same shit happened over san diego on New years eve 2008. It was moving up and down and then side to side and at first i thought it was a meteor or something. Then after a couple minutes it just dissapeared and shit was trippy.

[blacktahoe07]

how do we know if its in the air, theres no fire works going on beside it only fire work sounds, for all we know its a ocean nav light, no refference point or any thing. i say its not a ufo

[santacruzshell1]

You live in Live Oak? I have seen this. Got all our neighbors exctited! Then we took a drive and followed them. Lanterns.. So disapointing!

[roybwilliams1]

I've seen something like this before. I don't think this is anything out of the ordinary

[o5r]

u suck its just a red lazer pointer pointed at a black wall or paper fake 

[mannotink420]

cmon man a little steadier with the camera please

[bust3r2012]

sorry but i thinks its a chinese fire lantern... i used to get freaked out by them thinking they were ufo`s untill one landed in my garden lol

[WINYARD87]

PLLEEEAAASSSEEE look at my Manchester N.Y.E video on my page and see what you think!!!

[Myrcc]

So you posted a video of something that will happen next new year eve?

[malakaithorne]

should have taken some daylight footage of the area to show the terrain. this way it gives more perspective as to the size and altitude of the object at night.

[fivedinners]

looks like a chinese lantern sorry gave ya 5 stars though=)

[SERIIOUS24]

this happened in VEGAS !!

[goodolt70s]

drivvel

[TheAnalogical]

I took photos and got some footage of the exact same thing in Hastings England at the same time.

Three bright red lights moved across the sky and seemed to disapear, then 3 more came from the place they started from and followed the same path as the others, then they appeared to come from the right of me and do the same thing, they were definetly not like chinese lanterns.

[samiaraboghli]

I saw the same thing in Sarasota, FL around 12:10 AM. I posted a video response of what I saw

[truesga1014]

this happened over san diego too

[poniatowski333]

It see supposedly world-wide just !!!

[intelboy23]

another fucking dumbass with a laser pointed at a black backdrop with no point of reference and editing the sound to make it seem like there are fireworks when really the guy is bored off his ass.

[wkc21]

ufo

[alanswift1946]

I saw 11 similar objects on the same date over Nottinghamshire. Of the 11 objects, 9 went directly over in an east to west direction but 2 of them did a complete circular movement before following the others to the west.

If they were so called Chinese lanterns, why would 2 make a complete circle before continuing on their way ?

All 11 were in view together.

[ZoinksAlliance]

a complete fake i saw that on National Geographic!!!

what a fake!!!

[KrissyinLA]

Didn't get a video of anything, but we saw the same red lights in Monterey on New Years Eve just after midnight. Hmmmm fire lamp you say? Odd that there were so many sightings that evening along the coast. I know what I saw

[ohnejNEJ]

thats a chinese fire lamp, u fire it up and it flyes away, you can bye them for 3 euros in swe :S

[F4VELATV]

@ohnejNEJ what is swe?

[motofan998]

uuuuuuuhhh.... laser pointer... nice try

[slugdub101]

saw two bright red lights over Dublin, Ireland, 20th Feb at 11.25pm. Moved slowly, from clouds, each moved in an arc and then climbed straight up into the clouds. A few similar sightings of same type of light in UK in recent weeks.

[jack1701e]

i saw two of them on 20 feb 2010

[doodoomuffin]

type in UFO recorded at Night Time in Rome,Italy 2010

[doodoomuffin]

coud be a lantern but who are to judge u cant prove it there for it is unidentified flying object <UFO

[martymars]

These are called lanterns. They cost 5 bucks. You light a little fire and the heat carries it up to the sky. We do this where I live all the time. They look like ufos.

[imachristian100]

move on nothing special to see.......next

[nathansthebest]

dam it i no exactly what this is !!!! i seen them at new year aswell ... does anyone no thos things that chinese people let off at new year its like a mini hot air baloon ?? they light it with a candle and it makes the baloon rise ... thats all this is ..; it gives off a glow that may make you think its something else but i can esure you all tha is wat it is

[1kazzuya]

lazer... cOme to think of it... theres nO stars.. even a single 1.... i say its fAke..

[Onlymanolos]

It looks like a firework punk, used to light the fuse, waving around in the dark. Also one can hear the fireworks in the background. Coincidence? I think not.

[AcidAngel7]

it look's like someone in a room with a lazer to a wall....go figure.

[cloverfieldfan2010]

its is a laser

[MontageStudi0]

Saw this aswell in ireland very strange then it dissapeared slowly o_0

[Foxyon55]

lantern AGAIN!

[Xproletariatx]

Are we to the point where we're going to suspect that any sort of random light in the sky is possibly a UFO? Why cant we all focus on more important issues like politics, economy, etc. There's been UFO sightings for centuries and we ain't seen no aliens yet. Just get over it. If they exist they're a far way from here and we'll never see them in a million years.

[YourDaddysBelt]

people with a video camera on new years eve dont give a shit about politics or the economy. Every random light in the sky is a ufo until it is identified.

[mcbutler]

It could of been something from Lockheed Martin in Felton CA. They always seem to be up to shady stuff. I too live in Santa Cruz and about 3 Fridays ago I happen to look up in the sky off of Mission st and saw a huge bright flash. Bigger then any star and was gone instantly. It was like someone had a huge camera up above and that was the flash from a picture. (Of course that's not exactly what I believe.)

[AcidAngel7]

@mcbutler lockheed martin is a bearing company for the military...i make bearings for them....

[F1L5]

looks like b&h king size to me

[MrCreativeCoder]

omg! u frikin idiot!

1. its pitch black

2. ufo's have more than one light

3. its somebody stood infront of you with a fag on

[imask8r]

can you explain to me that you know 100% that ufos have more than one light??? you dont...plus you dont even know for FACT that they even have lights

[nathanip1]

ufo's dont all the time have more than one light! I know!

[Zenegog]

YYes it s alandern, peoplle done it where i live.

[rrockon123]

holy shit i say your freaked the fuck out man! chillax there!

U'll be alright all you need is love ;) xxx

[jbland472]

I saw something that looked just like this in Santa Clara not long before Christmas. I sent the report to MUFON if you wanna take a look. The orange/red dot zig-zagged slowly then dropped 3 orange spheres from the bottom, Glad you got it on film! Maybe consider reporting it to MUFON, eh?

[MUFON = Mutual UFO Network]

[kimber202]

@jbland472 OMG, I am soooo glad to see this. I just saw this same thing fly from northeast to southwest so low it went behind the roof of the house behind me..it was much closer too, about 6:30pm just before Christmas up near Oakland California..I keep trying to explain it as a large sphere that was lit up and then pulsating brighter to dim..there looked like something across the middle, a dark thing..I still am talking about it, now can show people this..what is it???

[kimber202]

@kimber202 I couldn't believe nobody else in the area reported it. It wa so low it must have crossed right over the highway. I didn't report it either, should have, but I just didn't know what I saw..I knew it was weird, not a plane, but.....now I don't know exact date and time to report to MUFON.. My sighting was red too, no other lights at all. It went fast and dissapeared behind the roof and never came to view again, only lasted about 5-10seconds

[nathanip1]

@kimber202 I believe you!

[64shaybabe]

its a freakin layzer pointer

[JeromeChaos]

yawn

[squishfaceofsaryrn]

its my ass!

[ravi4lyf]

lol

[S4mowns]

defo a chinese lantern. disappointing but true.

[jsuzuki43]

It's called Mars

[ChillsVill]

i also heard and saw the video footage of this same thing in New Zealand!!

Interesting,they were also in Dublin

[zachsmither]

thuhan if thats true everyone should fight for their lives

[skyestheword]

its not doing anything thats unusual for new year...ie prob chinese lantern

[thuhan30]

ppl say tht the world will end in 2012, with all this activity of UFO's i was thinking maybe it wont be the end of the world in the year 2012 it will jst be tht aliens will come to planet earth and rule us and take over. it could happen. i hope not though! :/

[MrAntimoron]

jokers

[hookahman90]

dude any red or orange ufo on new years was most likely chinese lanterns.. get it through your skull man

[EllenKaulitz10]

well fuck ur moving the camera so damn much who could tell

[StunterGuys]

It can be a SOS Light.

Many sends those up at New Year Eve.

And it could be Nibiru

[csenerote]

i am a believer for sure but you have to get better shots then that. that could of been a laser pointer on a blackboard.

[joepie753]

Its a Ufo balloon. In Holland we got alot of this things. ;)

[gamelgar]

i saw somethin very similar to this on sunday at 2am,,there were 7 lights just like that......

[skullstapler]

Some friends and I in SJ saw this as well. We actually saw 2 of them as we were checking out the awsome moon that night.

[diamondblast3000]

wow you just put a laser on a black screen -__-

[hikari94122]

I saw the same thing moving across the sky last night at 9:30pm here in San Francisco area. After 20 or so seconds it just vanished from the sky. It was a clear night at that time.

[hikari94122]

If its not moving it was probably Mars.

[13AJJONES]

I was sleeping. couldnt u have filmed all the fire works i hear??lol

[srb123461]

i saw the exact same thing at 00.40 in galway, ireland on new years eve

[apizle]

i seen one in philadelphia the other night me and my friends were looking in the sky and we seen a red beam looking just like that one moveing also i seen big items in the sky like stars except they were not stars they looked like big white stars but they were not stars at all there was like 3 of them just sitting there .

[bemata7]

the same thing was filmed in Canada; southern California; Manchester, England; Copenhagen, Denmark; Japan; Romania; Glasgow, Scotland,

[Karrie26]

Could have been a chinese lantern but ya never know. They saw something similar in FL that same night check it out

[bking1964]

Hi, I saw and videoed something similar in Norwich UK at 00:30 a.m. which I have put on youtube. I saw five of them moving very fast against wind direction . They have the appearance of looking into a silent jet engine. I managed to zoom in on one on my short video (part2.)

[RIPYOUNGD]

THOSE DARN FLYING RED MNMS

[bakthasar]

we've seen these, too, sometimes pulsing, LED red, or just glowing amber orange, always moving fast, clear, and silent. good vid.

[measgoon]

i was informed that they were chinese lanterns but the one i saw was traveling around 70 mph at around 500 ft

[megadeth2thenwo]

@measgoon yes... don't you know they have a built in jet rocket system on thelanterns now.. oh and they are silent !

[Gutarowski]

there were several of these in south sweden during midnight!

All traveling at various altitudes and in no formation, all heading in similar direction at a very slow pace, fading out! amazing that they have been all around the world!

[anyname4ucaracas]

Hi, i saw something similar in Southampton, but they look bigger, and brighter, at 1235 am. Loads of people saw the same in Uk, so you are not crazy ! and please, ignore anyone who comes here to IMPOSED THEY OPINION, I have been collecting the videos in my page. thanks for posting this, excellent

[TOTEMMUZIK]

My girlfriend and her friend see this all the time i didn't see it till the other night its too low to be mars and too high to be a plain, I say we were visited Thanks for making me not seem so nutz

[chuckygt62]

i saw two ufo in los angeles at day light in saturday but then suddenly they just disappear

[doomsoth]

It's most likely Mars. lol

[burnpoi86]

@doomsoth up to 10 mars's at a time? interesting... these lights were also seen in california, the total opposite of the world. i am not a ufo junkie, but plainly these red lights were something other than planets. it is very interesting to speculate. watch more footage.

[Seph976]

I saw 6-7 of these exact lights fly pretty fast over me just 30 minutes into 2010 in norway, one of these things turned its light off and because there were gray clouds we could make out that it was a black faint object still hovering.. they all came from the same direction (north i believe) and went in the same direction (south)

[doomsoth]

I just see one in the video.

[gaguiga]

Hei man .. Here on Rio de Janeiro i saw like a line in the sky of them comming from a direction and going another.. like 20 30 of them not at same time but the same place and same course..

[flaw80]

i saw red orbs over norrtelje sweden

moving towards me and then turned away and disapeard.

and then it came back from the same direction like they where moving in a big circle.

[skardinius]

I saw exactly the same thing in Stenlille, Denmark.

[zan3k956]

This is exactly what i saw to it was no lantern caused i saw it flying horizontally and it blinked twice and disappeared i saw this like at 12:03 down here in south texas..what a coincidence there is numerous sightings? what are they?

[vandaque]

Great Catch!!

We saw the same here in Germany on the New Years Celebration! Check out my Video.

[devinporterfield]

i saw this in georgia!!! i was with my friend driving home and we saw three strangle lights.. then we noticed a single orange light that looked just like the one in your video... it was moving much too fast to be a lantern..

[minagurl7]

You do know that our eye has a hard time seeing a bright light on a dark background and can cause optical illusions of the eye, right? And yes, these were Chinese Sky Lanterns released by some family to celebrate. They fly high up in the atmosphere and when they exhaust their fuel supply they fall to the ground.

[Striker1973666]

I seen the same thing at 12:30am New years eve 2010 in Long Eaton Nottm UK they where in a line one after the other and they all dissapeared one by one and faded to nothing. And then 2 more just appereed befor my eyes in the sky they seem to look as if they had risen slightly before the went on there journey, I thought they where lanterns to be honnest and that is the reason they disapear because the flame goes out? I'm a UFO believer i have seen loads of things in the sky.

[HorizonaBand]

We saw the EXACT thing in Edinburgh Scotland around 3.30am! Someone also suggested it was a lantern but the fact there are postings of the same thing from different countries is too much of a coincidence....

[minagurl7]

Except for the fact that there are probably some Chinese folks in your area celebrating by releasing the lanterns. Perhaps there are Chinese populations that live all over the world and celebrate in the same way.

[arthurc100]

Well may be te star sign ufo ?Star sign is a special UFO that looks like a Star but present in our atmosphere.Announced by Share international foundation the 12th of December 2008. It moves, changes shape and color and disappear.See many videos in my favorites all over the world. It is said to announce the first interview of Maitreya, under another name on a major US channel.Sharing the ressources of the world is the only way to Justice and Peace will be His message.

[Carolene76]

This type was also spotted in South florida in more than one place, I saw a total of 5. First a triangle formation then 20 minutes later. There was 2 Spread somewhat far apart and faded rather oddly. Also there is a video on here showing some in Naples.

[minagurl7]

The triangle shape is often an optical illusion. The brain fills in the gaps to see images. It is a well documented phoneme.

[brybry508]

Thanks for all of the comments guys! It seems there is a definite pattern of these orbs rising up while we are celebrating with fireworks. And they are obviously not any type of flare or firework. Very cool stuff!

[minagurl7]

Yes, they were Chinese sky lanterns. They go high up into the atmosphere why they burn their fuel supply. When it burns out they fall to the ground. The fire department found them and are wondering if they are going to press charges.

[ailahtain]

My friend I saw exactly the same thing, the last new year (2008/2009) in Cancun, Mexico... such a weird..

[solomoon136]

couldn't all these just be Chinese lanterns?

[TakeMe2Nfinity]

People have seen the same things here in Washington state, Florida, as well as the UK.

[kennetht04]

I saw a strange orange light over where I live, Manchester, UK. It moved randomly as if taking no specific patern.

[WatchingViking]

i saw something very similar...it stayed in the air for some minutes. no smoke or noise.. it disappeared but i dont know where.

these were seen last new years day too
