Baja UFO Sightings?

CortezBlue - 2-3-2011 at 03:00 PM

Ok, I live in Phoenix in the east valley at about 1800 feet on the foot hills next to the Tonto National Forest. I know most everyone on here has heard about the Phoenix Lights from 1997, if not look them up for some great ufo stories.
Anyway, we see these type of lights about 3 or 4 times per year from my back yard. My wife, who has more degrees than a thermometer, has no interest or belief in such things as UFO's, but even she has seen them and has no idea what to think that they are.
My neighbor is a Southwest Pilot and an ex-Air Force fighter pilot. Before he actually saw them he wrote them off to flares from the Barry Goldwater bombing range that is south west of Phx. However, after seeing them, he had no clue what they are.

Every night that I sit on my front porch and look at the stars in San Felipe, I marvel at the color of the night sky and how much detail that can be seen, but have not seen much other than the Shuttle fly by's and some satellites.

Has anyone seen anything worth while in the night skys above Baja?

:light:

There's a lot of Nomads who are not from this earth... haven't you noticed? :cool:

(seriously, I have camped with airline pilots and off the record... they have had close encounters)... Personally, I saw some UFOs, but not in Baja and not close up... I want to believe, but of all the remote camping I have done, not one E.T. encounter, sadly!)

Not in Baja, but I saw some weird stuff in the daytime sky over my place in north Idaho. And was way before happy hour.

Yes. In our camp, there has been many sightings. One couple that lives there (near Alaska Ron and val)....swears to seen a handful from their front porch "theater".

I myself have seen UfOs at Red Rock Canyon, Sacramento, Highway 50 Tahoe....

From our front porch we watched a UFO---

It was quite high in the sky and moving too fast to be a plane. We thought it might be a satellite but it suddenly made a very fast 90 degree turn and began to move faster.

As Johnathan Winters said "Oh yeah! I seen one right over there, just as I was taking out the empties"

I heard some of the park staff in San Pedro Martir saw not just a light but a large car sized glowing object soundlessly passing at tree level (I think this was like 3 years ago) and then it left a super high speed. Hard to explain that one away! Now I wanna see one! I want a quick tour of the solar system! You know saturns rings in a flyby the 100 miles volcano plumes of the Jovian moon Io that sort of thing!

Baja Indians saw a UFO and scratched what they saw on this rock.

car sized UFO? That's a long distance in a small seat- talk about having a bad travel agent book your Earth excursion during your Milk-Way tour cruise. Or maybe they are just teeny tiny. :P:P

The front page of the SudCaliforniano featured a photo taken in Santa Rosalia a few years back of night lights in the sky that seemed to be identical to the lights that have been photographed in Phoenix and attributed to UFOs.

From our terrace overlooking the inner bay of La Paz we have seen inexplicable lights in the night sky that jumped around in random, bizarre fashion, unlike any known aircraft of any type -- prop, jet or helicopter. A couple of other sightings of strange lights have been explainable as having been caused by missle launches from Vandenberg and reflections off of space debris. But the blue lights that jumped around in the air space between the La Paz airport and CIB still have us wondering what it was we witnessed.

I once thought I saw a UFO in Mexico.

Turns out it was an apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

I have not seen any UFO's in BAja....yet.

But when I was 17 a girlfriend and I watched 6 lights changing colours back and forth (yellow, red, and orange) in the southwest skies in Winnipeg at about midnight for a period of about 20-30 minutes....that then suddenly disappeared without moving off in any direction. They stayed in a loose formation without moving out of position too much for the whole time. They seemed to be at least 5-10 miles away and about 15 to 30 degrees up from the horizon.

I reported it to the police and they said I had to report it to the airport:wow:

The next day there was something in the newspaper about others reporting the same conditions....and the explanation was parachute flares:no:

Yeah, like they hang in one position in the sky for a half-hour:barf:

that phenomenon is called bc bud

Once when I was camped near the base of the 3 virgines volcano making coffee at dawn...an ancient ranchero riding a burro appeared and over coffee I asked him if he had ever seen an omni (UFO)...perhaps my spanish wasnt exactly correct because he answered....not today...only on thursdays!

I have seen a few unexplained omnis around here...like diane said ones that seemed like a satellite but then they shoot off in another direction at warp speed....also i have seen very strange enormous areas lit up like los angeles where there are no villages at all...twilight zone stuff!

the locals talk of seeing omnis even in broad daylight hovering over el cero elefante by san pablo too as well as right in san pablo.

Pompano - 2-4-2011 at 10:04 AM

I have to say I have seen more UFOs in Baja than in North Dakota.

But then, ND is just not a tourist state...

Interesting because, as I said above not in Baja... but what I saw was exactly the same deal... three very high, moving lights... like a satellite (or three) in a triangle or arrow shape that all at once changed direction and sped off.

This was a long time ago (1970's or early 80's) and no encounters since... or none that 'they' will let me remember!:light::lol:

When I was a kid our neighbors GreatDane got spooked in the yard-so unlike this huge animal. Thought nothing of it at the time but next morning we noticed a huge circular indentation in the grass-makes one wonder?

After leaving Bar Miramar (San Felipe) back in the 70's I saw a chupacabra in the sky.

But seriously I did see a UFO in southern Utah a few years ago when I was camping. I called my father in law to come take a look. He is a logical engineer type who would never admit to seeing a UFO. He can't explain it either and just tries to change the subject when I talk about it.

I never really believed there were UFO's until that time. Now I am certain of them. Too many credible people have seen them to be in denial. From a religious viewpoint I have trouble with this, but heck, if God created this world who is to say that he didn't also create othres.
