On a restless night in Castro Valley, California, I found myself reluctantly pulled from bed after comforting my son from a troubling nightmare. Seeking a moment’s refuge on the balcony to smoke a cigarette, I witnessed something truly unexplainable. Suddenly, a bright violet orb flashed across the night sky, flickering like a ghostly spark before vanishing without a trace.
Shaken yet intrigued, I returned indoors and slipped beneath the covers. But it wasn’t over. Moments later, a piercing bright light caught my eye, shining through the blinds. Peering cautiously out the window, I was stunned to see a massive light—too large to be a star—hanging silently in the sky. It was motionless and unlike any aircraft I had known, its sheer size dominating the night.
From my balcony, the phenomenon was invisible, yet through my bedroom window I managed to snap a few photos on my cellphone. Zooming in, the images revealed an uncanny structure associated with the intense illumination—an encounter so startling it defies conventional explanation.
This ongoing sighting, marked by the elusive violet orb and the enormous stationary light, continues to puzzle and captivate those who cherish the mystery of the skies above Castro Valley. Such moments invite us to question what lurks beyond our ordinary perception, urging UFO enthusiasts and curious souls alike to look upwards and wonder.
