While my wife and I were in our spa 30 minutes ago a bright light appeared fairly low flying from the North to South over the OHIGH IFR intersection traveling toward the Ventura area. It almost appeared to have a canopy above it, totally silent with varying intensities. It went out of our site probably over Casitas Springs. A second somewhat dimmer unidentified object followed withing 2 minutes on exact same trajectory. I am a current IFR pilot and could not identify the object seen tonight.
