While driving car on San Antonio Rd, Mountain View, CA, I saw a star very near moon. It was just north west side. Since it was day time and being bright near moon and never see a star like that near moon, I was amazed and so showed it to my daughter and my wife. My wife could not see it first, so we were pointing her to the direction to look we realized it was slowly faring away from moon, that made us very much amazed and we were constantly watching it without even taking our eyes from it. About 5 to 7 minutes time it reached 1 to 1.5 meters away from moon, then disappeared all of a sudden.

A few friends and I went to a show at Shoreline Ampitheater in Mountain View. We first noticed 2 lights in the sky that looked a little off. I kept looking back at them throughout the night. They would disappear and reappear. I saw what I thought was a plan going towards the lights. The lights that I thought was a plane separated and bounced off each other before coming back together and flying off in the direction it came. This happened several different times. My friends and I watched as suddenly a 3rd bright light appeared. Within 5 minutes, a 4th appeared. I snapped a picture of them. They were stationary for about 20 minutes when one slowly flew away, then the next one, and the next one and finally the 4th one flew away. Very interesting. On our way to the parking lot after the show, we also saw what appeared to be an asteroid strike across the sky with brilliant blue and green lights in the tail.
