Three chevron shaped objects streaked across the sky traveling east to west. They were directly above me. I was trying to locate the galaxy andromeda and was focused on the constellation Cassiopeia when the lights came into view. They traveled in a delta formation. As they crossed overhead they separated in the western sky and disappeared out of view. My visual event lasted no more than five seconds. My first inclination was that they were some sort of night flying white birds. However dismissed that notion as they were traveling very fast. I thought also that they were iridium flares however I am sure they do not occur in threes.

Healdsburg, CA

I live in a rural area surrounded by vineyards and forests and was with my uncle John and my dog Rufus. It was shortly before dark and we were walking down a slight hill, towards the creek that is adjacent to our property. We were about 50 feet down the trail from my driveway when the entire sky lit up for a very short period of time. I remember a chill down my spine and a feeling that something was not quite right. I looked back and to my right at my uncle who was a couple of steps behind me and he looked slightly confused as well, but with no obvious reason something had happened we continued on our walk. I didn’t think much of it, but upon returning home I realized approximately an hour had passed, when we were quite obviously only gone for about 15 minutes. And that is why I will always remember the fifth of November.

It was around 8pm. My wife and I were driving north on HWY 101 up to Geyserville, CA, from Santa Rosa, CA. After passing Healdsburg, CA. We pulled onto Alexander Valley RD. We were going to a casino. On the way up we had noticed very strange looking Sunset? I took a movie with my phone. A Very bright area in the movie. Then we noticed a bright blue line? If you look at the movie you can see it on the upper left. This Line was similar to a jet stream but it did not dissipate? It was solid from where we were. You could look back behind us and could see that it extended clear back towards Santa Rosa. That’s over 28 miles. We had reached the casino and we could no longer see it after dark. It was not a jet stream, it was bright blue. We asked others at the casino it they had seen it. Even the guards. But no one had. But it was there because we did film it although I was lighter in the film.
