Light over Lake Arrowhead, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

We were out on the deck waiting for the fire works to start at 21:00 hours, facing south about 6,000 Ft. elev. on the North side of Lake, in Lake Arrowhead, CA. We started counting satellites for about ten minutes at this time we notice some faster flying green one, then the fire work begin and during the show I was still seeing these fast flying green lights. Just after the fire works ended, I point out two of these green light were flying in a straight line at 21:30 hours. At 21:31 hours we saw 15 of them in a group heading in the same Northern direction over the clouds. At 21:36 hours there were fifty or more flying over the Western side of the deck that I counted and some of the other witnesses on the Eastern side of the deck was seeing a bunch more looking to the Eastern sky. At 21:45 hours another group filled the sky, blue in color now, some were about ten thousand feet and some up around thirty-thousand feet, there may have been a hundred of them. They were not all the same shape, but flying fast and in a Northern direction.

Lake Arrowhead, CA

I was driving on Hwy 18, east from Lake Arrowhead to Running Springs, along the "Rim of the World". It wa clear and sunny, except for high cirrus. I topped at a turnout to take a photo of geo-engineered clouds, facing South. When I began to drive East, I saw a very bright light flash in front of the clouds toward the south. It was very small, but very bright white, brighter than a sun reflection off an airplane. It was gone in an instant. I stopped and looked, but could see no movement or airplane in the area. I continued my drive for approx. 1 mile, stopped at another turnout on the north side of the hwy, and took another photo toward the North. I then continued East on Hwy 18 when I saw another flash like the first. This one was further east than the first. I stopped in a turnout, and got out of the car. I saw the bright light, then it faded to a black as it moved west, then a smaller flash and then it was just gone. I looked at the area to see if it was an airplane between me and the clouds, but there was absolutely no movement of anything, and no more of the bright light. I was alone but I saw that two people who had been traveling west on Hwy 18 had pulled over on the south side of the highway and were looking in the same direction. I have lived here all of my life, and know what an airplane looks like from the Rim. This was far brighter than anything I have ever seen. It must have been pretty far away from me, but it was in front of the clouds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lake Arrowhead, CA

Two groups of light green/blue spherical lights appeared over the west end of the lake and traveled at a fairly high speed over the north side of the lake and disappeared in the east. This was right after the fireworks display on the lake so several hundred people are potential witnesses. I know several near us witnessed the phenomenon.
