Changing over Oceanside (viewing east county), CA

The report, as filed

Since 9-28, every night from 10pm until 2am or so, a multi colored glowing sphere has been seen in East County San Diego. I have seen it from my backyard in Oceanside looking East toward Escondido. The colors are brilliant, green, blue, very bright orange, red and white. It moves slightly south then up slightly and hovers for hours before disappearing. Mostly it stays sphere shape but seem to flatten itself out to almost a line of lights. Sometimes it flickers a blue orbish light on the top. My neighbors and friends have all seen it. Some think it may be the space station or a satellite. Sometimes it turns blue and splits into two. During the third week in Sept, the first night we saw it, two planes came from Camp Pendelton to investigate. They circled around and flew back to base, It's still there tonight.
