Changing over Newport Beach, Pacific Ocean, CA

The report, as filed

I often have insomnia. I was laying in my daughters bed. I looked out her window early in the morning and saw and unusual ball like flickering object. I thought perhaps it was a helicopter, drown or a wayward holiday decoration. But, I watched it for several minutes dash and dart around rapidly while flickering. I eventually videoed it with my cell phone. Over the following days I continued to see it in the early morning sky over the Pacific Ocean. It seemed that each morning it would be in a new quadrant location visually to the right at exact increments further each day. I shared my video with some friends who agreed it looked like something unknown. Later I watched the U.S. government representative for the current UFO project on 60 Minutes. Military pilots were on the same sow explaining their experiences. What they describe look very much like what I had seen. I wish I did not wait so long to report this. But, I am now.
