I was recording these weird lights that did not seem to be stars, planes nor dromes. When All of a sudden I saw this super bright light come out like from another UFO. It stood up for like a split second then it took off over me transforming and changing it's figure. Here is a video clip of what I saw.

I saw a plane when looking up to the north, it was to right side in the sky with contrails going south. Then I noticed a cigar shaped object to the left of the plane with no contrails. Looked silver in the sky. I tried to get my phone out of my pocket to get a video and then is shot away. Time was around 6:30.

September 26th, 2016, at approximately 3:30 pm Today while I was sitting in my car, in front of my house and talking on the phone, I saw a white object that I first thought was a white napkin that the wind current must have picked up. I observed this object move horizontally from 8 feet above my neighbor’s roof line to my home and across our roof, then back to about the middle of the roof, hover and then slowly move vertically away. I continued watching the object for about 1 to 2 minutes until it was too far away to be visible which I approximate to be 1 to 1 1/2 mile or so away. It became obvious to me as the object continued moving away, that it was not just white, but brightly glowing.

On 8/21/2015 at approximately 0530 I was driving to Oakdale, CA, and a noticed a circular craft hovering at a stand still at about 5,000 feet. As I drove closer to the object, I got out of my car because I could not believe what I was seeing. I could not hear any noise coming from the craft and it at 530 in the morning, it's extremely quiet. I remember my mind was stuck at a daze just staring at the object, as if I was stuck when I was visualizing the object and I find that very odd and not normal for me. The saucer shaped object took off diagonaly into the sky extremly fast and dipped down and shot back up into the sky and it was gone! I could not belive what I had just witnessed. We are definitely not alone in this universe.
