Driving west on wildcat canyon road in Lakeside Ca, I saw a Brite white diamond shaped craft appear in midsky dropped down and hovered for 30 to 45 seconds then just vanished. Upon arriving at my home about 20 min later in La Mesa ca I noticed a white orb moving and diapering in sky the a similar diamond shaped craft with brute white lite in western sky just staying stationary for 15 min then vanished.

As I was going out to my car I grabbed what I needed shut the door and looked up at the sky and saw a huge Orange fireball but it didn't have fire 360 degrees around the circle it was on the back end. I watched it for about 3 to 5 seconds then ran to get my husband and told him to come outside. It was still slowly moving across the sky. When he came back out I ran in and grabbed my phone it came out and took a couple pictures and then took a video. Right at the four-second mark it vanished. I saw it traveling across the sky oh, it was under 35000 feet because then I saw a plane at 2 o'clock from it but the airplane was much higher than this object so I know the object was under 35000 feet. As I'm watching this orange ball of light slowly move across the sky from west to east, I then saw it to ascend up towards deep space and away from Earth. It was moving from west to east as I was facing north. I then saw it slowly ascend back towards space and then it vani! shed. I saw it so well with the naked eye.

Traveling home from dinner with my family. Noticed a bright blueish light off to the west. Looked to be a helicopter but did not have any flashing lights. Stayed same elevation and location. Looked at my wife to make sure she saw the same thing. She looked and watched it blink then disappeared.

Glowing orange, circular light was spotted around 21:00 rising from NNE. Remained stationary for several minutes before seemingly dropping an orange flare. Began to drop towards the horizon for approximately a minute while glowing off and on before vanishing. Afterwards briefly re-appearing at the original position.

I was driving to work today, when I saw a massive, cigar-shaped bright-white light hovering over East County San Diego. I was driving east on Interstate 8, when I saw it. There was not a single cloud in the sky, due to the high pressure that has been present in San Diego. I lost it as I was driving through Mission Valley, because the Southern Mesas were blocking it out. When I drove out of the valley at reached the top of Montezuma Mesa, it completely vanished from the sky without a trace. I estimate that it was at least a 1/2 mile across in length. I saw this same object on October 26th, 2017, from my balcony, moving over the Pacific Ocean. I reported that sighting along with pictures of it earlier. I also have 2 short videos of it, too.
