Vista, CA
1:45 AM neighbors' dog barking incessantly which is uncommon I go outside in the distance to see a bright red fog kind of had a mushroom cloud glow illuminating in the distance there is absolutely no sound other than the neighbors dog aggressively barking, As I took out my phone to film the red light fog immediately turned off . All that remains in the air was the fog like trail ( similar to a firework when it leaves the fog in the sky that is what I saw except this was definitely not a firework ) I stand there with my phone and in the direction and started recording and I saw to round bright yellow lights blinking in the distance , upon reviewing the recording through my computer I noticed they were actually more lights that could not be seen on the small screen of my phone . It appears to have too bright yellow lights and to the left with a blinking smaller red light that went from red to yellow . I then noticed in between those bright yellow lights there is a fast blue LED bright colored disc shaped light that flashes across the screen and travels in between the lights in an Up and down manner There’s also a small red light that is blinking in between the yellow lights as if it’s traveling in a saucer shaped pattern, during this time my neighbors dog was still barking incessantly and I decided to go inside because I became a little spooked the dog remained barking running back-and-forth in the neighbors yard for a good 10 or 15 minutes which is extremely uncommon this dog never barks at this hour!

Lake Forest, CA
At approximately 20:00 on 7 September 2018, I returned home from work and pulled into my driveway. A bright blue light in the sky approximately 60 degrees up caught my eye, followed by a bright red light approximately 45 degrees horizontal to the left. Thinking they were too bright to be aircraft, I watched for approximately 30 seconds. The lights abruptly shifted colors (red to blue and blue to red), then disappeared. There was no sound, clear airspace, and no communication/signal towers in the vicinity.

Solvang, CA
Most nights of this Aug., and now this Sep.3, I have observed hovering quite stationary lights (Each object has a line of four(?) white lights in a row. They form a sweeping half circle in the South to West (sort of) over Solvang, Ca., at somewhat different altitudes and intensities of lights, but still looking kind of organized. This town is not many miles from Vandenberg AFB. Once in Aug. I very briefly saw a quick blink of a red light within one of the crafts in the usual four lights in a row on one of the crafts. They are quite lovely I think. I only look up at them when I think of checking outside for them on some nights and they are usually there. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Idyllwild, CA
The light were concentrated in a confined area. We were positioned at an altitude in the mountains at 5700 ft above sea level. We were looking west into the stars 250 miles to thousands of mile into the distance. At 45 degrees to the horizon the lights had to be many miles above the sea level.

Thousand oaks, CA
It bounced over the mountain like a super ball and followed the contour of the mountain and wobbled and stopped. It began approaching me and looked like a fiery plasma in the sky. I thought it was the back of a rocket but wondered how I could be seeing the back of a rocket get closer. It stopped very low and close and then suddenly became a glowing red almost burgandy sphere. It was a perfect ball. They it began moving toward the south and headed over the ocean. It went across the entire skyline within a minutes once it began moving. It was close and made no sound at all.

we were driving off hwy 299 and saw a bright object shoot overhead then disappear, it was way too low to have been a shooting star, it was blue colored, at first we thought it was an aircraft but suddenly vanished after a high rate of speed. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Redding, CA
My wife and I live in Redding Ca. On Wednesday evening, Aug. 30, 2018, at apprx. 8:20 PM , (still daylight ) , we were in our car going to town. We were driving north on a suburban road, when straight ahead in our windshield we both saw at the same time, a bright green fire ball with a burning orange color tail. It was traveling from east to west from an elevation of about 35 degrees, down to about 10 degrees. When it was about two thirds of the way in its trajectory, the tail went out but the bright green ball continued on for about one second. The total duration of the sighting was about 3 seconds. This is the fourth thing like this I have seen over a period of about 20 years, all in California. The other three flared and burned up and looked to be gone, unlike this one that kept going after the tail was gone. Seemed kind of unusual to me.

The UFO's reported on the 29th were an exercise that was conducted by Navy Pilots for practicing nighttime ocean recovery. They were in fact Flares. Please check with Navy Region Southwest to verify. The reports were also carried on KOGO AM 600. these are conducted regularly at various intervals.

San Diego, CA
I observed what started out as an orange ball of light that turned into a line of about 10-12 smaller orange lights along a ridge in my view. It started off high above the ridge and slowly went lower, but the lights fizzled out just before they hit the top of the ridge. They would reappear and fizzle out in the same line twice before scattering lightly until they fizzled out for the last time. Anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences in San Diego, CA?

Livermore, CA
I will do my best to describe. I looked up in the sky around 12:30AM to the South of my home. I saw the moon, then saw what I thought was the planet Mars to the southeast. Orange. As I was simply observing, "it" quickly moved South then East within seconds and disappeared. I went on to my deck to get a better view but it was gone.

Los Banos, CA
We were driving on highway 152, coming from San Fransico heading home to Porterville around 10:50 pm. I was the passenger and my hubbybtge driver when he spotted 3 lights pretty low I thought they were drones or kids plying with some type of flying planes, the lights were not big they had to be the size of a cantaloupe each and 10 feet in the air, then all of a sudden the lights disappear and my husband who is driving can no longer see but me as the passenger can turn and since there was a full moon I can see the shape of a triangleular plane but no lights are on and no sound and it starts moving and as we continue to be driving I can see it moving in the back and then it flies always at a low height and it’s gone. I can’t believe i even looked up this site I don’t know what I saw last night I just know that it’s something I never thought i could see and I’m in amazement.

I saw a bright orange light in the sky traveling slowly south and it made a right turn towards west then the light started turning off slowly and a large sphere object kept going and spinning.

The object was pinkish tan in color and moving back and forth very rapidly, then it suddenly stopped, shot out a cloud of something and then changed shape and moved away rapidly.

There was a large clouded storm coming in at an extremely fast rate. Then all along the bottom line of clouds there is lightning flashing. You see aircrafts of some sort fly into the clouds and when they reach a certain point, they seem to blow up and then fly out faster then they went in. There was no wind at all and it was extreme darkness to the sky.

North Highlands, CA
Driving south on Watt Ave, at the I-80 Light Rail Station my 15 year old great niece noticed 3 white, circular lights in the sky, clumped together moving slowly. As I was doing the driving, I was unable to look immediately. When I was able to glance over, I saw one of the lights very, very fast zig-zagging in place and then an airplane or helicopter moving very, very fast in the direction of the 3 white round lights. We looked for the 3 white lights and they were gone. This was over a 10 -15 minute time frame.

As we have to chalk this up as just another story or witnessed event. It's a nice event to have experienced. As you will see in the boxes below there will be no check marks as to indications for characteristics of the sighting. It did not produce lights, it did not produce sound. Not like other sightings or experiences I've had previously. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Heard a very strange hum then saw an object in the east and then another one come from the north. They crisscrossed each other then disappeared. Triangle shape with lights. We spoke with the witness, and have corrected above the time and duration of the sighting event. PD
