Tehachapi, CA
The object was very low about 150 ft strangely i do not remember it passing overhead even though it must of done so to get to the other side of the prison gate where it began to morph and lower or extend or leak a string like equally illuminated part of itself while the top of it was sphere like it shimmered made no noise and moved away slowly. And continued to move away while seeming to change from sphere to triangle to square. I watched until it was only a dot of light. I know that this object was not a balloon or a airplane And i am very intrigued and confused as to why i cannot recall it passing overhead i looked up the first time and it was 150 ft and just a bit to my left i remember it beginning to move but then i cant remember looking directly up i remember again when it was to my right and same height but farther away and beginning to shape shift. The area is a hilly mountain terrain prison in the middle of the tehachapi mountains.

Goleta, CA
I observed this craft from a high mountain range elevation. Looking south this massive craft was hovering just above the cloud line. Approximate size would be that of intercostal container ship. Surface appeared to be rough, similar to basalt. Large square chunks composing the entirety of the mass. This was an incredibly powerful sighting and I could feel its energy. I could not believe what I was experiencing. I just stared and watched for what seemed like 5 min. Then time became a little fuzzy and then it was no longer there. I was fortunate to experience this but it has left me incredibly confused due to the lack of similar sightings. I have nothing to relate it to.

La Quinta, CA
While driving in a gated community in La Quinta, CA, at approximately 8:10 pm, I saw a dark amber round light, almost orange, hovering at the height of an approximately 20 to 30 story building. I thought it might be a light at the top of a black tower that itself wasn’t visible in the partially cloudy black sky (and that I’d never noticed before). I slowed at the next intersection and rolled down my windows (and turned off radio) to listen for an aircraft sound. There was complete silence, not even the sound I’ve heard with drones. I could see it wasn’t attached to any tower or anything. I waited for the object to move like an aircraft. Initially, it remained motionless. There were no other lights. I thought I could make out one side of the outline of an angulated black body surrounding the light. But I couldn’t be sure. I turned the corner, pulled over and pulled out my phone to videotape the object, as it was starting to progress toward the west. I was able to get brief video of the light. Then it ascended up into the cloudy sky (not laterally) and disappeared. My viewing lasted approximately 90 to 120 seconds.

Los Angeles, CA
Landing at LAX approaching from the west coming in from the Pacific Ocean. Coming down through patchy cloud-cover while descending towards LAX, and over the city itself, there was a shiny, reflective, chrome-like sphere visible in between the clouds. It was not concealed by cloud-cover, it was in the open air between the clouds. It had some sort of appendage hanging from the bottom of it that made me think that it looked like a woman's shiny bauble earring, almost. Cannot recall exactly what was appended underneath but the object had a main, large, spherical, shiny body and then a second component below it. It was not nylon or a tether hanging from it; I don't think it was a weather balloon. We flew by it so fast that I did not take a photo of it and it struck me as incredibly odd, and very dangerous, considering that it was directly in the flight path to LAX, and at the same altitude as the 777 that we were in.

Haywood, CA
March 1, 2018; Haywood, California 12:00 PM. Witness was sitting outside an abandoned building on Mission St. near the corner of Industrial Pkwy, just chilling with a beer. He was looking down the Parkway towards the W when something caught his eye. It appeared to be at about treetop level, hovering toward Mission St. (eastbound) running parallel to the Parkway. What caught his eye was the unearthly glow of the thing and its straight and even path. "I almost dismissed it off as a lost silver balloon until I kept staring at it and realized it wasn't anything man-made. I even shouted to the houses near-by, "Hey guys! We've got a UFO here!!!" hoping someone would film this. I even stopped somebody on the sidewalk and asked, "What do you think that is?" (witness 2). The UFO was about a football field away or less, about the size of a compact car or slightly bigger. The object appeared to have two distinct features, one is a dull black/green rotating wheel with a broken triangle or arrow pattern tread design that was rotating in the direction of travel and at the same speed. It must have been going around 10-15 MPH up Industrial. The second and more vivid part was the center axis of the wheel which consisted of a glowing morphing mass of supernatural light or energy. As it was moving, the glowing mass would flash pink, silver-white, go dim or disappear and repeat but it was really weird to watch. It seemed to be in a distinct sequence. The glowing mass would also appear to elongate diagonally in a semi-diamond pattern and go back to a morphing mass. I was in total awe, witness 2 didn't seem to be really interested, but admitted it looked very strange after watching for around 30 seconds and left towards the shopping center on the corner of Industrial & Mission where this thing was floating over. It changed course when it got to Mission St. and started to run parallel to it and increased its speed some. I followed it down the sidewalk, it started to ascend and move further away. It kept increasing its distance towards the! NW to well over .5 mile. This whole time, it kept changing color sequence until it appeared as a silver star in sky. It ascended and hovered at one point, floated some more and came straight down and followed a path, at well over 2 miles away or greater. It finally took off toward the NW, appearing as a bright star. While it was leaving, I noticed a dim dot (part of it?) glow red and go after it at one point. It finally faded out. Wildest thing I've ever witnessed. As it was leaving, there was a Cessna in the area going to the E and must have seen it (potential witness 3). Also, there was a high-flying "contrail" plane going towards the west who couldn't have missed that bright star outside his window to the north (potential witness 4).(MUFON)

El Cajon, CA
Between 8:30am and 9:00. I was riding in the car on the 125 exit, Grossmont College, on the left side. A fast moving object was falling out of the sky. It looked like one of those plains that leave a smoke trail behind, but it was bigger, faster, it had a weird glow around it, and it looked liked it had something in the center of it.

Daly City, CA
AT THE SAME TIME I SPOTTED A TINY SOURCE OF BRIGHT LIGHT, APPEARING THROUGH OTHER LESS DENSE CLOUDS ABOUT 2 DEGREES, HORIZONTALLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE SUBJECT CLOUD, WHICH I THOUGHT MIGHT BE VENUS. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF VIEWING SAID ITEMS, I NOTICED THERE WAS A VERY SMALL, DARK EMISSION FROM THE SUBJECT CLOUD, WHICH CAME OUT FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT PART OF SAME. IT WAS SMALL (ABOUT 1/50 THE SIZE OF THE CLOUD) CYLINDRICAL AND WAS OF THE SAME COLOR OF THE CLOUD BUT WAS PUFFY, I.E. LESS DENSE. ALSO, AT THIS TIME, I NOTICED THE LIGHT SOURCE APPEARED BRIGHTER WHILE ANOTHER LIGHT SOURCE (OBJECT), SMALLER AND LESS BRIGHT. APPEARED AT AN ANGLE OF ABOUT 30 DEGREES UP AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE NOW BRIGHTER LIGHT. I NOW GRABBED A PAIR OF BINOCULARS (8X21) AND BEGAN CLOSE OBSERVATION OF ALL OF THE ABOVE STATED OBJECTS. OVER THE NEXT HALF HOUR THE SUBJECT CLOUD SEEMED TO VERY, VERY SLOWLY SORT OF EXPLODE WHILE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE FIRST LIGHT AND THE SECOND LIGHT GOT BRIGHTER AS THESE OBJECTS GREW A BIT LARGER. I ALSO NOTICED RED AND GREEN LIGHTS CONNECTED WITH THE SECOND LIGHT, BUT NOT WITHE FIRST LIGHT. DURING HIS TIME THE EMISSION FROM THE CLOUD CONTINUED TO EXTREMELY SLOWLY DESCEND VERTICALLY WHILE LEAVING A DARK TRAIL BEHIND. BOTH LIGHTS NOW GOT BRIGHTER AS THE FIRST (BRIGHTER ONE) BEGAN SHOWING RED AND GREEN LIGHT JUST LIKE THE SMALLER LIGHT. THE RED AND GREEN LIGHTS WERE NOW QUITE EASY TO SEE BUT IN EACH CASE THE RED LIGHT APPEARED BELOW THESE LIGHT OBJECT WHILE H GREEN LIGHT WAS VERTICALLY. ERGO, NOT VENUS! THE EMISSION, AS IT DESCENDED, APPEARED TO HAVE A MORE SOLID HEAD A ITS LOWEST END WHICH REMINDED ME OF THE SHAPE OF A COMET. IT NOW BEGAN A RIGHT TURN AND FADED WHILE TE FIRST BRIGHT LIGHT WENT BELOW THE HORIZON AS THE SECOND THE SECOND ONE FADED AND DISAPPEARED.

Escondido, CA
Then after 20 seconds of doing that, it started ascending into the sky. It took about 7 seconds to ascend before disappearing. A few seconds before ascending, it made a jet like noise which I thought was awkward. There were some clouds visible, but it was clear enough to where you could see the stars and all. The video footage I have is unedited, but I did zoom in while filming to get a better view of the object. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be sincere and seemingly sober-minded. PD

Riverside, CA
The object in question was a blue light. At first, I believed this to be a star, but when I noticed a trail behind it, I knew it was something else. Especially at the height that it was, with two planes under it for reference, I knew that it had to be much higher. Another thing was that for the height that it was, it seemed to be flying pretty fast. Almost seemed to be outpacing the passenger plane under it. The point is, I saw this light, it had a trail behind it that crossed once, like a jet propelled aircraft, it was way too high and fast for it to be a regular passenger plane, and I cant find any information about it on the internet. I don't think it was a jet either. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Long Beach, CA
At approximately 18:38 on February 24, 2018, while walking to my apartment, I happened to be looking up at the stars which were nice and bright (for urban Long Beach, anyway) . My attention was drawn to the west by a steady orange light in the sky. It caught my attention because of its orange color and lack of any apparent strobe or beacon that normally would be seen on an aircraft. I caught a brief glance of it as I was walking and then a tree came between me and the light so that I temporarily lost sight of it. When I cleared the tree a second or two later, I noticed that the light was either climbing in altitude, or coming towards me (or both), and that it was a steady orange glow, almost like a landing light on an aircraft but way more orange. I was kind of fixated on this light, expecting at anytime to see a beacon or navigation lights which would have given it away as an aircraft when it started to fade and then disappeared completely. Not behind a clou! d or anything, but just faded out within the span of about a second or two at most. There might have been a second light behind (closer to the horizon) the first light, but, as I stated, I was transfixed on the brightest light, and only noticed a second light that disappeared along with the first light at the same time. That second light might have been an aircraft, as LAX outbound traffic is frequently in that vicinity of the sky, but I can’t be certain as I was only half aware of that light. Anyway, as I was contemplating what I had just witnessed (I was stopped a few doors down from my apartment at this point, staring up at the sky), an object came “tumbling” by at, what seemed to me, just above treetop-level! It was moving in an easterly direction and, for lack of a better word, tumbling. It remind me of a semi-translucent, roughly spherical object with a very dim, orangey glow. There seemed to be a darker patch on the object that rotated with it’s apparent tumble, this is how I could see it’s rotation. It moved at a steady, quick pace; I’m bad at estimating speed, but I’d say maybe between 20 to 35 mph. It made no noise and was visible to me for approximately 5 to 8 seconds, I’d say. It moved eastward and looked to be descending as it crossed my field of view, but I could be wrong. It had a steady glow, no flickering like a candle or anything. I thought initially that maybe it was a bag with a candle or something in it, but I’ve seen flying lanterns before, and this didn’t look or move like the lanterns I’ve seen in the past. It had been a windy day in Long Beach, but when I saw this object, there was no wind that I could detect. One other thing--as I was driving home about 10 to 15 minutes before my initial sighting of the original light, I had noticed a couple looking up at the sky rather intently on the sidewalk of the street I was driving down. Now I wish I had stopped and asked them what they were looking at. Maybe it was related to what i saw…

Apple Valley, CA
Was in the car with wife today and about about 1pm or thereafter we were traveling on a busy road and in the span of about 1 to 2 seconds I saw a chrome Missile shaped craft falling to the earth at about a 45 degree angle. About as fast as a meteorite, but cylinder shaped, sort of pointed on each end and long and super shiny metallic skin. It seemed to be about 2 or 3 miles away but who can know for certain. There was no noise or impact cloud or anything, we kept looking. Because there were home tops, I could not actually see where it went down, but it was over Apple Valley, California, today. Really super bizarre thing to see. Also, it was very much solid looking and not a reflection in the car window. Very 3 dimensional. It had to of impacted at an super high velocity. One of the trippyest things I have seen in the sky. Super fast! Almost thought it was an ICBM, but it did not have a trail.

This sighting happened in broad daylight blue skies. Two huge yellow gold objects were hovering side by side about 30 feet away from each other. The sighting was already in progress when I arrived. I watched these 2 huge star like objects for about 7 to 10 minutes until one of them "turned off" and the other continued to hover. The other object started to strobe and slowly move to the west. These objects looked semi-transparent and looked more like floating sheets than any kind of structured object. I have seen so much orb and UFO activity in this month of February that it would take several reports to even talk about it. The multi-colored orange and blue and yellowish green lights were seen on 2-08,2-09 and 2-15 for long extended periods of time hovering at tree top level in horizontal lines and V shaped formations. A second sighting on this 2-22 night occured at approximately 9 P.M. over this Christmas Tree Hill area of Corte Madera with V formatio! ns and 2 bright gold objects side by side for several minutes just like the 6 P.M. sighting.

I looked up in the sky and saw an air plane in the distance making Kim trails and then the plane cuts left and right in a big bang of smoke it looked like it lost control or something then I see a bright star figure appear but it wasn't a star it was some kind of airraft. Right after it appeared I saw what looked like two NASA space rockets flying away from it, all flying in separate directions. The Kim trails it left turned in to black rain clouds or a fire cloud. They trying to kill us. I swere it looked like an alien star with some kind of invisible coat around it almost like it was under water swimming like a star fish. I felt a presence. Something brushed up against my body I think it saw me, but I got the he'll out of there because I had a bad feeling. I think the government just smuggled an alien entity in California. I know what I saw, I know what an airplane looks like and those we're definitely space rocket ships wtf is going on We are not certain as to whether this is a sincere report. PD

Inglewood, CA
At approximately 6:40 p.m., Tuesday, Febraury 20, 2018, in Inglewood, California, approximately 3 miles east of LAX, two bright, still lights appeared in the night sky, just southeast of the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. These two lights did not move, and at first they appeared as bright as the planet, Venus, and maybe as bright or brighter than Sirius, but they did not twinkle as stars do. They were observed to be in the sky for perhaps 30 seconds or less, but then the light to the south of Sirius began to fade, and then grow smaller to a point, and then it disappeared. Soon after, the second light that was slightly more to the east of Sirius also dimmed to a point and then disappeared entirely. These lights did not leave any contrails, they were not observed moving across the sky the way drones, helicopters, and aircraft do with navigation lights on (green light on right wing, red light on left wing) or strobing lights used for night time conditions. The night was clear with no clouds or fog. All other aircraft near the airport, landing both to and from LAX, including aircraft at higher altitudes not landing but passing near LAX, were seen with their navigation lights blinking clearly. No fog or mist blocked views of airplane traffic.

Blinking white light object never moved in the sky appeared to be very high altitude. Object blinked approximately once every 10 seconds. It was not visible between flashes. After approximately 10 minutes it looked like another much larger craft approached and both disappeared. This happened at a very high altitude and I didn't see anything definitively but it was very unusual. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband called me outside to ask what they were. We saw 5 or 6 orange/reddish lights, like small flames moving slowly like a drone would. They were moving in a southwesterly direction, and as they got into a line, they just fizzled out. It was very strange. I tried to capture pics on my phone, but they look white and are not very good shots.
