Palm Desert, CA
I, and a front seat passenger were arriving at a relative's house. we both happened to see a teardrop shaped lighted craft traveling from the south to the north right above Highway 111. The other three passengers did not see, since it appeared to travel at a high rate of speed and was gone within 5 seconds.

Two objects just happened to catch my eye while in my kitchen overlooking my back yard. It was a white light(the hue of incandescent lamps) and some sort of red light. Just as I opened the door to check them out, one headed toward Stockton, CA. and just disappeared. The other kept moving a bit and that too disappeared. There was absolutely no sound like that of an aircraft. I did not have enough tiem to snap a pic with my phone. At the time, it was partially cloudy but I have not seen anything even after I rushed out to look.

Encinitas, CA
Seen over Encinitas boulevard two blocks up the road from Moonlight State Beach. First seen in the southeast corner of the sky, below Orion, but right of Sirius. It moved northwest and after approximately 10 seconds faded from view. It consisted of three white lights that appeared in a rigid formation like on the wingtips and nose of a chevron-shaped craft. No body was visible between the lights, even as they passed in front of a moonlit cloud. The motion of the lights seemed to suggest that the craft was relatively close to the ground, within drone flight range. If it was as close as it appeared to be, the wingspan would be well over 20 feet. It was also completely silent and was definitely close enough to have been heard if it was a drone or an airplane. It moved at a constant speed, fairly quickly, but slower than an airplane would be at that distance. This also happened just over 24 hours after SpaceX launched a test rocket over San Diego, which many reported as a UFO.

Buena Park, CA
A strange cloud formation (seemingly appearing as a streak or jetstream) in the sky, strangely backlit from an unknown light source. At the tail-end of the jetstream, a minuscule light from an indistinguishable aircraft was lingering in the sky. I got out of my car to get a closer look at the streak, which remained distinctly illuminated in an otherwise clear and cloudless evening. My friend lives in a nearby city, roughly 4 miles away from me. Both of us took a photo of the peculiar cloud streak/jetstream of this flying object. Rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB @ 5:26 p.m.. PD

This bright shaped cloud appeared in the sky out of nowhere. There wasn't a single cloud in the this but this cloud was different. It was as bright as Aurora Borealis. 2 Large round shipped UFO's popped out of this cloud with very bright lights and they left a trail as they flew away at a fast speed. When they made their way south, the cloud disappeared like nothing happened. If it was Alien, what a beautiful entrance! Rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB @ 5:26 p.m.. PD

Santa Monica, CA
We saw a pretty big fireball moving south emitting a large smoke trail, bigger than a smoke trail emitted by a F-16. After a minute or so it released a second, smaller light/fireball, as it happens when a meteorite breaks in the stratosphere. The weird thing from a meteorite is that the first light kept moving ahead emitting a trail very similar to that of a comet (triangular bright trail) and stopped emitting the original smoke trail, while the second smaller light started composing spiral movements while slowing proceeding south (much slower than the first fireball). After a minute the second light vanished and the first, bigger fireball kept going south until it went out of our sight.

They moved across the sky coming out from a large blast of light, leaving a trail of clouds behind. A large thing appeared, object radiating light, a smaller object of light appeared to be attacking the larger one and then dropped a ball of light. It left a large oval of clouds encircling the aria and trail of the larger ufo

My mom bursts in the door and talks about gigantic stars. I first think, "She must be talking about Venus or Mars." I go outside and two massive looking "comets" are streaking gradually away from a gigantic cloud formation. I can understand comets but their trail was astounding. It was a square Z shape cloud or a stair-case kind of bend with an enormous cloud formation that glowed in the moonlight. Their cloud trail ended abruptly and no longer left any kind of cloud. One of the objects appear to gradually lose radiance and appear to make gradual decline in altitude until it disappeared. The other took off west over the ocean with no apparent drop in altitude but a loss of brightness. My neighbor was outside and watching longer than we were. However, he only noticed that they moved away from the cloud. The cloud quickly dissipated over the next few minutes adding that it was just recently made. There are other clouds in the sky and none were reacting the same way. We later waited. The sky cleared as if nothing happened.
