Santa Margarita, CA
Driving El. Camino Real westward towards Santa Margarita, CA. (approx. 4 miles away from town) during a busy traffic after work. Nearing dusk, clear bright darken blue sky with a noticeable large white cloud (west) that was a form of a circle with an opening in the middle with light-faded cloud beams coming out of it, below were 2-small very bright circles that seem to move/change shapes that got my attention to pull my car over and take pictures and a video. After viewing the photos with enlargement, I can see the different formations that start as a circle, flattens out in a rectangle, and then to crescent shaped with opposite directions. 1-disappears before the other. The large cloud appeared approx. 10 mins longer after the shapes were gone. Rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB @ 5:26 p.m.. PD

Smoke like cloud in sky emitting bright light beams in southern direction. Seems to have been left by some type of propulsion system from an object traveling at low altitude. Looked like aurora lights. Missile launch from Vandenberg AFB. PD

Dana Point, CA
Someone shot or launched two rockets or orbs from a house over looking the ocean institute in Dana Point north of Doheny. From this house on top of the cliffs overlooking the parking lot there was a noise and smoke then a flying object flew slowily out to sea very high in the sky. This object had only two beacons of light pointing back behind it at the house and smoke it left as it flew over the ocean. Another object followed it quite a ways behind it then went more north over the ocean. It was a glowing orb more orange and not as bright. It grew dimer and fell as the other orb continued at a slightly more southern angle and flew over the sea and disappeared into the atmosphere. Missile launch from Vandenberg AFB. PD

I have a video. It looks like 3 massive lights with a huge streak/clouds smoke, I don't know what was in between but in the Video you can clearly see little fast blinking somethings moving back to the opposite side of the 3 lights like if they were either leaving the massive ship from the 3 lights and moving fast and soundless to the opposite side where it was a huge mass/cloud (my instinct is telling me invisible shit but who knows) all I have to say that the video speak for itself. I also emailed it so hopefully it can be posted. they are real people! all you got to do is take the time and look UP! Missile launch from Vandenberg AFB. PD

Two objects moving slowly from North to South. At first they were close then separated one eventually disappeared the other continued South. UFO? Missile test? Rocket launch. PD

Pleasanton, CA
I was outside in the backyard when I noticed a bright orange light in the sky. When I saw another light behind it, I called my daughter and her dad to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. We then noticed two more lights coming up behind them. The lights went sideways before it started to dim and disappear one by one. We didn’t hear any sounds coming from it.

A friend of mine sent me a short video on Snapchat of an orange light that was flying around in the southern sky. Looked at the video and walked outside to see if he was just trying to play a practical joke. When I looked to the south I saw exactly the same thing he sent me, a bright orange light quickly changing directions and leaving streaks in the sky. The streaks last about four or five seconds. One of my cats was outside at the time and was frantically trying to get inside as well as hissing at the object in the sky. The object was flying and changing direction too quickly to be a plane, a helicopter, or a drone. There was looked like a commercial airliner in the sky at the same time.

Carmichael, CA
I have been seeing this object on and off since mid November. It was a small, quiet, blinking object; it's movements were very smooth, unlike a plane or a helicopter. It would move left and right, up and down, and sometimes be in the same place or move to another spot. The color was white, and it looked like it was giving off what, I can best describe, as electricity. When I first saw this object, I thought it was a drone, but it made no noise and, since it was a bit windy, it's movements were too smooth for it to have been a drone. I woke up my husband to have him see what I was seeing - he is very logical and would tell me what he thought it was. But, when he saw it, even he was astonished and unsure what it was. I stayed up all morning watching it, and as the sun was coming up, it stopped moving, almost like it was pretending to be a star.

My daughter and I saw a group of about 25 chevron shaped crafts all glowing a soft orange color and in what looked like a staggered military style formation flying from North to South, which made no sound all while maintaining there formation and speed until I lost sight of them in the night sky

I was driving down 91 east at between 3:30-4:30AM around anaheim hills/yorba linda area when I saw a big bright blue light on right side mid air not moving, i looked away cuz i thought it was a plane but it was way to big and blue so i imediately looked back at it zoomed down, it could have zoomed away north from the angle i was looking at it but the speed of that light seemed too fast for a plane or helicopter. I wish someone saw what i saw.

La Mesa, CA
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.

Reseda, CA
I was driving out of my neighborhood in Reseda, when on the horizon at the top of the Angeles mountains beyond the 118 freeway saw a bright light but it was obstructed by the trees on the street. I just figured the moon was unusually bright tonight. Less than 2 minutes later I am on Reseda Blvd and this giant pure bright white light is coming closer and closer following the path of the boulevard. The light was brighter than anything I've seen, I first thought it could be a plane or maybe a helicopter using a sheriff spotlight but as I drove forward and it approached it became clear this was too bright to be any sort of familiar craft. It looked like it was moving slowly, but once I was under it and saw the brightness and size of the craft, it had to be moving at an incredible speed, also considering I had seen it near the mountain range which is over 45 minutes away and in a minute it is now above me. I slowed down trying to reach for my phone and soon I wa! s underneath it. Two other cars were pulled over and were outside their cars looking up at whatever this thing was. As i was now directlynunder it Iooked up and it was a triangular shaped craft made of this strange black material that camouflaged well with the night sky. The bright light was not visible from this angle which was also odd, no light was visibly emitted from my point of view beneath it. It had a small light on two points of the triangle. It looked like the bnody if the craft was made of panels of that unique black material. I stopped dead in the street (it was almost 3 am) and stared up at it thru my windshield. It seemed to know I was looking up because it just hovered over me and I began to drive off because i know had the chills. I looked in my rear view mirror and it was no where to be seen. The craft was silent but seemed to be observing me and its surroundings

Redding, CA
At approximately midnight of 12/14/2017 I was on an I-5 off-ramp in Redding, CA, when i looked in the sky and saw a triangular object in the southern sky moving at a high rate of speed. The object was white in color and was moving in such a trajectory that it would strike the ground within several miles of where I was. There were a couple of other large trucks on the freeway who had to have seen the same thing that i did, as it was very hard to miss.

Watsonville, CA
I heard on the news it was to be the Geminids meteor shower, so I decided to have a look and see if I could see any. I was in the back yard about 5 minutes when this large, dull red-colored, round object with a darker brownish glow around the outside, came across the sky from behind me, directly above me. It looked to be as high as jumbo jets fly, like 30000 or 40000 feet, but it was as big around as the eraser on the end of a pencil and the brown glow extended outward from that, about half as much, the diameter of the red part. It never glowed or illuminated like a meteor would and was going about 100 times faster than an airplane. It went from almost directly above me to halfway to the horizon in about 2-3 seconds. I’ve seen a lot of meteors and I’ve never seen one like that. It seemed to me like it was slowing down as it got farther away but it was going really fast the whole time I could see it, if that makes sense. The sky was cloudless, but there was some lack of darkness from the city lights. ((anonymous report))
