At roughly 7:52PM October 21st, 2017, Laying on my back, stargazing from my backyard, facing west, I saw in the corner of my eye a quick flash. It has the intensity of a meteor burning up, but when I quickly focused in on where it was, I couldn't see the typical meteor-trail. Maybe it was a supernova? But then another flash occurred a short distance away, bright with the intensity of plasma or phosphorous. This time as its flash died down I could see the faint glow or an object moving as if being blown, or floating in the wind. It can only be described as an orb maybe no bigger than a car or a basketball and moving about at a passenger planes cruising altitude. From my vantage point it appeared directly above Redlands or Yucaipa and "pulsed" a brilliant white at random intervals, staying on for 1-4 seconds then going faint for 5-20 seconds, appearing much like a wandering satellite. However, this was no satellite or plane as they fly over constantly and are easy to spot because of either indicator light! s (planes) or a uni-directional flight path (satellite). The objects meandered, pulsing, performing figure-8's while moving from the west to the northeast of the sky, fading out of view over Joshua Tree. It can be described as a floating light beacon of a lighthouse, its flash extremely bright, then fading out, but at intermittent cycles. My reaction was shock, fear, confusion and euphoria as I found myself waving to it or trying to perceive any kind of communication mentally or physically. My intuition tells me that the object knew of its visibility, and that its whirling flight path, purposeful. Dogs barking unusually, too.

I saw a huge white orb over my house in Long Beach, CA, on October 21, 2017. At first I spotted two objects crossing path's with each other then focused on the larger one. As I zoomed in on my camera the UFO started ejecting smaller spheres into the atmosphere. The first ejection formed a triangular formation! As I kept filming the object started emitting tons of orbs falling in a steady stream from the main object. There were at least 40 smaller spheres emitted from the main UFO. Interestingly the smaller orbs were only visible through my infrared camera. This was recorded with my full spectrum Canon SX60 with a monopod in my backyard in Long Beach CA. The first part of the video shows the raw footage and the analysis of the capture is presented in the end of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCldZk3oBWY&feature=youtu.be&t=1s Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I saw two very high-altitude objects moving toward each other almost on a collision course. The two objects stopped moving when they got close to each other. Both objects hovered for several minutes. One would flicker its lights, then the other would flicker.

San Francisco, CA
Reporting a neighbor's account - about 1 AM, he noticed strange lights and noise in the sky near his home (NE outer Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco). He thought he was looking for a helicopter but it was not. He saw what he called something weird, triangle shaped with green, red, and blue lights. It continued to fly away and come back, again with noise. Could this be a helicopter? The sound he noticed and his best instincts say that it was not. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Poway, CA
So, I decided to take my dog outside to let her do her business, and I heard a jet coming in overhead, so I looked up as I usually do when that happens, and I found the jet and followed it for a couple seconds to see if I could see the jet without its lights blinking. It never occurred to me at the moment that fighter jets don't usually have all their lights off, save for a singular blinking red light. Then seemingly out of nowhere, right next to it, I saw a yellowish ball of light appear for around four seconds, flying adjacent to the jet, and then it disappeared. I kept watching the jet to see if the light would reappear, and then the ball of light came back for the same duration as before and disappeared again, then it came back again for a total of three times... It didn't look like any man-made aircraft I had ever seen before, and it did not make a sound like two jets do when flying in unison. It didn't have any blinking lights on it when the large yellowish-white ball of light would fade out. It wasn't very bright and didn't give off a lot of light, but it was clearly visible, and bigger than the jet and a little faster than the jet itself. It seemed as though jet was chasing it. Two more fighter jets appeared no more than five minutes after the sighting heading in the same direction. At the time of writing this, I heard another jet outside and went to look at it and low and behold, it was flying in the same direction as the other jets and the object. I live relatively near an airbase here in San Diego so the response time of these jets is very fast. My dog did not react to this sighting, as far as I could tell, because my eyes were glued to the sky.

Foresthill, CA
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It is night time here so PM, and i estimate it half the size of the moon. Also it was all white and it looked to be some kind of fire behind it glowing like. I also need to correct the direction. It was traveling east to west. I apologize. I was somewhat rattled. It had just happened, when I reported it to you. Thank you. ((END ADDENDUM)) Time may be flawed. We have attempted to contact the source to confirm whether the sighting occurred in the morning, or evening. PD

As usual during my late night walk, I looked up and saw a medium lit light. Moving slowing opposite of the LBG airport. I thought nothing at the moment seeing many aircraft come and go. All of a sudden the object lit up green. Like a fire balls and moves slowly west. The green fire ball alarmed and and I took my phone out to film the object. It was on camera for several seconds before disappearing.

Dana Point, CA
I was sitting outside in the backyard in the open. I was talking on the phone and looking up in distance I see a red light, it was only like a dot in the sky but it was not flashing. I figured it was an airplane because it was going about as fast as a regular airplane would go. So, didn't pay too much attention until about a few minutes later when I looked up again to see the UFO stopping in mid air. I almost could not believe what I was seeing. There is no plane I know of that just stops in mid air. That lasted for another minute or two and then, unexpectedly the UFO shot straight up at a speed of thousands of miles per hour. I haven't really told anyone because I know how most people think. More people will think I am making this up than not. I am convinced that this has been happening for a very long time and the Truth MUST be told.

On October 15, 2017, Sunday morning, between the hours of 1AM to 1:30AM, my wife's son (32 years of age), and I were outside the patio conversing about astronomy. I was showing him how to locate North star and the Big Dipper, with my green laser. It was getting cold that morning, he then went inside the house to put something warm. While he was inside the house, I panned to the Northeast sky and saw a bright orange flame-like ball from afar, about one mile away. As I was in awe, it approached towards my house, over the patio at zenith, I then grabbed my 9 x 63 binoculars, but could not focus on the object. The flame-like ball transformed into a boomerang shape, and it appeared to have a cloudy, blurry, fuzzy, hazy surrounding the fire-ball blades of the boomerang shape. It then came down to a lower altitude. I then shouted out to my wife's son to come outside and said, hurry-up!, that he needed to see this. I then passed him my 9 x 63 binoculars and told him to try and focus on it. He said he could not focus on it. As it was getting further away from my house, I decided to point my green laser at it, and it made contact to a solid green dot on the object. The object then disappeared about less than half mile out. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness, and highly reliable. PD

Salinas, CA
On 3:40 pm in California, I went outside to my balcony because I had a headache all day and I wanted to lay down on the couch outside. As I sat facing northern Cali, I saw a falcon close by and behind it what appeared to be flock of ducks or gooses I thought to my self that are fleeing the fire in the north. As they came closer they started dispersing into groups of one two and threes, and they looked more like lights hovering rather than flying and moving smoothly in a harmonious balanced motion. I called on my daughter to get me my phone and to validate my sightings, she was not able to spit them, meanwhile my camera did. I have a video of 1:20sec long. After they crossed my apartment, I stopped the video and rushed outside to maybe take more videos, and see where they are going, but they went out of sight and towards the sun direction. I went back home and checked the video, they were clearly shown after I zoomed it while taking the pictures

This object was very high, lower than the space station I have seen numerous times. There were two sets of orange fuzzy lights, that stayed on, front and rear, that were shaped like a chevron, the tip point of the chevrons were opposite, like these, < >. Never seen a light formation like that. It was heading East, from the West. If I was looking straight up, facing South, I would look down about 15 degrees. No noise, no flashing lights. It seemed very large, could not make out a profile of it. Moving steady fast, not super fast. I estimate the time to be just after 0515 PST.

Before people start reporting a UFO at this time a Space-X rocket was sent up from Vandenberg AFB at this time. It went from northwest to southwest. It was a moving dot in the sky until the stage separation, which appeared as an amorphous "puff". Then, a small dot moving again.

Oak Park, CA
While on my way to work, I noticed a bright red streak in the sky out of the driver side window. The streak was unusual so it caught my attention. It unexpectedly fade away very rapidly. Another object, or the same object I couldn't tell, appeared at a much closer distance. From what I can remember, this object had 3 orangish, reddish lights and some kind of energy flare that moved around the lights. The object then seemingly split apart and 1 of the lights rapidly moved crossed the sky and created 2 faint streams like a comet tail but 2 of them. After I followed the light that split from the object, I brought my field of Vision back to the original location where a large bright light, like a fire ball, was hovering in the sky.

Anaheim, CA
It was 5:39 in the morning. I was on the 91 freeway headed westbound, when I saw what looked like a satellite entering the atmosphere going eastboud. It has a red light with smaller red lights following behind it. It looked like a fireball with a trail behind it at first. It was there for maybe 10 seconds. Then it came back maybe 20 seconds later and now it was white colored. It broke off into smaller dimmer lights with the main light in the center. These smaller lights broke away and did a dance and then faded out. Then it came back again maybe a minute later as a red glowing light headed west bound.

Then the light disappeared off the sky and came back on, but this time it was normal white lights and it seemed like a round shape object with three round lights on the bottom. The object then expanded/threw sort of like throwing nets in the sky and were lid up and then it retracted them. After that, the lights went off and disappeared of the sky.

Huntington Beach, CA
I was in Huntington Beach just about to park my car and have lunch. I was facing west towards the sunset. I over heard a passenger airline jet cut and turn which made me just look up at the sky. no over cast just a few mid size clouds cruising by. As I was looking up in a daze I noticed a quiet aircraft which seemed to look like a single engine cesna plane. But the way it was flying and how high up it was didn't seem right. As I excited my vehicle to get a better look at it. the ufo made a side ways move and went into a cloud and never came out of it. the cloud was moving NW and the object was traveling NE. it kind of looked like a satellite. then briefly 1 minute after a smaller object came from the same distance and appeared to be smaller, but it could have been at a higher altitude. it also went into a cloud and never came out.

After a late night with friends my wife and I were traveling north on Rosemead Blvd towards the 210 and saw 3 lights hovering in the sky. Within 2 minutes two of the lights vanished and only one remained.

Stockton, CA
At approximately 8:00 P.M. this evening (10/7/17), I saw two bright lights in the Eastern sky. Being a keen observer of the night sky, I noticed that they looked out of place. They were like stars, stationary, but they quickly faded, simultaneously! I thought this very strange. Even though my wife was outside as well, I was the only one to witness this phenomenon.
