We immediately noticed ANOTHER STAR headed in another direction where it mimicked it's....duplicates actions, and another one would catch our attention, at times we would observe two u.f.o's displaying similar actions at a time, throughout the night until daylight faded away the last visible star. Periodically one of the "airplane" objects would appear usually headed west/east, of approxamentally THIRTY to FORTY U.F.O's. Throughout the night we observed, only one set of lights (accompanied with the sound) were familiar to us as a jet.... Our necks hurt. NOTE: SEEMED AS THOUGH THE CONSTILATION URSA MAJOR A.K.A "BIG DIPPER" MAINTAINED A STEADY POSISTION LOOKING NORTH.

I arrived at the Venice Beach boardwalk in the Los Angeles area to pick up my lovely lady Annette at approximately 6:50 p.m.(PST) and as I walked up to the boardwalk where I was going to meet her, I also looked around absorbing the beaches scenery and greeted her with hug. I looked North towards the Santa Monica pier from where we were and I thought to myself what a beautiful sunset. I'm not a big social media guy but I like posting pictures of scenery and places so I decided to post one that moment. I stepped up with my phone and tried to focus on placing the beach, sun, and mountains as the primary objects in the shot. I took a the first picture and quickly glanced at the result on my phones screen, immediately realizing that there was a shiny aqua colored spot in my photo, I quickly assumed it was a reflection spot of some sort. In my mind I wasn't too satisfied with my picture so between the glance at picture 1st, and tapping the phone to zoom in a l! ittle closer, it took me approximately 8-10 seconds to take the 2nd picture later from the original shot. As we drove home I told Annette to check out the picture I had posted on social media and I handed her my cell phone. Immediately she pointed out the aqua sphere in the first picture to me as I drove, and without looking at it or skipping a beat I said to her, "I know it must be a glare or something," while I said that she had shuffled to the second picture and quickly replied. "the shiny spot's, on the two different pictures, and in two different locations?" We stopped and zoomed in on the phones screen and to our amazement there were also multiple sphere's within this electric blue sphere. The picture also captured the glowing spheres reflection in the sky.

I saw a red fireball that was fairly big it looked to have been coming towards in an east-southeast direction. I then told my fiancé to look at it as I thought that it was strange, she did look, then I looked back and blinked my eyes once and it de-laminated! Amazing! About five minutes later there was another small one same color.Fireball

At first I thought it was a plane but not normal color. I looked away, as I walked to my car, then looked back at the light about 10 seconds later. I saw that it had moved closer to me towards the south. This suprised me since it seemed to have moved quite a distance in the span of 10 seconds. As I was looking at it it dropped straight down and then at a right angle at about 60 degrees and then out of sight behind the hills to the north. The duration of the movement was less than one second. I don't know the distance, but I would say at least 10 miles away from my position. What ever it was it moved impossibly fast and turned at a sharp angle. The weather was clear with no clouds and a beautiful stary night.

Corona, CA
June 11th, 2017. On May 27th, 2017, around 8:00 p.m., while waiting for my clothes in the dryer, I was standing outside the garage doing some stargazing as I usually do. I noticed a dull red light proceeding west to east at tremendous speed. Airline jets usually fly over at high altitude, which I can usually judge their speed, but this light I estimated had to be going close to 3000 mph. It was in my sight coming from the west in an absolute horizontal line and didn’t deviate. It was out of sight to the east about 5-8 seconds after I saw it. Completely silent as well, no sonic boom either. It didn’t appear to be a meteor as there was no streak or tail. It wasn’t a satellite that I’ve seen plenty of as well out here in the dark of Corona. We are well away from the city lights. I was wondering if anyone else saw this light but no one I asked saw it or happened to be out looking up at the sky at that moment. I am perplexed by what I saw as I am highly interested in aircraft but I cannot come up with an explanation for this light that I saw. The perceived velocity of an object depends on its distance from the witness. Unless the witness has an accurate measurement of the distance, the velocity cannot be calculated. PD

Heading towards LA on the fwy, object with three lights suddenly was in front of us, coming towards us head on. Right before it hit us, it swerved around driver's side. Three glowing ligjts. You could hear the hum of motor. Then it was behind us for a few seconds then passed by the passenger window and disappeared. I have video of it. I will attempt to email it to you.

I live in Rancho San Clemente, Pacific Shores neighborhood. My home has an clear ocean view. I was looking out from 2nd story large bedroom bay window, when I saw the bright reddish/orange balls in a line on the water. Figured it must be a military exercise, since I live near Camp Pendleton, and went to bed. Had second thoughts this morning and decided to report what I saw. Hope it helps in some way. Thank you. - ((name deleted))

I was outside having final cigarette before going to bed, I always look at the stars at night, I noticed what appeared to be a shooting star, the closer it came the brighter it got, I was getting excited cause it looked like it was go to pass over me, that would be the first time that happen, but it shoot back in the way it came in a flash. Never seen anything like it. No plane moves that fast so it is a unidentified flying object. I still don't know how to wrap my mind around what I just saw. I'm so sorry to all the UFO people I doubted and laughed at. If your seeing regularly then all I can say is wow

Two bright orange lights that looked like orbs appeared over King Harbor. They made no sound. There was no wind. They moved up into the clouds, north by northeast at a fairly fast rate. When the two orbs disappeared and third light was seen. it appeared to be bigger and brighter and was moving towards my home. It stopped for a few seconds, hovering silently like the other two before proceeding to move up into the sky before finally disappearing into the clouds.

The other night, we smelled smoke and went outside to look around in doing so I looked up at the sky and noticed a strange twinkling what I thought was a star, suddenly above shot a white light across the night sky. My husband ran to get our binoculars and night vision goggles. We started looking and saw a few twinkling spots and through the binoculars there was blue, green, red, orange lights flashing on what I assumed was a alien craft. This evening we went outside and saw the same twinkling lights and as I looked I counted 11 crafts some of which the colors flashing brightly without any binoculars. With binoculars and night vision goggles we could see all the lights, our neighbors also stood outside with us looking at the many crafts scattered across the night skies. These crafts are very high in the skies sitting still as can be and completely silent. There were a few helicopters and airplanes what I could only guess to be investigating what we are witnessing take place. It's truly an incredible site to see the skies above covered in UFO's. I hope you find this information useful and I hope others have the pleasure of witnessing this amazing site as well. Thank You, ((name deleted))

I reported this same exact siting about a year ago. The object is at the 2 o'clock position next to the moon. The object is an orb-shaped object that is metallic, reflecting sun light. It is not moving at all. I expect it will remain all afternoon as it has this morning. My wife and daughter also witnessed it. I can see it with the naked eye but appears to be very high up in our atmosphere. Tried taking a pic but was not able to get a good quality shot.

Some had been behind us for a second then we're gone then again and gone just before getting to the driveway. The rest were in sky (3 that I could see) blueish, greenish and yellow/orange tinted diff altitudes sort of triangle formation. Two were flashing from the canyon on the mountain or more. Like signals I'm not sure. But also was bright large glowing area in the steep parts of mountain multi colored but all lights mostly white with different hues I guess is the proper description? Did anyone else see this tonight? Maybe you can explain it to us? Thank you for any explanations at all. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was one of the people with night vision goggles to confirm the object. The guide pointed there is a large object, low on the horizon, on the other side of the Giant Rock. We were all gathered at the South side of the Giant Rock, just on the side of the paved area. I had sensed something close by at same time the Guide pointed to the area of sky behind the Giant Rock. The window of view was very narrow, between Giant Rock and the smaller rock at the East side of it. At that point, I didn't have a NVG on hand, the object was very large, visible to the naked eye. A girl with NVG on hand handed it to me to confirm the object is a UFO as she was new to it and not sure how to use the NVG. I took the NVG and focused it to a clear view as it was blurry at that point. With NVG now, I observed the object for about 2min, flying West/Southwest towards and behind the Spy Mountain. It had a Diamond shape around it with a round center and a much smaller round darker area! at the 1/3 point from the bottom. It had a very pale orange tint to it at this point. Soon after it disappeared behind the Spy Mountain, the 2 helicopters showed up from the Northeast side across the valley, and next thing we saw was one of them chasing the UFO going towards South from behind the mountain. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

Shortly after doing a high-vibration meditation, while holding hands in a circle with about 50 others at Giant Rock, CA, an amber craft appeared to the northeast. My wife saw it through night vision goggles, while I had just missed seeing it as I raced over to the others as it disappeared to the northwest behind Spy Mountain. Within minutes, loud roaring of what sounded like jet engines and a military helicopter came from the east/northeast followed by another a minutes or so later. These then came around the south side of Spy Mountain, heading south, and clearly could see an elongated amber light being followed by a military helicopter with flashing lights. The amber light was not flashing and had no other lights visible. The amber light sped off to the south and the helicopter could not keep up. This was interesting how we invited them to appear with the meditation, and the first thing that happens is our military chases them. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

While on a UFO night-watch at Giant Rock with participants attending the Contact in the Desert event, approximately 50 of us gathered to watch the sky and share at least 15 pairs of Generation 3 military goggles provided by the host of the event. At approximately 10pm, a few people noticed a bright red-orange point of light glowing constantly bright, not blinking and moving from one field of view to another in between the two giant rocks and hills. I and approximately 10 others joined the observers to catch a quick glimpse before it left our field of view. At this time, for approximately 1-2 minutes, I observed this light through the goggles. The first thing I did was adjust the depth of field in the goggles. The goggles were in focus for high altitude focus, making the stars above look very clear. To view this object up close, I had to lens all the way to the closest depth to see the object clearly. What I saw during the time the focus was clear was a diamond shape with sides very close to being equal all the way around. I could see definition in the object enough to make out brighter areas in all four corners of the object and once more in the middle. In the spaces in-between, it glowed with less intensity. Once the object was out of view from being behind the rock, I immediately drew what I saw on paper and shared it with the event host. Approximately one minute after, in the same area we saw the diamond craft fly from left to right in our view, now I saw three aircrafts following the same route. I am aware that military aircraft blink with multiple flashes in quick succession, whereas commercial and personal planes blink once. This is how I came to my conclusion. Moments after we noticed the above mentioned aircrafts, a large bright light appearing red-orange emerged from over the hill we stood below. The light zoomed quickly over our heads at the height of approximately 1000 ft. I remember noticing that there was no sound coming from the light. A moment later, following the light, emerged a military jet craft making loud noise as it flew by us. The jet seemed to be chasing the light. The light flew straight towards the hills to our other side, and the jet chased it until they could not be seen with my physical sight. One of the group participants using his own goggle recorded from his device a video, with no sound, showing the event. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

Long Description of Sighting Report Incredible video footage of a military jet chasing a UFO (yeah, that's right, chasing one) right over our heads while out at the infamous Giant Rock in Landers while at this year's Contact in the Desert (CITD) conference in Joshua Tree, Calif. I, Melinda Leslie, was leading my Sunday night, May 21st, Sky Watch with Night Vision Goggle Intensive out at Giant Rock on the 3rd night of viewing events for CITD. Luckily one of my participants, Graham Slater, caught this and many of our other sightings (from all 3 nights no less), with his black and white night vision video camera. His additional footage of some of the other incredible sightings will be posted at a future date once they are compiled. Here's a description of the jet chase sighting: At just before 10:00 p.m. (did not note exact time) some of my participants and I saw a large amber colored light low to the horizon just behind Giant Rock from where my whole group of about 50 plus people were gathered and using 15 pair of night vision goggles. A contigenecy of about 20 of us ran to get a better view of it. To the naked eye it appeared to be a large orangish (amber) light, that quoting some of the 20 people; "flew like a bumble bee." One guest, [name removed/CMS/jpg], came running with a pair of the goggles in hand and got a good look at it. She said that through the goggles it looked like "a large diamond shaped UFO." She drew a picture of it attached here. This object then flew behind a small hill right behind the entire Sky Watch larger group. As those of us who ran off walked back to join the others, 3 military jets flew over in the direction of the object now gone from sight behind the hill. Some of us commented that "if" "they" were following it, meaning the jets, they were a few minutes too late. Just then, we heard the sound of a low flying jet from behind the hill, and suddenly clearing the top of the hill and right over our heads, came a very fast military jet chasing a faster large red glowing light. The military jet had both red and white blinking strobe lights and glowing afterburners and was VERY loud as it flew directly above our heads. The large red light had NO blinking lights and NO sound at all! It became clear to all 50 plus witnesses, this was NO jet!!! Those folks present who looked with the aid of the goggles said they were seeing either 2 lights, or one object with 2 light sources on it. After extensive review of the footage, I am nearly certain it shows 2 UFOs (fast moving lights), flying in perfect locked tandem with one another. It appears you can see stars between them in the background suggesting that these are 2 separate objects. As is usually the case, this footage while incredible, does not do the sighting justice. The video is in black and white night vision, not full-color naked-eye vision, and does not have any sound, so you are unable to hear the palatable excitement of 50 plus witnesses screaming and cheering. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

On the evening of Sunday, May 21st, multiple ufos were observed by a group of 40+ people visiting at Giant Rock in the Mohave desert. The group was sharing 15 night vision goggles and several laser pointers. I am sharing my experience of the event. Early on at about 8:00pm, several of us witnessed a bright orb like object moving a straight line then glowed brightly and disappeared. Later a group of three bright orbs moving from west to east at approx. 80 deg. above us from the horizon. I observed it for about 30 deg of travel in the aforementioned direction. I also observed a glowing amber disc-like object, about 5 deg. above the horizon due north towards Area 51 between Giant Rock and another large boulder adjacent to it. The amber object was about the size of my thumb at arms length traveling slowly from east to west parallel to the horizon. Shortly after the amber object transition behind Giant Rock and was no longer visible maybe 2 min. later a jet ! airplane could be heard coming out of the west. The jet passed over the group from NW to SE direction over the group at approx 70 deg above the southern horizon. In front of the jet (approx. 200 ft) were two red orb like objects. Both the jet and red orbs maintained constant speed and distance. Someone in the group had a night vision camera and they recorded the event. That video is currently being shared on several Facebook accounts. Please see other reports about the same event. PD
May 21, 2017 · 9:41 PM · RECTANGLE
Sacramento, CA
I looked outside my bedroom window in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County at 21:41, looking South West and observed a Red/Orange RECTANGLE, very, very bright LED type light or combination of many lights. I estimate the distance of six to eight miles away and the size of approximately 200 yards wide and 100 yards high. It was huge! It appeared to be about 1000 feet in elevation. It hovered or floated around not moving too much, just up and down a little. The lights went to bright blueish and shut off, then reappeared back into the bright Red, Orange light, very intense light projection. It drifted South across my sight, same distance and elevation, then shut off. I videoed it with my tablet, but my tablet only recorded a bluish speck, but I was able to take a screenshot from the video at its most intelligible position. I blew up the speck so you can almost make out the rectangle shape. I could see it through my tablet as I was recording it and knew it wasn't recording the same brightness and color, but at least I was able to record its presence. This exact same event took place last year starting on May 13th, 2016, and continued most every night for a week and I also took phone video and pictures with my phone of that event(s). I will attempt to get a better video with my cellphone, although it is not a smart phone, it does record better than my tablet. I used my tablet because it has way better screenshot and enhancement features. I will send more reports as I witness them.
