Davis and Woodland (beetween; closer to Davis), CA
There were two yellow lights, it seemed like the bigger brighter one was still, but the smaller one was seemed to be moving. The bigger one was moving with the smaller one, as if they were connected on one craft, but it only seemed like the smaller one was moving up and down. Another light appeared above the bigger one. It was the smallest, it too was yellow. It seemed like, as we were driving the lights were moving across the sky, only the smaller two were going up and down. When we were getting close to Davis, the lights seemed brighter and bigger too sort of a bright reflection on them. And then they disappeared behind the trees, even when we looked at the direction they were, we couldn't see them.

I was out walking my dog standing in the dog park at 8:37 pm when I looked up towards northeast sky and saw three very bright objects hovering about 100 feet above one of the objects had a bright light coming from it for about a minute or so these three objects were stationary no sound no exhaust I took a pic with my phone I could not get a video because I had my dog in a leash pulling but I did get one good picture now after a minutes or so the objects moved silently northwest with no sound nothing omitting from the objects at first they were just moving along slowly if you look at the pic on of the objects had a light coming from it as if it was looking for something the objects were there on second and gone the next just gone all of em it was amazing I can not believe what I saw when I got home I was looking at the pic and if you look closely at the pic between 2 of the objects you can see a different object that I did not see with a naked eye this was a incredible experience they were not airplanes or drones or helicopters I am 100 percent sure of what I saw

I saw a "bright light", from East to west flying straight, faster than any movie. It appeared to be under its own power, no noise, but with the speed it had, AND going straight, AND low, right over my head, I knew I'd seen a UFO. I was thinking, no one can ever question it now, we have company!

At 6:47pm while sitting at Kate sessions park in San Diego my 3 friends and I noticed some mysterious lights in the distance over the military base north island. There were 5 lights spaced out and seemed to reconfigure to 3 into a shape of a triangle. Then they proceeded to form a straight line. At this point there were 4 lights. They eventually all vanished.

San Diego, CA
At around 6:46p PST, I was finishing up walking my dog near the gated entrance of our building on a cul du sac in Banker's Hill, San Diego. I turned to walk towards the gate, facing southwest towards San Diego Harbor and noticed what appeared to be a meteor falling in the sky. It was very bright and falling more slowly than I would have imagined a meteor to fall and I kept staring at it in awe as it continued its decent in the nights sky. I had watched for about 30 seconds and yelled to my neighbor who was also walking her dog to look up in the sky. She asked, "what is that?" and I began filming as best I could. The tail of fire had begun to descend beyond my line of sight due to the tree line ahead but just as it neared the tops of the trees, the fire separated out into 5 rays of falling light and then began moving into a more horizontal formation which clearly became 5 separate hovering orbs of light. 4 of the orbs began moving west across the harbor and 1 orb can be seen moving west and then shifting towards the east. I ran down the street to get to a place with an unobstructed view of the harbor and only one orb remained for a brief moment before disappearing towards the south. I have captured 2 videos depicting what I saw. The first video is the very tail end of the meteor like fiery formation falling from the sky and you can see it separate out into 5 separate lines. The next video captures the 5 hovering orbs, right above the tree line as it began to descend lower over the harbor and then finally disappear. In the first video, you see the fire/light and hear my neighbor exclaim, "Okay...it's breaking up now." In the second video, it immediately starts with showing the 5 separate orbs and then I ran down the street and the video is poor but when you get to the last 00:30 seconds left you see one remaining orb over the harbor and I exclaim, "there it is" and then it quickly disappears.

Star looking object that appeared to be slightly moving back and forth and oscillating light. Similar to a star but more pronounced. A moving blue light appeared out of nowhere near it. It was doubled in size to the white starlike object. It moved for 3 seconds then disappeared. About 10 seconds later it reappeared in a different location, but still near the object. It disappeared after a few seconds. A few minutes later a white circular flash (.5 second duration) appeared much farther south and closer to me. I when I returned a short time later to check on it, the object was gone and nothing similar anywhere nearby. When I tried to get compass coordinates, my phone compass is swapping east and west *I did not have my phone to catch the blue lights. The video does show up the starlike object slightly moving and fluctuating light. It is subtle and was more noticeable in real life. The video does show the circular flash at the tree line around 11 second on video time line

A yellow, unnatural light moving in the Southern Sky moving West to East eventually entering the SouthEasterly Sky at a very rapid pace seemed to stop on a dime upon aligning with Venus, almost using the planet’s bright light as a cover source. I confirmed via ADSBExchange it was neither airplane, nor was the airspace locked down due to rocket or other launch. Also confirmed via Satellite Tracking App that it did not align with any orbiting SAT at that time or angle.

Walking outside of my job, I looked up to see the moon and noticed the larger object hovering. After a minute or so I got another employee and asked if they saw the same thing. They saw the larger object and as I continued to look I saw 2 smaller ones come into view. They then came together into a triangle arrangement before disappearing. From when I saw the first object til when they disappeared was about 10 minutes. Also about 10 minutes after losing sight of the object a helicopter flew around the area.

I saw a very bright cigar shaped object that seem to change shape in the photos I took, either very lit up or very white, in the sky next to a Plain air traffic. It was absolutely NOT a plane. Planes were flying by it and slowing down. You could see the speed of the planes not they were moving. Very obviously. This object is not moving at all. I got photos of it. I was there for at least 20 minutes, but I could not stay any longer. My friend drop me off at my house left I’m on followed the street and he said it was hovering near the beaches. It was low enough that you could see that it was not a plane, and you could see the detail of the planes passing by and that they were very different. The picture was taken from far away so you have to zoom in, but you can clearly see the change of shape. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Had just made it to work with a co-worker of mine. parked facing east and sat for a minute listening to the radio. it was around 7:20 a:m. was studying what i thought was a morning star above the tree line. But realised it was too bright. and it looked like it was pulsing a little bit. Then noticed it was SLOWLY ascending. Then its light began to grow dim and it gradually picked up speed and ascended above cloud coverage outta sight. 10 minutes later the cloud coverage was gone and nothing was in sight.

The two round green lights moved at a high rate of speed. Faster than any helicopter or drone could possibly go. I don’t think a jet can move that fast. The lights flashed. As each flash the object would move about a mile. It went out about 10 miles and stopped and hovered for a few minutes then shot back the opposite way . It seemed to stopped once it passed me and hover and even turn around, then turned back and left. It had a glow around it but a light one.

Deshler, OH
Was driving west on county road 111 surrounded by corn and bean fields. About half a mile away as we were approaching we noticed a very bright light on the ground in the field. Initial thought it was a fire in the distance, had an orange hue with an aura around it. It was almost a rectangular shape making us think it was a combine. As we approached it , it suddenly disappeared as if shutting down a combine or turning off head lights. The light lasted for about 10 seconds. When we passed the location there was no combine or farm machinery and no other vehicles or house. It was an empty bean field.

Initially saw red round object. Went into cloud then saw green then sharp blue vertical light. It changed to yellow path. Objects looked like they were slowly being drawn up one at a time through tunnel. The sky then closed and objects disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Possible]

Pasadena, CA
At the time of the sighting, approximately 12:35pm, the skies were clear with 10-mile visibility conditions. I was, for a second time today, walking laps around my backyard to stretch my sprained left hip muscle, which is why I wasn’t at work. Now what I’m about to write might sound strange but considering this is my fourth or fifth sighting to leave me baffled, I’ve actually come to expect these types of sightings in my every day life. Specifically in the San Gabriel Mountain area near Pasadena I’ve witnessed dozens of craft that may very well be balloons of some sort since most that I see travel extremely slow and reflect the sun’s white light to appear like stars in the middle of the day. As I paced in my backyard and turned to face the mountains, a dim gray-colored craft flying west to east caught my attention for some reason. It seemed to be at or above 30,000 ft traveling as fast as a plane, but I like to test things now by “transmitting” a telepathic thought out; something along the lines of, “If you can hear me, stop and reverse course.” I then used a helpful technique of finding a nearby tree branch as a reference point to not lose sight of crafts flying through cloudless skies. I followed this first plane-like object with my eyes, taking small steps toward my left to keep it in my sight as it flew eastward. Then it stopped mid-flight and I immediately thought, “Of course, another balloon about to drift in a new direction.” Then for the next 3 to five minutes it remained stationary, and gradually grew so faint that I lost sight of it. Nothing spectacular, but I’ve learned the hard way that an initial disappearance does not signal the end of the experience. Patience is key. I scanned the same area of the sky for another couple of minutes before a craft reflecting or emitting bright white light at the same altitude and speed of the first came into my view. “Must be a plane,” I thought as it approached the spot where the first craft had vanished. Suddenly the second UAP begins circling that very spot in the sky. I’ve never seen a plane exhibit bird-like behavior and make full tight circles within a few seconds. My immediate thought was, “Nobody will believe this,” since I had left my phone in the house and couldn’t record video. As I became fully aware of what I was witnessing, the circling craft started emitting smaller white flares at different points perpendicular and outward of its circular path. I counted four flares in the first four “orbits” and then it circled for at least another 3 or 4 loops before continuing eastward like a regular plane for one or two minutes before I lost sight of it behind the neighbor’s tree. Of course, I “transmitted” a message of thanks before I lost sight of it. I went back inside the house and on my laptop, visited RadarBox.com to look up any possible flight using the playback history feature but nothing stood out to me that matched what I had seen.

Maybe it’s nothing but considering it can only be seen while playing the videos in slow motion and it’s still clearly faster than the Blue Angels that I was filming, it’s pretty interesting. If you blink, you’ll miss it. It’s so fast and when I pause it and take a screen shot, then zoom in, on one of them, the shape changes from a dot to an odd shape. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]

Government Hill, AZ
A friend and I were walking a dog on east bound US Forest Service road #336 heading toward Apache Lake AZ from the Mills Ridge Forest Service Road #429. We looked up and saw an enormous white triangle craft oriented with the one point situated straight down. The craft appeared to be a bit longer than wide. In three seconds the craft narrowed and then disappeared - it did not fly off. One instant it was there and the next instant in time it was not there. The craft was enormous as we could compare it to the mountains on the east side of the Salt River Canyon. It was about 1/3 the height of the mountain side which mountain is estimated to rise 2000 feet from Apache lake level. I estimate craft was between 500 and 1000 ft in length. The craft was approximately 2.5 miles from us as measured on Forest Service map. From this close distance it was simply enormous. There was no noise, sound or exhaust from craft.Color was a milky white with sharp distinct edges. No lights were observed and craft was not reflective. Weather was clear and the temperature was in the 60s Fahrenheit. Sighting spot: (33.6731349, -111.2189123) Craft spot: (33.6572906, -111.1776200)

While in a vehicle traveling west to east, an object seemingly nonterrestrial was seen flashing into, and out of, sight. It was an orb, but seemed more asymmetrical or amorphous. Being so distant, the best that can be described as an orb of light. It was bluish-white in color, and became very bright at some points, and completely invisible at others.

Taking moon shots, I noticed aligned lights over a nearby mountain. The lights became idle waiting for a stray light that appeared to be at the base of the mountain which ascended up to the group, then one by one they disappeared into the sky
