Driving four blocks to my daughters house i see the craft at helicopter heighth. Lit up 3 in a row like the top of a stadium light. Hovering then moves over four houses..hoveres, by then i had gotten closer almost to my daughters house who lives with her father. The thred lights separated or moved over slightly shifting the dark shape changed. It tilted to the right i could see the round dark shape of its bottom. It was silent. I dont know if it was a sound it made just then i guess i would say a short intensifying hum then it flew fast and i couldnt see where. It stayed low to the houses. It hovered over my daughters dads house. We asked him if he heard anything neither him nor my nine yr old son heard anything. It was some xfiles shit was my daughters opinion on what we saw. Best one i ever seen and so close i raced through stop signs to get near it. Attaching only cell phone photo i could get while driving.

El Segundo, CA
I was in a vehicle heading south on Sepulveda Boulevard when we stopped at a red light. I was in the passenger seat and I looked up at the brilliantly lit skyscrapers on the next block. It was then that I observed a pitch black flying wing shaped object swoop across my field of vision. It emitted no lights and was moving quite rapidly into a headwind. I did not see it long enough to get a size but it was approximately forty to fifty feet off the ground and it crossed a sixty foot space in less than three seconds. It was only visible for a couple of seconds before it vanished into the night sky. It was so black as to be completely invisible once it was no longer silhouetted against the building.

Van Nuys, CA
At 15:32 on April 21 (today) I was looking straight up into the sky and saw a couple of recent chemtrails stretching across the sky, a common experience. Then 5 shiny blue-green objects appeared in the sky, in close formation. I thought at first they were balloons, moving in a NW direction. Though they were third-dimensional, they were not perfectly spherical. They were quite high up and I couldn’t see the detail. I thought they might be drones, but not skinny at all. Then it appeared that two of them emitted short white cloud-like “chemtrails,” one each. I watched these for a short time, floating in the wind. They started to spread out as chemtrails do. UFO’s disappear. I looked away for no more than a second and when I looked back, the formation of 5 had disappeared completely. They were nowhere in the sky. But the “chemtrails were still there, and started to change shape (as chemtrails never do -- they just spread out.) From the center of each a bulge formed. One of the bulges drifted down, still connected, so the effect was that of a right angle. The other bulge did not drift, but was more rounded than straight. These small cloud-like formations lasted for a while before I went inside. They were two high up to get a good picture.

Palmdale, CA
Conditions: Clear sky, no clouds, maybe a little hazy, full moon. Event: Looking east from my back porch I saw two green lights moving west to east in approximately the same path as the airline traffic coming east to west flying over Palmdale as they approach, I believe, Burbank, CA, Airport. The green lights looked as if they were attached to two separate vehicles one following the other in trail by what looked like, compared to the airliners, about one half mile. Which is about half of what the airliners typically are spaced. They appeared to be moving much faster than and above the airliners. Each light was a single light that in size was about the same or a little larger visual angle as the forward facing lights of the airliners. The weird thing was that the lights were blinking in perfect unison. This lasted for about 30 seconds or so as they continued to move east. Then, as they were pretty far off but still visible, the lights started blinking completely but perfectly opposite to each other. This lasted another 10 – 20 seconds until they disappeared as they became too small to see. Corroboration: My 25 year old daughter was on the porch and saw them also.

Napa, CA
I was laying down on a bench looking up at the night sky when I saw the object moving south to north. I thought oh cool a satellite (dim fast moving), but as I focused at the moving object there was more than one. It looked like a group of 4 satellites in a "v" pattern, with the fourth straggling behind the 3 (like this <.) I don't know if there are any satellites currently in orbit that are in a group that close together but is sure was strange.

Marysville, CA
while my husband and I were flying a kite, (lol I know) I spotted 3 objects in the sky moving around each other almost like birds...except they were brightly reflecting the sun at times, depending on which way they were tilted, with out wings. They stayed in view as they moved away until they were too small to see. the objects were in a triangle shape mostly, just moving in a circle pattern. When I first spotted them they were close enough to see that they were made of a metallic looking material and the grey and silver color of them seemed to constantly change. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

At least 10 blue lights came from the west to the east towards Edwards AFB they were traveling together and then they went all in different directions traveling east, they seem to go further into the sky until they could no longer be seen.

Sacramento, CA
Around 8:34 pm we sighted a total of 10 round red UFOs flying in a straight line, one after another. Except for a short break between the 3rd and 4th, and the 5th and 6th. They came from the east and travelled northwest. As they flew higher they faded out of view. They all seemed to travel at the same speed except for the 5th one which came out later then the others and travelled faster. They were all a flaming red color like they were on fire, only brighter then fire. I took video but it just looks like white lights doesn't show red.

Goleta, CA
My husband and I live near an open field that faces Goleta Airport. We just moved here not long ago and I have seen 3 sightings of strange objects at night near the airport. Two of the sightings contained a white orb. It hovered in the center of two trees, went to the right, and then back to the center and stayed for a couple minutes before lowering into the tree line where I could no longer see it. This happened on two separate nights. On 4/15 the orb then turned into a cross like shape. This time I had my husband look at it, and we were both watching in amazement because it was clearly not an airplane. I can’t determine whether it was “alien”, but it was definitely an unidentified flying object. There were two other incidents that were different but still not explainable. About a month prior (3/25) my mother came to visit and went outside to smoke before bed (around midnight). She asked me to come outside and look at the sky. I can’t explain it, and have never seen anything like it in my entire life. Over one section of the sky above my house, the sky was lit up like daylight and had a pink hue to it. It was cloudy and bright/pinkish in color. The rest of the sky was completely clear and pitch black. We were both so disturbed by it that we went inside. The last event was at around 13:00 on 4/2/16 and I saw another strange object in the tree line. This looked like a craft with two lights. One white light was on each side and that was all I could see. I woke my husband up and we watched this craft just hover without moving for a few minutes between the trees. Then is slowly stayed in a straight line and moved to the right until it was out of our view. I am unsure of what is going on around here. I stay up late, and look outside often because I have floor to ceiling windows and doors in every room. I have never seen so many strange occurances in such a short period of time. I wonder if there are experiments going on at the airport? I can’t imagine that being the case because it is public airport, but I have no other way to explain what could be going on.

Redlands, CA
It was the night of April 09, 2016 as I was riding my bike back home from getting something to eat in Redlands, CA. For a while I enjoyed watching the sunsets, walking in the rain, and looking up at the stars, so as I was looking up at the night sky I noticed two lights crossing back and forth from each other. As I continued to ride home, I thought the lights were just a couple of helicopters. 5 min later I saw the lights again, but they seemed closer and I could see them more clearly. The two lights were not any aircraft as they were moving too fast back and forth. So I got my phone out to try to take a video but it was too dark but for some reason I could take clear pictures, so I spent and hour taking numerous pictures as the objects disappeared and reappeared every few seconds. They were not red or blue but just a plain white colored light, so a good 30 min passed before I finally decided to go home. Once I got home, I've noticed a pattern of the lights, they were not two objects passing back and forth, but two lights going around this one circular object. I saw this by the way the lights pointed as they disappeared and reappeared in this pattern behind the clouds in the sky. I don't know if the object was the shape of a sphere, circle, oval, or cylinder as I only saw the lights going in a circular motion. The best way to describe what a saw was this circular object with two white lights on the object going around it. Three hours later I decided to go outside to see if the lights were still there and they were. My father, sister, and I saw these lights. I would say the object was pretty massive, no where near the size of an airplane. The way the lights were traveling around it I would approximate the size as the length of 10 planes or even bigger. I don't believe I was abducted as I kept track of time because I've heard stories before and I haven't had any physical harm. I hope someone else out there in Redlands or highland saw this object that I saw that night.

I saw a flying object flying above the clouds. Object was dark and barely lit. I saw a hint of red light coming from it but no blinking light like normal aircraft. Object was like a shadow that doesn't want to be easily seen traveling thru night sky.

Bartow, CA
A Grey Cube shaped craft (Diamond), about 50 feet tall, and wide, was flying past the above airplane level, and at completely unnatural speeds, during 9:00 am I was about to go inside my house, and I felt the need to look in the sky, I first thought it was a plastic bag, but after seeing it fly above the clouds at speeds that no plastic bag could ever hope to go, I realised what it was, a craft around 50' tall/wide, it was basically joyriding going in directions it logically should not, but still maintaining a direction towards east. It effected nothing, no sound was emitted, no magics; the only thing I could say it that it could have made me look at it threw "mind control", and thats a stretch. I could never describe it as perfectly as I seen it, but I know it was a big, grey, sky-diamond, and it should not exist. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

This was a ball shaped, fluorescent green light (about the size of a tennis ball). It looked like it was liquid and I saw it roll down the inset corner (where two walls meet) of the Hyatt Hotel building at the Pike. It "rolled" down the outside of the building and I haven't seen it before or since then. Did anyone else see it?

Folsom, CA
My friend and I were coming home it was around 10:30p. We’re driving along and out her front windshield we see what we thought was a shooting star come into view going left to right, but it lasted too long and is was too bright and going extremely fast. It was shooting down at a steep angle, 45 degrees. Then I can see 2 lights on it not just 1 and realize it's not a shooting star but a plane or something that is going to crash. Then it disappeared in less than a second. There were no clouds in the sky infact there were stars out.

Riverside, CA
I was sitting in a car driving along the road. I was looking outside the window like i always do and glanced at the nighttime sky. I saw what looked like a bright green star, but it was moving horizontally across the sky and had a tail. It then suddenly disappeared mid-flight. I also saw/reported a ufo(which was also green and star-like, but different) about a week ago. The two sightings took place in nearby locations.

San Diego, CA
While flying kites at Tecolote Shores park, I happened to notice a fleet of 20-30 UFOs in the sky that appeared very similar to images and video of UFO fleets over Mexico City. These craft seemed very high altitude since planes passed near them and were obviously well underneath the UFO swarm. The UFO fleet appeared to be made of craft that were somewhat round and seemed to either reflect white light or create their own white light. Individually, they appeared like points of white light in the clear, bright-blue, early-afternoon, southern California sky. Also, some of crafts appeared to be larger and brighter than others. One of the larger craft was observed emitting a smaller/dimmer craft. Some of the smaller/dimmer craft were in tight formations and created geometric patterns like the three corners of triangles or triangles with an exact center light. Over about 30 minutes the fleet drifted from the eastern sky towards the West. The fleet expanded and some ! witness claimed they saw some of them suddenly disappear. A few people tried to get video or photographs, but the kites in the sky and overall sunny early afternoon conditions would not allow our phone cameras to zoom in enough or focus on the formation.
