Campbell, CA
At 7pm observed what I thought was helicopter search light: a cone of light coming down at an angle surrounding a bright blue straight trail. At the point where cone of light originated a large, symmetrical ovoid cloud of vapor then appeared. The cone of light stopped but the bright blue trail remained visible as a hazy point of light separated from the vapor cloud. The hazy point of light slowly continued moving up and to the West without a trail although the initial bright streak of blue and symmetrical cloud where it originated could still be seen and shown to other observers.

Murrieta, CA
Observed a growing white light in the sky while looking north. It caught my eye as the light appeared to grow from a slow moving light. The growth of the light spread in perfect circular shape while the circumference grew as time elapsed. Then there was a second flash of light which then grew within the first originating circle. The craft appeared to be moving slow leaving a blue/green trail in a horizontal linear shape. Then as the original white flashes continued to grow the craft then moved quickly north/up leaving the area of the dissipating light. However, the blue/green light took much longer to fully dissipate. I've seen many planes fly but have never witness such a visual as this before. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

I saw a light shining from the sky, it looked really far away. It was a white light shining from what looked like a drone, but it wasn't. There were sightings all over California, Nevada, and Arizona. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Santa Cruz, CA
Traveling home by south east phenomenon of blue light and hue filled my windshield. I observed that the beam of blue light was at a stratospheric altitude and projecting like a giant search light. The beam diffused into a conical shape around a focused blue beam that was almost like a neon blue in color. I pulled over to observe and saw that the blue beam appeared to be tracking something to the north across the sky. The object it seemed to be pointing at or following, was like an orange ball, This object was radiating like a sun, projecting a yellow orange beam back at the blue beam, all while on the move to the north. The orange ball/sun had a conical shaped beam of orange that was directed down to Earth. Neighbors confirmed sighting, and also other neighbors could be heard calling out if anyone is seeing this. U.

Cotati, CA
A very bright light in the sky shining down like a spotlight. A green trail ( smokelike or like a jet stream) was attached to the light and not the object... The light was shining for about 3 minutes. It was so bright that I felt that if it shined on me, it would be too bright to handle. It never shined down on me. I saw that the light was moving in my direction and this black blanket covered it completely. The green streak stayed there as this ufo floated slowly way up and out in the distance. After it was no longer visible there was white smoke in its place where the "black blanket" had covered the ufo and light completely. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Palmdale, CA
Okay so we see this bright light. It looks like a spotlight from a helicopter cause it was bright and headlight shaped but you don't hear anything and it's leaving almost a mist behind while its moving. It then starts to break apart like how space crafts do when going to space but then it starts to disintegrate and leaves the mist behind and a blue streak where it began. (Also, the area we were looking were a bunch of mountains so theres no other lights in the sky nor background really) U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Placerville, CA
My wife and I witnessed this while driving south early evening 11/7/15. We actually pulled over on the side of the road, on top of a hill, on Lotus Road, just south of Lotus, CA to witness the unusual sighting. Because of its linear path I predicted that it was a missile of some sort or a comet. What was fascinating was the exhaust plumage funneling from behind the craft. The enormous exhaust plumage remained for a while - it looked like a giant mushroom, or a giant bell with complete with clapper. The object was moving from east to west. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Green glowing-ish cloud-like orb. Very large but did not capture on photo/video. Did not seem to have a light source but was illuminated and highly visible in the dark to the naked eye. Margins were hazy/fuzzy. It did not move but just hung there. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

A large white contrail with a point traveled across the sky, I only caught the end of the event and when it left there was a large blue fog/haze/cloud streak where it had been and a big white cloud following it. It looked like the object came down then to the right (I think North) and then went back into the atmosphere. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Mira Mesa, CA
It was at about 6:20pm in Mira Mesa California my father and neighbors came into the house to show me 2 lights out in the sky it is a pretty clear night as in not very many clouds in the sky. At first we saw a bright light that seemed to shoot out of a fog or clouds almost like a energy beam and it lasted for about a minute. After the light grew smaller and more into a shape of a circle an aqua blue light much larger in size appeared and that light was in the sky for about 10 minutes. I'd say it was about twice the size of a full moon in the sky and was in the shape of an egg. It was also some what see threw but it was a deep aqua blue color. There also seemed to be another object to the right of the aqua blue light that was about distance wise 2 of the aqua blue lights side by side away from the aqua blue light. That object seemed to be almost cone shaped but if the cone was turned up side down, that object was a lot smaller and farther away so it was hard to see clearly because it wasn't super bright but this object seemed more like a space craft and seemed to be dropping smaller objects but it was hard to tell. This object was in the sky for about 8 minutes and was visible 2 minutes after the bright beam light disappeared. As soon and the bright beam of light disappeared a large soiled ring shaped light was around both the aqua blue light and cone shaped object. The larger ring light was in the sky for about 8 minutes and as more time went by the larger it got. It became so big it disappeared it was huge took up most of the sky while it was still visible. Sky became clear again after the lights went away. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
