There was a sizable blue light hovering in the night sky. It was not moving. It faded in and out for a while, then disappeared. It almost looked like a cloud, but it was a distinct blue color. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

An illuminated "cloud", greenish blue overhead and to the west an object at the center of a "hourglass" shaped cloud. Greenish blue in color and easy to see in the night sky. Object was observed changing direction.

I was outside, looked up saw soft looking cotton/fuzzy textured glow of white light that looked like an upside down cone. At the tip the light was very long and slender. This connected to one bright teardrop shaped object that was a very bright white light. I thought that it may have been a plane flying through an overcast sky and disturbing moisture or a police chopper with their search light on and looking for something. The the light glow was not that bright and did not touch the ground. I ran for my camera and the light was gone. Then in the distance I saw the point of light, the teardrop shape. I ran and got my binoculars and could see the tear dropped shape brightly glowing. It would repeatedly go bright and dim. There was no sound, noted that the stars are bright, no noticeable haze or clouds; a passenger jet was clearly seen moving toward San Francisco airport. The object was not climbing but moving forward and only white. Weird. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

My wife called me and my daughter outside (her mother came out a few minutes later), to witness a large bluish glow up in the dark sky. It was oval shape in appearance, and very large. About the size of a golf ball (elongated), if held out a arms length, up towards the sky. The bluish glow (light) moved slowly across the sky, then back again, before fading out. The bluish light was not a normal light, and wasn't that bright, but bright enough to easily be seen (glow). I wouldn't be surprised if other people witnessed this too. Waiting now for the explanation that scientists want us to hear. Between UFOs, CERN, the 2nd coming - end of the world, etc...-things are happening faster, more often, and all over the world.

Marina del Rey, CA
11/7/15, 6:15 pm Marina del Rey We saw a bright white light shining in a 90 degree arc into a white cloud. We thought it was an airplane headed to LAX flying through fog. But there was no fog, and then a turquoise blue tube of light shot out and hovered over the marina. The white cloud became transparent and began to mist down to earth. The white light faded back and looked like 3 small vertical white lights surrounded by a white mist. The blue tube shaped light stayed in the air for 5 minutes gradually changing into an indistinct saucer shape. I took a photo which only showed the white cloud at a distance, but with lots of orbs in the foreground. I'm a registered nurse, my husband and my sister (all in our 50's) all witnessed this. U. S.

Valley Village, CA
I saw an orange light going diagonally in the sky. The orange light then extended itself for maybe 3 sec. It then passed behind a building so I couldn’t see it anymore. When it passed that building it left a green colored cloud and the UFO stopped to light up the green “cloud”. It projected a very strong light horizontally (approx. 30 feet long). It then started it again moving diagonally in the sky with its light on and left in the sky. The green cloud just stayed there even when I was leaving 5 minutes later. You could still see the light from very far away in the sky. I have never see anything like it.

Santa Cruz, CA
An aircraft was moving across the sky over the ocean at the harbor, emitting a massive white lighted vapor into a triangular shape which continued to expand, and then a neon light like a beam came out of the back end like a tail. We were unable to determine the shape of the craft, it seemed either at quite a high altitude, or tiny. A few small circular puffs appeared behind the the craft as it disengaged from its creation. We could still see the craft as the white light or vapor began to dissipate. The green was the color of the northern lights and was still faintly visible when we stopped watching. U. S.

We saw what we thought was a police helicopter spotlight over the open fields south of Poppy Ridge Road, maybe half a mile away, but there was no sound at all. The sky is clear, but the light appeared as though it was shining into a mist in a cone shape from this round spot. We then thought maybe it was an airplane's landing light. It was moving from south east to west, northwest. Judging speed is difficult because I couldn't clearly determine the object's size or distance. But it went from a point due south of our house to a point directly west in the 3-4 minutes when we lost it in the trees. The object, after we initially saw it looked very much like a comet, with a very bright, distinct "tail". That's when I thought it was a meteor which would burn out (baffling, because it seemed so close at first). I grabbed my binoculars from the truck and looked at it, as it sent out an "s" shaped wisp of smoke or something and then an hour glass shaped illuminated smoke or something, emanating from the small round point. This happened over a period of maybe thirty seconds and it repeated this several times-I'm not sure they were at precise intervals. I am absolutely sure others looking at the sky in this area at this time would have seen it. Another thought I had was that it might be a multi-stage rocket, but traveling in this direction makes no sense. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Poway, CA
I just turned on to the street on which our house is located. Maplewood St Poway CA is a street that basically runs in a northeast to southwest direction and intersects with twin peaks. I was driving east on twin Peaks and turned right heading southwest on Maplewood. I noted a object streaking in a south to north direction through the sky maybe 30 Deg above the horizon leaving a trail that appeared to be 6-12 inches long, as compared to 2-3 fist lengths at arms length. The leading sphere was orange in color. My initial thoughts were a meteor as the object was not really changing elevation. As I was pulling into my driveway a time span from my first sighting, maybe 30 seconds the tail began to dissipate in length to no visible tail. At this point I had gotten out of my vehicle and was walking up to the front door. As I approached the door I yelled for my wife to come check it out as it was changing color from a burnt orange to white and had stopped ! tracking south to north and became stationary. The sphere became extremely bright white and hovered at a constant location with minor oscillations. This transition from moving object to stopped object changing color from orange to bright white was maybe 45 seconds. At this point my wife came outside and I showed her the object. The object then appeared to move in a westerly direction from stationary on a slightly upward trajectory but maybe only a 5 deg increase. It appeared to be moving away and the sphere began to decrease in diameter. There was a bright blue halo trailing the object which became oblong. Over a period of another 45-90 seconds the object continued to receded from our position. However the bluish contrail remained for a additional 5-30 seconds . For some background I am a mechanical engineer. I worked at CCAFS in FL for a period of one year working for General Dynamics on the Atlas program. I have witnessed more that 6 night launches of vehicle ranging from Delta, Titan, Atlas II & Atlas V and STS. I have seen launches in dead night and near sunset and sunrise. The brilliant white light which trailed away from our view location was unlike any propulsion system glow I have ever witnessed. The color and shape of the plume was unlike any chemical rocket plume. Additionally the brilliant white color was brighter and very consistent in color density. Again unlike any view I have ever witnessed in the launch industry. What was out of place? 1. Transitioning from south to north travel at a constant horizon height to stopped. Tail to no tail and change of color. 2. Color of sphere or propulsion. 3. Unlike any medium to large chemical rocket launch I have ever witnessed. No small missile launched off a military vessel displays this brilliant white propulsion system. I have witnessed launches from VAFB of Atlas, Peacekeeper and Delta from this same location on Maplewood over the years. What can I say I worked in the rocket industry so it was a pleasure to watch night launches especially if they occurred shortly after sunset as you would get good reflection of the vehicle and exhaust. There is no way this was a military launch. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Saw bright light beaming as if a helicopter searchlight,heading North/Northwest approx 60 degrees high over horizon apparently spewing contrail or smoke plume, then it blew through a smoke circle of it's own creation, then (and I'm guessing separation)blasted through a large lazy V-shaped cloud and kept going. Could see the light from it for a minute or two, heading off over the Pacific. Assume missile of some kind, but no official launches scheduled for Vandenberg. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

South Gate, CA
There was this strange light in the sky. It was surrounded by this cloudy mist, and had a blue trailing light behind it. It seemed to travel very fast. It was plainly visible to everyone. The light was white, and very bright. The Trailing cloud looked to be what I would see on pictures of comets, but I can't be too sure about that. It looked like it passed through our atmosphere, and then it vanished. When I first saw it, it had this strange triangle look to it, then it turned to a bright white light. U. S. Navy missile launch.

It was a star type craft that light up the sky, then it stopped moving. Then a larger craft flow over with a huge wing span that had no noise it was gone in a matier of minutes this is not a joke i have a witness who saw the something. 7nov2015 U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
