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.

On 11/07/2015 @ 18:10 in the western skies of southern California. I noticed a strange unusually , brightest light than anything normally seen in the skies. When I noticed it , I thought it as the moon, it was as big as the moon if not larger, it lasted for approx. 30-40 seconds before it faded from a dark sky blue to the normal shade of blue sky. When it disappeared it was as if it went behind a cloud but, there was no clouds in the sky at all. Very strange & weird! My roommate has a picture of the mysterious bright light. I will share if interested contact me. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

I was outside just after sunset at approximately 6:05 PST when out of the South from the direction of San Jose I notice a bright pinpoint of light. At first it looked like an aircraft light in the sky, but as I watched it began projecting two searchlights from underneath, creating a V-shape of light, like two searchlights. Then I noticed the lights were creating a cloud or mist in the sky where the shone. The intensity of the searchlights grew in size and intensity as I watched. The searchlight-like beams below the light stretched down and grew brighter. Two distinct beams were being projected at about a 30 degree angle below and to the left of the light. The light appeared to be at a high altitude, and I thought at first it was a satellite reentering Earth’s atmosphere. It was moving at a rate of speed similar to an aircraft, and as it moved Northwest, the beams grew in intensity. The cloud beneath it remained luminescent for some time as the light progress! ed, and it left a separate, fainter blue-colored trail, behind it marking it’s direction of travel. As I watched the light went behind some tall trees, and I lost sight of it. It reappeared much dimmer when it emerged from the trees, with no lights projecting from beneath it. It slowed, and became an amorphous light (more like Haley’s comet the last time it came around) and seemed to change shape, from a point of light to a vertical shape. I watched for another couple of minutes as it grew dimmer, changing direction and heading Westward towards the ocean until I could no longer see it. Entire event lasted about 5-7 minutes? U. S.

North Hollywood, CA
It looked like a giant shooting star, and then like it lit on fire. It then turned the sky white and left a green streak in the sky behind it. It eventually burnt out and the looked like a faint white orb that was possibly smoking.

Temecula, CA
Started as a pin of light which expanded into a bright white circle. A sphere of vapor seemed to be emitted, followed by a green streak which remained stationary. The sphere of vapor expanded and maintained it's shape while it dissipated. The green streak remained. Origin: West to East. After emission travel changed to North.

The light continued to travel up and west, but blue green light stayed stationary in the sky and turned into a streak of light. The white light started leaving a vapor trail as a comet would. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Canoga Park, CA
3 of us watched a bright light emit greenish gas as it slowly traveled North in the Western sky between Canoga Park and Santa Monica in the sky. It left behind a large cloud roughly several miles wide that kept spreading while the light moved northward. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Marina del Rey, CA
We were looking toward the southwest when an object came flying upward and had a tail. We thought it was fireworks. It was moving too slowly and deliberately to be a shooting star. It was orang in color. A few moments after we noticed it, a red ball came off the end and eventually disappeared. The orange triangular shaped object eventually had its tail dissipate and moved progressively higher into the sky where it ballooned a bright light out of itself that created an aura that looked hazy and had a blue trail the triangular orange object continued to move through the sky while the hazy orb expanded into the sky. It was a huge! Did anyone else see this? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Los Angeles, CA
At first I saw a fire ball gliding slowly through sky leaving a faint trail of white smoke .. Then once it was more or less directly in front of us maybe like half a mile away or maybe less .. It turned to a white light .. Then in turned on a fat round beam of light that expanded and turned like a light house light with a green beam , with a serpent head ending ..coming from the middle of the white light .. Then all of a sudden to the right of the white beam a circular mist of white smoke,, was blown out looking the way fireworks explode in the sky ,, minus the fireworks just smoke .. The main circular light .. Then faded into a tiny star type shape .. Leaving a green cloud lingering for up to five min or more.. Government or ufo?? Witness does not indicate a time for the sighting, so we have assigned an arbitrary/estimated time for the event. PD

My husband and I were finished shopping at Trader Joe's in Huntington Beach, CA, at 6:05 p.m. I was climbing into the passenger seat of our car and happened to look up in the dark night sky above the store. It had been a clear sky during the day, no clouds. What my husband, another lady shopper, and I saw looked like a beam of white light in the shape of a wide cone emanating from a point of origin. When I first looked the point was bright and round, but later it seemed to disappear, but the cone of light remained, there was no sound. My husband and I were saying to each other, "What is that? What is that?" Slowly the cone of light, which was originally quite wide began to diminish in light and faded away until all that was left was a very weak dusting of light. After it faded out we turned and saw a lady shopper who said, "We just shared something, but I don't know what it was." We drove home, which took about 5 minutes and I l! ooked into the sky at that spot and there was still a dusting of light, very faint. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
