Winters, CA
On January 23, 2023 about 11:55 pm I was looking at the “3 sisters stars” a cluster of stars and to the right of this cluster seemed to be many falling stars. The falling stars then became an object coming toward my location. The object’s oval body was opaque blue/black with transparent wings. The wings had about 5 white lights on each wing. As the object flew closely overhead there was no engine sound, no high pitch sound, only the sound of air moving in the quiet sky. From wing to wing the object is about as long as two roof tops of 1500 square foot homes.

Hilmar, CA
Craft hovered in the northern sky, it then rapidly moved to the western shy and hovered in a lower position for about 45 to 50 minutes then vanished. It was bright and appeared to have lights on both sides of the craft with a dark space in the front. It also appeared to be oval or triangle shape.

Benicia, CA
I was sitting on a bench at the waters edge of downtown Benicia enjoying my coffee and muffin before work. I was looking south-bound towards port costa and what caught my eye was this shimmer of something metallic moving very still and straight east-bound. The objects reflection got brighter and my eyes lost focus because I was also facing the sun and could no longer see it or where it went. My immediate reaction was to dismiss it as a small airplane that caught reflection off the sun and then I lost focus of it. That's when I noticed 3 airplanes that I could positively identify as such at much further distances emitting chem trails. One plane was traveling the exact same course as said unidentified object except my eyes didn't lose focus of it despite the sun and was not reflecting sunlight either. The movement of the object was way to still, straight and ominous to be a plane. Why would I even witness a reflection if the object was between myself and the sun? the light would reflect south and not north in my direction and why did it disappear after it got to its brightest point and in mid-day? What the hell did I witness?

Gustine ( about 5 miles west of Gustine), CA
was watching an airliner on an unusual south to north path that was putting out a large jet trail when I caught sight of a triangle object traveling west to east under the airliner’s elevation. It stayed visible for about 15 minutes then disappeared. It was light grey with white lights , this was without any optical aids.

Benicia, CA
I went out into my back yard at approximately 5:30 am while waiting for my coffee to brew and saw an aircraft above flying in from the SSW. Nothing unusual there. I then took a gander at the stars and noticed one was moving, coming from the southeast. Not quickly but slowly, at the speed of a plane, and it was flickering, if not blinking, but with only white lights. I thought it was too high for a plane so I figured it might be a satellite. So I continued to watch it and after about five seconds it momentarily stopped, made a small looping movement off course to the southwest and then back on course, continued for a moment, then made a straight movement to the southwest again, returned to its original course and then stopped dead and remained still. I watched for another minute or so, but it didn't move, so I went back inside. It covered two inches of sky I'd say and the side movements an eighth of an inch.

Fowler California, CA
I was driving in manning Avenue going home from work as I was driving I noticed a bright light like the color of the sunset in the sky it was in a diamond shape it was about 400 feet above ground but as I kept studying it , it would get nearer to the earths ground it was going up and down around the fields it was located about farms and fields the country side of Fowler. As I was driving slowly I rolled down my window and I saw the entire craft go dark from the upper part of it but the bottom of the aircraft had small low beam lights and they blinked in a pattern in threes . I then seen it disappear into the atmosphere like of blended into the night skies color but no pattern was left behind once I seen it disappear I seen the object turn small almost like a star in the sky but it disappeared like it opened a portal or dimension and left this earth. What amazed me was how it didn’t make a sound - no engine it was just silent. I was so amazed at what I saw I was so happy I had the privilege to be a witness I hope I encounter another experience like this. I did not record or take any picture because I was driving and because I decided to live it in the moment.

It kept changing colors so we thought it may have been a space link, not sure exactly what they call those. It was not moving right along it was jetting around a little bit while changing from white to red to green etc

San Francisco, CA
We were on my boss’s roof and noticed the lights in the sky. It was weird because it was a new job and I had just met him and didn’t want to get into ufo stuff. But we witnessed these 6 spheres just sitting in the sky. There were planes and helicopters in the background but the spheres were 100% NOT normal. They just sat there. We witnessed it for about 10-15 minutes before we went inside (they were still in the sky when we left). The orbs did move horizontally at times slightly and a couple times one would wink out, and then reappear somewhere else. I took two pictures. It’s at night, but the orbs are extremely visible on the picture. I’ve seen an orange orb once before (I was by myself that time and it was a lot closer and scary). These orbs were just hovering. It was weird. I reported this to Mufon but never heard anything or know if anyone else reported seeing them.

El Centro, CA
While looking at my security camera screen I noticed 2 silver objects hovering about 15000ft above ground and about 10 miles south of me. I immediately went outside and looked for the objects. Objects where still in the same location for about 2hrs. I have pictures and security camera footage of the objects.. there has been other objects present around the same location for several weeks now, almost in a daily basis.

Altadena, CA
I heard what sounded like a helicopter coming but the sound was pulsating in strength and volume. I ran outside to see what would make that sound when it was directly over head but I could not locate till I saw the single white light and noticed the greenish glow. There was an almost invisible craft except for a barly visible greenish glow in an oval ring shape and off to its right about a football field away was a single light flying exactly the same speed. No flashing lights and the main large craft almost looked cloaked.

Danville, CA
It was around 5-5:30 in which my family and I (my father and eldest sibling) were heading out to pick up some Afghan food in Dublin/Livermore. We headed out via Camino Tassajara Road (Country side region) where we passed Tassajara Hills Elementary School and the soccer stadium nearby, as reference markers. A few minutes later, while listening to music, I looked to my left and saw a stationary object of pure light hovering at a high altitude. Note too, there was a radio on with my family members talking, but neither was too loud to completely overwhelm my senses. Regardless, no obvious sound, movement, or even the common “position lights” of common aircraft were apparent — non-existent. I recorded this object for around 43 seconds, but had my eyes on it some seconds more prior. Even when I wasn’t recording and looked with my naked eye, I could tell there was no movement whatsoever. In regards to the video, it is wobbly given the rough, hilly road, so I do apologize for that, but hope it helps. Now first and foremost, I must inform whoever sees this: there are no signal towers that are of that altitude, nor multiple in the distance that could breach these clouds, or be apparent (usually “dim” but still noticeable, however, not like this), no position lights, thus no aircraft, nonetheless, seemed “odd”. Usually you can see a dark dot to indicate a general idea of form, with objects of our knowledge in this time of day (while being overcast, there was a good portion of light left). While some may rule this out as a helicopter, signal tower, etc, none seem viable. Any grammar, tonal or spelling mistakes, forgive me, since I’m very tired at the moment. Any questions, always welcome to contact me. Thanks

I was driving southbound on the 71 freeway in Chino Hills California. I noticed a bright light in front of my truck up in the sky. And then noticed three more lights so I snap a photo. At that point they were two lights, then a third light appeared at this time I kept shooting photos until the lights disappeared. This all happened with in minutes. The Cleveland national forest was in the background in the light seem to be above the foothills in Chino Hills. Please enlarge photos to see objects.

Every few weeks it comes back above my condo. I have reported sightings with I believe Richard in union city Mufon. Wondering if anyone else has reported the so called moon behaving and moving strangely? From what I gather. It seems like it’s as if it’s some sort of light that hangs and moves on a track? Kinda moves, stops, and kinda wobbles as like a ball hanging from something. I I’ve witness it do circles, il , down, left, right, etc. all local news refuses to even listen to me. I’ve noticed this happen along with many crafts for past 1 1/2 yrs now. I just wish someone with large quality equipment would come out and witness what I see so often. I’m sure you all there know what I’m talking about and would enlighten me a lil of what I’m witnessing.

Whatever it was was moving very fast as I was coming into land, about 4 minutes before landing. It was too low for a plane and moving way too fast for a helicopter. It was reflecting the light.

A white light came straight down out of the sky, thought it was a shooting star but it came down fast not like a plane and hovered for a second and headed down south over the houses and disappeared out of sight. I followed it until I could no longer see it over the houses
