Williams, CA
This video and photos were taken on October 20, at approximately 5:15am, right off of I-5 in Williams , CA. While neither the photos nor the video reflect the true shape of the two objects we saw which were glowing brighter than any planet I have ever seen in the sky, it is clear that they were not orb shaped. They appeared in the shape of large dragon flies on their sides-one wing up and one down, and remained relatively stationary for around an hour as we travelled 40 miles to the east (Kelseyville) where we again observed them (still the same size). I concluded they must be very large to appear the exact same size and brightness 40 miles away from the original sighting location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o-BSpzi2KE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccj_RHR94Mg

Venice beach, CA
I was looking out my balcony window and saw a bright pink light in the sky then it moved quite rapidly and stopped I told my wife to come outside her and I observed the craft flying quickly and making a c shape flight in the sky it seemed to be about 3000 feet in the air quite large and had went towards the marina and stay there behind a building that I could not observe for at least two minutes but then reappeared and it seemed to fly over the Washington pier and then in hovered above the sky again then it seemed to fly very quickly straight down and I could not see it any longer does distance seem to be at least a mile away and it look like it had the speed that it may have gone into the ocean i'm not too sure but I could've swore I seen to jet fighters flying in the same direction where the light was but it had already been out of my sight for a few minutes and these two large airplanes seem to fly right where The light was that last but they continue to fly straight and into the clouds and I could not see the jet fighters any longer .

Roseville, CA
8 ( assumed) discoid shaped crafts giving off a very dim white corona were seen flying in v formation at approximately 1000 ft heading south west in Roseville California on 10/16/2015 at 11pm. It was obviously a formation, as opposed to a large craft, due to one of the crafts being slightly out of place in the v formation.

Bakersfield, CA
We tried calling a news station, and the first one we called wasn’t really interested. The weather man was off for the evening. So we took some pictures and tried to get video but it was too high up to get any great footage. They are tiny dots by this point. They started to the west of us, moved overhead, off to East, then North-West, till we could no longer see them. Our location was Calle Alisos, just West of Stockdale Hwy., and Jenkins Rd., Bakersfield, CA 93314. The objects were in a star-like formation, almost like one of the dipper’s. Bright white like stars, were moving very slowly at first. So slow, you almost missed the movement, then began moving seemingly faster, from East to West, then North-West, until out of sight.

Modesto, CA
Returned home from shopping and a couple of neighbors came walking up and and add they did one noticed a strange lite in the sky unlike anything any of us had ever seen. We just froze, starring at it. A red orange lite that was most definitely hovering. It slowly faded away after about 3 maybe 4 minutes. Really cool but at the same time a little scary.

Could not identify shape. Craft flying low. 3 flashes of white light every few seconds. Craft would remain hover then seemed to suspend in one spot.

Santa Ana, CA
It was a squished oval shape that kind of looked like a blimp but much more thinner. It emitted a flash then changed color from blue to red to green then to red and disappeared was close and in 1 min it was farther. Used binoculars like a flat football. It couldn't be a blimp because there isn't a stadium, arena, amphitheater, etc.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I went to work this morning and I noticed my co worker speaking about it and then my boss agreed to seeing those lights as well that night. Not sure if anyone else noticed?

Cypress, CA
I was walking my dog. No wind. Clear skies. No clouds. No haze. No marine layers. No fog. Very clear skies with unusually bright stars. Very little white noise from the city lights. I happen to look skyward and saw a shape as if a upside down ice cream cone shape. The object glowed in a very strange array of colors. Picture a upside down ice cream cone. It fell from the sky at a perfect straight downward entry. The colors were strange. First green as if the first scoop of ice cream entering earth. Then a scoop of brilliant red followed by blue. The cone part was brilliant purple. The purple part was the same length as the first 3 colors if measured together. Strange but true! I am a Registered Nurse and since seeing this, my normal heart rate has gone from a 72 to over a 100 beats per minute. I know according to physics that if it was debris or a falling object the color array would be different. This truly is so very strange.

Clairemont, CA
I was sitting in my den watching TV, the window of the room to the west and my left. A portion of the sky lit up a soft yet bright beautiful light blue colour, catching my eye. As it is a very hot night with no rain, it could not be lightning. Also, the colour blue was vivid, not white, like lightening. I jumped up to look out the window to see what it could be. As I did, directly overhead, heading west at a fast rate of speed, was a sphere the size of what appeared to be like a basketball or larger, the entire center solid looking with a perfect sphere of an aura surrounding it. The entire object was a very beautiful shade of vivid yet soft light blue, the center slightly darker/denser. It quickly shot west out of sight. Whatever it was did not make any noise. The colour of the blue, spherical object with the glowing lighter blue aura surrounding it was beautiful against the black sky.

Orange, CA
There was an extremely loud noise overhead, similar to that of bombs dropping from the sky. There were no airplanes present above at the time and the sky was clear. Five to ten minutes after the loud noise, there was a red orb which fell from an extremely high altitude (similar to that or above which planes fly); and soon turned to a white light, and then a green light lasting about fifteen seconds. Fifteen to twenty minutes after the orb of colors fell, a bright blue light streaked by lasting no more than five seconds. In this short amount of time, the light had gone from my current location to the ocean which is about seventeen miles.

Fall River Mills, CA
Facing northeast and caught a glimpse of a flash of light to the west. A couple minutes later i caught a glimpse of another flash of light in the south. The night was clear with no clouds that could produce lightning. I didn't see any object or craft.

Mountain View, CA
A few friends and I went to a show at Shoreline Ampitheater in Mountain View. We first noticed 2 lights in the sky that looked a little off. I kept looking back at them throughout the night. They would disappear and reappear. I saw what I thought was a plan going towards the lights. The lights that I thought was a plane separated and bounced off each other before coming back together and flying off in the direction it came. This happened several different times. My friends and I watched as suddenly a 3rd bright light appeared. Within 5 minutes, a 4th appeared. I snapped a picture of them. They were stationary for about 20 minutes when one slowly flew away, then the next one, and the next one and finally the 4th one flew away. Very interesting. On our way to the parking lot after the show, we also saw what appeared to be an asteroid strike across the sky with brilliant blue and green lights in the tail.

Placentia, CA
I saw a single blue diamond shaped object flashing in the distance above the tree line. It stayed still for a couple seconds and then it moved across the sky for a short distance and remained stationary for a few minutes. I had to leave and could not watch it leave. I have the video to prove what I saw.

Organ House, CA
well at first looking through my window in the morning i noticed a light that only can be compareable to the moons brightness but this object seemed to be much closer and not keeping shape. i took pictures and video of it and they show many freely moveing lights close together. every picture they are in a diffrent formation proof that they were seperate flight crafts. they did move slow and people i know have seen the video and pictures are mind blown and confused. some say blimp, weather,baloon, or atmospheric distortion lol i have real footage i would like to give to the right ppl . We suspect a sighting of the three planets in the eastern morning sky. PD

Vacaville, CA
I saw something in the sky tonight over Vacaville traveling from a North to Southerly direction not quite going towards the base. It was a roundish not overly bright orange color. I see planes all the time and even with their exterior lights on this was not something I have seen before. It was not particularly face but it was steady and seems to hover a couple of times before moving on again. I did not hear anything that sounded like a plan or helicopter. It was fairly low because I lost it behind houses and neighbors trees. It was not directly above me maybe half mile away at closets point. This was a 3:43 AM I know because I looked at the clock before stepping outside.

Carlsbad, CA
We noticed a spree type object flashing all different colors, green, yellow blue, orange and red and below a smaller object shooting around we took binocular and everyone agreed it took the shape of a triangle then all the binoculars stopped working we couldn't see out of them at all we had 3 sets of binoculars so this was very strange. the object moved up and down and side to side and stayed all night then it kept rising until we could no longer see it this went out n for hours. Twinkling star?? PD

Norwalk, CA
I had glanced up at the sky around 2100 yesterday and again at around midnight and were only able to see a handful of dimly lit stars. I couldn't see Orion's belt or even the North Star. I also could not locate the International Space Station. At approximately 0530 I laid down on a couch we have next to a big sliding window that leads to the pool in the back yard. The window faces east. That is when I first took notice of the bright light hovering in the distance. The light was very bright and had an unmistakable sparkle to it. I was looking directly at it expecting for it to move but nothing was happening. Around 0600 a second light, relatively dim, but with the same sort of shape and sparkle appeared far in the distance to the East. I then noticed that, at least the original light I had spotted was actually moving west, albeit ever so slowly. I grabbed my iPhone and took some pictures and a short, 1 minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKPx65li2VU By 0630 the original light had moved past the upper boundary of the sliding window and it was no longer visible to me from my vantage point. But it was still there. I know this because every so often I would get up and move my body closer to the window as I stretched my neck looking for it. I was looking at the second light, wondering what these things could be. Suddenly, I see what I can only describe as a triangle shaped ball of fire moving from south to north, or left to right of my window. My first thought was that this was the original light I had been looking at because it was just as bright, perhaps brighter. It moved quickly and left my field of view in a matter of seconds. I jumped to my feet to get a better look where it was heading. It is not difficult to spot a bright light in the early morning sky. I followed it attentively as it traveled north and then it simply disappeared. Gone. Just like that. Almost as if someone had hit the light switch. I blinked a couple of times. It was gone. I found myself disappointed for not having captured it on video. The sky was starting to turn blue by this time and the two original lights I had been looking at seemed to be the only bright objects in the sky. I went inside, grabbed my iPhone and shot a couple of pictures. I continued looking at these lights until the morning sun made them disappear.

Morgan Hill, CA
In the hills of east Morgan Hill, CA, My coworker and I were hanging outside of the wedding we were photographing. My coworker saw a shooting star in the Southern skies. I did not see the shooting star. A minute or two later, a bright light came flying across the sky from the south heading north. It was moving very quickly and it was zig-zagging. Once the light passed us overhead, it slowed very rapidly almost to a stop. It continued to move to the north, but much slower and began to flash a red light intermittently, mimicking a commercial plane. Within a minute, it was over the horizon and out of view.

Oxnard, CA
At around 10:30pm that particular evening a friend of mine and I were sitting on the tailgate of my truck observing the night sky. My attention was drawn to a flash of light almost directly ahead of us in the distant sky above the row of homes across the street. Heading earthward, this object or ball of energy was brilliant green and emitted a white glow or halo followed by a "tail." It was observed in the south Oxnard sky. This story is fact and is supported by another witness. I do speculate, however, that it crashed or entered into the ocean as I believe some of these "fireball" phenomena to be interpretations of submersible spacecraft. Possibly a meteor? PD

Lakewood, CA
While driving home I looked up and saw 2 diamond shape fire flames. I pulled over to the curb. My friend and I watch these thing's travel real slow in unison. They were about 350 feet up and were about 10 feet apart, one being above the other. They looked like golden flames and seemed to be as big as a beach ball from where we were. they started to get closer to each other. We thought they were going to merge. They didn't. They stopped for a moment then one took off towards the North west going low and the other went high. then tiny lights that weren't showing before blinked slowly. Then it went a bit higher, the tiny lights went off and it disappeared.

Lincoln, CA
Sitting in my backyard with family. Saw an alternating blue and red light flashing. No noise at and moving straight up. It then stopped mid air and hovered then slowly moved to the right. My four year old got scared so I brought her inside. I was saying goodbye to the family at the front door a few minutes later and saw past them up into the sky and object up higher in the sky, again no noise, moving slowly to the left then stopping and hovering. His one flashed all colors of light-blue, into violet, into red, orange, yellow, green and so on. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Moorpark, CA
At approximately 8:00 pm, on Oct. 10th, 2015, my boyfriend and I were looking up at the night sky in Moorpark, Ca. We observed the stars and the usual flight patterns of airplanes and other small aircraft. Suddenly a v-shaped (or boomerang shaped object) appeared above us, slightly north, heading east in the sky, then quickly disappeared. It seemed very large, dimly lit, and almost transparent with 4-5 lights on each side. It appeared ghostly, as it did not make a sound, while gliding at a moderate speed. I witnessed this for 3 seconds, and my boyfriend saw this for 2 seconds. Neither of us has witnessed anything like this before.
