I looked in the same vicinity the following night to see if there were a large star in that area again, and there was not. For reference, a star about the magnitude of Venus was directly overhead at that time. Please tell me the name of that star. Thank you.

1 (assumed) spherical object which was white in color was seen hovering stationary at approximately 2000 ft in Roseville, California, on 9/15/2015 at 10am. The object was seen facing west and maintained its position for 30 minutes before moving directly overhead, where it remained for another 15 minutes. See pictures.

El Soreno, CA
What appeared to be a large sized drone (not large enough to encapsulate humans) was seen flying around in loops over the Lincoln Heights/El Soreno area. It sounded electric, as it just wasn't loud enough to be a normal helicopter or something else. I believe their were actually two propellers, one on each end of the cigar shaped object. It had two white lights (also on the ends) and one flashing red light. I wasn't aware of LAPD or local law enforcement using these drones but it was large enough that it had to have been some sort of surveillance drone. It was almost definitely not a civilian drone for size reasons alone. It was kinda weird, couldn't find anything else about these in the area by Google search and I found this so thought I'd submit a report.

Downey, CA
At 05:45 am, I went to the golf course. Was walking and looking east and saw Venus in the sky. Just under that was what looked to be a high flying satellite or a high flying aircraft. There were no nav. Lights. Suddenly, it sped up real fast and made a 20 degree course change and went out of sight. Note: There was no vapor trail or smoke.

Calabasas, CA
A purple light started hovering above and moved left to right in a slow motion then slowly started hovering in a zig zag pattern heading towards City of Los Angeles, While object was moving towards LA it changed its light to bright red for about 3 seconds then went back to purple and continued on its way, there was no sound heard while it was hovering we tried taking a video of it but it was so dark and high up it can barely be seen on the phone.

Antioch, CA
I just saw two UFO's. Night, Sept 10th, 2015, at approx. 8:15 pm, Antioch, CA. A red, round light and a blue, round light traveling directly east, from west. I thought they were Mylar balloons at first, about 50 feet up, but traveling too fast and strait and the wind is coming more from the north/north west. Then I thought “birds?” I thought they were balloons reflecting light from the street lamp. I soon realized (about 1 second after they came out from behind my tree and about 3 seconds after first sight) they were not balloons or birds, as they had their own light source. Then the red one changed coarse slightly but both kept moving quickly to the east in very strait paths. When the red one changed course for a moment it seemed to be a very precise, yet playful movement. They crossed overhead and out of sight towards the horizon in Antioch in about 10 to 12 seconds (total sighting including tree obstruction for 2 seconds). They made no sound (that I could hear). I was not sure how high up they were, so also not sure how big, but given the minimum distance they moved, they seemed to be going fast. They seem to fade away before reaching a normal distance of low visibility and while still above the horizon impediments. The sky is clear. My neighbors are almost always on their front porch so I went across the street and asked them and one of them saw it too. They exploded in a flurry of slightly intoxicated explanation and agreement that one of them had just mentioned it, saying, “I guess you’re not seeing things.” The girl saw it as it was already well past the zenith and closer to the horizon. She also said she only saw a blue one, which I thought was strange because they were only a few degrees apart after going into the distance, but that was from my line of sight, which should not have been much different than hers. Maybe the red one faded out before the blue one, I do not recall. It seemed to go one or two miles in! about 13 seconds, but that is guessing that it was as big as a house and about 600 to 1200 feet up. It may have been 200 feet high, very hard to judge. It looked about the size of a 20 inch balloon just above the telephone pole. It was exciting. So exciting, it may have happened in 6 or 7 seconds and just seemed like 10 or 12 seconds.

Santa Maria, CA
Tonight 9-10-15, my daughter asked what are those orange lights. While driving to the store. When I looked were she was pointing I noticed three orange fireballs/orbs. Made a U-turn back home. Upon arriving at home, I ran inside to inform my mother. That is when she went outside. We watched the three orbs continue what was appeared to be a continuous elevation in the western horizon untill they disappeared in the same spot one after the other.

San Jose, CA
We looked up and saw a chevron shaped craft headed South towards the Santa Cruz Mt. range. It moved quite quickly. It had seven oval shaped dim lights on it that we could both see clearly. It was dark in color and after about 5 seconds it slowly dimmed its lights and vanished. Then, about 5 seconds later, there was an extremely BRIGHT, small round craft that flashed and then shot off towards the same direction as the first draft and vanished. It was amazing. Amazing. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE)) Peter, Our sighting actually occurred at 21:30 on 9/9/15. That's 9:30pm PST. Thanks for checking. Best, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Woodland, CA
I was driving down Main Street and noticed a group of people near the sidewalk looking up and pointing at the sky. I was driving in the opposite direction and really wanted to see what they were looking at, so I pulled over into the nearest parking lot, looked up and saw a cluster of what appeared to be very large roundish dark colored UFO's with tails floating high above me. There were at least 30 and all were moving in unison. I watched them float and move slowly through the sky for a couple of minutes. I very quickly moved my car over a few spaces, as my view was partially blocked. I looked up again and they were gone.

Cambria, CA
Clear night sky on the beach at Cambria, California. The unknown craft flew north to south, low over the ocean, close to the beach. It had NO sound and had dull orange glowing tips on its "wings," which appeared to be 12+ feet apart. Moved very quickly, faster than a drone. Lights on the wings did not flash. Two observers. Unable to identify.

Anaheim, CA
I had just parked my car, when i noticed a white orb moving slowly, but remained in the same place. I started to record it and take pictures, but the camera has poor quality images. There was no sound coming from that object. A man who was running away from the police passed by and also noticed the light but he was so paranoid that he thought it was the police looking for him. (I say this because he comes out in one of the videos and the sound is of a helicopter flying nearby).

Campbell, CA
On the night of September 6th, 2015, I witnessed an object I couldn't explain. As I was watching a show on my phone whilst laying on my patio furniture, I saw a small orb of light out of the corner of my eye. It grew to the size of an eraser on the end of an eraser, relative to my vision of course. There was considerable distance between myself and the object, probably around the same altitude an airplane reaches during the middle of their flight. The object did not move, it merely hovered and pulsated. When I finally focused om the object, it swelled to its full orb-like appearance, then slowly receded into nothingness. I searched the sky for the next 5 minutes, waiting for it to reappear, to show me that it was just a plane light, but it mever did. The object was the shape of an orb, or possibly a fireball. I found myself describing it like an explosion contained by a very strong, yet clear glass. It was a burnt orange color with a white core, as far as I could tell. It produced no discernible sound, no engines, motors, rotors, anything. Just the light. The sky was clear, no cloud coverage or much smog. I could see the stars, which is why seeing this orb confused me so much. This occured above a suburban apartment complex near a main thoroughfare.

Hayward, CA
My husband was first to observe this Saturday evening, we proceeded to the end of our drive way to get something from the car, then looked up north south to the sky because he thought oddly that the stars looked really close. Not only because they were all visible but because they are an actually aircraft in the sky flying preparing to land, which is not unusual for where we live we always have planes flying over our house! We all know what they look like and sound like the Oaklnd Airport is 10 minutes from our house and hayward airport is closer just a 1/2 mile. He then called my father-in-law out and to his disbelief he said these are not planes there lights are different. Then they called both of us out, when my mother-in-law and I proceeded outside we were both stunned!! I immediately thought these are UFO I had seen some strange videos but I never thought anything of it, just people messing around on the Internet. But these were hovering in a formation 8 of them to be exact, if you could connect the dots they would have made a horizontal zig zag they were also flickering but not a candle, but as if it was rythmic, Slow as if it was a heart beat, they all were the same color a orange/red and circler!!! They then began to dispate one by one up toward the atmosphere then leaving two which filed into formation right underneath one another. Moving one from the left and the other from the right!! They looked as if they were sliding into formation and as this was going on there was a plane like I said traveling inward toward the airport!! So we all knew these were no way planes by any means!! And if this was a hoax someone was playing then it was a pretty damn good one, fooled me!! Then finally the top one dissipated upward and then followed by the second right into the atmosphere!! I'm literally still in shock as I'm writing this and I'm a very logical person by every sense of the word. I need proof or my own eyes and I know I'm not! crazy!!! What I saw was exactly how I saw it!!
