Martinez, CA
There I was sneaking out my house, walked out to get in my car surveyed the clear sky noticing stars when I immediately noticed the brightest blinding white stadium sized mass of light far off across the bay over vallejo coming swiftly but steady closer and lowering as a plane does when coming in to land. I felt a fear come over me like I was in danger. I knew from looking at it it wasn't of this world. But as scared as I felt I couldn't take my eyes off it and it was making me squint and I put my hands above my eyebrows to help with glare and I didn't want to be there on the street all by myself but I was memorized by how frigging bright this thing was it must have narrowed directly above me as I broke my neck following it trying to figure out what is it. I will say it was so low I could have jumped and touched it right above the telephone poles and I couldn't even tell you the shape of it and I remember it was dead silent. No noise no rumbling no vibration no static no humming just bright white blinding like a spot light but not a spot light.i had to look down as I turned around so my neck didn't break and as it passed over moving away Staying same hight moving fast I kept looking for shape of some kind then it just kept going till it faded out my view. It had no reflection on my car or gleaming off other metals. I still have that feeling I was going to get snatched up and nobody would have known what happened to me. Like in the blink of an eye.. gone. I was so sure this was it like I showed up early and ruined the abduction in a sense. Like scared as fu.k but willing. I could of threw a football at it and hit it for sure it was so close. It was a force. I never told anyone. I ran back in my house so lucky to see the inside. This impacted my life. It had so much power I could have only been God. But felt like hopeless evil.

Went out side with family and we seen the strange lights once again. We had seen the lights on August 19, 2015. And today again September, 2 2015. Lights are red orange and round they disappear and reappear. I was able to take a few pictures. Very strange. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information.

We saw 6 orange round images hovering over the bay high in the sky they left 3 more appreared out of the west and left 3 more appeaded and left wer have pictures and video, but they are do not represent in good detail what we saw. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he described the sighting quite eloquently. Also, he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. PD

Hemet, CA
The light was dim when o first noticed it. As I was standing there I watched it go from bright to Dim. The light continued to do this many times. Then it grew bright and disappeared. This was around 4:55am in the mountains by Gibble Rd., Hhemet, CA.

What I first noticed odd about it was the direction and location at which it was heading, not on a flight path. It had 2 or 3 separate yet distinct "V" shaped pieces to it or to possibly 3 individual crafts. Each "V" panel had roughly 8 white constant (no blinking or flashing) that made up the V shape itself. While flying directly overhead at a constant speed and course, the 3 V panels where shifting left, right, forward, backwards, even rolling and each was doing a different pattern from the others all while they kept formation and each shifted directions in sequence..... Hard to explain, to give you an example, imagine the constellation of the little dipper (distinctly grouped stars making a pattern that resembles a simlple looking cooking pot---almost symmetrical square and a straight line, yet these triangles were symmetrical). Now picture looking up at the sky and seeing 3 identical yet seperate little dipper constellations that seem to be caugt on each other just floating through space, tumbling.... Kind of like a swarm, yet even closer together, giving off the appearance of one craft with shifting pieces not in any particular order, just gracefully slow dancing with each other. After realizing that this was like nothing I have ever seen, labeled it a real UFO and excitedly called out to a few of my co-workers who were outside as well some 40 feet away, they didnt even look in the sky but instead noticed how ecstatic I was seconds after seeing this thing... So no witnesses in my vicinity. I explained what I saw to a few other co-workers and my family only to get a response of unbelief. Not once did I use the term "aliens" or "space craft," I called it a UFO just for the reason being that I couldnt justify what the hell kind of craft it was. I used my hands to actually show them how the shifting looked (which I wish I could show you guys, I am sure there have been other identical/simular descriptions reported as well.)

Pomona, CA
A bright, star like figure moving quickly across the sky. It was moving erratically and very quickly at first, then it slowed down slightly and zigzagged across the sky for the next couple of minutes, until it left our field of vision.

El Monte, CA
A friend and I were observing a passing satellite (dim light object) passing from South to North. We assume they are satellites because many travel throughout the night. When the object passed directly above us, 2 flashes of lights appeared, flashes were 1/2 second apart from each other. Flashes did not move, they were in the same area. The size of a school bus, squared, white light. Unexplainable experience, never seen before. We both stayed for another hour trying to see if the flashes appeared, but unfortunately they did not. We have observed many satellite objects in years but never seen flashes.

South Gate, CA
LA UFO Channel on Meetup.com has a monthly/bimonthly UFO Sighting Event somewhere in Los Angeles. The event is free and all are invited, especially for those who have never seen a UFO live. This meetup was at Hollydale Park, South Gate, CA. The one in the video has a green star balloon we call a marker (it could be anything). A marker basically attracts attention and draws our cameras and video to itself. Two orbs pass this marker. I am capturing this footage with a telescope (Meade ETX 90, celestron zoom eyepiece, and a Sony A6000). It takes a "tracker" and a "focuser" to run the telescope. Many objects were captured at this event. Another standout was what looked like a balloon cluster dropping an orb. Three of us captured it on video. Amazing footage. Anyway, hope you like this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uMu4HiRqsU

Los Angeles, CA
I took a trip from Boston, MA to Los Angeles, CA 8/13-23, 2015 and stayed with my friend in Sherman Oaks. He had tickets to attend the Hollywood Bowl Friday 8/21 to see the rock band Heart. We arrived around 6:30pm and sat at his box seats in the garden section in time to eat our picnic dinner before the 8pm showtime. Just before 8pm I was looking around because I have only been to the Hollywood Bowl once before and I was excited to be there again. Behind me was a half moon in the SSW sky. By now the sky was dark but it was a clear night and the weather was perfect. A bit cool but I was comfortable wearing a sweatshirt and long pants. Just before the show began I happened to look up. There were Klieg lights crisscrossed right above the stage where they intersected creating a giant "X". My eyes followed them to where they met above in a crystal clear sky and I was amazed to see this UFO! It was right above the "X" of lights and stationary. I could clearly see two round red lights to the right and two round green lights to the left. I could not see a craft but I felt the lights were part of the same structure. It was about the size of my thumbnail held at arms length. I was amazed. It was so obvious that I wondered if anyone else saw it. By 8pm the Hollywood Bowl conductor Thomas Wilkins took the stage and led us in the National Anthem. Afterwards he introduced the first act before they took the stage. I could not keep my eyes off this UFO. I wanted to watch the show but could not help looking up. Then it dawned on me to take some video with my iPhone 5c. I lined up the image and hit record. This is when I recorded the first video at 8:07pm. I recorded the second video at 8:08 which was zoomed in to the lights and gives you a good idea of how it looked. Since it was shot with an iPhone at night it is a bit blurry. I have submitted two very short videos of the object as well as a still shot. You can hear the conductor in the background speaking to the audience in the videos. The unusual thing for me was that I was sure I recorded at least 10 minutes of video but when I looked later I realized I only captured less than 20 seconds between the two videos. I use video all the time so I was very surprised this happened. I must say I was VERY excited because I have seen UFO's in CA before but they were not this impressive. I almost felt as if this thing was watching us. I must admit I was also a bit nervous and tried to pass the lights off as a drone or balloon yet it was neither one of those. It was stationary most of the time right above my head, facing North about halfway up the sky. Because It was above me I had to strain my neck to watch it sitting there. After a while my neck hurt so I began watching the show instead. When I looked back up again I was surprised to see it gone! I searched the sky and saw it moving toward the NNW horizon. It was moving rather fast but as I watched it, it stopped, again I felt it knew I saw it. I got goose bumps. This is when I thought I recorded another 10 minutes of it. Just below the lights in the WNW are large trees and through the trees I saw a strobe light flashing on & off. I thought it odd but it could be manmade, the object was heading in that direction. After about 10 more minutes it fell behind the trees and that was the last I saw of it. It was in the sky for about 45 minutes! I feel it was too large to be a drone and the fact that it stopped and started on it's own would rule out a balloon. Also the eerie feeling I got watching it watching me was uncanny. There was a sellout crowd at the Bowl that night and I wonder if anyone else saw what I recorded. I went on the internet to see if anyone had posted anything on Youtube and found this video which is very close to what I saw. It also was shot in CA so maybe what I saw was indeed a UFO. You can watch that video here http://youtu.be/JRr3bFWfO6o Thank you for your time.

Oakdale, CA
On 8/21/2015 at approximately 0530 I was driving to Oakdale, CA, and a noticed a circular craft hovering at a stand still at about 5,000 feet. As I drove closer to the object, I got out of my car because I could not believe what I was seeing. I could not hear any noise coming from the craft and it at 530 in the morning, it's extremely quiet. I remember my mind was stuck at a daze just staring at the object, as if I was stuck when I was visualizing the object and I find that very odd and not normal for me. The saucer shaped object took off diagonaly into the sky extremly fast and dipped down and shot back up into the sky and it was gone! I could not belive what I had just witnessed. We are definitely not alone in this universe.

Palm Spings, CA
The object is boomerang/crescent-like in shape and was perhaps 500’ to 700’ away about two tall tree heights above the ground in the next block east of me. It moved north to south at about the speed of a soaring hawk. I would say that the wingspan was at least 30’ wide. I only saw the object for about 8 seconds or so. It was dark against a dark but slightly back-lit sky. It was as though the object was operating in a camouflage manner as no light was seen other than the circles on the bottom either dimly reflecting street light or possible being ultra dimly lit. The circles were in a row on the bottom in a variable arc from wing to wing. I marveled as to how the craft blended in with the night sky/stars.

Pismo, CA
While delivering a boat from Santa Barbara to San Francisco, approximately 15 miles from shore, just passed point conception, I noticed in the direction of Pismo a large red fireball looking event that rose from what looked like the ground upwards with a tail that illuminated the clouds below it. The "fireball" seemed to be spherical in shape with "clean" round edges. It then disappeared. Interesting it looks like there have been similar sightings in the general area in the past. What could this have been? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We went outside at 11:00pm, on 08/19/2015, there were strange red orange flashing lights disappearing and reappearing. They were in sky for about 15 minutes or more. I took a few pictures with my phone and one of the pictures shows 4 round objects 3 are like yellow greenish and 1 red object on one of the objects. It showed a strange figure, like really strange. I can't believe what I see in this picture. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD

Hesperia, CA
The object appeared straight overhead to the right over the mountain. It was over the mountain and I know there's no tower on top of that mountain.then as quick as I saw it it faded rather quickly and in three seconds it was gone. It was large like more than half the size of a full moon. I see the full moon a lot over this mountain so I kind of know the size for comparison. There was no noise no sound it just was in one spot. I would also add that it was rather beautiful in color. It was very bright. I also have Skyview so I was using my SkyView to see if this objects could be identified as a particular star. This light was seen in the east sky.

As they got further the light disappeared, going towards Oakdale. We were in shock, trying to figure out what itvwsd. So we sat in backyard yelling to our neighbors. About 10 minutes after, we see ano ther pair same exact and same color. We captured video on cell phone of the two smooth gliding objects. These two were also headed toward Oakdale. What a sight to see. It's making us believers that UFO exist.

Bright green light, round, hovered for several seconds in one spot, moved west bound, then changed to red. Changed to green then back to red before becoming three red dots in an equilateral triangle. Object changed direction rapidly several times before disappearing over horizon.

Stockton, CA
I was at Venetian park in Stockton Ca last night with some friends and as we were conversating one friend all of a sudden shouted ((deleted--"what")) is that! I scanned around to see what he was talking about and when i looked up i saw a triangular formation of 3 blurry white lights. I could not tell if it was a solid triangular craft or 3 seperate orbs butthey looked like they were eminating heat difracting the light around it. sadly it went out of view behind some trees before I could pull out my phone and attempt to record anything on my shitty camera. As I chased after it to get a better view it was just gone but it was at low altitude and only looked like it was going roughly 60 mph southbound. Afte ra few minutes of looking around for more objects another friend of mine pointed a similar formation out but higher and going north possibly the same craft/orbs which just appeared flew for a short distance and suddenly was gone. My initial thought was mabey it was a triangu! lar craft with a partial cloaking device as it did appear to come from nowhere it might have been in the process of cloaking and as I chased it was completely invisible or it sped up I really don't know. I thought I would be more prepared for such a sighting but it actually shook me up a little though I thought I had seen a few,once before for sure but that was a while ago. There did seem to be an influx of helicopter traffic after the sighting over the amount of airplanes flying by which where very distinguishable it was a clear night. The object/s where completely silent.
