Chico, CA
While in our backyard we saw an orange shere that seemed to have a faint whitish "aura." It came from the west heading east, slowly with no sound at all. After we retracked from behind a tree less than 10 seconds later it was many miles further away than any aircraft we've seen travel. It was heading in the direction of Beale Air Force base.

The object appeared directly in front of us. No blinking of any kind just a bright red light. It did not move but after 5 minutes it just vanished.

Truckee, CA
Alerted by civilians to lights in the sky. Walked out with three partners and looked to north sky. Saw 6-7 lights moving In a a group. Lights would change direction rapidly and move laterally any direction. One light sped up very rapidly and appeared to taunt the other light. It would rotate around the other light in a movement best described as a pendulum movement. Those lights then rapidly separated and moved toward one of the other lights and immediately formed a perfectly sided triangle which held in place for a few minutes. Two of the other In the group continued east of the triangle and then all lights moved together spread out but in a group moving to the north until they went behind a large mountain range. Just prior to loosing sight of the group what could be called a rogue light came along into our view traveling north east and then instantly change direction to move due north as if to catch the larger group. The movements were not terrestrial in any way shape or form. No sounds no blinking lights just a constant white light.

Carlsbad, CA
I was working the gate at a fairly high Security facility and looked up at the bright stars that night. Saw one star straight up, at the bright end of the scale that appeared fuzzy. As I watched it, I saw that it was getting bigger, like it was coming toward me, but getting fainter at the same time. I alerted the other guard who came over and saw the object, which now appeared as a fading grey circular object that continued to grow in size. I looked at the object through a handheld thermal imaging camera but could not see it (Likely due to high altitude). We watched the object until it was probably the size of a dime at arm’s length. By this time, it had moved slightly horizontally (As if drifting), but was still perfectly round. I alerted our Supervisor, who was now wondering what we were looking at, but the object had become too dim for him to see. The sighting lasted 2 minutes.

San Jose, CA
I was on the freeway when I saw a Huge Spaceship hovering above. It looked like it was trying to hide in the clouds, which were extremely out of the ordinary dark, but not rain clouds. The ship popped into view suddenly and disappeared along with the dark cloud. I swear it was there! I didn't get a chance to catch it on my phone, but my girlfriend and I both saw it. It was the size of two skyscrapers surrounded by a massive disk like structure, with a crown like top structure. It Resembled district 9 movie spaceship!! The craft disappeared in a flash... getting smaller like as if a vortex had sucked it back in. The White clouds around the object that disappeared the clouds were streaking to one point After I pulled over I saw several small dark clouds hovering low in the atmosphere, these clouds were like nothing I've ever seen ... these clouds were traveling at an unusual rate across the cities and they started to vanish very quickly into thin air. Within a matter of seconds they disappeared. Latter I traveled to Liver-more where i was surprised to find several of the same dark clouds scattered around town... that were dissipating just like the ones I saw in San Jose. We suspect that the report is a hoax. The witness has provided invalid contact information. PD

While traveling north on 680 highway by story and alumn rock, something rather bigger than a plane and weird shape appearing behind and within a cloud caught my eye enough for me to look back at it again but by seconds came right into clear observation out of the cloud for about 3 to 4 seconds incredible amazing clarity appeared by the perspective of the distance and heights this spacecraft must have been about at least of a small size town block ship resembling district 9 movie spaceship model but with an round structure On top and two dark columns resembling two big buildings protruding from the center down but underneath the massive and tall circling round structure was cluttered with other cluttered substructures. With an amazing short view clearance even saw the sun hitting the upper side which appeared to have supper heavy darkish iron like color massive structure with fringes for reenforcement. The sight Fractional short before cloaking as if it ! started make a cloud then absorbing the cloud into it self black spot complete cloaked.

Burbank, CA
I was driving on the 134 fwy Westbound coming up towards the Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA, overpass. As I was looking through the Studio side of Burbank, where the Disney building is, I saw the non-reflective deep black triangle hanging diagonally, further on over the 134, not as far as Cahuenga Blvd, but well beyond Pass Ave. In the sky it was at about an angle of 9 o'clock. It seemed to be stationary. It was rotating around its lengthwise axis, but remaining mostly diagonal. From my perception it was of a 2:5 ratio triangle at first, but it turned gradually into a diagonal black line as it rotated. I passed under a second freeway overpass (Pass Avenue, Burbank over the 134 fwy), so it was much further away than the half mile or so that I traveled, and also I have some memory of how much larger the craft became as I approached, which was not much. While I was coming up from under the Pass Ave overpass I saw what looked like the moon, in the western sky, very faint. I don't know if this was the moon, but I was thinking how strange and wispy it looked if it was. It's funny that when you see one unusual object, other objects become suspect even when they are not. I never heard any sound from the object, but I must have been pretty far away. When I first saw the object it was 3/5 the size of the sun in the sky, and it grew to about the size of the sun or bigger, apparently due to my getting closer; so it did get slightly larger. So assuming the object was not growing or shrinking this should indicate how big the actual craft is. This is why I didn't have the sense that it was giant, but it did seem to be larger than 30 feet long. Over the course of 45 seconds its angle changed such that it was getting quite thin, but I still could see it. In another 30 seconds it got too thin to see, and as this happened it appeared to begin to move northward, towards North Hollywood. Obama is speaking nearby today, and arrived at the Burbank Airport here, so this could have been some sort of military drone craft, but it would be interesting to hear about it, since it appeared to be quite a bit larger than a small plane at least. What was so unusual was how black and non-reflective it was, giving the impression of a very high tech finish. Also, it was quite strange the way it hung at such a weird diagonal angle, before rotating out of view. How long I saw it for is hard to say; but I'm guessing between 1 and 2 minutes.

Desert Hot Springs, CA
On March 10th, as I was driving into my driveway at home, I noticed a halo around the sun. I'd never seen a halo around the sun before, so I parked my car and walked onto the street to get a picture. I took the first picture and noticed that the shot was not centered. I then adjusted my stance to the left, just a bit, and took another picture. It was better, but it was still off center, so I walked backwards a few steps, and then stepped to the left just a bit, and took the last shot. After I took the shots, I went into my home and forgot about it. Last night, going through my pictures, I zoomed in on the halo and noticed a small green circle to the left of the halo. I asked my partner what he thought it was. He thought it was the moon, at first. I then looked at the next picture. It was in that one too, except the green circle was inside the halo. I looked at the next picture. Sure enough, there it was again, except this time, it had traveled to the other side of the sun with a purplish triangular glow around it. I took these three shots within seconds of each other. Whatever it was, it was traveling very fast. It was completely invisible to my naked eyes but my phone camera captured its movement. We suspect lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at a bright object, in this case, the Sun. PD

Madera Ranchos, CA
I drove North on HWY 41 and passed Valley Children's Hospital, when I noticed a pure white object which I assumed was a jet or plane. It was traveling west to east towards Millerton Lake - It was climbing & I couldn't see any wings. I took more notice & I still couldn't see any wings, cockpit, propeller, etc. Then it shot off at a high rate of speed - disappeared. I thought it was unusual as I couldn't see any wings. Next, I get up to Avenue 12 & I see the thing again - real close. Now its basically over me going west. I pulled over as I almost went into the opposite lane. I see this thing stop & hover over a pistachio grove. I wondered how it could just stop, but it did & then it flew off. I don' know if it was some farming drone or what, but I estimate it was 20 to 30 feet long and about 1,000 feet off the ground.

Los Angeles, CA
945 am. I was looking ENE towards Downtown LA from the Venice/Mar Vista area. The LAX flight pattern coming in goes directly over here, Venice/Centinela Blvds. For 5 minutes something non-aeronautically flying around, jumping positions in an instant flittering around, getting as bright as a diamond or laser beam at times. Flying exactly the altitude and flight path of LAX arrivals. I don't think it was a drone, the brightness intensity was incredible on a sunny bright morning, the only time I have seen anything move like that was the 1989/90 Area 51 horizon object video and Lake Mathews, CA, after ((name deleted)) gave a SSBE speech Santa Monica hinting to go there. I called FAA L.A., they seemed unconcerned, 'always some things unexplainable'. With the drone, terrorist concerns, something anomalous in the flight parh, I was hoping to be taken more seriously. Wish I had a camera at the time to youtube post, will always regret. I don't know if this is related, but 2 hours later near Santa Monica Airport, I witnessed 3 black helicopters and 2 black Osprey/VTOLs ((deleted--flying)) towards the coast

Turlock, CA
Tonight about 9:30 pm 3/9/15 , I stepped out on back patio to smoke and, as usual, I look around the stars. Over in the south west direction, I see a moderate flash of light that went out, followed by pause, then a dim light moving a short distance and going out, then a pause, then another dim light moving in opposite direction and going out, then pause, then another light heading away then going out..... all of this taking place within 1 minute and the area no larger then your fist held out ( obviously many miles away, est. 40 miles from my location ). I have been seeing this same activity periodically for the last 2 years in the same area and decided to relay this to you because recently I read another persons account of exactly the same type of phenomena which he couldn't explain. Up until I read his account I simply wrote it all off as distant airlines or satellites criss crossing each others path in a short time, or even meteorites. I decided tonight to check Google Earth and draw a path from my location to the direction of seen light activity and noted there was an Observatory about 12 miles north west ( also several small airports SW) of the light phenomena ( Diablo Mountain Range ). I have no clue what this light activity is and I hesitate to call it ufo's ( as in alien craft ), but if you have people you know (or ufo researchers ) in that area of Morgan Hill California (or even San Joaquin Valley), perhaps they can keep an eye on the area of the sky just south of the Observatory for several months and verify this.... I'm sending an image from Google Earth to show location of activity ..... thank you

Huntington Beach, CA
Observed bright orange light descent from high altitude to approx 10K to 20K feet then separate into 2 orange lights. From the 2 orange lights, 2 other lights separated and hovered for several minutes around the center light. I could see a mass shape wobling. Then they all re-attached into one large redish orange light and ascended back into space - vanished. This was not an air plane or meteor. It was organized, suspended and fixed in one location at times and moved around. No noise. The other 2 witnesses were spooked by this experience. Reported to 911 during event. Voice recording.

Two very bright orange light orbs on the horizon off the coast of San Francisco. Both started to rise above the horizon, then touched the water again. One stayed stationary and became a small white light and the other moved very quickly to the north. Both are now changing shape and color.

Bright/teal blue/green hovering object that would light up brightly, and then dim. Object visibly moving at slow rate to south-east, but would frequently disappear and then suddenly reappear in different area of the sky. Very clearly visible against clear blue sky (no cloud cover at all) in broad afternoon daylight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roseville, CA
While taking my dog outside to relieve himself, I noticed a formation of three orbs appearing slightly above the rooftops of my condominiums at approximately 8:10pm Saturday, March 8th, 2015. At first, the orbs appeared as if hovering in perfect triangular proximity of each other for a few moments, before I ran upstairs to grab my wife and prove I wasn’t insane. By the time we ran back outside the bottom two orbs were gone and only the apexed craft was remaining. After a few minutes of watching it hover, it pulsated a few times before slowly shrinking and disappearing completely in the same place it had been. Amazed at what we had just witnessed, we remained transfixed and kept watching the sky, before another fireball orb rose before us again much lower in the sky, albeit without two other crafts accompanying it, and floated around much in the same manner as the crafts before but moved more, beginning to rise in a slow arch to the right and growing like ball of fire and then moving upwards to the same place the triangle had been before. Although it was hard to turn away I realized it was imperative to document the sighting so I managed to run back in our house to grab our camera and catch a few of the last moments of it on tape. This object, however brighter and slightly bigger, was almost dancing in the air gracefully just before pulsating a number of times and disappearing as the others did slowly as though almost shrinking out of existence. Each orb looked glowing orange like a ball of fire but quickly became a smaller more defined sphere of bright light-a shapeshifter of sort! s. On the video the shape appears to shift from pink to yellow however to the naked eye it appears completely orange or white. This was not the first time that I had seen something like this in my area, but it was the first time I was able to find somebody to witness my findings; leading me to believe that there might be more out there then we think.

Somis, CA
At approx. 7:32 pm in the evening on March 7th my daughter and I saw approx. 15 round orange objects falling from the sky slowly and systematically downward and to the left. We were on Los Angeles Ave also known as highway 118. I pulled over to try and figure out what I was seeing. When it was not easily identifiable, I moved towards them with curiosity to North Street in Somis, California. At that point they were right in front of us but I still could not identify what they were. As we got closer to them and they got lower in the sky the lowest light seem to turn white. By the time we got under them they all disappeared without a trace. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my lifetime and definitely nothing I could explain. It definitely was not planes nor gliders as I thought they may have been and they did not seem like meteoroids. When I got home I searched the internet to see if anyone had seen the same thing as us but perhaps it as too early and I did not find any search results, However what did come up is other reports outside this incident about orange orbs. The photos I saw on the previous sightings appear to be the same objects my daughter and I saw that evening returning home from dinner. Hopefully this information is helpful I was not sure who I should report this to so hopefully this is the correct site.

Lucerne Valley, CA
Lucerne Valley is a small desert community. One night our dog wanted to go outside so we took it outside and we noticed this bright light toward the north east that had many different colors to it, like rainbow colors. This object started moving toward southwest which would be heading toward our direction and it moved really fast then it abruptly stopped in the sky very fast. It continued having a lot of like rainbow colors which was kind of interesting. After about another minute or two this object flew very fast toward the north east and then just disappeared in under 1 second. Probably about 20 seconds later we could see helicopters flying over toward where we seen this object and to us all we could see was the lights from the helicopters and they flew around there for about 1 minute I'd say and then they left. I really don't think it was a plane, helicopter or a drone because of how this object moved really fast and abruptly stopped while the whole time flashing these really bright different rainbow type colors. I truly couldn't make out the shape because how high up it was and all the different colors. It could be possible it was some government testing because there's a huge military base not so far away called " Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms " Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Benicia, CA
Sitting on my back porch, me and 2 others saw three strange reddish lights in a triangle formation, moving in an odd way on the other side of the Carquienez straight, looking south from Benicia, CA. This is right in an area with heavy comercial air traffic. The lights disappeared 1 by 1. Right after the last one disappeared 2 jet fighters started circling the area. Time was around 21:00 on March 5, 2015.

San Ramon, CA
Our living room window face north where we have a clear view of Mt. Diablo. This particular evening, my daughter and I were home while my husband was at work teaching evening classes. While our daughter was doing her homework at the table, I was getting ready to close our blinds. I saw this white streak of light or something that caught my attention and it flew from left to right near the top of Mount Diablo from my vantage point. Having only been here since June of last summer, we were excited to be back in California from North Carolina. My hair stood on end because in my mind, I knew what I saw and while I was processing this, I didn't t want to believe this. I asked around and apparently found out that this area in the Central Valley/East Bay (San Ramon) area is known to be a hot spot for activity. This truly scares me because I'm so used to hearing/seeing this in the media but never did I expect to see what I had seen that evening. It truly scares me. I won't go near there as I know people hike the territory etc., when I drive into work every morning, to be honest, I'm scared to death of walking to my car because it's so dark and creepy here. It really is. For anyone that knows this area well, it is. I wish we had known this prior to moving here.

Loma Linda, CA
UFO SIGHTING ON Thursday March 5, 2015 driving on my way east on Benton road in Loma Linda California. The time was 1:00 p.m. At a stop sign we stopped on the red light, I looked up thru the front windshield and Saw these very very shiny lights. 5 of them. I thought maybe they were drowns. But never saw a drown so was not sure. My husband Looked and only saw one , I kept looking till the light turned green on the stop light. Down the road a short distance was another stop sign, and was red, so we stopped and waited, Again checking up in the sky. Again they were still visible and exceedingly bright. The signal change and we had to go forward, again another stop light, stopped and this time I looked out the side window of my car and the front window too. This all took about 1 to 1 ½ minutes. I could see that two fo them had some of them had a vapor trail. My husband said they were moving west ward. I was not sure by then as I had to keep driving. I am not sure what I saw. UFO’s or something else. But for sure I did see 5 of what ever they were. They were so bright one could not help but see them. We are awaiting a report from the witnesses, at the time of this posting. PD
