El Segundo, CA
At approximately 7:10 PM I had a sighting of an Invisible Silent Aircraft (UFO) over LAX on 15 Oct 2014. It had two white flashing lights (NO red lights like all other aircraft in area had) the distance of approx.. 300 ft. between them. I could compare it to the size of the 747 aircraft –which I could plainly see (with the airline paint color scheme too) - taking off beneath it. The flashing lights were at first just hovering over the airport runway (just west of the control tower) at a height of 1000 Ft, with the aircraft landing and taking off beneath it. I at first thought it was a couple of police or news helicopters there, until I saw that there was NO RED flashing lights that all aircraft are supposed to have. Then the lights started to slowly move; one behind the other; in a eastern direction to where Sepulveda Blvd. goes under the runway thru the tunnel. Then they moved in parallel to each other, and flew south over Sepulveda Blvd. at about! 100 ft. until it was near the intersection of Rosecrans. There was NO SOUND; there was NOTHING VISIBLE between the lights; but I could plainly see that the lights were fixed to a solid object. At that point it continued to slowly move; one light behind the other; in a eastern direction again until I could not distinguish it among the line of aircraft lined up to land at LAX.

Looked about a mile long and was in the sky above 29 Palms military base area. Was there for 20 minutes. Then gone. We have amended the time above, so it reflects a sighting in 2014, not 2015. PD

Palm Desert, CA
The light intensity was far brighter and larger than the top of the tram light. As bright as an incoming commercial jet liner that is descending and coming directly at you as they do from east to west where we live. This was 30 degree and up from the horizon, well over the top of mount San Gorgonio (sp?) to the north west. Over the mountains that direction sets Joshua Tree to the north and Edwards AFB and Mohave to the north west. I have seen missile launches at dusk from our location from Vandenburg, further to the west. This was my first UFO experience. I managed to get both my wife and adult son out to see it for the final 20-30 seconds to witness me.

Anderson, CA
On October 13, 2014, at around 3:30 P.M. I saw what looked like a white orb high in the sky moving slowly from East to West. There was no sound and no smoke. It's possible it was a balloon, but I could not tell because it was too high and moving into the Sun light.

San Jose, CA
My sister and I took our dogs out one last time for the night and while we were sitting there, I told her to look up at that bright stars...At that time (one am in the am) there were 3 far apart from each other almost triangle appearance. Then I noticed two of them were blinking red lights. I would say near and way high above the east hills in San Jose, CA. About 2 mins of watching these lights, I went and got the binoculars and I watched one of them and it was jumping around, moving high and coming back down. Then all of a sudden we hear coming up from behind us (right about where San Jose Airport is) a helicopter. He went over our heads and straight for the middle of the two bright lights. To our disbelief, he took his place in between these two bright red blinking lights and now there are 4 perfectly spaced bright stars blinking red. Right now as I'm writing this, a helicopter just flew over the house back towards San Jose Airport. All I can say is they must be doing some kind of training or exercise .... I saw on this site others from San Jose saying some of what I'm saying, so I think it might just be routine ... Thanks

I ran to the backyard to where my girlfriend was to show her. We watched it change directions, the swiftly move behind a house, out of our sight.

Los Angeles, CA
white sphere high in sky. Red spheres appear hovering around white sphere. Spheres would line up with each other in formation. Kind of faded in and out. After a while another white sphere flew across the sky at a lower altitude. All spheres emitted faint light. Could have been mistaken as stars but they were clearly within our atmosphere.

San Anselmo, CA
I was on top of one of the foothills of Mt. Tamalpais from 7:40 until 8:30 P.M. When I reached the top of this hill, I witnessed several bright yellow gold objects-the color of "fire burning in your fireplace hovering" above one of the hillsides to the southeast lighting up super bright then dimming down changing in shape and size looking somewhat triangular or diamond shaped. Ten minutes later, at 7:50 P.M., in as long as it takes to count from 1 to 18 I counted 18 lights-objects literally swarming through this entire area. This is the most objects I've ever seen all at once and they were hovering at treetop level, hovering above nearby hills, suspended over the S.F. Bay off in the distance, crisscrossing each others' paths, and nearly colliding into each other and hovering and approaching other objects to make triangular and rectangular formations in the sky etc. I don't think you can blame the Blue Angels for this because not one of these objects was making a sound. For a couple of minutes it looked like a total invasion until it thinned out a bit. I was wondering what would happen if an actual plane came through the area when all of a sudden at about 8:05 P.M. a plane came through from the northwest heading right through all this activity. The plane was flying about twice as high up as all these other objects and flew over a cluster of about 6 to 8 of these lights and 3 of these lights were forming a triangular shape above one of these hills near the water between San Quentin and Corte Madera area. I had binoculars and you could see the whole plane and hear it. In the 50 minutes of continuous sightings of these other silent objects I could not identify any specific shape except somewhat disc or oblong teardrop shape maybe diamond or triangular. I did see a couple of strobing red disc like objects but 90 percent of these objects look the same -bright yellowish gold orangish lights.

Santa Barbara, CA
I was on a sunset boat trip from Santa Barbara,. I looked up and saw a green flash/pulse streak across the sky, it was similar to seeing a shooting star but was rich in green colour. I am an airline pilot and have never seen such a phenomena before. Another guy on the boat witnessed it. Very strange, would love to hear some possible explanations, military test area? Pulse engine technology? Or a strange shooting star? Possible meteor? PD

While taking out the trash tonight at 8:30pm I noticed a single blue glowing light moving in the sky. No noise. Not sure of the distance from me. Seemed to move up and down and side to side and once it appeared to move toward me. The light went out a few times while I was watching it and then appeared again. From Springdale and Warner, it was in the Eastern sky. I have video on my smartphone. Just uploaded to youtube "ufo over huntington beach 11/9/2014". My roommate was at the neighborhood bar and said a couple other people saw it and videotaped it. I googled how to report ufo's and found your national .org site and figured I would post.

Clovis, CA
On an early Thursday evening of October 09, 2014, approximately 7:08pm. I was sitting on my porch, when I witnessed a bright orb directly over me, moving slowly on a north/northeast trajectory. I had my Canon VIXIA HF R50 camcorder with me and started to record the object. I recorded the object until it blinked out. After recording the object, I went inside to upload the video on my computer. When I started to watch the video in 1080p HD, you can see another smaller orb power up and leave the first larger orb. Clearer this shocked me because, I don't know of any craft that can do something like that. I am an amateur when it comes to recording so excuse the shakiness. The video is on Youtube under "Bright Orb over Clovis"!

San Francisco, CA
Standing on a roof garden in on top of a San Francisco apartment complex. First siting coming from South East area from where I was observing. Triangular vehicle look like it had just taken off from the top of the hill where there is no airport, no heliport no landing strip in the residential area. A second vehicle flew out from under the first triangular vehicle. All I could see is its blinking white light. Vehicles were traveling at different speeds. That caught my attention. I watched the triangular vehicle and the blinking light vehicle at the same time until they got too far apart. Then I alternated watching triangular vehicle first then blinking light vehicle second. I was listening for a recognizable flying vehicle sounds, but heard no sounds like a helicopter or airplane.

In back yard. Looked up saw pretty blue-white light, planet like object. Was about to tell husband to come and look at the super bright planet, when it took off. Hollered at husband "look, look" he saw it also. It flew off and disappeared into the tree tops. Looked around for it and didn't see it. Went into the house to get binoculars. Went into front yard. Saw a distant object flashing red and blue. Checked it with binoculars, circular object flashing red and blue but not solid colors more like flashes coming out the sides or maybe object spinning. Went back inside finally found camera, looked for it again and saw nothing.

There were three red orbs in a single line at about a 45 degree angle one further below and one to the right. They were solid bright red and the changed colors to white and blue and purple. They then disappeared. Airplanes then came over head and flew to where the orbs were.

Temple City/Arcadia, CA
On Wednesday evening, I decided to water my lawn in the backyard. I sat down in my chair, which faces East, as my two labs were tracking the stream of water from the water hose in right to left direction. I glaze up into the heavens and directly to my left, North East direction, I noticed two bright stars, at the moment that is what I thought I was witnessing. Distances is hard to estimate, but if I were to guess, I would have use my thumb to equate about an inch of separation between each. Immediately I thought, "Damn it reminds me of Orion's belt stars, except one is missing." As I reached for my cell phone to record what I was witnessing, the two objects began to disappear like the Phoenix Lights incident. I was shocked and called my brother to describe my experience. It's now two in the morning and I am heading outside again with quality and strong binoculars made by Steiner. Thank for this opportunity, something I will cherish and has made me more vigilant.

Windsor, CA
Pulsating light low on horizon in E/SE ~0330 PST. This was during peak viewing for the blood mood. Probably 30 degrees above the horizon. I had thought it might be sirius, but the object exhibited clear, very pronounced movement in all directions - moreso on the Y axis. I even tried a few exercises of placing a firmly planted piece of wood to block the image out and eliminate the possibility of the movement being an illusion/autokinesis - only to have it emerge on one side or the other several times. Observed also through binoculars and green-red-blue pulsation and movement was more defined. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

West Los Angeles, CA
At a little after 3:00 am on Wednesday 10/8/2014 I was watching the Lunar Eclipse with two coworkers at Kaiser in West Los Angeles, CA, when I noticed something in the Western sky. It was three lights in the shape of a triangle moving very fast from West to East. The lights were dim and in the shape of a triangle with mass in the middle. It was about the size of the fighter jet flying low about 1500 to 2000 ft. It moved in a straight line at a level altitude without any sound. The route it took was North of LAX and South of Santa Monica Airports and headed toward downtown LA. It was visible for about three seconds as we saw it fly from West to East. The lights moved at a constant speed and didn't trail off. There wasn't any smoke or vapor trails and was completely silent.

At precisely 20:20 hours, I looked up into the sky, and high in the night sky, I would say many miles up, I saw two objects of some sort, which were clearly distinguishable as being individual objects, simultaneously emit a pure white flash, and then move in tandem at speed in a N/w direction. I saw a single bright flash of light at a similar time and location about a month ago. ... I am 6o years old, with no time for games. ... These were not conventional aircraft.

We recorded video of it with a tripod and indeed it was moving. We saved the footage. We don't know where to share it. It's very weird. We are unsure of what it but answers would be appreciated. "Twinkling" star? PD

The large object appeared from behind trees in the distance (approx. over Eastside San Jose) and hovered for about a minute. It was moving South to North along the East foothills. It moved extremely slow and would stop and hover from 30 seconds to a couple minutes each time. Looking through binoculars - It was a teardrop on its side – round at front and pointed in back. It was illuminated in front half – I could see metallic reflection. The back end had red, blue/green, and white lights. There were other aircraft in the area that were clearly smaller as if they could fit inside this huge object. When they looked like they might be going towards it the large object would brighten and flash 3 large red lights in triangle formation. It travelled into my site and travelled out behind trees, poles and houses. It had to have come from Gilroy area (South) going North towards Oakland/San Francisco.

On the evening of October 5th, (I am not sure of the time as we had no clock) my wife and I saw a very bright light flare up, far brighter than any stars, Venus, or Jupiter, out of nowhere, due North of us. It remained quite bright for perhaps 30 seconds, then it dissipated, and disappeared. First thought was a star going nova, but probably not bright enough, or long enough, and just not likely at all. There are no stars in the position we saw this, also. I checked Vandenberg AFBs launch schedule and nothing was scheduled, also the directions of the launches from us is about 70 degrees to the west, so also quite unlikely. My best guess is that it was a meteorite/fireball with a trajectory of zero from our position, making it look absolutely motionless, coming, basically, directly at us. Other possibility might be a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit, which had not yet passed the terminator. We see a large number of strange things up here (mostly military) but I am at a bit of a loss on this one.

Woodland Hills/Topaga, CA
We were driving through Topanga Canyon from the ocean towards Woodland HIlls. We saw three stationary extremely bright lights in the sky, in a large triangular formation Seemed to be the same distance apart. They were cutting through a fairly dense fog. The point of the triangle was at the highest point, and were too high to be in the mountains., but rather appeared to be hovering above the mountains. When we came around a curve, they had disappeared. They seemed to be in the direction of Santa Clarita. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
