Aptos, CA
Flashing star like object scene from upstairs bedroom window. In the sky. Moved in sporadic up down, side to side and diagonal directions. Speed would vary. I spotted it rising in sky over eucalyptus trees near Cabrillo College. I suspect it was in the Watsonville area, but don't know. The flashing star continued to rise in a 45 degree angle ( to the right ) for an hour. Stopping at times, but always with tiny ricochet movements that seemed random. At times fast and at times slow. Around 5:00 AM it completely stopped moving and flashing and stayed put. There were two tiny stars on each side that appeared dim. Husband woke up and saw the static bright star with two tiny dim stars. By that time there was no ricochet movement. I fell asleep.

Corte Madera, CA
I was standing on a hilltop looking to the east with a pair of Bushnell binoculars when my eyes come upon a luminous red disc or football shaped craft against a hill in Corte Madera which is basically on the south side of the Corte Madera Marina where a series of hills overlook San Francisco Bay and these hills also include Tiburon-Mill Valley area to the southeast. This craft was huge and a dark red almost like a dark cherry red. It was totally lit up and glowing. I could'nt really see any details except it was basically disc shaped and maybe 100 feet long and not very tall. It looked like 2 plates joined together. This object looked totally different than anything else I've seen lately and it looked like it was sitting on the west side of this hill on the grass. During my 5 to 10 minutes I watched this object it moved from right to left about 200 yards really slow like at a walking pace. Then it just seemed to disappear like a light switch turning off. There were several other craft in the immediate area but they were really low key and barely visible unless you had binoculars. There was no sound heard except for the crickets outside. This is the second time in 9 days I believe I've seen a landed craft in this same spot and the other night on 9-12-14 I just happened to be filming with a camcorder and captured a craft that changed color from orange to white and basically moved from right to left about 200 yards on this hill. It could be that it was flying or hovering in front of the hill but even that is basically impossible for a normal aircraft. These craft (with the exception of the red disc) all look the same. They look like an ice cream cone turned sideways so the white light or orangish light is on the left and there is a black pointed tail shape to the right. They look like craft seen on Area 51 footage that I've seen in amateur footage. There were other white and orange lights that joined this craft that I have on f! ilm on 9-12-14 and a second craft looks like it's sitting on t! he right corner on the top of this hill.Anyway this hill in Corte Madera has these huge objects that approach from the east and hover over the left corner of this hill like a lit up Christmas tree and then they go backwards and down on the S.F. Bay side of the hill and then either the same object or another identical object will do the exact same thing and sink down behind the hill. If you are standing up in the hills you can really notice this activity and I wish more people would notice this. Any doubts I had that these might be conventional aircraft seen at a distance were laid to rest one night in April of this year when I was directly involved in one of the most bizarre close encounters-landing-other worldly encounter that was so unbelievable I still can't believe it.

I was in my bedroom opening the window to let fresh air come inside the room, suddenly i noticed the presence of the big object outside my window. The size a little more bigger than a car. Didn't do any noise and was like trying to hide in the palms. But in the day i have seen it also white and dark objects. The object moves slow and disappears in seconds. I don't used to believe in this things and i have now nightmares, I talk to my neighbor and show her the same night about the strange lights in the sky and absolute this things are not regular planes. I will like to please the authorities to come around 10:30pm or 11:00pm at night to verify this objects that are flying so close of the houses and apartments.

I was sitting in my back yard when a friend of mine notice 8 lights in the sky they looked like stars but there were only eight so he didn't think they were so we kept an eye on them and they started off as white light then it started to turn to a light orange then started to disappear it was in the formation of two triangles right next to each other the points being the object/light with two lights in the middle between the two triangles so basically two dots with a triangle on each side of the dots....then about 10 or 15 minutes later they were gone with no trace of ever being there I know it wasn't just us because I walked to my front yard and my neighbor's across the street were looking at them as well....if there is any way I could find out what they were I would be very happy

Los Banos, CA
The 8 "objects" were high above the horizon in the western sky and were noticeable once the sun set below the horizon. What started out to be bright white in color eventually turned orange as the sun completed its setting. In effect, they "just appeared" in the sky (west-northwest direction from my position in Los Banos). The "objects" remained in the sky for about ten minutes changing color and dimming in intensity in the process. No time during the observation did the "objects" move in the sky. The "objects" were spread out in a wide "plus-like" formation. Small amount of clouds but no evening stars visible yet at the time of observation to confuse what was being observed.

Gustine, CA
6:50 pm, September 19th, 2014. My girlfriend and I, on route to San Francisco, stopped to use the Valero service station on Hwy 33 off Interstate 5. Upon exiting our vehicle we noticed the attendant and a customer looking up in the sky to the West. We looked up and noticed 8 objects at a high altitude fixed in the sky, like a constellation. There were no stars visible as it was still light out. The objects appeared to be angular in shape like an elongated hexagon. The attendant told us that they had been visible for about 20 minutes already. There was no sound audible. The objects did not move for the 30 or so minutes that we watched. I cannot accurately estimate the size of the objects but an airliner flew over at one point and the objects were higher and larger than the airliner. As the daylight diminished, the objects grew less visible leading me to conclude that they were not emitting their own light but were illuminated by the sun, reflecting the sun that was already over the horizon. The 8 objects were spread out over about 1/3 of the sky in front of us, 60 degrees high or so and about 60 degrees left to right. As we watched, there were many other witnesses coming and going as they stopped to gas up. As the sun continued to set, the objects became less and less visible until we could no longer see them. There was no way to tell if they were still there.

My Uncle and I were on way home from Las Vegas stopped in Tehachapi, CA, around 3-3:20 am. We parked car with engine running while we ate. And thats when we noticed bright lights hovering and moving oddly in the distance. We then wanted to record whatever it was, I placed my phone between windshield and dash and sphere shaped object began to come towards us at high rate and away. We didnt realize the car has been pulled towards sphere about 30 degrees and my uncle leaned on horn with out notice and we both jumped out of fear. The sound of the horn snapped us back into reality and we got out of there.

San Jose, CA
At about 6am, before the sun started to come up, I noticed a very bright orange light, like a fireball, traveling a different path from what airplanes usually take over my home. It traveled in a crooked line which made me think it may have been a military aircraft but suddenly the light just hovered in one spot, then retreated so quickly the light almost immediately faded. It actually began fading as I grabbed my phone to record it. While at its brightest, it looked like a beautiful star with spikes.

Anaheim, CA
On 09/16/2014, at 14:24 local time, in Anaheim, California, I had gone out onto my 2nd floor apartment balcony. Just after exiting the front entry door, I looked up to check for any wasp nests under the overhang from the roofline edge. At that moment, I immediately noticed an object hovering in the clear open sky, past the roof of the apartments, opposite my own. The object shape was sort of fuzzy and hard to make out, but it was silent, and flashed 3 red lights, then 3 white lights. The object looked close enough to have made a sound, if it had been a helicopter. The object very slowly floated off to my right (in an Easterly direction), and got gradually farther away, but I could still clearly see the alternating lights flashing, red then white, red then white... After about one minute of watching the object, a dragonfly insect flew close to where I stood on my balcony, and for a brief second distracted me from the object. When I looked back at where the object should have been, there was no lights or sign of the ufo anymore - as if it had 'blinked off' or simply just vanished. I watched the sky for half a minute more, but there was nothing at all to seen in the blue, above me.

Escondido, CA
I was just outside our house in Escondido at approximately 4:40am on the morning of 9/16/2014. My husband just went back inside for a minute. I was staring up at the sky, stargazing as I very often do. It's a treat when I get to see a meteorite or even a passing satellite. But this time... There were two very bright, but very high lights passing from East to West. I've seen many satellites passing in my life, and if I had to guess, they were many miles from each other, but within about 5 degrees from each other in my field of view. They looked like most satellites do when passing, a white to red/orange reflective light, but they were slightly brighter than other satellites I had observed. One following the other perfectly. Then, a few seconds after I saw them, they rotated about an axis and switched positions while still moving West, and continued on in perfectly swapped places. Then the new lead light continued on, while the new trailing light veered off South and disappeared. The leading light soon disappeared (faded) as I would expect of a satellite reentering the earth's shadow. All of this in the span of 15-20 seconds. My observation covered an arc of about 45 degrees from the time I noticed until the remaining light was not visible. I have observed many passing satellites, the space station, the old shuttles in my life. I am a smoker who is up late night and early morning and go outside and stare at the sky. I've never seen an event like this, and my main reaction was to repeatedly say out loud, "What is that?" And this was of course one of the few times I've walked outside without my phone on me, not that I think it would have recorded a viable video even if I had gotten to it in time.

Mount Shasta, CA
Sometime between 9/11/2014 and 9/27/2014, I was out in my back yard at the table with two friends. I looked up and became aware that the approaching “jet” in the N/S flight route, did not appear to have wings. So I said something to my friends, who seemed unimpressed.. and kept on talking. It was fairly high and I had time to go in the house and get my binoculars and camera. I looked through the binoculars and said, yep, no wings, and again tried to get my friends interested, to no avail. I then got the camera out and I had to zoom all the way out. Took a picture when it was closer and about to start going away. It was to the extreme east hand side of the regular N/S flight route. I don’t know why my friends would not get interested. I don’t know why I forgot the sighting until I was looking back through photos and came across it. Funny thing is, everything before it is date stamped, and everything except the one right next to it, is date stamped. There is a gap from 9/11 to 9/27. No lights, no windows, no writing, dark colored. Just came into sight, flew by, and out of sight. Total duration: 5 to 7 minutes? No sound. No other aircraft seen. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Hello, 19 Sep 2014 Yes I heard the C2C show this week and heard your report of a 3 ft UFO above the Boulevard near Disneyland. I saw a similar thing 10 miles away just 3 ft above my head and patio cover, around 2 ~ 3AM. I walked outside to investigate the racket of a very nearby helicopter. To my surprise there were THREE objects maneuvering within 20 ft of my patio cover in the dark with no perception of on board lights; just a ghostly fluorescence. All sorts of maneuvers that I couldn’t hear. After 2 minutes I became scared and ran back into my house. One object looked like a 3ft white fluorescent goodyear blimp, but without any markings or lights. It could perform complicated Spins both forwards, or backwards.

Azusa (East Fork), CA
Peter, you mentioned on Coast to Coast in the last few days someone seeing what seemed like (your words on c to c were better) very fast flashing strobe lights. This happened on 2 nights, one was the 19th or 26th of August and again in September, about 5 weeks later. While I did not see a saucer, it was strange that o could not locate what was creating the lighting effects. This is long but I am trying to get in the many details that were not the usual things I heard and saw almost every Tuesday night for the past 5 or 6 years that I have slept in my car by the river at East Fork, San Gabriel River, up from the city of Azusa, in Los Angeles County. The first years a lot of prospectors stayed there, but the last few years, most of the time I am completely alone. I have some Google Earth photos of the spot if you want them by email. This is a river fork off Hwy 39, where the highway runs along the top of a steep edge with paths down to the water in the national forest. I am so alone there most of the time the lst few years that, unless people have seen bears, I leave the car windows down and do not lock the doors or even display my forest pass. I park near a forest service rest room near the 4.96 mile marker on East Fork Road. The right side seats on my Honda CR-V go down flat to make a bed thatis very comfortable. I always leave the radio on low playing coast 2 coast, and I usually fall asleep part of the time, and miss some of the program, then later wake up and hear the parts I missed. I also an doing research on subjects related to Sitchin’s work, and I almost always have a book that I read if I wake up and can’t sleep, and I mark pages and sentences related to my work. I am so familiar with the noises, and often complete absence of any sounds at all, that any unusual noise wakes me up. Though people have reported UFO’s, the reports I have heard are not likely to relate to UFOs. I am quit familiar with UFO activity from being a volunteer at UFO and free energy conferences for over 20 years, and going on a lot of trips to spots considered active that few people go to. Several weeks before the first event, two men parked their trailer across the road from where I camp, and leave it to go prospecting in the evenings and during the night. They leave one dollar store yard light stuck in the ground. Sometimes a truck was left hitched, other times just the trailer was there. Either way from where I park, it often looked like there was some light escaping from a covered window in front of the trailer. The steep rock faces on both sides of the river seem to be covered with foliage, but when the moon is up the rock face reflects some spots that seem very bright, and you have to know the area to be sure if it is moon or headlights coming down the road to up on a higher road that winds up to connect with other roads. The slope down the rock face to the river level is so steep and the rocks so solid that you never hear the flow of the river on top by the highway. You have to get out of the car and walk right to the edge to hear anything at all and the water level is so low this summer that you can hardly find a place deep enough to get your body all wet. I was in Army Intelligence, and pay attention to out of place things, and for some reason when I wake at night I always want to a analyze what woke me, and if there are lights, what the source of them is. Where I put the radio on the dash it sometimes needs to be angled to eliminate a buzz, but most of the time the reception is crystal clear. It was the week before and the week after the first incident, that there was radio interference different from any I had ever heard. I changed to a different radio and still heard it. The night I think was September 14th, the radio was fine. Before I went to sleep, I thought I saw a sort of very fast strobe light in the sky to the west, but it was so fast and the sky was still somewhat bright, so I could not be sure if I had seen it or my eyes were playing tricks on me. It was an extremely quiet night and I woke up later, turning over in bed, and I thought I saw the light again, this time from someplace by the drivers side back fender. You know when you have a light source you look at and then away, and you see a dark outline of the object, drifting away in a different place? And sometimes there are several overlapped images fanning out? Well each time I saw the faint light strobes I saw 30-50 overlapping thin lines like part of a Japanese fan, with the lines going to someplace out of the frame where you assumed they were connected with a pin so the fan could fan out. But I could never see the bottom half of the fan segments, and it would move around! fast. Sometimes I did not hear the sound even though there was no sound at all outside. I would turn off the radio for a few minutes so I could hear carefully. That first night, after the 4th or 5th time I woke to this, I began to think that the sound was caused by a source that reflected off of the metal parts of the trailer or other metal objects such as the large iron trash cans. And by then I was certain that there was a bluish tint to the strobing lights, as faintly as I could see them. It was the fact that the light always seemed bluish, when nothing else ever did, that made me think it was something real. The second night I saw and heard this, was about 5-8 weeks later when I came out of sleep and realized that I was hearing a very low sound of electricity fizzling, like signs neon signs do in cheap horror movies, or arc welding when sparks fly around. I realized then that the low sound was what woke me up, but if I was awake I saw them when there was no sound or it was too low to hear. The truck was not parked by the trailer, but I was almost certain I saw some pale blue light coming through a crack in that window. Later when I looked over there, I was sure I still saw bluish light, but could not hear any sound. I decided that the men must be inside the trailer working with some electrical device, and that bluish light was coming out the window where blinds did not meet exactly right. Late the next morning they arrived in the truck, so they had not been there during the night. That night when I used the restroom I did not see the faint strobe light or hear the sound. But I did wake up a few times and hear the sound and see the faint light, and tried to pinpoint the direction of the sound, thinking that would help to figure out the light source. I was not able to do it. The guy with the trailer had told me the week before that they (forest service or sheriffs?) told him he had to move it to the north fork for 14 days, then he could come back. But he never did come back, and neither did anyone else. Many of the guys up there had no place to go, and the place the guy said he planned to move to, had a nightly use fee that the old prospectors could not pay. Also, it is general knowledge that there is no gold on north fork, and the river is really far from the fee camp. Usually when the old guys were told to get out, they hiked past the paved road to three mile camp or just hid out in the camping places down by the river that were invisible to anyone looking from the top. If they had done this, I would have seen them walking down the road at night to go down to Williams where they had friends at the trailer park. I think it was the next week that there was the bad buzz from the radio, and I became alarmed, which I almost never do. When they tell people to leave, there is just no one there when I arrive Tuesday nights, and thinking everyone is gone, they do not drive by to check, also, it is the sheriffs that do this, when they do not have jurisdiction on forest land. Well this is a lot to read, but I want to stress again that it was it was your description of the lights that made me think i should report this. There have been odd things going on at East Fork for a long time, but I never as

Dana Point, CA
My boyfriend and I were sitting on our balcony at a hotel in Dana Point. We were facing Northwest when we noticed a red glowing light rising up. I have witnessed these things many times and I was excited to have him witness it as well. He is NOT a believer. He always tries o debunk what I see by saying it was Chinese lanterns or a plane. He is now baffled by it, but I know for a fact we witness a red fireball. It was bright red. We were first noticed the fireball when it was the size of a tiny red star. Then all of a sudden It grew bigger and then smaller as it was rising. This thing was huge in the distance. It grew to the size of a basketball. Then would reduce to the size of star all while glowing and floating. Then after about a minute, it shrank again and completely vanish. My boyfriend of course was in disbelief trying to debunk it, but what sealed the deal was the helicopter to followed that circled for a good 15 minutes after it disappe! ared. NOTE: We have not heard or seen one helicopter all night or ll day for that matter.

Anaheim, CA
On Saturday September 13, 2014, at 11:15 PM on the 1500 block of West Embassy Street in Anaheim California 92802 (the cross street is Loara 1 block south of Lincoln Avenue). I observed the following: In the middle of the street (Embassy Avenue) I saw an egg shaped object floating 2-3 feet off the ground. The object was about 2 ½ feet across and it was approximately 20 feet away from me. It was a dark blue like an India ink blue and it blended into the night and the black asphalt. The only illumination was from a street light. I first thought it might have been a helium balloon that had drifted from Disneyland. Disneyland is about 2 miles away and sometimes helium balloons float away and they land in the area. Upon close inspection it had no string attached to it and it stayed in the same position. It never touched the ground. As I approached the object I could see that the “balloon” had a thin semi-transparent membrane covering it. Inside the object I could see a faint rose/pink colored light that was the size of a football and the light slowly pulsated. It was a faint light. Not bright. And it was inside the object. The object was smooth and it looked like latex. Not metallic. It had no antenna, fins nor propeller. And it had no exterior lights. As I walked towards the object it remained in place about 3 feet off the ground. My first impression was that it may be a balloon, drone or remote controlled object. But it made no sound. The object was totally silent. It seemed peaceful and tranquil. Not threatening. As I walked toward it (I did not run or make any fast moves), I thought I would try to capture it but when I got within about 2 feet from the object it slowly rose out of my reach straight up into the night sky. It banked to the north and went over the buildings across the street and out of sight. Its motion was smooth and not fast. I never touched it. I did not experience any adverse reaction from it. In fact it seemed inviting and almost playful. I regret I did not have a camera with me to photograph it. I was alone and no one else to my knowledge saw the object.
