Bakersfield, CA
The night was clear, I saw the object without contact lens on so I used my phone to record at 10× magnification. The object stayed in the same area but at times I had to aim my phone over my head as the object moved, it quickly returned to the lower area several times.

Arroyo Grande, CA
A triangle of lights, flashing red and green. All lights in the triangle shape would flash red, then green, rather than some flash red then some flash green. I live near an airport so I see the airplanes landing normally, but this seemed different. There was no sound, and the shape/pattern of the lights was like an equidistant triangle, rather than lights on just the wings and tail that i am used to seeing with the commercial airplanes. Normally when something flies that low there is a sound, but in this case I could not hear anything. Perhaps it was bigger and flying higher? However the size was quite large, if it was flying high it must have been big.

I woke to hear a humming noise and thinking it was daytime and went to use the the restroom and realized that it was still night time I went back to my bedroom and saw that it was light outside my room I opened my curtain to see a reddish orange orb/sphere hovering right outside my window about the size of a basketball I closed the curtain real quickly and was scared my curtain wasn't all the way closed and the orb shined a beam of light thru the opening in the curtain and the light hit my wall and I could see a humanoid being in the light on my wall then I opened my curtain and the orb shot up into the sky at a very high rate of speed. All the dogs in the area were barking loudly after this event.

I was driving on the highway out of the blue on the sky appear a small fireball it get bigger. We were very impressed by the size. The object was very shining like the Sun. It change size gets bigger and get loose in the sky. The color was yellow then turn to orange. It was in one spot no trace. The movement was circular and it was very bright like a star or the Sun. The Object get back to be small in the same place and disappear. The size was very impressive bigger than a planet smaller than the moon.

Unsure if it was drones, balloons, birds, or other. Saw the same thing back in January, but couldn't record. This footage was taken by a neighbor yesterday and matches what I saw back in Jan.

La Jolla, CA
As I headed back north to UCSD campus, up Torrey Pines Road, I noticed high over a crane from the left side of my windshield, that there was an object in the distance with a crazy bright light. The object appeared to be traveling left to right. However, instead of continuing right, it came to a sudden halt, that I was able to see directly forward of my car. High over a building, the object suddenly vanished. I saw the object leave a bright beam of light directly down from where it was and it dropped directly down at what seemed like the speed of light. The object dropped and left a cylinder shaped beam of bright light in the distance for a split second. I called friends who I had just been hanging out with, who had seen the same thing from different locations. I also have a friend who has friends in Mexico, who claimed to see the same occurrence. This was the most inexplicable and supernatural occurrence I have ever experienced in my life. I know what I saw is what I saw. I need to speak with someone and figure out how we can find some evidence. I have text threads from the exact time of the occurrence (3:46) and called about 10 people right when it happened. I pulled over in utter shock and my body was covered with goosebumps. I have been in goosebumps the entire day and every time I think or talk about what I saw. I am so confident that what I saw was not something man-made. It was something that we can not even explain. As it moved across the sky, it did not have a definite shape but seemed to be bright. It was only one object, and it changed speeds once it came to a stop in the middle of the sky. When the object dropped, it’s speed was far too fast to see the object and all that was left was a bright cylinder beam of light. However, we were able to see the object clearer as it was traveling across the sky, prior to its sudden stop. Please call my number, 7608458143. This must be investigated. I had been having trouble figuring out how to file a report but am glad I have now been able to.

Palm desert, CA
We were in a B&B on Geronimo trail, and I was standing outside on a beautiful clear night, when I noticed two red vertical lights to my right, about a mile away. They were about two hundred feet apart, and seemed to be the front and back of something flying quietly, and slowly in a circular flight path. It kept going until it was out of sight.

Whittier, CA
I was driving northbound on the 605 freeway it was between Whittier and Montebello. It was in the evening between 7:00pm to 7:30pm. Traffic began to build up then to a complete standstill. Then all of a sudden 3or4 bright flashes of bright green hues like lightning without bolts coming from the ground not the sky. Then traffic begins to move as I drove more down there was a 3 car collision on the southbound 605 carpool lane no fire. Very weird thought bombs were being dropped.

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
We live approximately 1000ft above the Pacific on a hillside. We have a clear view from the coast to Catalina Island. My son called for me to come see what he described as "pepper flakes" crossing on or near the ocean. As we watched they began to ascend. First the frontmost, then the next, etc. They were not evenly spaced but were clearly on the same path mostly. They were not connected. They rose into the clouds until we could no longer see them. Took about 5 minutes. I assumed they were large drones or weather balloons, but I can't find anything that fits. I'd love to hear a reasonable explanation for what we saw. This was observed by myself, my 11 year old son, and my 15 year old daughter. The image is the area of the sighting but I didn't take a photo of the event, at the time not thinking it was unusual.

Tarzana (Los Angeles), CA
I only caught the tail end of the anomaly, as it flew down below the tree line about a quarter of a mile from me. The thing that brings me here today to report this is I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’m a big astronomy and space nerd. It was a massive blue/green meteorite type fireball that I would have to roughly judge to be five to ten feet in diameter. The tail of the fireball was very small. It was all very bright. I heard no light or sound when/if it landed or made impact. Nothing remarkable happened after for several minutes. It was too brief to capture a photo.

San Jose, CA
At approximately 7PM I witnessed what I believed to be a satellite when It suddenly stopped in place. I decided to watch for a while until I saw two more of the same size, shape, and color moving at the same speed very close to the first I saw. It is now 7:36PM and the first one I saw is currently still sitting in the same spot it's been since it stopped moving.

San Bernadino, CA
We were outside in our backyard and my sister spotted 20 lights in the sky. We realized quickly that they were moving kind of close together and they weren’t drones, planes or star link satellites. At the time there was lightning and some thunder, but even with lighting we were able to see the lights moving pretty low to the city of San Bernardino.

Lake Forest, CA
5 or 6 crafts changing formation constantly. Speed faster than any airplane. Maybe close to the speed of a shooting star. Except each craft was the shape of a mix of a disk and a toy top. Seemed to somewhat have something pointy on the top and bottom of the craft. Each craft had a yellow light. Moving behind the clouds during the rain. Note there was small amount of lightning from that direction. Did not hear thunder. Just saw a flash before and after sighting. Likely lightning from far away. The craft disappeared quickly behind the clouds. Saw for maybe around 5 seconds. Was on a run up the hill at the sports park. Possibly the only one to have seen them as far as I know. Altitude just above the clouds so maybe 3000 or 4000 feet up. As they moved the formation constantly bounced up and down forward and backward. As if it was a fast paced race.

westminster, CA
Well sitting on my back porch in westminster California looking south east just to the right of the moon that was coming up there was some kind of giant light in the cloud with about four other lights constantly circling into it, there was no light visible when the light passed through the blue part of the sky, the object in the clouds moved along with the clouds, it was not stationary coming from the ground, eventually the larger ball of light disappeared but there were still smaller lights moving in a pattern throughout the clouds

Diablo/Martinez, CA
As I was driving south on I-680 I noticed a teardrop shaped craft silver and shiny flying over Mt. Diablo mountain range. At first I thought it was a plane. As I approached the Highway 4 interchange the object was still there and I noticed it was silver with no wings. It appeared to slow down. After less than 1 minute it appeared to fly off to the west so fast I couldn’t see it, in a second it was gone. Just a note it’s Fleetweek here in The Bay Area. And the direction it flew was toward SF bay.

Corte Madera, CA
At 1235 hrs, I saw 6-7 metallic objects flying south, they appeared to be silver or metallic in material/color. They were in the shape of pointed ovals. The seemed to be flying really high and fast. They shimmered/twinkled almost like a star with a brief white aura surrounding them. The sound of military jets were heard and it should be noted that the Blue Angles US Navy flight team was within a 50 ish mile radius as it is/was fleet week for the San Francisco Bay Area
