Sacramento, CA
First group came in a pair, glowing orange fireball shaped objects, flying in a pair then split off. The orange light seemed to pulse from the objects but not any engine sound at all. The second fireball was by itself and proceeded in the same direction heading NE towards McClellan airbase. Hard to judge altitude and speed. The 3rd group was another pair of the same objects.

Watched three amber dots being chased by one craft followed by a second one. The three amber dots were in a triangle shape and moved across the western sky headed to the south. The three amber dots were in a triangle shape and pulsating. As the dots moved south one dot broke off and sped away at a remarkable speed. They eventually left our sight as they disappeared behind a building. We suspect that this may not be a serious-minded report. Contact information for witness is bogus. PD

Oceanside, CA
On 7-26-14, my son and I were coming home from an outing. It was around 10:00 PM. As we were coming down our road we noticed in the sky 4 orange colored floating orbs grouped in twos. They were fairly close to each other. They looked as though they were barely moving. They were not at all like airplanes. There were no flashing lights. It was almost as if they were drifting very slowly in the sky. Within a few minutes we noticed two more of them come up on the right side like they were trying to catch up. After they were all together they started to fade out one by one until they all disappeared. These orbs were seen out above the ocean near Oceanside. I would say the sky was somewhat cloudy but the orbs were very visible . It was something we had never seen before so we had to pull off to the side of the road so we could take it all in. We wondered if anyone else had witnessed this as well. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I thought it was a plane but it stopped in the sky for a few seconds and continued to move again. It moved rather quickly and disappeared eventually. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Temecula, CA
At about 9:45 p.m., I went out front of my house to have a cigarette. I looked north towards my neighbor's house and noticed bright orange-rust colored lights, possibly over Corona, California. I wear glasses to correct my vision so I took off my glasses to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion on my lenses. The lights were still there. I put my glasses back on and watched as 3 orange lights danced around what looked like a commercial airliner. I could tell it was an airliner because of the red and white strobe lights and the slow movement of the craft. They looked almost like they were dog-fighting with the airliner. They were pulling some weird maneuvers around this airliner--for instance, going very very fast and then suddenly stopping near the airliner, then moving very fast past the airliner, then stopping suddenly again and repeating the process. The airliner looked like it made some course corrections, as if it was affected by the lights. Then one of the rust-colored lights became more dim, and then dissipated, like it just dissolved into nothing. The 2 remaining lights danced around as the airliner kept its original course heading approximately south-south east. After a few more seconds of making very quick, very minute course corrections now behind the airliner, they too both dissipated into nothingness one after another. I looked around my suburban neighborhood and noticed nobody was outside and nobody else saw this amazing dance in the sky. I then lit my cigarette and watched the sky waiting for more but saw only stars and more planes, but they were south of my location and weren't displaying any weird movements. I went inside and described my experience to my wife whom I abruptly woke up.

Auburn, CA
My wife and I were watching the glow of flames from the sand fire. We live at 1300 feet in South Auburn. While watching the glow from the fire, we witnessed a Constellation in the form of a triangle, hovering just to the north of the main fire. After observing it for a short period of time, the lights one by one disappeared. We checked the sky 2 nights in at the same time. No triangles appeared; skies were clear

Los Angeles, CA
there was a steady blink in the night sky. Thought it was aircraft a few days ago, third night (not consecutively) seeing the same even re-occurring in various places in the night sky. Tonight, it remained in the same spot. A very bright, white light. Slow and steady blink. No movement. White only. Blinks lasted about a second in between few minutes variables. If I see a 4th night, I will pay keener attention to timing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Monterey, CA
My friend called me outside and we could see a round object hovering in the sky. It was green and red. There was no sound, no trail, no glow around it like a street or car light, no blinking lights... it hovered for about six or seven minutes then started moving away to the left and disappeared. Being prior service military, I know it was not a radio controlled helicopter... I've never seen anything like this… We spoke with both witnesses, husband and wife, and they seemed to us to be quite serious-minded and sincere in their decription of the sighting. PD

I was in the back yard of my house with my friend. I saw something red on the sky and I told to my friend, "Look, Marte is right there." ((sic. Mars??)) She said " is Venus is not Marte". and than we saw the red moving really slow, and we tough that it was a airplane. But the lights were not flashing like airplane so we keep watching the red ball and after seconds the red ball disappear.

Jamul, CA
Over the mountains in Jamul, I saw what appeared to be a shooting star, only it was bright orange, and then turned into a fireball and exploded then totally disappeared. There was no sound. It lasted maybe 3 seconds this occured around 11:13 pm on 7-21-14. Then seconds later, to the right of where the fireball was, I saw what appeared to be a circular object just hovering. It was bright white light with red on the left side and blue on the right side, the flashing bright white light in the middle was pulsating. It hovered for at least a minute then suddenly shot across the sky so fast I barely saw it move, it was HERE then THERE, then it disappeared. This occured around 11:15 pm on 7-21-14.

One large round bright white/blueish light appeared and faded slowly. Seconds later it appeared dimmer and flew quickly out of sight with a bit of a tail.

Laguna Beach, CA
We were sitting on our third floor patio which faces Newport Coast Drive in Newport Coast, California, and this bright light appeared to shoot up into the sky over the ocean (we guessed Laguna Beach area) and it would drop rapidly down. Saw red colors on it, and got binoculars and saw many colors like a prism. The light would shoot straight up and then travel a little and shoot down rapidly again. Guessed airplane, helicopter, but it was too quick to be either..

Palm Springs, CA
My son and I were sitting by the pool at our apartment in Palm Springs, CA, at approximately 1940 hours on 07/19/2014. We saw reddish orange teardrop objects in the Southern sky towards Indian Canyon. They appeared to rise from the bottom of the hills and rise to the top. At first they appeared to be moving towards us as they were rising and then they just kind of disappeared. The first ones we saw there were about 5 of them and then we saw 3 more of them and then 2 more and no more after that. They just seemed to move in a almost straight up and then disappear. The first five we saw rose up really high and then disappeared.

Cottonwood, CA
Well, I was playing music with one of my close friends. The night was winding down it was about 3am. I step outside of my trailer... I look up and noticed something not right in the sky. To my first glance, it looked like the stars were moving. Not like shooting stars, but in strange patterns. Nothing like I had ever seen before. I run inside to get my friend and he notices it to. We observe that the “stars” we see respond to this cloaked ship of ever-changing size and shape. My friend, not as freaked out about this, went to bed because he had work in the morning. I stay out there for 3 more hours watching. Some came very close to me. The three hours I was out there, it felt like 15 minutes. Nothing like I have ever seen.

San Rafael, CA
Not long after sunset, I observed three glowing objects moving right to left slowly across the horizon. They were in the sky slightly south of Mount Tamalpais. This view includes a lot of air traffic flying north or south to Bay Area airports 24/7. The " lights" were so unusual I told several neighbors to "come see something unusual". I was delighted when they began to make remarks like that without any prompting. After three minutes, two of the lights rose out of sight. Then two more appeared from the original area and traveled horizontally as well. The third one disappeared and it seemed to split at the last moment. Finally, the fourth and fifth ones followed and I am certain some kind of split took place and they vanished after rising 30-45 degrees.

Santa Ana, CA
Dawn had been breaking and I had been looking over to the horizon only to notice an aircraft roaming around. I believed that it was a mere helicopter in patrol but it begun to elevate and move towards our general direction. The Lights emitted were Red and Blue, which did not flash simultaneously in accordance to the common pattern regular to military/Police patrol aircrafts. The red lights flashed three times and then the blue light in the center flashes along with it. Then it changed to multiple red flashes and some minimal blue flashing. I called my neighbor over to look and we immediately pause. The Aircraft flew above us. My neighbor and I were perplexed because it was above us and it became clear to us what it is. I would say it was a couple hundred feet or less, but then the most astonishing event occurs. The lights emitted from the aircraft revealed its definite shape, which appeared to look like a saucer with an extruded block in the center of it. The sides of the saucer had strips of red lights. Three of them exactly in both sides with one blue strip of light mixed with white in the center of the extruded block. The sound of the turbulence had affected the neighborhood dogs which caused them to bark loudly. As it sped to the other end of the street it made a sharp turn back and I immediately grabbed my ladder and I recorded the aircraft returning. From the distance the sound of the turbulence had been very loud for the distance. Luckily I managed to record enough to approve of sighting. My witness is my neighbor and he had been surprised as well, unfortunately the focus on my camera had been lacking, explaining the difficulty in keeping range and quality. I apologize if the video had been shaking around, I was nervous about the situation and I was not sure how to adapt to it. I then called the hotline and I had been advised to write a report as shown, and to attach a video along with it.

It was a normal, fairly warm night. My mother had just gone to bed and i was outside in my front yard, listening to some music coming from my room, waiting for some of my friends to arrive. I was looking up at the stars as i tend to do to clear my head, making up constellations and watching for "shooting stars", when all of a sudden i saw what appeared to be a star moving! There was no trail of light, there were no flashing lights like there are on planes, it just looked like a star got bored and went for a walk across the sky! It was going faster than any normal cargo plane I've seen at night, but slow enough for my eyes to easily keep up with it. It was flying in a straight line, from left to right, no arc at all. I continued to watch it until it suddenly vanished. It didn't speed up or flash away, it just disappeared like a magic trick. I even looked around to see if i could find any other planes in the sky, and when i did, the obvious plane was moving considerably slower than the object and you could see the flashing lights clearly. I know it was not a plane, and i know it was not a "shooting star". I honestly have no idea what exactly I was looking at, but I do believe it was a UFO.

Cathedral City, CA
July 12, 2014, 10:05pm, Location: Cathedral City, CA, (near Palm Springs) I witnessed a bright bluish-white light traveling from the NE to the SW across the night sky tonight. The direction was strange because there are no planes or anything that I’ve ever saw travel in that direction. It was very high up, but I don’t believe it was in space, because the light was rather large, and a little bigger and definitely much brighter than any airplane. When the light/object was almost directly over my head, the light suddenly went out. I didn’t see anything anymore. It was a clear night tonight, so I should have been able to see something moving, but nothing – it just vanished! I do see strange stuff out here in the desert once in a while, when I go out at night, but most of it I never report.

San Diego, CA
To Whom It May Concern, A friend and I were driving towards the beach in San Diego on Friday the 11th of July, 2014. I was driving over a bridge when I saw something strange in the sky about 1 to 2 miles away towards the beach. I looked at it for about 30 seconds, while trying to show my friend what I was looking at. He couldn't see what I was seeing: a round orb flouting in the sky. It wasn't anything recognizable, i.e. plane, helicopter or drone. I told my friend to take some pictures with his I-phone but he couldn't see what I was talking about so I told him to steer the car while I took the pictures. I was able to get two pictures through my windshield and one with the window on the driver's side rolled down. There wasn't a place to pull over and when I finally could pull over the object had disappeared.
