Saw 2 solid red non blinking lights over Newport/Irvine tonight 9/23/22 at 10:59pm the lights drew together at a rapid pace the top red light turned off then on and attached itself to 2nd Red light. Both drifted down then both disappeared. These were unlike airplanes that have 1 steady white light with a second different blinking light. These are very bright Solid Red unblinking lights. My neighbors were out looking at the stars and said they saw it too. I said the 2 solid red lights were as bright as that star and I pointed and they said,”That’s Venus”.

A bright yellow/white light with fine "webs" (like spider web strings) attached in all directions, forming a sphere. It caught my attention because the sky is otherwise dark and I could see it from my window. It was too bright to be a star, so I thought it must be a reflection in the window of something, but no, when I opened the window and peeked through, it was there hovering in front/above my neighbours house. It slowly moved, so slowly you could barely see to move but it came closer to me and then moved further away again, now my view is blocked by my neighbours balcony. The picture I have looks nothing like it actually looks like at all. I had a crystal clear view in plain sight.

I was walking my dog when I look into the sky and see a blue orb with a bright aura fly over head at the speed of a fighter jet maybe even faster. That's when I was like wow what can that be till I looked for it again and it was completely paused in the sky, looked exactly like a star till it moved again from left to right than took an immediate stop again and paused for a good 2 minutes. Than it kept doing doing the same thing till 2 planes flew over head and it completely vanished. I was in complete shock so waited outside for 30-40 mins till I saw it dart up from the ground exactly like a shooting star but this time it was more white and took and immediate stop and stayed there for about 50 secs and began to move thru the sky in a zig zag manner but make immediate stops at pause. Till planes came by again and it disappeared again.

I was outside covering my squash for the night. When I walked back to my house I saw what looked like a large rectangle in the sky. It was very bright and looked orange/white. We live in a very rural area and have a good view of stars at night. I looked at it for awhile then called my husband outside to look at it. He was born and raised here and is very familiar with the sky's around here. He said he had never seen anything like it before. We watched it for awhile and he went in because it was cold. I stayed outside and went in about 10 min later. I took pictures on my phone. When I looked at them the object looked round.

Orb seems to illuminate as it approaches built in camera IR light. Original Ring Cam footage has sound. We listened with Bose speakers turned up to full volume, white noise in video changes after orb takes off. Let me know if you want me to send link to original Ring Can footage. When seen in slow motion, it doesn't look like an insect.

The objects appeared to materialize out of nowhere, no vapor trails, no descent, they appeared to fade into view and later fade out again with little to no directional movement. Most appeared as small white circular or possibly squarish objects clearly visible in the clear sky. 10 of these were in an irregular line across the sky that looked like the Big Dipper, and 5 were off to the right in a group with one object in the middle surrounded by 4 others. They were at approximately at 2:00 in the eastern sky relative to our location. The one object in the center of the four appeared to have some red and silver colors. We grabbed binoculars and that object appeared to be oblong but oriented vertically. It appeared to have very short triangular shaped extensions on either side of the object, but did not look like wings, more like part of the overall shape of the object. They appeared for about 15 minutes and they just faded away, no obvious movement to either side or up/down.

On the morning of 9/21/22 at approximately 305am I was observing the night sky constellations directly above my location. I then observed a Delta shaped...brown colored UFO...at an altitude of 70-8000 ft above ground level....heading East at a high rate of speed. The object had no lights and no sound. It was obvious to me that someone or something was flying it due to it's speed(velocity)and heading. I work as a Security Professional in the Los Angeles area.

I am a little freaked out because it is actually the third time I have seen this. The first time I saw this was on Sept. 9, 2022 and reported it to this website. The second time I saw it was just a single fast moving light glow at 10:10 moving it the same trajectory and in the same area of the sky. So I started watching when I could and when the sky was clear around the same time of night. And just like the night of the 9th, tonight at exactly 10:07 I saw an identical pair of lights that moved in exactly the same way. There were two cool-colored soft glows traveling from the southeast to the northwest parallel to the coastline. They travelled one behind the other at a high altitude and lasted about 3 seconds and then faded away. They covered approximately 30 degrees of view during their travel and were separated from each other by about 5 degrees. They were moving far faster than a satellite and they didn't look like meteorites. I am going to continue my routine of watching around 10:00 to see if the pattern continues and I encourage others to do the same.

I was sitting outside when I looked to my left to see two big lights hovering in the sky above what seems to be the ocean, I looked away for a few moments and looked back to see them gone. I look to my left again in 5 minutes and they’re back and bigger, they dim again and one disappears and the top one breaks into 5 lights and was spreading apart and disappeared and formed one big light and is dimming and coming back continuously every 5-10 minutes.

My boyfriend and I were looking up at the stars while out on the balcony, when we see this object appear from behind a tall building. It was similar to the shape of a ladder that was all lit up. Then one by one in no particular order the squares in the ladder started to dim away until the last one was out, then a sprinkle of twinkling white and green lights and then it's gone.

On September 19, 2022 I went in my backyard around 6:50 pm and I happened to look up in sky and saw 2 white/silver circular objects side by side ascending upwards. They were very high (airplane flying altitude) and they moved in sync with each other. They seemed to move at a steady pace together and they were pretty close together. I ran inside my house to get my phone to try to get some photos because I couldn’t grasp what they could be. I tried to take a video but I couldn’t find the objects in the frame as they were too small. They were still ascending and then in a split second the one on the right shot off horizontally to the right and disappeared. It happened so fast and it was just gone with no trail. The object that was on the left kept ascending upwards, almost to the clouds so I zoomed my phone camera all the way and pointed in the general direction of the object and took a few shots. The first photo was at 6:53 pm. The object kept going higher and straight up till I couldn’t see it anymore.

It started around 12:30am when my ring camera motion sensors alerted me. I went outside and i didnt see anything so i went back to bed. Then about 1 hour later i woke up to my ring camera again notifying me, so i went outside again and there was nothing, so i cleaned the camera thinking there was something on it triggering the camera. I went back inside after cleaning the camera and was falling asleep when the camera alerted me again. So i got up quick to look out the window to see if anyone was back there but there was no one. This time i waited outside on the side of my house thinking it was a intruder trying to break into my house. I wait about 20 minutes but there was nothing so I went back to bed. In the morning i checked the recording that the ring camera had captured and i was amazed at what i had seen. On the recording the seems to be a oval shape object moving around going in and out of view of the camera. There is also a very dim light of some sort coming from the bottome of the object. On one of the recording there is a sound thats hard to describe. I have multiple recordings of the object. The recording start around 12:30am and stops around 4:30am.

Neenach (Northern, Los Angeles County), CA
time and date were approximate to +- a few years, i could hear signifigant sound although not sustained, what i saw was from a clear vantage point across the line of sight and traveling from, west tp east. Aircraft speeding at a singular altituide near base of what i will call Tehachapie from Gorman in the west and towards the 14 Freeway going eastward. im guessing i watched the craft travelmore than 20 miles of horizontal distance my vantage point was at least 25 miles south from the described event and close to the 138 freway in the area known as Neenach. the most remarkable thing is that it was as if at some point the aircraft went into an opening within the lower portion off this mountain,,, a disporportionatley abrupt disaperance of the aircraft at what apeared to be a secret door opening and than closing near relative middle or lower elevation along the hill/mountain range {i presume it is in Kern County} it was posibly tandem low flying jetcraft,,,, but they disssapeared suddenlly at high speed in broad daylingt. memory wants to tell me that i saw the mountainside swallow the fast moving jet craft. Logicaly these were of a military jetcraft in nature and capability.

The orb was moving slowly while ejecting other orbs that were barely visible. At one point the sphere jumps closer to me which you can see on the video to see the elections you have to zoom and look carefully this is third time I've seen orbs/spheres twice in the area I am now describing and once at home.

Just bought grocery and it was a quiet night with the bright jupiter on the east, so I scan above to check if Saturn is somewhere near and I saw two stars, but then one star started moving, and I grab my phone and starts recording, as i am recording I see the lights moving slowly and silently and then took off in hyperspeed, no sound. upon reviewing my recorded video, it turns out that one light is part of the other 2 dimly lit light that formed a triangle.

I was in awe for a good few minutes after realizing this was not normal. It was outside I looked up in the slight Southeastern direction and noticed what couldn’t have been stars, nor typical aircraft, nor starlink clusters… coming from varying directions they appeared to all come near a central area near the same couple minute window. Some were traveling in groups of 2-3… 7+ in total less than 12 for certain. It was hard to tell if some of the lights may have stemmed off from others and then traveled in different directions. It did almost seem like some lights were chasing others (or traveling in some sort of formation of 3-5, while others went other routes individually.
