Tehachapi, CA
I stepped outside at 330 am to let the dogs go outside. I saw a very bright airplane with one red light, with blue and green and white flashing lights. It wasn't moving. As I was staring at it the v-shaped thing kind of wobbled from side to side really fast as if to get my attention. It was then that I realized what it was. And that's when I saw the rest of them. There had to be hundreds of them spread out among the stars. They were all the same v shape and flashing. They were everywhere I looked. Some were closer or further away or bigger or smaller than each other. I was frightened but had to do ranch chores because I had to be at work very early that day. I still see them every day and night. They aren't as close as they were the first day but they are still visible. I live up high at 5500 feet with no street or city lights around me at all.

Los Gatos, CA
Watched a silent bright white tic-tak fly silently by at high-speed, possibly 2,000 knots, heading approximately 200° I would estimate the altitude to be 6,000 agl. The skies at the time were clear. Visibility about 50 miles. About the size of a small plane. I’m a 10,000 hour+ commercial pilot and know this wasn’t a shooting star, known military jet, commercial drone or optical illusion. The craft had well defined borders. No sonic boom.

September 6, 2022 · 7:42 PM · DIAMOND
Santa Moinca, CA
I was outside laying down looking up to the sky. I saw many commercial airlines and a few smaller planes on their flight path of North to South. The lower ones coming into LAX. I noticed their size. Coming from the east to the west over the ocean I saw 4 white lights in the shape of a diamond directly above me. It appeared to be a bit larger than the commercial airlines but seemed so much higher up. It expanded its shape but retaining the diamond but shifted a bit then contracted back and flew towards the ocean. It was moving much faster than any plane I had seen and much faster than any plane is capable of flying. When I first saw it I instantly knew it was different than anything I had ever seen before. And I commented "What in the world is that?" My friend who could not see it said from what I described he felt it was a ufo. He had a sighting a few years back but it was just one light and its behavior was unlike any flying object of earth origin.

Santa Monica, CA
I woke up at 4:30 and was drawn to my balcony. I looked at the night sky and saw the object. I stared at it for a while trying to figure out what it was. I finally grabbed my phone and took photos and videos of it. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was hovering for a long time. It was spinning and the lights kept changing. The lights were unusual and would burst occasionally. The camera movements are mine as I was trying to hold still to capture the object best I could. I finally went back to bed even though it was still there. One of the photos is time lapse.

Rocklin, CA
I was outside at 2:30 AM September 6th 2022.. At approximately 2:35 AM. Looking north I witnessed What first looked like a detailed partial oval shaped object. It continuted to move from N to my position South.. The object stopped and slowly Started to turn east, The oval shaped slowly drifted like fog into a long narrow rectangle, it was well defined with a bluish white hue that encircled the entire rectangle, the bottom of that rectangle had a very pronounced blue hue glow to it more than the rest of the object. Near the top of the rectangles center were 3 very pronounced lights, but these lights seem a brighter white vs the rest of the craft, there were no colored lights... The weather was good, the sky was dark and cloudless.. The event lasted less than 2 minutes..

Was outside at night recording with my cell phone the lightning storm across the valley and witnessed a bright glowing object shoot from the bottom of the mountain up at an angle and into a lit area of the clouds at a very high rate of speed it was amazing.

San Clemente, CA
Tonight while star gazing in our backyard around 8pm, we, myself and 3 other people, saw multiple lights moving in different directions and then disappearing. More lights emerged from the same location moved for a few seconds and disappeared. Then in a different section of sky closer to the moon we saw the same phenomenon. One light emerged from the black sky moved for a bit and disappeared followed by about 5 more lights. These were not satellites and they were not in a string. There was movement from a few different locations but we focused our attention on one area at a time.

Montara, CA
While travelling North on Highway 1 (Cabrillo Highway) along the Northern California coast, as we rounded a bend in the highway we spotted a large, cylinder-shaped “structure/object” at the top of one of the mountains in close proximity to another (man-made) structure. At first, it appeared this structure was some sort of large parking garage as it had a cork screw pattern running up its side. It was tall, completely smooth and a cylinder in shape. It was white with a black stripe moving up the structure in a cork screw pattern. At the top of the structure were a number of smooth silver cylinders that were capped with smooth silver spheres. To the right of the silver cylinders was some sort of object appearing to hang over the edge of the structure. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good look at this hanging object. The structure was tall and looked very out of place for the surroundings which is why we first noticed it. Both myself and the other witness studied the object for one to two minutes before our attention was momentarily drawn to the surrounding highway traffic. When I looked back to continue looking at this cylindrical object, it had vanished and was nowhere to be seen. As we rounded the mountain where the cylinder had been, we could see the backside of the mountain which was vacant with no indication any type of structure/object had been there.

Los Angeles, CA
Watched a point of light at great distance from us (on a rooftop in downtown L.A.), hovering without moving, then turned itself off. A few minutes later, it reappeared in a different location and rose vertically, then turned itself off again. A number of minutes later, it reappeared and descended in a vertical line, then extinguished itself again. There were planes visible at a similar distance during this occurrence, all had multiple formation lights, this was one semi-bright light. Considering its apparent distance from us, it must have been ascending and descending at great speed, then stopped abruptly. Not sure of an aircraft that can exhibit this behavior?

When I opened my back den window to let cooler air in, I saw a perfect horizontal row of 8 bright light/lime green lights to the NW. It was not moving across the sky but was stationary and blinking on/off over and over again in short, regular intervals, the entire row of lights at the exact same time. It definitely gave me the impression that it was one object as it would blink off and quickly return all together. There was no sound. I ran to get my binoculars, returning quickly, but could not see it any more. Minutes later I went to look again, and saw it heading slowly farther N and slightly NE. For more than an hour, every time I checked to see if it was still there, I could see it very slowly moving N, getting smaller as it moved away from where it was when I first saw it. It did not blink on/off as it began to travel N. The only other thing I noticed was that there were soon quite a number of helicopters in the area as though searching for something in a very wide circle. It is usual to spot one police helicopter at times, but never 6+. I had never seen anything like it before.

We saw two king lights that seemed to pulse. They would bob up and down… zig zag and also remain stationary. When I tried to video with my camera I hit the flash and my phone died. My husband and I managed to capture some movements and the flying pattern on his cell and my video camera

Shortly after noon on August 28 spotted small white point of light in clear daylight sky at high altitude. A plane passed by much larger and lower while observing the light. Appeared stationary for at least 10 minutes and blink intermittently but not in a regular fashion then eventually moved slowly westward. Took short video.

For initial description, please see the pictures. There is also an impressive red light activity around this UFO seen on the video I took of the sightseeing ( it’s 2 min and 45 sec long ) but which I am unfortunately unable to download on your site ( it’s a video using my IPhone ). However, I can certainly send it to you via email, should you find, from the pictures I downloaded that they appear to be potential UFO material.
