Salton City, CA
We witnesses bright large amber yellow lights over the Salton city area at about 10 o’clock at night we stopped the car to get out we were very close probably within a mile or two appeared to coming towards us first and got larger I’m a private pilot and I did not hear an engine a jet no rotor wash they appear to be hovering but then in a very quick manner of the 13 to 10 lights four of them burned out instantly or just disappeared vanished and then there was a linear chain that went on a Wright degree angle all in a line at about a 45° angle and then it quickly turned into two triangles one on top of the other point-to-point one inverted one normal but then it went to a formation that reminded me of a the Air Force flying over the channel in World War II kind of a staggered on top of each other wingman formation and then two of them disappeared or the lights just went out they got really small like they were heading eastbound it appeared and just disappeared and then one by one they just disappeared it look like they got smaller and they vanished was very very surreal and bizarre

I was on the street around 8:10 PM when I saw/heard a helicopter above. I looked up at the sky and then noticed around 4 dim lights in a row/straight line moving at a slow-medium rate of speed overhead to the left of where the helicopter had passed by. The helicopter had since passed at this point. I realized that the lights were on the underside of a triangular flying object that blended into the sky. I would estimate that the object was larger than a passenger plane. The flying object almost seemed to be translucent or camoflauged and was moving discretely. I would not have noticed it had it not been for the lights underneath. The sky was relatively clear - there was some clouds but overall it was clear and easy to see the stars. The flying object was higher than a helicopter but lower than a plane. The lights were dim - not as bright as lights on planes - and a white/light yellow color. I did not hear it emit any noise. It seemed as if it was just leisurely gliding through the sky and did not want to be detected.

Willits, CA
12 year crew chief in the Air Force. Was an aerospace technologies instructor. Have a DJI FPV drone and am familiar with the noise they produce at varying altitudes. This caught my attention because it maintained a consistent altitude and altered course by 90 degrees in a very precise and deliberate manner. It did not produce any noise. It was as if it was vantablack, couldn’t make out any features other than the general shape and size because it was dark and the object was black. It looked spherical from a distance. It maintained an approximate altitude of 500 feet. It flew toward me and proceeded over me as I started to record. When flying overhead at aproximately it appeared less spherical and more like a horizontally pitched disc, to the naked eye. It looked to be aproximately 6 feet in width and it traveled at approximately 5-10 mph. It had similar appearances to the declassified navy video of a black orb splashing into the water. I will also note that this particular valley has little to no cell service. I recorded it with low definition on an iPhone 12, then stopped the recording to change my settings to HD with a higher frame rate. By the time I had done so and started recording again, it was gone and I was left looking like ab idiot with a phone in a field. Disclaimer: I did have the generator for my camper operating, but I can hear my drone at that altitude and location. This thing was substantially larger and made no noise and had no noticeable outlets, exhausts, fans, propellers, or viewable means of propulsion. It is very possible that it was a man-made blimp-like object, I just haven’t seen anything like it before and it resembled close enough to the craft in the navy video for me to submit this.

While looking in the sky at work I saw three crescent lights traveling in unison, close to one another in the sky. The lights were not a normal light... similar to metal shimmering, but not metal. Very abnormal. I saw the lights traveling for approx 10 seconds, then disappear in a flash.

Hemet, CA
I've been seeing these orb-like round-shaped UFOs, ever since we moved out here to Hemet, California a few years ago. But never; as much or as many crafts at the same time, there appeared to be about seven or eight, this was at night time around ten o clock PM, Pacific Time. I managed to take a short video with my cellphone of most of the crafts, that get my attention, they mostly had no sound, but moved very fast and vanished in clear sight.

Palm Desert, CA
I have a Celestron telescope with which I can see the moons of Jupiter, so it has very good clarity. I was out walking, and saw a black triangle with 2 red and 2 green flashing lights hovering over the area of the 29Palms Marine Base, and thought it to be a vertical landing F35 or other fighter aircraft. I ran inside my home, got the telescope, and focused it... other neighbors out walking had seen the craft and grown concerned as well. The lights were VERY bright, brighter than any drone lights I've ever seen, and brighter than any lights I've seen on an aircraft, and I've lived near airports and flight paths my entire life. The triangle was hovering above the airspace that airplanes use when coming in for a landing at the local Palm Springs Airport, and appeared to be about 15-20,000 feet in altitude. After hovering for about 10 minutes, a commercial airplane came into the normal landing pattern for the Palm Springs airport and passed by the object with what looked like several miles of distance between them, and about 20 seconds later the triangle abruptly dropped at an extremely fast speed, almost to the ground (it was no longer visible to me as a house was in the way). My spouse and several shocked neighbors saw it too. I then went back inside and Googled every drone and jet fighter VTOL picture and video I could find, and even thought it may be an Osprey aircraft, but nothing looks like what I saw. For background, my spouse and I both have 20/10 vision, and are very skeptical about UFO sightings. But this was absolutely terrifying. We've never seen anything like this. Please do not release my name -- I don't want anyone outside of NUFORC contacting me or my family.

Before going to bed, I went outside to close the chicken coop. I turned to go back to the house and looked up at the stars in the clear sky. Above my house, about 750-1,000 ft. in the air I saw a circular object hovering. The object had one red light on the side and a blue/green light directly opposite. Both lights were flashing simultaneously. I immediately ruled out this object as a helicopter, because there was no noise whatsoever. I assumed that this object was a drone. I wondered why a drone would be flying over my house and who would be flying it. I wondered if the police operated drones and then realized that in any case this would have to be.a very large drone. If my estimation of its altitude is correct, the object may have been about 10-15 ft. in diameter. Aside from the flashing lights being visible, I could also make out the vague circular shape which was lighter than the night sky. After about 30 seconds of staring a the object, suddenly the lights went out. The object was still there. I could still see it hovering with no movement. It remained there without lights for about another 5 seconds, then it began a slow widening arc. I watched it curve slowly West, South and then as drifted to the Southeast it blended into the night sky. I waited for it to return or for the lights to appear again, but nothing happened, so I went inside. The attached image is an image of my house which I photoshopped to make it look like night and to show the relative size and where the object appeared. At this time of night I had not yet gone to bed, was not dreaming, or experiencing any kind of hallucination. I don't drink or do any kind of drugs that would cause any kind of artificial experience.

midway into my ring camera security system video caught a UFO decending from space course adjusted 3 times and disappeared. if you download the video and slow motion it watch what it does and the irregularities. looks like using a pulse drive for propulsion as you can see the directional tracks that fade behind it. it was so fast as it was just gone when it turned right. i thought it landed but police agreed it was "something" look at the solid head in front of the trails. go frame by frame and you'll agree it came from space. do slow stop and go to slow it down

Some guy I know has basically images where it shows entities, said crafts were coming in hundred of miles and stop and change in a perfect motion. Where one was visible the next followed the trajectory and took off space ward. This video attached shows in the image grain a said entity. Which in my interpretation is making a focal point well aware and is disturbed. Begin any contact

A saturn shaped saucer hovering over rhe south of tulare. It was to big to be a drone and didn’t take the shape or trajectory of a plane, missle, or helicopter. It hovered slowly and there were jets that flew by after west towards the military base in Lemoore.

I was taking my dog out for a poo, when on our way back i gazed straight up into the night sky looking past all the stars, i saw a chevron shaped craft, flying from west to east. I was quiet with no sounds. Ive seen starlink before and this seemed very different. It had almost an aura around it, no flashing lights, i stress how quiet it was.

My father and I saw the object in the sky while dropping off mail at the post office. The object was spectacularly bright in person. I used Sky Guide to see if it matched with any stars in the sky and it did not appear to match anything. I believe Sirius is the star visible at the beginning of the recording and the UAP is significantly brighter. I also used WolframAlpha and an air traffic app to check for any flights that would be visible overhead and none matched what we saw. We witnessed a single anomaly in the night sky. It appeared spherical and would best be described as a ball of light. It was so bright that it reminded me of the magnesium fire starter I used when I would go camping. It was not accompanied by any identifying sound. I recorded the object from the north end of the USPS parking lot while facing south (approximate (DMS) 33 29’ 35” N 117 39’ 55” W). I used my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the recording. The object was visible at the 0.5x, 1.0x, and 2.5x zoom levels available. The recording is short at just 35 seconds. Dad wanted to get home so that we could get a good nights rest for work the next day. At the end of the recording the object appears to move upward. The luminosity of the object witnessed was so bright and the size was so much larger than the stars visible that it stood out as an anomaly. The apparent sudden movement upwards at the end of the recording is also difficult to explain if it is not the result of high zoom and unsteady camera work. We saw it on the drive over and it was still visible as we drove away. I am reporting the duration as 35 seconds because that is the duration of my recording. My best guess to how long we were able to witness the anomaly is 3-5 minutes. It became obscured by the vehicle frame and surrounding structures as we drove away. On July 6,2022 at 2:57 PM a cop worker and I witnessed the computer at the station next to mine wake up its screen without anyone touching it and then begin to glitch. It looked more organized than any glitch I have ever seen. It reminded me of a spectrum analyzer display. I will include this footage with the hope you have a more mundane explanation for what caused the monitor (which was not in use though was not plugged in) to exhibit such behaviors. I am sharing this without sound because my go worker got a call and introduced himself.

I knew right away it was not a plane by the way it moved and I immediately took out my cell phone and began recording and what I have is this round white light it came in at incredible speed while also stopping and than darting off at an impossible speed. When I reviewed the video I zoomed in as much as I could and what I got I consider to be amazing. It clearly shows a metallic object and also this horse shoe shaped ring of light that I imagine has something to do with It's propulsion. My email is ((e-address and telephone # deleted.))

I looked up as a plane passed by on its final approach to San Diego airport when I notice far above the plane a small moving and shiny object. It appeared too high to be a drone. I took out my phone and started videotaping the object the best I could.

While I was driving to work I start to lights stationary above the San Bernardino Mountains. I was driving east on the 10. All of a sudden it became 3 and then four and then three and then two and it continues to do this in formation for at least 10 minutes. w I was driving to work. I took pictures and video but I couldn't see anything. I have an Android. I called my daughter while it was happening and told her what I was seeing. I will mention here that there were a few other shapes maybe three or four that were up in threw sky as well. Maybe cigar shaped. Like a thick line of white and all the same size and they were flat and they didn't move either but at the time I wasn't sure if it was just something natural but I definitely noticed that they all seem to be together.

I was hiking with my dogs in the hills and I was only taking a picture of the weird pattern in the sky. It was only when I zoomed in on the picture that I saw the round object. You must zoom in to see the object above the apex pattern
