On September 23, 2021 at 6:45 PST I was taking pictures of the sunset using my cell phone. I took several still pictures standing on my front porch facing due West, 25 miles southeast of San Diego. When I looked at the still shots I saw a "gray" spot far above the setting sun. In the still shots, there appears to be a reddish light surrounding the "spot." I tried to locate that spot with the naked eye but I could not see it. However, It appeared on several pictures that I took of the sunset. I enlarged the picture on my phone hoping to figure out what the spot was. Enlarged, the spot took on a faded yellow tone. It appeared to be a circular object. Since I could not locate the spot with my naked eye, I began to take a video scanning the sky. I located the semi-round spot frantically bouncing around, up and down and sideways in an extremely fast and non-directional motion. I took a video of the "spot" as I tried to keep it in my lens. The video lasted 2.17 minutes until it went out of my sight.

I was driving on Mansell st through John Mclaren Park on a perfect clear blue sky day when I see this weird unrecognizable silver shape flying parallel past me in the sky maybe 100-200 feet above the ground maybe going 30-40mph. I realized it was not a balloon because of its speed and horizontal flight pattern, and not a drone because it lacked any type of visible propeller. In addition, it had a very unusual organic, smooth/oval metallic shape that is unrecognizable to any drone. I got a video of it on my iphone 12 with full zoom and because I know how to edit video it I did a video track on the object and zoomed up further (750%) on it so you can see its unique features. You can check out the videos here.

San Francisco, CA
Past September I was taking 10:00am coffee break at my balcony and enjoying the view of the San Francisco. All of a sudden two lines appeared on top of the fog bank which is hanging over the Brisbane hills. I grabbed my binocular to see what that might be. I was soo shocked to see it wasn’t bird or anything that I can identify with. This two black long rectangle shaped objects was hanging up in the air with no attachment to the ground or any propulsion system that I can see. It was so black but being in creative business, I have never seen this kind of black. It almost looked empty space but flat. It had no depth at the edges or any reflection. It also had some glistening space in between. They were slanted in parallel formation but one on the right was lower than the other almost the thickness of the objects. It seemed they were 4-5 miles away from me. It gave me the feeling of they were big very big. All of a sudden they just disappeared. They were GONE! This whole thing lasted about 3 minutes. It is unfortunate that I picked up my binocular instead of my camera. A month passed and I can not stop thinking of what I have experienced. Each and every time I get goose bumps when I thought about it. So I decided to reconstruct what I have seen before images fades away from my mind. This staged photo illustrates what I have seen. I did bunch of web search but didn’t come up with anything. I hope this reaches someone who experienced the same.

Antioch, CA
We seen three lights moving in fast formations above the apartment across from us. They were at first in a straight line but very quickly moved into a triangle formation. They were moving very fast in perfect formation of a triangle. The triangle was spinning in a circle but staying in unison almost perfectly from what we could tell. Then the lights went dim until my camera could not register them and the night sky went black and about two minutes ago they reappeared as I'm typing this . There's no way a plane or helicopter could move like what I seen . I have a short video too but it isn't very clear. The light just went out out of nowhere one at a time . Idk how to explain it .

5 or more round and white objects with some sort of silvery elogated handle on top. They moved slowly in several directions, hovering over the area at 2000 to 3000 feet above ground. This area is the final approach to santa ana airport. No planes were coming during the time the objects were there. They disappeared suddenly when I was pointing my telescope at one of them.

I was inside my house when my friend called me out to come and see "this" she was pointing up towards the sky so I got up and when I looked up I seen a chrome/silver color object just "gliding" on by in the sk as if it were just observing us it was pretty foggy outside and so it disappeared for a moment I grabbed my binoculars it was kind of hard to track it down. My neighbors/friends were also aware of what we seen and they also pointed it out but I couldn't see with my naked eye, till I actually grbvd the binoculars. Anyways, once I tracked it down it was still just hovering on by and it was kind of weird because it would slighy appear and then dissappear. Finally it just disappeared. Now mind you once it was actually gone I did feel kind of sick, nauseas more like it.. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT WAS SILVER/CHROME COLORED AND IT WAS SAUCER SHAPED. P. S AT THE TIME IT ALL HAPPENED THERE WERE AIRPLANES PASSING BY BUT THEY ARE ONLY OBVIOUS AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THEM NOT THIS OBJECT!

At 10:10 pm I walked outside, scattered clouds in sky. Clouds were moving slowly sideways. Behind the cloud above my head were 3 circular lights moving erratically, up and down, side ways, etc. almost playing tag. They only remained behind the cloud. Lasted about 15 minutes. The cloud drifted far to the right and they stayed behind the cloud. Read previous sightings and ironically found this post that was just like my experience. I have a few videos I will submit. (previous post that was like my experience: ccurred : 7/31/2021 21:15 (Entered as : 07/31/21 21:15) Reported: 7/31/2021 10:03:02 PM 22:03 Posted: 8/16/2021 Location: El Dorado, CA Shape: Light Duration:15 min Unexplained lights in the sky, moving erratically and quickly right and left, up and down I noticed a strange light up in the sky that seemed to be moving very erratic, quickly back and forth, up and down. I called my husband out to look. We stood there for maybe 15 minutes, and within that time there were several more lights just like it on the right and left of the main one that we spotted first. It is a cloudy night so they were moving in a out of clouds. These things were not moving like an airplane at all. They were very erratic, back and forth, up and down. After about 15 minutes my husband and I went back in house)

It was sitting on saddle junction mountain to the southwest side. We had never seen such a huge bright light. Was the size of at least two football fields. Made a pyramid shape of light and after 20seconds just disappeared.

I was skating to 711 when I looked up and noticed what looked like a comet or something with a faint oval shaped ring of light around it. When I looked closer I noticed it wasn't moving and was sitting stationary. I looked at it for about 45 seconds when it started floating away and I realized it was hovering directly above the neighborhood less than a few hundred feet up. The ring around it disappeared once it flew off so I think it was an outline of the craft that I only saw because of the lighting or something. When it flew away I thought it was a plane or helicopter or something but it was way too fast and was making all of these u turns and zigzag. I watched it fly over the horizon in less than a minute. I took a video of it but it is really faint and it just looks like a star or a plane. I have a galaxy s9 and the camera isn't great for night shots so I could barely see it once I looked at the video. I have always wanted to see something like this and I expected it to be much more exciting. It was pretty awesome to see but I almost didn't even believe I saw it and assumed it was something easily explained until I thought about it for a while and talked to a buddy about it.

I thought it might be a parachute canopy, but it did not descend, and had nothing hanging from it. I put the binoculars on it, and there were intricate lights underneath the concave shape. It moved like a drone, but it was as big as my truck…. Slowly moved south bound. I didn’t see it do anything fantastic.

UFO sighting 9/7/21 at 10:41 pm. Over San Marcos, CA area. Moving in a westerly direction northwest of where I was located. My girlfriend and I were out on our balcony just enjoying the night air and looking at the stars and planets like we do from time to time. I noticed one that appeared to be brighter than usual. I mistook it for the star Arcturus if I remember correctly and tried to “prove it” to my girlfriend using the Star Chart app on my phone. She interrupted and told me it was moving. I also noticed it moving. There were no flashing lights and it was moving way to slow to be a plane. There was no noise that we could hear like with the planes that come into our area. I snapped a quick pic and we ran outside into the street to try and get a better look as the UFO was moving behind our neighboring building. By the time we got down to the street we could not see it anymore. After looking at the pic there wasn’t much to see until I zoomed in on the point! of light and it revealed more than I’d seen before in any other pictures of the night sky I have taken. Ive since taken pictures of planes in the area with landing lights on and they look nothing like this picture.

I turned off Pacific Coast Highway and headed North on Decker Canyon Rd. at approx. 11:25am. It was a clear bright afternoon with little or no clouds in the sky. As I was winding up through the canyon I took a picture of the windy road to share with a friend. It was not until after I came home and reviewed the picture that I noticed something strange in the upper left corner. After blowing up the picture I noticed the object were not clouds as I thought while I was driving up the road.

It was about 1 in the afternoon going through Taco Bell looking up over Dodge dealership and seeing 7 tiny diamond shaped objects at first I thought that they were Birds but every time they would move they would reflect a bright shiny silver color there was two that were remaining still the rest of them are moving and very weird patterns like triangles squares in a very uniform pattern and when I told the passenger to take a picture all of a sudden they had disappeared even the car in front of us was pointing and you can tell they were seeing what we were seeing

I saw one object with dotted green and red lights. There were 3 green and 2 red lights that were blinking rhythmically. The entire object remained stationary for the whole time I saw it in the sky. It disappeared after around 10-15 mins of when I first saw it. I have shared a 10 sec video of it in the email.

Oakland, CA
I was walking along the Oakland harbor in the afternoon. The sky was deep blue with no clouds. As I was walking, I glanced up at the sky and noticed a round white shape in the sky. It could have been a sphere, an egg, or something along those lines. I did not see any features at all on it, although it was quite far away so it is possible that I just didn't see them if they existed. It appeared to very high up--perhaps between 5,000 and 25,000 feet high. When I first saw the object, it was hovering in one place. Then it started moving in an erratic zig-zag fashion. It instantly accelerated an moved at an angle, hovered for a second, then moved at another zig-zag type angle with insant-seeming acceleration, hovered again, and repeated this for perhaps half a dozen short jumps or so. It was generally moving in the direction of the bay/ocean. I would not have thought much of this object at all had it not been for this strange jumpy movement. The best analogy I have for it is that it reminded me of someone moving a mouse cursor around a screen. It just kind of clumsily and quickly jumps to the new place on the screen where you point it. So while the hovering could be consistent with a quadcopter type drone or something, the sudden erratic jumpy behavior was just unlike anything I've ever seen before. There was no smoothness to it at all. Just: jump! Hover. Jump! Hover. After the jumping behavior, it hovered in one spot for about 5-10 seconds. I was staring at it the whole time and had stopped walking at this point. While I was staring at it, it disappeared after the 5-10 seconds. For the entire rest of my walk I had my eyes up on the sky scanning for it but I never saw it again. Within about five minutes, I noticed a helicopter flying around the city that had not been out before. It passed by me twice. The helicopter was much much lower than the UFO. I also saw a small low-flying white airplane pass through this area as well. It did not look like a passenger jet--it seemed much smaller. There is an airport several miles to the south (which is also the direction the UFO was), so the small airplane coming from that direction could just be a coincidence. I did not have my phone on me because I don't like to take my phone out on walks.
