I go out every night before bed to stretch, breathe & look at the sky. As I'm facing the north mountains, stretching, I see a large spherical red/orange shimmering light to my right. E-NE just to the left of the Idyllwild mountains. It appeared to be above the mountains & large, although there is no way of knowing the distance. It was steadily moving south & about to pass behind trees in the next lot. I ran to the front of my property, grabbed my phone & tried to record video. As it disappeared behind the trees, I ran to the back of my property waiting for it to reappear… It did not. I went inside & looked for the recording on my phone & it was not there. This could have been me screwing up in my excitement, but who knows. I am very used to jets, satellites, rocket launches, meteors & this was nothing like that, or anything I had seen before. I looked on social media for anyone else that may have seen it, but found no info.

While out for a walk on a clear, cloudless day, I noticed a pure white cylinder shaped object in the sky. It had no wings, tail, or any visible means of flying, was silent,was not moving, or was barely moving/flying at all so as to appear to be sitting still. I watched it in that exact same spot for several minutes when suddenly, it either blinked out or left at such a high rate of speed that my eyes could not track it. It reminded me of the white tic-tac object seen by pilots, shown on TV some time ago, but was not moving.

Sunday 7-25-21 Nothing happened Saturday but last night, I was standing in my garage doorway and about to step inside and call it a night when a dark grey shadowy streak flew by my face like a swift flying bird right to left, not 10 feet from my face. My eyes and head turned to track this object. A flash caught my eye and I turned to look left in its vicinity over my neighbor’s house across the street. A glowing Orb hovering over my neighbor’s home. Suddenly it shot off leaving a streak from low too high for about 30 yards did I see this "light" streak/trail. Similar to a shooting star, but shooting stars don’t travel from low to high. Nor hover over a roofline or even at this level. Am I going crazy? It appeared at 4 feet above the roofline, but burned out at 30 feet, a certain degree of angle, no burning debris trail, just a streak, like you wave a glowing light stick through the air super-fast. So, I watched where the streak of light had burned out at its apex because instinct told me to, (at this moment I was thinking of dashing inside and yelling for my wife), and...out of nowhere, I can see depth, neighbor's houses, stars and everything behind it when a bright white light like Orb last Wednesday flashed, then the hole closed. Happened just before midnight. This Orb was exactly like the July 21st Orb. I immediately went in and told my wife.

While driving my son noticed a black cigar shaped object above/over over the moon - i pulled over and we watched it move slowly from top of moon to left side - it was very difficult to see but the moon reflection highlighted it enough to make out a cigar shaped object - we both took pictures with our cell phones but the object did not appear as black but instead came out as a bright object off to the left side of moon - it just disappeared after approximately two minutes of viewing - was an amazing sight to see. Pictures sent to website below from my phone.

I was hiking with my daughter in Almaden Quicksilver Park, San Jose. This is next to Mnt. Umunhum, where an old Air Force base resides on top of the mountain. The large rectangular building on top of the mountain is very prominent and often referred to as "the cube". My daughter and I were looking at one of the huge power line structures just off the trail. My daughter walked off the trail, toward the structure, while I looked up at the birds sitting on top of it. I believe we were facing south and part of the sky was in view but there were also trees partially blocking the view as well. I saw a bright spherically-shaped object flying right to left at what appeared to be a very fast speed. The object appeared to be emitting a bright white light all around it, yet had a slight silver shimmer to it as if the sun was also partially reflecting off of it. My daughter did not see the object from her vantage point. We walked a few yards down the trail whe! re we could get a good view of the horizon (no trees in the way) but the object was long gone. I wish I had my phone out to take a video but it was gone in a matter of seconds. It was definitely not a plane, not a drone, and not a bird. It is difficult to determine how large the object was. It looked extremely high-tech.

Friday the 23rd. It is a typical day, my wife comes home, we joke together about no aliens landing today, (I read that Reddit post, posted a decade ago predicting Alien arrivals in 2021 of July so I’ve been hoping a fraction of it was true). I go outside as I always do after supper, between 6 or 7. Walk over to my garden and instinct said look up. I saw the greyed out or shaded out bottom of three egg shaped craft, (almost Mandalorian, I swear). Surrounded or escorted by a flock of little ships. My mind immediately processed a flock of Geese until I saw the 3-egg shaped bigger ships. Then my mind was blown and the second my mind processed UFO they went POOF! And every one of the little ships were scattered in a 15-mile radius, above us, in front, each side as far as we can see. They sparkled like diamonds in the sky. The 3 main ships had a sheen about them as the sun reflected blindingly so off their crafts skins. Almost a glassy metal sheen about them. The best way to describe the glow or sunny sheen, blinding reflection would be if you stare at a house window and the sun hits just the right angle its blinding, or driving in a city and the sun blinds you with the reflection off a glassy skyscraper, that’s what it was like. As soon as they scattered, I ran into tell my wife. She came out and began to observe them also. Attempted to take videos but we didn’t have the camera set right. I was observing the 3 main ships via binoculars. I could see the, sun on glass window blinding reflection, but could also make out the shaded shape of the craft. There were 3 mid-sized ships as well. I went to view another craft, this one a triangle with it’s rear at me. I could see 3 colored tubes out the rear, skin of craft was darker. No sun blinding reflection I assume because I was looking at the rear. The tubes on the 1st one where a purple color and the 2nd triangle had white diamond-colored tubes. The 3rd looked more an amber but didn’t see it as much as I was lowering glasses as my wife passed me the camera. I took 1 photo, (hindsight kicking myself I didn’t just snap away in rapid fire), but I wanted to get some video. So, I hit video and captured what I could until suddenly I just realized I should go get neighbors to witness. I ran next door to my neighbors and he came out and watched them with me a bit, through my binoculars to, and he dropped the glassers quickly and said one had zipped through his line of sight and I have a witness statement from him. I then run across the street to another but they were not home and as I gave up the neighbors on the opposite side of me had just returned from dinner. I called them over and they witnessed it as well but have yet to submit a witness statement. My wife and I watched it until the last one left, disappeared or shot off so fast we couldn’t tell. They simply began to just thin out across our view of them. After it was all over, we stood shook, stunned, but for me, a lot of things made sense.

CE5 Log Started CE5 on Sunday the 18th after viewing documentary the previous week on Netflix. I do a series of 3 long dots, pause, 3 dots, pause, 3 dots. Repeat 3 times and wait. Sunday the 18th=Nothing Monday=Nothing Tuesday=Nothing Wednesday the 21st, my first contact/sighting after 3 days of using my laser. 1030ish. I was about to give up and go inside when an instinct said no, look again, so I did and noticed a beachball size glowing "white" ball of light with a smaller blinking "white" ball of light just a foot or two in front of larger beachball sized orb. I stepped out the sidedoor of my garage expecting to hear rotors from a chopper because my mind instantly processed chopper. I hear No sound, and I can instantly see it was just above the neighbor’s home about 40 to 50 feet in the air. Not way off in the distance as I first had thought. The beachball sized orb then seemed to swallow or absorb the smaller one. They became one. It hovered. It shrunk to a blip and darted to MY right about 5 feet, expanded big again, darted to the left and then poof, to a blip again, then enlarge again, dart right, flash bright and big and repeat that pattern 4 times. I was just about to throw open the door and yell at my wife to come outside and again, an instinct came that was against that thinking, and I subconsciously knew it would not return so I had better keep watching it. So, I turned back to watch it again, it did one more flash big n bright, then gone. Like the white ball/orb of light closed like a door, shrunk to nothing. I instinctively knew that was it, show over, I could go and share with my wife and I did. Thursday=I had the instinct to take a photograph of an unusual triangle star formation just to the right of my outside door. Been there awhile but can’t recall seeing before. I log it now because it will play a role in another sighting that followed. Characteristics of object: No lights on it, so not a craft per se, but it was a White glowing orb. Did not emit object but absorbed another orb object. 1st of 30 plus sightings I'll be reporting. July 23rd being the biggest when over 100 came in broad daylight and put on a show for an hour and 10 minutes! (I'll submit that one next with pic and video). My background? 61 Retired Crane Operator Married 33 years father of 2, grandfather of 3 1st sighting at 17 in 1977, I'll submit that one. Became interested again after all the UFO disclosure lately plus watching Dr. Greer's CE5 Doc. Since I've known of "them" for 43 years I said Hey why not, I have a laser let’s try it. The rest is almost 30 consecutive days and evenings of sightings I have logged, with some pictures, videos, my crude drawings depicting events and my unwavering truth and eagerness to share what I witnessed and experienced with those who want to hear it. Thank you

I was driving to pick up pizza when I noticed about 6 lights in formation not moving but very bright. Called my bf to confirm he could see it too. Arrived home and still saw them in a triangle form still not moving. After about 5 mins they changed form, when into a straight line and 3 of them disappeared. They would disappear and reappear in triangle / line formations. I have a video of the incident. And one of my pictures I was able to catch a blurry what looks to me like a saucer.

My Son called my husband and I outside, my husband stayed inside i went outside. We saw these orbs shooting around in the sky forming triangle shapes. I couldn’t believe my eyes there is no plane or any other explanation.. they were so fast ! It was right above the suburbs. They darted away and came back in the blink of an eye. I could have date wrong.. we didn’t write down date. I didn’t believe in UFO’s now I do. I work at a school and I am regularly drug tested.

I was talking to my co-worker about seeing a lot of UFOs lately when I pointed out a star that was moving fast. It flew right at an airplane but passed and seconds later it just disappeared over head. One airplane could have been repelling the light away from my vantage that's what it looked like.

El Centro (east of), CA
I was onboard a commercial flight from San Diego to Newark on July 7, 2021. We flew east from San Diego along the US/Mexico border. I was on the left side of the plane so I could see the US side of the border. I knew from monitoring FlightRadar24 that there was an area east of El Centro, CA., where I typically notice military aircraft flying. So as we were nearing that area, I was looking out the window wondering if I would see any military aircraft. At about 12:45, I saw a strange silvery-white object hovering over the ground below and to the left of our flight path. If I had to guess, it appeared to be about 2500 feet AGL and we were at about 20000 feet AGL at that time. The object appeared to be stationary. I remember thinking that it exhibited the flight characteristics of a tethered balloon. I snapped a photo of the object. I blew the photo up and it almost looks like a short, fat blimp with a weird protrusion on the right rear side. I am thi! nking that this may be some sort of military craft or drone, but I have no idea. I assumed that it was stationary since we were moving quite fast and I lost sight of the object as we passed and my view became obstructed by the wing of our aircraft. I will submit the photo and the blown up version to you via email.

Eldorado Hills-Placerville (Hwy 50, CA
I am a 52 year old male. I own a small moving company in Reno, NV. I grew up in the East Bay of northern California. Prior to my "sighting" I would consider myself a believer in the possibility that intelligent life exists and very well may be and have been visiting our planet. With that being said I must convey that though I am a "believer" in so called UFO's. I have never had any encounters with or thought I might have possibly seen something that may have been a UFO. Nor have I ever went out into the night and looked for lights in the sky. I would have classified myself about middle of the road much like most of my family and friends. On 7/6/21 My co-worked and I loaded two 26' Budget rental trucks in Danville, CA. We finished loading the trucks around 5pm right at the beginning of rush hour traffic all the way through Sacramento. Rather than sitting in traffic we visited a friend who lived close bye to kill some time. We were heading East on I-80 in Sacramento when I accidently turned onto Hwy50 East towards Placerville, Ca. and Lake Tahoe. It was a dark night so I was concentrating on the road. Just as I crested over a hill I saw what I thought was a fake spaceship very large mabye half of a football field or bigger just floating above the tree line in the distance. As I got closer the craft became more visible. At the same time I am in my mind trying to rationalize what I am seeing. When I got to around a few hundred yards from the craft It became abundently clear that this was not a baloon. It was the most badassed thing I had ever seen ever! The craft was from what I could see shaped like a tringle but not pointed more rounded at the points. The most noticeable thing was the thickness. It was I guess 10'-15' in height and sort of squared off the pronounced shape stood out. There were faint lights around the craft which helped make out the size better. The color was kind of gun metal grey in color and made no noise nor were there any visible means of propulsion. I was so amazed I could not take my eyes off of it. I was so close to it at that point that there was no internal battle taking place in my head questioning what I was seeing it was just matter of factly going about its business moving over the tree tops and disappearing down the valley out of sight. There were plently of other cars traveling East the direction I was heading as well as cars heading West but as to weather they saw the craft or not I could not say. I was never scared and I never questioned what I saw. What I find odd is that One would think that a encounter like mine would have a profound effect on me but it did not. It was easy to accept. I wanted to report my encounter mainly to see if anyone else saw anything but found it difficult to know where I could report it. My friend suggested this site so now I am reporting it.

Walnut Creek, CA
It was solid white. Looked like a small plane with no wings at first. Flying at high altitude. Did not show up on flight tracker program. I started filming it. After it passed over the house from the backyard, we ran out front & it disappeared. Reviewing the footage & zooming in, it had an aura around it. It was clearly spinning in a rotation. It looked solid, then rotated into what looked like a burst of energy cloud, then an aura, then gone, but you could still see like a dissipated smokey look with an oval appearance. Then it went back to a solid appearance and repeated this 3 times that we could see in our footage. So in the rotations it had the ability to change. When enhancing a still shot, the front had a purplish spot. Another was in the middle and the backend was shaped like a house front. /\ shape roof with = shape under. It looked like one row of square lights lined the pitch roof looking area and two rows of square lights were on the bottom. It ! was very distinctive within the cigar/oval shape aura surrounding it. It made no noise at all. It was completely quiet. My 7 year old grandson spotted it first. When we were trying to enhance the footage to see it closer the laptop shut down on its own, twice. It was approximately 8:37-8:38 pm on July 5, 2021.

We were in our driveway watching a firework display from several blocks away. We saw this white object sitting still very high in the sky to the East. It would slowly move different directions sometimes turning into a larger fuzzy ball then back to its original shape. It didn’t have colors while moving but in the still photos you can see green on one side. In one photo I zoomed my phone for a still photo and there we’re 3 objects. Each one had the green although only one was visible to us while just watching. We watched this for an hour and went inside. We are near a military base. I am emailing videos. I would like to know if anyone else reported seeing this. Please contact me to let me know. Thank you.

Burbank, CA
At approximately 4:30 in the morning on July 4 and I walked out onto my second-story balcony that faces east to smoke a cigarette. I heard a humming noise coming from above so I looked up into the sky and saw an extremely large white craft flying west directly over my building. It had a flat bottom, slightly rounded sides, and white/blue/red lights on the craft. I immediately thought UFO mothership. I’ve never seen anything this large flying this low, and ran back inside to grab my phone. I was able to snap two photos and wanted to grab a video, but the craft flew over my building and out of sight before obtaining. It has bothered me ever since, not knowing whether there was some type of blimp (closest object I can relate the craft to) or truly some type of unknown aircraft flying over the city during those hours. I just can’t shake the image of this craft out of my mind since July 4. Even though it has been some time since my sighting I felt it was applica! ble to report.

Upon climbing the steps from my home to the street above I spotted a highly reflective, shiny metallic sphere approximately 500+ yards in the blue sky drifting slowly south over the hill just east of the ocean. The object made no sound that I could hear and left no trail. As I watched, it stopped after about 1 min of slow drift and stayed stationary as I watched for another couple of minutes. I then retreated to my house to grab my binoculars and it had disappeared. The wind was moderate onshore to the east with scattered low clouds.

Lat: 32.87083°NLon: 117.25083°WElev: 249ft. Siting looking east above MCAS Miramar (San Diego), July 2, 2021 4pm-ish. While birding, my boyfriend noticed a “UFO”. I also looked at it and saw a globe that was coming in our direction from what might have been just over our nearby military air field. The UFO seemed to glide slower than the cloud cover, but did stay visible for 10 minutes at least, traveling a total of 75-80 degrees of arc Northwesterly towards us. Once it was almost overhead when we could no longer see it with the naked eye. It was four times the size of venus from our perspective. These photos were taken with a 300mm zoom lense on a tripod.

Silver Lake, Los Angeles, July 1, 2021, approximately 12:37am-12:57am Walked outside to look at the sky. Slightly overcast night tonight. I saw what looked like a star twinkling through the thin clouds. It began moving. Then I thought perhaps it was a satellite. It abruptly, but very smoothly, changed direction, and swooped across the sky. It came back, and made a number of similar swooping, erratic movements. At times it went behind some trees. I couldn't be sure, but I began to think there were two or three. A few times I was able to spot two at once. They were white pinpoints of light, the size and color of stars, perhaps 10,000 feet altitude. Eventually the one I observed the longest streaked across the sky. At that point I noticed there were four more hovering in formation in the distance. It joined the group, and they flew off together rapidly in formation. It was a very unusual and unexpected experience, the first time I've seen anything like this. I could not trust that I was actually seeing them. However, I was able to point to them (for myself) and trace the objects' arcs across the sky. That helped me convince myself that what I was seeing was real. I didn't try to take photos or videos because they were quite dim for the most part. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to capture any images. I also wasn't sure how long they would stick around, so I didn't want to lose time messing with the phone. In total I watched them for 15-20 minutes. After they were gone I watched the sky for some time. The clouds hadn't changed, but there were no stars in sight at all.

My mother came to visit my house I lived in last year in San Diego. We were watching tv that evening and I have a very clear view of the beach outside my window and something caught my eye. I am used to seeing naval ships, airplanes, drones, helicopters, and more off the coast but this was something unusually spectacular. A formation of five separate lights appeared hovering during sunset. I thought to myself oh it’s probably drones or some military exercise but then as the sun was setting, I could see the boats in the ocean turn on their lights and then saw an airplane flyby and realized this is something crazy. I jumped up and told my mom “OMG mom there is a ufo in the sky and now my life is complete!”. I have always been a huge believer in existence outside of our planet and my mom was not a believer until this incident so we started recording. The biggest thing that stood out was the comparison of distance vs height and illumination of the lights vs the planes that were passing by and the ships underneath the floating objects. There was no sound or movement from these objects other than appearing in and out in a formation. We could even hear the planes next to it but zero noise from these objects. This was something our minds could not comprehend. The lights were so big and bright and closer then the planes but we couldn’t see anything but hovering lights. Then the formation started to fade it’s lights in and out. Then reappeared but always in the same hovering formation. There was zero movement until the lights would dim then reappear in another pattern. This went on for about 30 minutes just hovering in a stacked a weird very bright light formation. I have gifted drones to people and this was not a drone. This was not a flare gun exercise seeing these lights were not falling at any point. This was not a plane, seeing it was stationary. This was something EXTRAordinarily terrestrial. No one believes us when we tell them. It was something you had to be there to experience but many people all along the coast reported the sightings. The next day, articles came out about it stating police were informed and claimed it was not known what these lights were. The military did not take ownership the next day, no one knew besides us residents that saw the spectacular event.

Saw a large shiny object in the sky that had two bright lights on either side. It was shiny and hovering, planes flying behind and infront of it. Then 10 minutes in the object would move away from us till it was really small then come back and visibly larger, estimating 15-20feet long. Then it disappeared 3 mins later appeared again. Showed us its belly which was visibly darker and a triangular shape. Then poof it was gone. With no sunglasses you could only see the object.. with polorized glasses we could see a ring around the object. My family has always been making fun of me and they have all officially seen it and believe it. I have a picture as well
