Woodland Hills, CA
I thought I was looking at a narrow little cloud in the sky from our deck then noticed it had a small round object at its left side - and I realized the cloud wasn't a cloud but perhaps a white trail from this object that was ascending at a very steep angle - that's when I grabbed my iPhone and began recording the video - the object was white and then separated from the trail and then moved vertically and then quickly moved to right and then both the object and the trail abruptly disappeared. Within seconds my other witness noticed the round white object high in the sky to the right of our house staying static for a few seconds and then I also saw it when it began moving in a chaotic pattern for a couple of seconds and then it disappeared. Unfortunately, it happened so fast I was unable to begin shooting another video of it. The area it reappeared in was the eastern sky and its first appearance was in the southwestern sky. Because the object and the trail di! sappeared at same time and then object reappearing in a completely different location I do not believe this could in any way be a satellite or rocket, etc.

Canoga Park, CA
The object was moving in a NorthWest to SouthEast direction above from approximately the intersections of Parthenia and Canoga to Roscoe and De Soto. The object can be described as a very bright looking star. I looked and listened very closely for wings, rotars, and jet engine sounds. This UAP did not have any signs whatsoever of having any conventional design. This was NOT a star or a drone. This was not the front light of a jet airliner. This was not a satellite or the Internatiinal Space Station.

Mojave, CA
The craft made movements kind of from side to side. Unnatural to a winged craft. The craft faded a couple times from white to yellow. There appeared the be a reflection of the light around the object as you looked just off both sides but not completely enveloping the craft, giving the appearance of a shroud. Could of been atmospheric. Never moving at a fast rate of speed, no apparent sound noticible. End of statement.

Crestline, CA
Approximately 50 UFOs were seen traveling at a tremendous speed southward in the night sky over Crestline, California around 9 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. I have seen a single UFO in the past during a July 4th fireworks show in Crestline, California in 2003, but never anything like this.

Fallbrook, CA
Caught on ring system. The background is my garden. They looked at my tomato plants a few times, but stayed all over my marijuana plants that average in height of 3-5ft tall. Looked as if the were shining a small spot light on all my garden plants. This flying object has no propeller.

Irvine, CA
Six round white objects flying from west to east. Then a single object following in same direction. Moments later another similar object flying in the same direction flew vertically straight up very fast then flew down and continued in the same direction as the others. Eight objects were seen. Reported to Irvine police department.

Bakersfield, CA
On May 30th, my sons and a friend were outside when my friend runs in and tells me to go look at the sky as he gets his phone. When I ran outside and looked, there was multiple fast moving stars in a straight line as If they were on a invisible freeway. The moving stars were traveling in groups on 2 or 3. As we keep looking some would disappear. My son and I were able to see a faint portal or worm hole they came out of. It blended with the sky and had purple rays coming from it where the fast disappearing star traveled on. What we seen in the sky couldn’t be seen on our cameras.

Hemet, CA
This sighting occurred on the evening of May 30th, 2021 at approximately 8:49 pm. I was driving alone, working doing deliveries in the city of Hemet, CA. I was driving thru a quiet residential area when I spotted two lights in the sky above me, moving eastward. They looked like glowing orange orbs and moved silently across the sky. It was difficult to gauge their size as I was also trying to keep my eyes on the road. I grabbed my phone and snapped a quick photo thru the windshield of my car. I was in the middle of a delivery and couldn't stop to observe more closely or record video. I sped up to my drop off point which was less than a minute away with the intention of recording the lights with my phone. I reached my destination, shut off my car and exited the vehicle. The objects were almost directly above me now, still moving eastward and making no sound. As soon as I dropped off my delivery at the residence, I quickly moved back to where I could get a clear view of the objects. There were trees at the residence that had blocked my view of the lights. As I approached my car I looked up just in time to see them vanish simultaneously. They didn't fly off, they just dissappeared. The strangest thing about this incident was not the lights themselves but the fact that just moments before seeing the lights, the thought of an alien encounter or abduction had just popped into my head. Coincidence? Maybe, but it was very strange timing.

Notice a light flashing in the mountain. Blue then red. It's wilderness area no roads or homes. Started watching it and began to move flying sideways, hovering, up down , disappearing then reappearing. Caught the last part of it on phone, light had turned to white. Maybe a drone?

North Hollywood, CA
This UAP object was travelling very slow from East to West. This happened directly over the MTA North Hollywood Station located at Lankershim and Chandler in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles. The object was at approximately 3,000 AGL altitude. This is not a prank report. There was also an LAPD helicopter and an two airliners directly over head at the same time as well, not related obviously. Interesting to note just in case, one of the airliners tyoe craft was way higher in altitude compared to other high flying airliner type jets. Also, the UAP craft seemed to either be blinking a bright white light or moving in a manner that reflected sun light to make to it appear that way from the ground.

There is something going on with the cloud/marine coverage around Mt. Baldy and inland empire area. There is a lot of static and it feels like energy is being drained under the clouds. I thought it was just reiki until I noticed a connection with the cloud coverage as well. I photographed it the other week and a face with multiple eyes seemed to take shape in the cloud but deleted it because it was physically affecting me. That was about 2 weeks ago around 05/11/21.

Canyon Lake, CA
I was with a friend at a taco truck with several other customers who witnessed this . A giant golden fireball streak came down from the southern skies,it was massive. It continued for a very long time then broke into 3 seperate fireballs all side by side. Then at the same time all 3 broke from freefall & went in complete different directions, one went up! They all started just cruising around not in freefall anymore. Absolute insanity for everyone who witnessed- we were all in awe

There was a line of lights, approximately ten, not like a comet streaking across the sky but individual dots in a line that disappeared over the Mountain. White lights contained inside a stream of a lighter color than the night sky until they disappeared.

Auburn, CA
I was walking in my front yard using a flashlight. I looked up and saw what looked like an illuminated telephone wire. At first I thought my flashlight was lighting up a telephone wire. I turned off the light and saw a continuous line of white lights traveling at high speed, one after another in trail spacing that left a light tail. The formation was moving from my left to right in a SE direction at a very high speed. I followed the formation until it disappeared over the horizon. I heard no aircraft noise following the formation nor did I see a contrail. The image simple vanished over the horizon.

I saw a glint of light appear in the sky as I was driving and looked up through my front windshield to see 6 objects flying around each other and in circular motion. I tried to capture on video but they did not appear on my phone screen. They were shiny on one side. My granddaughter and her friend also witnessed these 6 flying objects. Then they just disappeared. They were triangle shaped and appeared very high in the sky.

Downey, CA
Date: 26 May 2021 Location: Downey, CA. Lat. 33.928N Long. 118.0134W Elev. 37m Time: Approximately 02:52 PDT Temp. 62°F, RH 93% Mostly Cloudy Wind Calm I've been an amateur astronomer for 18 years and it was also a hobby of mine for a few years growing up. This is the second telescope I've owned and have had it since January 2003. I've viewed 6 planets with it, Orion Nebula, star clusters, and at least a dozen total lunar eclipses. I've seen the ISS and the Space Shuttle Orbiters docked and undocked through binoculars and with the naked eye. I've watched the Geminid Meteors a half a dozen times and have viewed several comets. I'm familiar with most of the Northern Hemisphere constellations and the stars in them visible to me. I'd like to think I know what I'm looking at in the night sky. I was viewing the beginning of the umbral phase of the total lunar eclipse through my 6" Dobsonian, focal ratio f/8. It has a resolution of 0.77 arcseconds. I was using a 25mm Plossl eyepiece which yields AFOV = 1.2° (Actual Field of View) at 48x magnification. The umbral phase of the total eclipse began at 02:44 PDT (local time). I expected overcast skies so I didn't bother to even check conditions until 02:40 PDT. Even though the sky was mostly cloudy the Full Moon was visible through some light haze. I quickly set up on my front yard but then had to move to the driveway. By this time the Moon had already began to move into Earth's shadow (umbra) at about the 8 o'clock position on the Moon's face. I quickly brought the Moon into view through the telescope. The Moon covers about 0.5° in the sky and fills about half of my field of view with the aforementioned setup. I took a few picture with a digital camera just by holding it up to the eyepiece of the telescope. By now it was about 02:52 PDT. I took another look to see if I had to adjust the telescope to keep the entire Moon in view. This must be done every 1-2 minutes to keep it centered. As I looked with the entire Moon still within the field of view I saw a very small black o! bject travel across my field of view in a straight line from right to left very near where the equator would be. This took about 3-4 seconds. There were no lights on the object and it was only visible when passing in front of the moon. A characteristic of a reflecting telescopes is that they invert the object being viewed 180°. So top is bottom and left is right etc. So in reality it was traveling left to right or east to west. It was in focus and was too small to accurately determine any shape. I continued to view the eclipse, adjust the telescope as needed, and take a few more pictures. Then about 10 minutes later I saw the same thing again. By about 3:15 PDT the sky was completely overcast and the Moon was no longer visible. I did some calculations using the distance the Moon was from the Earth at that time 357,422km and the resolution of my telescope 0.77 arcseconds. The smallest object I can see at that distance would be at least 1,330 meters which is 0.82 miles. I have heard other reports where people said what they saw was larger than this. The largest object in orbit is the ISS which is 109 meters and orbits at about 400km from Earth. I thought it could possibly be small satellite thousands of miles high but they all orbit in the opposite direction than this did.

Sherman Oaks, CA
I was driving east on Burbank Blvd. just west of Van Nuys Blvd. The sky was very clear and it was 3:45 in the afternoon. I looked up in the sky and saw a white, perhaps metallic white(?) object hovering in the sky, perhaps about 10 to 15 thousand feet up. It was not moving and just floating there. Something caught my attention far to the left and I realized there was another identical object hovering as well, not moving, seemingly not being buffeted by the wind. As I drove and kept staring at the first object I noticed, while occasionally looking at the other one to see if it moved (neither of them seemed to be moving) more objects appeared behind the first one. When I say behind what I mean is that they seemed to be higher up in the atmosphere, perhaps 40 thousand feet? Again they appeared white or metallic white, perfectly round and while some of them were remaining still a couple did seem to be moving. One seemed to be going up and the other down, then left and right. Going to state right now I may be wrong on this one as I was craning my neck around and also for whatever reason having a hard time recalling exactly what happened because it felt pretty extraordinary and I am a bit dumbfounded as to why no one seemed to notice these things other me...though I suppose a case could be made that most people when driving keep their eyes on the road, which is the safer choice. I pulled over into the parking lot of a small strip mall and hopped out of my car to take some photos. Because of the glare on my phone and the fact that my phones camera isn't great I wasn't quite sure if I was getting photos of anything. I did end up snapping a few photos of both the original object and the one to its right (my left) and while I could see the other objects behind the original one none seem to have been captured on camera. The photos aren't very good. I hopped back into my car and it couldn't have been more than 30 to 45 seconds before I was back on Burbank moving east and in that 45 seconds (maximum) all of the objects seem to have vanished except the original one which was still hovering in place and had not moved the entire time. So honestly I don't think they were drones, because the altitude would mean these were the biggest drones in the world and that they were spherical, definitely not planes. Perhaps weather balloons or some sort of lantern but again the original one never moved just hovered still and I think even if by some miracle there was absolutely no wind up that high the thing would still bob around or something if it was balloon. One thing that happened that I just don't understand was as I hopped out of my car to take photos I noticed to older men in front of a cafe having coffee and talking. As I took the photos I turned to them and asked them to look and tell me what they think. They smiled, said nothing and then just went back to talking about golf. I don't understand why someone would simply be curious enough to even look. So that's it, very odd, no one else seemed to notice it and I'm stumped.

A couple minutes more and a 9th round light moving similar direction trailing behind and disappeared a bit sooner then the prior 8 ufos. It was near the Big Dipper in the sky.

There were several white light orbs flying in a tight and almost perfect formation across the night sky at low altitude. There was a pattern in which each orb would flash its light in my direction, one at a time. They were flying in a direction and would disappear as more would keep appearing. This went on for close to 20 minutes. There were airplanes close by, sharing the airspace and there is an airport close by.

Rancho Mirage, CA
Last Saturday night, May 22, 2021, in Rancho Mirage, California (Palm Springs Desert Area) at 9:44 PM, I was in my backyard, facing 316 degrees North West, standing in the middle of the lawn with my friend. (Please note ~ that my backyard is open with unobstructed views of the sky and it was dark) Then out of nowhere, about thirty miles away, a U shaped group of six white dots were leading a line of three white dots that were spaced exactly apart. Then new white dots kept appearing at the end of the line, one behind the other, from the exact same spot, adding to the line. This white dot line grew to about twenty white dots, some would flare and continued moving North and then disappearing around 344 degrees North. It was almost as if these white dots were being born, like a large dog litter one after another and then getting in line to follow their mother. This sighting took about two minutes total. My friend captured over one minute on his cell phone if ! you'd like to see it.
