Pacifica, CA
Observed bright red circular shape over the Pacific Ocean hovering for at least 30 minutes, visible to naked eye. It was very clear night with no clouds and the stars very clearly visible. The object was brighter than any stars. There were a couple of lights from ships visible on the horizon in that sector, which are normally present in the area. The object appeared above them and was hovering, or maybe moving very slowly. It was slightly flickering, but not blinking. If it was helicopter-sized, it would be at least a couple of miles off shore. Several pictures and short video are available.

Garden Valley, CA
The sky was dark, clear and full of stars and satellites. A large craft with bright white fast flashing lights, then blinking bright red, then green lights, making no noise was flying from the west to the north. As the craft flashed the bright white lights another set of white flashing lights flashed quickly a short distance right behind the craft. As if it was one giant craft or a second craft but only the lights could be seen not a craft itself; the lights behind the craft were not as bright or as many and did not flash in a normal pattern of flash. As the craft or crafts got closer North the lights on the front craft stopped flashing and then the second craft’s lights lit up and flashed looking like the first craft did. The first craft lights then reappeared and two sets of flashing lighted identical crafts could be distinguished. At this point in the sky the crafts were spaced farther apart then when originally seen. Then the first craft stayed on! a course to the North, went to a higher altitude in the sky, got a distance away, then seemed to stop in the sky looking like a blinking satellite in the sky. The second craft turned more to the west at a sharp angle and a lower altitude. At the same time a third craft appeared from the direction the second craft was going; seemingly from out of nowhere. The third craft had the same white, red and green flashing lights; it crossed the flight line of the first two crafts and headed to the east, climbed to an even higher altitude in the sky than the first craft. The third craft then makes a turn to the south and disappears.

Signal Hill, CA
I was walking my dog in Signal Hill, Ca. which is a small city atop a hill which overlooks the City of Long Beach, Ca. From my vantage point, I could see into the ocean and I was looking in a S/W direction. At that time, I observed an extremely bright white light, a bit lower than normal aircraft altitude (maybe 4000’) and not adhering to what would be the the normal LAX or LBC flight path, which caught my attention. The light was over the ocean, appeared to flicker in intensity, much brighter than a star and the sun was still out at the time, but nearing sunset. It was possibly off the coast of Huntington Beach, Ca. As I watched, the object appeared to be completely motionless for about 6 minutes, then the light slowly dimmed and went out over the course of about 4 seconds. At that point, I could no longer see anything in the area. I don’t know how long it had been there before I saw it. Just looked up and there it was.

Aguanga, CA
I went outside to lock up my shed. Moving east to west, appeared three large, white lights, slowly moving closer in my direction. Before passing over and south of my location, I could see three objects, triangular in shape, dark in color with pulsating red lights on the v-shaped wings. There was no sound at this point. I ran back in the house, I grabbed my wife's phone off the charging doc, told her to follow me and ran out the front door. At this point , the three aircraft were slighly west of my home and moving Northwest, deeper into Riverside County. They used engines because I could now hear the engine thrust after passing by. I was able to capture a video but only the lights can be seen and not the design of these objects. First sighting for me.

Mount Shasta, CA
At the Bunny Flat parking lot on Mount Shasta, a woman I had just met alerted me to look into the night sky (it was about 5:30 PM and the sun had set about 1/2 hour or so before). What we saw was about 20 star-like objects moving from the east to the west. They were moving faster than satellites that I have seen before and several of them were in a v or triangle formation. There were a couple rouge ones too that were going west to east and then one that was going north to south. But the general movement was in unison and not in a straight line. It almost looked the stars just started moving to the west and then stopped or vanished. All the Starlink satellite info that I have read says that they move in a line formation but these weren't. There were several of us that saw this and we were all just visiting the mountain for the day.

Lathrop, CA
I was heading upstairs at 10am when I spoted a light outside the second floor window. I saw that it was hovering in the air and had movement so I called for my wife and my brother to come see it.I took a picture and called my friend in the phone to come upstairs. We watched it move North West slowly but changing speeds and altitude. It dimmed the further it got from us until it disappeared after about 1min of me catching sight of it. My friend got upstairs and missed the first one. 1 min or 2 later a second one appears in the same spot hovers and then starts to move West. It slowly moves and has bigger changes in altitude towards the end as it also dimms away, lasting about 30sec. Winds were 3.4MPH South East that night.

Vacaville, CA
Dec04, 2020, 1813hrs. Vacaville, CA. While walking my dog, I looked up to see 75-100 lights moving from West to East across the sky, parallel to HWY 80 in California. Approx 5-10 miles North of it. The lights, from my angle, were the same size and brightness as Saturn is right now. They were traveling at slow speed. They were in-line formation. For the most part, they were almost the all the same distance from one another, in line, for the exception of 4-5 which were above or below the line. They traveled at a speed similar to a small-engine plane. By the time they flew over (approximately) central Vacaville they disappeared one by one, once they arrived to the exact same location in the sky. The Travis Air-Force Base is close-by, and so is the Nut Tree Private Airport. We are used to many different aircraft here, and have NEVER seen this phenomenon. No other aircraft was seen in the sky at this time. This was witnessed by myself(walking my dog) as well as my family(from my house around the corner)

Hollister, CA
We were walking through our backyard which leads to an alley that is very dark. I always look up at the stars. I looked up & gasped, & my 25 year old daughter looked up & directly above our heads were 15-20 craft, moving quickly, in an exact straight line. It looked like they were round with just one large round light on the bottom. They were absolutely silent. We watched them until we could no longer see them, just a matter of minutes. She got two pictures on her iphone. I am emailing them to you.

Valley Glen, CA
I was coming out of my parked car in my apartment parking lot when one of my neighbors was outside looking up at the sky. He asked me if I could see the lights? I looked up and at first, glance only saw a star but then looked again where he was pointing. I saw several orange lights perfectly lined up together moving across the sky slowly. It was hard to tell if they were separate or riding together on the same craft. It moved slowly across the sky and then faded away disappearing from sight completely. We both agree this was the strangest thing we have ever seen in the sky ever. It did not have the look of a plane or helicopter which I have seen many of those these lights were different. The lights were not bright or flashing. They had a dim glow to them and it almost seemed like it was hidden and then faded away. No clouds in the sky or anything it was a dark, clear sky.

Arroyo Grande, CA
I was meeting up with my daughter after she left work, to drop off my 4 year old grandson. We always meet in a secluded side road off the 101 Freeway and Los Berros Road off ramp. There are very few lights in this area so I told my grandson we should get out of the car to look at all the stars since it was so dark out. As we looked up into the sky there was a "string" of lights traveling fast in a NW direction. I quickly tried to count them and there must have been over 20 lights. All in a straight row; evenly spaced going across the sky. I tried to grab a video with my very out-dated phone, but NOTHING should up when I played it back. The straight "string" of lights looked like a row of cars that were traveling on a one lane highway; equally spaced apart; traveling at a high rate of speed. No sound at all. My grandson said, "That's weird" and I agreed. I am a 69 year old woman and I do not drink or take any drugs and I have never seen anything like that!

Joshua tree, CA
We had just got home around 5:50 pm. As I got off the car I looked up and said the stars are shining bright tonight. As I continued to look I noticed a formation of lights that suddenly appeared from the east moving northwest. I said look what is that and my daughter, her friend, and my fiancé came back to see and we just stared. There must have been 20-30 of them one right after the other appearing and then disappearing. They looked as if stars where on an escalator. There was no sound of any kind.

Chatsworth, CA
We witnessed 8 lights flying in a straight line/formation from west to east over Chatsworth CA. The lights were “white”, could have been mistaken for stars, satellites or commercial aircraft, except that they were moving together, exact same speed, and maintained spacing. Cassiopeia was the most distinct constellation in our view. They appeared to move toward Cassiopeia, west to east, then disappear in a coordinated manner upon reaching it. After they were gone, there were 2 “Free moving” lights — one which crossed through Cassiopeia from North to South, and another which was east of the constellation, yet also moving north to south.

Witnesses to the sighting were myself age 51 (Fire Alarm System Inspector), Dad age 81 (Sales executive in aircraft bearings industry and Step Mom age 66 (HR for satellite parts manufacturer). Sighting was 122xxx Rios Rd, San Diego, California. We had arrived home from dinner at 18:00 driving two separate cars. My Dad and I pulled into the driveway and got out while my Step Mom was already inside. I was looking up at the the sky because it was a beautiful clear night. I noticed one round dim light that was above me traversing the sky. Object was not blinking and moved at a steady pace in one direction. Object appeared to be higher than a plane and I thought it could be a satellite. Within 10 seconds I noticed two more objects exhibiting the same behavior but moving in different directions. I felt the speed could have been similar to what you would see with a plane but the objects did not appear to be conventional aircraft due to lack of blinking lights and a! ltitude. I witnessed these lights for approximately 1 minute when my step mother came out of the house and noticed a row of approximately 10 to 12 lights, travelling west to east, about 60 degrees from the horizon and north of the front of the house. At this point all 3 of us witnessed these lights and we felt that we were observing something unusual. I watched the lights for about 10 seconds when I attempted to use my phone for video but could not capture the lights so, I went back to watching them. Some audio was captured of our reaction. Lights were dim, white and appeared to be evenly spaced approximately 3 to 4 feet between each one from our perspective. The row of lights did not appear to be one object. They appeared to be the size of small to medium stars. As we were looking to the north from the driveway, the lights travelled slightly left (north west) of us and as they reached slightly to the right (north east) of us, one by one, each light disappeared in order sta! rting with the furthest light on the right until it got to the! last on e. The total approximate time one light would travel to the time it disappeared was approximately 8 seconds. No aircraft were observed in the area during the account. In my opinion, the lights were definitely not due to atmospheric condition, reflection, flares, balloons or any known aircraft. We have never observed anything like it.

San Jose, CA
I live in San Jose, California and today is December 2, 2020. I went outside of backyard thinking that I have not seen a satellite in months. I was watching at the sky around 6:00 pm (was already dark) and few minutes later I started seeing 3 or 4 satellite going in different directions. After minutes not seeing a satellite I started seeing a row of 3 or 4 flying light objects in a single file and I was surprised that more flying objects light were traveling from West to East. I was thinking that I was feeling dizzy but I was not and started counting 6, 7, 8, 9 and I was standing 4 feet from our bedroom windows and was thinking to call my wife to come outside but I felt like frozen and I was not able to talk. Finally I counted 22 flying objects lights but I know I missed I least 3 more flying objects lights that flew from west to east across my house up here. They were in a single file and going really fast. And the last flying object followed at a different distance that the others. I know those flying light objects were not satellites because these objects were moving fasters compared to the satellite. Unfortunately I only had my cell phone that was not going to be able to capture the event.

Watsonville, CA
I was looking at Mars and I was also watching a satellite passing by. I always do, but all the sudden a bunch of lights start to passing by. From my location, they were coming from South to East, about 70° or so above the horizon, there’s a lot of them,too many to count,I see them appear and disappear. it’s a short travel. I calculate that the whole thing lasted about three minutes. from the moment I started to see them,it took me about 30 seconds to decide if I go inside the house and take my cell phone, so I did run inside the house took my cell. My recording is almost two minutes long, so I think altogether it was more or less three minutes. I was looking at my recording but I cannot see anything other than Mars, however I’m very happy that today, I find out, throug the Internet, that other people saw the same thing, that’s just great to know!. The experience to me it was disturbing and exciting. Thank you for Reading my message:)

Chula Vista, CA
On Wednesday December 02, 2020 at approximately 1744 hours while working out at Norman Park in Chula Vista, California located at Del Mar Ave and F Street I observed 20 to 30 lights that looked like the size and brightness of satellites you would see in the night sky. The objects were traveling above me in a straight line spaced evenly apart. This was observed for 1 minute flying from southwest to northeast and another male person working out also observed the lights. The park lights were bright which made it hard to record, but when observing the recording you are able to barely see the lights in a single row. The other male witness called his family (3 members) telephonically and they walked to the park a few minutes later but the lights were gone. However we did spot 2 more lights traveling in the same direction and both instances were recorded on an IPhone X.

Phoenix, CA
On Thanksgiving night in Phoenix, AZ at around 8:05 to 8:12 local time, we saw multiple orange lights that resembled fireballs. We first noticed 5 in a row that were in a straight line. And then from there we saw 2 more emerge into the night sky, then an additional 2 more after that (for a total of 9 orange lights) and they originated from the west, moving east. The lights were bright from the start then slowly began to dim and faded quickly into the night sky, then became virtually invisible to the human eye within about 10 seconds.

A long string of lights, either one long craft with a dark center section or two separate craft, moving NNE to SSW over and along a mountain ridge. I’d estimate I was 12 miles from it. Like a well-lit train moving leisurely across the sky.

I have been followed by lights for a while now, all throughout the US, even when I was in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. I do not always see them, but they seem to be in all my pictures. I have pictures of the lights following me, which jump from frame to frame. I am unsure as to what these things are, but it scares me that they are always watching me.
