Malibu, CA
This is a video I took in Malibu, CA at 6:13pm on Latigo beach. I was looking south, toward LAX. Planes are in the area very often but this stuck out because it looked very different. The object never showed any outlandish movement which made me think it's something like a satellite, but I read that satellites often flicker which I didn’t see at all. I kept zooming in and out hoping the video would show the high speed that this object was traveling. Toward the end a plane passes by and I kept them both in frame to compare speeds. While they seemed to be moving at a similar rate of speed, the object was at a substantially higher elevation well above all the clouds making me believe it is traveling extremely fast. I didn't think it was a plane because I couldn't see wings or anything dark. It was just a white perfectly cigar shaped object cruising by and never flickered. It never tilted or anything mid flight and I also never saw it disappear before my eyes, it just kept going until it was out of view. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Anza Borrego, CA
We were out in the Anza Borrego Desert near Slot Canyon watching the Perseid Meteor shower. At approximately 22:00, we noticed what appeared to be an aircraft with a red navigation light traveling in a SW direction at approximately 5,000ft altitude. No noise was heard. Shortly after, 2 white/gold (white Christmas light color), orb-like objects appeared to be flying alongside the "aircraft"/red light. The orb lights then appeared to chase each other in a circular motion around the red light/"aircraft" and also "danced" back and forth between the front and rear of the red light. At times, the white lights would turn off and appear in a different location. We continued to observe the group of lights traveling in a SW direction as they traveled farther away and higher in altitude. The white orbs were still "dancing" around the red object and chasing each other in completely random zig zag and swirl patterns as far as we could see. Another odd observance was that the lights continued to travel on the same trajectory and never came back down towards the horizon. The lights continued to be visible at a great distance until they finally disappeared approximately 1 hour after first sighting. There were 3 witnesses to this event and none of us had ever seen anything like this before. Photos and videos were taken, however the lights aren't really visible. I also recorded our GPS coordinates, heading indicator, date and timestamps. After searching online, it appears we witnessed a "Foo-Fighter" sighting - almost exactly like the ones seen here: https://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2017/03/two-foo-fighters-following-plane-over.html

Greenbrae, CA
I was taking my dog for a walk at night. We were heading back home towards the east I saw a big star: must have been Saturn or something. And below it was also a star. I looked at it and it started to blick at me as if to say "hello, you are not alone in the universe. We are glad to meet you. We are blinking just for you because we know who you are". It blinked rapidly on and off for about a minute, then went dark. I felt very calm, happy, and at peace.

Mad River, CA
There was a huge blinding light and a loud sound. About 5 little aliens were observed through infrared binoculars hopping off the craft. Aliens were observed sticking needles into family dog. witnesses heard their dog screaming as if it were being killed. On the morning of August 13, 2020, four witnesses observed the dead dog on the ground. Witnesses said dog was smashed. Days before leading up to the evening of August 12, 2020 witnesses observed tracks and paths on the ground. It was assumed the tracks were bear tracks. Upon a closer look, witnesses realized it was not bear tracks. Witnesses reported hearing grass swish and hearing a weird clacking sound. Upon sunrise or shortly after witnesses could see the aliens in a tree. Witnesses shot several rounds at the aliens in the tree and one alien drooped out of the tree and fell down a steep embankment. Witnesses were to freaked out to go down the embankment to see if there was a dead alien laying there. At about 10:00 a.m. on August 13, 2020, when the shooting ended, witnesses said aliens were gone from the tree. Witnesses believe the aliens are still on the property. Witnesses did not hear or see an alien spacecraft leaving the property. Witnesses reported circles in the grass. There are pictures. Due to shear terror and trauma witnesses are inconsolable and are not able to send the pictures right now. Witnesses said it hard to explain exactly what aliens look like. Aliens were described as being 3'tall. Witnesses heard a rustling noise underneath their home and believe the aliens were trying to get in the home. Witnesses and residents have left their home and will not be staying there tonight. Observers are farmers and the property owner has lived there for 25 years. Witnesses are not on drugs or alcohol and have no mental health issues. Witnesses are not convicted felons.

Waterford, CA
Me and my Mom were relaxing in the hottub Looking up at the sky hoping to see a shooting star. There were alot of Tall trees to the left of us, and from over the trees we saw one bright light, at first my mom thought it was a satelite until two more bright lights followed behind it making a triangle shape. Me and my mom could clearly see the shape of a triangle in the sky, the triangle was darker than the sky and you could see the sky behind it. The triangle had three bright lights on each corner of it. The Triangle slowly cruised over the night sky without a sound, then the triangle stopped and proceeded to hover up into the sky until it was out of view. From the time me and my mom saw the triangle until it was out of view was about 2 minutes. It was an experience I will never forget.

Blue light, saucer maybe cylinder shaped. A bright blue that faded into lighter blue/ white . Driving West on 84 in Livermore and saw it on my left hand side . Too low and large to be a plane or a toy. Seamlessly moved quickly on straight line and vanished.

Pasadena, CA
I noticed the UFO hovering in midair and thought it was a balloon. On further inspection I saw that it was not in fact a balloon, but a plane-like shape. The object hovered in midair for a few seconds longer and then started to slowly fly away. It was moving much slower than a plane would. The object continued in the same direction and eventually moved out of sight behind a tree.

Fresno, CA
On August 5, 2020 at after 7 PM in my backyard in Fresno,Ca I had my Panasonic HC V 180 Camcorder when I noticed what looked to be a star like object moving and coming from the W direction then I started videotaping it. As it kept the same speed with no sound it then made a (R) turn heading South. The next town over would be Fowler. I tried my best to keep my camera steady. I noticed it was changing shape and colors. It was pink and green. A man in L.A. in 2015 witnessed the same object I did. I also have a video still of the object. During this week in August was during the full moon. Yet, I cannot remember if the moon was out that night. The night sky was very clear I heard what I thought were two Helicopters but, unable to see them. By this time, I had gone back in the house. I was the only witness. The object was high. Unknown how high exactly. Probably as high as a small plane would go. Thank You MUFON Video Case # 110752

Little Lake, CA
My boyfriend and I were, and still are, perplexed by what we witnessed. There were no other cars on the road, and no visible houses on that section of the highway. The crafts moved, and dropped over the ridge of the mountain in a way that I cannot explain, and no amount of research has led to any sort of explanation. These objects were not drones, and they were far too low to the ground to be satellites, planes, or helicopters. They moved with intent, and hovered silently over the open field.

Cloverdale, CA
UFO sighting over Cloverdale California Tuesday August 4th 12:23am. History of observer: • 56 years of age male, Senior Optical Engineer • Designer of high resolution astronomical imaging systems • Amateur astronomer and Astrophotographer for 41 years. Planetary observation session was interrupted by an object that was not easy to dismiss as an aircraft, satellite, meteor or man-made space debris. Observed was a -5 magnitude star-like object traveling from SE to NW at a speed slightly faster than the a typical fly over of the International Space Station. First spotted SE of the Sturgeon full moon passing and travel NW exactly between the moon and Saturn. It rose higher into the sky traveling at a constant velocity to an altitude of 38º to 42º above the "due south" horizon before its startling disappearance. What was unusual about this object: • Just before it disappeared from the sky it rapidly accelerated for 500 to 600 milliseconds. • The rate of its extinguishing light after the rapid acceleration was startling. Not at all like a typical satellite darkening into the earth's shadow or tumbling in sunlight. • Sighting occurred just after midnight and a satellite could not have been illumined by the sun. • Color was white to slightly yellow and had a slight haze surrounding its star-like appearance. • Westerly orbiting satellites are very unusual. • To verify it was not local aircraft out of Santa Rosa or San Francisco a flight tracker app was checked within seconds of the sighting. No aircraft were in the air between SFO and the Oregon border. He notified his sister with a text to verify time, location and document the event. This was only the second object the observer could not identify over his observing history.

I was walking my dog this evening, like I've done every evening for 20 years in my neighborhood. Tonight as we were walking on platanus Drive, looking directly due north, there was a red oval glowing sphere. We get lots of military aircraft flying from camp Pendleton heading east so we're used to seeing all kinds of stuff, but this was just hovering with a red solid light, then it would go off periodically for a second or two, then get bright red again. Looked very large in the distance not something up close like a drone or anyting. Then it just disappeared

Irvine, CA
On the evening of Monday, August 3, 2020 my son and I stepped outside to enjoy a glorious full moon rising above the trees down our street. At 8:55pm the skies were clear and the temperature was 70° F. My son noticed what appeared to be star above us beginning to move across the sky in a due easterly directly. To be clear, this wasn’t an airplane and didn’t emit the standard FAA blinking light patterns typically associated with commercial aircraft. We both observed the object. As it moved across the sky, I mentioned to my son, “that doesn’t appear to be an airplane.” He agreed. What we both observed can best described is an object resembling a star moving across the night sky, however it definitely wasn’t a shooting star. After approximately ten seconds the object began fading in luminosity, not due to its increasing distance, but as if it was intentionally being faded by a dimmer mechanism. It then vanished completely .

On August second around midnight my daughter and I were sitting on a dock on Tahoe lake. We were admiring the full moon and Venus. Out of nowhere we saw a bright white light appear next to Venus. It was on the right side and about the same size and appearance as Venus. It stayed there a couple minutes, then backed up. It took off very fast away from us behind Venus. As it took off, it zigzagged up above and to the left of Venus. Soon after it turned red. It kept speeding away unlike any speed I have ever observed. The red dot became tinier and tinier until it disappeared. It was the strangest thing we’ve ever seen. We’d like to know what it was.

I started recording a light that appeared to be around 34.167666,-117.862964. I described the video what i saw because it kept disappearing and reappear. After reviewing the video I observed a flash of light zoom into space and curve around frame :19 to :24. That surprised me, I then slowed the video and filtered night vision. When I did that I saw something appear out of thin air zoom about 45 degrees (granted this is in slow motion). Then turn 180 degrees the 45 degrees again then zoom into space leaving a trail of light and curve into space. Then a friend of mine noticed on the original video at frame :29 and :30 you here a sonic boom then the orb or light disappears from the top of the ridge. Granted the light beam had already disappeared into space at frame :24. Then the boom around :29 and the orb disappears. I have the video and everyone is shocked what we saw.

My fiance and I while stargazing saw a small circular light moving downward and flashing, then it split into 2 while stopped, then a 3rd appeared, then they all flashed a few times, moved side to side, then 2 disappeared and the 3rd moved quickly southwest and belowthe horizon.
