La Selva Beach, CA
Looking at stars over Monterey Bay. Saw a very bright red light moving erratically near another white star. Appeared to be dancing in the night sky! It suddenly lurched rapidly in a southerly direction. Then it moved up straight up and then back and forth. Tried to get my phone to capture video but it moved so fast all of a sudden. Seemed to move south very rapidly. It then faded out of view.

July 31st, 2020, At about 3:38 pm. I was cleaning my pool in my backyard when one of my children came out to see if the pool was ready (I was already out there for about 30 minutes) the time was about 3:38pm when something caught my attention in the sky above us. There was this white sphere the was just hovering there at the high noon, in the sky. I first got my cellphone to take pictures then record video. But after a few minutes I needed something better to get a closer look at the object. I told my child to get my high zoom digital camera and then I started afterwards to take pictures and videos. There was one main white sphere/egg object, multiple small shiny objects moving or shooting around the sky randomly, another white sphere like object but small and one white/greenish sphere. The main object would stay in one spot for a few minutes then would move at a creeping pace then stop again. It did that for the rest of the sighting. At one time there was a shiny small object going down next to the main obj! ect then make a 90 degree turn upward. After that it made another slight turn then disappeared. I was recording at that point and the camera went out of focus. It kept moving west from the east towards to horizon (sunset area). At about 6:20pm before I went inside the house the main object disappeared at about 30 degrees from the horizon to the west. All of that happened in that time frame. My whole family was witness to the event.

I have pictures and videos. We live in the Coachella Valley, a friend first spotted in Desert Hot Springs, then another friend spotted it in La Quinta and we see it now in Palm Desert. We are a small valley. It just hoovered in one spot only moving up down, to the right and left in small spurts. It’s been two hours now and it’s still hoovering. We’re trying to drive closer to it because we think it is hoovering over our Palm Springs airport. When we looked at it thru binoculars it looked like a white glowing orb, I mean perfectly round , the best thing I could describe it to is as if it were a tiny little moon. Clear blue skies out only a couple clouds at a high of 120 degrees

I pulled over while driving because I saw this, it was not moving at all, just hovering absolutely stationary @ about 500'. I got a picture, then I had to move on due to traffic. I would estimate the space it took up to be about the size of a typical UPS box truck. It was a deep black color with a white aura around it and there was a faint white object positioned about 11 o'clock from it. No lights seen. Absolutely no movement at all. I send this now because I realized the object I saw looks just like the "gimbal" object sighting the military released, (both images attached)... and, I just learned of the existence your site and wanted to contribute.

Malibu, CA
My friends and I decided to take a late night beach trip, and we arrived at the farthest, northern end of Zuma Beach right around 1:37AM on July 28th, 2020. The tide was extremely far out, so we walked very far out and were enjoying the sand, the waves, and stars. Around 3:00 or 3:30AM, my boyfriend noticed a craft with lights come from behind him, heading west from the east, and then hovered infront of us, along the shoreline, above the ocean. He asked me what those lights were, and I noticed some lights, but waved it off as being a plane headed to LAX. He insisted that I look harder, because he believed the craft to be much closer than a plane would be, and he insisted that it was lingering infront of us. I squinted and really focused on the lights that I was seeing, and was shocked to realize that there was in fact something floating above the water's edge, above us, and it was much too close to be an airplane, and much too large to be some kind of drone. I could see two round, peach colored lights, almost a creamy light-red color, sitting right next to each other, and then somewhere close behind them, there was a white light that was flashing very, very slowly. It was hard to see a complete definition of the craft, but I could see that the oval outline of it, and area surrounding the lights, was a darker shade than the night sky around it. My boyfriend said that it was a helicopter, and I was skeptical, but as I focused in on the craft, it seemed to be hovering above the coast line as the police helicopters do during the day. We slowly came to the startling conclusion that it was a police helicopter, and began backing up, meanwhile never taking our eyes off of the craft. I ! was about to call for my two friends, who were slightly infront of us, slightly west, and then I suddenly realized that there was no sound. There was no sound of helicopter blades. I said that to my boyfriend, immediately as I thought it, and shock hit him, his mouth dropped, and he looked scared. We realized that one of our friends infront of us, was looking at the craft, and pointing. I called to her and asked if she saw it too. She said she did but had no idea what it was, and was trying to figure out if her eyes were playing tricks on her. She couldn't understand why the lights looked like they were so close. She asked me if I thought it was a satellite, and I pointed out that it was hovering right above us, and slightly infront of us, and she said, "oh, is it a helicopter?" and I repeated to her, that there was no sound. She had the same reaction as my boyfriend, that realization that there was no sound, made her mouth drop, and she looked shocked and scared. Our other friend, who was standing with the girl I was speaking with, was focusing on us talking, and then once she realized what was going on, she started wildly looking around, in the wrong direction, but me, my boyfriend, and my friend who saw the lights, looked right back at it. It seemed to be! slowly heading south, along the coast line, and at this point, the lights made it look like it was some sort of a triangular shape. I looked away, and made eye contact with my boyfriend, and when we looked back, the lights were completely gone. This was a very clear night, and there was not any fog or cloud covering. The lights just vanished, and they had previously been right there, slowly heading south. Two bright, creamy light-red lights, and a blinking white light just vanished into the clear sky. None of it made sense. The fourth girl that was down in the water with us, did not see the lights of the craft. We then realized that this girl's sister, the fifth member of our party, was still alone, higher up on the beach, where the sand was dry, and as we walked over to her, she was walking towards us. She immediately asked us if we saw the lights too. A chill went down my spine. She said that it came from behind us, from the east, just like what my boyfriend saw, and she said that it was a triangular shape, and when it flew above us, it had green lights lining the sides of the dark, triangular shaped craft. Once it was ahead of us, above the water, there were fewer lights, and the colors changed. She watched as it hovered above us, and came down slightly, and then slowly left, before disappearing. My boyfriend agreed that the craft looked like it was about to land. I saw it hovering infront of us, slowly going south, and then hovering north slightly, before going south very slowly again, hove! ring in place, and then leaving south, before disappearing. The girl who was down in the ocean with my boyfriend and I, she agreed that it looked triangular in shape, but that it looked oval at first to her too. We did not have our phones out when this occurred, but I did draw a picture of exactly what I saw immediately when I returned home. I will send it in an email. I began looking into what I saw, and I quickly realized that UFO spotting in Malibu, and the surrounding area, is extremely common. For this reason, I felt it was important to share my story. This was my first encounter with anything like this. Let me know if you have questions, but I feel as though I have been extremely detailed here.

I called my son in to look at them and he believes that we caught a small spacecraft leaving a plasma trail behind it. He noted that the craft itself acted similar to aircraft in how the trail went bright, then faded as the object moved. Then we got curious and started calculating where the craft started to where it ended. We made a rough guess that the craft was at an excess speed of 4500 mph...going about Mach 5.85. The area is Lone Pine and the camera is facing towards the North East.

Lancaster, CA
Last night on July 26, 2020, my wife and I decided to head out to the desert south of the town of Mojave to observe the comet. We found a great spot just north of Lancaster and about 5 miles south of Rosamond on a small wadi on West Avenue B just off of Sierra Highway. It was a very clear evening with just some haze in the west. We set up an evening camp just in time to watch the sun set. At about 8:05pm or so, as we were digging into dinner, my wife said “Look at that, out to the west”. I looked and saw what almost appeared to be a dark cloud among some sunset haze. I looked closer through the small binoculars we brought with us, and it looked like a wide pyramid, with a top that almost billowed (may have been the clouds/haze). It appeared to just hover in the sky, about 20 degrees up from the horizon. We used a mountain range between us and the object to observe. It never moved or changed shape as normal clouds do. It definitely looked out of plac! e and like a firm, fixed object. I saw what looked to be two small aircraft moving around the shape (just below it and moving right to left). My wife did not see these two smaller objects, despite looking through the binoculars. We observed for about 4 minutes, and then it seemed to “disappear”. It may have been from the haze/clouds. Then about 2-3 minutes later, again, my wife said—“Look! Over in that direction!” I looked over to the northwest, just to the west of the town of Rosamond, and I saw a black orb just above the horizon. It was moving west to east, about 300 feet over the horizon and descending slowly. It was moving at around 300 knots estimated (I am a retired Navy Fighter Pilot and civilian pilot with nearly 4,000 hours, so it is my best guess). It was about as big as a Jeep Wrangler and moving silently. It appeared to fly over the town of Rosamond. It never slowed, only descended slightly to about 100 feet above the ground after it passed well behind us. As it moved past, it appeared not only as a black ball, but also almost hexagonal, like the child toy that you used to plug different shapes into. There were no lights that I could see until it was directly behind us, then a reddish/white steady light (not anti-collision or position lights like on a normal aircraft). Since it appe! ared to fly over Mojave and the airport, my guess is that it was about five miles to the north of us. Then, we lost track. I went to my Jeep to get some things out of the back, and my wife called and said that the first large object was back in the west and that now there were two of them. I looked through the binoculars, and sure enough, the original object was in the same exact spot that it was before and flanked by another similar object. We watched them until the light faded, roughly another ten minutes or so. In their place once it the light had faded enough where they were no longer visible, we saw a single distinctive single light right at their exact location. This light remained for about 15 minutes. We left our evening camp spot at around 9:45pm with nothing else significant happening (aside from a pretty good view of the comet).

Sunday 7/26/20 at 16:15 hrs I went out into my front yard and heard the sound of an aircraft that I recognized as the sound of a military aircraft from my back ground as a flight attendant for MAC flights.I did not see an aircraft. Seconds later, I heard a second military aircraft pass overhead. This second aircraft was visible to me, moving form West to East. It quickly disappeared into the horizon. Seconds after the disappearance, at a much lower altitude (2,000 ft?), I saw a long thin, light silver baseball bat shaped object descending slowly at approximately a 45 degree angle. I lost sight of the "bat"beyond the roof lines of my neighborhood. I stood still waiting for the sound of a crash-which never occurred. Immediately afterwards a third jet passed overhead, again moving from West to East. This jet was visible to me for seconds as it too passed into and disappeared into the horizon.

A huge, black triangular shape craft making no noise, it had huge bright round lights on the bottom, and flew just above the tree tops over my vehicle at a very slowly. It was flying from the north to the south. I stopped in the middle of the road, put my head out the window and watch it fly over. I don’t know how it stayed in the air flying so slowly. How it made no noise. Or what kind of aircraft it was. I have not seen it again.

Shape: Triangle Sound: None - Dead quiet no wildlife Visible color/Markings: 0 markings, Black Recount: I was watching for the comet neowise I believe it was, I came across a patch of sky blacked out in a perfect triangle. The edges of the shape refracted the stars, imagine chromatic aberration and distorted/difuesed stars that somehow stop existing past the edge while appearing curved into nothing. There was no noise. There was no abnormalities aside from literally negative space where there should have been stars. I looked at the clock at 9:45 that night, look back at it and somehow it was 11:45. My attention to detail is extremely high ask my col from rotc, I dont miss details. Period. Not saying I was abducted but I am a loss of what I saw and my missing time. I have had Urinary issues since and the doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong. Similar to the missing time I experienced as a child when in the corn field with my father who's former Navy Nuclear Submariner and sister many years ago, no one was able to find me then I turned the corner and was found after a long time im told. I guess they like me if UAPs are the cuase. I do often get random I guess flashes or singular memory of looking at a short grey face with big black eyes but that could be just a memory from or movie or something thats stuck in my head but I dont know its all very confusing for me because I cant recall any movie ive seen like that. I get a fear emotion but like I wait to be told how it affects me at the same time like hesitant emotional response. Its rare i have that kind of memory and I am doing my best to avoide sounding like a conspiracy nut but its the truth. I am reporting this to my government because it's my responsibility to as a citizen and a patriot to provide my government with intelligence although it be late. Late due to me not wanting to sound or appear a nut as well as not wanting to waste my governments time with inactionable intelligence. I love science, facts are food. Beale Air Force base is located north east of event location within 30 miles I believe, it clearly evaded radar. This is the truth with all details I can remember, if aliens are real I would like to meet them, fear is a response to the unknown which can quickly turn to interest and appreciation. Thank you for your time.

While standing on my deck in the back country with my 2 sons and a friend my oldest son was looking up at the pine trees blowing when he said what the hell. We all looked up and there was 3 circled objects about 10 thousand ft I’m guessing in a triangle not moving at all. Watched them and tried get cell phone pics but to high. They stayed there for about an hour and a half. So we kept looking up to see if they would move but they never did. One time we looked up after a while and they were gone. It was a great experience. But don’t have a clue what they were.

A very bright blue ball caught my peripheral vision while in my backyard late this night, and it was moving in a western/downward trajectory; what seemed not terribly high in the night sky. When I glanced at it to get a full view, it continued to fly past towards our treeline at a continued velocity (seemed slower than a fireball or meteor or shooting star) and didn't seem to break up or change shape. It was a bright white-blue color, with a small trail behind it. It vanished quickly from my vantage point with trees all around, but was the largest and brightest and bluest object I've ever seen that low and that slow moving. My husband was with me and only caught a small glance at it...

Me, My husband,Father in law, and 12yr old son were sitting outside our home looking at our zodiac signs in the sky, when all a sudden we spotted a huge light that came towards us at first we thought it might have been a drone until it came right over us and it was a triangle craft with three lights in each corner one light was solid red while the other 2 were whitish-yellow. It made no sound at all and it was about 60ft wide huge craft. It moved side to side, up and down, hovering over the 99 highway then would circle around our neighborhood again our neighbors also were watching. We followed the craft on foot and in our vehicle. After it got to the salida area it shot out of sight so fast we were in shock. I posted videos of it on youtube if interested called modesto ca ufo sighting under melissa&jonathan helton.

Drove to the Sierra Nevada foothills around sun set to get some pictures of the comet. Just after dark set in we noticed a satellite object traveling over head. It appeared to have an unsteady flight. Wavering and slowing. It came to a stop. My sister was able to get 3 pictures of the object. All 3 pictures had a different appearance. On 2 of the pictures, the object appears to have a hole in it. The third picture has structure to it.I guess it could be a satellite, but I do not know of a satellite that would come to a complete stop. I will include the 3 photo's for your examination.

At approximately 17:00 Hrs. on Saturday July 18, 2020 Spotted a bright object hovering nearly directly overhead at Latitude 037 deg. 19' 34.0062 N, Longitude -120 deg.-28' -49.7484 W. Looked at object with Binoculars and it appeared to be a bright ring of light. Called a family member who is approximately 4 miles away at Latitude 037deg. 19' 52.0422 N , Longitude -120 deg. -28 -44.5434 W. He also looked at the objected with binoculars and identified it as having a bright ring. The object remained in place as the sun and began to dim as the sun approached the horizon. As the object dimmed I began to see a bright flashing white light in the center of the ring. At about 5 minutes after sunset the ring had completely faded away and the flashing light was no longer visible.

This was the 3rd day in a row. The 1st was a white circle that didn’t move. The 2nd was like this one - black and oval. It moved quickly and vanished. The 3rd day is this one - it came closest. And if it wasn’t for a slow motion camera capturing my art I wouldn’t have witnessed it. It flies by quickly but the shape is oval black just like the day before.
