Two pulsing orbs flying low..seem to be chasing each other. Same exact altitude, pulsing in synchronized timing . Came from the west moving extremely fast to the East. I have video, in the video the light seems to be transparent compared to other lights in the frame. Friend who lives 12 miles to the west of me saw exact same formation flying low enough to be obscured by her neighbor's house.

Riverside, CA
On the night of July 16th, a quarter before 10 PM, my friends and I were sitting on the roof of our car on an isolated hill to look at the city lights when we spotted a strange light in the skyline. It was a small, ovular shape emitting a whitish-yellow glow right above a set of hills in the distance. We all watched in silence for a couple minutes and noted that it couldn’t possibly be a plane as we saw many passing above in the sky. However, as we were watching the light, it disappeared right before our eyes, almost as if a giant, dark blanket was thrown over it. While we thought it was strange, we weren’t convinced it was an alien craft. But, about ten minutes after the light disappeared, we decided to head out and drive to a new overlook location higher up. As we were driving to the new location, towards the hills where we saw the light, it reappeared in the sky, this time much closer to us. This time we saw that whatever it was wasn’t attached to a radio tower, building, or anything else; the ovular craft was simply levitating. And this time, much quicker, the light disappeared again.

Lancaster, CA
This object look like a fireball coming towards us from the West in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, it looked like it was coming straight at us at first and then was going straight across the sky in front of us not at a very high altitude, looking like it was burning and sparking the entire time it was in our site it looks to be maybe 50 miles to the north of us, and as I stated it came all the way from the Western Horizon as far as we could see and we watched it pass in front of us all the way to the Eastern Horizon as far away as we could see until it was out of sight. But it maintained the orange sparking Fireball round shape the entire time and we watch this or at least 15 to 20 seconds. The object was more orangish red in the middle and a sparking yellow orange around the object. I would really like someone to contact me so I can speak with somebody about this.

7 of us were out on the driveway ,our contractor looked up into the sky not quite directly overhead and spotted a round doughnut shaped object . It wasn't moving . It was an orange/yellow color which we figured was probably a reflection from the sun setting. I live near the beach . We got the binoculars and we were all able to see it clearly...there was a distinct hole in the middle. The inversion layer clouds were starting to roll in ..so after about 5 minutes of clear view with and without the binoculars, it wasn't able to be seen.

Hanford, CA
At approximately 2125 I saw a large, bright diamond shaped object traveling south to north at a high rate of speed . I looked at the object through binoculars and it was too bright too see anything other buit the most brilliant white light I’ve ever seen. It appeared to slow down as if it was aware I was looking at it. I felt a slight wave of anxiousness, and then it seemed to pick up speed again and kept traveling in a north eastern direction. I then, went back inside of my house for about 5 minutes and when I came back outside it was gone, as if it had never been there. I don’t believe this was a plane as there were no blinking lights and the rapid rate of travel.

Midway City, CA
I was walking my dog at 4:08am and noticed a fast moving object in the sky. I stared at it trying to see any type of blinking red blue lights. Nothing but what looked orange. I started to record it with my phone. I got a few seconds of the object in the air, and it went through some dark clouds. I kept my eyes and camera in the location and noticed something black descending coming out of the clouds. The lights were shut off. The way is was descending was also not normal. I have never seen or heard of any flight vehicle shutting off its lights in midair while descending in mid air. Wish it was easier to send my video to someone who knows more about this stuff

Atwater, CA
A V shaped craft with 3 red lights on each point, flew silently from the North West going in a South Eastern direction. I watched it for approximately 30 seconds before losing sight of it behind a group of trees. We are well acquainted with the sights and sounds of many types of aircraft coming in and out of the nearby (retired) Castle AFB. This was not at all like any of the usual aircraft in the area. The altitude was that of a small plane, but it was completely silent. Immediately after observing this craft I experienced a physical reaction of anxiety, lightheaded dizziness and shortness of breath.

Colton, CA
Co-worker and I saw a bunch of balloon like objects floating in the southern California sky. There was an bigger object in the center. Maybe it was just closer to us, not sure. Could have been balloons or something else not sure. At any rate I felt the need to report it and see if anyone else saw them too. Objects were traveling east over the San Bernardino mountains. White balls with the biggest and or closest object being ovaled in shape.

The object was clearly round, at a very high elevation but visible, it was black In color But a very unusual shade, it was Darker than anything I’ve ever seen before as unusual as that sounds. The object moved slowly initially moving south-East then slowly turned on a northern heading towards the San Francisco area. It seemed to stall in mid air a couple of times and proceed to an ominously slow movement. The object increased in speed, it began moving exponentially faster After about 5 minutes into its northern trajectory and was soon lost due to overcast conditions. The object did not have any lights nor did it emit any sounds in the 20 minutes We observed it. I have to emphasize the unusually dark black color of the object and it’s very unusual slow movement And acceleration. I’m not one to jump to conclusions and have never claimed to have seen a UFO. However, this was a very unusual occurrence. I am reporting this mostly to see if anyone else in the Oakland-SF area saw the same object.

I say that only because of the manner of movement. I'm very aware of all the different forms of earthly craft and how they move. They don't start and stop unless they are helicopters but these were too high. much higher altitude than helicopters can go. The light emitted was yellow orange red and constant not blinking and very bright. There were two following each other South to North at about the altitude of passenger jets. The first one begin to fade and then faded to nothing. The second one stopped moving for about 30 seconds and then began to move again. Then it began to go upward untill it faded to nothing. As if to leave the atmosphere? The color and the manner of movement was like nothing I've ever seen otherwise I would just dismiss it. I'm searching to see if there's anything reported that might provide a logical explanation. There must have been other people somewhere looking up at the sky at that same time and saw what I saw. From my perspective it may have been high above the coast of Newport Beach.

Just a simple circle (solid), white in color, stationary NE of my location. Event lasted about 15 minutes then just vanished. Looked like a white dot in the sky after sun up (broad daylight). Not a weather balloon. Weird. I don't even believe in this stuff.

Yucca Valley, CA
This object came from the east at a high rate of speed. At first it looked like a shooting star. The object made a hard right turn headed north for about 45 seconds then made a U-turn heading south until it disappeared. The object made no sound. I am not sure how large it was. PS love you on the coast to coast show. Keep up the good work.

Friend said "What's that!" pointing to sky and looked up to see 7 red lights in star formation above us. They turned into 3 lights then into one light and seemed to move up in the sky away from us at really fast speed. We were inside the Target shopping center on Main Street when it happened.

Fresno, CA
This event happened on the 4th of July 2020. In Fresno, California. My Daughter and I were sitting outside in our lounge chairs by the pool, after everybody else in our family had gone to bed. We were facing North . I am 58 and my daughter is 35 years old. At about 10:45pm my daughter said, mom what is that? I looked up and through some trees I could see what looked like a ball of fire. Maybe a couple of city blocks away. With some fireworks still going off, my first thought was it had to be related. But within seconds I could tell it was coming straight towards us, moving South. When another fire ball came up behind it, and then another, with a total of 7 round fire lights. Orange, reddish in color. Coming straight at us. The first one is right over our heads now; we are looking straight up. The fire ball light was gone. We could only see the bottom of a vehicle; it was in a tear drop shape . NO lights and NO sound . It was a full moon that night so we could see the bottom of this flying thing. I would say it was traveling about the height of a helicopter flying in a city maybe 200 or 300 yards up. It was moving at about 20 miles per hour. A total of 5 vehicles past over us. The last 2 turned to the East before they reach us. When we looked to the south after passing us, they disappeared quickly. No lights on the back. So, we could not see them for very long as they moved into the moon light. My daughter and I are both hoping someone can provide an earthly explanation for what we seen that night. I think about this event daily, having trouble sleeping and concentrating on daily task. I have told some family and the first thing they say is did you take pictures. No pictures, I think I was afraid to run and grab my phone, because I thought I would miss it. But truly, it never even came to thought. I did draw it out on paper. I feel like I am waiting for their return, always looking up or out in the night sky.

All this time has passed.. decided to report the incident. I had a barbecue in the backyard. Looked up and I saw 2 orbs way up high looked like fireballs dancing around brought it to attention to my sister and her best friend. I grabbed my phone and took a video. Excuse all the cursing in the video as we were shocked. Maybe you can make sense of it.. My friend who lives in the same area saw 4 of them a short time earlier. He posted it on Facebook describing the incident. I have a copy of the post

Weaverville, CA
On the night of 4th of July 2020, my two other buddies and I (all of us friends for 20+ years since high school) were backpacking in the trinity Alps north of Weaverville, Ca. We had been backpacking 9 miles on the Caribou lake trail into deep wilderness that day. It was a perfectly clear night, 10:30pm. We all were talking, sitting by a fire when I saw a bright white light appear over a nearby mountain ridge, stationary, hovering at Upper Caribou Lake. It hovered for roughly 3 minutes. It took me by surprise as I thought (at first) it was a planet but it started to slowly move upward, very slowly. I yelled OMG, UFO. My two other friends jumped up and by the time we all reached the edge of the lake (away from the treeline) it was gone. I was the only one that saw this first sighting. Later that night around 11:30pm as we stayed up and moved away from the fire and sat at the lakes edge, one of my friends was alarmed at a series of odd blinking lights straight above are heads. We all looked up and the lights continued to blink in a random pattern far away from each other, too far apart to be a passing plane. Weird colors amber, red, then bright white. At one point we saw a streak of light continue into more blinking lights that seemed unattached to any know plane or craft of known origin. All three of us confirmed the sighting as it happened. I remember the last set of blinking lights being very intense with a super bright amber light flashing quickly a fair distance away from the other flashing lights we had just witnessed. This second sighting of the night lasted about two minutes and crossed half way over the visible sky from are vantage point. We've seen many planes flying at night and this string of flashing lights didn't match up to anything we've ever seen. I will note there was no bangs, or typical sounds related to any fireworks. Plus, we were in the deep wilderness far away from any nearby town. Lastly, about 30 minutes after the blinking light event, I was standing near one of my friends while the third friend was walking behind us (again near the lakes edge) The friend closest to me and I felt a strange since of missing time as it felt our third friend had vanished or was suddenly placed sitting on a nearby rock. The friend sitting on the rock said he was sitting there the whole time. Granted it was late and we all were very tired at this point, but the fact my buddy closest to me and I felt the same experience caught us by surprise. We both immediately confirmed the experience and talked about it. These events were odd, as my two friends and I have been backpacking many times in the wilderness and have witnessed several times over the years odd lights in the sky. But, only when all three of us are together on these hiking trips. We feel there is some kind of pull towards us being more receptive to these experiences. Very strange. I could go into more detail about our other sightings over the years but I will keep this short as to be more relevant with this current sighting. Thank you for reading this count. I'm an illustrator/ digital artist and could illustrate the light event if needed for more documentation. Best to you!

Catalina Island, CA
We were sitting outside looking up at the sky when we saw a small blink of light. After the flash of light that looked like a small star, there was a object that traveled North for a few seconds and then stopped. Once it stopped it made a 45 degree angle turn and shot out of sight. We had been using the CE5 tones at the time.

Bakersfield, CA
I've been a school bus driver for 26 years and on the 4th of July 2020 ,I was watching the the aerial fire works (which are illegal in California) when a bell shaped object came in to view approximately 300 feet or so above the ground over Bakersfield, Ca. It hovered like it was in observance of what was going on. The object was fully illuminated in a dull red/orange color, with no flashing lights and no sound. I grabbed my binoculars for a closer look and was in awe of what I was seeing. It then drifted toward the east then zipped out of sight, only to return once again a few seconds later and hovered for approximately 50 seconds, then again drifted toward the east and zipped out of sight again.

At about 9:15 PM ON the 4th of July 2020 seconds after meditating on contacting to see a UFO I watched a V shaped craft come into view fully lit at between 40 to 60 thousand feet from the south west it banked to the north. From first sighting until craft was out of sight was about 45 seconds.
