Jurupa Valley, CA
The objects flew silently and were descending from the night sky onto the local hills in an irregular pattern. They all had an steady orange glow which disappears as they appeared to make landfall. The leading objects would disappear farther ahead of the trailing objects. They flew along the contours of the rugged hills. Distance from both witnesses about one mile . These did not have blinking white, red, green flashing lights as seen on normal appearing aircraft.

Elverta, CA
Set the alarm by back sliding door and noticed a moving starlike object. No colored or blinking lights. It passed behind a tall tree and then another similar object followed the exact path as the first one. I kept watching and counted 10 objects that seemed to come from nowhere just appear out of the blackness and take exact path same speed as previous light. I never saw 2 lights together the following light would come after the previous light had disappeared. Event lasted approx 7 minutes.

Approximately 2140 my husband and I were in spa on deck when I looked up and saw what I thought was a plane. My husband said it was moving too fast to be a plane. We saw 30 of these moving objects in formation of equal distance appearing from the same area in the sky, one after another in a row, steady and looked like evenly spaced. It was a clear night, we could see plenty of stars and also a couple of planes. We could not see them off in the distance as the moon was bright. May 3, 2020 with full moon in a few days. We heard a rumble like planes in the distance but we are also near the Pacific Ocean so it was not clear if the rumble was from the air travel. We looked to see if they were repeating a formation like some type of training but could not see that. They seemed to come out of nowhere in the same area and go off into the South. Coming from the North to South in the Western sky above my home.

My mom called me out onto our patio and was like "hey is that one of the satellites going across the sky?" I replied "yes you finally got to see it!" Within a moment later while I was still looking up at the sky I noticed another small small dot of light. Going in the exact same direction and a good distance from the first object. I was like wait a second, I've never seen two back to back. All of a sudden my mom was like "theres another one!" Sure enough we kept counting and counting. Ending with 7 objects. The exact same distance apart. Going in the same direction. It was amazing to witness! They were the smallest balls of light, not really noticable to those that weren't stargazing.

Orcutt, CA
We witnessed a procession of 12-14 bright white orbs traveling from South to North in the Western sky. Each orb followed the last at the same distance, speed, and trajectory until disappearing from sight. The objects had no blinking lights and made no audible sound, moving in a linear path across the sky. Female witness background: law Male witness background: Journeyman electrician Location: backyard,15 miles inland from Pacific Ocean, looking West. Orbs moved from South to North.

Quincy, CA
Form of 3 lights moving across the evening sky, one brighter than the rest. After about 2 minutes the two dimmer lights disappeared and the brighter one came to a halt, and started shining before fading out.

Porterville, CA
Looked towards the west to see the bright stars and saw movement going south west by stars. Orangeish color about altitude of jet liners. Then saw another following. At equal distance there were al least five more in a single file. Holding my arm out, they were a hand spread apart from each other. Went to my room to get my phone to try to video it. Did not come out well. Path from Tulare to Bakersfield.

Sighted at high altitude over North East Los Angeles. Appeared to be a triangle or chevron craft with five white lights. The craft moved silently.

Pomona, CA
Lights appearing seperate one after the other in a line out of nowhere in sky moving northeast as other lights that were not moving off on either side of the line of the other lights began moving and had a different color to them orange not bright white or bluish like others. They seem to be doing a military like staggered and protect formation. There were two that laid behind for a while as if to cover where the “caravan” had come from for about 5 more minutes. They moved in the sky effortlessly changing directions which is impossibly for a drone or plane. And I can say I see at this distance ... well they were moving really fast. Faster than any plane or rocket anything on this earth. My partner and I were astonished and tried to get video but my phone was a fail. I’m certain now that we are not alone. And I can’t find anybody who saw the same as we did. It wasn’t space x it wasn’t satellites it was not from here unless there’s a cover up from the public.

Santa Cruz, CA
I was laying flat on the ground looking up. I was on Coral Street in Santa Cruz.Three rockets, all brown in color, with the shape of the new SpaceX rockets, flew from North to South across the sky in a period of two minutes. They were very clear but and seemed to be low to the ground but I heard no noise. They all left vapor trails that disappeared after twenty seconds. They all appeared the same but the color was very brown. It was strange because three came in a row, one right after the other and I've never seen a real rockets in the sky before. It was extremely odd. I've never seen these kind of rockets on tv or heard reports of rockets launching from Mountain View, Santa Clara before. I think that one rocket may have split the earth into three dimensions by launching them and that's maybe what I witnessed. I think we might be splitting the earth into multiple dimensions by traveling in height above the surface. Do we really know all the effects we are c! ausing in time and space with the act of traveling to space? I reported I saw an airplane fly into space and another thing I want to say is that I hear strange noises all the time above Santa Cruz that sound like space ships and how do we know if someone like Elon Musk is not running their own space fleet right now? Is space even monitored?

San Diego, CA
The sky was clear,solid blue with no clouds. While out walking my dog, I stopped at our usual place to enjoy feeding birds, enjoy nature and look at the sky. Suddenly, I spotted three dark, identical sized/shaped objects to the far NE. They caught my eye because they were in an exact formation, a row across with the exact amount of space between them. At first, I thought they must be military planes or helicopters in a pattern. As I watched them, though, they did not appear to move as the never became larger, coming towards me,or smaller, moving farther away. Also, they remained in the exact formation, all three staying the identical size. That is when I realized there was no sound of planes or helicopters. It was silent. As I tried to think of what they could be as I observed them, poof...they all three suddenly disappeared at the exact same moment. The formation was too far away to determine their shape. Discs were the closest description. The next day, th! ere was a great deal of military plane activity heard for some hours. The base happens to be to the NE. One of several reports from same source.

Driving down a dark road we spotted a helicopter chasing a light at high speeds

Citrus Heights, CA
We saw an object that looked like a star vibrating in place and after a minute it went vertical into the sky. Then a minute later another one appeared in same area and dissipated then showed up again seconds later in the same vertical pattern going the same direction then dissipated into nothing.

Fort Jones, CA
First noticed a very bright light hovering in the sky. Then noticed some star like lights moving through the sky and then ascending up until out of sight this continued for over an hour. some moving together some one at a time but eventually all ended up ascending up into the clouds out of sight meanwhile the original bright light drifted off until it was also out of sight. seemed like every time they moved shortly after the wind would pick up they were never in any type of formation and never had any trail of lights following them. just looked like blinking stars

Los Angeles, CA
Object moved in a straight line low in the atmosphere ( lower than a plane) at approx 50-55 degrees from approx sw to north. Rate of movement was consistent, it’s rate of movement was similar to the ISS when spotted from the ground, which is why I thought it was the ISS at first, yet it’s brightness, color, and lack of arc (it moved consistently in a straight line, parallel to the horizon) was inconsistent with how I have observed the ISS previously. Single light, possibly -8/-7 magnitude (urban area, no other stars currently visible)-reddish glow with a small halo possibly from atmospheric diffusion. It faded slightly once before returning to full brightness again and then faded completely in a quick yet smooth manner. I and the other witnesses heard no noise, either emitting from the object or before/after seeing the object. (Fireworks go off frequently in my neighborhood and we heard no explosions before or after spotting the object). It was almost lik! e an ember from a fire the way it flickered out, yet having seen many fireballs/shooting stars/meteor showers in my life, it moved like none of those and appeared very mechanical/intentional.

Scott’s Valley, CA
I was out star-gazing with my partner before 10pm. I saw a very dim chevron shaped craft flying too low to be a satellite and larger than a plane. I pointed it out to my partner and it took him a moment to see because it was so dim. We both saw dim lights on each side of the chevron, but they weren’t exactly lights because the object was so dim. It was accompanied by a smaller, very fast oblong object which was also very dim. Over the next 40 minutes we saw 2 more dim crafts like this one, but further away and not accompanied by other crafts like the first one.

Trinidad, CA
Disk object seen flying at high rate of speed at low angle towards ocean. Surrounded by huge flames. Colored orange, yellow, blue, white. Possible 10 or 20 foot long flames. Object was close to Trinidad rest area on Hwy. 101, North of Trinidad town. Object appeared to be around the size of a small house, or perhaps two large school buses. Seen by people at rest area.

Carmichael, CA
It looked like the sheriffs helicopter with its spotlight on which is common in my area. Absolutely no no noise. It was flying directly towards me at about 1500 feet. I’m a (drone pilot) so that’s a pretty good guess on altitude. The light went out and there was nothing there, No strobes, no craft, nothing. Incidentally in correlation my phone, iPad, music speaker all powered down. Probably my 8th sighting through out my life.

RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN AREA. SITTING ON BALCONY AT 11:30PM. IT WAS A HOT DAY SO ME AND PARTNER ENJOYING A CHAT IN THE COOL OF THE NIGHT. WE WERE STAR GAZING. I HAVE VERY GOOD EYE SIGHT AND SUDDENLY SAW A TRIANGULAR SHAPED AIRCRAFT IN THE DISTANCE TO THE WEST FLYING EAST TOWARD US. THE AIRCRAFT WAS GREYISH/WHITISH IN THE NIGHT SKY AND WAS SMOOTH AND SOLID. NO WINGS OR JAGGED EDGES VISIBLE. LOOKED LIKE A MANTA RAY. VERY OVERWHELMING TO SEE. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THAT WANTED TO BE SEEN. ALMOST INVISIBLE. NO EXHAUST TRAIL. IT WAS NOT MOVING FAST, SEEMED MUCH SLOWER THAN JET OR EVEN PROPELLER PLANE. WAS NOT FLYING HIGH. APPROX.500-700 FEET AWAY. NO LIGHTS AT FIRST UNTIL IT FLEW OVER US WE SAW THERE WERE LIGHTS IN A V-FORMATION. THEY WERE NOT SHINING OR FLICKERING, THEY ALMOST SEEMED LIKE REFLECTORS. COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE BENEATH THE CRAFT BESIDES THE V-FORMATION. WHAT FREAKED US OUT WAS THAT IT WAS EERILY SILENT. NO SOUND AT ALL. FLEW PRETTY MUCH IN A STRAIGHT LINE THEN LOST SIGHT OF IT OVER OUR ROOF.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA
April 26th, 2020 @ 20:18 (8:18 PM) I was outside relaxing with my older and younger sisters and my old dog. It was outside right after the sun went down. It was 91 degrees that day so it was nice out. I then saw a bright light on the horizon towards the west where the sun went down. I thought it was Venus because Venus is the evening star. I then saw it moving slowly so I thought it was a plane, helicopter, or a drone. The light stopped in place and then it moved rapidly. It then stopped in place. This is when my sisters got a little concerned about it. I ran to get my binoculars. I came back and I looked through them. This is what the UFO looked like. It was a circle with four beams of light on the bottom. They looked on lamps. I had an amazing pair of binoculars that were very expensive so I cold see every detail. The aircraft was extremely bright. My sister tried to take a video and we have footage of it. The video is not the best because it is an iPhone, but at least we have the event on camera. The aircraft then dropped down towards the horizon until we could not see it anymore
