Arcata, CA
Between 9:00-9:20 PM, constant string of mostly single file, but some paired, very bright satellite-type objects, very, very high... like satellite-high, cruising at different speeds, some slow, some fast, some not moving at all, then starting again. A constant show. Headed E NE over Humboldt County, ARCATA/Fickle Hill Area. Not low and plane like whatsoever. Maybe a major military convoy headed somewhere? Most amazing thing I’ve ever seen... ever! Myself and others from four other neighboring homes watched in astonishment. Thanks, whoever/whatever you are! It was wonderful!!

Sacramento, CA
Seen 8 lights hovering around the Sacramento skies. Flying around erratically, but spaced apart. Very cool sight to have witness. The objects didn’t have distinct colors other than if being white, similar in color as stars in the skies.

Calabasas, CA
Objects were very small, white lights in the night sky moving at a very fast pace. Not usual aircraft lights, no sound and were very high up. There were approximately 13 or more spaced apart equally traveling from a northern direction southbound. The last one seen emitted a flash of light. Approximate time frame from seeing the first one to the last one was about 5 minutes. I have good knowledge of aircraft and how they look in the sky at most altitudes and there were other aircraft in the area as normal. This sighting was ongoing lights at equal lengths, one after another at an extremely high altitude almost not visible to the eye. I even checked Flight Radar 24 and there were no aircraft on the radar in this particular space.

On April 16 at approximately 2100 hours I took my dogs out to the backyard to relieve themselves. I was outside on the patio facing 39 degrees northeast when I saw a light in the sky moving at a high rate of speed. It was traveling from southwest to a northeasterly direction and appeared to be at a high elevation that was difficult to determine. It was followed by 6-8 other similar objects at equal distance and all in alignment. This formation was followed by several other formations heading in the same direction, but on different linear paths. In all there were about 4-5 linear formations. Each with 4-6 objects in alignment. There were also other objects heading in the same direction but were outside of the formations and appeared to be solo or providing flank security. At the end of the large formation which consisted of all the smaller formations were a couple of more objects that appeared to be providing rear security. The last object moved overhead at a! pproximately 2125 hours. It should be noted that within the first minute and once I realized I was witnessing a phenomenon I called for my wife to come outside and she brought my adult children to observe also. While we were observing this phenomenon we also witnessed other lights in the southeast sky moving south southeast.

Almost appeared as bright Satellites moving in a straight line formation evenly spaced. Just above Venus in the night sky, heading in a Northern direction.. Counted 42 over a 20 minute period.

Citrus Heights, CA
Starting at 9:00PM us 4 saw 3 star looking formations in shape of an acute triangle moving over the sky in unison perfectly spaced from each other. Then following the triangle came about 20 more star formations followed in a straight line perfectly spaced. Then a pattern of straight ufos move along with triangles. It happened for 20 minutes in one direction then they would start in another direction. They kept coming like they were in orbit together lasting an hour. We found out they were not satellites.

Fontana, CA
These 16 lights appeared in the North West sky.I spotted the first 2 at 21:00 then came in the house to tell family members to come look at the lights i just spotted. These lights would appear one after another at 5 second intervals very dim then bright then just fade away. The lights were in different flight patterns but all came from the same direction.

Alhambra, CA
At around 9pm my dad has told me to go outside . We had seen one fairly large looking star turning red and white . We had thought it was a helicopter but it was moving up and down side and side very fast . We think looked around and seen there was 10-15 other moving like stars moving fast . Some pausing and some were moving up and down . The others were much farther away though then the one that was turning red.

OK as I looked up I know what satellites look like when I spot one in the sky and how fast they're moving and how they do not look like aircraft that are blinking these were going at an extremely fast pace 1 after another and then look to me like military jets were actually chasing them and then more followed and then more followed. It was not the SPACEX lights it was something else

Altadena, CA
Hiking way up in the mountains of Altadena, around 8:30pm witnessed a total of 51 unidentified flying objects (single distant unblinking lights) traveling in a somewhat straight trajectory appearing near Orion's Belt traveling by Venus in a NW trajectory. They all were maintaining the same speed and direction one appearing after the next. My friend and I both watched this transpire over about an hour. When looking up above us,we also noted additional distant lights but traveling in several different directions.

Murrieta, CA
For the course of 30 minutes we witnessed what we thought was just a satellite moving across the night sky, but then shortly after (10 to 30 seconds) there was another from the same direction forming a line. There were at least thirty in a row moving west from Lake Elsinore area toward Riverside/Moreno Valley... these were small lights, moving very fast. It was very odd especially since planes are not flying at the moment. There was no sound either. After 30 minutes there was no more activity and the sky was quiet.

Paradise and Quincy, CA
A formation of lights perfectly spaced traveling at a high rate of speed continued in a north-west direction with only small breaks in between what I would consider "Ships". Lights varied from dim to medium bright white in color. After counting up-to 30 continual light after light , I realized what I was witnessing. At looking around in the sky I did notice some lights dimmer white toward the south as if to be-watching the formation traveling south-east.They disappeared at a high rate. This was off of Pence, Rd , in Paradise ,Ca. Between 8:15 to 8:50. I then drove east to Quincy, Ca. to my residence at which time my mate confirmed the sighting as I but here in Quincy. He experience lasted more than a hour.

Lamont, CA
We noticed strange objects in the sky, didn't think nothing about it but a few minutes later it seemed as if we were being invaded. Somewhat scary. They popped up out of the same location in the sky and flew in a straight formation about 5 miles apart at the same type of speed. We counted over 100. One of the objects lit up bright almost like beaming a light. They traveled east north east towards the desert in the direction of Las Vegas. Also notified the local news.

Sky was clear little haze from street lights second night in around the light were headed eastbound they were one after any in a straight line some time they were side by side and would get bright and then fade out location in sky was northwest near the brightest star in the sky at 8:30 pm. To small to film need telephoto lens. we will be out tonight to see if we can see and film them

Me and my wife are always looking at the sky for run. We noticed two glowing lights moving at the same speed and reached a part of the sky and disappeared. Following in seconds we saw a cluster of 8, the same lights in a 10 minute period exiting our atmosphere in the same spot as the others. Lights were to faint and to far away to record.

Burbank, CA
Me and a friend were sitting on my backyard patio talking. It was the end of dusk and just tunning dark when we took out my high powered binockulars. We were looking at the stars over the Verdugo mountains (facing NE)when we saw a series of white lights decending at about a 45 degree angle and disappearing from our vantage point behind the Verdugo mountains. They werent so much flying in a group formation but more in a single file (with a 5 to 10 second durasion between each decending anomaly) Their speed was much faster than anything we've ever seen before! WE were wondering if anyone else had whitnessed this most unusual phenomenon?

I was out looking at Venus and stars with my telescope when a very fast, non-flashing, non blinking, semi bright object caught my eye.. upon further observation I began to notice that it was flying in the same pattern as another one of the same objects that was a bit ahead of it.. as I kept looking I began noticing more and more of these objects following in the EXACT same pattern at the same speed. Just emerging out of the dark sky and then fading off into distance. The distance between each object was perfect and the speed they were traveling at was identical. I came in and got my father and we went and watched the rest of the object fly by... we watched about 15-20 of these fly by in the night sky. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen…
