Crescent City, CA
On Saturday evening at around 10:15 pm I stepped out on my deck as usual to look up at the stars and noticed approx 8 or so lights traveling in a V flight formation from east to west over the pacific ocean. The lights were not bright but very distinct and at the rate of speed they where moving, it seemed it was only a couple of seconds as they traveled the visible night sky from east to west before I lost track of them over the pacific. In that V Pattern and at that rate of speed each individual light was pulsing within that V as they travelled. After that evening I discovered there were other reports in my area within that time frame describing similar viewings. Something's going down man! A true mind blower!

LaVerne, CA
At approximately 7:45 p.m. Saturday evening I saw two very different burnt orange colored lights traveling in the Northeast direction ascending and altitude. a small turboprop aircraft was traveling in the same direction at a little higher altitude. The turboprop and the first but identified craft seem to be on an intersecting course the unidentified craft reach the similar altitude as they turboprop it's slow down and began to fear more towards the north direction as a turboprop past the unidentified craft change that setting war towards the North and continue to climb and altitude it was a very different colored burnt orange had no navigation lights or strobe beacon it was not a craft I'd recognized before the color was distinctly odd and it was the luminescence was much greater approximately a minute or so after that crash have passed and moved out of sight a second one identical to the first unidentified craft followed on the same course the entire siding lasted approximately three maybe four minutes cuz I'm familiar with most commercial craft the satellite pattern this was distinctly not in those either of those categories the light was a very different color it could have been up some sort of military aircraft that is not disclosed or something but I don't know what else it could have been and I'm curious how many others have reported this siding from the LA county

Rancho Cordova, CA
I am a 62-year-old male. I live near Mather Field Airport and TRACON in Rancho Cordova, CA, and notice cargo jets flying and landing all the time. I am familiar with flight times and patterns and sounds. I began my daily morning walk from my house at 5:45 am. The sky was clear except for some high hazy clouds creeping up from the southwest. As I was looking up at the sky I noticed a string of lights, not blinking, coursing across the sky in a North to South direction. I realized that these were not airplanes. They seemed to be going the same speed; not slow but not very fast either, about the speed of an airliner. They did not change shape or color, but like dots of white in color following each other. They did not change directions at all. I could not tell the altitude, but it seemed they were all at the same altitude; the altitude of an airliner. I did not hear any noise like an engine. I began counting them. I noticed that as I got to number 9, they were b! eginning to follow farther apart.

NE of our pos a blue light. Bright like venus but a bit fuzzy. It stayed in location approx above Cajon Pass on I 15 estimated at 30 deg above horizon. As an Army Pilot i know nothing this cfg and went in to get cam. 3m later observed at same pos then it started decending to the mountain range horizon line. Est it slowly decended took about 4m to fully disappear but never changed shape, size or lumin. Got vid but its too far and fuzzzy. Can see the blue dot but no surrounding markers. Overcast scattered and broken 4k.

La Quinta, CA
As we were hiking through desert mountains, in the sky above the mountains next to us there was a bright object which at first appeared to be a planet or just a very bright star. We were walking for about 20 minutes and forgot about the bright looking star. As we turned back and retraced our steps, we saw that the bright light moved across a distance of half a mile. It seemed like it was moving so all four of us stopped to watch it, and it was essentially floating but not totally still. It was hovering. Glowing orange orb. Almost like a fireball. Very bright. The rest of the way back to our original spot, we watched in awe as this orb literally followed us and stopped with us whenever we stopped along the way. It followed us from the hiking spot, to our car, and we could see it the entire time we drove home miles away.

Clearlake, CA
I witnessed 9 bright orange lights in the sky above Clearlake, California. They appeared in a line and then started to move to more of a circular shape. One moved through the circular formation without striking any of the others and dissapeared. Within 60 seconds the rest dissapeared one by one. There was no sound, and seemed to be close. When they faded away there was no trail. The only trail I witnessed was from the one light that flew through the circular formation.

3 soft white non-blinking lights in an equilateral triangle formation, could not tell if there was a solid hull, traveled from north to south, seemed faster than the ISS at that moment, less luminous than the ISS (-2.2 magnitude), ~38° max angle of altitude.

Paramount, CA
On 3/15/20 at 8pm PST I was going to my neighbors to let her know dinner was ready, when I noticed a reddish/orange light to the east of me that looked like it was on fire. The object was approximately 30 degrees up in the sky from my angle. I was with my neighbor and pointed it out to her. At first we thought it was a plane that was on fire and crashing and then the fire appeared to stop. The object was still very bright but had a darker circular center area. Then again it appeared to be back on fire with flames shooting high in the sky above it and it started moving very irratically, up/down, forward/backwards and diagonally. We then realized that this was very unusual. We tried to film it with my neighbor's iPhone but it would not show up on her camara but it was clearly visible by eye. This lasted for about 3 minutes and then the object left eastward at an extremely high rate of speed and went from looking like a blimp on fire to a pin point in less than a second and disappeared and was over.

Bakersfield, CA
On the night in question, my friend and I went to his backyard so he could have a smoke. As we walked out, I immediately noticed a light in the northwestern sky that was very unusual. It was in a northwest direction (looking towards Buttonwillow and maybe even towards highway 41) from where we were standing, approx. 15-45 miles away. At first glance, it had an orange-like light. After a few minutes, the orange went away and what looked to be two red lights appeared in its place. There was also a white light clustered just beneath these two red lights. As we were watching this, I attempted to take my phone out to take a picture, but it suddenly disappeared from the horizon. Within a few seconds, it reappeared. It did this one or two more times before it faded out, but very, very slowly. Also, this was very low on the horizon.

My wife and I were in our backyard enjoying a fire after a break in the rain when in the direct east over the hills of Dehesa I noticed what I thought was a star, but it was amber in color and as I watched it, it slowly rose straight up at a very consistent and measured rate. Once I realized it I motioned to my wife, whose back was to it, she turned and noticed it. As soon as she saw it the object shot directly north at an incredible speed and out of sight.

Hat Creek, CA
I videoed the object for appreciate two minutes and then proceed on my way only to stop again and attempted to get a better view of what ever this object was. I was careful to make sure that it wasn't a plane or a light on top of one of the mountains and from the best I could tell, it was a stand alone object. I will attempt to send the two recordings via email and to be honest with you, I'm just curious as to what it may be so I you can identify it, please let me know. Thank you for your time.

Four orange/yellow fireballs were seen off in the distance as planes were descending nearby. Slowly, 2 of them faded out like a shooting star. Then a new fireball appeared. And the remainder left eventually faded out in the same way.

Oxnard, CA
I walked on Hollywood beach in Oxnard, CA, and sat down to watch the ocean at approximately 3:30pm on 3/8/2020. I noticed many chem trails in the sky. FAR more than normal. I noticed a regular plane in the distance putting off chem trails and then out of no where (almost like it came through a portal) noticed what I thought was another plane but it was very low, giving off no fumes and making no noise. As it started moving over the water I noticed it's appearance was more that of a large tic tac or balloon type shape kind of altering between silver and red. As I stared at it the craft moved in a way I have never witnessed and morphed from that airplane/balloon look to almost triangular as it changed trajectory and it's nose then pointed directly at me. As that happened I noticed everything went quiet a large electromagnetic type energy consumed me and the space around me. I could no longer hear the ocean waves, but I could hear and feel a heavy frequency of some type screaming in my head. I could feel an energy coming from the craft. I immediately got up at that point and started running back across the beach to where my car was parked and saying "no no no". I was truly afraid it was trying to abduct me. But then again maybe it was just trying to communicate.

Grass Valley, CA
We are not sure what we saw but they were moving In a straight line from the South West to the North East They appeared to look like a jet liner would look at night at 30,000 feet but no flashing lights or sound, or a satellite would look. They were also spaced equally apart, one behind the other they just kept coming. They traveled through the sky in a short period of time.

I was facing north west outside on my front patio it was the middle of the day. It was cold outside and the sky had these clouds moving across the sky I was looking up at the sky when I saw movement in the sky from my left. There was 5 steel like objects that were shaped like hollow helmets flying in a diagonal upside down L shaped formation. I wanted to take a picture but by the time I got a good look and determined pointed my phone to take a picture I couldn't see them anymore .

30 to 40 circular white lights flying in a straight line formation all equally same distance apart...Started counting them after about 2 min. Personally counted 25, so I'd say around 30 to 40. There were 5 of us that witnessed it.

We saw 8 lights in formation evenly spaced and moving at a high rate of speed. We then saw other lights in formation about 2-3 minutes later moving in the same direction. Shortly after objects disappeared, The sky became extremely hazy.

Fresno, CA
About 20-30 lights in total appeared in the night sky, traveling in the same trajectory. First one appeared, traveled 4 finger distance then the second one appears where the first one originated and the line continued in that order, speed and distance. When the 4th one appeared at origin point, the first one dissapeared at about 15-16 fingers spaced from origin point. (Finger space = hold your hand straight out to point of origin, count fingers for distance) this lasted for about 5 minutes over Fresno, CA. Just before 20:00 March 3rd, 2020.

Vacaville, CA
Lights very high in the atmosphere passed over 1 at a time spaced evenly and in a straight line. They were moving east. As they passed overhead, they disappeared. As I was watching 3 dimly lit orbs raced by traveling south. One was traveling in a straight line while the other 2 danced around on each side. Another light (very high in the atmosphere slowly moved overhead and stopped and hovered for at least 5 minutes. Very weird. They were definitely too high to be military aircraft and way too many to be satellites.
