Baldwin Hills Estates, CA
I have been observing for some time weird flicking lights that appear to be stars over our house. After taken some photos and made the images larger you can distinctively see that they are orbs lights. And when dawn sets in you can see them dispersing away in the horizon. I live in Baldwin Hills Estates, CA located at Latitude: 34.01 North, Longitude: 118.34 West, Altitude: 980.00m/3215.22ft.

I have long dark curtains but I could see the round brightly glowing red orb through the curtains. It stayed still for a time, there appeared to be movement inside the orb, like it was glowing, almost like a fire. I closed my eyes for a moment to be sure I was not seeing things. When I opened them, the orb had moved to the other side of my sliding door. It stayed there for a few minutes, then disappeared suddenly. I was afraid to get out of bed or try to pull my curtains open. My husband was asleep and I did not want to disturb him as he sometimes does not sleep well. I sleep with a fan on at night, so I am not sure if the red orb emitted any noise. It may have been drowned out by my box fan noise. I had seen a UFO years ago in the daytime in GA while I was driving with my children in my van, so when I saw this red orb I felt it was not something man made. I felt as though it was spying on us through the window, so I felt it was best if I laid still and did not move until it left.

A solid green light (highly luminant) no sound, Round and bigger then A regular aircraft light, I'm not going to lie I was kind of scary. Moving kind of fast as it did pass pretty close over my location, And moving from South East to North West at a constant speed, So from my left to right heading out towards the ocean, Strangest u,f,o, sighting I have ever seen, And I do look up a lot. This is my first legitimate sighting, Made all other sightings look amateur.

A line of lights moved in a northeasterly direction over the house, traveling at the same speed on the same path. I counted at least 50, and lost count after that. Using a star as a reference, there was a 4-5 second space between each object. They traveled in a straight line across the sky with the same brightness, until they disappeared over a mountain. Duration of about 15 minutes. I observed aircraft with strobe lights flying thru the observable path of the objects, unknown whether above or below. After about 60-70 had passed, they became more spaced out at around 45 seconds apart, which continued for about 10 minutes. I also observed several similar looking objects traveling in a northerly direction, not the same path, but same speed and brightness.

Isleton, CA
The following is a detailed account of my observations of the “craft” in the overhead sky on repeatanle days of any random day of the week on any random week of the year. This report is specific to a single particular date and time, however I have seen the same activity on almost any given day of the year. I have brought numerous friends to the location to verify the veracity of my claims; all have agreed that my statements are accurate. The following is my eye witness account of events in the night sky above the town of Isleton in California bordering Rio Vista California off of Highway 12. I would imagine that you can share this sighting at any of the locations of Isketon, Rio Vista, Lodi, and up and down Highway 12 between those locations, perhaps all the way to Suisun City. My sightings come from the back of my boat which is situated in a marina on the Delta Loop. Looking out the back of my boat at approximately a 60° angle to the horizon, I can see 2 warm orange lights that are stationary in the sky. On occasion there is a single cool white light usually off to the right of the stationary objects. It’s not always a guarantee that the third object is present. These objects appear to be nothing more than airplanes with their usual lighting on them, however I’ve never seen man-made flying craft with such warm orange yellow lighting to it. These two orange yellow lights will stay at a consistent space apart from each other in a hovering pattern usually completely still. Sometimes they will deviate in there hovering patterns ever so slightly but I cannot tell if that is just cloud cover causing my eyes to trick me or if they are actually moving horizontally. As time goes on eventually these craft will deviate from the covering pattern and fluctuate in altitude significantly going all the way to what is almost the horizon or very near the ground from I can tell at approximately 300 feet above ground. Usually, after about five minutes of this vertical dance, one of the objects, usually the right most object to my position will become stable and again hover. The left most object will then make a rapid travel across the sky in a perfectly straight linear fashion until it has traveled far left out of my sight and is blocked by Marina cover. The remaining craft with it’s warm yellow orange lighting will remain statio! nary for perhaps 60 seconds and then it will travel far left as well, out of sight. That’s very few minutes has passed, the two objects are back in a group together at the far left but the lighting is very dim and has become more white. Eventually two warm orange yellow lights will appear exactly where the other two left from. It is unclear to me if the others came back or if these are new ones coming in. The bright white light seems to just stick around and sometimes will move around a bit but and sometimes just flicker and fade out to come back again later. On some occasions, though not that rare, the two objects dart about the sky in directions of no particular order. It is unlike any human made craft I have ever seen until about six months ago when I was privy to seeing RC style quad colters fly upwards of 100 mph and able to change directions rapidly. Also similar in-flight pattern to the RC helicopters that are able to perform acrobatic flight patterns. They very much mimic the flight patterns of RC style Quad copters. I am not sure the scale is correct however, due to my not knowing the actual distance Making it challenging to determine scale in the night sky. When I first saw this, of course I questioned my own sanity in the interpretation of what was going on. I imediately had a friend of mine over to witness this spectacle who was equally as struck by confusion and amazement as was I. I highly recommend anyone in the area to hang out anywhere on the Delta Loop or in Rio Vista downtown and look to the sky anywhere from 7 PM to 4 AM and you should see exactly what I’ve been reported. It does need to be on a clear night, they don’t seem to exist or non-clear nights. I’m not aware of any military operations or other rumors or stories going on in this area. However, Travis Air Force Base is nearby and there are stories of strange activity in the Fairfield area as well as Suison City, though I’m not sure if the storytelling has made its way to this more remote area of Solano County.

this ufo stayed on one course, but had this really intense glow to it. It was glowing so much that I couldn’t tell what kind of shape the object was for most of the encounter. What I found kind of odd though was that as I I’m staring at this glowing object, there was another aircraft of some sort not far behind it (Keep in mind the sun has gone down) . The 2nd object blended in with the night sky so good that if it wasn’t for the red flashing light that this craft had, I wouldn’t have been able to see it at all.

I was looking at the stars with my telescope when all of a sudden these stars start moving, I though my eyes were just playing tricks on me so I called my sister out to come and look. And she saw them to, these “stars” were in a perfectly straight line and there would be about five of them and then there would be a tiny gap as well just like this ( . . . . . . . . . . ) and I have no idea what it is, and I have also seen things like this in my town to.

It was in the middle of January, 2020, when I fell asleep while watching TV. I awoke at about 2 am to the sound of someone talking on TV. It wasn't very loud and I thought that I should turn off the TV. Then, I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look and saw a black mass hovering over our table in the kitchen area. It was completely silent. Panic set in. I was petrified at what I saw. I could not breathe nor move; I was frozen in fear. I tried to get out a scream, but couldn't. I tried and tried then eventually I found myself screaming "What the ****!!!!!" over and over again. My wife, who was asleep in the other room, ran into the living room. While she was entering the room, I saw the black mass in our kitchen shrink and then disappear completely. Unfortunately, my wife had just missed it. Please see the accompanying image file. This file contains a detailed drawing of what I saw. My impression was that it was mechanical and quite technologically advanced.

My wife and I were standing outside, smoking. I looked out to the Western night sky of California and noticed two rather dim lights, one following the other going Northeast. At first I thought one was a satellite but then when I saw the second one I thought maybe they were planes flying behind each other as I've seen many other times. Suddenly I noticed three more far behind it and you can see the distance between them, they seemed as though they were in Earth as I can see the distance between them and their formation. The first two lights suddenly would disappear after a certain distance, then the next three lights in the fleet wood fly on their path and disappear where the other two had also disappeared. Then two more fleets of these three lights what fly along their path and disappear where they all would eventually disappear. They seemed very distant and they did not have blinking lights as planes and helicopters do. I could also not hear any sound of an! engine, and they were also very dim. My wife and I were very confused by this as it seemed very unusual and no reason to believe they were planes or helicopters I stay completely disappeared after a certain point in their path not to mention this was a fleet of about 8 to 10 of these lights. We live and the northern Central Valley of California and spotted it is towards the west of California possibly out towards the coast.

Apple Valley, CA
Traveling West on Hwy 18 between 7th St and the 15 Fwy 2 hexagon shaped objects appeared at cloud level pointed South bound. They were dark colored but transluscent. It seem like the were behind a sheer cloud cover. There were no lights. One object was flying on it’s side like a flounder and the other one was flying flat. They hovered over the 15 Fwy and Hwy 18 for about 40 to 45 seconds. The one flying on it’s side was in front and the other one was hovering right over the back of the one in front and did a tight circle around the one in front. They appeared out now where and disappeard the same way.

Me and my husband noticed three bright lights in the formation of a triangle just sitting in the sky. We thought they were stars and as we kept looking they slowly disappeared. It wasnt a gradual disappearance as if they were flying away like an airplane. Almost like a light dimming out. No sound and no blinking lights like an airplane and no movement. Our dog was barking from the backyard.

On the highway in les than 2 seconds their was a ball of light that stopped midair and “ warped” out of sight in such a speed that was way faster than at least 5x the speed of sound. It left sight. 2 second after a similar event happend in a location around 2 miles away but warped at the same direction. A police helicopter was also their

I sit at the marina every morning for the sunrise to meditate and this morning I noticed above the cloud and fog line would appear to be part of the clouds at first but then I noticed it getting brighter and it's still there with the clouds dissipating at first I thought it was a planet in the distance but it's not it's staying in the same location however it seems to be changing from a cube shape to a sphere and back and I don't know what the heck this thing could be I do know that it is not a part of the landscape as I sit in the same spot with the same view every morning and I would have noticed something like this before and I looked through my pictures of the cityscape and see nothing to that nature in the previous photos I am approximately 36 miles from where this appears to be it's probably further for me but that's a guesstimate I've been here for an hour and the thing has not moved only change shape and gotten brighter and dimmer it's very odd

Driving down the interstate going Northbound on I-5 and noticed one object in the sky with a red flashing strobe flying abnormally low and flew across the sky horizontally in excess speed then cut right going away from me. The object covered many miles then made another right going out of sight in the distance.

It looked like a white light stick in the sky it was canted to the right. It was moving south towards San clemente. There were 2 bright points 1 at each end and 1 bright point in the middle. I tried to snap a photo but it was moving quickly but never changed its angle.
