Los Angeles, CA
A couple friends and I were On the balcony having a smoke, when I glanced At a plane flying and looked below and I saw a bright red (almost looked like it was on fire) ball of light moving slowly over the treetop. We at first thought it could be a meteor but it wasn’t falling, just gliding across the sky in varied speeds.

Temecula, CA
On Monday January 6th, my son and I were about to walk into the gym around 5:15 pm, when we saw what we thought at first was a rocket or missile launch. The object was tiny and I couldn't discern it's shape other than triangle looking with a red light on it. It came from due west and curved toward north. There were some high clouds at the time and the object was above them flying extremely rapidly, leaving a contrail. We both felt kind of nervous because of the issues with Iran and wondered if we had seen a missile launch. We live in a flyway for different military aircraft, police, traffic enforcement radar, first responders, fire fighting craft, news helicopters, commercial flights, private aircraft, and so on, in a north-south pattern mostly. We've seen a number of rocket launches come from Vandenberg AFB, where you can see the fan like spray of the rocket's contrail and watch it move across the sky. They move from north-west to south. This was also very ! different than other aircraft or rockets we've seen, not only because of the direction it traveled, but due to the speed in which it was moving. I can watch a jet, up at cruising speed and likely around 36,000 feet, move across the sky from horizon to horizon in about 3 minutes. This craft went across our field of vision, and just before it reached the eastern horizon, it traveled up and out of sight, taking less than a minute. It was moving faster than any aircraft I've ever seen. Location: intersection of I-15 and Temecula Valley Parkway/South Hwy 79.

On Sunday January 5th 2020 at about 7:45 PM. There was a white sphere hovering over the ocean. Object could be seen from the beach in Isla Vista and from the hills in Santa Barbara. Was neither The Moon nor Venus. Object was not a plane landing at Santa Barbara Airport either. Object seemed to hover for about 40-45 minutes and then proceeded to enter the ocean quickly and abruptly. There was a plane flying around over Isla Vista doing several loops for about 20 minutes when this object was in the air. That pilot might have been aware of the object and extremely likely the pilot witnessed the bright white sphere hovering out over the ocean. We could not judge distance or size of the object due to the black night sky other than we can say it was over the ocean. There is video footage of the object taken from the hills of Santa Barbara. Unfortunately the person filming did not take good footage and the clip is short and at times out of focus. Very curious if an! ybody else saw this object. I have yet to find any info or reports on the object. I am versed in astronomy, physics, and have flown planes. When first observation of the object, we suspected a helicopter or plane, yet the characteristic of the high degree of intensity of the white light and silence factored a more curious examination. Watching the object fly into The Ocean convinced me it was indeed a UFO of some sort. I have combed the Internet for any reports of the object. The only thing found was a youtube video that left much to be desired. So I am logging this report into the database.

Huntington Park, CA
First I heard this loud noise above my head then I looked up looking for a big airplane as I live 14 miles from LAX. What I saw was amazingly undesirable as there were about 6 or 7 objects forming a ">" shape with equal number of objects on each side. As it left very quickly it seemed as though one side acquired more objects and they had no lights as if it was trying to hide from being seen. was a second bigger object right after the first group but this one was a very large triangle with 3 rounded lights one on each corner but the lights weren't bright at all. I could still see the entire object but those ones emitted no sounds. It followed the same route as the group of objects before it. One more star like object followed the second on the same direction towards the Pacific Ocean.the speed of the last object was very fast but definitely not a asteroid. I watch the sky for hours and know when an asteroid or airplane passes through. These items were ei! ther military grade or aliens really exist.

Sherman Oaks, CA
I was taking out the trash at 9:45pm and I stopped to look up at the moon. Then I saw a dark black triangle with slightly lighter colored circles on the points (but the whole craft was very dark - no lights or anything). I almost didn't see it. It was about 200 feet up and completely silent, flying in a straight line right over me. It lasted about 15 seconds before it flew out of sight. I got the feeling it could "see" me, like it was surveillance.

It looks like something fell through our atmosphere. There was a thick red-orange trail with an object it the front. It only lasted a second or two then the whole thing just disappeared. Maybe it burned up? I saw the object while facing east maybe a little southeast. Meteor? Satelite? Were we expecting anything?

I was driving on highway 1 and just when i looked up i saw a dome shaped cylinder soaring super fast through the sky but slow enough for me to get a good look, it was much faster than anything we’ve ever build fast than a jet and much faster than any plane

It was so perfectly green and beautiful. Wow! I told my kids they just missed out something so beautiful because they spend to much time looking down on the phone.

San Diego, CA
I was standing over highway I94 facing west and I was attempting to take a good picture of the San Diego skyline. Whereupon I took a series of pictures so I could pick out the best one to post on my Instagram. After examining the fotos I noticed a series of lights that appeared on the top right corner of the frame and kept moving with objects appearing on each subsequent picture. I do not claim to know what these pictures represent but as you can clearly appreciate they seem to be grouping in formation and flying what seems to be moving from right to left or north to south over the downtown San Diego skyline. With the Lindbergh airport to the north of the picture frame.

Tustin, CA
Approximately 5:15 PM walking my dog, Walter, through a neighborhood park, I saw a bright light, too bright to be a star. No flashing lights as is the case with standard aircraft. The light would move very slowly, stop, then move again slowly. I wouldn't of thought it any anything special, maybe a satellite, until I used my iphone 10 and zoomed in for a picture. What I saw was a dark center, with a very bright glow around it. I estimate the light somewhere over Newport Beach, CA, approximately 8 to 10 miles away. 45 minutes later, it is still in the sky. I would expect you to also receive additional reports from this.

Gasquet, CA
3:31 AM Monday, December 30, 2019 Gasquet, Del Norte County, California As seen through Bedroom window with no lights on inside room or house I woke up and opened my eyes. Looking out the bedroom window, I could see a cloudless sky full of stars (Orion and the Seven Sisters were both visible). It was then that I noticed movement across the sky from the treeline towards the house (roughly moving from west-southwest to east-northeast) of what appeared to be a whitish-blue satellite. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my glasses to watch it as it moved, as it appeared to be deviating from its course in sporadic bursts that were perpendicular to its direction of travel, at times seeming to zigzag back and forth across its general direction of travel. I call them bursts because each time the object appeared to return to its main path, and the speed of the bursts was eight to ten times faster out and back than the speed of the general pathway that the object was taking. I have watched the skies since I was a kid and have seen countless satellites-- including the space station, but I had never seen that kind of motion that high up in either the outer atmosphere or in outer space. I checked the data from the Heavens-Above website and could not find a satellite traveling along that orbit at that time on that night, so I do not know what I saw which is why I am reporting it here https://www.heavens-above.com/AllSats.aspx?lat=34.11036&lng=-118.44846&loc=house&alt=300&tz=PST

One week before this date I saw an oval white light in the sky and I went to get my roommate. Once we both care out to see it was gone. On December 26th 2019, I saw the exact same shape in the exact same spot. I went to get my roommate again and we both saw it. It looked about a mile away. None of us could look directly at it, it was white and extremely bright. After about 5 minutes the craft moved around a bit and then disappeared.

My dad, and I saw about 6 lights of varying distances apart from each other extremely high in the sky flashing at times but, moving extremely fast. Disappeared one by one, seemingly fading into the night sky as if flying up at extreme speed. No sound was made.

Saw a bright orange / pink bright sky almost as If the sun has set. It was well over the Pacific off Santa Monica and Malibu. No lights near it. Over dark ocean. Entire sky dark blue and white clouds. This seem to get brighter at times, spread a little longer, never moved at all. Pic doesn’t do justice...
