Playa Vista, CA
I saw a long string of lights which were in a perfectly straight line looked like they were connected in some way. They were above the cloud level and I heard no engine noise so they must have been relatively high. This would have meant that the string was very long. They were moving south across playa vista at a speed typical of an airplane.

Westminster, CA
I saw about 20 bright yellow spheres traveling North to South in an exact straight line very close together in the sky over my house. They did not vary in speed or interval and maintained a constant speed the entire 45 sec until they were out of my sight. There were no mountains or buildings to block their travel. They just disappeared as they went farther away from me. They were not going at a particularly high rate of speed.I am a retired man living in So Calif.

Chula Vista, CA
Just after arriving home I looked up in the sky and noticed what looked like a string of lights moving in a southerly direction, some of the lights were brighter than others. This line was not a perfectly straight line, it kind of reminded me of a sting of birds and how their line would be a little random, and not looked like it had a purpose. I have a watch that has a compass in it and that is how I knew which way they were traveling. The logical person in me kept looking for an explanation. Eventually the lights went dimmer due to the clouds in the area. It is the closest thing I've experienced with out explanation. Very interesting, This night has a Very Full moon, that had just risen in the east. The moon was not in the area where the lights were seen

Looking up in the night sky @ 18:00 hours I observed what appeared to be a string of lights, 20-30 of them traveling northwest to southeast, for approximately 2-3 minutes.There was no color in the light other than white. The location which best describes my location is California south west near the pacific ocean

Pioneertown, CA
I am not sure of time. It was early evening and the moon was approx between 9 - 10 on a clock. There were 6 of us outside enjoying the full moon and saw a long string of lights slowly crossing the sky then quickly vanish. Approx 12 distinct lights in the string of lights. I believe the lights were traveling from south to north. We tried to take pictures from our phones and nothing was visible.

Hemet, CA
Wife and I were outside while she was having a smoke. We saw a faint formation of lights approaching from the NW. Looked like a long stripe of light, as it passed overhead we could see individual lights, they disappeared to the SE. This turned out to be SpaceX Spacelink satellites which were launched earlier in the day, just in case you get any other similar reports. According to Heavens Above site they are supposed to be visible again tonight 11/12/2019 about the same time.

Canyon Lake, CA
Saw a long faint line traveling from northwest to southeast. Due to darkness was unable to estimate altitude. At first thought it was a banner tow rig but there was no noise. As it proceeded to the southeast, I saw a plane pass under it. It took about 45 seconds to cover approximately 40 degrees of sky.

Coto De Caza, CA
I was walking our dog with my daughter on the corner of via Buho and Via Coyote in Coto de Caza CA 92679 at 5:56 PM when we noticed a string of lights going across the sky in the Western sky. The lights were a significant distance away and I estimate where the length of about 15 airplanes given the far distance from the earth. There were approximately 15 lights were white with no color. I snapped a photo with my iPhone at exactly 5:58 PM Pacific time. Because of the dark sky and the distance the picture does not show anything but a black area. We noticed a string of lights with the lights towards the front center being slightly brighter than the very front and the tail behind. The string of lights were moving from west to southeast at approximately the height regular airplanes would fly. There was no sound emanating from the lights that we could discern. The lights were white in color. They moved in a string very steady without any obvious acceleration. Aft! er approximately 1 to 2 minutes the lights faded into the night. The lights appeared to maintain a relatively steady elevation, but may have been going up slightly diagonal across the sky.

Fairfield, CA
While sitting the hot tub with my kids, I glanced up and saw a string formation of lights heading southeast. I estimate that they were between 5 and 10 thousand feet in altitude because there was a plane above and to the west of it that was a commercial airliner. The lights were steady and not overly bright. The lights did not waver but were consistently in line with each other almost as if they were connected.

Redlands, CA
9 or 10 white lights spaced out along an object. appeared in the early night sky as we were walking kids. looked about the size of 1-2 football fields. seemed to be as high as an airliner would travel. no sound. at firtst sight we thought it was a banner being pulled by a plane but there was nothing in front of or behind. then as the object passed directly over head, from north to south, we noticed there was mass between the lights, which also seemed to be changing in proximity to each other. it was in view, overhead & out of sight in about 1 minute. Also took video on a cell phone which was not able to see anything but notes the experience & time

FairPlay, CA
This evening while leaving a friends home with my wife in FairPlay ca I looked into the sky and pointed out to my wife and my friend and his girlfriend a line of small lights that were what I would assume to be outside of the atmosphere because they were so far away. As we looked at these 15+ dots moving through the sky at incredible pace I pulled my phone out to try and record the event. Unfortunately I couldn’t even come close to seeing them on my phone because of how far away the objects were, but I did get a 3 second recording at 5:56 pm. We spotted the objects approximately 1 minute prior to turning my camera on and being on the top of a hill we watched them move in perfect formation south east for about 2-3 minutes. It was not dark enough to see stars in the sky yet but these objects were shining in the light of the full moon. After we no longer saw the lights in the sky we all talked and then said our goodbyes.

There were lights which appeared to be attached by a line/wire. They were traveling at around the speed of a typical, commercial/private aircraft. There was no noise and there was no visible craft pulling what looked to be stars/lights on some sort of invisible wiring system. The lights were headed Southwest.

On Monday evening, November 11, 2019 about 5:55 pm in Northern California, myself and three other people witnessed multiple UFO’s flying together. This lasted about 2 minutes until they all trailed off together. There was about 15 distinct lights flying in a straight line formation going east. Some lights were brighter than others and there wasn’t exact spacing between the individual spacecrafts. You could tell they were going fast as they were leaving tails behind them that the next was trailing into. It is hard to describe this surreal experience. I know what airplanes look like and fighter jet formations and satellites. But the amount of lights moving so fast and so high up in the sky was almost impossible. I had this overwhelming feeling of wonder and at the same time belief completely over take me. I even shed a few tears and had a lump in my throat by the end of it. Just seeing all of those individual lights moving so fast and so close together, I knew it was nothing of human technology. This was not in our atmosphere, they seemed on a mission with no looking back heading out of our galaxy. They were one with the stars. This ufo sighting was the most beautiful visual thing I have ever experienced. I was a believer before but now there is no doubt in my mind that we are not the only ones that inhabit this Universe.

Marina, CA
There was a line of lights connecting to dots moving in formation into what seemed to be a worm hole and disappeared. Phones couldn't capture the image though it was pretty bright. Seen from Marina Fort Ford beach left of monterey city light. Was dark already. We were taking a night walk and just before they appeared I stopped because I thought I heard something. We were alone.
