North Little Rock, AR
N/NE direction, just above the tree line, My daughter and I were driving east when we witnessed a line of bright lights, rectangular shaped, alternately blinking. Bright and sharp like LEDs with hints of color. Seemed to be decending but not clear about that since we were driving. Lights were in perfect line, so we assumed they were part of one long craft.

For the record, my family and I just saw something extraordinary in the Southern California skies. We all had the same reaction— it was not normal. It was unidentified and it was flying. This occurred at roughly 19:30 pm on Friday, Oct 24, 2019. Sitting on our deck outside our West Hollywood townhouse, I looked up and saw what looked like two planets, close together. I had never seen anything like this-- two planets, alone in the night sky in close proximity. This was looking toward the south east. I thought it was a unique configuration of, perhaps, Mars and Venus. I know very little about astronomy, but I knew this was unique. Very few stars were visible, largely because of urban lights. But these two objects were piercing and bright, like a planet amid stars. I alerted this site to my wife ((wife's name deleted)) and sister ((sister's name deleted)). They saw the “planets.” As we watched, the "planets" suddenly began to disappear, or retreat. Specifically, the planet on the right side of the tight configuration began to fade first. Then the second “planet” to the left began to fade. They lost brightness in a thirty second to one minute span, disappearing into the sky in what seemed to be away in a direct line from our position toward outer space. We do not know if the objects were within the atmosphere or outside of it. I would say these very bright objects were roughly 45 degrees above the horizon in a direction from Holloway Drive in West Hollywood house toward the sky above Long Beach or thereabouts. This is a layman’s way of describing a direction that might be much different. We are a mentally stable family. We (three of us) are all certain we saw something extraordinary tonight. I hope others saw something similar and can corroborate our sighting. I have never seen anything like this, nor reported anything like this to any official or unofficial organization. We will never forget what happened a little more than an hour ago. Sincerely, ((name deleted)) 310-((number deleted))

Anaheim, CA
Good evening around 1845 on Thursday Oct 24 2019 my wife and I were driving Northbound toward Los Angeles on the 405. As we were passing through the town of Anaheim we noticed a unusual egg/oval shaped object that appeared to be floating then suddenly moving downward and upward erratically. I quickly pulled out my phone to try and capture what we were both witnessing. What we were seeing was approximately 100 yards off the highway and seemed to be above a parking garage by the looks of it. The color of the craft was grey in color with some shimmery texture to it. It appeared to be maybe 10-15 feet in height but was hard to tell as we were driving and it was moving frantically. I looked online on multiple sights and asked on multiple social media sites to see if anyone else that was around witnessed the same thing. I was able to get a decent 20-25 second video of the craft which I will attach. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that it’s a big balloon that usually car dealers put on the cars if they are having a big sale of some sort. But after getting closer and than witnessing the object quickly come down then go back up I realized it couldn’t be a balloon cause they do not move that erratic or suddenly. Also there was no strings or anything attached to this thing. What I could tell this object was approximately 75-100 feet in the air. A little background on myself, I have noticed unusual objects flying since moving out here in California 4 years ago. I’m 28 years old and am a Marine Corps OEF combat veteran. Served just over 5 years before coming out here. After that I worked for the government as a contractor and was around aviation heavily so I have a strong deep understanding and knowledge of aviation and in general flying. This sighting was for sure a bit off and it wasn't anything iv seen nor know of that would be able to maneuver the way this thing did. Hope this was detailed enough and I was able to shed some light on the issue. Stay vigilant.

Palermo, CA
I was sitting on my front porch when I noticed 5 to 8 round objects flying in a line one after the other. At first I thought that it was an odd group of geese but geese do not fly one behind the other they in v formation and honk. These objects moved faster then birds flying made no noise were lined up one behind the other in a perfect straight line. I do live in the area of Beale Air Force Base but these objects made no noise moved faster then birds but not as fast as a jet and made no noise

Saw 4 spheres floating at an altitude 10,000 ft. A commercial aircraft with an ice contrail flew a good distance behind them. They were gone within 5 mins. They looked silver in color and shimmered.

Carlsbad, CA
UFO sighting on 10/24/2019 in Carlsbad CA around 11:25am I saw a shiny flying object over North sky at the intersection of Alicante road and Alga road in Carlsbad CA today. I was driving my husband to his appointment around 11:25 am today. As I was stopping at the traffic light on Alicante Road facing North, I saw a very unusual looking object in the North sky, in the direction right behind the traffic light. The object looked like a formation of four or five shiny light, almost like a gigantic drone look. I saw it flying or hovering in the direction of North sky for a couple of second. Then it disappeared for a few second. Then it re appeared for another couple of second. Then disappeared once again. I had to drive away after the signal turned green, so I don't know if it kept flying over the sky after this. I asked my husband to take a picture of it with his phone while this happened. But he was not looking at the same direction as I was, so he was not able to take a picture. He did not see it. I don't think it was a drone because of the size and very random place and time. If it was a drone flying near the traffic light, I should be able to see as a drone. This was flying far and high. It was not a regular airplane nor helicopter I see everyday. I’ve never seen something like this.

Observer 12 bright orange aircraft I assume. It is hard to tell altitude or size but would guess under 3000 ft. Made no sound. Not moving fast but moving at a decent clip. The lights or light were not really defined, kind of blurry. Seen by myself and my wife. I have video

While driving to work I noticed a white light that was blinking and seemed to be moving towards the road I was driving on. It seemed not like a conventional air plane marking light that was what caught my attention. As I continued along the road I was on it seemed be moving in my direction. At one point it seemed to stop and change direction away from mine. After a half a mile it seemed to have just vanished from the area it was visible in. There were no additional marking lights such as red or green that are seen sometimes. Also the white light that was blinking seemed a bit hazy verses a more sharp light similar to a strobe light. The height it was at was similar to where a small single engine plane or helicopter might be flying at.

Bright almost circular light in the sky while driving on I-215 heading north towards exit 1 . The object came out of no where.. insanely bright, no other stars were out, nothing explainable. I couldn't tell if it shot left or right instantly, but once I noticed it, it took off FAST! The brightest purest light completely vanished.

On 10/24/2019 I went out to my deer hunting stand. I got to the stand and laid down in it flat on my back to wait for the sun to come up. It was very close to 6:00 a.m. Central Time. It was a very clear night sky (technically early morning) with only a sliver of moon and I was just enjoying the stars when I saw what looked like a star traveling across the sky but rather quickly, about a ¼ the speed of a shooting star. It went in a NNE direction. As I was trying to figure out what would travel at such a speed I spotted another one on the same trajectory and then another and another, usually spaced a similar distance but not always. Some were rather close together but always on the same path and speed. All told I counted 29 of them and the very last one was slightly off the path of the others. I cannot reason what could travel that speed so far in the sky. The lights did not blink and they did not fade while traveling until they just got to far off ! in the distance. Like I said, they looked exactly like the stars around them and there was 29 of them. It was very quiet, no wind and yet there was no noise. I prefer to be contacted via email or text initially as i do not answer phone calls whose number I don't recognize. Sincerely rb

Green Valley, AZ
On our 5:00 AM walk, my husband stopped and pointed to the sky. He had seen a triangular craft enter the sky. He describes it as similar to a crocodile surfacing in black water. He was not sure if it had lights or if it was just reflection from the highway. It was over the I-19 freeway about a quarter mile high. It emerged near Duval Mine Road and the I-19. shortly after it entered, it blended into the sky. I missed the initial entry. When I saw it, it looked like a piece of the night sky had been cut out and was moving south. It was large, about the size of our house. There was no noise. At first I thought maybe it was a large owl, but there is no way. I watched the piece of the sky move slowly for about 4 or 5 minutes until it disappeared to the south of us.

At about 1:00 AM Pacific standard time I looked South out my patio door and saw what appeared to be a white light approaching in the distance. Appeared at first to be the light from a helicopter coming towards me however it appeared to turn west and began to accelerate towards the Pacific Ocean at a 45 degree angle and continued at a decent speed until no longer visible, like if it continued at that angle it would go into orbit. I thought it must have been a rocket launch but it was just a ball of white light. There were no flashing lights like a jet or some other type of aircraft and no sound. It did not have exhaust like I’ve seen before on a rocket launch but when it turned and accelerated the light seemed to trail slightly behind it like a teardrop till it was too small to see anymore. I wish I grabbed my phone but I knew I wouldn’t get it in time. It really bothered me because I couldn’t explain it. Couldn’t find any reports of a rocket launch either f! or that evening. Never seen anything like it before.

I woke up to a vibration and humming sound, and I saw a light outside. It stayed there for about 20 minutes, and then the light and sounds stopped. I then heard what sounded like a plane flying away. The light was very bright, and the humming was quiet but clearly heard.

We sleep with our window open so I was laying in bed and saw a large star so I was starting at it for a while but then it started moving oddly. It started going in small circles that turned into larger circles. After a few seconds it started going back and forth proceeding flashing lights. Then it vanished.

My son and I were stargazing when we noticed a triangle-shaped object in the sky, with white lights that pulsed bright then dim. It hovered at what appeared to be quite high in the sky for at least 30 minutes. It was still there when we decided to go inside--we were not able to get a clear photo with either of our phones.

I immediately went inside to get my husband. He saw the same thing. As we were standing out there watching it, we saw more details. There seemed to be lights in the center that were circulating. These were red, white and blue in color. We also saw lights blinking at different points on the triangle in irregular patterns. Sometimes the light would get brighter in the center and the go outwards to the points. After watching it for about an hour, off to the right a bright light jetted across the sky at lightning speed toward the triangle. After seeing this, I looked around and saw several more triangles directly above where we were and an additional one very close to the larger triangle. They all had a similar appearance to the larger one. Just after seeing all of these object I saw what seemed to be small balls of light leaving from the points of the large triangle The large triangle and the smaller ones did not seem to move at all for a good hour. We came inside for a little bit and when we went back out I could still see the large object but it had moved and I could not see it as well as it was obscured by the trees. The smaller triangles were no longer in the sky. We saw a lot last night.

last night me and a friend had gone on a car trip around the Kinzua Dam, The light that I saw had seemed to have 2 bright very slowly blinking lights with what appaired to be a green ring or other light around it. the light had to only be about 300-500 feet above the ground, with that said the lights that had seemed to glow on and off slowly. reflecting of the water the craft had to had been low enough to allow the lights to reflect. it almost seemed to hover looking back at us about maybe a half mile away. It did not appeared to have any sort of propeller nor did it make a sound such as an airplane or drone would.

Idaho Falls/Shelley, ID
Saw a circle of flashing yellow and white lights (around the outside, in the middle of the circle there were yellow/green twinkling lights) hover just above roof-height of a metal shed in a field between Shelley and Idaho Falls. It flew straight in the air heading south then changed directions in the same speed (not altering speed yet making a 90° change in course) towards the ground (dropped down to the ground) out of sight behind the area where the shed was.
