San Pedro, CA
We left from visiting family and on the way home with my family, I noticed something from a distance that was not normal. I saw a glowing object from a distance that I had to pull over to take pictures. After taking pictures we decided to follow the flying object so we did until we got to Long Beach Ca as we we’re following we also took pictures until we didn’t see the object.

Anaheim, CA
Red orange ball of light in sky. Didn’t have lights flashing every so often as a plan or helicopter does. No sound. Moved slowly. Dimmed lightly very few times. But no pattern when it would it happen. We saw it for about five minutes until we had to leave. So not sure how long exactly it was visible. Moved very, very slowly throughout the sky. At times, appearing to not move at all.

Cypress, CA
Standing outside saw a ball of light shoot so fast in a downward position my best guess is it was some place close to the North it was not high in the sky either it happened so fast! Than shortly after you see helicopters with possible police lights several circle area! I don’t know what city it was in but like I said near the Mountains towards the North possibly near Hacienda Heights I’m not entirely sure of location but we saw it and it was really nothing like I’ve seen before!

Ramona, CA
Lights went out in my neighborhood. West end of Ramona, CA. After lights went out there was a very bright flash/explosion of white light near the ground on the north end of Ramona. No sound and no sirens. Only one other person (neighbor) saw the light. SDGE reported over 3000 without power but no explanation, no discussion about the bright light flash/explosion. So, what happened?

Half Moon Bay, CA
I CAN SEE PILLAR POINT AIR FORCE BASE FROM MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW. AT APPROXIMATELY :45 AM ON FRIDAY NIGHT DEC. 6, 2019 ( JUST TURNED SATURDAY MORNING DEC. 7, 2019) THE SKY OVER PILLAR POINT AIR FORCE BASE LITE UP GREEN (SIMILAR TO THE COLOR OF THE NORTHER LIGHTS IN ALASKA). I RAN TO THE WINDOW TO LOOK AT THE SKY AT WHICH TIME I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN VERY SHORT ( BLINK OF THE EYE) POWER OUTAGE. I HAVE DIRECT TV AND THE SERVICE WENT INTO RESTART MODE. I was too stunned to think in time to take a picture, but would like more information about what kind of activity could create such an event

I walked out of my house Wednesday evening, 12/04/2019, at about 9:55 at night, I got to the edge of my walkway turned around Facing East and saw a rather large ball of light hovering in the sky for a split second, and then shot off to the North at an extremely high rate of speed, and then disappeared.

Los Angeles, CA
Around 8:50pm While driving south on 110 fwy, my passenger and I spied a very bright streak of light that seemed much larger and brighter and faster than a plane or star could be. The streak moved horizontal to the ground, got a bit brighter than disappeared.

Oceanside, CA
This sighting happened this morning, Thursday, November 28th, 2019 at around 8:20am. It looked somewhere northwest over Oceanside, CA. Hard to tell exactly where. I was in the Emerald/College area of Oceanside, so this was maybe over the San Luis Rey Mission area, for my best guess. The weather conditions were pre/mid storm. There had been some rain this morning and I could see rain coming down in the sunlight over to the east, so I knew there’d most likely be a rainbow. I went outside to look to the west, where there were dark clouds, and could see the rainbow out west over the ocean. As I’m viewing it, some movement catches my eye, just a little more northwest. I can see three lights moving around in very odd and fluid ways. One almost seemed to do a circle or a loop. The others were kind of moving side to side or up and down. None of this was in a rigid type way like what I’ve seen with drones. All movement was very smooth and fluid. I’m watching these three lights, and my dad was seeing it as well, agreeing it was very odd, and he had no idea what it might be as well. The lights would hover, and at times would fade or dim, and it was hard to track them, as the sky was grey, and they’d kind of fade into the grey. I’m able to see the three lights again, but all of a sudden they just went into formation. The three lights all went into a horizontal row, and two more lights suddenly appeared in this formation. So there were five lights in a row. At times it appeared there could be up to eight lights in a row at times. All moving as if they were one object, kind of up and down or left to right at times, or just hover. This is when the lights would fade out a lot more, then get brighter, and I was having more of a hard time tracking them, or telling exactly how many there were. Sometimes it would seem like more lights would appear, or sometimes change order in this formation. Eventually after watching what would appear to be a “stereotypical” UFO (a row of multiple lights, not moving in any way I’ve ever seen a plane, helicopter, or drone move) for about a minute, it just disappeared. I didn’t see it zoom off or anything. It’s almost as if it just went invisible. The weather is now a pretty strong storm, with heavy rains, and I have been hearing thunder. Lightning is expected for this storm as well. I am curious if this is related to the expected lightning storm, as I’ve seen other weird sightings in the sky during storms.

Ventura, CA
Ventura California, November 27, 2019 at approximately 2:45am witnessed a large flat light come down vertically to ground, the entire night sky became very bright almost white, the lights in the house started flickering with like a power surge, electrical surge., then it was gone. Entire event took no more than 15 seconds I live on the hillside in Ventura, California, so my view is all the way from the hillside to the Conejo Grade (101 Frwy), out to Pt Mugu, the Santa Clara Islands and all the way up to Santa Barbara. On Nov 27th around 2:45 am I was in my Living room with my son when this light appeared. The light, rather flat beam came down vertically it looked like a very wide flat beam of light. The beam covered quite a large area; I would say half up to the entire length of the runway at the airport. When the tight touched the ground (within a few seconds) the entire night sky lit up brighter than anything I have ever seen. It was very white and bright. My son was facing the window, I had my back to the window and noticed the room light up, so I turned and saw this huge, wide flat beam of light from the sky to the ground over the Camarillo Airport. The light became very bright almost white, then the lights in the house started flickering and surging. At that time, I turned away from the light and looked down my hall to see if the house was shaking, thinking that it might have been a earthquake. Frankly I am very surprised it didn’t blow the power, or at least the transformers, because you could tell that the surge was not a normal flicker lights power outage kind of event. Something was taxing the power. The entire event lasted less than 15 seconds. There was no sound from this at all. The sky was cloudy with rain, so when we went outside to look up there was nothing that we could see because of the cloud cover. The light was so bright, and it must have covered a good 10 – 15-mile radius. My son felt like the light was maybe from an explosion or bomb, and in fact for a split second felt as if the windows would blow out, but there was no sound. No thunder and lighting, no explosion, nothing, completely silent. At that point we waited to see if there were any police or fire department lighted cars or trucks going in the direction of the airport nothing. Got on social media (twitter, Instagram), to see if anyone saw it….nothing. turned on the local news ….nothing. Our cat was completely puffed up, as he does when he sense’s danger, or another animal around. As I type this a good 24 hours have passed, and we have not found anyone besides my son who saw this, which is even more baffling.

Hello. I’m working at a house we own to fix it for sale. My friend tells me to look at a roofing shingle that was caught on a cable wire that ran from a pole to the upstairs unit. As im looking at the shingle I saw what I first thought were brids, sea gulls, circling up high.But they were uo too high and they didn’t have wings. They werent heading in a direction. They were circling around in a small area, going in and out and around in no pattern. That’s why I thought they were sea gulls. They were white and I couldn’t make out if they were disks or round. But they were circular. I didn’t take my eyes off them, not even for a second because I was slowly beginning to think they were extraterrestrial craft. My friend I was with saw the fleet of UFOs over our town one day standing on his balcony. Plus, I saw my first UFO go right over our house in 2014 july 2. I was called to go look at a house that needed painting by my employer/ friend . I didn’t want to g! o cause it was Sunday. On the way down the hill , right below where our house is, I saw what I first thought was a paper bag that blew up from the parking lot of a grocery store down below about 60 yards away. I stopped and looked, never taking my eyes off it. I began to sense something not right, because the plastic bags are white and this thing was a brass color and seemed to be floating along with the wind, which is why I thought it was a bag. It floated over a tree on our property and I noticed the sun reflect off it. That’s when I knew it was metallic. It was a disk with a convex area on the bottom. No seams or lights and it was low enough that I could almost hit it with a rock. Since then im always on the lookout for UFOs. Getting back to the 7 UFOs , they were right below the clouds circling around and I never took my eyes off them. They moved around for about 90 seconds and then faded away, maybe moving up into the clouds. They were gone. I yelled for my friend to look but he wasn’t interested in seeing some birds, so he didn’t bother. I knew then they were UFOs and told him about what I saw. I kept looking and explaining how they acted. Its not every day you get to see craft from another star system. After about 3 minutes of talking a jet fighter came along and went throught the exact area where the objects were. I didn’t bother calling the air force base near us because I know they will deny everything.

Just before sunrise on the morning of the 25th of November 2019 I was sitting in my hot tub with three other friends at my property near bald rock in berry creek California and we were observing satellites and discussing them when we saw what looked like four satellites very close to each other moving from the west to towards the east. They were in a staggered line formation, all traveling the same speed and direction, approximately the same speed a satellite moves, but a bit slower, and at first we thought they were satellites on a similar orbit. As the objects passed from our far left to far right field of vision we began seeing more and more of these objects essentially moving in a staggered line formation and stretching for well over a mile. It took at least three minutes for them to all pass to the far right of our field of view and out of sight. There were several triangle formations within this staggered line but it appeared they were three separate o! bjects, not on me triangular shaped object. There was no sound and no bright lights. Just a steady line of these dots that were unambiguously remarkable. The sky was completely clear and there were no clouds. After approx two minuites of watching I ran to get another friend who confirmed what we were seeing as he was still able to see about ten of these objects in the last minute or so that they were visible so that makes five witnesses total. . I have seen many strange things out in the mountains where I live because there is very little light pollution but this was single handed lay the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.

sitting in backyard looking up noticed a steady light that looked like a satellite, nothing blinking.I told my wife sitting next to me that I see a satellite. just then the light faded as if to be travelling away from the sun. aas the light faded I noticed it was actually a much larger object and much closer than a satellite. it was travelling in a northbound direction. It had an elongated appearance.

I woke up early and took my dog outside, it was still dark and I was looking at the night sky when I though I saw a satellite, I watched it for a few seconds before it disappeared, I then noticed several more following in the same direction, all equal distant apart except for one which was flying to the right of the group, I counted ten in a row that were going North to South. The all looked like satelittes or stars (very high), no flickering from lights and they were moving too fast for an aircraft. I was an aviator in the US military for 30 years and have never seen anything like this.

I would like to report a strange sighting on December 23rd, 2019 at about 9:30 PM. I am a geoscientist and I have no answer with what I saw in the sky that night. I know living near and working for the State of Nevada that a lot of military things go on around here but this was way different. I was in my hot tub outside with a lady friend, as a witness, on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range looking directly East towards Yerington, Nevada. The event lasted long enough for both of us to watch it for about 15-20 seconds. There was a triangle shaped object in the sky that was brightly lit up with the point of the object moving to the north as it was coming from the south. The whole object was lit up to define it’s shape and was behind a faint cloud (less dense) where the shape of the light could easily be seen flashing thru the cloud. It made about 12 very quick motions up and down at 90 degree angles in the sky and was flashing light as it made the changes in direction. The shape was easy to follow as it passed thru the faint cloud. As it passed out beyond the cloud, it just turned into a bright ball of light, brighter than the surrounding stars so you could still track it for a few more seconds as it continued to travel north. Crazy light show for sure. Date of sighting, indicated by witness, was flawed. We have attempted to contact the party, but unsuccessfully. We have amended the date above. PD

I went to check mailbox early in the morning and noticed what looked like a satellite tracking through the sky. I watched it for a few second and notice another object behind it, and then another appeared. There ended up to be 15-20 objects tracking in a straight line across the sky. They had the same appearance as a satellite in the early morning before the sun comes up, how you can only see them in a certain part of the sky because the not yet risen sun is shinning on them. They appeared in the southeast sky and and lost illumination in the northeast sky. I thought that was odd because of the orientation of sun in the early morning will usually illuminate satellites all the way into the southern sky. Anyway, I shot some video with my cell phone, but it came out real grainy of course. I tried to theorize what it possible could have been, at the time I thought maybe a meteor or some string of satellites. Meteor would be out of the question though because all! the objects were uniform in size and there was no flare like activity and they were illuminating themselves or reflecting the sunlight. The whole event lasted for about ten minutes
