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

Clear sky, calm, looking northeast for meteors I noticed a formation in the the same line at about 30,000 feet. I watched for a minute then went inside to tell my girl friend to check them out. We watched about 8 more for another minute. They were about 1/4 mile apart traveling at the same speed a normal jetliner would be doing. No sound was heard like a normal jet at this altitude.

I was sitting looking at the night sky when a perfect line of 4 moving lights appeared, I was in awe staring, then out of nowhere more balls of lights keep appearing in a straight line, there must of been 15-20 of these lights moving in a perfectly straight line, one right after another coming from out of the sky. It was one of the most miraculous experiences I’ve ever seen.

Me and my buddy was fishing at H.V.Eastmen lake and my buddy got my Attention as i looked up i seen round bright lights looking exactly like stars but moving extremely fast one after another in a stright line all the same distance from each other these lights had no nosie or trail after them one after another there was too many to count at least 30 they all seemed to disappear at a certain ppint and this kept going on for about 15 to 20 mins. This was a experience i will never forget unlike anything ive ever seen. We tryed to take video but it was just too dark as there was a small moon lastnight. WE ALSO Thought it was strange right after they stoped a group of coyotes started howling.

Poway, CA
Sighted 20 to 30 individual objects, white lights, traveling (spaced apart) in the same path from the SW. Heading: approx 65 degrees. Each object could traverse the viewable area, from SW to NE, in 30 to 40 seconds. Altitude estimated in excess of 100K feet.

At approximately 1:40 A.M. PST I was looking at the constellation Orion when I noticed movement. It took 1 second for my eyes to focus but and before they had done so I assumed satellite. Once my eyes focused, I saw 5 small dull lights in a V formation moving extremely fast from south to north. As the object passed over me the 5 lights seemed to be in such a formation that I immediately thought stealth bomber at a relatively low altitude. This was odd cause my initial thought was that this object was far away. As I was thinking this the 5 lights seemed to spread out then get close together before totally shifting formation in the air. At this point the object had traversed most of the sky and I realized that the formation and distance changed between the dull lights indicating that this was not 1 object but 5. As I was struggling to comprehend this object they got brighter and another one appeared. They did not get very bright. It was almost as if light was ! being reflected off them due to their angle and for a spilt second I thought they could be birds, snow geese in particular. As I thought this they lost that light got in a tighter formation and accelerated away. -I have never seen anything move this fast -The shifting of formation and changes in distance between the lights was unique -Object was completely silent -Altitude and distance was hard to gauge

Woke up at 23:00 to watch our unicorn meater shower .was out side for a fue mine smoked a cig.then laid in lounge for a fue mor min i got colder so I got up to go inside .that's when I saw 3 red lights in a row above the mountain where the sun sets in our city .it appeared as though it were a semitruck.drive to sanjose.and the lights turned off o e at a time as tho it were passing behind a building.it was dark and difficult to make out except for the lights.just after the lights went out I saw an actual semi go buy on the free way the opposite way...the lights were yellow/orange and on the ground well very close to it .my mind was and still is confused because the object /or objects.i firstsaw would have had to of been the size of a football field.

Visalia, CA
I was driving home(southbound) on Demaree St., when I looked up and I saw a strange orange-yellow, flame-like object to the south south East. When I stopped at a red light I could see that it was swaying back and forth over the trees below. It looked like a flame or fireball in the sky. I picked up my phone and started to record but could not get a good recording. I hurried to my house which was about a block away so that I could park my car and get a better shot. When I parked and got out of the car to look for it, it was gone. I did a short a vague video of the object.

I woke up to let my dogs out this morning around 5:20 am. I looked up at the sky and thought to myself how beautiful all the stars were this morning when I noticed one of the lights that I thought was a star started moving. I stood there wondering if it was maybe a plane, but an actual plane flew at a much lower altitude right beneath it. That’s when it faded away. Judging from the passing plane, I estimated that this light moved about 3-4 times faster and at a much higher altitude. Then, about 10 seconds later, another light started moving in the same path. I watched that one eventually faded away also. It almost looked like it flew in the direction of the moon. I must add that the night before we noticed some lights up in the sky that we’ve never seen before. If you would like to see a recoding of that, please contact me. It’s possible that these crafts may have been investigating what’s happening in this area because of that light in the sky.

There was a strange sting of lights,moving from side to side in a circular motion, doing quater turns from left to right and right to left. The lights stopped for a moment then returned and moved incredibly fast, then returned to the shifting from side to side

We witnessed a blimp like object that appeared to be circling the Oakland airport area. It was massive. Had some sort of black unknown text writing and possibly had people below. My girlfriend and I observed from our patio overlooking (with binoculars) and have pictures to support. It had a red blinking light on the bottom and looked very strange. We've lived here for over 3 years and have never seem anything like it. Our view is of the entire east bay and we can see the Oakland airport on a clear day. However, this stood out. To start, we've never seen anything like such described. It was huge and from first glance all white. It was easy to dismiss as a normal blimp but in retrospect we've had a change of thought. Like I stated, we've never seen anything like that before. It stood out. And the next day I remembered how strange it was to observe. So I googled every type of search that would pull it up. Found NOTHING. I mean NOTHING. I find it incredibly hard to believe that everyone in SF didn't comment on it and also take pics. If it was just another blimp why would it not be mentioned online somewhere. Which leads me here. I can't find a single picture online of this. I believe it was probably an emergency landing and not intended to be seen. It might have been some sort of military craft. Hard to say. Like I stated, it was easy to pass off as a normal blimp. And sadly, we didn't watch longer to see how it landed. I tried to film it but from our distance it only look like a large white spot. The picture are better. But what we saw in the binoculars is the most compelling. The writing was not legible. It looked like symbols. And it was far from what you would think was a promotional blimp. If was a normal blimp, we would've seen it before. And the black out of it online makes me believe we weren't supposed to see it. I think it could be a weather modification blimp that malfunctioned and needed to make an emergency landing. Hope you can provide more insight. I'm not sure how to send the picture but will if your interested. Thanks for being here. Hope your not the MIB haha

La Quinta, CA
Early morning, I stepped outside and saw three separate lights. Each was roughly the size of a vehicle. The formed a triangle, but seemed to be independent of each other. Two lower points were yellow, the upper middle point was orange. They quickly ascended the height of the surrounding mountains and just as fast hugged the top of a ridge and passed over and out of sight heading west. They did not continue upward, but back down the opposite side of the mountain. They were VERY large, made no noise. They traveled at a steady and high speed. I have lived in the La Quinta cove my entire life and have never seen an aircraft move over these mountains they way they did.

Palms Springs, CA
On November 17, 2019 at 2:25pm (Pacific), in a clear blue sky in Palm Springs, California (91 degrees farenheit), 4 individuals who were outside at a pool in their home, clearly saw a white, oval-shaped object hovering directly above at a height of about 15,000 to 20,000 feet. The object may have slightly left to right, but it was in a fixed location for the duration of the sighting. The object was then viewed through binoculars and it had an orb-like, oval-shape with a dark outline and appeared to be either rotating or vibrating fast. At 3:32pm, the object disappeared and despite searching the sky with the binoculars, we found no trace of it.

I was sitting in bed and I hear a weird radiating sound so I look out my window to see a bright white circle go flying across the sky at incredible speeds. Myself as a pilot could tell that almost no aircraft could go that fast without a sonic boom or deafening sound.

My husband and I were doing some rock hounding at Burris Creek and I had a strong urge to take some photos of the sun. I took about 25 shots and noticed in one frame a large bird and a craft of some sort. It is not visible in any of my other shots. Weather was gorgeous, 75, clear and breezy.

Riverside, CA
While in our morning walk, I looked up at the sky as I always do. It was a clear, sunny day with wispy clouds. I saw 2 bright white round objects stationary in the sky. I pointed them out to my husband. One was larger, as if perhaps closer than the other. My husband got out his phone to check the star map app. No stars in that location. Plus I have never seen a star during the day. They did not move as if they were balloons. Passenger aircraft flew over as normal on the way to Ontario International Airport. We both were fascinated but after trying to take pictures of them and not having much luck, we kept walking. I kept looking up but after a few minutes they either moved on or disappeared behind some clouds.

I saw a burnt orange color object hovering & drops of light fell off of it. I saw 3 drops of light fall down like it was dripping. I woke my partner to see it & it slowly flew away. It hovered for a while before it flew away. It was a very burnt orange color & at first I thought maybe it was Mars until I saw objects falling from it. Like lights coming down or falling down.

Corte Madera-Tiburon, CA
Multiple bright gold orange disc objects were seen crystal clear through high powered binoculars this time. These objects were huge and glowing. Some looked like funnels or cones. One or two of these objects hovered in same basic hilltop area for 20 minutes while others appeared in multiple locations. The largest disc was seen on 11-18-19 at basically the same time 11 P.M. as these sightings. These disc or cone objects looked like the star like objects people are reporting until seen through binoculars they are flying discs seen as clear as day.

We were out star gazing during a full moon at 2:00 AM at Shell Reef and took a picture of the moon and horizon and in the picture it captured a cylindrical long shape with a separate light source than the moonlight with what appeared to be a circular vapor trail.

Oro Grande, CA
I saw 2 bright lights flying East fairly close together. I thought they were planes but they both completely stopped moving then I could see 3 other dimmer lights with the other two in the shape of a diamond. They started moving slowly south. They stayed there and would move slowly short distances for about 20 minutes before clouds came and I could no longer see them.I saw no solid anything between these lights and they were not blinking.

I am an attorney taking a vacation overlooking the ocean when my wife sees 36 bright UFOs heading towards us in a row. She told me to get up from the couch and I, too, see the same 36 balls of light in a row like beads moving across the sky from my right. When I saw this I got my phone out and took photos and video, as did my wife. We took them as the line of 36 lights sped across our view. As they approached they were all bright. They moved too fast to be drones and without sound. I own one. I noticed the beads of light were not uniformly spaced and the lights varied in strength. They came from the west, over the ocean, heading towards us, they turned down the coastline in perfect view. We only got one good photo as they headed to south. As they moved south they disappeared into thin air, like going into a portal. The night being clear and we both were convinced this was ET. After I reviewed the photo, I could only confirm 36 orbs. There was one extra br! ight orb on the far right end, then a gap followed by 10 orbs that are brighter than most, all uniformly spaced. This reminds me of locomotive railcars or hierarchy.
