We were passing out candy for Halloween outside. In between passing candy out we were watching a video on my tablet while my wife was looking up at the stars. all of the sudden she noticed that there was something flying in the sky that was very dark and was Chevron shaped. She asked both of us what was that flying in the sky, so we looked up and all witnessed the craft flying. The sky was dark but the object was just slightly lighter grayish color so it was slightly visible. it was just bright enough so you can make the shape of it out but there were no lights and no sound. The object was flying southward over our house. We were all amazed at what we saw. About 15 to 20 minutes later my wife was in the backyard and witnessed yet again the object flying this time North. we have seen drones fly by before and you can hear the engines on those when they fly by but with this there was absolutely no sound and the shape was different. We are used to seeing milit! ary aircraft being close to the March air reserve Base and have seen a lot of planes flying at air shows so we know it was not a craft that we were used to seeing.

I was take photos of the sunrise facing east. I had my camera set up on a tripod doing long/multiple exposures. I was looking south to see if the boats (container ships) on the horizon line are moving or staying still. Just above the horizon a light caught my eye. At first it looked like a shooting star, it appeared to be moving at a 45º angle to the horizon, with a slight downward arc. When it was just above the horizon it darted up and then made a movement in the shape of a fish hook as it disappeared. It was about 3 to 5 times the thickness of a shooting star. About 5 to 7 times brighter than a plane but moved about 10x faster than a plane. The object did not reflect on the ocean and did get dimmer as it approached the horizon as to appear outside the earths atmosphere. The entire even happen in less than a second. As I saw it I put my hand on my phone in my pocket, by that time it was over.

I was outside in the backyard, and I looked up at the sky to look at stars and to try to see airplanes. I observed two stars to the southwest and one airplane possibly a commercial plane directly above me. I could tell it was an airplane because it had a blinking red light on the bottom and the wing lights were red and green. I then noticed more lights moving and observed an unidentified flying object crossing my field of vision from the south heading northwest. It was two pairs of amber lights flying at a seemingly slow pace. It would have had to be daylight to be sure but I am reasonably confident that the object was above the usual altitude for VFR flight but it seemed much closer and larger than a commercial aircraft which would place it somewhere between two and six thousand feet in my estimation. I have had some ground school and flight sim experience but not enough to identify altitudes at night confidently. The object increased in speed and flew off ! to the northwest.

Mission Viejo, CA
This was a small shiny object moving in every direction at an incredible speed. I noticed it when I looked up during daytime. I do not remember the exact time. I noticed it at the Mission Ranch Market parking lot. This was definitely not an airplane, helicopter, or any flying object known to me because it was very high up (thus seemed small) and moved in every direction. I hope you can spot it in the attached clip.

San Diego, CA
I was on an American Airlines flight (438) from Phoenix to San Diego when I saw a group of white circles flying in a square formation below the plane. My flight was flying west approx 20k feet and the formation was flying East at a significantly lower altitude. I would say prob at 10k - 12k feet, maybe less. Hard to say exactly. There were three or four rows of white circles with 4-5 circles in each row flying together in a very tight formation. The rows were all equal in number and each craft was the same size. The last row was missing two from the formation. The white circles were not glowing, did not have any other color or any other distinct other surface, each one was the same with no difference in size or shape. They looked like white frisbees and from my perspective in the plane, were about the size of a Certs peppermint candy. In comparison, houses on the ground looked to be lightly larger. The objects cast a shadow on the ground as did my plane as the weather was completely cloudless and sunny. I sighted the formation and since we were flying in opposite directions my view from the plane was very short.

Sherman Oaks, CA
My sighting. On the morning of October 28th 2019 at 8:30am I was on my way to work. My morning commute is about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Van Nuys to Santa Monica. Heading South on the 405 FWY. There were reports of a fire moving from the Getty Center area onto the Freeway. The 405 Freeway was shut down. Traffic was being diverted to the 101 Hollywood Freeway West. No one could go South on Sepulveda parallel to the 405. So I’m sitting in my car West on the 101 FWY heading towards the Haskell Ave. exit ramp in Sherman Oaks. I was just looking around waiting on the traffic to move when I saw 3 oval shaped UFOs hovering in the daytime sky 8:30am. Blue sky no clouds. 2 of them winked out and reappeared in a different section of the same area. One stayed stationary. They were about a thousand feet up. I pulled out my phone and got footage until the traffic started to move on. I notice by waring UV Sun Shades I was able to see them in a larger size than the naked! eye. They seemed bigger than they look on my phone cam. I have footage and stills.

Anderson, CA
Sitting on our front patio we saw a blue light that was about 4’ wide and about 8’ long move at our feet from left to right and moved about 20’ then gone. In the blue light it had several patterns that I could not detailed on. We have no traffic in area and we live at the end of a road next to a river area. No head lights could be seen from where we were.

Cylinder shaped craft fat into horizon looked like it was entering from the sky, comet-like tail training behind it. Then seemed to float in air with sunset reflecting off of it

I saw an object hovering in the same location. Very odd shape, dark in color. Maybe 5000 feet above ground. I was looking West. It slowly turned right, and headed North, picking up speed quickly.

Duarte, CA
I went out in my backyard at 6 am and looked up at the stars. The sky was black and clear, and the visibility was good, with no clouds or moon. I saw a small point of white light which I thought was a satellite almost directly overhead moving steadily north to south in a straight line. I estimated it would pass through Orion's belt, and a few seconds later it did, but it got fainter until it disappeared before reaching the stars representing Orion's feet. A few seconds later I saw another similar light a few degrees farther north moving in roughly the same trajectory also north to south, but this one blinked on and off every 5 seconds or so - with longer intervals between blinks than a jet. It too disappeared after about 30 seconds of viewing, never having reached Orion.

West Hollywood, CA
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.

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.

Santa Clarita, CA
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.

We were on our driveway with friends. The year the skull haped Halloween asteroid passed 130k miles from earth. Well, I was talking about aliens knowing of earth possible destruction and how the aliens have been leaving earth. Then we saw 2 blue lights possibly angels instead of ships, but they flew from idyllwild mountain over our heads then they went over the San Jacinto mountain. Circling each other and with no sound. They had to be going 3,000 mph yet had no sounds. We all saw it.

Redding, CA
At first it was a huge ball of light so bright after looking at it I saw spots. It faded to darkness and came back three times. After than it took the shape of a cigar and there were many red lights on the bottom of it but it illuminated a white light from the front. Again it did this 2 times switching from bright white ball to cigar shaped red then as it started to move south another cigar shaped object with red lights conjoined with the white light from the first object, it went super huge bright white light and disappeared.
