This craft hovered for a couple minutes then picked up speed with no sound this was the 2nd time I've heard or seen something in the sky. The last time was a loud vibration with a frequency unexplainable which hovered over my house for 30 minutes.

Multiple rainbow colored plasma star like objects show up the night before the fires start in Northern California. These lights were colors all melted together into one yellowish orange purple undefineable color. This is possibly the most lights I have ever seen on one night. The night of 10-21-19 was almost exactly the same in number of objects seen. Extreme heat and clear visibility during these sightings.One witness saw a triangle formation of bright lights moving swiftly to the southeast and did not want to stick around to see anything else.There were multiple sightings of pairs of these rainbow colored lights with the object on the left slightly higher up than the one on the right.At one point in a pair of lights sighting the object on the left plummeted straight down behind the hill while the other continued to hover and expand in shape for about 2 minutes and then shrink down to a tiny dot.A stunning amount of lights were also seen on the night of 10-27-1! 9 at around 11:45 P.M. when there was still a total power blackout in effect in this area of San Anselmo-Kentfield Mt. Tamalpais area.

I don't know my directions so I can't tell you exactly where it was. It was between a triangle of three stars straight above me. I looked up and I saw an orange light kind of triangular shaped. As soon as I looked up at it the lights turned off on it and that I couldn't see it anymore. I don't know how long it it been there I'm just surprised that I caught it.

Because we are so close to the airport And in a big city I already knew the changes were slim. We are quite used to all of the airplane traffic that is constantly buzzing over our skies - and can very easily identify planes and helicopters etc. Around 1:06AM I went to the backyard to have a seat and check around for some shooting stars - while gazing at the east direction near Orion’s Belt and clear where incoming planes come to land I saw a bright elongated vertical shaped light. I immediately thought it was wierd bc it was not moving and atill changing form. I watched it for a few minutes before it’s shaped turned more circular -and moving lights. Rapidly moving lights. The object in the sky did not move and was flashing all kinds of lights - purple blue green red white - I decided it was bizarre enough (now with no planes landing AT ALL -usually one lands ever few minutes) To run inside and grab the binoculars. I have a pretty decent pair and what I was able to see was a small circular shape with crazy lights flashing furiously. I took a few videos as well. Upon gazing at the sky some more -it appeared there were 6 other mysterious crafts around the eastern skies - these ones were not flashing colors and not nearly as low as the other craft.

I was looking up in the direction of Orion so I could see the meteor shower tonight. Suddenly I saw 3 lights, which I thought were stars, gliding across the sky. One light was further ahead than the other two, they caught up to each other and then flew away.

I was doing my morning workout at Griffith Park when I saw a light slowly flash in the night sky. I looked up and noticed that it came on again but not in line to where it appeared to be going. It slowly flashed again and this time it was at another location. This flashing and zig zagging went on until it was hidden behind trees. It was going in a direction (SW) but kept flashing and zig zagging along. It appeared to be rather high (maybe several thousand feet) and made no sound. I wondered if it may have been the Astra jumping?

Got a call from mother in law to go out my front porch . I went outside and looked up. Saw a huge formation and what looked like helicopter trying to keep up with it . Called the kids out they were in awe . When the formation got closer to populated area it got super bright and broke off into smaller comet type pieces .

I saw a huge cluster of lights in the night sky shortly after 10:00 hours. It is difficult to estimate the size of the array but the majority of the "lights" - about 100-150 - were primarily multi-colored (not vivid but soft hues pink/yellow/green/light blues etc) with several white lights - 5-10 - that were much larger in size. The cluster was low on the horizon above the tree-line when I noticed it. My best estimate is that it was at least 2 or 3 miles across and 1 mile from top to bottom and 5-10 miles away, perhaps even 20 miles away. I stared for a few seconds before going inside my house to ask my wife to come take a look. I immediately realized the cluster was slowly descending below the tree-line and we could only see the upper portion. The array was still clearly visible and she witnessed it too. She went to get her mom from inside the house but the lights had descended out of sight from our viewpoint.

I was driving my children home from dinner and my son pointed at something in the sky that looked like a large floating city. I pulled over my vehicle to get a better vantage point on what he was seeing. We could see what appeared like an enormous craft moving from west to east. I took out my phone and began taking pictures. After taking several pictures, the craft appeared to combine intro one large bright light initially and then the light multiplied into several separate bright lights totaling around 12 separate lights. The lights appeared to be descending from the craft towards the ground at a very rapid descent. Within seconds of their descent, the lights vanished along with the larger craft. I have photos of each step of this event captured to the best of my ability. I was shaken, and could not believe what I had just witnessed. During the entire event, there appeared be several helicopters circling the large craft. We could faintly make out the sound ! of the helicopters, which numbered at least 6-8. They remained in the area circling the same area even after the craft disappeared.

So my family and I were at a baseball stadium that was for haunted houses so very dark so the stars were very easy to see and in the distance we saw about 30 to 40 stars and we thought it was a constellation but they all started to move so three of us stay and watched them and they all moved into one big ball of light like a huge star and we looked away for not even a minute and it just disappeared, not one light in the sky. Like it was never there. And we kept looking all night and couldn’t see it again.

Driving through the neighborhood north/northwest we saw approximately two dozen lights, in formation, slowly descending. It’s possible the lights were connected to one craft or several different crafts in formation. They were similar to an isosceles triangle with a wide base and short sides. We also noticed what appeared to be several aircraft heading toward the object or near it. I made my girlfriend stop the car (in the middle of the road) so I could snap a photo. She, a pragmatist, could only explain the phenomenon as a “drone show”. I snapped a photo but failed to realize the flash was on, and the photo does not do the sighting justice.

I have video of a KRON 4 News @ 9 weather and flight delay report. There was an object in the sky completely still. The object was large and spherical with multiple pulsing lights not in any particular pattern I could identify. I was unable to view any stars in the sky at the time, just a cluster of pulsing lights. The craft seemed rather large considering there were commercial airliners in the forefront of the frame and the object, in the distance was still much larger than them.

Watching tv when I heard a noise in the backyard. When I went to check it out I didn’t see anything. It was a cold night and the sky was lit with stars had no choice to admire the bright clear sky. Standing there for a couple of seconds I noticed what appeared to be a star, but it was moving slow and then it stopped. 10 seconds later a flashing red light was moving all around the object, going up,down,left,and right at a incredible speed. I got kinda spooked and couldn’t really figure out what I was looking at. Went inside to tell my gf who was sleeping, by the time she went to take a look it was gone.

On the night of October 13, 2019 around after 7 PM in Fresno,Ca.I was outside in my backyard I had my NIKON D3300 Camera when I noticed to the West I saw this star like object moving in a steady speed so, I started taking photos. I then noticed it turning right going South. It was silent. After losing sight of it later, I heard Helicopters maybe two but, was unable to see them I guess due to the fact I had tall trees in my yard. I proceeded to go inside my house. I was the only witness. When I saw this object up close on my computer I saw that it was very odd. It looked like two Boomerangs together but with space in between the two. The object/s looked wide, dull and very metallic with high lighted areas on the ends of this craft whatever it was. I never saw anything like this. I never heard of a double Boomerang object? During that week it was a full Moon but, I do not remember seeing the moon that night. I will submit my cropped zoomed in and highlighted photo of this object in email Thank You

Mt. Shasta (near), CA
On or about October 11th, 2019 a small group of friends gathered around 9 pm to watch the nearly full moon rise above a forested ridge in the Trinity Mountains just west of Mt Shasta, CA. We had binoculars, warm jackets, Apple Cider (non alcoholic) and fresh baked apple and pumpkin pie. While we were watching the moon rise in a southeasterly direction, we were looking at some developing vapor trails from high altitude jets flying the routes up and down the heavily traveled west coast. While doing this we noticed a string of lights (no vapor trail) that seemed to be at a fairly low altitude and headed from north to south over the mountain range we were on. These lights were not very bright and seemed like they were attached to a structure of some sort that was very long and narrow but not linear, the lights seemed to be adjacent to each other or within a cubist framework. It seemed to be probably a hundred meters long and one or two wide, not knowing the exact altitude made it very difficult to judge its size. We could hear a faint sound like a small piston engine turning a prop, making me think it was a drone towing something. It must have been going 50 mph or so. There were no lights that we could see that looked like aircraft ID lights. We were at an elevation of about 5500’ overlooking Mt Shasta city to the East x northeast of us. Our first sighting was to the northwest at about 80 degrees, the angle decreasing to about 60 degrees as they got out of sight to the southwest of us.

Caught a bright light falling from the sky at around 22:00. It almost looked like a helicopter light, it was bright and traveling east to west. When all the sudden it literally fell from the sky. Couldn’t catch where it landed as it went behind a high rise towards the ocean. Possibly into the ocean? Near Santa Monica or south of there? It never reappeared so I can only assume it was heading towards the water. No sound. Couldn’t tell how close or far away, but there was cloud/smoke (from a wildfire farther north) coverage across all of Los Angeles and visibility was low. Could not see stars or moon due to it.
