Grass Valley, CA
Went outside to check on puppy. Looking up at all the beautiful stars saw what appeared to be a star moving zig-zag for the most part straight line. No other blinking lights as a plane....no sound as for a plane....very slow not a shooting star or meteor.

El Dorado Hills, CA
While walking on dark moonless night I noticed flashes of light up near some oak trees may be 50 yards away and thought it was a drone at first but another source of light pulled my attention to about 10 yards in front of me near some cattails in the is little marshy area- Again I thought drone but the lights were not connected and flashed, faded and then sped away back up towards where I saw the first flashes. I thought well maybe it was kids with lasers pointers but the angles and lights didn’t move like that. My music had stopped playing and I was a little freaked felt like the lights had run off and away from me, so I wasn’t in a panic but alert for sure.

On the evening of Friday, July 26th, 2019, I was out in my side yard just South of Sacramento California. It was close to midnight and dark, with normal light pollution for my area. I was facing North when I saw above me in my peripheral vision something moving fast in my direction. I looked up and saw a very large rectangle moving very fast approximately North to South over Sacramento and it continued its course until I could no longer see it in the distance (was still heading South). It crossed almost directly over my head at what seemed to be above a normal airplane altitude but spanned the distance of the entire sky in approximately 8 seconds from the time I first saw it. I don’t know how fast that is but it made the F-22 Raptor I’ve seen near Fresno seem sluggish, cumbersome, and awkward flying in comparison. It traveled effortlessly, was a light color, possibly silver or a light grey—I could see it in the dark but it had no lights on at all—and it also made no sound. The rectangle was approximately the shape of a stick of gum. I’d guess about a 3 to 1 ratio with no other form to it and it went forward in width rather than length wise. I wish I knew more but I only had enough time to think I would Google it to find out what it was. In doing so I found no explanations for what it could be besides a UFO. I was elated after seeing this, it was a pretty wonderful sight. The only thing I can think is Beale Air Force Base up North but again I found no satisfying information on the internet.

A small bright, bluish dot came up over my house as I sat in my backyard hot tub. I stargaze out there almost every night so I am well accustomed to airplanes, helicopters, shooting stars, and satellites sightings. At first I thought his object was simply a bright satellite as it was tracking in a smooth slow trajectory up over my house in an area of sky where I usually spot satellites as they traverse at night. It was after about 10 seconds of observation that I witnessed the small bright object pause, then continue slowly, then pause and hover again. This told me it was definitely not a satellite and had to be a craft of some sort. It then continued forward but made a slow "S" shaped squiggle of its flight path unlike any airplane, drone, or helicopter would generally execute. It paused once more and then began to get brighter. I realized it was descending from a much higher altitude to a lower one. It was not quite directly over me at this point but very near vertical as far as the angle at which I had to look up. Once it got low enough I could distinctly see it was circular and convex on the bottom, perhaps a sphere, but possibly more flattened. Color was black or dark gray from what I could make out. The bright light was not on the bottom but rather pointing out horizontally from one side. I was a brilliant white/bluish hue and did not flicker or blink at all as an aircraft lights might. No sound was audible from it. I observed the object hovering at this lower altitude of roughly 750-1000 feet up for about 5 minutes. I ran inside after that point to grab my camera. It was still present when I returned but had ascended much higher. I attempted to get a picture but it was too hard to get a clear focus as it continued to ascend and then the light faded out suddenly and it was gone. I have been stargazing for years now and have never seen something I couldn't ID as I am familiar with all kinds of aircraft, satellites, and shooting stars that frequent the night sky. This was something very different and I cannot figure out what it was other than a definite flying object with a circular profile when viewed looking up from the ground.

Grand Terrace, CA
Looking to the east, toward the banning pass, Mt. San Jacinto area, I saw a glowing orange orb like a fireball hovering constant in the sky. While other air traffic with flashing lights passed, the orb stayed in place and began dropping what looked like flares of the same color straight down out of it. Dozens dropped out and they disappeared as if disintegrating toward the ground. The event lasted about a minute, and the orb then faded from view.

d openly talked about a Space Military possibly be already created and what I saw was it in Practice? This was My theory at least after thinking about it for two days I do not do drugs have not even had a aspirin in 20 years Do not drink and I am not a Nut job. But what I saw is driving me crazy trying to understand what I saw and Hope it being reported to you will help You Guys figure it out and maybe one day you can say what it was to the Public in General I will be watching for a answer.In looking at the questions Below May I add these lights were in outer Space not that close to Earth Possibly Hundred or Thousand of Miles away they were mostly a group of Light points and the same for the red Lights. so I had no way of telling How really big they were.

I snapped a photo of some beautiful clouds with my Samsung Galaxy S9. I looked at it about 40 minutes later and noticed a small object near the top I hadn't noticed while snapping it. I zoomed in and saw a disc shaped object reflecting sunshine on top. The bottom of the disc is dark .

West San Fernando valley, CA
Around 330am a bright flash of light lit up the night sky in the west san fernando valley followed by what appeared to be an even brighter flash then the same duller flash and immediately after all street lights shut off briefly then proceeded to blink red. Several areas went completely dark and even several buisness power completely shut down momentarily then came back on. Also, mobile phones weren't functioning properly following flash of light.

Benicia, CA
The evening of July 17, 2019, I was sitting on my patio lounge chairs, facing north. It was warm and the stars were out. At 9:50 pm, the moon had not yet risen, I was watching the stars through my Vortex 10X42 binoculars. I spotted a satellite moving south, just below the constellation of Cygnus. It was faint, approximately 6 magnitude, since I could not see it with my naked eyes. I thought I was holding my binocular unsteady since the satellite was moving erratically. I realized it was the satellite that was erratic since all the stars in the background were steady. Its course was constant, never stopping, but the pinpoint of light was moving about in squiggles, like holding a laser pointer in an unsteady fashion. Sometimes it appeared to do a complete circle. The amplitude of the erratic behavior was about 5% of my binoculars view. I watched it for about three minutes.

Tracy, CA
I was 12:17 midnight as i was looking out my window, i seen an object flashing in the same spot without moving. Suddenly it began to move very slowly i started taking pictures and video recording it. The object flashed and moved very slowly it made 5 circles in the same spot from some pictures its clear but still can’t really make the shape. It had three flashing lights off and on and as it moved it moved at different altitudes. At the same time an airplane went by and the airplane flew in one direction with the its lights and a red light this one was very different. It seem as circular object with 3 flashing lights moving very slowly. From the pictures, it doesn't look human like.

At 21:00 I walked out of my house into the front yard facing to the east. I soon say what I though was a satelite moving across the sky.After watching the object for a few minutes I realized it was to low to be a satelite. The object would move from north to south then stop. I recorded the object moving slowly in a northeasterly direction away from a fighter jet that seems to be trying to intercept the object. The object sped out of sight just as the jet gets close to intercepting

Livingston/Atwater (between), CA
I was driving in Livingston when I saw two cylinder shaped objects in the sky. I first noticed them when the sun was reflecting off them. They were both shiny. At first I thought it was a plane with a glider plane following. The second object was trailing behind the first object. Suddenly the object that was following the first, glided under the first object. I followed them to try to get a photo but they disappeared when I reached a clear area.

Pleasanton, CA
Object seen high in the sky above air traffic. NE of Pleasanton California. The object was shiny in the sun moved side to side then stopped. The object then looked like it was moving toward us in a western direction the disappeared. During the observance it disappeared for about 10 seconds then reappeared. Couldn't see the shape, but was very bright. Color was silver with sun reflection. I watch satellites at night and was larger. Asked my wife to come out to see if she could figure out what it was. We watched it for around 3 minutes then disappeared.
