I was walking my dog and noticed what I initially thought was a round, ring-like balloon floating in the sky. But then I noticed that it didn't continue to drift. Instead it moved slowly and in different directions and at one point even paused. It continued to move very slowly and deliberately through the sky, as if observing.

Witnessed single point of very bright blue/white light. It was headed northeast at a constant speed then stopped for a moment then started motion again. I watched it for about four minutes until i lost sight of it, due to treeline

I witnessed 5 separate dark but bright red objects follow the same trajectory. The first followed by the next. I spotted them about the height you would see a helicopter approaching towards you. Then stopped for a milli second before heading up at about a 60 degree angle at an extremely high rate of speed. I watched each accend until they went out of sight, which took 3 to 5 seconds. The last object followed the same path but was a bit slower in speed. There was no sound other lights or trail. These were definately seperate distinct objects moving in the same deliberate path. I have never seen anything before that I would descrbe as a "UFO". Also, I observed these immediately following the 7.1 earthquake which hit about 150 miles north in Ridgecrest Ca. My girlfriend caught a video of one but it does not capture what we saw visually. I describe them as "light". She says they were more squared or rectangled.

I was in my apartment in Hollywood near the base of Runyon Canyon watching the news coverage of the latest 7.1 earthquake that shook us last night. My apartment balcony looks south and there was a helicopter hover just to the south. It looked like a police helicopter but it had no spotlight on not were there many lights at all. I think there was maybe one red strobe but I could see the helicopter from the light from the city illuminating it. As I was watching it and wondering why it was just staying there I saw two small white objects flying in a curve around and passed the helicopter though I think they were a lot higher. There were no lights and I could see them by the light of the city reflecting off of them. At first I thought there were white birds but they were moving way too fast and their formation stayed perfect. They were flying in a diamond like formation with one slightly in front of and next to the other. As they came out of the curved f! light path they then straightened up and flew west and disappeared in the clouds.

Today, I was in my room in one of our vacation houses watching a movie on my laptop. I had my window open because it was getting hot when I started to hear my neighbor's tarps start to flap and the trees right outside sway. I thought it was just a breeze but then all of the sudden a constant flow of wind strong enough to push my blinds almost to my ceiling occurred. About 2 seconds after that happened the double doors (made of glass) in my room started to light up. The doors are covered by a thin sheet due to a window on the other side and I was trying to block out sun light. This light was powerful enough to go through the window through the sheet and into my room. The whole thing lasted about ten seconds not fast enough for me to get up and look out the window but after i got up and looked outside there was no breeze no firework signs it was quite. There was no noise except during this for the items affected by the wind. No firework pops or bangs. Me being skeptical I figured it was just a gust of wind but then I smelt a terrible sulfur smell and a burning metallic smell. This lead me to google where I found out a lot of people report the same smells as I did. This all occurred about 10 minutes before it was pitch black.

Imperial Beach, CA
I was watching a fireworks display at the imperial beach pier, as the sky lit up from the fireworks I saw a teardrop shaped craft flying horizontal towards the ocean. The object could have been oval or circular with an air stream behind it but I am not sure. I pointed to it and said "what is that?" a person next to me said "I saw it too" it looked like a falling star but it wasn't going downward, just straight across the sky. After it passed for about 5 seconds it disappeared

It was on Fourth of July. I was having a conversation with someone outside and I saw three bright light in the sky that was line up straight from the top to bottom. And did not move or any flashing until I saw one that made a tear drop that caught my attention because I thought it was a shooting star, but it wasn’t it’s like a teardrop then the three bright light made a triangle shape and it was a perfect shape! I was recording it and it was at night. I thought it might be a drone or fireworks but it wasn’t that. I couldn’t explain but we all saw that and i couldn’t explain how it works or what it could be.

Fontana, CA
While lighting fireworks and watching neighbors fireworks in the sky I seen what was the shape of a triangle coming from the NE. At 8pm there was still enough light to make out aircraft that was in route to Ontario airport or an nother destination, and they were frequently moving at a predetermined amount of time, I could see the helicopters flying in and out infrequently, but you could tell they where helicopters, a couple of low flying private planes could also be seen, but then I seen a triangle moving in from the NE then turning and going south. The group wasn't moving fast and was pretty quiet compared to all the FW's that was going off. I looked in my truck looking for my binoculars it wasn't there and I wasn't carrying my phone. So I moved to a darker area to focus on those aircraft, and I could make out bands on the wings, I want to say they that they had two green bands, one on each wing, but it was dark and what they were escorting was a very bright! golden/yellow craft that I could not make out completely but that it was very bright and leading the two escort jets, and they headed south. From my perspective if you hold you two fingers in the air, arm extended, and leave a gap of about an inch, that's approx how close they were. My only fault is I didn't record anything.

There was a star like object that was the brightest in the sky. It started to move faster than a shooting star. It went one direction then went dim and went back in the opposite direction. The light went dark and then blinked a few times before moving in a circular motion only to disappear.

On our way from interstate 80 to 65,near Blue Oaks BLVD. Appeared to have a white light floating around the middle axis, horizontally, nothing you would see on any other type of plane. The 2 other passengers in my car were staring at it for a good 2 minutes, lost sight of it around Blue Oaks. We tried to capture video, but our iphone couldnt see the object.

Myself, my wife and 3 teenage sons were on our way home from Lake Tahoe, traveling south on highway 395 at approximately Noon on July 1st. I was driving while my wife was watching a movie on her phone. My 3 boys were either sleeping or on their phones at the time. There was very little traffic on the highway and I had a habit of looking over to my left at the mountains, as I am a landscape artist and love to paint the area. As I glanced towards the mountains something caught my eye. The best way I can describe it is this way. I saw what looked like a “glitch” In The scenery. As I looked closer I could make out a shape but could not see any details. Because I saw the slight “glitch” I could see now that I was looking at what I can only describe as some sort of object that was shaped almost like a bird but the odd thing about it was that it was camouflaged with the mountain in the background, almost as if it were clear. I would look at the road, then look back to see it still there. I got the feeling that I wasn’t supposed to be seeing it but because I saw what looked like a “glitch” on the front of it almost like the camouflage disappeared for a split second I could make it out every time I looked back at it. I am guessing that it was approximately 1-2 mile away from me between the highway and the mountain range. After just a couple minutes of watching the road and looking back at it (keep in mind that I was traveling about 80mph and it was pacing me), it turned quickly and I watched it gain altitude and disappear into the sky after turning 180 degrees. It was gone in almost a blink of an eye. Now the strange thing about it is that I got the feeling it knew I was watching it yet I wasn’t supposed to be seeing it. Sounds odd I know but that’s how I felt. Anyway, I didn’t tell my wife about it until tonight and I was researching sightings in the area and that’s what brought me here. Thanks for reading.

I was going to use my telescope, but first I went outside to scout it out with my 7x35 binoculars, looking for a certain star and locate the asteroid Pallas at 9:30 PM June 28th 2019 looking East and up about 45 degrees. Caught sight of very large object over 300 feet which filled my FOV (300 feet @ 1000 yards). Object was a strange color burnt-orange/brown and looked like bird feathers painted on the outside. I saw what looked like two square panels which were also painted and attached to the exterior. It was to large to be a bird and I did not see the whole object because I locked on it at first not moving and then suddenly as I took the binoculars away from my eyes to look for it because I thought it was so large I should be able to see it, but I couldn’t see it. I tried to find it again with the binoculars but to no avail. Maybe it was cloaked and only with binoculars can you see it? I’m an astronomer, chemist, engineering technician, computer professiona! l, bird watcher and first responder and I deal with facts. I never saw anything like that and I was not able to ID it. It made no noise had no lights and was very large and right there in the air right above me.

On June 28, 2019 approximately 9 PM I went outside as usual to look at the night sky and see if it was clear enough to bring out the telescope and ended up seeing something which “I did not know what it was” and it frightened me enough that I ran back inside. For less than a minute I saw up in the sky the painted surface of something which was stationary and silent, above me at about 45 degree angle from the horizon while using my binoculars. I didn’t see the entire object but what I saw was unusually large, I guessed the part I saw was over 300 feet wide and very tall maybe 150 feet because it filled my field of view, it had no lights, silent and the surface was painted like a bird, it had burnt-orange-brown colored feathers “painted” on the hull. I saw some detail on the surface, an outline of two rectangles intersecting on the surface of the craft which looked like hatches or access panels. I dropped the binoculars from my eyes and looked and could not see it. I made a half ass attempt to locate it again with the binoculars but no luck, I was frightened and I wanted to go back inside quickly away from it. I don’t know what it was. I don’t think we can make a craft like that yet though. I believe my binoculars helped see past the cloaking they were using, it is the only explanation as to why I couldn’t see it when not looking through the binoculars. It was huge and cloaked and real.

SANTEE, CA
It was 8:52pm and I saw a fighter jet going NW over my house. Then looking up I saw a black mass moving overhead where the fighter jet was exactly. Then looking up I saw at least 100 yards of blooming lights turned on me for 10-15 seconds. I waited until the lights went off and then grabbed my phone in my pocket. I started filming the black mass and I was able to catch multiple moving lights on this black mass. It was individual small white moving lights. It even had a point where something looks like it comes out of the craft then goes back in that was purple and green. It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe I caught footage of this UFO. The lights shined on me were so bright and blooming. It was unreal. I was in a daze when the lights hit me and froze me in place momentarily. There was a small rumblings noise associated with the object.

Mammoth Lakes, CA
We were on vacation in Mammoth Lakes California and on our last day Friday, June 28 we decided to drive up to take some pictures of the waterfall and the snow on the mountains south of Lake Mary. It was about 8:30 AM and we took some pictures of the waterfall but it was really cold and windy so we kind of were in a hurry and went back and got in the truck and started to drive away when I stop the truck because I wanted some pictures with the truck in front of the lake that’s when I got out walked across the street took some pictures with the lake in the background. It wasn’t until Saturday, June 29 evening I was sitting on the couch looking at my iPhone and the pictures I took when I noticed a neon blue spot in the sky on one of the pictures I thought it might be a reflection and almost deleted the picture but I zoomed in to see what it was that’s when I noticed it Looked like some kind of craft and had details like lights or whatever they are evenly spaced along the edges and underneath the craft. This was not a reflection or water drop or anything else but a well measured out craft with well measured out features in even distances from each other. The picture was taken with my new iPhone In live mode so it captures a three second video combined with a still photo and when I swiped to see the picture I could see this was moving like a blue laser pen wiggling on a wall moving all over the place up down back-and-forth never in a straight line or flight path. I downloaded the app called Lifey it allows you to take these live shots and save them as a MOV file to see the video and what I saw is incredible! this craft moves all over the place like a pinball never in a straight path it moves up down backwards sideways forwards diagonal just like if you were to wiggle a laser light on a wall. In the video the craft appears from the dense clouds at ridge line of the mountain range south of Crystal Crag Lake and then it continues to rise up to a higher altitude and move around and the recedes backward towards the clouds south of the ridge line of the Eastern Sierras, At 10,364 feet, Crystal Crag is a dramatic and rugged mass of rock that is a recognizable landmark on the Mammoth Crest. The crag is a popular destination among mountaineers and climbers and sits above Lake George Mary and Crystal Lake. When you see the video you can see why this was not something I noticed because I was looking at the cellphone screen it came in went so fast I just happen to be in the right place at the right time and pushed the live picture button at exactly the right moment to capture this amazing craft and it erratic movements in a Live shot giving me the really awesome video.
