Multiple quick forming formations of sphere star like objects appearing near Corte Madera marsh area. Very distict triangular and diamond formations of lights hovering, rotating around each other changing positions etc.. In just 15 minutes these strange lights appeared out of nowhere and interact with each other.

Hwy 168, CA
I slammed my brakes and exited my vehicle. I was approx 300 yards from me. I was in shock and a little afraid. No noises were coming from it. Behind me about a mile away was an SUV, I am confident they saw it as well. I drove away not believing what I saw.

San Diego, CA
A row of very bright lights was spotted on the east side of Mt. Helix, just after midnight. Five lights in a horizontal row, white, green, white, green, white. I thought it was stadium lights, but far too bright and far too big. The lights appeared just above the east ridgeline of Mount Helix. Lights remained for about 20 seconds. After 15 seconds, another very bright set of lights, this time orange and white, appeared over the El Cajon valley to the east. The new lights lasted about 5 seconds, then both sets of lights went dark. Point of observation was near Cowles Mt. in San Carlos neighborhood.

San Clemente, CA
Pulsating oval shapes with line of lights emitting from the oval shape. They seemed to be chasing each other. In pulsating and moving slowly. Bright orange light, much brighter than the surrounding city lights. Just above the mountain top and definitely in air. They would pulsate and some of the shapes after pulsating would be located in a much further position and then sometimes after pulsating return back close to their starting position/ location. First time we had ever seen an UFO?

I saw a "shooting star" come to a dead stop in the sky. It hovered for a while then shot straight up and stopped again. At that point I took out my camera and recorded. It then accelerates downwards and to the side behind the buildings near by. The last 3rd of what I saw can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kS9RHOVk4yWnpTobA1IMNU6u4nIE0CDN/view?usp=drivesdk

South San Francisco, CA
I saw something in the sky. At first I thought it was an airplane as we live close to the airport. This thing was flying toward me. It was intriguing because I couldn’t see any wings of the “airplane”. I called attention of my husband and it was also strange looking thing in the sky. I brought the binoculars and saw a white bright ball in the sky going from south to north direction. Then it changed its course to east. It was jumping and mowing quite fast. Then it was moving south and it disappeared in the distance. I checked the sky for over the next hour looking for it. I saw airplanes in the far distances and was able to see its wings so I’m sure it wasn’t airplane nor a bird. My husband is very skeptical but today he was very sure he saw a moving ball in the sky that was jumping. I need to add that it appeared that there was a gray small cloud around it, like a mist. We both saw the same thing. I’m wondering if you have received similar sighting in my area

Seaside, CA
This object was seen while I was working along with another coworker. It looked like some type of drone as it had 3 prongs coming out with some sort of propulsion devices help it climb vertically. What doesn't make sense is when this object rose into the sky the area it had apparently came from shouldn't have anyone in it as it would be trespassing. It is also a wooded area and there are signs that warn of unexploded ordnance. It is also not easily accessible. No one can access it by vehicle either.

Wrightwood, CA
While camping at Coldbrook Campground in Wrightwood, CA (75R5+HR Falling Springs, California) the reporting witness and two others reported that they observed a silent, black, oval-shaped craft descend into the valley from over the mountain top from the direction of Falling springs / South Mt. Hawkins. The sighting occurred between the hour of 9 pm and 10 pm (uncertain of the specific time) and lasted for roughly 3-5 minutes by his estimation before they lost visual sight of the object. They were located just outside of the campground on soldier creek, facing due E-NE. The moon was nearly full (about 75% illumination) and provided clear nighttime visibility without the need for flashlights. They could see a dark outline/shape of the object as it moved through the sky and passed above/behind the tree line.Craft Description: Black and non-reflective. Oval shaped, potentially 15-20 ft in diameter, with a single glowing orange light. The object did not have any a! dditional lighting. The orange light appeared to be able to move around the oval independently, as when his friend Leah flashed her flashlight at the object the orange light immediately turned towards their direction at which point craft hovered in place, flickered its light at them, and then proceeded to continue along its path. They were unable to hear any sounds or buzzing that would indicate that it was possibly a drone. Additionally, all insect noise appeared to go silent from when they first saw it descend over the mountain top and over San Gabriel Canyon Road. Additional information: They don't believe they had any missing time, although they were very turned around had difficulty finding their direction and original path back to the campsite after the sighting. Two items on their persons were also missing 1 x Flashlight (Austin), and 1 x Multi-tool (main witness). (MUFON CMS)

Sherman Oaks, CA
In the South by Southeastern sky, I saw between the moon and the brightest star what appeared to be another equally bright star, but then to the left and below it appeared two more lights equally as bright firming an equilateral triangle. Then another above all of these appeared forming a perfect diamond shape and the sum of these continued on another minute or so before they all shut off quickly but one by one and were gone.

I noticed what seem like a single cloud in the sky kind of sitting there by itself but the shape of it got my attention. It seemed to have somewhat of a cylindrical shape looking out of horizontally so I got my iPhone out and zoomed it in as best I could and snapped a photo of it. I only snap the photo so I could zoom in closer and see the shape of the cloud but to my surprise after zooming it in this is what I saw and it is very strange to me. The problem is I only zoomed in more after we left for work otherwise I would have really scrutinized this thing more and perhaps even try to drive closer to it but I did not know that I would see something hidden in that photograph.

Hermosa Beach, CA
After about 30 seconds, I notice it was moving as if it was an airplane far away so I said, “Wait, never mind. That’s an airplane.” Then, the ‘airplane’ swung back to where it was at and kept moving in a swinging motion. Maybe swung about ¼”. I felt like it was a drone because of the movement it had. It would stay still for a few seconds, move up, down, left, right, in combinations. It had a blinking light to it too. The light appeared to look as if it was an object far away and was spinning. The longer I would stare directly at it, it would become blurry and I’ll look away. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sequoia National Park, CA
Was in Sequoia National Park at date and time listed. Stopped at scenic overlook to take photos of scenery and selfie. In reviewing photos the next day, discovered a strange black and yellow object above and behind me in one of my selfies, photo take with Samsung cell phone. No idea it was there when photo taken, as I saw or heard nothing, other photos taken of scenery do not show object. Was black on bottom, a yellow line across the top and upon zooming in appears yellow is 2 circular spots. Appears to have wing vertically and some type of aura around the object, is unlike any sighting or photo of UFO that I have seen or heard off, the distance and apparent size of object are strange and I think would rule out a bird or insect. There had been other people stopped there at the time and I heard no one mention anything about an object in the sky.

Dublin, CA
Large group of people were at Emerald Glen park when my 17 month year old son pointed up to the sky (as he often does) at a flock of birds that was flying across the sky. I noticed that one of the “birds” wasnt moving. It was directly due east, at about the same height in the sky as the moon, bright white/silver and about the size of a large-sized star. Just.. sitting there. It was high up as well as wisps of clouds seemed to obscure it. After watching it for about 10 minutes someone asked me what I was looking at. I pointed it out, and he began looking at it as well. Soon a small group of about 10 of us dads were looking at it, trying to figure out what it was. After about 15 minutes, someone said “Hey, theres another one!” Sure enough, another white dot appeared also due east but lower towards the horizon by about 3 inches. This second object was the same size as the first but was very slowly pulsing.. fading in and out of view in about 10 second intervals. Eventually it faded out and didnt return. It was around for maybe 10 minutes of the sighting. The entire sighting lasted about 30 minutes. As I was creating a post on Above Top Secret urging anyone in the Dublin, CA, area to “look up”, it vanished. I wish I could tell you if it zoomed off, blinked out, or exploded, but I can't. I took 15 seconds to respond to someone’s reply to my post, looked up, and the object was gone. By that time, I was the only one still watching it. It was almost straight up (maybe 150 degrees if 180 is straight up) so it did a number on our necks as we were watching it. Can confirm this was not Venus. Used Star Walk app, and Venus was directly behind us. There were no astronomical objects that would explain what we saw. The objects appeared to be very high altitude and were stationary. I tried to take pictures of it, but it was too far away and not bright enough for the Iphone camera to pick up.
