Was sitting outside with my dog listening to the nature sounds. Saw a bright light way far out, caught my eye because it seemed a bit bright for an airplane. It seemed to be in a steady flight pattern and once the white light went out it was just a blinking red light. I assumed it was a plane. A minute later I see it again only instead of way out in front of me it was now to the left. This is when I noticed it moving in ways I can't explain. Vertical, horizontal, stationary. Would shine bright white and go back to flashing red. This time it started to get further away. I happened to have my flashlight on me and I started flashing it in it's direction. It then went white and stayed white and came out in plain view to me. It's night and there was no way of making out the shape but I felt like it gave me the time of day for about 10 seconds. It turned green and red then descended in a very dark red out of my line of sight. I'm 35 and this is my first official s! ighting. I've been waiting a long time for a moment like this. Hope others saw this too. Thanks

I kept talking about how it looks like some sort of a wormhole or Some sort of a time travel Vortx or I thought maybe they were bombarding the atmosphere with those Haarp frequencies So we were taking pictures and I look at the picture and lo and behold there in the very first picture was a UFO.

BRIGHT LIGHT OUTSIDE OF WINDOW. TAKEN TO A MOUNTAIN TOP. LOOKED UP IN SKY AND SAW STARS IN A PATTERN BLINK ON TO THE LEFT AND THEN STARS IN A PATTERN BLINK ON TO THE RIGHT... SIMILAR TO A CONSTELLAR BUT IN TIGHTER FORMATING. THEN I TURNED AROUND OVER MY LEFT HAND SHOULDER AND SAW A GRAY ALIEN...NOT SMALL. AND I REMEMBER THINKING, OH! AN ALIEN! AND I SEEMED VERY HAPPY. I TOOK HIS HAND, HE SEEMED FRIENDLY AND I THOUGHT. OH! THERE HANDS ARE SOOOO SOFT. THIS THOUGHT WAS VERY PROMINENT IN MY MIND. AND IT I CHATTED TO HIM ALL FRIENDLY AND HE COMMUNICATED BACK. THEN, I NOTICED HE WAS LAYING ME DOWN AND I SUDDENLY FELT PAIN ON MY LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE AND I TRIED TELLING HIM TO STOP... THAT THERE MOST BE A ROCK POKING MY BACK. THEN, I WOKE UP SUDDENLY IN MY BED AND A BRIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHT FROM THE SKY WAS LIGHTING MY BEDROOM THROUGH THE WINDOW. AND I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE HAD A DREAM... BUT, MY BACK HURT IN THE EXACT SPOT, A DREAM WOULDNT CAUSE ME PHYSICAL PAIN. ! AND AS I LAY AWAKE I THOUGHT, MAYBE ITS JUST THE MOON... HIS HAND WAS REALLY SOFT. I DOZED OFF AND WOKE UP A COUPLE HOURS LATER AND MY BRAIN WAS LOOKING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WAS DIFFERENT IN BRIGHTNESS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS JUST THE MOON. WAS IT JUST A DREAM. I AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I DIDNT ACTUAL SEE ANY SIGNS OF A MOUNTAIN I JUST THOUGHT I WAS ON TOP OF ONE.

We were sitting in bed next to the window (two story) and a flash of light lite the room up and we looked out the window guessing it was a firework since everyone be popping fireworks randomly, but then looked up and saw a random green circular shaped ball floating higher from the Earths ground I presume cause it was getting partly covered by a tree that’s not even tall and it grew bigger and the light was so bright it literally lite the whole sky with a flash of white light surrounding the green colored light it looked just how Ive seen in the movies when the alien ships dash off into god knows where, it flew up to the sky then it disappeared. Plus there was nothing flying or passing by it was so quite I heard birds chirping.!?.!? Like how???? And thirty minutes after a weird army helicopter passed by in the same spot cause the city helicopter has yellow and green so I know I ain’t trippen.

Santa Barbara, CA
Weather was partly cloudy (thin marine layer over sea, clear over land), wind nw 10kt. I and a few passersby noticed 4 white dots in the sky. They had no discernible trajectory but appeared to be moving in a brownian motion (random path) while remaining more or less stationary on a measurable scale. One was seen through binoculars and the object(s) appeared as a white ball with wings of an indescribable shape. After some minutes three of the objects disappeared leaving one, which subsequently faded to nothing. These orbs appeared similar to ones commonly seen launching from offshore (Pacific Ocean) off Pt. Mugu naval sta. seemingly into space at least 5 times faster than rockets launching from Vandenberg, also visible from SB. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

At approximately 2115 pst local, I witnessed two (2) dully lit objects, in formation, flying from behind me on a north/NW course at a remarkable speed. I observed the craft from under a patio until they nearly cleared the roofline of the house due north of me (approximately 40 ft). They commenced a perfectly coordinated port turn, effectively at 90-100 degrees due west (compensating for 5 degrees flux in this AO). I quickly lost visual observation of these craft, and quickly alerted another person in the household, dousing all interior and exterior lights. There was no sound. There were no navigation or anti-smack lights on either craft. There was no audible noise or especially boom, given the approximated EXTREMELY high rate of speed. There was no afterburner visible or audible. From orientation of seated, facing southwest, The lights appeared at the left hand side of Cancer and disappeared around Mars/Delphod. I have a decade + of aerospace training, mfg and operations (.mil & civilian) - this was something I’ve never experienced before. The course corrections, motivation/power source and speed are beyond explanation.

On Thursday at approximately 9:20PM I was in my backyard Jacuzzi. I am a 56 year old male, no drink or drugs. My wife of 50 years old and her friend also in Jacuzzi saw the same thing. They had drunk one glass of wine each. Dark outside no moon up yet. My wife was looking up and said; what the hell is that. I looked up along with the third witness and saw what appeared to be a large chevron-shaped object quite high up moving straight and fairly high speed. There was no sound. I watched it move across the sky towards Los Angeles for about 5 seconds. There appeared to be very faint white lights single and dull on constantly along the shape which allowed one to notice the v shape. No strobe, No other lights. Very odd and I have no idea. We see jets flying very high all the time north to south and vice versa, so we are familiar with the sounds and lights of aircraft. No drone engine sound either.

I was outside taping this annoying helicopter that was constantly circling my neighborhood at around 2 or 3 in the morning. My intention was to take the video to the police station and file a complaint about them frequently using our community to practice their loud flight patterns early in the morning. When out the right side of my peripheral vision I saw this object hovering in the sky. I watched it as it moved into view of my camera, then towards the helicopter, before it sped away at what looked like lightning speeds. Now, I know some skeptics are going to say, "It could have been a laser light source," but that helicopter was at least a mile away from my house at the furthest part of its circular pattern. What kind of laser light would I be able to see from standing on my porch approximately a mile or so away? Who would have such a powerful mechanism to shine into the sky where it would be visible to others for miles? Look how that object moves. It is definitely an unexplained flying object hovering over South Los Angeles. Hell, for all I know, that might be why that helicopter was in the air. This sighting completely changes my perspective about a lot of things. https://youtu.be/2UeW31KlaZc (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

Two bright dots of light. Erratic flight path. Objects connected to one another in the sky and separated independently. Flight path chasing one another from one o'clock position to three o'clock position, retracing flight three o'clock position to one o'clock. Repeatedly three times.

Mount Shasta, CA
My girlfriend and I were up at Castle Lake, located above the city of Mount Shasta, we go swimming and hiking up there in the summer and we were curious to see if it was still frozen over from the winter, and if the trails were clear of snow yet. There’s still a lot of snow pack so you can’t get up above the lake very easily, and most everybody had cleared out of there by the time the sun went down. As far as I know we were the last people to leave, and it was almost dark. As we were walking back from the shore towards our car, we heard a weird, low humming sound coming from the lake. It was the kind of thing you might not even normally hear, except there was no noise or people or wind up there at all when it started. We turned around and saw a flashing multi-colored sphere of light hovering about 50 feet off the lake, further towards the back of the lake near the cliff wall. We both saw it at the same time and wondered if it was some kind of flare hanging in the air, but it didn’t look fiery and it wasn’t smoking. My friend was wondering if it was the light of a climber on the cliffs, but we could see light strobing off of the sphere and flashing against the cliff wall so it was definitely hovering in the air and throwing off light around it. It lasted for only a few seconds then it vanished again, along with the humming sound. We weren’t freaked out by it or anything, but we’re still not sure what we saw that evening.

Palm Desert, CA
Last night I was sitting in my hot tub and facing due east so the jet of water could hit my lower back. My husband had already gone inside, so I was alone and staring up, hoping to see a meteor. I heard something that caused me to moved my gaze straight up and I saw something moving fast -- it was huge, moving fast, and intermittently visible. It was like a ship whose cloaking device was sputtering. The object was not lit, but it seemed like it was reflecting the light from the cities below. It was flying higher than planes coming into PSP airport, but below the level of planes flying from LAX to the East Coast (which one can still hear and see with their flashing lights). In the distance it seemed to suddenly stop, and then four or five separate objects flew away from it for a few seconds and then they flew back and merged with the object, and then the object suddenly seemed to fly straight up really fast and disappear. Honestly, it could have been a stealth bomber flying out of March AFB in Riverside -- they probably don't publish their training missions so it would be hard to verify. It is not impossible that the objects i saw flying away from it could have been panels reflecting city lights. But it didn't seem to behave like a bomber would -- streaking across the sky, making a bit of noise but then no more noise, suddenly stopping and disappearing and appearing, and then suddenly streaking straight up. I did not see any trails or exhaust or jet engine plumes that a fighter might make, but I don't know how the B2's mask those. I have seen B2's fly in the skies above So Cal during events like the Rose Parade, and this didn't look like that and it certainly didn't behave like that. At that hour, around ten thirty at night, it was very dark and the moon was not visible. The Coachella Valley is in the desert but it is fairly heavily developed so there is considerable light pollution. There are plenty of undeveloped areas around, so if the AF wanted to fly training missions, why would they fly right over a populated area with a busy airport? I ran inside and told my husband what I had seen to try to keep "contemporaneous notes" and to try to explain and understand what I had seen. I was in a hot tub thus didn't have my phone at hand to take any pictures (and probably wouldn't have had the time anyway). Needless to say I have never seen anything like this before and have never filed a report like this either.

Long wing like object flying just above the clouds at fast speed. Looked really large. No pinpoint lights, just glowing slightly. Was really quick but traced it across the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

You know how a red safety flare looks when you shoot it up into the sky? It was like that, but bigger than a flare, and going downwards, at a fast speed. It disappeared behind the tree line before I could get a pic or anything. Also it was bright green. However,it was a different color green from the stoplights, and my car wasn't moving, so I know it wasn't a reflection from them?? At first I thought it was a firework, but then it didn't go off like you'd expect it to. It just plummeted downward, and didn't leave a trail of smoke. It's possible it could have been something entering the atmosphere that simply burned green for one reason or another, as it didn't change direction as it fell. But I felt I should report it anyways.

I witnessed a orange ball shoot down from the sky before stopping in mid air. The object proceeded to dash from side to side. The entire time the object was disappearing then reappearing. I filmed the last minute.

Whittier, CA
On April 19, 2019, at approximately 7:15 pm, I was driving northbound in Whittier, CA (zip code 90605). At a red light, I observed what appeared to be star. I thought it was unusual for a start to be out so early at that time of day and then noticed that it was moving. The object was very high in the sky – well above the flight path of planes returning to LAX. The object was moving west. It did not change direction. Once I arrived home, approximately 4 minutes after my initial viewing, I spotted the object. I continued westbound and slowly faded into the sunset. I did not observe any kind of tail or smoke streak from the object. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
