There was a circular flying craft - not very large - with multi colored lights. It seemed to be rotating as it flew. Several smaller circular ones - almost as if they were babies to the bigger one- came off of the larger one with whitish blue lights. This was over the 210 freeway between downtown Los Angeles and Altadena at approximately 8:00 pm. This may have been a drone. However everyone I have asked says they have not heard of such a drone type that emits smaller drones.

Driving South on a well lit suburban street. Witness was in the front passenger seat and saw a well-defined bar of bright yellow light flash suddenly into view. The light had the clarity and intensity of a performance grade laser. The object was angled about 45 degrees from horizon and moved out of view as we drove along.

Observing what looked to be a full moon on 3/21/19, I started taking pictures with my iPhone. My iphone camera was set on the “Live” setting when I started To take pictures. Each time I’d raise my camera to the moon a blue object would appear darting back & forth and up & down at times. The object started as a tiny dot then to a tiny streak of blue light. I continued to take picture after picture the blue dot streak still moving about changing its shape. After a while of this I went inside garage to enlarge a few pictures. There are Many different pictures all with movement (Live) two or three pictures are saucer shaped & when enlarged look exactly like a blue flying saucer. Almost forgot to mention, while in the garage, each time I’d raise the camera, two blue lines would appear in the shot. Sometimes they were upright in position other times horizontal but always two. I can’t make sense of what was happening that night, so I am reporting it. I do have photos of what took place in the moonlit sky on 03/21/19. Thank you. Witness provides no contact information. PD

On March 20 2019, about 6 pm, I was observing passing cumulus clouds when I saw an object. This object was rather small, moving at tremendous speed west to east. The object appeared to be long and slender, about 5 times longer than it was thick. It looked to be black in color, but that could not be verified. It appeared to be pointed in front and tapered to the rear from it's thickest point. Altitude is estimated to be about 6,000 feet, using the passing clouds as a reference. I estimate the speed to be at least 500 mph. It covered the visible arc from my viewing point in about 5 seconds. This arc is about 45 degrees, give or take. By the time I rounded the corner of my house for a better look, it was gone. About 3 minutes later, looking up to the West, I spotted an object that appeared to look like the first one. This one was moving North to South at about half the speed as the first, but rapidly accelerated out of sight in an instant.

Strange sound, like a whistle going high then low then high, then a plane emerged from a cloud that I hadn't seen enter it. Looked like a normal plane, far as I can tell but made a very strange sound. Simply flew off north after emerging from the cloud at normal plane speed.

My boyfriend and I were out by a lake and I saw 4 giant red glowing lights in the sky. 3 were in a triangular formation and one was off to the side. I told him and he saw them and as we were talking about them they rose higher into the sky and then slowly faded out 5seconds apart from each other. Even out dog was spooked the entire time.

Large glowing orb orange in color seen n/w direction from the Fontana 210 freeway at about 0510 morning time. It was just a large orb glowing bright orange shaped like a american football with clear cut borders with no radiating light. Bottom half was covered by mountains/hills as it dissipated it frittered away.

The craft was high in the bright blue sw sky and the best way i can describe it is like a xanax bar it had a row of maybe 4 lights that would shine each independently and then all at once very bright like a star and then turn off one guy was filming it my phone couldnt get a pic. It was high up above the airplanes flying and it did not move it was there for at least 25 mins maybe longer i had to get back to work.

I was gazing out the window when I saw a purple colored object about 6 feet from the ground traveling as fast as the car and in seconds it disappeared but when it disappeared it made a almost green color behind it and perfect circles followed behind it as it disappears there were that green color. It wasnt actually green that's the only way I can explain it. It almost looked animated, I have never seen anything like this before it's very hard to describe if it made a sound I would think it would sound like bloop bloop and gone. There was no shape just colors it's so bizarre like an animation but real. We didnt say anything to each other for five minutes, it was the most bizarre object I have ever seen in my life the colors were not purple or green that's just the best way to describe this thing. It's almost as if I was watching the flintstones and the great gazoo disappeared. Craziest thing I have ever seen in my life. I'm sorry for little detail I hope someone has a similar sighting.

The three green lights seemed odd. Not a normal air craft. Possibly military top secret. Full description of sighting. Three green pulsing lights, triangular formation, followed closely by a helicopter moving from north west to south east. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

My husband was Barbecuing in our back yard at 8:00 pm on March 10th, 2019. While BBQ he always looks up at the stars, planes and helicopters in the sky. It was a mostly cloudy night with a clearing in the middle of the night sky. He was looking North at a star when he noticed through the clouds at an approx. 40% angle from the horizon a group of glowing discs (approximate total of 18 disc objects) coming out of the clouds into the clear sky (cloudless)area. When my husband first saw the objects, he yelled loudly for me, my daughter and son to come outside immediately to view the disc formations. We were able to watch and witness the last half of the visible formation flight until they disappeared into the clouds to the south . The glowing discs were traveling from North to South over the Los Angeles San Fernando Valley area in a straight line at approximately 10,000 feet of altitude and about 85% of perpendicular. There were two sets of flying triangle formations with one formation having 6 discs and the other formation having 8 discs. Those two formations traveled on a steady course North to South. In between the two formations 4 same sized glowing discs moved independently around the entire time. The entire observation time was approximately 20-22 seconds. No aircraft that we know of can travel at that speed and altitude and change direction that quickly. The discs all were the same and they were all a glowing steady bright white light. There were no flashing white lights, green lights or red lights at all like a normal airplane. I have seen many civilian and military aircraft in my years and these glowing discs were not aircraft or any known man made objects I’ve seen personally or in videos. I would never report anything like this unless I was absolutely sure about what we saw. I am willing to provide a drawing or with help do a video recreation of what everything looked like.

Looking west, very low in the sky (if I compare it most of the planes that go to and from the airport we have nearby), I noticed a bright white light racing across the sky heading north. I did not think it was a shooting start because it was closer than I had ever seen one before and it did not leave the bright trail of light behind it ....at first. Seeing it at first I thought it was an airplane and was concerned at tithe fact that it seemed to be traveling much faster than any plane I had seen, so my next thought was that it might be in trouble and perhaps going to crash. After a few more seconds I observed the light produce two more smaller lights that seemed to break of or fall of the original one. The two lights each went off in different directions then disappeared soon after. The original larger white light began changing color from a blue green hue to almost all green and gave off a flickering or kind of flashing light display and seemed to be sl! owly of fading (or what I’d picture sputtering to look like), still heading north it seemed to descend as it sputtered out and soon disappeared. Once it had began changing color from the white to the green and gave off a lighter green aura around it I noticed it had also started to produce a trail of light behind it, just like I’ve always seen accompanying shooting stars but much more colorful, brighter, and larger than any I’ve seen before. Could very well be a shooting star or many other perfectly normal explanation for it but I thought I’d post in the case that it’s not.

Very low red and green lights alternating, sequencing as if sending a code. Hoovering for minutes at a time changing to stagnant white light. Craft had no visual form...only light. A notable buzzing sound was clearly heard. However, the sound was not a machine or robot buzz it was more organic like a bug. It was able to be silent as well. Also, a strong but pleasant smell of flowers was emanating from the lights. The smell abruptly stopped when the lights disappeared into the clouds. I was able to video numerous segments. However, it appears that the red light is not always present in the video. Strange, because it could be seen with a naked eye.

We noticed a bunch of black objects in the sky. one up close and 3 or 4 more in the distance, the ones in the distance proceeded to go off and up into the distance/sky and disappear. the one larger one got closer to where we were and it looked as though it was like a person standing and squatting....but in like a aircraft shape ,reminded us of like a man with a cape or a demeanor from Harry potter, but not because it was all black with white lights on it and it gave off a white aura/force field looking glow around it.and it just spun in circles "opening and closing" .I'm assuming it was quite large from the side I was seeing it and where it was in the sky. and it slowly as it spun moved counter clockwise. it was in the southern area of my yard and when it finally started going outward into the distance it had moved to the eastern side of my yard. the other ones that started with it never returned nor did we see this again. and my friend was recording on his phone also and his phone would go blurry when mine would, also even thru binoculars it would at times appear blurry when it would cause the blur on the phones also there was an occasional red light.

Looking from ground level, south, a large white object moving south and then curving west over and away from the area of USMC aircraft base Mira Mar. Compared to the sun, very small point of bright white, a bit of a cigar shape, moving slowly. When a black helicopter, no markings, no numbers passed by at approx 1000 ft. moving ese approx 100 mph. As I scanned the area I saw a jet fighter contrail, could be F-14, F18 or 22, as we have Naval aviation here as well as USMC. This fighter was approaching the area of the Mira Mar base, fast, approx 1,200 mph or more towards the area of this object on a ese heading, approx 10,000 ft or higher, it would be 5 minutes, as the object curved to the west approaching the Pacific ocean, then disappeared from view. Thanks for taking my call.

On the seventeenth of February, at approximately 14:43, I was working on my taxes on the computer and I heard what I thought at first was rain but it got to be very loud, so I opened the front door to look outside and it was hailing pretty hard. It continued to hail until approximately 15:00. I decided to take my dog out, was curious what he would think of the remaining hail on the ground, and nothing else seemed out of the ordinary at the time. Once my dog and I came back in I took a peak out the back-sliding glass door and the clouds with the sun looked really gorgeous. So, I decided to take some pictures at 15:13 exactly. I took 6 pictures facing West from my back yard before reviewing them with my LG V40 phone. I saw this little black triangle and zoomed in the best I could and I started seeing it most the pictures. At the time I could not see it as clearly on my phone, but it might be almost cone shaped, or rounded. I thought maybe I would catch something else if I took more photos and videos afterwards at 15:15 and later but nothing else showed up. I was curious to see if anyone else reported anything strange in the area or possibly was able to get a video or more evidence of what it was or could be. I marked that there may have been 2 objects. There is a green orb that definitely looked out of place, but I didn’t really notice it as much on my phone, more so on my computer monitor. It definitely shows up in 3 of the pictures. I know it is a phone camera but my phone actually has 3 different lenses in the back and one is a telescopic lens so the pictures are pretty decent. I hope this helps with evidence. I did not see the objects directly, only in the pictures and they or it seemed to maybe be towards Pena Adobe Park.
