Dixon, CA
Looking East/Southeast clearly seen from some distance away a line of 10 or so balls of light that descended at a 45 degree angle to the horizon line, each was equal distance from the other. Almost like they were fired from a stationary object since they were perfectly aligned and did not vary in their trajectory downward. Strangest thing I have ever seen. From that distance and location, I am presuming they were tests from the China Lake Naval Weapons Testing area some 200 miles away from my location and located in the same direction, but that is only a hunch

Did not see it in person. I only caught in photo. Three separate objects appear in a triangular pattern. They are blurry though the photo is clear. When I replay the photo on bounce the objects move in unison. Objects appear to be black or dark in color. This size appears to be the size of a small aircraft. If they were birds you would see their wings in movement while the photo moves Just as you see the car on the road moving. Smudges on windshield that photo was taken through. Not alien spacecraft, we believe. PD

Pacific Palisades, CA
Going down PCH from west Malibu a huge cigar/blimp shaped crafted was seen by many looking towards Santa Monica above Pacific Palisades. It was parked around 250ft above ground in the sky as if it was fixated. It must have been there for a good while because driving from West Malibu to Santa Monica took around 30-40 minutes. This was close to the Sunset Blvd and PCH intersection. While driving you could see the underbelly of it and it looked to be dark charcoal gray and top part was metallic gray. It was simply parked completely still in place. Definitely not the goodyear blimp. This must have been witnessed by hundreds as it was so obvious.

The triangle craft came in sight below the clouds for a few seconds and then looped back up out of sight upwards into the clouds.

Santa Barbara, CA
Later one evening, homeless in the Santa Barbara area, living out of a backpack, etcetcetc I found an area to drop my pack and take a break. Just 60 feet down from the location of the intersection of Sola/Santa Barbara St. As this were unfolding another familiar -ping- as it go in the clairaudient tip "hey? Look! Right! Now!" And I am facing mostly straight ahead at this point (to the south/southwest) and whip my head to the right to see a stick -tree like entity (see image) materialize (take form *instantly!) and take a total of 4 steps and collapse into itself on the final fourth step. * the three colour scheme you see in the drawing moved in front of the entity and did not flow like clothing. Acted more like a sheild of colour camouflage and then gave a glimpse and vanished...

San Diego, CA
I started videoing it because it was moving south toward the helicopter training base. We had about a 7mph wind coming from the ocean. Blowing east. Object was moving quite erratic and seemed to be in and out of focus. Tough to follow. I watched the item move to what I can only surmise to be about 4 blocks south and blinked out. No longer seen by me. I seen NO training of helicopters on that particular evening. When reviewing video frame by frame, I noticed another object appear for less than a second. After magnification I seen a few items, mostly globes of different sizes. Seemed to interact.

A circular object was videoed hovering over the ocean off the Santa Barbara coast. Witnessed the object for about 10-15 minutes before it was videotaped. Video lasted for 1 minute.

San Luis Obispo, CA
I was watching a video outside and my dog was barking and I could hear a helicopter close and when I looked up I saw what I thought was irregular aircraft light however it was flashing like it was made of fire it was moving across the sky slowly and then it let out a small red flashing light that slowly followed behind it and then stopped in the air the original fire-lite proceeded to what appears to be leaving the atmosphere out into space then eventually the red light stop flashing and disappeared all the while a closed helicopter was hovering with no lights I never saw the helicopter but the second original flashing light is dim out of sight there were several series of rumbles the helicopter with no lights hovered around for another 30 seconds and then slowly left in the opposite direction does the original light had left that in the sphere in. this is the second time that I've seen a glowing flashing light leaves behind red flashing lights and then leave! it's as if something's being dropped off.

Nipomo, CA
It was traveling diagonally and seemed to be moving slowly. I started to record a video on my phone as it maintained its trajectory. I thought it must be a drone, so I stopped recording. As soon as I did, it then split into 3 lights that were lined up horizontally for a second. There was the original large orangish color light, a small blue light and a white blinking light. The blue light then disappeared and the blinking light followed further behind the larger light at the same trajectory. I started to record again after it split but not for too long. I got freaked out and ran home! I also noticed a noise that is hard to describe. It was almost like a low pitched hum. ((ADDENDUM FROM A VISITOR TO OUR WEBSITE)) Peter, What the witness observed in Nipomo, CA, was an unarmed Minuteman III missile launched from VAFB. It was launched at 11:01 pm. The flashing light seen following was the tumbling first stage. A friend took this picture which shows the main missile and the booster behind. This picture was taken from Shell Beach, CA, and would have been visible from San Luis Obispo, CA, as well. ((END ADDENDUM))

Aptos, CA
MY wife (a skeptic) and I were walking the dog a little after 10pm and I was looking up at the stars, as I always do, and I saw a small light in the sky. I called out the UFO, pointing at it, to my wife. I always do this with what is obviously planes which amuses her, and I actually did think this was a plane at first. As usual, I asked her if she saw any blinking (planes have blinking lights), and she watched it ready to tell me she sees it blinking. This took longer than usual and we both stopped walking. She said “there, it blinked. Wait, no it just got dimmer… I don’t like the way it’s moving.”. This was as the light started moving faster, faster, in my opinion, then most planes move across the sky. In all this time there was no blinking lights, though the light did get brighter and dimmer. I noticed some barely seen substance, or objects, falling from the light as it was moving, It almost looked like dust, but faintly glowing just as it dropped and then stopped glowing. I told my wife that I thought that was a real one. And I flashed my flash light at it, not that I thought my light would even reach that far, but immediately after I flashed my light at it, the UFO blinked and then started to fade out as it seemed to rise in the sky. Looking to the right, I saw that an actual airplane was flying in the general direction the light seemed to be. As the plane got closer the light faded completely and did not reappear. My wife still doesn’t want to admit it was an actual UFO, but she has no explanation for this one. - It's not an option below, but I'd prefer to be emailed than called. We assume the date of the sighting was February 05th, and have amended the original date. We will confirm the date with the witness, and repost the report. PD

I also believe I witnessed possibly the same sighting on 1-24-19 at 6:45 P.M from the Golden Gate Bridge toll Plaza as someone reported from Oakland. A huge yellow light was seen near the SF downtown skyline at exactly 6:45 to 6;50 P.M. No one else at the bus stop or tourists or anyone else seemed to be noticing this huge hovering light and a second object appeared briefly and then they just winked out like someone turning off a light switch.

Roseville, CA
On the above indicated date and time, I was walking my dog in our neighborhood. I looked above the tree lines in the East and observed what I first thought was a grouping of birds flying North to South. There were approx. 50-60 objects. The objects were not flying in formation and were spread out high and low, some were swirling about the others. Many of the objects in the lead would actually reverse direction and join those trailing behind. One object was observed diving at a very high right of speed, stopping, making a 180 degree turn upwards and disappearing in a cloud above it. Not knowing the size of the objects it was difficult for me to judge their distance. I would make a guess of anywhere between a half mile and three quarters mile in distance from my location. My eyesight is very good and I was able to see that the objects did not flap wings as a bird would. Secondly, the sun would strike some of the objects and I could see that they appeared to be silver in color. I had my I-Phone 8 with me and began taking a video. I took 4 videos in total. I continued watching and observed that the objects continued in a southerly direction and were almost directly above downtown Roseville. The objects continued their swirling gyrations and after a couple of minutes were lost to sight. We suspect that the objects are birds, perhaps seagulls, seen "running" ahead of a developing storm. The witness is going to consult a photoanalyst to see what his impression of the video might be. PD

Winterhaven, CA
Thursday January 31, 2019, UFO sighting. On 1-31-19 at 8:03 PM looking out my east facing window, I observed a bright white object moving from west to east at a very high speed. It came into my view at about due north and traveled about 30 degrees west before blinking out in about 2 to 3 seconds. It was about 25 degrees above my level eye site view and flying level (horizontally level). It was larger than a pencil in diameter and smaller than a dime at my arm’s length. The object had a white tail that was about 5 times as long as the diameter. When the object got near the end of the flight the object disappeared and the tail is all the I could see, and it had turned to what appeared to be orange sparks. My coordinates are N 32.861848 and W 114.503079. The object had to be at least an estimated 3 miles north of my position due to some mountains to my west that would have been in its path at the altitude it appeared to be. The object looked like it would have been disappearing over the Yuma Proving Grounds Army airfield. My wife and I are Snow Birds and we live in a motor home full time. We travel from the Northwest to the Yuma area for the winters. She is a retired Accountant and I am a retired Engineer. We are boondocking on a BLM Long Term Visitors Area that is on the California side of the Colorado River. We can see the Yuma Proving Grounds Walker Gate and the Howard Gate areas from our campsite.

Hollywood, CA
At approximately 18:00 hours, 6:00P.M. PST local time, I was sitting on my couch in my apartment when I noticed a circular well-lit red object, with a flashing green light beneath it, zip at a very high rate of speed across the horizon from south to north at an extremely accelerated rate. It was at a modest altitude, clearly visible, approximately 3 to 4 miles due West. It then began a series of aeronautical maneuvers directly over Hollywood Blvd. to the South, and Franklin Avenue to the north. It then returned at that same high rate of speed then stopped in a totally frozen hover above Hollywood itself. I opened my sliding glass door to my balcony to hear if it made the sound of a helicopter. It made no sound whatsoever, all the while flashing a green light under its carriage. It then accelerated straight up approximately 1000 feet immediately, again at extreme rates of speed, then began a series of ascending and descending aerobatic moves from a dead stop in both horizontal and vertical motions. It in no way acted like a drone, helicopter, small aircraft, or military aircraft. From my perspective it appeared to be the size of a small dirigible but not as large as a blimp. It moved both smoothly, and dramatically quickly, far faster and more dynamic than any other aircraft I have seen. It was able multiple times to stop on a dime and hover silently then accelerate to different altitudes and horizons on a grid. And then quickly accelerated to the West and out of my visual range. As a previous witness in 1978 of a translucent orbed object over the night sky of Simi Valley, California, I have had previous experience with be unique movement of these craft. My sighting this evening falls into that category. I also know of one other individual who has seen and photographed an unidentified object in this same area a number of years ago, one that she shared with me that I was privy to. Whatever this may have been, I felt it imperative! to report this at once on your site. Thank you for all the work you do. I will continue to do mine. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr Davenport, I just filled out a report regarding an object I saw over Hollywood this evening. Upon further investigation, it appears there was a large-scale drone show at the same exact time which I was not privy to. My most sincere apologies. I'm extremely embarrassed that I didn't do a full investigation before reporting it on your site. I take great pride in my ability to distinguish these things. Best wishes.

They seem to be turning and emitting colors, the largest and closest one appears to have 3 connect triangular lights. We spotted them a few years back. The larger one like to hang out in the same spot.

Chino, CA
I observed 3 orange lights traveling in a southeast direction three at a time. They traveled over Pomona and over my house in Chino. Aircraft from ONT were traveling West from ONT airport. The first 3 orange lights traveled about a half mile apart and disappeared in the low clouds. The next three traveled in the same path and the last one stopped overhead, hovered for about 10 seconds and disappeared in an upward motion.

Oakland, CA
Today 1/24/2019, at approximately (18:49) 6:49PM -8 GMT, I was outside observing the night sky as I often do, I noticed two bright objects that were out of place in the constellation Orion. They shimmered from orange to bright white. Orion was rising in the south eastern sky and these objects were flying in a wedge formation just below the feet of Orion. "There shouldn't be anything that bright there!" I thought to myself. The objects were more luminous then our brightest star Sirius I also thought which drew my attention to them in the first place. The lead object was even more so then the trailer. This viewing lasted approximately ten seconds. The first object slowly dimmed out of sight still high in the sky, I'd say 30 degrees from the horizon. Then the other about one to two seconds later. The movement seems to give me an indication to altitude in my opinion. I view the night sky almost on a daily basis and have seen many things such as satellite's, meteors, high flying military and passenger aircraft. I cannot say what they were or were not. I can only say THESE LIGHTS WERE VERY STRANGE INDEED! If anyone else in the San Francisco/Oakland California bay area happened be out at (18:49) 6:49PM observing the south eastern sky and saw this event please don't be afraid to speak up. I almost didn't want to say anything due to the stigma that go's with "U.F.O.'s however we all do need to know what's flying above our heads. Special thanks for the encouraging words to and that you do for the truth, Peter Davenport
