Teardrop shaped object seen flying over beach

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

Flashing/bright star.

It is as though it seems it would be a star, but i have never seen a star like this in my life. It grows brighter, while almost as if it is flashing, then it turns into a dimmer flash, and then grows brighter and flashes more intensively.

I dont know if it is a weather balloon or or a satellite. I cannot find anything on the web about this light/star that burns/flashes.

3 red fireball lights one after another over Imperial Beach, CA South to North along coast line.

At approximately 8:00 pm on 4/14/13 Location: Southwest San Diego, CA. City of Imperial Beach I and several others witnessed three objects flying in the night sky. The weather here has been cloudy and a coastal eddy or marine layer with drizzle all day since yesterday. At around 8:00 pm I had just gotten home with the family. I went outside to make a phone call on the front porch facing west, when I heard a boom sound; I started to speak to the person on the phone when out of nowhere a light appeared in the sky southwest of my location. I was talking with the person on the phone when I told him I was seeing something strange in the sky. I told him I would call back and try to film or photograph it.

This First object appeared to by flying from south to north along the coast it originated over the ocean then disappeared from sight lasted approximately 5 min.

The second object did the exact same thing that is when I called my neighbors to come out and see this we had no clue as what it could be. The object followed the same path but stayed in sight a little longer than the first one than it disappeared.

The third object appeared as soon as the other had disappeared originated around the same spot and flew the same path as the others but this one lasted the longest.

The objects where like fireballs very bright and red in color it was absolutely amazing my dog was freaking out and still is acting weird. I took photos and video. I am hoping that someone else had to have seen this along the coast near Imperial Beach or Coronado, CA, it was a sighting that lasted a long time in the sky. Total time of sighting approx: 20 Minutes.

2/28/2011 Fast moving UFO, disc/oval shaped, sighting lasted about 10 seconds

On Sunday, 28 February, 2011 I was standing outside my house in Imperial Beach, CA about 10:30 AM. I was looking up at the sky when I noticed 2 Con-Trails from a commercial jet that appeared to come from the Northwest and climbing in a Southeasterly direction. I presumed that it was a flight leaving San Diego Airport, Lindberg Field. During this time my eyes tracked the Con-Trail for maybe 1 or 2 minutes.

While I was observing the Con-Trail, suddenly another object, very bright and oval in shape, which I did not recognize, i.e. UFO appeared much closer to me than the jet which I had been observing, many miles closer in my estimation, it was coming from the Northeast, flew directly overhead at a great rate of speed and disappeared out of sight going Southwest. The distance it traveled from first sighting in the Northeast to last sighting in the Southwest was less than 10 seconds. The UFO was about the size of a Quarter from my vantage point. I could not estimate it’s altitude and it had no Con-Trail.

Saw 5 lights in the shape of what I first thought was a plane. It appeared to be no more than 300 to 400 yards off the ground. It was flying from the North to South and was completely silent. I followed it until the lights split up in 5 diferent directions.

We live pretty close to a military landing field where helicopters take off and land all day. This evening was no different, but what we did notice were search lights on all night after the incident. Don't know if this was related to what I saw, but i do know that the lights are usually not on, in fact this was the first we those search lights there.

San Diego CA, Bright orange light traveled east , then faded and parachute/ jellyfish shaped object floated downward slowly.

It was approximately 12:10 am, when I got up to close the windows in my living room, (facing west). I noticed a bright orange light flying in a southeast direction coming from the west(the beach). It didn’t make any noise, and did not resemble an airplane. It just seemed to be floating by at a very steady pace. I ran into the bedroom and looked out the window there, by this time I had called my husband to come look at the object. That widow faces south. The object was still moving in a southeast direction. A shooting star shot across the sky, and the orange light dimmed and faded away, it left a cloudy haze. It looked like a parachute came out of it. It was dark and I could not see the color of the parachute, but it resembled a giant transparent jellyfish. It slowly floated downward until I could no longer see it. My husband saw the faded orange light and the giant jellyfish. We figured it might have just been an aircraft since there is a naval base in that area. As I researched what we witnessed, I found this site with similar sightings. We both believe it was a UFO we saw last night.

Odd Silver/gray objects shooting above mountain range, (multiple daily sightings)

Ok im not saying this was something I saw from another planet or anything like that I just saw some objects that were unidentified to me, what I saw one morning at 6am it was either 2003 or 2002, but it was early in the morning at about 6:00am when I used to go to the city bus stop every week day to take the bus to work, well from the bus bench there is a mountain range you can see in the distance, well a multiple nimber of times in the morning while sitting at the bench I could see thing that were like a silver grayish color, to far to tell the exact color, and they were shooting up from the top or from behind the mountain range, the seemed to shoot up very slowly to where i would have to look away for about a minuate and look back to see that they had moved and then they would stop after getting above the range, now im not saying this is something extra terestial I am just saying these severl 4 or 5 objects i see shooting up are unidentified to me and i was wondering if you had any explanations.

Man is mysteriously moved several blocks and sees a silent black helicopter with yellow lit cockpit

While looking for SKYLAB one night on the 400 block of Evergreen st in Imperial Beach Calif approx 1978 around 9pm I found that somehow I had been moved to the Sloughs behind the beach close to the Mexican border and the state park area. As i looked over the dune toward the ocean I could see (but heard no sound) a craft that resembled a helicopter. The cockpit area was lit in a yellowish light and I could see a pilot in the cockpit wearing an oxygen mask. It hovered a while and then flew off over the ocean. I had to walk back the 4 or 5 blocks to my apt not knowing how I got there.
