OK as I looked up I know what satellites look like when I spot one in the sky and how fast they're moving and how they do not look like aircraft that are blinking these were going at an extremely fast pace 1 after another and then look to me like military jets were actually chasing them and then more followed and then more followed. It was not the SPACEX lights it was something else

Looked up at the sky and immediately noticed all the traffic high in the sky.

There were many light orbs I counted over 50 only in the time I noticed it.

They were all going in the same direction south east . They were traveling very fast and they at times waited for each other .

I searched for there origin and that's when I noticed a much larger orb about 3 of them that appeared to be shooting them out. Even saw a dual for ation right before sunrise.

Solid round flying object.

While on a call for service (Police services) I was facing south on Beverly Blvd. at Poplar Ave. in the city of Montebello California. I then observed a round illuminated object in the sky. I noticed there was two 747 type planes in the air space at the time of the incident.

For approximately one second, I observed a round illuminated object travel across the sky. The object traveled at a high rate of speed, passing the two airplanes in air space.

The thing that made me believe this object (UFO) was not a shooting star, was the fact it had no trailing line.

It traveled alone as a solid object. It started at a slow rate of speed and disappeared into the nearby clouds.

there was a huge rectangular object vertically on top of East Los angeles

I came home about 12:50 am. Was walking east to west carrying my sleeping daughter and I just happened to look up to the west towards downtown Los Angeles And there was a huge rectangular object I could say vertically on top of East Los angeles, I thought the fog was covering the moon but the stars behind it were visible and even some at low altitude.

I can only describe its size as possibly as both twin towers put together in height and length. It was not glowing, it seen it was only reflecting the lights of the city so it looked pale in color. I walked in the to house to put my daughter to bed and to get a camera but when I came back out it was gone

Sphere shape, red, blue and white lights, over Montebello headed north west toward ELA / Monterey Park

It was approximately a couple or a few hours after the Mosely vs. Cotto fight. As me and my friend were walking to my car so I can take him home. My friend spotted the object first and told me to look. At first glance I thought it was a balloon because it was round and white, it was hovering pretty low, I told him it looks like a balloon. He disagreed, As I focused in on the object the object started to move very quickly going North west towards East Los Angeles / Monterey Park area, it had blue, white and red lights, Not extremely bright but bright enough to see once your eyes have focused in on it. As the object seemed to be weightless because of the way in was moving, it was moving side to side but still on a straight path, we observed till the object faded out. We were in the area of Whittier Blvd and Montebello Blvd @ approximately 11:00 pm

A sighting that was out of the ordinary, but not extraordinary.

I was driving down a street at 2:20AM near my home and a light caught my eye. I slowed down and thought I was looking at a police helicopter with a light they use to shine down onto the ground, but it was not shining onto the ground. Then I realized that the light was not contained in a spot light, it was more like a yellow hued flood light that shined really brightly then got smaller, but still as bright, then back to very large and bright then down to nothing. The Object is best described as an elongated helicopter or airplane but it lacked the little flashing red and blue lights that I've seen on every aircraft. This object did however have small windows that would have been similar to a plane, but weren't lit up the whole time. I rolled down my window to hear the engine thinking that would help me figure out what it was and there was no sound of any engine, but the object was close enough and low enough that an engine should have been heard. The object was flying very low off the ground so I doubt it was a plane. The object stayed stationary for about a minute, continued towards downtown LA, then paused again and continued without any visible lights. Then the object eventually faded into the distance and was no long visible. This sighting was not a crazy light show of any sorts or like any other sightings I've read about in the past half hour. What I saw just out of the ordinary, but not extraordinary.

It was cloudy that night but the sky had been clearing. i was walking a friend to his car when we both observed a orange glow loating across the sky. Airplanes make their turns in this area and you can always hear them because their so low but not what we saw. It was moving at a steady speed, stoped then disapeared. I wasn't a believer till now. I called my buddy up a few days later and asked him if we were crazy and he said no because that was fact that they do exsist.

Red ball of light over East Los Angeles

We saw a red light in the sky right above us. I t hovered above us but was floating east. The object was about as high as an airplane and looked like a star except it was deep rich redand floated. Then as it moved it began to blink and then it shot to the right and back to where it was before it began to float. It must have travled about 5,000 mile across the sky in about 1/10th of a second. Then it floated back to where it first dissapeared and began to blink again then dissapeared, and just as it did it reapeared on the other side of the sky above us. It floated back across the sky and then blinked itself out.

This has been reported by many others. First I saw a bright red light, nearly overhead, but more to the north. I watched it for 10 minutes, it tracked a little to the north-west, began blinking and dissapeared. About a half hour later, I saw the same bright red light to the east or south east. It was lower in the horizon, moved very slowly in a north-westerly direction, hovered for a while, blinked intermittantly and the lights went out. I video taped it.

I do not believe in UFO's. This could easily have been a man made object - it was just very strange for a number of reasons: The bright red light, It hovered in the same place and made no noise, the blinking of the light seemed random.

Brilliant glowing red "star" in the sky that was no identifiable aircraft and moved before vanishing

We first noticed a very brilliant glowing red "star" in the southwest sky (about 60 degrees to the horizon) at about 12:20 am Sunday morning. It was very, very high in the sky and it was obviously not an aircraft. At first we thought it was Mars, but we later located Mars at a different location from the glowing red object. It was stationary for almost the entire duration while we were watching it, and then it started moving northerly and then disappeared all of a sudden. It did not leave any trails in the sky but faded in and out a couple of times before disappearing. It was extremely bright and very red. We are absolutely positive it was not an aircraft due to the apparent extreme altitude, shape, and movement.

on sunday the 24th of august at 00:14hrs we witnessed a bright red spot in the sky as red as a stop light. It looked like a star.we all looked up and we all seen it. This star was moving slowly across the sky it lasted about 8 minutes in the sky before fading into space.Before fading into the space it started to flash a bit,then it tilted a bit and flashed some more and as ifit got sucked into space.

I called a few local news stations and there response to it was that it was mars,wich we all doubted,planets dont move and just dissapear.I told my son this is the first and last time we see something like this.

We gazed up into the sky for a few nights hoping to see this phenomenon once more but no luck, but this morning we saw it again at 00:12hrs this this very early sunday morning on the 31st of august 2003.Only seven days later all the same witnesses same location in the sky as if it was a replay, this time I called my sister who lives half a mile from sighting she also witnessed it. we took pictures of it,the weird thing about this was ,that when we took the picture the glare from the object would dim out with the flash of the camera it seemed like it would respond to the flash of the camera. then it flashed a few times and like the past week it was on its way.

This a shock to all who seen this and we all have our own thories or opinions , the news says its a reflection from mars ,wich i think its a bunchof bull shit excuse my language.I know thats its not mars im hoping U F O.

My story is true i can swear on the bible. Please if you have any clue of what this my be please E-mail me at ((e-address deleted)). plaese help us to get your opinion on this. IT is 03:28hrs pacifc time sunday the 31st of august.

We filmed this bright red light off and on for 45 minutes or longer.Though we could visibly see the light,you couldn't tell it was moving until you looked at the view finder on the cam corder.The light was pulsating changing colors from red to white and changing size as well.We filmed it with steady hands, but the objects seem to move so quickly it was difficult at times to keep up with it.

We saw only one at first then a second one joined it, but that one was farther away from the first,and when second light appeared the original light disappeared.The second light faded after roughly 15-20 minutes after the original light had left.

We wonder whether the witnesses might have been observing celestial bodies, but that is only a guess. PD

Bright red light in the skies over Los Angeles - stationary at first, then blinking in morse-code

Approximatey 11pm I noticed a bright red dot in the sky. The sky was completley clear. This dot looked about the same distance and same size as the stars around it only it was bright red. It did not move or flicker. It stayed stationary for about 40 minutes when it started to blink in a morse-code fashion. It would periodically fade in and out, until finally, it faded out all together. There were approximatley 20 witness to this activity. It was not a natural occurance. This was something extrs-terrestiral.

The description of the object is not inconsistent with that of a "twinkling" star, we observe. However, we do not know what the witnesses observed. PD

The large red light moved accross the sky, and stopped on the north side of our home. Affter about 15 min. it just vanished.

My 18 year old son returned home with 4 of his friends at approximately 12:15 am, when they spotted a large red light moveing across the sky and stopping on the north side of our home. My son came into my room and woke me up to use the camcorder to film the light. I thought he was talking about a red light about the size of a star, but when I went out with him, the red light, it was huge and a dark red. It appeared to be the size of maybe a red light signal, or slightly larger. I was so amazed that I went inside to call my oldest son on the phone. I dialed his number, and got a recording to a business that my deceased husband worked for prior to his death, in July of 1999. I could not believe my ears, so I hung up and pressed redial and looked at the number on the display. It was my sons number, and again the recording came on. I let my son and daugher listen to the recording, each time pressing the redial button and looking at the displayed number. I have never memorized his work number, nor have I called that number since 1999. This was a shock to me, because, even if I had dialed a wrong number, what were that chances that I would get that business. As my son continued to record this light it appeard to come closser and then it went further out, pulsed a few times and then just dissapeared. We all went inside to see what was filmed on tv. At approximately 12:40 am, I called channel 11 news, tip desk. I told them what we had seen, and the gentlemen informed me that there were 3 other calls out of Motebello reporting the same red light. I told him that we had footage, and he took my information and said that someone would call us in the morning. By noon on Aug. 24th, we still had not heard from channel 11, so I called channel 5, who suggested that we take the tape to the studio so that they could make a copy of it. The gentleman that spoke to my son, told him that it was probbably mars, but after reviewing and copying the tape, he said that it was not mars, labled the t! ape UFO and told my son that they would call him if they used it. We have not heard from them to date. I still have the origenal tape, except that I inadvertently tape over a small portion of it, however the beginging of the filming and the ending where it dissapears is still in tack.

A very bright red light appears and disapears in three minutes after just huvering in the sky.

My son asked my brother to borrow his binnoculors because he heard mars was near by.

So my brother got them for him so we all were looking up in the sky suddenly my son said, "dad look at that red light is that mars?" he said, so everybody looked up again and there it was a bright red object as high as some of the stars. It appeared to just sit there so we were all wondering what it could be. I got the binnoculars to take a lil closser look and it was bright red,half around the circle was more red lights aroun the object there had to be at least 20 lights but the same color as the object. all of a sudden it faded a bit and finally it disapeard as if it was sucked up into space. I called various news stations to see if they had any other calls on this but they all said oh its just mars.

I know and everyone else knows that this can not be a planet. Planets dont just get sucked up into space the way we wittnessed it.

two to three second display of synchronized lights travelling really fast.

I was a passenger in the rear of a car when i saw the lights. We were headed east on Washington Blvd and the lights were also heading east. They were towards the north. I observed the light in the north sky. At first, i saw one light, green like a laser light. It was going horizontally really fast.

At first, i thought that it was a firework, but then it did something amazing.

While flying, it split into two, with the second light coming off at a perfect 45 degree angle then immediately paralleling the first light.

At the same time that the second light paralleled the first light, a third light shot out of the second light then on turn also paralleled the other two lights. The first light was slightly ahead of the second light which was slightly ahead of the third light.

I immediately yelled at my 2 companions but it happened too fast and they didn't catch it. I know what i saw and i don't need witnesses.

I have seen and believe.

Report of fire ball hovering above a city street.

I was in the passenger seat of my mothers car, she was driving. We were about 20 feet from an intersection when we both saw a ball of fire. It wasn't moving. It was just hovering there. My mother and I both saw it at the same time, but said nothing to each-other.

As soon as we passed it, we both looked at each other and said; "Did you just see that?" I turned around quick and couldn't see anything. We made a u-turn and drove through the exact area that we saw it. It wasn't there.

This happened about 15 years ago. I was fourteen years old and my mother was 43. The area in which it happened was a normal city street. It wasn't above in the clouds, afar. It was in the midst of where we were. I could have thrown a rock at it. It was round. The colors where orange, red, and yellow. We both saw it for at least 30 seconds.

I was listening to Coast To Coast and was amazed at the description of the fire ball. So I thought I would write in and give my report.

I sent some images to your email address. They are a digital rendering of what we saw and it's size.
