4 red orbs drifting south

I was driving north on Riverside Blvd at aprox 540am when I saw in the sky 4 red orbs that looked to be around the size of a basket ball/ beach ball. They were traveling south from Rialto/ San Bernardino area. They got over the Kinder Morgan tank farm, drifted apart, then just faded out. At first, I thought that they might be drones but I didn't see any blinking FAA lights and couldn't hear anything. Plus, they seemed to have flown from quite a distance before they just faded away. Also, who would be flying drones at 5:30 in the morning?

Location: Colton, NY, USA
Location details: My driveway, was walking to garage and noticed bright white light in distance towards west-northwest

Color: White-Multicolor
Estimated Size: Small dot with full camera zoom
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: West-Northwest
Angle of Elevation: 40
Closest Distance: Hundreds of miles, hard to discern
Estimated Speed: Slow, but erratic
Characteristics: Emitted other objects, Changed Colo

Noticed bright, white planet sized object in west-northwest sky just above treeline in my backyard moving erratically.

Went outside to head to the garage and noticed how clear the night sky was, out of the corner of my eye I caught what looked like a very brght planet just above treeline. I stopped and held still then noticed it start to move erratically in the sky. It appeared to go up and down then side to side, almost like a wobble at times. I realized I had my phone in my pocket so I took a video. I kept trying to zoom in on it and lost it halfway through the video. I was looking west-northwest from my driveway just in front of my garage. There weren't any lights on in the garage, house or yard and my property is very dark due to rural location. It appeared that the bright object was slowly moving towards the horizon and I eventually lost sight of it after almost seven minutes. On the video it appears the object is spinning and is multicolored. It was hard to zoom and keep my phone still but a good portion of the video has the object on it. I had my keys in my hands and other stuff I was to put into my vehicle in the garage, so i was slightly distracted, but this object was not stationary. I saw it with eyes first, saw it move erratically, and then remembered I had my phone in my pocket. The video is taken with an iphone 11 pro max, a slightly older phone. I would love to know if it was just venus close to the horizon and the movement was just atmospheric gases making it appear to move erratically? Regardless, it was pretty cool. I kept having to step back to keep the object in view above the tree limbs. The tree-line is approximately 60 yards behind the house with some large eastern white pines in the surrounding yard. It was a perfect viewing night sky, and the stars were brilliant. I had only been outside a minute before I notice the object moving. It was definitely not satellites, I have seen starlink before too, and this object looked more like a planet than a man made object. It also appeared to have a streak of light emenate from it, almost like a spark at one point in the video. Anyway thanks for listening, I have the video if you are interested.

It was like two round green lights, not too high in the sky

The two round green lights moved at a high rate of speed. Faster than any helicopter or drone could possibly go. I don’t think a jet can move that fast. The lights flashed. As each flash the object would move about a mile. It went out about 10 miles and stopped and hovered for a few minutes then shot back the opposite way . It seemed to stopped once it passed me and hover and even turn around, then turned back and left. It had a glow around it but a light one.

Bright light in the sky vanishes in seconds

I walked out into my back yard and looked up at the sky, looking east. There is nothing obscuring vision here such as trees, buildings, walls, or lights.

There was a noticeably bright light in the sky, not directly overhead, but probably at low-flying plane altitude.

It was round and white. Not flashing. It was standing still. My first thought was a plane moving towards me, but it was not blinking. It looked brighter than a planet.

After around 5 seconds, it slowly moved North and gradually became dimmer until it only looked like a distant star. This went on for about 10 seconds before it disappeared completely.

Skywatching is a hobby of mine and I have excellent vision, even at night. I have seen hundreds of planes, and this was not one. There was no visible plane body, nor were there blinking lights.

At that altitude, I should have been able to clearly read the words "UPS" or "AMAZON" if it were a plane. If it were at a higher altitude, it would need to be tremendously bright. Even then, planes at ~20,000 still blink.

There was actually an airplane nearby at the same time. The plane looked as a normal plane should...with blinking lights and a visible body, making a distant sound as it moved. It was farther away, moving sort of South-West.

If I put my hand up to the sky, it was probably about a finger's length below the UFO and slightly to the right of it. It was very easy to see the difference between the crafts.

Weird things are seen here quite often and my family and I have reported crafts in this area before. We have photos and video of others, but not this one.

Co-worker and I saw a bunch of balloon like objects floating in the southern California sky. There was an bigger object in the center. Maybe it was just closer to us, not sure. Could have been balloons or something else not sure. At any rate I felt the need to report it and see if anyone else saw them too. Objects were traveling east over the San Bernardino mountains. White balls with the biggest and or closest object being ovaled in shape.

UFO Sighting in Inland Empire Sky. Flying Saucer Like Object With Blinking Lights Around It.

My friend’s father was giving me a ride and it was around 9:20 pm when my friend’s mother (also in car) noticed an unknown lighted object in the sky towards west. There were 5 people in the car including me, and we all saw the unknown object in the sky. It was shaped like a flying saucer with blinking lights around it. It was hovering still for the 20 seconds that we got to see it. I knew it was not an airplane because near it was an airplane and it was much smaller and the lights were different, the ufo looked bigger and closer. We lost view of it because we were driving. We reached the house, which was not that far from the place we sighted it. When we got out of the car to take a look it was not there anymore. My friend’s mother went in the house and drew a picture of what she saw and it matched what we all saw. The next day I told my food friend about my sighting and she told me that her friend also saw an unidentified flying object last night. Her frien! d’s description matched mine and we both saw it at around the same time. It was very noticeable and I’m pretty sure there must be a good amount of people who saw it.

Faint red star orbits Saturn and flies rapid sawtooth pattern.

While standing in my yard looking 30 degrees up from the horizon due west at what I think was Saturn, a very close fainter "star" suddenly moved and made a full orbit of saturn in about 2 seconds. It then moved about, performing rapid sawtooth patterns and "normal" linear movements and pauses. I called a family member to bring some binoculars. With them the object still looked like a star, red in color and of constant radiance. I lost the object as it moved lower in the sky and blended with the haze of the city lights. Having a masters in physics, and having worked 7 years in aerospace on missile programs, I know of nothing man made that could have flown the pattern this thing did, pulling tremendous G's to reverse direction the way it did.
