There has been a rash of recent UFO activity in the southern California region. Recent reports include:
Los Angeles, CA - 4/4/2009 - Witness observed what they first thought to be a star, but noticed that the object was spinning. The object had flashing blue, white, and red lights and appeared to be far away, possibly travelling over the ocean. It hovered steadily, but would also move up and down. The red lights seemed to be more laser-like and would flash out. Witness said that there were times where the red light was pointed right on their eye.
Santa Cruz, CA - 4/3/2009 - Witness noticed three lights moving exceptionally fast, from east to west, along the Monterey Bay coast. The lights moved in unison, changing directions several times, then disappeared after about ten seconds. The lights appeared to be a dull, dark red, and did not flash or blink. Witness estimated the altitude of several thousand feet. There was no sound, and the object appeared to travel at a much greater speed than a conventional aircraft or satellite. The witness stated that the speed was similar to a "shooting star", except that the three lights changed directions and moved together.
Moreno Valley, CA - 4/1/2009 - Witness observed the object through binoculars and described strange flashing lights. The lights kept flashing red, blue, white, and appeared to be rotating rather than fixed on the wing of an aircraft.
Port Hueneme, CA - 4/1/2009 - Witness observed a bright star-like light moving across the sky. There were no blinking lights and the light maintained the same level of brilliance. The object continued moving away from the witness, heading south towards Malibu. The bright light started to slowly dim, then turned red, before finally disappearing. A few minutes the witness heard the roar of fighter jets flying extremely low up and down the coast for a period of roughly 15 minutes.
If you are within 50 miles or so from an airport it was likely a commercial jet turning off its take-off/landing lights as it gained altitude after takeoff. I've seen the same thing over my house which is about 40-50 miles from our regional airport and directly under the flight path to Dallas.
