I saw this on tv yesterday. I saw something in the sky in 1973 in San Diego. I was 10 years old. I don’t know what it was. It looked disc spaced and it had 3 light panels. It hovered in one place. I called my friend over to look at it but before I got her attention it took off. It just disappeared in a second.

In 1986 I had a UFO/Alien encounter in Pacific Beach. It was terrifying, I woke up in the middle of the night and a tall being was in my room, there was a bright light and something hovering over the building I've had a handful more encounters in the passing decades, some of them quite intense. In spite of all of those experiences, I have no idea what its all about

I believe this is the same UFO that I witnessed in 1973. I was about an hour north of San Diego at the time, out near Fallbrook.

I just seen a reddish/ orange ball above lemon grove, I watched it sit for 5 minutes then it went east, into the clouds. Was crazy

[@geecee7600]

Can you state exactly where it looked like it was hovering and what it's exact bearing was from that point?

I know this is months later but I also saw an orange light in lemon grove area when I saw it went west from my direction towards the ocean. I also have a video of the light in the sky stationary the quality isn’t the best. The time I took the video was late November of last year around 7pm. Very weird.

@@Ghost-zk2br I seen a orange light at the same spot, last month. It’s a bit left from the 125 and the hill. It only comes around when it’s cloudy.

What other news events were current in the area ? maybe that is why they were there.

Does anybody remember this? We were driving down El Cajon Blvd in El Cajon about seven in the summer, the sun was just going down. The sky was clear blue, then noticed a small white cloud that appeared to be hovering over upper Fletcher Parkway. We pull over at the 7-11 on the corner of Mollison. Got of the car and saw two lights in the cloud like car headlights. It stayed in the same spot well over three minutes. We were pointing at it, people were coming out of the store, they were looking, there was a dozen people. Then the cloud started to disapate and a little cloud appears next to it, then it all goes away. Many reports from around the county. Vandenberg said it was a test missle. It was on the news.

I remember this and was just asking people if they remembered this on Facebook. Which no one else remembered. It was in the 90s right?

[@BillyDaKid-pn2nn]

The Orange balls were also seen in the general area

[@crucfx.]

any other videos covering this case in more detail?

[@marieSnowtruthjustice]

[@daysund.3805]

[@kdproductions7725]
