Three California witnesses report three objects moving to the north northeast with a "toy top" shape, according to August 28, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The first object that they saw "stopped illuminating."
"Several others appeared fully illuminated stretched out in a line that was varied in lateral and horizontal position," the witness stated. "There was no sound. The objects all had the same configuration. The illuminated shape was like a clear sphere approximately 50-90 feet diameter."
The witness described the illumination.
"The illumination was accomplished by what appeared to be a solid bar of light that resembles a flattened out letter 'W'. It changed color at times - bright orange on a couple of them - yellowish on others. During their approach the last three trailing objects swept wide to the west before turning to the east unlike the lead objects. The illumination was not navigational lighting. There were no red/green white or strobes."
The reporting witness submitted two video files, although there is only audio available now. The witness also submitted one image. No town name was mentioned in the public portion of the MUFON report, which was filed on August 28, 2011. the events occurred on August 27, 2011. The above quotes were edited for clarity.
