Witness Statement: Hello,

I wanted to get away from the U.S. sight's, I did however contact one a few days ago but have not heard back.

I don't know what it was that I photographed, but it was strange & unfamiliar to both my 15 year old son & myself. I am positive it wasn't a star, pretty sure it wasn't a planet (we saw three similar lights located roughly south/east, south & south/west, visible from 9:00pm to last view @! 2:30am, always situated in the same position), my wife says they are satellites, but I don't believe satellites are outfitted with a lighting system. Briefly, what my son & I saw, clearly, was a barbell shaped light with a distinctive reddish/orange light on one side a short dull white line then a brighter white light on the other side of the "barbell". There were three distinctive & exactly similar lights in the position's I described earlier. These lights would slowly & sporadically strobe including a blue light occasionally blinking in different position's. They also seemed to abruptly dart a short distance then back again to their original position, the boy & I always noticed @ the same time if looking @ the same position. The strangest objects are the smaller bright red objects (view pic's magnified to 350-800%) always in the same positions below the "barbells" usually two of them but a lot of times only one.

I am sending 4 pictures all shot with my $100 Nikon camera maxed out on the zoom. Locate my zip code, 92530, California, USA, & you can then roughly position the photos on a map. I believe the ones attached are all of the "south" facing light, I did shoot some of the south/east light, but none of the south/west one. The photo's I took were on a couple of different nights over a week's period. Has anyone else reported? Lastly, there are several jets flying around this area, I can't believe none of them saw these lights, that's why I am questioning myself as to what it is I think I saw. The lights were definitely there, I have photo's, but are they manmade, a common celestial activity, or something else. Interesting none the less.
