The lights, which have yet to be explained, were seen in the sky above southern Orange County, Riverside County, and San Diego County.
Representatives for Camp Pendleton and Marines Corps Air Station Miramar said the lights were not related to their bases and aviation officials said the lights were unrelated to them.
Witness “Marilyn” captured an image that apparently showed two round and apparently parallel objects pulsing and hovering near Trabuco Canyon around 10:15 p.m.
Similar sightings were also reported in northern San Diego County and parts of Riverside County.
On the same evening, a resident in Irvine California made an excellent photo of such a mysterious bright light in the sky.
I happened to see a bright whitish orange-yellow light ascending up over the trees in the southeast sky which seemed to come toward me like a plane’s head light (which is what I assumed it was), but then it just stopped and hovered where it was at.
It seemed as if we’re possibly 3-5 miles away, maybe less. I watched for a moment or two and then hurried to put my dog inside while I grabbed my iPhone and headed back out and snapped several pictures.
During the time that the light was present, several helicopters were in the sky heading towards it. One of the helicopters had a search light, but the light was swirling around skyward instead of toward the ground as they do when conducting a typical search.
I watched in amazement thinking there had to be a logical explanation and that it would eventually end up being a common object that I would be able to recognize, but it remained stationary. Then it was as if someone just turned out the light. It seemed as if it was still there after the light went out. Upon examining my pictures, I noticed the light seemed to have a distinctive circular shape with almost a separate round spot in the center that stayed consistent in each picture whether it was a zoom shot or a regular one.
