SINCE OCTOBER 29TH, A PAIR OF LIGHTS HAVE RETURNED TO SANTA CRUZ EACH NIGHT. THEY DO NOT APPEAR OR BEHAVE AS PLANETS The below refers in part to materials I was not able to include because of your file limits. I can send you the materials discussed but not included via Google or We Transfer.

Hello - My name is ((namea dleted)). I am a music teacher and photographer who lives on the West Side of Santa Cruz, California. I am writing to ask for your help in interpreting one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

It has been occurring since late October and continues each night there are no clouds or rain. On October 29th my neighbors and I first noticed two unidentifiable lights in our neighborhood - one smaller and distant, the other large and seemingly closer. I am a layman and not a scientist, but I feel like I can rule out a planet because: - they don't move position in the sky from night to night, or even week to week.

They appear to return to the same coordinates each night; Both the smaller light and the large and bright one move in the sky visible to the naked eye. The smaller lights’ movement is very jagged. The brighter objects’ movement is more of a swaying back and forth.

When I center the brighter object with my camera on a tripod, it moves out of frame in minutes, to the point where it is no longer visible from my vantage point. After several repositionings of the tripod, I have always had to move to a new location to continue shooting it. The brighter object has many smaller, fainter, fast moving lights near and around it that are very visible in the screen of my camera when it is in live view.

The brighter object is usually accompanied by a triangular looking object that moves from frame to frame around and near it, photos 5347-5357. There is some wind, but the tripod is fixed, and to my layman’s eye it appears to show both objects moving in contrary motion to one another. I have also been videotaping the object since October 30th with my cell phone.

I am enclosing a few videos and some freeze frames. In movie 1423, I was actually able to film the brighter object arriving in daylight. In movie “Video 2,” taken on 11/13/21, watch for a series of flashes, about 25 in all, starting in the upper right moving left, above and around the bright object.

I did freeze frames of these flashes, which are enclosed. In movie 1579, taken November 23rd at 5:48, to the lower left of the bright object is a smaller flashing light, which when zoomed in on looks very curious, almost like a metallic, spinning hexagram. Beginning on November 10th, I started using my Nikon D750 on a tripod (although I had to move the tripod several times when the lights were moving quickly.

) After observing and photographing the larger object with my 500mm lens, it seems like there is a pattern to what is occurring on a nightly basis. I want to say again that I am a layman, and so the terms and descriptions I use may not be scientific or accurate, but they describe what a layman has seen and photographed on several nights. The object arrives as a sphere (Movie 1423, taken November 6th at 6:27pm).

It seems to grow in size and brightness and then goes through a series of intense flashes, lasting several seconds, where the intensity of the light increases, and the sphere appears to change shape. In the photos where the sphere is not a sphere any longer, for lack of any other way to describe it, multi-colored, worm-like objects that to my layman’s eye resemble DNA strands fill the entire sky. To my unscientific eye they appear to be clones of the object in some way, because these “DNA strands” are the exact shape of the nearby object as it flashes with different shapes in each of these photos.

I have taken photos of this on a few different nights. Photos 4812-4912 are from 11/10/21 at 7:55pm. Photos 5615, 5677, and 5691 were taken on 11/17 at 8:30pm and show very similar images to 11/10.

5691 shows a stick like object that appears in many other photos. The last series of photos from 11/24/21 are for me the most puzzling and the most disturbing. I can only describe it in my very unscientific terms.

During this stage the object moves a lot, and so I was struggling to keep up with it. They show the main, bright object being surrounded by multi-colored projectiles of some sort. I struggled to get the first shots of this, photos 5364-5378, which are partially obscured by the trees.

(One interesting thing to note is the way the triangular object is visible even through the tree in photo 5364). In photo sequence 5379-5385, I got a clear shot of this head on. The projectiles surround the bright object and seemingly penetrate it like sperm to an ovum for lack of a better metaphor, exploding out the other side of the object with a great flash of energy.

On November 17th I captured the same images a third time just before the object moved and went out of range, photos 5781-5794. I have many more images that I can send that span several weeks if you are interested. I am simply looking for a scientific, rational explanation for what I have filmed and photographed.

Thank you so much for your help!.

Unusual aircraft only in mornings A loud vroom sound is heard. I see in the sky an aircraft with two large engines on either side but no wings on side or on back. I hear this sound only in the mornings.

Not first aircraft spotted with this form and sound. Others seen are always traveling from south to north.
