blue and red row of lights flying unusaul pattern over orange county, califonia

Tuesday July 14 th at 11:35 pm pst, city of orange California .I witnessed an unexplained craft flying a very unusual pattern in the sky. I am close to a flight path for a local airport but orange county airport (sna) closes for in coming flights at 11 pm pst.

I am used to seeing jets, helicopters, and other small planes, and know their decent patterns. And I know what their landing lights and beacon lights look like. I have never witnessed anything that could fly this pattern so quickly and fly off into the horizon so fast.

The craft resembled a police car light bar but instead of flashing lights , had steady on blue on each end with a row of steady red in the center.

I had a clear view and there was no cloud cover, no other signs of aircraft, I was facing east with a big bright moon to my right towards the south at 2 o clock in the sky, and telephone lines in front of me so it was clear to see the unusual pattern.

The craft was over head flying to my 12 o clock position, I then flew a 90 degree turn to the south at the 3 o’clock position, then diagonally down to the 7 o’clock position, then quickly straight up to the 12 o clock position, then it flew a big arc, from 12 o’clock to 9 o’clock, then another arc from 9 o’clock to the horizon straight in front of me, disappearing. I called to my wife to come out and see as It was happening.

The incident lasted about 35 seconds , it was gone by the time she came out the door. All off this was here in the city, so maybe someone else saw it I hope.
