Location: Oakland, CA
Shape: Circle
Duration:1 minute
Huge bright blue circles above Oakland for a few seconds, reappeared 1 mi south 2 sec. later then vanished. Definately not a plane.

It was about 1 AM and my girlfriend and I were sitting in my backyard in the Oakland hills looking at the view towards downtown Oakland. Out of nowhere a gigantic, extremely bright circular blue light appeared over the Piedmont cemetary. It was so bright and sudden that we both at the same time said "Whoah what is that!" It was easy to see the light there because the cemetary is one of the only areas in the cityscape that is completely black at night. At first i thought it could be cops in the cemetary shining lights or a helicopter, but after about 1 second it was obvious that it was neither. The light was huge, bright blue, circular, and had defined edges. It even lit up some of the trees directly around it. Then for a split second it looked like there could be two circles. This only lasted for about 3 seconds and just as fast as the huge light had appeared it disappeared. Then the weirdest part happened. About 1-2 seconds after the circle(s) disapp! eared, another blue circle (or possibly the same one) appeared at least one mile away to the south. This time it was merely a flash for about one second after which it disappeared for good. I cant stress how huge and bright blue this circle of light was, and how defined its shape was. Looking at the view it was about the size of one of the houses around it. I couldnt see any sort of craft, just the bright solid light light.
