This event has happened on numerous nights over eastern San Diego County. The craft appear to hover in a general area and then leave.

There have been many, many occasions that i have seen, and so have numerous other police and Sheriffs deputies, a group of unknown objects hovering over the eastern part of the San Diego County area. the craft appear to hover in a diamond shaped formation. this last sometimes several 3-4 hours at a time. When the craft finally leave, they move at a very high rate of speed, in different directions side ways, straight up, and also down. Unfortunately none of us have been successful on getting this on film. We are still trying to photograph this. At first many of us laughed it off, but now numerous agencies officers have seen this. There also has been two to three craft hovering out over the north west part of the ocean as we look from the downtown city area. these craft also behave in the same manner, but usually head east over land and then disappear as they get farther away. It's driving many of us to think we're crazy, except now there are too many of us, to consider unusual behavior on our parts.

NUFORC Note:

We have no explanation for what these witnesses are seeing. Sightings of this length would usually cause us to suspect celestial bodies, I.e. stars or planets, but the witness seems to have addressed that possibility, and ruled it out.
