Four Saucers Above CA

Quick witness background:My friend and I are not cops or doctors, we aren't employed in any notoriously "reputable" professional positions- we're average people who saw four objects that did not "belong" in the sky above us.

I have spent most of my life in a major military town, for me-seeing strange objects in the sky is usually very easy to chalk up to military activity. This time I was far from home and there was no way to explain away what I saw and when I blew up what I caught on camera, I definitely thought I recognized the shape from UFO documentaries.

A friend and I were on a road trip in CA heading North on the 5 Freeway in the Fresno and Merced counties area. At the beginning of sunset we both noticed four distinct very bright objects in the sky that seemed to be reflecting the sun's light. From where we were they looked like grains of rice or possibly disks, they were angled diagonally but one seemed to be more circular (probably due to the angle we were looking from). The objects were completely stationary for the entire time that we saw them- NO trajectory or flight path, NO smoke or trail- completely stationary for at least 4 or 5 minutes until stratus clouds rolled in and the sun went down.

So far I have contacted two personal friends: one a military physicist and the other a formal naval airman- with both my story and photos. The response I got from the airman was "that looks like what I saw", the response from the physicist was "stationary for at least 5 minutes?" I am posting this to see if anyone else encountered this…
