Orange orbs over Santa Barbara Biking along the beach on the bike path, my girlfriend and I came upon a very bright orange colored orb, that appeared to come out the water or beach area. There was no indication of a trail of smoke, or any noise. Then another appeared right next to it. They hovered in the same spot for several minutes before drifting off at what appeared to be a high rate of speed. We were not the only people who saw them. A woman walking pass us as we were staring up at the sky, said out loud "oh my god what is that?" We said that we weren't sure. As we continued down the path an additional 100 feet or so, there were a group of people who were commenting on the strange and very bright orange orbs. It was pretty amazing, because I have not seen anything like it in my 45 years. They were not of this world.

Orange orbs over Santa Barbara

Biking along the beach on the bike path, my girlfriend and I came upon a very bright orange colored orb, that appeared to come out the water or beach area. There was no indication of a trail of smoke, or any noise.

Then another appeared right next to it. They hovered in the same spot for several minutes before drifting off at what appeared to be a high rate of speed.

We were not the only people who saw them. A woman walking pass us as we were staring up at the sky, said out loud "oh my god what is that?" We said that we weren't sure.

As we continued down the path an additional 100 feet or so, there were a group of people who were commenting on the strange and very bright orange orbs. It was pretty amazing, because

I have not seen anything like it in my 45 years. They were not of this world.
