I (and my brother-in-law) saw something a long while back that, while I have a rational explanation for what it might have been - I still don't honestly know for certain.
It was late at night and we were in the back of a pickup getting some shuteye, heading east on the 8 outside of San Diego - if I had to make a guess we were somewhere between SD and El Centro; I can't narrow it down more.
So we're going down the freeway, and above the mountains to the south we see this bright "dot" - yellowish. It sits there, hovering above the mountains. Then it moves slowly to the west, staying above the mountain line - and instantly stops. Stays still for a bit, then at a steep angle (or what appeared to be) it instantly accelerated (like in the blink of the eye) "up" and was gone.
My best guess after the fact? Somebody aiming or messing around with an artificial star (sodium laser):
This sounds similar to what we saw. I want to know as well but I don't think it was a laser in our case. I could be wrong though, I'm okay with it being a mystery for now.
They moved around in a non-linear fashion at will, they were intelligently operated. One of them disappeared in a flash...
Strange thing was during encounter #2, they appeared in the spot in the sky 2 nights in a row.
It's easy to dismiss these encounters as nothing and it's also easy to just jump to wild conclusions. I asked here to see if others have seen something like this and I got my answer, I'm not the only one. It's good that both of our encounters were in California too, where some of these leaked videos are from as well.

At least - that's what I tell myself, because I have no other rational idea as to what could move like that...
