Residents in Palmdale described the objects as moving “quickly” and “swiftly.” This, of course, sparked a conversation about aliens in the universe. The UFOs were spotted near air force bases, too, which also added a unique layer to the discourse.

“Me and my daughter were hanging out in the backyard when we both thought we saw a shooting star falling east. It stopped very abruptly and zigzagged going north,” another person added. “Checking to see if anyone else saw it or if we’re both going crazy.”
“Look at this weird UFO I just filmed in my backyard,” another person wrote. They also had an eerie video of an object flying across the sky.
“You guys… You won’t believe what I just saw,” a Ring app member posted. “I saw (a) UFO. I was walking my dog in my backyard and saw a bright light in the sky. … Please tell me I’m not the only one who saw it!”
