On Aug. 8 from reader Kim Bode: "Last night my daughter and I saw 2 white (but turned out to be orange when viewed through binoculars) shapes in the night sky (over Laguna Niguel). In googling, I found your articles in the Patch. Do you know anything about these sightings last night? I also came across a YouTube video someone has posted about this, but it is not clear what you are looking at. At first we saw 2 spheres in the sky, which disappeared. Then about 10 minutes later one reappeared and disappeared and about 5-10 minutes after that the same one reappeared. We also happened to hear a lot of the testing last night (the booms) that Camp Pendelton makes, so at first I thought it might be connected to that?"
: : We saw a huge orange ball of fire coming down last night. It turned direction and disappeared. We did not know what it was.
