Ufo disc or just camera reflection?

There has been a lot of great recent stories for readers curious for information about all things out-of-this-world recently.   It all seems like such a fantastic subvention for what we are offered in our "real lives" - work, politics, sports, financial reports, technology or the latest revolutionary upheaval - UFO enthusiasts, to name one of the many "out there" type, keep clicking along.

Occassionally (or not), there are unidentified flying object reports that, for the most part, go completely un-noticed by local media here in the Los Angeles area.  Usually, there is a good reason why this is the case.  In July of 2009 there were about 50 UFO reports made to the Mutual UFO Network.  Sure - lots of these can be written off as junk, joke or to simple logic, but there is the stories believable enough to keep the interest alive, kind of like that one beautiful chip shot I had on the 8th hole in Camarillo last week will keep me playing golf (happens every year).

Here is a report for some recent California reportings to MUFON, but also keep in mind, these are unedited, unverified and only is a small representation of UFO sightings, many of which may go forever unreported:

White colored UFO disc like shape that wasn't visual to the human eye but available to a camera seen 08/03/09:

I was in my den looking at the beautiful sun set in the clear sky. I look at my wife to tell her what a wonderful night it was. Thats when i decide to go grab my camera and race outside to snap a few pictures to keep as memories. When i was taking a picture of the sunset my eye shifts to the moon in the south-east of the sky. I decide to take a picture. Once the picture is captured in my camera i view the picture and I notice that in the upper conner I notice that I caught a light besides the moon. I tell my wife i found a UFO. Right after I take another picture to make sure that there is nothing wrong with my camera and to reassure my self. I rush to my office and download the pictures into my computer. There it was i noticed that the UFO had distanced between the two shots it had traveled in the speed of light.

Comet / flying object fragments, seen 08/03/09:

Hollywood over Los Angles california , 10:02 pm, exactly

sitting with mom in back patio. my viewpoint i could see the back wall and a frame of sky.
saw an intense fast moving streaking object/fragment of light ? another piece broke off of it
and that piece fell downward and went out of sight instantly. the main piece continued and went out of sight instantly
happened within a fraction of one second.
comet, or craft/ cloaking/ disintagration/ commercial satellite breaking up /?

i was startled and scared. jumped up to look at it, said to mom instanty "wow!!"

jumped up and was amazed. comet or something. i instantly thought ufo cause i was studying them.
looks like a comet.  big one! fast! powerful !

dont know what else to say. it was silent. seemed very large. not like a comet from any observations i had before, which were tiny and pitiful, and not as fast.

The object was blinking like a strobe light with a pattern of approx. one light then three seen 08/06/09:

Earlier tonight around 10:20pm I was taking my dog out and was looking around my backyard which has a great open view of the sky with not too much light pollution. I noticed a very bright orb looking object in the North that seemed to appear out of nowhere and then it shot up in a diagonal route from bottom right to upper left. It was so incredibly fast I can't even tell you anything more about it. Once it got going it just seemed to disappear in the sky. My Dad told me it might be a meteor, but from what I have seen of meteor's they fall at a downward angle and this moved at an upward angle. I didn't notice any effect on my dog when the object was overhead, but again it was so fast I barely had time to truly see it.

Later I was inside watching television. From where I was sitting I had a direct view to the backyard. An object was flying through the sky with what appeared to be bright white strobe lights. We have many airplanes/helicopters (military, commercial and private) that fly around here, so I am very familiar with their light patterns and the colors of their lights. I immediately called the attention of my parents who also saw it. My Dad, who has an interest in airplanes looked at it and said it wasn't like any plane he had ever seen before. We took some binoculars to the backyard and watched the object. It was moving North/Northwest towards the city of Rancho Cucamonga/Ontario and was approx. 3 degrees above the horizon.

When looking at it through the binoculars we could see that the only color lights the object had were bright white. The lights flashed in a strobe light manner and the pattern appeared to be one or two lights, three lights and then nothing. When the lights stopped, no object could be seen. I was unable to see a shape of what the object may have looked like, unfortunately. I continued to ask my Dad what he thought it might be and he couldn't figure it out either.
