UFO Hotspots in California: Los Angeles, Mount Shasta, San Francisco, Sacramento, Joshua Tree (HubPages)

📍 Location

📝 Description

The HubPages article titled 'UFO Hotspots in California: Los Angeles, Mount Shasta, San Francisco, Sacramento, Joshua Tree' identifies five CA locations as notable UFO hotspots. Since then, a notable update emerged from Los Angeles: in late August 2025, two residents reported a black V-shaped (chevron) UFO with multiple white lights hovering over Los Angeles for about 25–30 minutes before moving south and disappearing; the sighting was documented by NUFORC and widely covered in media and UFO reporting circles. While this LA event adds to California’s ongoing hotspot narrative, experts suggested terrestrial explanations (e.g., drones or secret aircraft) rather than an extraterrestrial craft. The Mount Shasta, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Joshua Tree hotspots remain part of contemporary UFO discourse, but as of the latest updates, the LA incident is the primary new, well-corroborated sighting associated with the HubPages hotspot list. Sources include NUFORC-derived coverage and contemporaneous reports from Coast to Coast AM and legacy media outlets.

🔍 Circumstances

Two witnesses on a balcony in Los Angeles observed a black V-shaped object with lights around 11:13 PM to 11:38 PM on August 28, 2025. The craft hovered or moved slowly overhead for roughly 25–30 minutes, then headed south and disappeared. The witnesses captured video/pictures and reported the event to NUFORC (the National UFO Reporting Center) on August 30, 2025. The sighting is cited in multiple UFO news roundups and has been discussed as part of a broader 2025 trend of chevron-shaped reports.

👤 Physical Description

Chevron/V-shaped, dark/black hull with multiple white lights along the sides (reported as approximately nine lights by some observers). Described as larger than a typical aircraft visually, with a central body and a distinctly triangular horizon profile.

ℹ️ Additional Details

Video and photos were reportedly recorded by the witnesses. NUFORC logged the event as part of its 2025 chevron/UFO reports; some analysts and outlets suggest drone or secret military technology as plausible explanations, though no official confirmation has been issued. This event is framed within the broader California UFO hotspot narrative that includes Los Angeles, Mount Shasta, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Joshua Tree.
