The sea tide was at its lowest and a an earthquake in chile https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/2010_chile_earthquake had triggered a and tsunami event which had passed earlier in the day. i sitting in the sand on laguna beach's main beach approximately 100-yards from pacific coast highway and broadway avenue. i had been retracing a course laid out in the laguna art museum's art & nature outisde exhibit in the sand, and was also looking out into the waves and distant horizon beyond catalina island. then out of the ocean approxiamtely 5-miles south of catalina island an object shaped like a sphere popped out of the ocean. initially, i thought i was seeing a missle launch as it was in the vicinity of a naval test area, but then the dome, spinning counter-clockwise with blinking blue, red, and green lights around its center duplicated into another of the same shape and lights, then it duplicated to another, and the original duplicated whihc made four craft, until the third one to appear duplicated another making five. the night sky was clear, no clouds, visibility was approximately 50-miles and air traffic was flying the pattern into john wayne iap sna at the time all five were hovering and spinning counterclockwise until they shifted their shape into a pentagon-shape and held that position for less then 15-seconds, then shifted into a line all evently spaced and then flew off in the direction of vandenburg air force base at a very hight rate of speed – hypersonic and no audible engine noise was heard, and i lost sight of the craft. . my thoughts, feelings, reactions and actions, during and after sighting the object were thinking if that wasn't something government it was something from our of this world.
