Triangle formation filmed over Simi Valley, California 1-Jan-2021

Unknown bright lights in triangular formation were seen and recorded in the sky above the city of Simi Valley, in the eponymous valley, is in the southeast corner of Ventura County, California. This happened on 1st January 2021.

Witness report: Just after midnight on New Year’s Day I went onto my second floor balcony and immediately saw multiple unidentified aerial phenomenon. Being New Year’s Eve there was a lot of visual and audible activity (fireworks, noisemakers, etc), but what I saw did not fit anything I could identify. The multiple glowing red craft would appear from behind some hills to my south, then hover, increase altitude and turn to the west on an ascending trajectory before flickering out. The pattern repeated for about 30 minutes, as if they were on a repeated path. In total I saw 21 craft in multiples of 1,2 or three. The most I saw at one time was 3, so I am not sure if they were the same craft making multiple passes, or individual craft following the previous ones that passed. My best educated guess for an explanation would be drones, but the altitude seemed to reach the height of a commercial jetliner, and the solid lights always flickered out in ways I have never seen with my own eyes. Very curious indeed. I had heard that there were other similar sightings across California on New Year’s Day, with at least one report from Los Angeles. Curious indeed.
