1. my mother had called me at about 9:45 pm on august the 28th and told me there was a strange light outside that was making very strange movements and flashing weird coloured lights. she lives in bakersfield and i live in kernville (which is about 40 some odd miles to the west of bakersfield i believe) and she asked me to go outside and see if i could see it. after telling me where to look and after describing what i was seeing (flashing red/green/blue/amber lights and erratic side to side/circular/up and down movements/hovering) we realized we were both seeing the same object. she had also seen it the object (as did i) on the 29th, 30th and today (the 2nd of sep) with similar things happening. 2. see above 3. i did not believe it was an aircraft/star/ planet/ or any other type of man made object as it was way too bright to be any kind of aircraft and planets and stars just dont move like that, i believe it is a ufo 4. as stated above it is EXTREMELY bright, brighter than any stars in the sky (in bakersfield the sky is so smoggy its pretty much impossible to see any stars or anything in the sky) and it was moving in circular/side to side/up and down motions and seemed to be hovering. 5. no strange feelings etc 6. i had gone to bed around 11-11:30 that night but my mother had said it had just vanished around 11:45-midnight. we had not noticed it vanishing on any of the other days as we had gone to bed before it vanished. she had said that it just kinda disappeared from sight... like it was there one second and gone another.
