California - 08-19-10

I was inside the house, then went outside as the sun was starting to set to have a cigarette. As I looked up, I see a red flash streak the sky.

This was not a shooting star, I said to myself. So as I looked up, I then saw (2) very bright objects in the sky to the left of where I saw the red streak.

I noticed they were sitting very low and very still... I watched it for 20 minutes straight with some recording here and there.

Then 1 light remained as I stayed and observed for a little over 2 hours, and the object was still there until I decided to go inside the house to search the Internet to see if there was any talk of our visitor.

At first I thought this could either be a orbiting satellite (then I said no, because it was REALLY low), a very bright star (looked too big for a star, and if I'm not mistaken, I could have sworn the object would rotate colors).

My general feeling after witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime experience was, is the world going to end? and if it were in fact a UFO, wouldn't airspace controllers be the first to extract a team to access and observe the situation in the skies. There are lots of theories...
