Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was night-time with a very clear sky. I could see the airplane because of its wing lights and general disposition, after seeing airplanes my whole life. This was different, it seemed like just a light, a blinking light that bounced erratically back and forth. The location of these lights moved at a quick pace, and they were very bright. It seemed to be much further away than the airplane, it looked like it was close to earth.

Size of Object(s)

Since there were two different positions, the relative size for each would be less than half an inch. But the relative size for both positions combined would be about 10 inches or more. The actual size is too difficult to determine.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I don't know this sort of information as I am not qualified to accurately gauge it.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was a beach with a very clear sky. No special buildings. Just the good old California coastline.

Full Description & Details

I saw a commercial airliner heading parallel to the shoreline, but halfway through its flight, which took forever, I saw a blinking light at the far left of the horizon that seemed to bounce back and forth between two positions in the sky zoom past the airplane by at least 10 times the speed of the airplane, until it disappeared into the far right of the horizon. I could hear the airplane but the object in question had no sound.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Could be a satellite or maybe two.

Witness Background

At the time I was a party loving college kid. Now I am a party loving college dropout.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Don't know anything about UFOs and don't really care... just found this site by accident looking for stuff about Ancient India, and I was bored so I thought why not. If they exist, it doesn't affect my life, so I don't care.
