Description

Taken in Northern California on 7/8/25 at 9:14PM pacific time. I was using my telescope with my iPhone attached to it for pictures and I captured these three pictures back to back quickly within milliseconds with a Bluetooth shutter button and then it was gone super fast for how far away it was. Does anyone know what this is? I’m hearing I could use some photo editing software to remove the RGB colored lights surrounding the object. Any other ideas or advice? I’m under the impression I could have seen my first UFO/UAP and I possibly captured a couple pictures of it; that would be cool if it was.

Time: 9:14 PM pacific time on 7/8/25

Location: Northern California near Stockton, CA

Update: Here are the zoomed in pictures edited with software to remove color and try to add more clarity. Does it remind anyone of anything? The third one looks the worst, it was the last one taken before it disappeared. By the way, I looked up and did see this thing in person flying what looked like next to the moon. It was not a star.
