I was sitting outside on the porch at 1:30 am and instantly noticed orbs appearing and disappearing in the night sky. I did not have my phone at first, I just watched them for 5 minutes or so before I went inside to get my phone to record video. The siting happened over a 30 min period and wasn’t over when I went inside. I recorded 5 videos with my iPhone over that time span. Bright orbs appearing & disappearing. Moving slowly, not in a line, appeared & disappeared in multiple locations. When one would appear others would appear shortly after. In the videos submitted you can see foreground objects, city lights & radio tower flashing lights in the background. I watch the sky often, these orbs behaved differently than any satellite I’ve ever seen and there were way too many to be satellites too. No flashing lights indicating aircraft and there were way too many to be aircraft at that time of night. Some of the orbs were too low on the horizon to be satellites, they would have been drown out by the lights of San Jose & San Francisco. These lights were for sure in our atmosphere. They were also not similar to passing aircraft not maneuvered like an aircraft either.
