π Description
The Sacramento-area sighting from Sept. 30, 2022 involved a small grouping of orb-shaped lights observed by a single driver along Interstate 80 near the Yolo Causeway over the Sacramento River. The video reportedly shows two lights that appear to swivel and then a third and fourth light join, with the full sighting lasting roughly 3β4 minutes as the witness drove past rice fields toward West Sacramento. Following reports and MUFON references, observers debated whether the phenomenon was aircraft in formation, space debris, or other conventional explanations. In later years, U.S. media noted that similar sky-lights in the region have been explained as Starlink satellites or space debris, though no official determination has been published for this specific Sacramento case. The incident remains unresolved with no confirmed extraterrestrial origin.
π Circumstances
Date of event: September 30, 2022. Time near 10:10 PM. Location along I-80 at the Yolo Causeway, over the Sacramento River, Sacramento metro area. Witness was driving eastbound; video captured the lights while the driver could not safely pull over. The sighting reportedly lasted 3β4 minutes as the vehicle passed the rice fields and continued beyond the area. The footage circulated in UFO reporting circles (MUFO/OutKick/UFO blogs) with speculation about fleet behavior.
π€ Physical Description
Bright, orb-shaped white lights. At first appeared as two lights, then seemingly swiveled and formed a sequence where a third and then a fourth light joined, described by some as a βfleetβ of orbs. No visible propulsion or contrails noted in the reports.
βΉοΈ Additional Details
MUFON was reportedly notified by the eyewitness; multiple media outlets covered the sighting with varying interpretations.

Public discussion includes both mainstream debunking and ongoing speculation in UFO communities.
