Location: Hollister, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

Break of dawn, an orange sphere shooting thru the sky stops & hovers with an huge white light illuminating from it in a cone shape.

I thought It was a meteor shooting thru the sky as it looked larger than a shooting star but bright and orangish in color. It appeared to be gone when all of the sudden to the west something was in the sky and all I could see was a huge bright spotlight illuminating from it. I could not see the shape of the ufo as the light was too bright. It seem to be still or moving very slowly and I stood mesmerized watching it for about one minute. All of the sudden it was simply gone, no noise. I looked around frantically and did see a light shooting off in the distance to the South upward. I could then see a purple haze or vapor against the morning sky trailing off in the distance to the South.

I also noticed in the sky as I continued my walk just southeast, some angular shaped white vapor trails like those an airplane would normally leave. But since they were angular and zig zagging everywhere..I assume they also came from this ufo.
