Orange/red glowing object with flashing white and red lights to each side SE of Foothill and Garey, Pomona, CA. Hovered for approx 5 minutes, then began to move in an upward northeasterly direction stopping periodically and dropping at least two balls of light. Stopped again and hovered for approx 4-5 minutes witnessed by both myself and my wife through binoculars. Brightness intensified approximately three times and them dimmed and disappeared.

Approximately 10:20 pm PST I began my nightly walk heading south. Immediately, I observed an orangeish/red glowing object in the sky southeast of Foothill and Garey in Pomona, CA. Kept watching the object for the next 10 minutes making my way back to my house. As I walked north, it seemed to move north along with me. It stopped, the light intensified and it dropped a sphere of light out of its bottom. When I reached my house, I grabbed my binoculars and called for my wife to come out and see it. I observed the object through the binoculars and saw red and white blinking lights on each side of the object. One more sphere of light dropped from the bottom as it hovered there. I then gave the binoculars to my wife who also observed the same. We watched for approximately four minutes during which time the light intensified greatly several times before dimming and disappearing.
