I saw a drone tonight, with my family - there were six of us total at the Encinitas botanical garden Christmas light show. 

My mother-in-law saw first, pointing up in the sky and said “what is that”?

We all looked and saw the same thing. There were a few people next to us that saw it too. 

At least a few hundred feet up, if not more, we saw a stationary light flashing from green to red. 

After we all observed it for at least 60 to 90 seconds, the light shot off to the left at what looked like a “fast drone“ speed of acceleration. Meaning, it did not exhibit instantaneous acceleration, like you may expect from reported UAP sightings, but it definitely went from very stationary to moving very quickly in one direction, and we all gasped and yelled at the same time “we saw drone“. 

It disappeared into the night sky.
