NARRATIVE

I was passing by my front door when I saw two lights to the East, approx. 25° over mountain ranges to the East of Vista. At arms length, the larger light appeared to be the size of a single pea (Not the whole pod, just a pea). The larger brighter light was greenish white in color, stationary, and appeared to have a slight haze around it. There was a smaller white light approaching it from the North. The smaller white light abruptly turned toward and accelerated above and around the large green light and began heading slowly towards the North East and faded out and disappeared within a few seconds. The large green light appeared to begin slowly moving East, before turning slightly North East, and then also fading out and disappearing.
I continued to watch and about 20 seconds later, a bright small light appeared suddenly in the same area, began slowly moving South and flashed 2 times extremely bright, and then faded out and was gone. I then called to my wife and told her what I was seeing. She joined me at an upstairs window, where we continued to watch several dim and bright lights suddenly appear, sometimes two at a time and fly in random directions. (I put down 15+ craft seen, because that is a loose estimate. There were only 1 to 2 objects seen at any given time, but they would appear and disappear with such frequency, I concluded that they couldn't have been the same two craft every time). Occasionally there would be a larger light than the rest, that would flash brightly and disappear. This all went on for about an hour and 20 min and appeared to be contained to one small section of sky. This seemed odd to me. I am located right under commercial and private air lanes, and I clearly saw and heard commercial air traffic pass over much higher than the UAP's appeared to be. The UAP's made no sound. I did hear what sounded to me like 3 quick sonic booms far away.
I attempted to capture video using my phone, and will need to run it through some filters to see if I caught anything. I also tried to take pictures. MCAS Miramar is 23 miles South of my Location. MCB Camp Pendleton is located 9.4 miles North West of my location. MCAGCC 29 Palms is 97 miles North East of my location. Vandenberg Space Force Base is located 251 Miles North West of my location, and March Air Reserve Base is located 55 miles North of my location Fighter jets from Miramar almost never fly over vista. Frequently seen military aircraft in Vista include Vipers, Ospreys, Sea Stallions, C-130's, and rarely Air Force C5's will fly over heading East. No military aircraft were observed anytime during or after the sighting.
I am 45 years old and have witnessed several UAP's throughout my life. My father was US Army, and I have been heavily into NASA and Military Aviation since childhood. My family has a history of UAP sightings, starting in the late 1950's that continues today.
