Location: Gorman (60 miles north of Los Angeles), CA, USA

Shape: Light

Summary : I was coyote calling on top of a mountain at night, and the sky was dark with clouds. A red flickering light came down through the cloud cover, at first I thought it was a red beacon for a tower that was on the hill but then realize they were behind me and this was out over the Interstate 5 freeway. It moved around in a lazy manor the faded away... gone. Others on the freeway must have seen it also, there was alot of traffic at that time.

The object was a red light that was flickering vary fast, it was on the bright side but not like a fire, but a light. It was not going on a set course, but wandering about the sky. The cloud cover was not to high, may be 1000 feet over my location on the hill. I heard no sound and after it faded away, I packed up and drove with my lights off until I reached the old ridge rout road. I was shacken alittle. May have been a military craft? I don't know.
