I had a close encounter with an unidentified craft over downtown Los Angeles around 1978 or 1979. I saw 4 human in appearance beings .

My husband was driving me to work one day I was on the back of his motorcycle. We were going west on Figueroa St and just crossed Olympic Blvd. I looked to my left at a hotel (Holiday Inn I think) and I saw what appeared to be a metallic colored disc shaped object shoot up from behind the taller buildings nearby. It got to a height of 100 feet into the air. At this point I told Bob to check out his left near the buildings and he did but he told me he had to keep his eyes on the road so I had to watch it for the 2 blocks it traveled in a straight line occassionally dipping 30 feet. We turned left onto 12th St and then the sun shined on it and I could see inside the ship because it turned transparent. I could see 3 or 4 people inside of which 2 were looking out at me & they were leaning over a console /platform. They looked like 2 handsome ordinary human men. I gave them the peace sign because it seemed fun to do. They didn't respond and showed no emotion other than curiosity. I had to go to work at 1200 N. 12th St. so he dropped me off after I told him to follow it. He lost it about 1/2 a block away. I risked being made fun of once when I called radio station KROQ after they asked their listeners if anyone has ever seen a UFO in Southern California. I don't think they believed me but I was curious if anyone else had seen that craft. I have a copy of my calling KROQ. I don't tell many people because of my fear of ridicule. My husband saw them too but not as clearly as me. He has a pretty good description of it all. It reminded us of a soap bubble where the setting sun shone on it. Where the sun didn't hit it , the craft remained steel gray opaque color. My husband doesn't think it's a good idea to tell anyone but I've been keeping quiet too long because of fear of someone coming around and telling me to keep quiet.
