Ufo over downtown Los Angeles witnessed by a husband and wife

It was in the shape of a slightly flattened soap bubble being oval in the horizontal and I assume circular in the vertical perspective. The hull changed color like a soap bubble but the color was the light source instead of a reflection of light. It appeared to become more transparent when there was more light behind it and more light producing when there was less light behind it. It made no noise and the inhabitants which I could see as profiles appeared to be human and it wouldn't really surprise me to find out that it was from earth as in a special air force plane. I could see the platform that the riders were standing on and the instruments appeared to be mostly centrally located except for one or two short panels nearer the outer edge of the ship. It also would not surprise me if there were no other reports of this because even though it occured in downtown L. A. anyone who has seen anything like a flying saucer is rediculed from the outset and not having proof ignored. That was my husband's report . He was taking me to work on Figueroa and I spotted it behind a hotel on Olympic & Figueroa. It was on our left and I was able to look into the craft and they were staring back at us. I was on the back of his Honda 450 motorcycle and got a great view.I am willing to be hypnotized to give better details. I gave a report to this site last year but I wanted to share my spouse's perspective. It was strange to see a UFO downtown but that was years before they developed the land. It was probably 75 or 76. But it was Oct.31st because I was working at 1200 12th st and there was a Halloween party that nite at work Morrie's Ballroom. It was only about 15-30 feet off the ground. There was 3-4 men that were leaning over what looked like a console at us. I don't know where they were from but I'll never know if I don't submit this form. It's been a mystery for a little over 25 years and I need to know if anyone has seen a Ufo that reminded them of a soap bubble that they could see through when the sun hit it just! right.

It occured around sunset going westward.
