| Two people observe pair of very bright comet-like objects over Los Angeles. As my wife and I were driving North on the 405 Freeway near Panorama City (North of Los Angeles) we observed two objects that appeared to be Comets, very bright wite streaking fiery objects with gaseous trails making a sort of cone shap. They were at least 30 degrees apart in the sky at abot 60 degree elevation above the horizon. One was directly in front of us and the other to our left. They were very distracting and the one to our left seemed to be be moving North by Northeast at a high speed. My initial thought was some kind of specialized rocket or aircraft but my wife insisted they ghad to be comets as they were giving off an immense amount of light energy for the distance they must have been. We tracked them for at least 15 minutes then they both quickly disappeared from sight. ((NUFORC Note: We do not understand how objects can be "streaking," but still be in sight for an estimate 15 minutes. We will attempt to obtain more information from the source. PD)) |
