Location: No.Hollywood, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

After staying stationary for 5 minutes, the craft quickly accelerated toward the south and disappered.

I first noticied an extreamly bright red light in the western sky approximitly 45 degrees above the horizon. It moved very slowly in a southeast direction and eventially came to a stop at about 80 degrees above the horizon.It was a warm, calm, and quiet night. There were not any other aircraft in the area at the time of our sighting. I had my father retrieve his 7-35 binoculars which I used for the remainder of the sighting. The crafts altitude was very high for I could not detect its shape. The light then started going off and on,not blinking, but as though a shutter was covering the source,a couple of times slowly, a couple of times fast and then it stayed on. The object stayed stationary for 5 minutes, then the red light went off and revealed a faint white light, and then it instantly accelerated in a southward direction, dropping three red objects as it departed , and was quickly gone over the Santa Monica Mountains.
