| square shaped object over Southern California Driving home from work, from the corner of my eye, I noticed a grid of lights to my upper left. It was already dark, a clear night. I was driving alongside the Harbor Freeway (110) and this structure, fairly reminiscent of stadium lights, sat above it. I pulled into the large Alpine Village parking lot to observe. It was square and thin, and I always thought it matched a CD jewel case in dimension ratio-wise. It appeared black in the night sky, with circular white lights that ran in rows throughout the bottom, with one pulsing red light in the center. It was low, about 250-300 feet above the freeway, and would probably be covered by 3/4 of my hand extended as I watched from about 150 yards away. It was about 25 feet on each side. I could hear no sound. And traffic flew by on the freeway below, as this thing didn't really appear all that unusual. But I wondered what purpose a light grid served that high over the freeway. It was completely still, no wobble or sway, as if it were attached to a pole. After a minute of suspension, it cruised south in a straight line over the freeway , about 30 mph and stopped. A moment later it traveled north again about 1/3 of the way back. Stopped briefly again, then headed east towards the city of Carson, slowly, and dipped it's left side and straightened out again. I decided to give chase, but my car was in poor condition and soon lost it. |
