NUFORC Sighting 54755

Occurred: 2007-01-13 11:15 Local
Reported: 2007-01-15 12:16 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Burbank, CA, USA

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

It appeared to be a white cylindrical object near Hollywood/Burbank airport.

I don't know what it was. I was driving north on Hollywood Way toward the Hollywood/Burbank airport. I noticed a jet that had just taken off going southwest and was watching it climb (and I criticize cell phone users).

Right behind it and moving toward the northwest I noticed a white cylindrical object. I thought it may have been a private aircraft but private aircraft aren't permitted to be that close to the airport. It wasn't directly behind it but probably a few hundred feet behind it.

The object was kind of "floating" as it was moving. I continued watching it as I was driving until the car next to me (I was in the inside lane) slowed down and began moving toward the lane I was in.

I took my eyes off of the object for less than 10 seconds. When I looked back, the object was gone.
