| Green Object flying over LA Area This morning Aug 29th, 2009 at 5:20 A.M. approximately, coming back home from work in La Palma, California, I saw a flying object in front of me. The object was about 2/3rds the size of the sun, round, green, like the green traffic lights, but reflecting some kind of less brilliant, faded light, like an aurora, possibly due to clouds in the sky. I was traveling North on Valley View Blvd, and the object went from SWW to NNE and started at about an altitude of 40 degrees end ended at about 25 degrees from horizontal. It covered about 90 degree of my peripheral view and lasted about 1.5 to 2 seconds. No noise was produced and I don’t know the distance of the object from my point of view. When I got home I commented it to my son, and he affirms that he saw the same thing, only that this object was changing colors from green to orange to yellow, something I didn’t catch. As a reference, Mars, the most brilliant star at that time was at about an altitude of 45 deg in the NEE position. The flying object was three to four times more brilliant and bigger than Mars, but in green color. ((NUFORC Note: Mars not visible from Earth on this date, at this time. Possibly a sighting of Sirius, if it was in the northeast sky, we suspect. PD)) |
