No of observers: 1

Location: Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley), CA, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Light moving radiply accross the sky much faster than any airplane

Saw light moving rapidly and silently across the sky. Was much too fast (and quiet) to be an airplane, yet too slow to be a meteor. Looked like a yellowish light with two smaller lights tucked at its sides. Two smaller lights almosts appeared to be "flapping" and changing color but I could not say for certain because it moved so fast. Light faded and dissapeared as it got further and further away. My only terrestrial explanation would be a supersonic military aircraft (Edwards Airforce Base is in the desert about 50 miles from L.A.) but such craft usually do not fly over metropolitan L.A. and I would have heard a lot of jet noise.





NUFORC Note:

The ISS did not orbit over L.A. on this date. Also, most satellites would not be visible at 01:00 hrs., since they would be in the Earth's shadow. PD
