What looked like a bright star in the day lights caught my eye.I thought to take a pic, but didn’t… then I backed up to take it. This was the same spot my friend saw 6 lights hovering/floating over the mountains ridge. When I looked for the star, it was gone! I literally had a conversation with myself about what I was looking at… I said it was a star… but feeling to return and photograph it drew me back. And it was gone.. SO, it wasn’t a star!

On 03/26/2020 at 8:20 PM I witnessed small lights that appeared to be coming from the same spot in the sky. The lights flew North/ East towards the Angeles Crest mountains at a very high speed and altitude. They were spaced about 6 to 8 seconds apart and continued to appear for a duration of roughly 5 minutes. The last 3 that appeared didn't fly straight with the others. The 2 before the last one stopped and spaced themselves while the last one appeared and flew a very tight J to gather with the other 2 lights to form a triangle. The lights hovered in that formation for about 3 seconds then separated back into a straight line and continued to follow the other lights.

8/13/2017 @ 9:32 p.m. Observing the sky for Perseid meteorites and noticed a light pulse above the Angeles Crest. I kept staring at the same spot to see if it would pulse again, and sure enough, 10 to 15 seconds later, another pulse. I called my son out to make sure I wasn’t imagining things and he confirmed what I was seeing. This continued 32 times. The light pulse was less that a second and varied in brightness each time. It traveled from west to the east and its path spanned approximately 15 degrees within 5 minutes time then finally stopped. I’ve seen many satellite fly overs but nothing like this. Can’t figure this one out???
