Marina Del Rey, CA

I was outside the coffee bean.. about 30 minutes ago. 1930hrs.. PST. At maxella and Glencoe, marina Del rey. CA. As a Chinese lady friend was chatting with me... as I was looking off to the west. Something caught my eye that made me think It was a high flying police helicopter coming in from the beach direction. It was in a hover/stationary yet slooooooow..moving inland... Yet giving off no rotor blade buzz. So I fixed my gaze on it.. it was maybe 4000 feet..I could not tell. As it moved closer.. I thought "quad copter" since I saw [one] red light under it. The longer i gazed...it appeared like a black ball or sphere/egg shaped to my eyes. I called Ellaine to look.. she did not spot it. So I called another person I know who within 20feet of me. I told him.. look up there. As I pointed in the area above By the time he came over. The object..?? ***POOF*** Gone!!

I saw very big blue light turn in to super bright white light over the lax airport! I'm pretty sure it was the most unexplainable thing I have ever seen! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was outside looking up at the moon when I spotted a triangular craft flying across the sky. At first I thought it was a low flying plane, but then I realized there were no lights at all. I live near LAX so there were a lot of other aircraft in the sky at the time, but I've never seen anything without lights. Also, it appeared to be dark brown in color, and had 2 small spheres attached to it's sides. I could not tell if there was any sound since there was a large truck nearby running a very loud pump. My background: I am a 45 year old Digital Artist, with previous experience in Mortgage Banking.
