Adjusted zoom shot. Full speed shot, next clip below.
Before getting into this, I have to say:
I had no tripod for this shot.
I tried to prop myself on a number of things to get a steady shot of this, including a fence, a tree, a gate…I would have used that Great Dane’s back if he had just stayed still.
The camera has a powerful zoom lens, and the object was very far out.
I have nerve damage in my hand and shoulders from a car accident.
All of the above is to acknowledge the image is shaky… I know that, but if I had not steadied myself on what was actually available, there would be no shot at all. So please….
Secondly…it was a windy, blustery, day that day.
This object had to have been two to three miles high and at least 9 to 11 miles towards the east/northeast. I mention these two factors to narrow down any “balloon” theories. The encounter lasted for well over 8 minutes, and a balloon would have disappeared from the scene before I was able to get my camera. Not to mention the fact that I’d never be able to see mylar or led balloons (during the daytime) from 6 to 11 miles away…nor would I be interested in filming one.
Though most have helped me with this sighting, a jaded few have been able to show me any LED balloons that can be seen from 8, 9, 11 miles away...lit up during the daytime. I have yet to see a video online showing anything like it. If anyone can post a daytime LED balloon cluster that looks like this, it would be appreciated.... I have yet to see one. This thing was way larger than a balloon cluster.
Anyway….on with what happened…
My friend and I saw a silver-white point of light as we arrived at the front of my building on a sunny and windy Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles, California.
I looked up and noticed that the silver dot that would normally be a small plane on its way to Santa Monica Airport was not moving as quickly as it should.
In fact, it wasn’t moving at all. It was just hovering there. A point of light. We were a bit more than a stone’s throw from the famous Capitol Records building in Hollywood, so anyone could have looked up and saw the bright glint in the sky. It was a sunny, windy Saturday, people were on the move, and I and he were the only ones that seem to stop and notice.
I said the same thing to my friend then, that I said to my friend during the sighting in 2010…”please tell me that’s a balloon, right?” Although this time the response was definitely different…
“I have to pee”, he says...
“Right”…
I looked up again and it didn’t seem to be moving off anywhere, so I ran down the long hallway, unlocked the door so my friend could find the bathroom, grabbed the video camera, and ran back outside, fully expecting it to be gone.
But although it had been three minutes since I first saw it, it was still there, hovering in place…if not very slowly drifting towards the east. And it seemed to be glowing.
Now I admit, I’m beginning to get a bit far-sighted, so I had no idea what I was capturing at the time. It just looked like a brilliant dot in the side-flipout viewfinder, and I did the best I could to support myself to keep the frame as still as possible. I did this all the while making fun of this woman I saw in a UFO documentary once… I thought it was hilarious the way she pronounced hover….she pronounced it HOE-ver. So of course, being the smart ass mimic that I can be, I had to repeat this as I’m videotaping what I was more than halfway convinced was a huge mylar balloon.
Well, a few days later, I was finally able to review the video footage. My mouth dropped open.
I mean, deep down, I knew it wasn’t a balloon. That afternoon was quite windy, and it would have moved in several directions and disappeared much more quickly if it were.
I never thought it would happen to me. Here I am writing comedy scripts about ETs coming to earth, and now, I have a UFO on camera?
And of course I have a zillion questions. Is this an optical illusion? Is it one of the experimental craft our government is working on? Is it a natural phenomenon of some kind of magnetics with the sun? Does this have anything to do with chemtrails or Bluebeam? Is it a holographic projection? Is it a TR-3 variation of some kind like one person thought? If it is a craft, is it one of ours or theirs? There are a thousand questions I have….
For the longest time, I thought I was the only one that saw this… Except for maybe the guy yelling with his classmates down the block…”blah blah blah oh my God…a UFO!!”, no one around me stopped to look or notice. In the original sound clips you can hear kids and gates closing in the background…it was a busy Saturday afternoon.
I was somewhat relieved to discover that someone had obviously seen it as well…it was reported!

“I was on vacation in Los Angeles California, a buddy picked me up from the airport we were driving down sunset blvd. to our apartment and I was taking pictures on my I phone for aproximately 10 min. I did not notice the objects untill I was back from vacation!”
(RIGHT at the time I saw and filmed my sighting…)
If anyone has any intelligent intuitive input…please share.
If anyone out there has any ideas on which video software is best to analyze this with...please share. Thanks.

Very interesting sightings. The back and forth and bobbing nature of the ufo is interesting. As far as I am concerned, I would call this a unidentifed flying object. Just my opinion.
