Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: El Segundo, CA, USA

Shape: Other


I saw a pitch-black flying wing shaped object soar across a brightly lit area, and then vanish into the dark.

I was in a vehicle heading south on Sepulveda Boulevard when we stopped at a red light. I was in the passenger seat and I looked up at the brilliantly lit skyscrapers on the next block. It was then that I observed a pitch black flying wing shaped object swoop across my field of vision.

It emitted no lights and was moving quite rapidly into a headwind. I did not see it long enough to get a size but it was approximately forty to fifty feet off the ground and it crossed a sixty foot space in less than three seconds. It was only visible for a couple of seconds before it vanished into the night sky. It was so black as to be completely invisible once it was no longer silhouetted against the building.

Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: El Segundo, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

At approximately 7:10 PM I had a sighting of an Invisible Silent Aircraft (UFO) over LAX on 15 Oct 2014. It had two white flashing lights (NO red lights like all other aircraft in area had) the distance of approx.. 300 ft. between them. I could compare it to the size of the 747 aircraft –which I could plainly see (with the airline paint color scheme too) - taking off beneath it. The flashing lights were at first just hovering over the airport runway (just west of the control tower) at a height of 1000 Ft, with the aircraft landing and taking off beneath it. I at first thought it was a couple of police or news helicopters there, until I saw that there was NO RED flashing lights that all aircraft are supposed to have. Then the lights started to slowly move; one behind the other; in a eastern direction to where Sepulveda Blvd. goes under the runway thru the tunnel. Then they moved in parallel to each other, and flew south over Sepulveda Blvd. at about! 100 ft. until it was near the intersection of Rosecrans. There was NO SOUND; there was NOTHING VISIBLE between the lights; but I could plainly see that the lights were fixed to a solid object. At that point it continued to slowly move; one light behind the other; in a eastern direction again until I could not distinguish it among the line of aircraft lined up to land at LAX.

Floating Orb over LAX

I got up early this morning to search for the comet Lulin in the direction of Virgo and Leo. As I pointed my binoculars directly to the ocean, West, I saw what appeared to be a white light moving steadily north. As it got closer, it got my attention, because it had no strobelight. It flew over the Los Angeles Airport and I was able to keep an eye on it for approximately 2 minutes till it faded north into sky.

I have seen planes in the area and have become accustomed to see them. This was not a plane. It was either a satellite, but it appeared too low and too close to be one or something unusual.

Rotating fire ball moving very fast, few hundred feet above the ground, south east end of LAX

I had just made the transistion fron the 405 freeway south to the 105 freeway heading west. Off to my left (south east end of LAX)I watched what looked like a fast rotating fireball, a few hundred feet above the ground as I did not have to look up to see it. It seem to disappear, maybe behind buildings. It could have be the size of a helicopter, It was burning,rotating fire streams then it was gone. When I mentioned to my husband, ((name deleted)), he said he saw the fireball pass over our home and disappear behind the rooftops. We reported this separate

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Changed Colo

High speed ball follows jet, and becomes two smaller objects.

I observed a lear jet, approx 3-5000 feet and climbing,traveling southwest probably out of Hawthorne airport. I then saw a black ball about 1/3 the size of the jet approach at a very high speed from the east. I thought I was seeing a missle heading for the jet. Then the object stopped, and began following the jet ! At that point I said to my friend, "what the hell is that"? He replied, a UFO! The object followed the jet for about 5 seconds, then the object split into 2 objects!(Horizontally or left and right) These objects were half the size of the original ball, and looked either white or metallic, as they now looked to have the same reflectivity as the jet. We watched these two smaller spheres follow the jet for approx. 5 more seconds until the three objects traveled out of our range of sight.

Shape: Triangle


Bright shiny triangular object droped from the sky then vanished

Driving east on ElSegundo Blvd directly in front at about 10:00 elevation at an estimated distance of a mile or two, a bright shiny triangular object dove from the sky like a shooting star then vanished. The size seemed to appear about almost 2 times the size of a commercial jetliner in the distance.

The object was viewed by myself and a passenger. I am an Aerospace engineer that works in the area.

silver sphere over refinery by LAX

At approximately 12 noon, on or about 3 March, 2002 I saw a silver, spherical object (looked like a giant ball of tinfoil) floating over the El Segundo Refinery. The airspace over the refinery is restricted. The object hovered at approx. 1000ft and was about the size of a minivan, and was being buffeted by the 10-15mph wind blowing from the Northeast to the Southwest.(The wind normally blows from West to East). The object slowly floated up in a northern direction but generally remained over the refinery and south El Segundo, California. If it was a balloon of any type, the wind would have blown it out over the ocean. As it floated out of sight, the shape seemed to waiver(did not maintain a distinct shperical shape)

What I'm seeing, please help.

I live in El Segundo, Ca.. I live on the very Westside of my town. Where I live my backyard ends and a sand dune begins for about a football size then starts Hyperion station begins then you’re at the beach.

I’m a night owl in bed by 4am. To the south of me is a Chevron refinery and to the north of me is LAX Airport. For about 20 years or so I’ve seen odd lights in the sand dunes, i.e. (transparent shapes of crafts with lights on top or bottom or the sides or in the middle. The lights are always dim. ). This happens in all kinds of weather I thought it might be reflex ion from planes taking off or landing or maybe flying over real high but they should change but they don’t. I don’t have any great cameras that can take black night pictures so I don’t have pictures of them. The oddness is I have sat in my back yard for 5 mins. To 1 hour. And odd things happen. In that time have gotten up made myself a cup of tea and have come back and they are still there but if I go 2 house down to a gate to get into the dune they are gone and when I go back home they are still gone.

Can they know I’m watching but don’t want me to get to close? Please can you tell me what I’m seeing?
