Occurred: 2025-01-10 21:45 Local
Reported: 2025-01-11 09:51 Pacific
Duration: 5 min.
No of observers: 2

Location: Lomita, CA, USA
Location details: flying at approximately 20,000 ft. altitude, directly South over Palos Verdes or the ocean

Shape: Orb
Color: green/red lights
Estimated Size: size of a transport plane, C5
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: moon was at 80 degrees, craft at about 55 degrees
Angle of Elevation: 56
Closest Distance: 50 miles maybe
Estimated Speed: circular movements at mach 3 +
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

Craft flying from side-to-side and in circles, similar to a video game, uncharacteristic flying type movements

Large craft, green/red flashing lights, 20,000 ft altitude, making erratic movements at high rate of speed, no conventional aircraft is capable of these movements. Craft looked to be 50 or more miles from me, hard to tell. From the naked eye, it looked large and unmoving, with lights flashing from green to red. However, in the video, it was moving quickly in a circular type of movement. I assume it was large given the distance from me, and the ease at which I could see it. I have seen passenger airliners fly in that general vicinity, taking off from LAX to fly toward the east coast, and this craft looked quite a bit large than those airliners, although the lights could have been brighter which could cause it to appear bigger. Event lasted for about 15 minutes, however video is short. I watched it descend to 1000 ft from it's top altitude in less than 2 seconds, and that's when I knew it wasn't a conventional craft.

Craft flying from side-to-side and in circles, similar to a video game, uncharacteristic flying type movements

20,000 ft. altitude, hovering and moving in circular motions, green to red flashing lights, diamond shape, have never seen anything like it before. Witnessed by myself and my wife. Wife made a video of it. I witnessed it flying for 15 minutes, it would be visible for 5 minutes, then disappear, and then 2 minutes later re-appear in the same spot. However, the first time I saw it, it dropped from 20,000 ft altitude to 1,000 ft in less than 1.5 seconds, far exceeding terminal velocity of something falling out of the sky. Then 2 minutes later, it was back at its 20,000 ft altitude, flying erratically again.

Strange ball of light.

My son saw it first. Large ball of light that pulsed as it moved across the sky. Greenish blue in color.

It went out all at once, but there was a bluish glow in the sky for several minutes after.

I was standing in my backyard looking at the stars when i noticed a sphere shape with small wings move across the sky then disappear

object flew from south east to north west then disappeared. It was a sphere with small wings on each side. It did not have any lights. It was a very light gray color.

The object made no sound. It seemed to move much faster than an airplane but slow enough for me to watch it.

Silent disk in afternoon daylight with over twenty witnesses

I was about 15 at the time, it was in the early afternoon and alot of teenagers and other adults used to hang out on the our street after school. We were all talking when someone shouted "What is that? We all looked towards the west. The major streets were Pacific Coast Highway and Cypress in Southwestern Lomita. To the west is PCH and Crenshaw Blvd in Torrance. The craft was a disk about fifty feet across and was traveling from west to east towards Los Angeles harbor. It made no sound and had no lights. It was traveling very slow, maybe 10 mph. it was approxiamately 500 feet away at an altitude of 100 feet. Everyone started running up the street and watched it cross over the small foothills of Palos Verdes and continue traveling east. It was an incredible sighting with alot of witnesses. A few days later at the store i overheard other local residences talking about it.Torrance airport is less than a mile away and very busy. The tower had to have seen this thing.
