Reported: 1999-12-26 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 MINUTES
No of observers: 1

Location: Gramercy (on Hwy. 61), LA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I SAW A TRIANGULAR SHAPED OBJECT WHICH TRAVERSED THE SKY WEST TO EAST. IT HAD SEVEN BRIGHT LIGHTS ARRANGED IN A TRIANGLE OF THREE FORWARD AND FOUR IN A CLOSE SQUARE BEHIND.

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 61 BETWEEN GRAMERCY AND SORRENTO LA., I SAW BRIGHT LIGHTS OFF TO MY LEFT AT ABOUT 40 DEGREES FROM THE HORIZON. IT APPEARED TO BE STATIONARY. AS I DROVE ON I REALISED THAT IT WAS MOVING SLOWLY ACROSS MY PATH. WE MOVED TOGETHER UNTIL THE OBJECT WAS ALMOST DIRECTLY ABOVE ME. AT THIS POINT A SHAPE BECAME APPARENT, IT WAS CLEARLY ONE OBJECT IN THE SHAPE OF A TRIANGLE. I SAW ONLY THE BRIGHT WHITE LIGHTS, THERE WERE NO FLASHING LIGHTS AT ALL. I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE. THE LIGHTS APPEARED TO ME TO BE A WARM WHITE, MAYBE ON THE ORDER OF 20 TO 28K KELVIN.
