NUFORC Sighting 10196

Occurred: 1999-10-11 04:30 Local
Reported: 1999-10-11 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5min
No of observers: 2

Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Emitted beams

It was a large bright light sitting stationary in the sky. Within our atmosphere. Not a star. It did not move or change shape and was too high to be a helicopter, plus it had no flashing lights on it at all. It was just a very bright light shinning in the sky.

My friend and I were on our way home from a friends house last night when I noticed this light. At first I thought it was just a star but noticed that it was much brighter and closer than a star. We watched it as we were driving in hopes of seeing it move or show indication of being a known aircraft ( flashing lights, movement etc.) but to no avail. As we continued to watch it we began to realize that it seemed to be to high up to be a helicopter but could possibly be a plane. But then again there was no movement or flashing lights. It looked like a star was sitting inside the earths atmosphere. I am reporting this only to add to the possible reports that must have been reported and to hopefully find out what it was.

NUFORC Note:

If the witness was looking to the east, he probably was looking at Venus.
