I work for a comany near LAX. This morning one of the mangers came out of his corner office overlooking LAX and told me to "come here, quick". He pointed towards the sky and I could see a small black dot against the clouds. He said I just saw this thing come from about 20 feet over the runway at LAX and ascend to where it is now at about 1000 feet. He said when it was over the runway it was about the size of a large truck because it could be seen in the context of the objects on the ground..

He had binoculars, and when I looked through them I could see what looked like a metalic object that was moving slightly, but hovering at around 1000 feet. It looked like a metal tube at one point, but then appeared to change orientation and at that point it looked like a disk shape with lights around the perimiter. The lights appeared to flash. Then the objust appeared to rotate and lights were shooting out from the midline of the object where they had been in a rotational pattern before. The object hovered there for about 20 minutes, staying just below the cloud level before we lost sight of it.

We got pictures and will have those tomorrow.

Note: this is the second time we have seen this, but first time we didn't have binoculars. Three of us saw it and saw the same thing. This is no joke or b.s.

Thanks
