Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Triangular, brightly-lit object above Hollywood, Los Angeles. Hovered before increasing altitude rapidly.

My neighbor and I were sitting outside on our balcony having a late-night drink when we both noticed what we initially believed was some kind of drone. It approached the Hollywood area from the North West and flew in a straight line for about 40 seconds. As it came closer, I noticed that it did not have any navigation lights. I do not know how big it was as it was difficult to judge as a bright yellowish light emanated from the object. It then hovered over East Hollywood for about 30 seconds. It then started to increase altitude quite rapidly and within about 15 seconds it could no longer be seen by us. The sky was clear. I have worked with drones and although it appeared to move through the air like one, it definitely did not have navigation lights. I did not hear any noise coming from it but it was difficult to be precise as to how far it was from where we were sitting. The sighting was filmed on an iphone. My neighbor and I are both sane, normal people. I am a 57-year-old man and own a successful TV production company, My neighbor is a professional photographer, aged 45. We had been drinking but were in no way impaired.
