Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Norwalk, CA, USA
Location details: Above city of norwalk

Shape: Cigar

Saw metallic cigar shaped object approximately above Norwalk, Ca sitting stationary for duration of about 30 seconds

Daytime sighting with clear skies. Object looked to be stationary in the skies over Norwalk, ca for the duration of the approximately 30 I was able to keep in view while riding in the back seat of friends car traveling on Hwy 91 east. Object appeared to be metallic and reflected the sun strongly at the end of sighting due to angle of sight. It looked to be cigar shape but not completely uniform. I got a good enough view for a long enough time to realize it was not a plane or blimp due to the irregular shape, metallic finish and the fact that it did not seem to move at all while hovering at approximately 500ft-1000ft above the city. The distance from me was just enough for my eyes to not completely be able to focus and understand exactly what I was looking at but to me it's what I know it wasn't that only leaves an anomaly as a explanation. I believe many others closer could and should easily have long duration of views of this object and I'm curious to see if similar reporting are sent in by any one else that witnessed the same object.
