I'm a photographer and I was on the pier shooting images of sailboats and the kite festival. You can see the UAP in the photo.

As mentioned above, I was taking photos of the kite festival at Redondo and walked to the end of the pier to shoot an array of sailboats. I didn't see the object with my eyes as I was focused on the boats but when processing the photo I saw what appears to be something falling from the sky. It had to be fast to be captured by my camera at a speed of 1/500 of a second. You can easily see the descent and the object with a trail.
