It was broad daylight, about 2ish in the afternoon.

My ex boyfriend and I were sitting on the edge of the bluff right next to these old abandoned apartments. (At that time they were unoccupied, I'm not sure if that space is rebuilt now.)

We sat there for about 5 minutes before we both looked up and saw a very large, silver disk shaped aircraft right above our heads. There were multiple colored lights (red, green, orange) on the underside of the craft. It literally looked like a silver ufo out of a movie. The craft also seemed to be hovering in place with no sound. It hovered above us for at least 5 minutes or so. We couldn't believe it stayed there for so long. It then disappeared extremely fast toward the ocean but we couldn't see the path it took. It just disappeared. We immediately got up and ran toward the car and called it in to see if anyone else had seen anything like it. To this day I still remember very clearly what it looked like. I haven't seen anything like it since. This was the second unidentified sighting I have seen in that area.

If anyone else has seen something similar to this, I would be open to talking about it!
