afternoon "silver cigar"-UFO hovers near Westwood/UCLA
While traveling easternly (by bus) down Wilshire Boulevard (near the Westwood Blvd. intersection) I looked left (toward the north) and saw a bright, silver "cigar"-UFO hovering perfectly still about a mile away at about hi-rise building height (i.e., twenty-floors up); it was lower than the hills behind it, was as long as my index-finger at arms-length, and had around 5 ball-like serrations with a whitish hue. As the bus moved away from it, the UFO's color changed to an almost imperceptible flat-gray due to the angle of the reflected sun-light; it disappeared after a tree blocked its view (as the bus slowly traveled in traffic) and after other-passengers started noticing it. Within a few minutes, two common-looking helicopters were seen ahead of the bus racing towards the UFO's area (while traveling in a westernly direction). The day was perfect summer-weather: no clouds, blue skies, slight breeze and sunny.
