Chevron shaped black object flying low ans slow with no sound and appeard to have been pursued by 3 navy planes.

Observer: Education - doctorate level. Respected professional in education.

Event: Happened near Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station. driving S. on Lewis Rd., note 3 planes flying low along foothills of Santat Monica Mts. Assumed they were Navy planes but were not like F-15's... Had more standard olane shape un terms of wings, tail, etc. They were flying west then veered around mts. to south and went out of sight. Thought nothing of it other than, "cool", a free air show, like the Blue Angels or something. Then, looked to my left (east), and saw a large, low flying chevron shaped craft... black. Moving slow. Thought "Stealth Bomber. Because of low altitude and its distance, got a straight on view. It appears completely flat on top, not cockpit like a stealth bomber. It flew overhead. No sound, but I was driving, so maybe I just couldn't hear it. Could pull over (no shoulder), so turned off as soon as I could and parked and looked towards where it had been heading. Nothing was there. It had been flying E to W in about a 90 degree angle to Lewis Rd. Assume it was some aircraft I was not familiar with but....?

NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate, apparently, even though the event allegedly had occurred just four days earlier. PD
