Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Left a trail, Emitted other objects

Bright Red Light hovering above LA

A red light that looked like a flare shot in the sky in the sky near mars moved NW then slowed and stayed stationary for about 5 minutes. There was no wind. There was no sound except for a plane that took off at the nearby Burbank airport.

The light sometimes dimmed then brightened several times.

Finally the light streaked off SE leaving what looked like a fine trail and diminished in intensity quite soon after. It almost seemed like it left an object behind it as it took off but I could be mistaking what was left behind as a star.

NUFORC Note:

Please see second report of apparently the same event from North Hollywood. PD
