National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 9/17/2015 19:40 (Entered as : 9/17/2015 19:40) Reported: 9/19/2015 7:44:21 AM 07:44 Posted: 9/25/2015 Location: Los Angeles, CA Shape: Circle Duration: 1 second
Approximately in the NW direction from the front of my house at approximately 30 degrees elevation, I saw a single large (much larger than passenger jet lights) bright white disc appear, and then disappear as though being occulted. I looked in the same vicinity the following night to see if there were a large star in that area again, and there was not. For reference, a star about the magnitude of Venus was directly overhead at that time. Please tell me the name of that star. Thank you.
