2000-01-20 - Wilmington, CA - Light

((NUFORC Note: We receive many reports somewhat similar to this one. We assume that many of such reports describe advertising lights.))

I saw three lights come together and then split apart continously for half an hour over southern Los Angeles, California. They were moving at an extreme speed. They were under light clouds.

At 18.00 (6pm pacific standard time),I went out into my back yard to check out the weather and the upcoming lunar eclipse. I went to the back of my yard which is west.

I then noticed in the southwest sky over Wilmington,Harbor City, Lomita, San Pedro, Torrance, CALIFORNIA (which is the southern portion of Los Angeles, California), 3 lights going around in circles, coming together, and then splitting apart.

This went on till 18:30 (6:30 pacific standard time) when they met and then ceased.

During the later part of the half hour they moved to the center portion of the southern sky in widening colescing circles. Then before they stopped they moved back to the southwest, for the last five minutes or so. They moved at extreme speeds in the sky. As quick as you could wave your hands in the sky. Their relative size was a little smaller than the full moon. The three lights seemed to difuse a bit as they reached the outside of their circle before coming together in the middle when they crossed paths again and again. After a half hour of my viewing this they came together and ceased. They seemed like 3 transparent lights,shaped somewhat like manta rays. There was a light cloud cover while this was happening and the objects stayed under this even though the western sky toward the beach was clear with no clouds. I would be interested if other people reported this sighting and would like to be informed if this occurs. If you phone me,leave a message and I will then call you back collect.

Thank you.
