Glowing object in the sky, which sparked with sparks, that moved very unlike an airplane or helicopter.
I was walking my fiance to her car at around midnight on 3/7/01 when she pointed something in the sky and asked: what is that? We were in Santa Monica, CA, aproximatelly 7 blocks from the beach and looked West and saw like a glow in the sky. It was definitelly not an airplane as we know what airplane look like as we have the LAX and SM airports close to us. As a matter of fact, we saw an airplane go by with it's blinking light clearly identifiable. Initially, this object moved back and forth (did not go in a straing line in one direction) for what seemed like a minute. It did not look like a helicopter moving either. All of a sudden it started moving north-west and it even created some sparks (the same as a broken mufler that's dragged on the pavement) and then it disappeard behind the homes in our view. I have never seen anything like this before.
