silver sphere over refinery by LAX
At approximately 12 noon, on or about 3 March, 2002 I saw a silver, spherical object (looked like a giant ball of tinfoil) floating over the El Segundo Refinery. The airspace over the refinery is restricted. The object hovered at approx. 1000ft and was about the size of a minivan, and was being buffeted by the 10-15mph wind blowing from the Northeast to the Southwest.(The wind normally blows from West to East). The object slowly floated up in a northern direction but generally remained over the refinery and south El Segundo, California. If it was a balloon of any type, the wind would have blown it out over the ocean. As it floated out of sight, the shape seemed to waiver(did not maintain a distinct shperical shape)
