Dark grey triangular object cruising slowly north over Santa Monica making loud engine noise
I was outside walking east on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica (near Los Angeles) and saw and heard a flat triangular object that was dark gray heading north. It was making a loud engine noise. It was not going very fast, kind of cruising. I thought it looked strange, but not so strange that it was beyond human technology. It was my impression that it was some sort of plane created by man.
Another person was walking toward me, and he had seen it too, and joked to me that it must have been a stealth plane. If I held a baseball at arm's length, that is about the size of what I saw.
Even though I thought it was strange, I wouldn't assume it was a UFO. But then I heard this object mentioned on the Jeff Rense show, and Peter Davenport and Jeff requested witnesses to describe it, so I have done so.

Dear Mr. Davenport,
Thank you so very much for all that you do to help our global community. I have been a regular to your site for some time now and this is my first time posting a report. However, what I saw and confirmed on April 12th, 2005 forced me to share this with the center in the hopes it will added to the database as a footnote.
Currently the database has 2 reports of a flying triangle over the Los Angeles and Santa Monica area on April 12th at approx. 13:00 (1 o'clock p.m.) What our 2 witnesses were observing was the B-2 Stealth Bomber performing a low altitude fly-by of Dodger Stadium for the opening day ceremonies. I observed the B-2 at approx. 13:07 from my backyard as it headed west towards Santa Monica at very low altitude approx. 700 to 900 ft. , roughly the same altitude as LAPD helicopters, and bank towards the north Santa Monica Mountains. I tried to get a shot of this amazing airplane with my cell phone camera but I was too slow. What caught my attention was the engine noise. Nothing like I've ever heard before. My next door neighbor also witnessed the fly-by. I live in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, roughly half way between the witness in downtown and the witness to my west in Santa Monica.
Quote from the Los Angeles Times 4/13/05
"The largest crowd ever at Dodger Stadium - 55,892 - barely had time to settle after watching the obligatory B-2 stealth bomber roar past when low-flying projectiles began doing damage. Starter Jeff Weaver gave up 11 hits and eight runs before being pulled after a Pedro Feliz homer."
An airshow message board also noted the B-2 fly-by for the Dodgers opener, and noted there will be another on Memorial Day May 30th, 2005. Let's see how many reports come in that day.
Sincerely,
