red lights over Los Angeles at 10:20 pm on 11/13/07

Wow. Just saw something unlike anything I've ever seen.

I live in West Los Angeles - near Pico and Overland/Westside Pavillion. Got into bed around 10:20 with lights out, looked out my front window (I live on top of someone's detached garage) facing east. I see in the sky these odd-shaped red lights that made me think "what is that?"

I watched it for about 5-10 seconds before it went out of view of my window and unfortunately I don't have other windows with a good view and I even went outside but couldn't see in that direction. It was going in a southwest direction.

I see A LOT of planes out my window as a lot come into Santa Monica airport, and I see others traveling to/from LAX. This was going in the direction of LAX so hopefully some other people saw it.

i'm not saying it was an alien space craft, just unlike anything I've ever seen out my window. It had maybe 6-8 small red blinking lights that were widespread - maybe the lenght of 5-6 airplanes that I usually see out the window.

I'm just now thinking maybe it was a blimp, although it seemed to be moving faster than blimps move, but about same speed to a bit faster than a 747 type plane.

That's all I can really think to describe what I saw. It was quick, but thought I'd share and see if anyone else saw it or has an explanation.

Didn't have time or equipment to take a pic/video.

There were definitely other planes nearby in the sky so pilots had to have seen it.
