Bright light moving quickly over Los Angeles, CA
The skies were a bit hazy and you could only see very bright stars and planets. I had just finished parking my car in my garage and was walking around the corner to my apartment building when I looked up and saw a very bright object emerge from behind a tree moving west to east. It was too low to be a satellite (about 249 miles too low!) and had no strobe or wing lights. It made no sound as it passed overhead. About 10 seconds after I sighted the object it got a bit dimmer. I figured that it had passed behind some of the haze. This meant the object was probably around 5,000 to 10,000 feet. I continued to watch the object until it was out of sight. The whole sighting took about 8 to 10 minutes.
