Orange orb, ascends in the southern L.A. night sky. Disappears then reappears, a faint object in clouds moving west.
Fiery red/orange orb (flare, but not because there was no "tail") ascended in southern sky. Disappeared into night sky, out beyond a star like a television dot of old when you turned it off.
One witness said, "It's still there in the clouds. I'm not taking my eyes off it." I went to get a telescope or binoculars. When I came back out, witness said, "There it is in the clouds." It stopped, sizzled, spiraled down in NWestern sky to a white light. Then appeared in the night clouds like a wafting plastic bag caught in a drift in upper atmosphere, but it moved with purpose. As it traveled west through the clouds, it looked dark and solid; when it came into a little cloud clearing, it looked white like the color of the cloud but had shape. When it moved into another thick patch of cloud it took on the denser color. The shape at the top was bulbous. It didn't jet, it floated but with purpose.
