August 10th, 2012 at 12: 20 AM. I was driving north along the El Camino College campus road when I stopped at a stop sign.
I was staring up at the sky in the west when I saw what looked like a star but was moving at the speed of a commercial airliner. It’s flight pattern was at an angle and was heading from south to north.
When it reached a certain height it’s white light went out but seemed to flicker like a dying bulb before doing so. It then changed direction. From south to north to east. This time flying at a level plane.
I saw that it was headed in my direction so I waited till it was above me. When it was overhead of me it was far away but I was able to see that it looked like a grey bubble or blob that was spinning like a saucer.
All this time Ive been stopped at the stop sign though no signs of any auto failure. The nearest cross street was Marine Ave and I facing North on Crenshaw Blvd. It was also a very clear night sky. The moon was also very visible in the east side of the sky. I believe it was a Third Quarter moon. I didn’t see any one else around who might have been staring at this also.
It continued to fly East. I would have stayed out longer than I did to watch it but I was in a hurry.
Definitely one of those moments where a good camera and some photography skills would have been great to have.
Thanks, hope this helps.
