Circular red object with green flashing light performs dazzling maneuvers over Hollywood.
At approximately 18:00 hours, 6:00P.M. PST local time, I was sitting on my couch in my apartment when I noticed a circular well-lit red object, with a flashing green light beneath it, zip at a very high rate of speed across the horizon from south to north at an extremely accelerated rate. It was at a modest altitude, clearly visible, approximately 3 to 4 miles due West.
It then began a series of aeronautical maneuvers directly over Hollywood Blvd. to the South, and Franklin Avenue to the north. It then returned at that same high rate of speed then stopped in a totally frozen hover above Hollywood itself.
I opened my sliding glass door to my balcony to hear if it made the sound of a helicopter. It made no sound whatsoever, all the while flashing a green light under its carriage. It then accelerated straight up approximately 1000 feet immediately, again at extreme rates of speed, then began a series of ascending and descending aerobatic moves from a dead stop in both horizontal and vertical motions. It in no way acted like a drone, helicopter, small aircraft, or military aircraft. From my perspective it appeared to be the size of a small dirigible but not as large as a blimp. It moved both smoothly, and dramatically quickly, far faster and more dynamic than any other aircraft I have seen. It was able multiple times to stop on a dime and hover silently then accelerate to different altitudes and horizons on a grid. And then quickly accelerated to the West and out of my visual range.
As a previous witness in 1978 of a translucent orbed object over the night sky of Simi Valley, California, I have had previous experience with be unique movement of these craft. My sighting this evening falls into that category. I also know of one other individual who has seen and photographed an unidentified object in this same area a number of years ago, one that she shared with me that I was privy to. Whatever this may have been, I felt it imperative! to report this at once on your site.
Thank you for all the work you do. I will continue to do mine.

Mr Davenport,
I just filled out a report regarding an object I saw over Hollywood this evening. Upon further investigation, it appears there was a large-scale drone show at the same exact time which I was not privy to. My most sincere apologies. I'm extremely embarrassed that I didn't do a full investigation before reporting it on your site. I take great pride in my ability to distinguish these things.
Best wishes. ((name deleted))
