2022-03-16 - Los Angeles, CA - Triangle

Dark, apparently triangular craft, no visible tail against dark sky, bring central light with lights at each point flashing in sequence, one at a time, in a clockwise rotation. The light from the preceding flash was still dimming as each new flash started. Center light was constant. The center light may have been a different color than the point lights, but I'm having a hard time remembering that detail. My recollection was that the center light was warm white and that the point lights were somewhat cooler white. Flight path was straight west and relatively slow for an aircraft at its apparent altitude, speed was consistent. The object was apparently relatively low, but well above the highest points of Elysian Park (so, at least 1000 feet, and I was never directly below it). The object was already east of me when I saw it, flying over the area of Dodger Stadium, due east (approx.) toward the San Bernardino mountains. I watched for approx. 2 minutes until it passed behind a nearby hill, obstructing my view. There was no sound that I could associate with the craft. I did not have a clear reference for the size of the craft, and only the lights were clearly visible. I'm not a trained aircraft observer, but I am not familiar with an aircraft with this lighting configuration. This is a busy area for commercial aircraft of all varieties and there were other aircraft in the sky at the same time. At virtually any given time, I can see an airliner, a private plane, or a helicopter in the sky from this neighborhood, and I had observed at least one airline jet in the minutes prior. Those clearly fly at a much higher altitude. The object I sighted was flying at more of a helicopter altitude (again, apparently). A helicopter at that location, in these viewing conditions (ambient sound level) would have been clearly audible. If the object was a plane at a higher altitude than it appeared, It may not have been audible under normal conditions. I often watch the sky when I walk at night. I have never seen or reported a UFO prior to this report. I did not take photos. It occurred to me that at that distance and lighting contrast they would not have captured much—at the time it did not occur to me to make a report.
