| Description | On May 15, 2013, in Hermosa Beach, CA, a witness observed three white lights, initially mistaken for airplanes, merge into one larger yellowish/orange light. This object pulsated, then moved erratically across the sky, covering over 100 miles in seconds, before stopping and hovering over Santa Monica Bay. After a few seconds of pulsating, it darted straight up into space and disappeared. The witness felt this experience was evidence of intelligent life beyond Earth or possibly advanced US technology. |
