Overview

• Two Los Angeles residents recorded a black, V-shaped object with multiple lights on August 28 and watched it for about 25 minutes before losing sight around 11:38 p.m.
• The witnesses submitted the sighting to the National UFO Reporting Center on August 30, which listed it as the 34th chevron-type report in the U.S. this year.
• Cellphone images and video appear to show nine white lights along the object’s hull as it moved slowly across the night sky.
• NUFORC flagged “Ultralight?” as a possible explanation, referring to small, slow, recreational aircraft such as motorized hang gliders or powered parachutes.
• UFO researcher Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail he believes the object was likely an advanced unmanned drone, noting Southern California’s proximity to facilities like Vandenberg Space Force Base and Edwards Air Force Base.
