SIGHTING: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was in my backyard building a wooden bench when i looked to my right for some reason and immediately saw a white ballon like orb floating in the sky. i initially thought it was a balloon but it was at a good distance away and would have to have been a very large balloon. because of the size i took my phone out and started to film. it remains somewhat stationary in the sky for a few minutes and then starts to move in a southwestern direction toward the sun. my neck was getting sore from filming and i had to lay down on the ground to film it because it was there for so long. in some of the video it appears that an emission comes from the bottom of it as it starts to move. almost like a small thruster or something. in one of the videos (img_0506) at the 19-20 second mark you'll see an insect from the top to the bottom of the screen. right after. you'll see the clouds on the left side of the orb flash in very specific areas. this might be another bug flying by and being filmed at the exact same frame rate and lighting up these two specific places on the film. it's strange in either event. i wish i had some sort of steadying software as the clouds and my camera are moving so much that it's hard to tell how direct of a path the object is flying. not sure if it's a straight or jagged flight pattern. it became harder to see as it flew toward the sun and i eventually lost it. didn't seem threatened by it or anything. but i was surprised that i even saw it and not sure why i looked in that direction in the first place. when i saw it the first thing to pop in my head was "how the hell did i see that?!" my eyes are not the best.
