Description

On August of 2018, at approximately 1630H, I was employed at a local government agencies aviation unit within LA County. While on the flight deck, I observed a strange flash of light near the moon. It was common to look at the sky prior to departing the flight deck check for drones, other aircraft or other hazards.

As I conducted firewatch during the start up of the helicopter, I observed the light a second time and much clearer. I began recording the area where I observed the light (to the left of the moon)and inadvertently caught something very strange.

I didn’t see the object while recording but upon reviewing the video that night in search of the initial flash of light, I discovered I caught something else in the footage.

An object, appears to be a round and metallic, passing into frame at an incredible speed then quickly change direction. I’ve screen recorded the video to better show the object.
