Reports Report 4296s (Event 4296-2026)

Observer
Name Steve A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We live on 33rd floor and can see all the way from downtown Los Angeles to the water on clear days. Great views. Clear night except some fog along the coast but didn't interfere with the visibility of the sky since the fog is at the coast, not in the city tonight. Our view is facing SSW and it appeared to go across the city, or left to right from our window, almost as if going from land to water but obviously heading in a downward direction.
