MY UFO EXPERIENCE: UFO Taped Over Topanga Canyon!

UFO Over Topanga Canyon Still From Video

My wife, four year old child and I were swimming in our pool in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, yesterday (Saturday July 26 2008) around 4:30-4:45pm when we noticed a large very shiny silver object hovering in one position in the sky to the east of us (from Topanga), possibly over Santa Monica.

It was really strange. We are very familiar with helicopters flying directly overhead in Topanga and planes from LAX, but this was neither. It definitely wasn't a conventional plane or helicopter or blimp (we've seen the Goodyear blimp plenty of times in various places).

I thought it might be a hot air balloon at first, but it appeared to be more of an X shape that rotated, as if a plane with four wings forming a cross were slowly rotating in one position in the sky. It was also larger than I first thought, because we looked at it through binoculars (8x25W; not very powerful), and whereas when we look at planes through those you can see detail, with this it was too far away.

It stayed in roughly the same spot for about 30 minutes, rotating in one place, and we took some video, but it was too far away to be really clear. It was so silver and shiny that I thought it might have lights, but the sun was also really bright, so it may just have been reflecting that. It definitely maneuvered in an unusual way and was able to stay in the same spot. And then, after about 30 minutes of this, it moved off traveling at about the speed of a plane (which again suggests it couldn't have been a hot air balloon) to the south/south-east.

The only possible explanation I could come up with was that it was some kind of promotional stunt, possibly for the X-Files movie, which opened this weekend. It might have been flying over Santa Monica Beach, but even then it seemed too large and too unusual (and too expensive) for a promotional stunt - and if it was a promotion, it didn't achieve any publicity to my knowledge. Also it would have had to be some kind of rotating X towed by a plane, and we could see no evidence of any other craft nearby towing it. Plus the fact that it stayed in one place for so long is almost impossible to achieve with anything other than a helicopter or hot air balloon, I believe, and neither can rotate the way this was rotating.

We called our local NBC TV news department and emailed them our video, but we haven't heard back from them and I can find no other reports of the sighting, which is strange when it was so large and was in broad daylight on a very sunny Saturday afternoon.

I want to contact the folks who uploaded this video. My girl and I saw the same thing and we have footage here:

Fred the Green Alien said...: Wow. That's very interesting footage... We produced a show about a couple who recently were faced by a bright light in the night sky in Moorpark (which for those not from California, the two communities are fairly close). I wonder if this the same UFO??? We didn't have great actual footage for our Moorpark Lights story, but, it's an interesting coincidence to say the least. What a great post!; 10:30 PM
naut said...: Wow... I just completed writing my UFO experience in UFO Hunters discussion board about what I saw over the Santa Monica mountains. Then when I wanted to know the author of the book that I discovered recently about UFO's over Topanga Cyn, I stumbled upon your video. Clearly it wasn't the same thing, but it could've been at night time with about 5 more of those orbs in the sky. This is a strange coincidence how much activity happens in this part of LA.

This was my post earlier:

Sup guys!

I just watched ufo hunters and decided to check out the site. What catches my eye are ufo lights especially when they have triangle formations. Well here's my story...

Its been awhile, but i believe this event happened around 2000-2001.

On this night, I was hanging out with my two friends T and V in Canoga Park, which is in the northwest section of LA. We left T's house and walked 3 houses down to my friend V's house. While V went inside his house to get something, T and I were just talking in front at the end of his culdesac. Moments later, we looked up facing south towards the 101 freeway and saw a strange bright pin-point light in the night sky. I was just bewildered at what we were witnessing.

These lights first appeared one by one making no sound at a very close distance. It morphed into two, then to a total of six lights in a straight line formation spanning a couple blocks. Then the lights formed into two sets of 3 in triangle formations with 1 light on top and 2 on bottom of each set. The two sets of lights started to rotate its position like it was two separate objects. It rotated left so that 2 lights were on top instead of 1, it rotated back, it came back together to form a straight line, and again began to repeat itself. As this went on for about what seemed two minutes, it slowly started to fade one by one. As we just stand there in a trance, 3 lights remained silent in the original triangle formation. Seconds later, I hear coming from a distance, a helicopter appeared in the same form and faded out the lights like it was the helicopter the whole time. It then flew above us and out of sight.

During the whole entire event, I did not speak to my friend T. After the helicopter started to get closer, we came out of a trance like state and just looked at each other in disbelief and started to speak boisterously about it. My friend V who was on his way out said he heard the commotion we were making. We told him what happened and he questioned it, but he believes that we did see something that night. I'm so glad I wasn't alone!

When I got home, I looked what I saw up online, but i couldn't find anything. I started to carry a camera with me all the time. A year or so later I looked it up again and found something similar and started to really believe it was occurring all over. I recently discovered a book by Preston Dennett called "UFO's over Topanga Canyon," which is exactly where I would think where the lights were coming from, but I have not read it (that kinda tripped me out.) Until this day, I've heard of numerous accounts on these sightings. I still look for similar sightings on the web especially when it airs on tv. It brings back memories, and I always get shivers down my spine when I see similar sightings.

I just hope someone from LA, or more specifically the San Fernando Valley reads this and can validate what I saw above the southern hills of the SFV.; 11:30 PM
