Full Description of Event/Sighting: Well I usually am not the type to go online and Google UFO sightings, but after what I saw I just had to. I had gone to the balcony of my 3 story apartment to smoke a cigarette. Around 3:00am I'm looking up to the sky just observing the stars when all of a sudden I see like a round shaped object flying over South Los Angeles going south.

At first I'm thinking it’s a bird, but the object was too far high and too big for it to have been a bird of any sort. As its approaching right above me going south, I thought it was a balloon because of how it was shaped, but it was going too fast for it to have been a balloon. I've seen balloons in the air before and they've gone nowhere near this fast and it was not windy at the time.

It couldn't have been a plane because it had no lights, none. So I am just staring at it as its moving with my jaw dropping and eyes wide opened. I try to keep up with the object, but as its getting further. I lose sight of it. I wanted to get my camera, but it was just to high up and was afraid I was going to lose sight of it by the time I came back out.

Since it had no lights, I doubt it would have been visible to the cam. I just want to know if its a possibility that it was an aircraft with no lights? I live near LAX, so I know how planes look and this looked nothing like a aircraft. It was traveling too fast. Could it have been a military aircraft? Because what I saw was really high in altitude and real fast. I even woke up my family here. I would really appreciate a reply to what it may have been, because now I can't go to sleep because I'm not sure what it was. Please email back.thank you.
