The light source appeared to drop behind mountains above the Tujunga Canyon area. Duration was at most a few seconds, but it was not a meteor, aircraft, rocket or satellite (I've observed plenty as an amateur stargazer and former aerospace engineer). The light did not blink or create any trail but went incredibly fast. The visibility was very good, and I am far-sighted. I thought it might possibly be an insect lit by ground lights except it looked far away and the intensity did not change noticeably. The direction was toward Edwards AFB, from where I sometimes could hear sonic booms from space shuttle landings. However the light was soundless. Never saw anything like it before or since. |
