Spotted high above the Santa Monica airport on the 4th of July during a bbq. 7:45pm. I was facing North-ish. Thoughts?

    It’s a bummer that the video quality went down when I uploaded it here. The three lights are more stable and defined in the video on my phone.

    Hi, thanks for your contribution. It looks like you’ve included your submission statement directly in your post, which is fine, but it is too short (min 150 chars).

    You can either edit your post’s text to >150 chars, or include a comment-based ss instead (which I would post shortly, if it meets submission statement requirements).
    Please message the moderators if you feel this was an error. Responses to this comment are not monitored.

    Can anyone tell me how I can edit my post to meet the moderators’ 150 character requirement? When I clicked the three dots there is no “edit post” option.

  4. Yesterday I was in arleta and my friend pointed out 4 lights which didn’t look like everything else around lol… of course I was already looking at it tripping… his gf looks at it and mentions yeah that’s different forsure. There was four lights maybe two jets or something ? Or one whole structure ? Was kind of far away was still and moved over time changing its formation. Not sure what it was.

    Video isn’t loading atm for me since I’m out but I was wondering if anyone had some videos I didn’t try filming because I rather see it in person it was visible for minutes as it went further and further.

    Submission Statement (ss):

    I’m still new to posting here so please forgive my lack of decorum.

    Celebrating the 4th of July with a bbq near the Santa Monica airport. I’m quite used to planes of all sizes flying in and out of that airport, mainly small Cessna-style. LAX is also nearby, and I’m no stranger to aviation and sky watching. I looked up and noticed the formation lights that almost resembled a plane, but they seemed far too high in the sky. With my phone’s zoom, I was able to see on my screen that they were three separate lights, devoid of any real structure, other than triangle, naturally. Moving silently, smoothly, and heading towards the North. the light shortly thereafter faded.
