Great Ball of Fire!: Other Balls of Fire I



In my effort to find other UFO fireballs (Please refer to my first article in this series, called Great Ball of Fire) in the Whittier Narrows and surrounding area, I was stunned to find so many UFO sightings in the area—almost every month going back at least five years. What’s even more stunning; the large amount of UFO fireball sightings. It’s staggering to think, these accounts are mostly from regular people reporting to Law Enforcement, so there must be many more UFO sightings not reported. Case-in-point: we never reported our fireball to the police. For the sake of brevity I’ve selected only those accounts that most closely resembled our sighting. Also, sightings that were clearly meteors were excluded.
It’s fascinating to hear other people’s sightings. Some are scant and others rich in detail. The first one wasn’t even a month ago!

Consider!

Location: El Monte/Monterey Park (between), CA
Shape: Teardrop
Duration: 1 minute
Gray oval teardrop shaped craft flying over LA County
I was riding on the Metro link from San Bernardino to the Cal State LA station, seated on the side of the train looking south. Listening to music and watching the scenery pass by I looked up to the sky at about a 35 to 45 degree angle and saw what at first I took to be an airliner that was traveling east to west.I quickly realized that the shape was not right and that it was not a more whitish color. It had more of a gray metallic look, and there seemed to be no wings. This happened rather fast and when I wanted to try to study it more the train passed a few buildings that blocked my view, and when the train passed the buildings, it was gone.
