Synopsis: On 06 Jan 12, at 1830 hours, the witness of this investigation was driving through Los Angeles, CA and saw a UFO fly over the city. The witness used a cellphone to record a video of the UFO.
Evidence Submitted: A Video of the UFO.
Initial Action: This UFO case was opened as an FB1 – A fly-by of a UFO traveling in a straight line across the sky. Initial analysis of the video indicated the object was a helium balloon.
Investigation and Findings: The investigators interview the witness of this investigation to ensure the video was authentic. An analysis of the video appears to show a helium balloon flying with the wind. A super zoom of the video, moreover, clearly showed a string attached to the bottom of the helium balloon. The case was closed as resolved and identified.
