Witness account

Narrative

Date: August 18, 2022 Time: 3:30pm Location: Lakewood CA On August 18, 2022, I recorded a strange tubular UFO with a single orb beneath it, resembling the mysterious “sky snake” or EBANI objects often reported in Mexico. Inspired by sightings documented by Jonathan Castro in East Los Angeles, this moment came after more than four years of meditation and focused intention to witness the phenomenon submitted by /u/ufo_videographer_456
