Fixed Lights Above Los Angeles Now 11/12/2010 11:31 PM PST

Compare this photo to the web cam . You will see a huge mountain in the backround.

I also can tell you there are plenty of towers in the hills of los Angeles that have lights that blink and some that dont.

Alright, I'm off, someone figure this out. If it's aliens I've decided to take the day off, if not...I might still take the day off.

I think we can call this case closed. Good find on those images during the day.

It could be a reflection of the city lights maybe, but they look pretty uniform in style so im not quite sure?

Excellent find! So basically everyone has been getting their knickers in a twist over nothing.

Thank you. I assumed i was being ignored because i had found a logical explaination for this. Seems most people just want to hype this up. I was curious at first but decided to investigate further. Lol i still ended up with 20 or so downloaded images of the web cam just in case.

Its difficult to tell if we are really viewing from the exact angle as with the day vs. night picture...but I can say they seem close enough. Those mountains are well....mountains...and they do run across a lot. I'm also pretty sure that the this particular web cam wouldn't be in that direction if there wasn't a pretty view.

Well there ya go! I figured it had to be some sort of fixed light. Thanks for the image!

So wait a minute...

Because there is mountains behind there it is coming from the mountains?

I just think they would have to be high-powered lights to seen from the distance of the camera.

Why are they blinking on and off? Why have they been made a big deal of today if they are a common thing?

Not trying to be an @ss, just wondering.

Can't come in and just say a UFO, we need evidence to prove or disprove any side of the story.

Just kind of loosely based opinion in my books.

Pred...

between images @ 1:09 and 1:12...the middle light seemed to drop down right to the top of a building.....slide show will be allright.

So all of a sudden people see some tower lights that have always been there.Its like going outside and looking up at the moon and saying what the hell is that bright ball in the sky.This is ridiculous.

I agree with the mountain theory as well. Take a 2nd look though, how tall would those towers have to be? The lights look pretty high up compared to the mountains in this picture?!?

Just for an idea of what people are seeing, an hours worth in a gif.

I tried to superimpose the night scene with the day scene and I agree the mountains so appear to be lower than the lights, but I couldn't get it to accurately mesh and decided not to bother as it leaves too much room for error.

But personally, the mountains did appear well under the lights.

The lights are higher in the sky then the tops of those mountains. I need to see a daylight shot from the same perspective to really be able to tell.

LOL yeah i tried to do the same. Nice time lapse!! Good work!

They are very bright. I had forgotten about them because i havent been in cali for almost 20 years. There is also mount wilson. I just dont remember what mountain you would stand on to get that view of the city.

I agree, as I said in my post above yours!

I wish the site had an archive of the images, that would make things easier..

Because they are build on top of the mountain, not on the sides.
