On both nights between 11:15 PM and midnight, witnesses reported a brilliant red light moving slowly and silently westward to eastward along Sunset Boulevard. The object remained stationary for 5-10 minute intervals. On the second night, witnesses reported a loud explosion with a bluish-white flash directed downward and westward, followed by a mushroom-shaped white cloud exhibiting pink, blue, and purple hues. At the explosion's moment, an aluminum-colored tubular object shot upward while a smaller object spiraled downward. Some witnesses reported a peculiar odor.
