I waked out to walk the dog at 9pm in Topanga. I normally glance at the night sky. I looked north towards the valley. In the sky what i thought were stars seemed odd. They were brighter than stars. They were slowly moving around each other like bumper cars. Then slowly branched out into a ?...literally lined up in that formation. Held that position maybe 1 minute. The group then slowly broke apart and slowly grouped..and then headed south towards coast over Topanga. Really really high. Airline path is directly below from LAX. These star like things bounce around in a group...like birds swooping in and out...in all directions... but would return to pod... It seem to vanish over the horizon but it vanished in a flash.When I first saw it I ran into get my wife so I wasnt the only one. There were local teens hanging out near Edleman Park on near Henry Ridge at the time too. Tried to take video but couldn't pick objects up. Wife is totally stunned with what she saw too. So far I havent heard if anyone else saw the lights. Weird.
