At approx 5:48 pm on sunday 12/18/2016 , sun valley ca. i observed a ufo, very bright white light/orb approx 2000-3000 ft over the verdugo mt coming from the north shadow hills area and heading south towards glendale ca. the object deemed and appeared to slowly veare direction towards the south/east once it was over glendale/eagle rock. the object was as bright and large as venus is in the south/west. the sighting lasted approx 2-3 min. i had time to run in and grab my telescope meade etx90 and get it sighted in just in front of the object with the finderscope and get a good look at it thru the telescope. it was a very bright white oval/disk shaped object. with no sound heard and no blinking lights or any visible structure noted thru the brightness of the light other then the oval/disk shape. i called a friend (eric) who lives south of me in atwater and he and another friend also viewed the ufo.
