UFO Lights Seen Over Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks Skies

Check out the videos and photos seen in the skies on Feb. 24 and later.

Three orbs were seen in the skies in Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys three different times since Feb. 24. 

The Mutual UFO Network, MUFON, opened a case on the sighting (MUFON Case: 45954). Steve Murrillo, the chief investigator of the Greater Los Angeles MUFON, said that a lot of sightings in the Studio City and San Fernando Valley areas have been attributed to Chinese lanterns lit off during holiday seasons.

See some of the reports below, and footage.

Real UFOs also collected the information.

The filmers comments include:

 I was in a parking lot across the street from Burger King eating some food. About 20 mins before I started eating, I was driving, left work listening to the radio when I heard a report on kfi-am640 about calls coming in about lights in the sky, then I heard something about a meteor shower. When I saw the lights in the sky I assumed they were meteors. Thats when I noticed they were moving slow. I grabbed my phone and began recording. There were 3 (looked like) orbs that were a glowing red/ orange. In the video there are 4 lights that appear. The light on the far left is a star. I thought I could use it as a reference. Thats when one of the orbs began disappearing. Then another faded away when I heard a helicopter and looked up and saw another red glowing light. The 4th one then disappeared about 2 mins later. I stayed in the same place for another 10 mins or so looking up but I didnt see anything after that.

This report is filed at MUFON.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
