I was at the Newport Beach getting on the Newport freeway from Newport Blvd. Just as I was getting on the freeway, in a lot of traffic, I saw to my left ahead of me a 20' long cigar shaped object. It was about 70 feet from me, and about 40 feet high. It traveled northward at about 3 mph. It had what looked like molten lava all over it. It had no visible doors or windows. When it flew to my far left trees obstructed my view of it that I permanently lost sight of it.
