I had a close encounter with an unidentified craft over downtown Los Angeles around 1978 or 1979. I saw 4 human in appearance beings .

My husband was driving me to work one day I was on the back of his motorcycle. We were going west on Figueroa St and just crossed Olympic Blvd. I looked to my left at a hotel (Holiday Inn I think) and I saw  what appeared to be a metallic colored disc shaped object shoot up from behind the taller buildings nearby. It got to a height of 100 feet into the air. At this point I told Bob to check out his left near the buildings and he did but he told me he had to keep his eyes on the road so I had to watch it for the 2 blocks it traveled in a straight line occassionally dipping 30 feet. We turned left onto 12th St and then the sun shined on it and I could see inside the ship because it turned transparent. I could see 3 or 4 people inside of which 2 were looking out at me & they were leaning over a console /platform. They looked like 2 handsome ordinary human men. I gave them the peace sign because it seemed fun to do. They didn't respond and showed no emotion other than curiosity. I had to go to work at 1200 N. 12th St. so he dropped me off after I told him to follow it. He lost it about 1/2 a block away. I risked being made fun of once when I called radio station KROQ after they asked their listeners if anyone has ever seen a UFO in Southern California. I don't think they believed me but I was curious if anyone else had seen that craft. I have a copy of my calling KROQ. I don't tell many people because of my fear of ridicule. My husband saw them too but not as clearly as me. He has a pretty good description of it all. It reminded us of a soap bubble where the setting sun shone on it. Where the sun didn't hit it , the craft remained steel gray opaque color. My husband doesn't think it's a good idea to tell anyone but I've been keeping quiet too long because of fear of someone coming around and telling me to keep quiet.
Date is approximate.  We will ask the witness to attempt to reconstruct the precise date.  PD
