Six objects seen by many over Los Angeles in 1949

The event took place on the Crenshaw Blvd.May Co shopping center parking lot on a Saturday morning. I was 8 (9?)  years old.  My mother, father, myself and younger sister entered into the parking lot and noticed people looking up over and beyond the stores.
After parking the car we also looked up and saw six slightly fuzzy bright white oval appearing objects  moving very slowly to our east in a loose formation southward and seemed to be low, perhaps 2 to 4000 ft.
My mother is now 87 years old and has a very clear memory of the event.  I recently talked to her to verify my recollection.  She is of the opinion that the year was 1950 and her description was as I remembered it but she added "they moved soundlessly."  
The weather was clear with sunshine and there wery many people who saw this event, perhaps hundreds.
Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate.  PD
