In the evening or tha~ same day numerous other reports were received from the same locality and nearby. At 9:55 p.m., from Downey (about 40 miles southeast or Oxnard), of Pasadena reported seeing a silent "bri~ht red object" in the At about 11:00, reports began to come in from Pasadena. Hundreds of people alonet Colorado Street stared into the sky at an object.
