Two residents managed to capture footage of the object when it appeared above the city back in August.
Exhibiting an unusual black V-shape with two rows of lights illuminating each side, the peculiar object was observed over Los Angeles for a period of 28 minutes from around 11p.m. back on August 28th.
The sighting quickly attracted a great deal of attention after it was submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
"It stayed in the same area for about 25-30 minutes for the first time I saw it," one of the witnesses wrote. "It moved around a little bit but didn't go too far."
"At the end it just flew off in the south direction until I couldn't see it anymore."
Some speculated that the object was some sort of advanced craft, while others dismissed it as little more than a drone - perhaps one used as part of an aerial light show or promotional stunt.
According to UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee, the former is more likely.
"I'm convinced that a lot of famous UFO incidents are basically highly advanced terrestrial technology that is 30 to 40 years ahead of what we think they have," he told Mail Online.
According to NUFORC, there have been several similar sightings over Los Angeles this year.
