Voice Post - Nearest thing to a UFO?

Interestly enough, it did turn out to be a kite; when I got on the bus, I lost my frame of reference and couldn't find it in the sky until half a mile down the road, south of the 22. We finally drew even with it three-quarters of a mile south of where I'd first seen it; its black shape finally, barely, discernable as triangular delta. It was still visible an equal distance south, about 30 degrees above horizontal; when we stopped for a few minutes south of Garden Grove Blvd., it suddenly began descending in a fairly straight line. By the time the bus took off again it had disappeared behind tree level.

The thing was high enough in the air that a city helicopter would have had to fly around it; whoever reeled it in must've had some kind of power device. Not sure I've ever seen a kite that high in the air. I guess I could figure out how high if I remembered my geometry...
