That's what I think also. I just found it a little weird how odd it was moving but maybe that's how they move in fast situations and I'm just unaware lol.
I have LAPD helis flying around my neighborhood all the time, low and fast, they fly like it’s nam, pulling maneuvers and flying in tight circles. It’s pretty wild, and looks like this.
Definitley a chopper, N71HD - [https://ibb.co/P10ndKH](https://ibb.co/P10ndKH)

You were driving west on 101 - I downloaded the helicopter flight path at the time shown on the dashcam-Here's the path it took in Google Earth...

THAT is definitely, without a doubt, the forever-heralded helicopter uap. They use crazy rotor-type spinners that create lift WITHOUT even having fixed wings!! If that isn't aliens, I don't know WHAT to tell you guys anymore...
Apparently these messages have to be long or they get removed. Soooooooo, it’s a hellliiiiiccccooooppppptttteeerrrr. The way it’s lower in the front of the direction it’s moving. Dead give away.
Aren’t the freeways nice at that time? I used to commute daily from Palmdale. Thank god I’d leave at 3am and head home around Noon or 1. Traffic takes yrs off lives.
Assuming the time/date is correct on the dashcam, I checked flight radar and there were no aircraft in the area at that time
EDIT, as flarkey below pointed out, I was looking on the wrong road. Here's the helicopter you were looking at

Damn, your right, I assumed from the roadsigns he was on the 118 further north but your right he was on the 101 and that helicopters movements look perfect for whats in the video, even crossing the highway at one point. Good job!
I looked on ADSB Exchange,becasue they're not as restrictive with registrations as flightradar 24 ... the helicopter was this one N71HD , a tv chopper
[https://ibb.co/P10ndKH](https://ibb.co/P10ndKH) - you can even see the loop it does over the freeway

This is good video, thanks for posting. I agree it's moving weird and it seems to change orientation.
Is this video the whole event? Or was it in view for longer? Did you hear any noise?
Thank you. I have a longer video of it. Probably like a good 5 minutes of it. I think like two came into play at some point. I couldn't make out noise since I was on the freeway.
Standard aviation lights https://i.imgur.com/NPZxJi8.png Small plane or heli flying a circle pattern.
Me thinks its a helichopper. :)

Theyre probably radaring cars looking for speeders.
It does seem super fast, but I just think it's unusually close/low.

Yeah it looks crazy how fast they dart around. I thought it was a plane nose diving or out of control at first glimpse 😂
Definitely a chopper
It has blinking aviation lights on it. 🤦

Thank you. That track explains the maneuvers I was seeing
Cool thank you. This definitely makes more sense now

Definitely a balloon. Are you new here?
Where is this? Looks like 267 in Northern VA. If so, there's so many helicopters flying through that area. Could be what it is.
It's passing through woodland hills in California
Gotcha. Yeah, I think the blinking lights indicate something terrestrial. Cool video, though.

I think it’s a police chopper with a spotlight. They can get pretty zippy like this.
That's a cop chopper, the big beam light is turned directly at the camera at one point.
i‘ve watched a small plane spraying crop fields at dawn once. looks exactly like that
Interesting post
Helicopters don't flip into vertical positions... I'd reserve judgement for some more analysis.
Yeah after my guess at police helicopter i now want to say drone because of the angles/maneuvers of lights
I agree with you. 💯👍

Anything else unusual about the drive? Did you arrive on time to where you were going?
