While camping at Coldbrook Campground in Wrightwood, CA (75R5+HR Falling Springs, California) the reporting witness and two others reported that they observed a silent, black, oval-shaped craft descend into the valley from over the mountain top from the direction of Falling springs / South Mt. Hawkins. The sighting occurred between the hour of 9 pm and 10 pm (uncertain of the specific time) and lasted for roughly 3-5 minutes by his estimation before they lost visual sight of the object. They were located just outside of the campground on soldier creek, facing due E-NE. The moon was nearly full (about 75% illumination) and provided clear nighttime visibility without the need for flashlights. They could see a dark outline/shape of the object as it moved through the sky and passed above/behind the tree line.Craft Description: Black and non-reflective. Oval shaped, potentially 15-20 ft in diameter, with a single glowing orange light. The object did not have any a! dditional lighting. The orange light appeared to be able to move around the oval independently, as when his friend Leah flashed her flashlight at the object the orange light immediately turned towards their direction at which point craft hovered in place, flickered its light at them, and then proceeded to continue along its path. They were unable to hear any sounds or buzzing that would indicate that it was possibly a drone. Additionally, all insect noise appeared to go silent from when they first saw it descend over the mountain top and over San Gabriel Canyon Road. Additional information: They don't believe they had any missing time, although they were very turned around had difficulty finding their direction and original path back to the campsite after the sighting. Two items on their persons were also missing 1 x Flashlight (Austin), and 1 x Multi-tool (main witness). (MUFON CMS)

It crossed my mind that I may be about to witness a UFO, but I discarded it and kept walking my dog. I'm not sure why I had this impression. it was weird. The cloud was quite bright and appeared to be about 3 football stadiums in size, maybe 2000 to 3000 feet AGL. The crowd appeared to be about 5 miles away due south from where I was. it appeared as though either the moon or an aircraft was behind the cloud and illuminating it. The light source was behind the top of one tree, I could see light through the branches, but not make out what exactly the light was. I continued to walk towards the wash and continued to look at the cloud. About 10 seconds later the cloud came into view better. I noticed that it had a fan shape and could start to see more of the light source through the branches. The cloud was a wispy light cloud that appeared to be in a kind of Japanese fan shape. Approximately 5 to 10 seconds later the entire cloud and light source came into view. The light was centered in the corner of the fan, however still obscured by the branches and the cloud. Approximately 5 seconds later, I came to the end of the road and could get a more clear look at the cloud. The cloud had started to dissipate and the light dim. No more than 3-5 seconds later the cloud had shrunk to half of its size and the light dimmed considerable. No more than 3-5 seconds later than that there was nothing in the sky where I had been looking. It was a cold, clear, crisp light with no other fog, clouds or obscuration. The moon had not yet risen, I did not notice any helicopters, aircraft or weather balloons in the proximity that may of created the light source. Possible result of launch of Space X rocket from Cape Kennedy? PD
