Formation over Chiraco Summit, CA

The report, as filed

I had recently been with a friend who was watching the usual cheesy UFO videos on U-TUBE when we came across some footage from April 10 of 2017 (you-tube search: UFO Parker Arizona). It showed a double formation of orange(ish) lights near Parker, Arizona. The event had also been videotaped separately near El Central CA on the same evening. I was camping near Chiraco Summit, CA, (I-10 near Joshua Tree) on that night and saw a blue fireball move toward San Diego from my position. This fireball was also discussed by the video observer and apparently some TV news organizations. Some minutes later, I observed two formations of amber lights moving from the vicinity of El Central, moving N and slightly E. From my position looking East, they would have crossed the Chocolate Mountains (I-10) between Desert Center and Blythe, CA, and were pretty much headed right to where they were videotaped at Parker, AZ. I see on your website (California sightings) from April 10th, 2017, (a busy day) that at least one report came in from Calexico regarding this formation and another from San Marcos, CA, describing the blue fireball seen just prior to the formations coming into view. Just wanted to give any interested folks a "head’s up" that this particular footage on the website is very probably the real deal. I do not endorse or know anything about the objectivity of the UFO site(s) where the footage is shown!
