Oval over Landers, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was visiting Giant Rock after having gone to the Integratron. While there I took an image of the landscape to include the sky, I walked in between Giant Rock's separate pieces and took two pictures of the landscaping, I then had a physical reaction where I had an intense "pressure" feeling on my third eye. It was so severe that I walked back through the pieces to exit where I had entered, as I exited, I took another picture of the same image I took before I entered Giant Rock and there was an "orb" or "energy vortex" in the sky. I believe it is this object that also gave me the intense pressure sensation on my third eye. Both images were taken at 12:47 PM time stamp on June 18, 2023. I went through all of the images that I took while there and checked for any other photos for the same anomaly but there were none. The object is oval with an outline and there also appears to be a light beam next to it as well. Giant Rock has a history for UFO sightings, has nine ley lines running through it making it a vortex of energy.

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Out in the high dessert camping with some friends. Notice a bright light low on the horizon, way brighter then any of the stars in the sky. The light seemed to form a diamond shape. Once others in the group noticed, we realized the object would wobble back and forth. We thought it was maybe a drone, but there were no blinking lights and the object stayed airborne for hours. All the way till sunrise till it disappeared in to the sky round 8am

Prior to seeing this I noticed something in the sky that was neither a plane nor a meteor. There was no noise associated with the experience.

I was one of the people with night vision goggles to confirm the object. The guide pointed there is a large object, low on the horizon, on the other side of the Giant Rock. We were all gathered at the South side of the Giant Rock, just on the side of the paved area. I had sensed something close by at same time the Guide pointed to the area of sky behind the Giant Rock. The window of view was very narrow, between Giant Rock and the smaller rock at the East side of it. At that point, I didn't have a NVG on hand, the object was very large, visible to the naked eye. A girl with NVG on hand handed it to me to confirm the object is a UFO as she was new to it and not sure how to use the NVG. I took the NVG and focused it to a clear view as it was blurry at that point. With NVG now, I observed the object for about 2min, flying West/Southwest towards and behind the Spy Mountain. It had a Diamond shape around it with a round center and a much smaller round darker area! at the 1/3 point from the bottom. It had a very pale orange tint to it at this point. Soon after it disappeared behind the Spy Mountain, the 2 helicopters showed up from the Northeast side across the valley, and next thing we saw was one of them chasing the UFO going towards South from behind the mountain.

Shortly after doing a high-vibration meditation, while holding hands in a circle with about 50 others at Giant Rock, CA, an amber craft appeared to the northeast. My wife saw it through night vision goggles, while I had just missed seeing it as I raced over to the others as it disappeared to the northwest behind Spy Mountain. Within minutes, loud roaring of what sounded like jet engines and a military helicopter came from the east/northeast followed by another a minutes or so later. These then came around the south side of Spy Mountain, heading south, and clearly could see an elongated amber light being followed by a military helicopter with flashing lights. The amber light was not flashing and had no other lights visible. The amber light sped off to the south and the helicopter could not keep up. This was interesting how we invited them to appear with the meditation, and the first thing that happens is our military chases them. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

While on a UFO night-watch at Giant Rock with participants attending the Contact in the Desert event, approximately 50 of us gathered to watch the sky and share at least 15 pairs of Generation 3 military goggles provided by the host of the event. At approximately 10pm, a few people noticed a bright red-orange point of light glowing constantly bright, not blinking and moving from one field of view to another in between the two giant rocks and hills. I and approximately 10 others joined the observers to catch a quick glimpse before it left our field of view. At this time, for approximately 1-2 minutes, I observed this light through the goggles. The first thing I did was adjust the depth of field in the goggles. The goggles were in focus for high altitude focus, making the stars above look very clear. To view this object up close, I had to lens all the way to the closest depth to see the object clearly. What I saw during the time the focus was clear was a diamond shape with sides very close to being equal all the way around. I could see definition in the object enough to make out brighter areas in all four corners of the object and once more in the middle. In the spaces in-between, it glowed with less intensity. Once the object was out of view from being behind the rock, I immediately drew what I saw on paper and shared it with the event host. Approximately one minute after, in the same area we saw the diamond craft fly from left to right in our view, now I saw three aircrafts following the same route. I am aware that military aircraft blink with multiple flashes in quick succession, whereas commercial and personal planes blink once. This is how I came to my conclusion. Moments after we noticed the above mentioned aircrafts, a large bright light appearing red-orange emerged from over the hill we stood below. The light zoomed quickly over our heads at the height of approximately 1000 ft. I remember noticing that there was no sound coming from the light. A moment later, following the light, emerged a military jet craft making loud noise as it flew by us. The jet seemed to be chasing the light. The light flew straight towards the hills to our other side, and the jet chased it until they could not be seen with my physical sight. One of the group participants using his own goggle recorded from his device a video, with no sound, showing the event. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

On the evening of Sunday, May 21st, multiple ufos were observed by a group of 40+ people visiting at Giant Rock in the Mohave desert. The group was sharing 15 night vision goggles and several laser pointers. I am sharing my experience of the event. Early on at about 8:00pm, several of us witnessed a bright orb like object moving a straight line then glowed brightly and disappeared. Later a group of three bright orbs moving from west to east at approx. 80 deg. above us from the horizon. I observed it for about 30 deg of travel in the aforementioned direction. I also observed a glowing amber disc-like object, about 5 deg. above the horizon due north towards Area 51 between Giant Rock and another large boulder adjacent to it. The amber object was about the size of my thumb at arms length traveling slowly from east to west parallel to the horizon. Shortly after the amber object transition behind Giant Rock and was no longer visible maybe 2 min. later a jet ! airplane could be heard coming out of the west. The jet passed over the group from NW to SE direction over the group at approx 70 deg above the southern horizon. In front of the jet (approx. 200 ft) were two red orb like objects. Both the jet and red orbs maintained constant speed and distance. Someone in the group had a night vision camera and they recorded the event. That video is currently being shared on several Facebook accounts. Please see other reports about the same event. PD
