A very large, silent saucer with Windows around the whole saucer 360° with light coming out of them. I have photos and video I

It was about 4:20 AM. We were walking out to the duck blinds at the Salton Sea. About 100 feet in the air right in front of us above us was a very large saucer, desk floating in front of us with no sound. I could see inside of the windows there was molding around the glass The same as an airliner, or like a Tesla vehicle.

It floated out across the Salton Sea. I have pictures and videos, and then it took off. I sought in the daytime a couple days later a big silver disc floating over a military Practice range. There were at least a dozen other people that witnessed the event I just want to know if it’s something we made or if it is alien
What I do know is that we all saw the craft it was totally silent and powered by an unknown source. I will gladly share the pictures and videos.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

September 16, early morning, 5 am or dusk hour, I woke up and went outside and saw a creature, bigger than any kind of bird I have ever seen- was all black with huge wing span I would guess 7-10 feet, maybe larger. It was quite high in altitude, lower than an airplane, about a little higher than what helicopters fly at... It looked like a human, almost "demonic" creature--bony arms hanging down with claw like hands it was very silent but I felt like it knew of my looking at it and I was quite struck with fear, but awe as well. I told my spouse and he said indifferently it must have been a fruit bat... I looked up fruit bat, flying fox fruit bat and the like, and this did not match the description.

Now just a few minutes ago my spouse and I saw a very strange (what he considers to be a drone)and huge black winged creature now this had to be more like 40+ feet wing span very thick wings, very thick body- but like an airplane body... this first creatur! e was thin, almost transparent and clearly had a human like body attached a head, legs, and arms with claw like hands like 3 fingers and a thumb... well this object we just saw was huge, flying south and veered off to the east. we grabbed the binoculars and followed it but lost sight of it. The other creature was flying from the northwest to the southeast.

3 Huge Strange Lights Dancing Over The Coachella Valley Area on Oct 23rd!

On my drive down to my Palm Desert house from the San Fernando Valley, on the evening of Oct. 23rd, over the Coachella Valley area around 9:30 P.M. or so there were 3 HUGE blotches of fuzzy lights way up high in the sky, off in the distance over a mountain range, in the middle of nowhere. Each was very large....about the size of a football field if they were rounded out. They were all moving around each other in a frantic pattern....sometimes moving slowly, as if dancing around one another. Other times one would jet sharply in another direction, moving in a manner I have never seen any light or airplane moving. It was the oddest thing I have ever seen! And they stayed there, in that same area, for quite a while - at least 5-10 minutes. Could have been longer, but I finally got too far away to see them. The oddest thing about them was the kind of indescribable movement these objects were doing. Nothing I have ever seen could go from moving so slowly and smoothly to such an immediate burst of sharp, angular direction change. This was definitely bizarre and like nothing that I have ever seen.

I'm a security guard for a Country Club and I was standing in a maintenance yard using nvg goggles looking up to the sky noticed 8 objects flying over me. The objects look as bright as a star.

I was trying to keep track on them with the nvg goggles heading east to west within one minute. The flying objects were side-by-side to each other doing different types of formations. At one point I noticed that the flying objects were in a square form shape and breaking up from each other and going back to each other very fast.

I tried to see them without the nvg goggles and I was unable to locate them with my eyes.

I use the nvg goggles again and saw them again disappear further and further away from me heading west.

Group of fuzzy, oval illuminations in the desert night sky

Three of us returning from late dinner at 11:30 on a cloudy night in the desert. What first appeared to be searchlights caught our attention. We watched for over 30 minutes as oval illuminations flew about in random paths. The first group contained first 4 then 5 and 6 and back to 4. They would bounce off of one another every so often, but mainly flew about in a limited area. Sometimes one would fly away from the others. It was very hard to determine the distance. At one point, a few flew below the cloud base but still appeard as an oval illumination, fuzzy rather than a well-defined light. Another, smaller group with 2, 3 then 4 appeard directly behind us and flew in the same random manner, often bouncing off of one or two at a time.

Made a few attempts to call police on the non-emergency line but kept getting a recording for the fire department. I decided to give up trying to contact them, thinking they would probably discount it anyway.

These were not searchlights because of the randomness of the flight paths and no beams appeared below. Also, searchlights do not bounce off of one another.

A bright white beam and a large, bright blue beam and the white beam object disappeared behind an out of place 'cloud' .

At around 9:30 pm this evening I got out of my car and in turning around caught sight of a bright!! light in the sky towards the western end of the (Coachella) valley. At first it appeared to be an airplane unfortunately aimed. A very large cloud hovered all around this light-appearing somewhat like a duststorm would; with a misty look to it. This combination made the bright light resemble those movie shots from *inside* a theater, with the flickering light and smoke-effects. (Although this light was steady and not flickering) My immediate second thought was that it was a police copter out looking for someone as they often do. I continued to watch the light as it moved slowly up and to the left (my left..around 10 pm on a clockface) It moved-not too far, distancewise, but over and up, where it went behind the cloud/smoke/dust/mist and reflected, from behind, in a very bright, round manner. Around this time I am noticing another/more light that at first I guessed might be this "police copter" using a blue searchlight, although the *cone* of this blue strip of light was pointed down, as though it was a searchlight from the *ground* pointing up at the light. This strip of light was fairly wider, it seemed, than the white strip that was coming from the object. There was, although it was dark, a fairly well-defined sense of where this cloud started and stopped in the sky, since it was well illuminated. I took note of the sky and climate: The night was clear with stars speckling the sky. The moon was...? about a quarter? Not too big, not obtrusive. The temperature *here* had to be around 89/90-as the thermometer in the car said it was 89 when I was about 5 minutes from home. So I watched as the white light (beam) moved behind the clouds just as the moon would, and waited for it to come out from the other side of the cloud. It failed to do so. I scoured the visible sky for what had become of the object...there was nothing moving (through the air) that was even remotely close enough to the area, to have originated from there. I did not see anything moving in what would have seemed to be the proper trajectory. The light had dimmed to nothing. There was *not* any cloud-cover tonight, I could see the stars all around. The blue strip/beam of light remained...still pointing down towards the right . I stood there for several minutes as this effect slowly faded-at the outset this was a fairly bright shade of blue, almost a light turquoise/seagreen type of color. I tapped on the window for my daughter who sent a message via AOL to my mother who lives next door. So we all hung out for a few minutes and looked as the brightness started to fade and the eventual result was an oblongis/vague triangle 'cloud' in a pale, pale blue tint and then just fading into transparence and then gone. In the meantime my housemate approached me on her way home from being out and said she had seen the same thing although from her viewpoint (about 3 miles and closing, coming in from the west I think) she had seen something of an 'x' or cross-shaped item. She told me she would draw a picture of what she'd seen. From the moment of my first noticing it until the time we went into the house about 10/15 minutes had passed.
