While searching google maps, I came upon this image. I have looked at it several times and I do not understand it.

I lived in Hinkley, Ca, growing up. I was searching google maps to find a house I lived in as a child. I realized I had gone to far and rotated the image around and this is what I found.

I cannot explain it. Please identify this for me.

Thank you

NUFORC UFO Sighting 52482
Occurred: 2006-09-12 16:15 Local
Reported: 2006-09-14 12:25 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Hinkley, IL, USA

Shape: Triangle


Strange triangular structure floating across the sky.

It was a cloudy, over cast day with clouds or fog very low in the sky. It had been raining on and off all day and the rain had stop at this point in the day, but the air was thick and heavy. I was on my way home from work driving south on Somonauk Rd. just a mile south of Hinckley, IL. An object in the sky just above my truck caught my eye. It was moving across the road from the west side of the road to the east and was almost directly above me. I slowed the truck down and rolled down the window to get a better look at it since I was passing directly below it. It was not very high in the sky, maybe 10 feet higher than the telephone poles and was a triangular shape. It was moving relatively slow maybe 20 mph. At first glance it looked kind of like the top of a cell phone tower. It had a very simple structural look to it. It kind of looked like a silver and bronze metal “I” beam structure in the shape of a triangle. There was a lot of structural frame work holding the center which was more solid and circular shaped. Each corner of the triangle had a smaller metal looking beam that came down a few feet but angled in towards the center of the object. I didn't notice any sounds or lights or smoke or anything. It just was floating across the sky heading east above the corn fields. I have no idea what it was; I have never seen anything like it. I stayed and watched it move further away from me until I couldn't see it anymore. As I started to drive on down the road I was kind of freaked out and I had this strange feeling that is hard to describe. I guess I would describe it as a depression or a sadness that only lasted a few minutes. It was very strange. I have gone home from work the same way the last few days and I have made a point at looking to see if I was just seeing some kind of optical allusion or something, but I can't find anything in that area that resembles what I saw that afternoon. I just know that I saw something strange in the sky that I have never seen in my life before.

Location: Hinkley, CA, USA

Shape: Other


Dark brown potato-shaped object seen over desert mountains.

About 10:15am I was driving a convertible with the top down westbound on State Highway 58 a few miles from Barstow, CA on my way to Edwards Air Force Base. The morning sky was clear blue with some thin clouds over the mountain range on my left.

While I was looking at those mountains I noticed a stationary dark brown, potato-shaped object hovering below the clouds and between peaks in the mountains. I slowed down a bit and kept looking at it.

I encountered traffic ahead of me and had to take my eyes away from the object for a moment. When I looked over again it was gone.

string of 6 orange balls of light float in formation slowly low over open desert northwest of Barstow, CA

I live 5 miles north of Hinkley, CA is wide open undeveloped Mojave Desert.

Out a north window of my house I saw a string of 6 orange balls of light moving slowly horizontally in smooth floating manner just above ground level. They were evenly spaced with bright centers and paler halo of orange light around the outside. The overall shape was like a large caterpillar.

They moved from west to east in front of a hill 4 miles away to the northeast. I ran for my automatic digital still camera and set it on (15 second) "video" as I did not want to give my position away by using a flash setting. I just saw the tail end of this object(s) as it turned to the north and then west, around the back of the hill. Orange light was now coming out from both the east and west sides of the hill. Then all went dark. There is a dirt road out there that leads to Superior Valley.
