Report: 842
January 17, 2023
At 7pm I witnessed a series of 8-10 very large, bright round, silver lights in a long string formation floating along the surface of the mountain range just SW of El Paseo Drive in Palm Desert California. I took photos and video and then followed the lights... driving south west on Edgehill Drive to get a better look from Cahuilla Hills Park, at the base of the mountain. These craft were completely silent and used very long, very bright silver beams of light to navigate where they were going. It reminded me of how miners in a coal mine must look in the darkness. But their light was extraordinarily huge and bright, like 8 suns in the sky, but when they turned their "head"... the light would put the beam in that direction. They appeared to be investigating something, and floated in smooth moving patterns like a string of pearls along the ridge and down into the ridges in the mountain. When a commercial airline flew over the ridge all the lights went completely out-- and resumed after the airplane was on the other side of the mountain. This all took place between 7pm and 7:40pm. These craft were VERY large lights in the sky and can't imagine I was the only one that saw them.
