2015-12-12 - Palm Desert, CA - Oval

Two oval objects heading fast towards the west over Palm Desert.

Driving west on Fred Waring in Palm Desert, I saw two disk-shaped objects in the clear sky. They were headed relatively fast towards west, seemed to be quite high up in the air, and I couldn’t hear any sound. (I was in a car so that may have been the reason.) The two objects were close to each other and kept the same distance and configuration. They were both identical in appearance: Oval, dark in color, somewhat metallic looking. At the time, I and the driver of the car had no idea what they may be. They didn’t look like anything I had seen before, and I couldn’t think of anything known they could be. They went too fast for being a balloon. They were definitely not birds. It was daylight so they were not obviously planets or meteors. They were not civilian drones since they went fast and continued over the mountains. They did not have the shape of any airplane I have seen.

Thinking back now, it is possible that they were two helicopters and we didn’t see the rotors or any of the things normally protruding from helicopters. It’s possible, but it does seem unlikely that we wouldn’t have seen any of those things and the perfect oval shape of both objects didn’t fit the shape of helicopters I have seen. It is possible that they were military drones flying in perfect formation and with no visible or audible form of propulsion. I don’t know if military drones comes in a perfectly oval shape. It was certainly an odd sight.
