2019-06-15 - Wrightwood, CA - Oval

While camping at Coldbrook Campground in Wrightwood, CA (75R5+HR Falling Springs, California) the reporting witness and two others reported that they observed a silent, black, oval-shaped craft descend into the valley from over the mountain top from the direction of Falling springs / South Mt. Hawkins. The sighting occurred between the hour of 9 pm and 10 pm (uncertain of the specific time) and lasted for roughly 3-5 minutes by his estimation before they lost visual sight of the object. They were located just outside of the campground on soldier creek, facing due E-NE. The moon was nearly full (about 75% illumination) and provided clear nighttime visibility without the need for flashlights. They could see a dark outline/shape of the object as it moved through the sky and passed above/behind the tree line.Craft Description: Black and non-reflective. Oval shaped, potentially 15-20 ft in diameter, with a single glowing orange light. The object did not have any a! dditional lighting. The orange light appeared to be able to move around the oval independently, as when his friend Leah flashed her flashlight at the object the orange light immediately turned towards their direction at which point craft hovered in place, flickered its light at them, and then proceeded to continue along its path. They were unable to hear any sounds or buzzing that would indicate that it was possibly a drone. Additionally, all insect noise appeared to go silent from when they first saw it descend over the mountain top and over San Gabriel Canyon Road. Additional information: They don't believe they had any missing time, although they were very turned around had difficulty finding their direction and original path back to the campsite after the sighting. Two items on their persons were also missing 1 x Flashlight (Austin), and 1 x Multi-tool (main witness). (MUFON CMS)
