It's been a long time. Wishing blessings of peace and love to all.
After checking out Don Meers documentary Australien Skies (on Netflix now), I decided to check out old road trip video footage to see if I caught anything unwittingly. After the Joshua Tree Retreat Center experience, I figured it was possible.
Well here is a video capture from April of 2011. We had been in Joshua Tree park for about fifteen minutes or so before we decided to pull off at this area. There were large bluffs on either side, and a great view of the mountains towards the south. U2s Red Tree Hill from the Joshua Tree album was playing in the background. We were really in the moment.
I was filming on and off during the drive in, and turned the camera back on and panned to the left and then right. Right as soon as I got to the most extreme point, an object takes off with extreme speed from in front of a Joshua Tree about 100-150 ft away, upwards and to the right.
Zooming in reveals not only a small dust cloud that puffs up from the ground, but a triangular object that is literally hurling itself up clockwise into the air. The corners appear to be lit up.
As it get to the level above the horizon and to the right, it has completely changed shape.
Naturally, there are folks who have refused to look at the video and have called this a bird. No bird takes off from a standstill from the ground that fast.
I sat on this video forever before sharing it. I searched extensively for videos of birds taking off, including ptarmigan falcons and the like. All birds taking off from the ground have to include a moment where they push off from the ground and gain momentum... If this is a bird it clearly has some kind of nuclear propulsion mechanism lodged up his backside...and it makes him get larger and change shape!
I have NO idea what this is. Looks like maybe some kind of really high tech drone or literally a mini-ufo. I dont know. It made absolutely no sound. I did submit to MUFON, and they have deemed it case #78889 unknown.
