UFO with Orbs
by Michael O.

On a halcyon Memorial Day of 1997, I decided to go out on the back patio of our Victorville, California home and lay out in the sun with my German shepard. It was windy with large cumulus clouds moving from southwest to east. Looking to the west, which would be the southeast portion of Edwards AFB, I noticed a metallic Saturn-shaped object holding stationary bobbing through the giant clouds which moved west to east. These clouds were moving swiftly against a beautiful blue sky, but I could see the object was holding its relative position over the ground because it didn't move too much relative to the eaves on the patio. It did bob however, moving up and down, and sideways.

I went inside, got my 7-power opera binoculars and saw that it was the classic Saturn-shaped UFO. It had two and sometimes three little wispy orbs that seemed to move around the "flying saucer," like hummingbirds. They seemed to fade in and out. The object turned on its side and I could see it was shiny like a hubcap, yet non-reflective around most of the perimeter like brushed stainless steel. I was very far (20 miles away maybe and at 30,000 feet AGL) and had a black ring underneath which was circumscribed by the round perimeter of the disk. There were no windows. Sometimes the object looked like glass, as if you could see through it, but this was probably just and optical illusion.

It stayed there on its side edge for some time, slowly moving back and forth and changing its orientation level, then sideways, etc., as if the occupants inside had no care about gravity. The companion orbs around it moved to and fro. It was as if they seemed to fade behind an invisible area curtain that blocked them occasionally against the blue sky and they had a wispy existence, like when you move a lit candle to and fro. They had a shape like playing jacks (remember jacks, the children's game?) Here is the thing that convinced me that this thing was a large ship. A jetliner (passenger) was flying from west to east and it flew above this thing according to my parallax. In the binoculars I could see it was a passenger jet and this thing was about four times the volume of the passenger jet.

The UFO made no attempt to hide. So I could see it was very, very large as the jet passed above and behind the UFO object. The pilots of the passenger jet may have had a problem seeing it as the object was below it, viewed into the sun, and some distance to the southeast of it. It's hard to say, given the parallax from my viewing spot, but they were fairly close in the general sense. Probably they could have seen it. I sense they were less than two miles apart based on what I saw in the binoculars. (By the way I have better than 20-10 vision and I have flown helicopters and am an engineer.)

Well, eventually I got tired of viewing this thing after about an hour and it seemed to be getting cloudier an cloudier. I did snap a photo from a cheap camera. I had no camcorder or good camera with film. That will never happened again! But when I blew up the photo using Photoshop, it confirmed what I had seen more clearly in the binoculars. Here is my opinion of what it was: Edwards AFB had long been the testing ground for new aircraft. I think it was some new ongoing ultra-secret technology being tested. It appeared to me that it had some kind of cloaking curtain surrounding it and that (for whatever reason) the "cloak curtain" could not cover the craft from my angle, so I could see it in clear view. The fact that it was floating and bobbing from Phelan to the SE portion of Edwards AFB domain implied to me that it had something to do with the military. The SE and far east parts of Edwards AFB are the move isolated parts of the Base. The object had a quick movement capability.

It floated aimlessly relative to the ground, but short, quick up and down and bobbing movements relative to itself were stunning. I think the military has projects that are way beyond what we would believe or conceive. Anti-gravity, exotic propulsion systems, and cloaking systems would have had decades to be developed.
