Date: 26 June, 2016.

Place: Twenty-nine Palms, State of California, United States.

Located in Southern California, in the Mojave Desert, and with only 25,000 inhabitants, the small city of Twenty-nine Palms is very famous for its sandy, arid climate, and for the Mara Oasis, which is one of the main touristic attractions in the area.

Additionally, legendary singer Robert Plant (former Led Zeppelin vocalist) wrote the song called “29 Palms” while touring in California.

However, on 19 June 2016, the name of this town would resound one more time, but for a very different reason.

According to an anonymous report published on UFO specialised website MUFON.com, “a black sphere” was seen in the sky of the Californian village in the morning of the 26 June.

“At 5:20 in the morning on 26 June I was walking my dogs along a regularly travelled route just before sunrise”, the witness related, when suddenly, while “walking east along Samarkand Rd. I spotted a black sphere the size of a beach ball ascending slowly from a rooftop”, he claimed. “It caught my eye because it was moving within my line of sight and [it is] an object I am not used to seeing at that position”.

About the characteristics of the object’s flight trajectory, the witness commented: “at first it travelled slowly, then gained speed to approximately 35 mph. I thought it may have been some type of drone, though no forms of propulsion were detected and I should have heard some noise if it was a kind of drone, but it was completely silent”.

Finally, after having observed the unidentified flying device for a few minutes, this person affirmed that it slowly flew away. “I watched it for approximately 3 minutes until I could no longer see it (because it was eventually so far away) as it travelled over the desert”.

Draw your own conclusions…

Long Description of Sighting Report

At 5:20 in the morning on 26 June I was walking my dogs along a regularly traveled route just before sunrise. As I was walking east along Samarkand Rd I spotted a black sphere the size of a beach ball ascending slowly from a rooftop. It caught my eye because it was movement within my line of sight and an object I am not used to seeing at that position. No other people were in sight, and after ascending, the sphere hovered for a moment. After hovering, it took off in the opposite direction from which I was walking, east towards the coming sunrise. At first it traveled slowly then gained speed to approximately 35 mph. I thought it may have been some type of drone, though no forms of propulsion were detected and I should have heard some noise if it was a kind of drone, but it was completely silent. I watched it for approximately 3 minutes until I could no longer see it (because it was eventually so far away) as it traveled over the desert. I was very curious, but not scared. I told a neighbor and my friend what I saw, then made a report on ufo hunters and this site after failing to reach out to the Ground Zero radio show with Clive Lewis.
