Light traversing mountain terrain rapidly, October 2023
While stationary in a vehicle, the witness observed a light source moving rapidly between the top and bottom of a mountain across approximately 4 miles, producing no dust cloud despite rough desert terrain.
“Later in the night while stationary in a vehicle on ground level, I watched at least one light source appear and disappear along a mountain (approx. 4 miles away). The light moved from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain and at first looked like a vehicle traveling down the mountain; however, the light darted between the top and bottom of the mountain within seconds, which would not be feasible for a standard vehicle to do.”
