Mysterious 'dumbbell-shaped' UFO spotted for 45 minutes over Joshua Tree before vanishing
Daily Mail ^ | 4-30-26 | Chris Melore

Posted on 04/30/2026 9:36:00 AM PDT by MarlonRando

The family of four noted in their report that the suspected UFO was within a few miles of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) at Twentynine Palms, about 125 miles east of Los Angeles.

However, the sighting also took place roughly 115 miles from Edwards Air Force Base, the world's largest airfield - and a famous testing ground for experimental aircraft and prototypes since the 1940s.

I was stationed there in 1973.

There were lots of strange objects flying around in the night, military hardware..... 😉

"Dumbell shaped". Or, much more likely, it was just a mylar "H", as mentioned in the article.

How are UFOs going to help pay down the national debt?

Could also be described as H shaped as well. Wait a minute that reminds me of the tie fighters of Star Wars! IIRC Obiwan wanted to avoid Imperial entanglements.

if we had what amount to amazing technology that allowed us to go into space cheaply? That would do it. If we could get out into space and start harvesting resources, then we get pay off our national debt and 12 seconds. I don’t know, I just haven’t seen anything really amazing with my own eyes. We are still using rocket technology from the 1960s to try to go back to the moon which is, iffy.

I just watched a UFO video that had film of these items, which they referred to as probes.

Probably just seeing the pattern at the Giant Rock Intergalactic Airport. It’s a busy runway.
