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.

Looks like a drone in the shape of a Star Wars Tie Fighter

Is the picture blurry enough?

They could have done better - getting some finger smear after munching a Little Debbie Nutty Bar would have made it more credible.

A home-made drone.

I wish so had one of those paramotor things. The fan attached to a parachute that allows you to fly around. I would probably end up killing myself, but at the same time, I would probably go out into the desert where there’s no one around to play with it.

Ha. She has been taking flying lessons on brooms with Hillary. Authorities are supposed to cover it up with phony UFO stories as when the early B2 tests were ongoing. 🧹🧹

“...some accounts in the 1940s-50s describing H-shaped or barbell-like structures rather than classic discs. The most famous early report by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 described crescent-shaped objects, which some interpretations have modeled as resembling an H or flat, connected, multi-part, or networked structure rather than a simple circle.”

Did they filter it so the ‘H’ became a barbell ‘🔩’?????

Probably any “nutty” bar will do...

odd design...

True. Obviously not aerodynamic so aliens must be unconcerned with that. Might jump in and out of dimensions or a wormhole rapid transit region. Wouldn't have to take off like our common Artemis shaped rockets against air friction.

Some of the old SF illustration designs had the nuclear power system at one end of a vehicle and the crew at the other to keep them apart.

So, it’s up there for 45 minutes, and not photos, no video. No audio. Nothing?

was stationed there in 1973.

Edwards was my first duty station - got there in Aug '78. Saw a couple of times the Space Shuttle flying on the back of a 747.
