A startling video has captured a clear view of what a witness believes was a giant UFO flying over California.

The video, recorded on April 27 by an anonymous resident in Twentynine Palms, follows a brightly lit hexagonal-shaped object as it flies over the desert.

The UFO reportedly appeared out of nowhere at around 22:27 p.m. local time, while the witness was standing in an isolated cabin.

According to the report the witness submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) two days later, the suspected spacecraft was moving very slowly and erratically, as if it was in a state of confusion.

“It appeared to move arbitrarily, without any clear direction. The movements were erratic and at varying speeds,” the witness wrote in the report to NUFORC – GazetaExpress reports.

The large object also appeared to pulse, emitting bright light from its edges, as it moved across the sky for about 15 minutes.

“Tonight is the new moon – so it was probably not the moon, and yet it was much brighter than a full moon,” the witness continued.

“What stood out was its extraordinary lighting and strange shape and irregular movements,” he added.

As the witness in Twentynine Palms followed the UFO, he added that the strange object began to change shape – going from a hexagonal object to a circular shape.

The person who recorded the video on his phone was the only witness in the cabin that night, so no one else was able to confirm the event.

However, he stated in his report to NUFORC that he had not taken any type of perception-affecting substance during the observation and that he had had clear vision throughout.

NUFORC officials attempted to find an explanation for the event, noting that a SpaceX rocket launch had taken place that day, but the Falcon 9 rocket had been launched from Florida three hours earlier.

A previous rocket launch had created a similar phenomenon over Great Britain in March.

That strange shape, according to experts, was caused by the glowing frozen fuel being released from the SpaceX rocket.

The blue spiral is formed when excess fuel released from the rapidly spinning rocket rises, reflecting sunlight into the upper atmosphere – giving it an otherworldly glow – before turning into water vapor.

This new sighting occurred just days before a hearing in the US Congress on UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

Speakers, including Pentagon UFO project whistleblower Luis Elizondo, a former NASA administrator and a retired Navy admiral, called on the government to publish what it knows about these unexplained sightings.

They also called for increased funding for the detection of UFOs and UAPs, which, according to some of the speakers, were being suppressed by the American intelligence community.

Elizondo and others pointed out that witnesses like the one in Twentynine Palms have no official central channel in the U.S. to report UFO sightings.

For this reason, many potential reports remain unreported or are never investigated by the military or federal authorities.

NUFORC and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) are two of the most well-known civilian organizations that keep records of citizen sightings.

Although these two organizations are not affiliated with the government, they often share data with researchers or state institutions when important cases occur. /Express newspaper/
