UFO on a Truck in Bakersfield, California

In the quiet expanse between Bakersfield and Palmdale, California, not far from the innovative halls of Lockheed’s Skunk Works and the vigilant skies over Edwards Air Force Base, lies a history rich with aerial mysteries. The modern UFO era, often traced back to Kenneth Arnold’s seminal 1947 sighting near Mount Rainier, has evolved dramatically, with California witnessing its fair share of these UFO occurrences.

Whoever made this UFO in 2023, did an excellent job of making it look exactly like a saucer UFO. How did you get permission to tie up two lanes of traffic to travel and have the help of support vehicles?

The recent transportation of a remarkably authentic-looking saucer UFO through Bakersfield was captured by numerous onlookers. This event, intriguing in its execution, raised questions about the logistics involved, such as the apparent ease with which traffic was rerouted and the presence of support vehicles, hinting at a well-coordinated effort. The spectacle of the saucer, so reminiscent of descriptions from historical sightings, not only bridged the past with the present.

The transportation of this UFO fits perfectly with the timing of the UFO shootdowns of 2023. In 2023, a series of unidentified objects were shot down over North America, heightening military alertness. One was taken down by the U.S. Air Force over Alaska, landing in the Beaufort Sea. Another, intercepted by NORAD, was shot down over the Yukon, marking a NORAD first. The third was also downed by the U.S. Air Force, this time over Lake Huron. Let us never forget how close we were to potential disclosure on February 16, 2023, when many believed President Joe Biden might reveal the truth about the shootdown of unidentified aerial phenomena. This period marked a significant moment in history, stirring discussions and expectations among those following the topic.

In Bakersfield, California, and its surrounding areas, a collection of UFO sightings from various locations and eras showcases a compelling pattern in the physical characteristics of these unidentified objects. Beginning with the seminal 1947 Kenneth Arnold sighting near Mount Rainier, which catapulted the modern UFO era into the spotlight with descriptions of flat, half-moon shaped crafts with potential portholes, to the intricate reports of saucer-like objects with unique features such as indents or “divots” and circular etchings, spanning from the 1950 Pacific Mariana incident to the 2018 San Diego sighting. These narratives, marked by their consistent depiction of saucer-shaped or domed crafts with flat bases, occasionally described as if two saucers were merged, not only indicate a continuous occurrence in these locales but also provide insight into the shifting story and imagery associated with UFO sightings, blending aspects of eyewitness accounts and perhaps non-human intelligent technology.

Flat Bottom, Half Moon Shaped:

Kenneth Arnold sighting (1947): This famous sighting, which is often cited as the beginning of the modern UFO era, involved the sighting of nine objects flying in formation near Mount Rainier in Washington state. Arnold described the objects as being “flat like a pie pan” and “half-moon shaped,” with a “blue-black” appearance.

Port Holes:

Gulf Breeze Sightings (1987-1988): In a series of sightings in Gulf Breeze, Florida, some eyewitnesses reported seeing UFOs with a saucer-like shape and a series of evenly spaced portholes around the outer edge of the craft.

The 1959 Papua New Guinea UFO sighting involved reports of a disc-shaped object with glowing “portholes.” This event is known for the number of witnesses and the detail of their accounts.

Indented or “Divot” on the Dome or Top of the Craft

The Mariana UFO Incident (1950): In this famous sighting over the Pacific Ocean, the crew of a U.S. Air Force plane reported seeing a saucer-shaped craft with a dome on top that had a “divot” or indentation in the center. The object was said to be emitting a bright glow and moved rapidly through the air.

The Stephenville Lights (2008): Witnesses in Stephenville, Texas, reported seeing a large, disc-shaped craft with a “small divot” on the top of the dome. The object was described as being extremely bright and moving rapidly across the sky.

Saucer cut in Half

The Exeter Incident (1965): In this well-known sighting in New Hampshire, witnesses reported seeing a large, glowing object that was described as being “like a half a grapefruit” or “like a dome cut in half.” The object was said to be moving rapidly and made a strange, whining noise.

The Tinley Park Lights (2004): Witnesses in Tinley Park, Illinois, reported seeing a series of lights in the sky that appeared to be attached to a craft that was described as being “like two saucers put together.” The object was said to be moving erratically and made no noise.

Like Two Saucers put Together

The San Diego UFO sighting (2018): In this sighting over San Diego, California, witnesses reported seeing a craft that was described as being “like a saucer cut in half” or “like two saucers put together.” The object was said to be moving silently and appeared to be hovering in the sky.

Flat Bottom

The Betty and Barney Hill abduction (1961): This is one of the most famous UFO cases of all time, involving the alleged abduction of a New Hampshire couple. They reported seeing a saucer-shaped craft with a flat bottom that emitted a beeping noise.

The Travis Walton abduction (1975): Walton claimed to have been abducted by a saucer-shaped craft with a flat bottom while working in Arizona. He reported seeing a row of portholes around the edge of the flat bottom.

Circles Etched into the Top Surface of the Saucer

The 1964 Socorro UFO incident: In this famous sighting in New Mexico, police officer Lonnie Zamora reported seeing a “silvery” object with a “red lettering” or “marking” on the side of the craft. Some reports describe the marking as being a circular or “etched” design on the surface of the craft.

The 1977 Colares UFO flap: In this series of sightings in Brazil, numerous witnesses reported seeing UFOs with a circular or “etched” marking on the top of the craft. The objects were described as being “saucer-shaped” and emitting a bright light.

The 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident: In this well-known sighting, multiple witnesses reported seeing a group of “saucer-shaped” objects flying over the U.S. Capitol building. Some reports describe the objects as having a circular or “etched” design on the surface of the craft.

The skies of California, from the Pacific coast to the desert expanses, have been an area for some of the most intriguing and varied UFO sightings in history. These incidents, ranging from the famous 1947 Arnold sighting to the dramatic 2018 San Diego encounter, illustrate a persistent and evolving narrative of unidentified aerial phenomena. The detailed descriptions of crafts, with features such as flat bottoms, divot domes, and etched circles, not only provide a taxonomy of UFOs but also invite more questions than answers.
