7:50pm Saturday, October 21st, I was in my backyard in Windy Point (A community 8 minutes north-west of Palm Springs) laying on my back stargazing, as usual. You can see the whole milky way and it's always exhilarating to watch for satellites (they look like faint stars moving in a straight line with no blinking indicator lights, unlike a plane). To the West, towards San Bernardino, I saw in the corner of my eye a flash. It suggested Meteor burning up in the atmosphere or a supernova, but there was no typical streak, and it was no supernova, because it happened again. This second time I could track "it" with my eye as it showed movement during its flash, and then flashed again a short distance away from the previous light but it was NOT flying in a straight line. This UFO, my first one, meandered as it lit up like a lighthouse or beacon. You can't say it blinked because the light came on and off gradually, at different intervals and duration, usually for 1-3 seconds, but sometimes after 5 second of darkness, or a whole 30 seconds. The UFO appeared faint like a distant star when visible at all, it flew across the sky as if it were doing figure-8's, backtracking a bit, wandering in circles, lighting up as if to get attention or scanning the surface. It was in a higher altitude than the planes taking off at the nearby Palm Springs airport, but not higher than the satellites flying over the sky. The closest things you can describe it as is a irregularly timed, weightless lighthouse light, blowing in the wind almost* as high up as a passenger planes cruising altitude. It size suggested that it was no bigger than a star to the naked eye, a dot, but maybe no bigger than a car or basketball in reality, when it flashed it was brighter than a planes white indicator lights, like phosphorous or a meteor burning (dozens of planes, helicopters and jets fly over this desert in different flight paths hourly), but when it went out it seemed the chemical reaction left a bit of light on the UFO as you could see it moving about. I've spent my life hoping to see a UFO, though nervous I kept staring. They say, for better or worse, that E.T./UFO phenomena communicate telepathically, so I was emitting a giant question mark to the orb: "what now?" it just kept swirling and flashing of course. It started for me somewhere over Yucaipa and faded out of sight over Desert Hot Springs, toward Twenty Nine Palms.
