UFO Landing Mystery - Barstow, CA - 12/12/09

NOTE: A reader, Mike, forwarded this to me today:

A relative of a witness reported on an internet forum about the sighting Saturday at 1:20 pm EST: “My sister just received a call from her stepson from Barstow who attested that a UFO landed on one of the major highways there (presumeably [sic] Interstate 40 or 15). The UFO was surrounded by a team of black cars. Witnesses are questioning whether this is a Government UFO or the ‘real thing.’ My sister is waiting for a return call from her stepson. I’ll give more details as they arrive.”

Today the same person, maya2012, wrote back to the forum after hearing more information from the sister: “Her nephew called today. Apparently, the UFO landed (or crashed) off off the road early in the morning when it was still dark outside. The police and black cars arranged themselves so that their headlights were faceing [sic] outward, making it difficult for people to see what was happening. My nephew’s coworker took two pictures but they came out somewhat blurry. He stated that you could partially see the UFO in one picture. My nephew doesn’t have the pictures, his coworker does. We’re still trying to get them. A large military transport was brought in to take the UFO back to the nearby military base.”

Whether the UFO was an alien spacecraft or a military plane is unknown.

If the UFO claims are true, there will probably be other Barstow residents reporting the sighting soon since it was on a highway.

NOTE: I decided to do some checking around...the following statements were taken off various forums...Lon

*Me & the wifey had a weird experience driving down the 5 on the Oysterhead run. We were getting buzzed by a plane(?) flying over the freeway, except it was like 3am and pitch black darkness. It was flying like a crop duster but kept passing over (buzzing) us on the freeway to the other side and back. Over & over until, just about every car on the freeway finally noticed and slowed down to a crawl...then it flew away

*My nephew's boss was traveling on the highway when he was passed by a number of police cars and black government cars. They blocked off the road and it's believed that they took the UFO to the local military base. I'm still waiting for the photo for confirmation.

*My sister's nephew called today. Apparently, the UFO landed (or crashed) off off the road early in the morning when it was still dark outside. The police and black cars arranged themselves so that their headlights were facing outward, making it difficult for people to see what was happening. My nephew's coworker took two pictures but they came out somewhat blurry. He stated that you could partially see the UFO in one picture. My nephew doesn't have the pictures, his coworker does. We're still trying to get them. A large military transport was brought in to take the UFO back to the nearby military base.

NOTE: these videos were taken over Tracy, CA and Ridgecrest, CA on the night before or the night after the supposed landing. If I come up with any other information, I'll update here...Lon

Update: this was posted this evening - *Here's the latest: I spoke directly with my nephew. His coworker, who took the picture, stated the UFO was already on the military transport when he passed them on the highway. He only sees his coworker every other weekend, but mentioned that he'll see him this weekend. I told him about this thread and the one on my forum, as well as how it's gone viral on the internet. He said we should have the picture(s), hopefully by Saturday evening.

I also told him about the cable TV investigation show. It'd probably be better if the person who took the picture was represented on this show instead of me.

Once again, I apologize for the dely on obtaining the picture, but as mentioned, I will post it ASAP.

Update: I've been following this story all day. I contacted several area media sources and the local police in and around Barstow, CA....there are NO reports of a UFO landing in the vicinity on 12/12/09 or any other day for that matter. Until I see some evidence, I'm going to consider this a hoax...Lon
