To see the footage, jump to about 06:45 in the video. Otherwise, watch the whole thing. ;)
Three others, and myself, saw an unidentified flying object on Friday, Nov. 18. We were hiking up the Snow Flake Talc Mine Road and had made camp for the night. We were headed to the ghost town of Beveridge City.
It was a clear, moonless night and we were overlooking Saline Valley. While discussing the constellations, which were ridiculously bright that night, we noticed across the valley in one of the mountain passes a bright white light flying around, making weird circles and lighting up the mountain sides. It began to move counter-clockwise (think of the valley as a circle), it then stopped and started moving clockwise, hugging the mountains and getting closer to us. I saw the reflection of the light in the salt lake as it flew over it.
There was a mountain ridge next to us, and the light moved out of sight. We estimated in about 10 minutes it would appear in front of our canyon. Sure enough, it did in approximately 10-15 minutes. It appeared to be hovering just above the valley floor, and shining a beam forward, it would move in a strafing motion (left and right), forward and backward, and even up and down. It started moving up the canyon we were in, but then veered again and continued on past us.
We were at an elevation of 3,500 feet, it was below us at an elevation of roughly 1,300 feet (near the valley floor). It made no sound. We think it may have been some sort of rover or other experimental scientific craft. We figured a military craft wouldn’t bother with having a light.
Good news, though. I did video tape it, it’s in the above video. Unfortunately, it was so dark out that what I captured on film just looks like a white light against a black background, but I did narrate to give it some context.
I’m a journalist, the other three people were a biologist, a geology expert (biologist with a geologist background), and a historian. We were all understandably freaked out by this.

George Kohler of San Francisco was participating in a 318-mile cycling tour of Death Valley. He had only gone 52 miles when he mysteriously disappeared about a week ago on March 12. It was the first day of the tour.
Kohler and other cyclists were camped near Mesquite Springs and at about 8 p.m. he said [...]
It’s the newest and perhaps will prove to be the most awesome jet in our arsenal. The F-35 Lightning II is stealthy, sexy, and armed to the teeth. But honestly, will we ever really need to use it? Some say maybe.
Of course, the U.S. has been sinking its teeth in the Middle East for decades [...]
