Mysterious hexagonal UFO sighting over California sparks questions amid government secrecy
A startling new video has surfaced, capturing what appears to be a massive, brightly-lit hexagonal object hovering over the California desert.
The footage recorded by an unnamed witness on April 27 has reignited debates about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and the government’s transparency – or lack thereof – on the subject. The sighting occurred around 10:27 p.m. Pacific time near Twentynine Palms, a remote desert town known for its vast, open skies.
The witness, alone at a cabin, reported seeing the object appear suddenly before moving erratically across the sky for approximately 15 minutes. The craft’s unexpected behaviour – jerky movements, pulsating lights and ability to morph from a hexagon into a circle – has left experts and sceptics scrambling for explanations.
According to the report filed with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), the object defied conventional explanations. The witness emphasized that the night was moonless, ruling out celestial bodies as the source. The craft’s brightness reportedly surpassed that of a full moon, and its irregular flight pattern suggested no known human-made aircraft.
The observer, who claimed sobriety and clear vision, was the sole witness – leaving no immediate corroboration. However, the detailed description and video evidence have drawn attention from civilian UFO research groups and, inevitably, sceptics.
NUFORC officials initially considered whether the sighting could be linked to a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch earlier that day. However, the rocket had launched from Florida three hours prior, making it an unlikely culprit.
Past incidents, such as a March 2024 sighting in the United Kingdom, were later attributed to frozen rocket fuel reflecting sunlight – a phenomenon that creates spiral or hexagonal light formations. But in this case, the timing and location don’t align neatly with known space activity.
From Twentynine Palms to Sycamore Knoll: Experts demand answers
This sighting came just days before a high-profile congressional hearing on UAPs, where former Pentagon UFO investigator Luis Elizondo and other experts demanded greater transparency from the U.S. government. Elizondo and his colleagues argue that military and intelligence agencies possess classified data on unexplained aerial phenomena but refuse to disclose it to the public.
Currently, civilian witnesses have no official government channel to report UFO sightings. Instead, they rely on organizations like NUFORC and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which operate independently but occasionally share data with authorities. Critics argue this lack of a centralized reporting system allows countless sightings to go unverified – or worse, buried.
Adding to the intrigue, some citizens have recently pointed to the mysterious disappearance of an alleged “UFO base” off California’s coast on Google Maps. Sycamore Knoll, an underwater landmark, was abruptly blurred out this April, fuelling speculation about government cover-ups. While some dismiss this as a technical glitch, others see a deliberate effort to conceal unexplained activity.
The Twentynine Palms sighting is not an isolated incident. Over the past decade, military pilots, commercial airline crews and civilians worldwide have reported encounters with UAPs exhibiting flight characteristics beyond known human technology. The U.S. government has slowly acknowledged these reports, yet official explanations remain vague.
