Full disclosure: I saw a UFO one afternoon in the summer of 1981.
I was driving through the curvy section of Highway 62 between Morongo Valley and Desert Hot Springs when a winged vessel, the likes of which I had never seen, flew between — not over — the hills, sandwiching the road. It paused and hovered for a moment, like a helicopter, and then accelerated faster than a Lear jet. By the time I got down the hill a minute later, it was gone. Without a trace.
I told a grocer in Morongo Valley about it and he wasn’t fazed. He said lots of people saw UFOs there. He attributed it to the Marine base in Twentynine Palms trying out experimental vessels.
I accepted that and just waited for that flying vehicle to be publicly unveiled. Three decades later, I’m still waiting.
