A report sent to MUFON said the incident happened at Landers, California, during a major UFO event. 

The people reported seeing two light sources, that they believed could have been two objects, being tailed by the military aircraft.

The sighting happened at about 10pm local time on May 21, one day of the Contact in the Desert, three-day special event in Joshua Tree, California.
