05/02/2026 NOT a drone. Cottonwood Canyon, out past Red Rocks, 30 miles outside the outskirts of Las Vegas in the ATV recreation area at Cottonwood Pass Rd. off SR160 From 1:40 am to about 3:40 am Two sightings in one night: A friend and I went on a night hike, we saw what could pass as a drone or plane in the sky. But listen, and there’s no sound. Then noticed 5-7 of these objects throughout the walk, which glow brighter than a planet when further away. And they’re were making circular movements and going back and forth in their trajectory, disappear of a hillside them sure enough, they’d backtrack. When we got closer, later in the hike - we noticed their “lights” pulsated like a bioluminescence jellyfish - and their shape is hexagonal, maybe more sides than that. And they’re brighter than planets, drifting effortlessly like a drone or satellite would in orbit — but closer. They do move freely but operate minimally when intently being looked at. My narrative in the first clip is simply my friend and I trying to pontificate what we were seeing, before we got close to another and made out the descriptions that I shared above. Second sighting is stitched/added after the first via imovie, she went home and I camped on the hillside, I believe what I captured is all the probing vehicles or or biological moving entities working and moving together in the night sky. They were flashing, blinking, moving overtop the Red Rocks recreation area. submitted by /u/WindshipPirate [link] [comments]
