SIGHTING: LEE VINING, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"This is the 2nd time I've seen what appears to be the same object. The first time it was traveling due south, this time due west. I spotted it just before it passed behind the mountain. The best way to describe the shape is to think of a Twinkie, but a bit narrower at the top, and the bottom is convex (rounded) instead of flat. It's white, with well defined edges. It doesn't look irregular, but appears to be engineered. I was standing at 7900' elevation looking south towards a nearby mountain (11,000+ ft) that forms part of the canyon I was in. The object caught my eye three or four seconds before it passed behind this mountain. It appeared to be moving fast. From where I stood, the summit of the mountain is not visible (I'm too close), so it's difficult to say if the object passed behind the mountain or over it.It moves in a straight line and doesn't appear to climb or descend. I almost didn't report this second incident (after reporting the first) because both events were rather unremarkable. Same mountain, but coming from different sides of it."
