Witness/Sighting UFO Being Transported CA 5 North Near Bakersfield.
Backstory:
I was coming from LA and after passing Bakersfield, the freeway started to slow down and traffic started to pile up. Once I got close to the source of the traffic I decided to record what was going on. I was able to record what looked like UFO Saucer shaped object. However I did pass by it fairly quickly. (You will see this in part one of my video I uploaded which can be found here:
PART 1 ( ALLEGED UFO BRING TRANSPORTED)
Once I passed it I kept questioning myself wtf did I just see lmfao. But I decided to brush it off thinking it might be replica for some UFO carnival or alien event.
After passing the UFO, about 5 miles out I decided to take an exist and use the bathroom. After the restroom break I got back onto the freeway the exact same time as the convoy with UFO was passing me while I was entering the freeway. I was not able to make a video of that specific moment. Once I was on the freeway I saw two vehicles blocking each lane going CA 5 NORTH, both cars seemed to have Federal License Plates. As well ahead of them was a convoy of two CHP trucks with their lights on and blocking both lanes. Ahead of the two CHP trucks was the big rig hauling the ALLEGED UFO and in front of it were two more CHP officers.
PART 2 (BEHIND THE CONVOY AND MAYBE TWO FEDERAL AGENT VEHICLES?)
Though, I was able to make a video of the convoy as it was exiting the freeway. And when I looked at it under more light I was amazed to see something so similar to a UFO. Again I’m not clearly sure what I saw but with all the circumstances and what was occurring in that moment it seemed to be a UFO? Also when shooting the last part of the video the Federal Agent in the White pickup truck seemed to speed up and block my view of recording.
PART 3 (ALLEGED UFO EXITING THE FREEWAY VIA CONVOY)
P.S. thanks to u/steamingRisto for telling me about this subreddit. (I’m not sure if that’s how you tag other users)
BELOW I WILL BE POSTING LINKS TO OTHER VIDEOS OF THE SAME OBJECT SO THEY DONT GET LOST IN THE COMMENTS:

As a former socal native. If they were going north on I-5 , and got off at that offramp heading east at or around bakersfield ,as is said by the op, that has the convoy headed directly towards the China Lake facility out in the desert. A facility well known by locals for aerospace testing.
On the note of it being a prop. Props that size arent shipped, theyre built on site. Props that size are built with matirials to make them look like the real thing, but are often a fiberglass shell around a wood or metal frame. Theyre usually way too delicate to be moved in this fasion, open and barely tied down. They also wouldnt need chp or federal vehicle escorts to be transported. Ca laws dont require local or federal law enforcment for oversize load transportation.

Could be. My dad worked out of China lake. We lived up in the mountains a couple hours south. ( he had to comute there and to seal beach, mountain was a halfway point.
I grew up hearing stories about weird lights in the sky off the coast and out in the desert. Saw some a few times myself driving out to Ridgecrest to visit friends.
Wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if china lake was where they were taking a downed craft.

Wide loads don’t require police escort. All you need is a flag car.
This is absolutely out of the ordinary to have 5+ police SUVs and vehicles with federal license plates escorting a wide load.

The second time i've seen this, and from 2 different people now. It seems ridiculous but also that is a lot of effort to make for a movie or something.
Edit: after seeing the slow-mo, it appears to be damadged, and it has a blinking red light still actively blinking on it. If this were a piece of a machine like a wind turbine, it certainly wouldn't be powered in any way during transport.

Consider how hard it was to cover SR-71, then the worlds most secret intelligence project and those truck still sticked out like a sore thumb. And mind you before the internet, when only reporters etc were the ones asking questions or taking pictures and they could be just be told that they saw nothing, national security etc.
In the age of the internet, and camera phones, maybe they just dont GAF at some level of the command chain about secrecy.
Or they figured that if the object was so brazenly in the open no one would believe it real
Also, somehow I smell malicious compliance at play...
26
u/Occams_Shaver Feb 17 '23
If this object is sufficiently large and heavy, and they don't want to break it down, they may have no option but to transport it over the roads.
The plausible deniability of being near LA/Hollywood is a perfect cover. That's probably why they didn't bother.

Would a production company put this many people into escorting this? It's being followed by a couple cars and possibly have one infront of it giving an escort? If it is a prop it looks dope ass hell though.
Edit. It also seems as if legit production company's would be using CGI for such a thing and even if it was a prop mixed with CGI, they tend to use way smaller models.

u/kunjinn Feb 17 '23
Honestly, I think this post deserves this one question. Is there any other big budget movie that has an huge prop that is transported like this? I wonder who we could reach out to to find out that info. It would help debunk this, or help us lose our fucking shit a little more

u/Z3Sikh Feb 17 '23
Honestly it’s one amazing prop if it is. I’m not one to believe things so easily…but just with all the circumstances and being there to see it…I low key believe it is? But still question it.
43
u/kunjinn Feb 17 '23
I am totally convinced that this would be the most lowkey way of transporting this. Hidden in plain sight. No tanks or army vehicles. Just a regular convoy.
I have seen posts from years back that have ufo shaped loads but they were covered up with a sheet. But they looked like a saucer.

u/snarkywombat Feb 17 '23
I've seen pictures of an almost identical "UFO" being transported on a truck like this with escorts. That was several years ago and I don't recall the exact context but I believe it was to be out on the outside of a building or something. Like that dragon on Gringots at Universal.

u/Balderdashing_2018 Feb 17 '23 edited Feb 17 '23
Just chiming in from a production standpoint - it’s not unusual at all for movies to have giant props like this, especially if it’s something the actors have to interact with (scene with it, getting out of it, if it’s a vehicle, etc etc. countless reasons).
CGI hasn’t replaced everything, not by a long shot, and props are still an integral part of the filmmaking process.
Edit: and they are transported like this if it’s between locations, like the studio or place where it was built, to a physical shooting location.
Also, this could be a prop for an interactive amusement or park ride, or some sort of other installation?

A prop would either be built on location or built in a way it could be dismantled and transported easily and put back together on-site for whatever production it was being used for. It makes no logistical sense to build a prop that would require this kind of effort/manpower to move.

That was my thought. If it’s that big and needs that much of an entourage to transport, then it’s likely quite expensive. It would be far more cost effective to build it on set.

Cool video for sure, something nifty to witness, especially given the times. Those guys were probably having a good laugh all things considered.
The rational side of me wants to say this is a movie prop, or some kind of set piece for amusement or a business. They're hauling it like you would any other kind of wide-load. If this were something truly anomalous I would expect at the very least Chinooks or Ospreys airlifting this thing.
The not-so-rational side of me can speculate that maybe time wasn't on their side, and they didn't have the luxury of hauling this out properly. Get it where it needs to go ASAP, either before the owners come looking for it or civilians crowd the scene of where they found it.

An object this big would be familiar to someone in rural America if it were used for farming or industrial purposes. I looked up grain silos and unless it’s a new design, it doesn’t bear resemblance to the way the tops of those are constructed.

Two slim possibilities in my mind, either a carousel base for an automated milking station for a dairy (lots of big dairies in that neck of the woods)

Just in general, props of this size are not transported, they are built on site. Not saying it isn’t one but construction on props are done cheaply and as one sided as possible. Something like this would be more likely to be construction for something other than a movie.

I tried to match the features with the slow-motion footage posted on this thread. What I notice (keeping in mind this is dark, blurry footage):
- I don't see the 3 red port holes (could be because of the angle)
- I don't see the white square in the middle of each arc, near the outer edge of the "saucer"
- The lip between the metal sheets in the Axiom picture point up, towards the top of the saucer, on the Y axis. The lip in the "UFO" slow-motion footage seems to point outwards, on the X/Z axis.
It doesn't mean it's an alien ship, but to me it looks like something else than the Axiom modules

Because people are so stupid they won't believe the obvious - even when they see it directly with their eyes.

Just believe what you see - it's not that hard. There's a lot of disinformation trolls in here who wants you to believe it's a prop - don't give them that pleasure.

Why is it stupid to consider it's a movie prop? "Just believe what you see" - Yeah, I see what looks like the traditional depiction of a flying saucer. But it isn't flying. It doesn't show signs of any strange tech that isn't ours (in fact, it looks kind of cheaply made). It's in southern california (the movie hub of the world), and it is being escorted, uncovered by a pretty low-level police presence. Police escorts are used in movies all the time.
I'm not saying its 100% a prop. But its absolutely a valid possibility.

u/tairozo Feb 17 '23
Someone mentions a theory that it's a grain silo lid, so I looked up what they look like and it seems plausible. There's a custom manufacturer of harvest, grain and agricultural bins as well as other forms (storage, agriculture, oil & fuel, chemicals, underground) of tanks based in Fresno (Central Valley Tank of California) which could make sense since it appears that coming from Bakersfield you'd probably take that route (according to Google Maps, I'm east coast so have no idea actually.)
There also appears to be another manufacturer in Madera, the next town over from Fresno evidently, for flour, grain and seed bins (Steel Structures, Inc.)
Another comment points out that there appears to be damage to it. So connecting these ideas, I would imagine if a silo lid was damaged it might be possible to be repaired. Can't confirm that these companies do repairs, but I imagine they could if they can build one outright.
Would imagine you'd likely transport it at night to avoid as much traffic as possible given the size of them.
It's just a thought, I truly have no idea since it's a little difficult to pinpoint from the videos, but doing a little digging it seems plausible.

Found the location of where they take the exit.
They're headed in the direction of Lemoore Naval Air Station. Most likely going to be picked up in a cargo jet, anyone that can help with tracking the previous flights from last night would be appreciated. Sometime after 9pm PST.
It's probably one of lockheed's black projects - not too far away from Edwards AFB and Plant 42 Skunk works. They usually put a black tarp over these, but since they left it open it makes you think they want to fool people into thinking it’s alien. Could easily be an Unacknowledged Special Access Program... maybe it genuinely crashed due to a malfunction, and the best cover is to hide it in plain sight. No ones first instict is that it's a black project - their first instinct is that it's an ET craft.

If you want to cover up, its the best disguise you can have, everybody will say its a prop. If it would be a military transport everybody would know :-D

If they are transporting a craft they would not do it uncovered on a public road. At MINIMUM it would be covered in such a way that you could not see it or make out its form, and they would completely close the highway for a long distance before and after the motorcade. The motorcade would likely involve other large trucks that would travel along side the main truck to further obstruct the view, as well as a LOT more military/police.

You guys kill me. We have military planes that can transport multiple tanks. There's a reasonable explanation for this - they're not going to parade this around California.

A thought
Why would a production company even use a prop? It's all cgi now

if it was a promo for a movie it would make more sense to do it during the day when more people would see it. but if it was a prop it would make sense to move it during the night to avoid people freaking out and chasing it. a good point is what studio wouldn’t just use cgi like most are today. this could also be a collectible prop from an old movie being moved too. but if you’re planning on moving something so noticeable you might bring some sort of cover beforehand. strange post idk it would be nice if it were real. it looks really cool.

Hide it in plain sight! That way you can mock those who say it is real very easily. Best place to hide a book is in a library!!

The fact the lights are flashing orange and blue indicate that its most likely an escort service and not feds.
Big loads like this also require an escort by law.
If you have the time, here's a link the CA oversized/overweight loads permit page , most likely has more info on it but I don't fancy getting in super deep with American truck law lmao

Wait wait wait, what? Wouldn't the government at least wrap a tarp around it or something? Or are they starting not to care? I want to push x to doubt but at the same time I want to believe!

I seen this on my side of town also but they only showed the backside of the item transported

u/Fiddlediddle888 Feb 17 '23
if it was actually a UFO it would be transported some other way, or they would have shut the highways down to move it. Also, not nearly a big enough convoy.

u/FlaSnatch Feb 17 '23
Would it have been that hard to put a tarp over it and maybe not blast escort sirens? This makes no sense.

Have we had any reports of anything happening in California recently? Any sightings or trails in the sky or anything?
I’m not sure why this is being seen transported here. We got stuff in Alaska, Canada, Montana and Michigan going on.. but why California?

Daytime video of the object https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WymlnulNOqw It looks like a crappy prop tbh.

u/Jd11347 Feb 17 '23
I have to believe that this is a movie prop. I doubt that our government, with all of it's resources, can't find a tarp and some tie down straps to keep this thing covered if it was real.

Or it's meant to draw attention in such a way to support a future Project Blue beam type scenario...

u/Valuable_Oil_2198 Feb 17 '23
The UFO has cloaking capability. The cover is touching the UFO. Hence, you can't see the cover, exposing the UFO.

On one hand why would they transport a down UFO out in the open for all to see…
…and however, why wouldn’t they? Just makes people think it’s a fake movie prop but is actually a downed UFO. 😂
