A California couple and their son reported watching a "silver object" over Grapevine Canyon November 29 that broke apart into "a larger triangle of three silver balls," according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The daylight sighting began after the group watched a military jet go by. They report that the object then simply disappeared "in place."

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If California MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.

CA, November 29, 2009 - UFO Grapevine Canyon. MUFON Case # 22019.

On November 29, 2009 my husband, my son and I were out in Anza Borrego Desert exploring. We were in Grapevine Canyon; we stopped at 1:30 pm to eat lunch. We were close to the end of the canyon in an old Indian village looking around.

At approximately 1:54 pm we heard a military jet go by. We looked up and saw to the left of us a silver object.

It moved across the sky from left to right slowly, then it broke apart into what looked like a larger triangle of three silver balls.

It then moved slowly and went back to the smaller object which was a smaller triangle.

My husband yelled "UFO" and I started taking pictures.

What is weird with the three pictures I am sending to you is that in the third picture it does not take off and disappear...It disappears in place. The wires you see in the photos are telephone wires.

Grapevine Canyon is a sandy trail located between the Volcan Mountains and Grapevine Hills into Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Grapevine Canyon can be reached via a road that passes through private property off S22. Another access is from S22 through the Jasper Trail which is more towards the west end of the Grapevine Canyon.
