A group of friends were camping at Joshua Tree National Park. During a night hike, they all experienced unexplained phenomena & physical anomalies. The experiencer is seeking answers.
I received the following account:
"About five years ago me and a group of friends went exploring Joshua Tree National Park in California. We were there for a weekend. Now me and my friends are really into going to areas where no one else would go.
On this particular night, we decided to do a night hike. We all agreed to go in one direction and go straight to not get lost, basically walk in a straight line so if we turned around we knew camp would be in that direction back. We hiked for about 4 hours in this direction. The night was fairly well-lit by the full moon, and we could see so many stars in the night sky, it was incredible, to say the least. As we were hiking we were all talking about scary stories and supernatural things that had happened to us. We continued to walk and I decided we should climb up one of the many boulders to see what was up ahead, any noticeable landmarks.
When we got halfway up one of these massive boulders we started to hear something that sounded like a helicopter. At first, we thought it could have been search and rescue since they might have seen our flashlights from a distance, the vibrations felt like a helicopter was getting closer and closer. The closer the sounds/vibrations got the more powerful these vibrations started to get, to the point that they were so overwhelming that it started tickling all over our bodies really hard, this reaction started making us all laugh uncontrollably. The mixture of fear and uncontrollable laughing was a wave of emotions I’d never felt in my entire life. I remember all of us looking at each other and yelling at the top of our lungs, "What the hell was going on." Of course, it was hard to speak because of the vibration and tickling that was making all of us laugh uncontrollably.
There was a point where it suddenly stopped, and it felt like a helicopter was right on top of us. The best way I can describe it was like being in the eye of a hurricane because in the center of where the noise was it was calm but about 15 feet in every direction dust and debris were swirling around and we were in the middle where the air felt dense. The helicopter sound and vibrations sounded very muffled at this point and the laughing and vibration got less intense. We were all looking up above us because it felt like something was hovering over us. But when we would look up there was nothing. No aircraft no nothing but we knew we were in the middle of some type of vortex. At one point I remember all of us talking to each other but our voices were very muffled like listening to someone talk with your hands over your ears. The last thing I remember was looking at all my friends and us starting to walk towards each other.
The next thing I knew I was waking up back at camp. I was the first to wake up. The weird thing was that after we all woke up we just got to pack up and started to drive off back home halfway on the way home something ticked into my brain and I brought up if anyone remembered what had happened the night before. Suddenly all of us remembered, and we started talking about it. The freaky and weird thing about this experience is that none of us remember how we got back to camp or even walking back to camp. Each of us remembered everything slightly differently but the one thing we can all agree on was that none of us remembered how we got back to camp since we were hours away from the campsite.
I was also left with a physical mark on my hand that I’d never had before the incident, between my middle finger and index finger. I started to feel a small lump that I have to this day. I haven’t been checked by doctors because I don’t want to sound crazy. I’m looking at it as I write this letter.

To this day none of us know exactly what happened. Everyone else moved on with their lives none of us really talked about it. I’m basically the only one who wants to figure out what really happened that night. The rest of my friends kind of shut me up every time I bring it up. I am still left with questions, after that incident years later.
I returned to what I thought was the area where it happened. I went there alone during the day, and I got to the spot where I think it happened. Nothing looked familiar except the only familiar thing wasn’t scenery or any landmarks but that dense air feeling I felt being in the middle of that vortex. But nothing happened that day.
A few years later I went back with one of my friends who was there. Curiosity got to us and we walked in the direction we experienced that. But nothing happened, not even that feeling of dense air. After that experience I had weird and strange things happen to me mostly at night when I’m by myself, and a few times with friends.
I once hiked up Santiago Peak here in Orange County, California with my friend JR (he wasn’t there for the Joshua Tree incident). We noticed a strange blueish-dim light following us, couldn’t have been more than 100 feet in the air. It was about the size of a small drone but there was no sound.
I really don’t know what to make of this, I haven’t shared this with many other people. I wrote to you in the hope that maybe you’ve heard of a similar story or of people having similar experiences. I’m very reluctant to tell other people because when I would share with other friends they laugh it off and I hate it when they make me feel crazy. My other friends who were there won’t back me up and refuse to speak on it. Please let me know if you have heard of anything similar anything that can give me some answers." JM
NOTE: I talked briefly with the witness today, and we plan to talk more this coming weekend. I have received a variety of unexplained reports from the Joshua Tree National Park region, and I reported on many of these incidents. It does seem that JM and his friends encountered a vortex-like anomaly, which could have been the result of an otherworldly encounter.
As soon as I talk to JM again and gather more information, I will add the narrative to this post. If you have suggestions and/or thoughts son this, please feel free to contact me. Lon
