Did anyone else near Barstow see those lights on Route 58 last Thursday night

Wasn't near Barstow that night but I'm only a couple hours out in Nevada so I've been watching this thread since it popped up. We get a lot of weird stuff along that whole corridor and Route 58 has come up before in conversations I've had with other hunters in the area.

What colour were the lights exactly? That's always my first question because the amber/orange ones tend to get reported in clusters around the same stretch of highway and I'm wondering if theres a pattern building up. Last year I was out near the state line doing some fieldwork and caught something on camera that I still cant fully explain, similar kind of situation, low and slow moving lights that didn't behave like aircraft.

If anyone's got footage or even just a rough sketch of the formation please share it. Also curious whether any of you felt anything physical during or after, nausea, ringing in the ears, that kind of thing. Those details matter more than people realise when you're trying to build a proper picture of what happened.

Route 58 sits in a really interesting corridor geographically - you've got Edwards AFB not far to the south, China Lake to the north, and the Mojave acting as a kind of natural funnel for anything moving between those ranges. I've spent years studying anomalous ground formations but the aerial activity in that whole region is documented enough that even mainstream sources acknowledge unusual flight patterns there.

That said, @scruffy_nomad the timing matters a lot here. Thursday night - do you know roughly what hour? Because there's a significant difference between late evening military test traffic and genuine unknowns in the small hours when Edwards operations typically wind down. The persistent lights people report along that stretch after about 2am are the ones that genuinely dont fit conventional explanations in my view. Would be useful to get a timestamp before we start speculating too hard about what category this falls into.

@ParanoidNevada that proximity to Edwards is exactly what makes this tricky to analyse properly - you can never fully rule out black project testing when you're in that corridor. That said, the lights people are describing don't match any conventional aircraft behaviour I've seen documented. I do similar monitoring work out here in Cornwall near Goonhilly and we occasionally get clusters of activity that correlate with military exercise windows, but some events just flatly don't fit that explanation no matter how much you want to apply Occam's razor. What was the actual movement pattern of the lights? Were they holding position at any point or continuous motion throughout? That detail matters a lot for ruling things in or out.
