Initial data
Jeremy (fictitious name) and his girlfriend decided to go on a night adventure with a backpack. Their destination was Mount Laguna (an unincorporated area of San Diego), but a wildfire in Julian blocked Route 78, so they took an alternative route and stumbled upon the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. They arrived at the park at 17: 00.
He had never walked or traveled in the park, so Jeremy went to the visitor center, got the necessary information and set off on his way to the Culp Valley campground. The Culp Valley Campground is approximately 3,500 feet above sea level. He stopped at a tent camp, loaded his backpacks and set off. Because of the overnight settlement, they only walked about 1 mile.
They set up a tent about 20 feet (6 m) north of the trail. At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the night moon disappeared behind the mountains surrounding the desert. it was pitch dark, and Jeremy's girlfriend was asleep. Unable to sleep, Jeremy just stared at the starry sky. Suddenly, he heard a man's voice, he looked in the direction he was coming from, and saw a green light being waved back and forth. He immediately thought it was a park ranger.
The light was about 50 yards (45 m) east of his tent. He could tell that the one who used the green light to guide someone along the path. The green light was getting closer and closer to the tent, probably not directly to the tent, but along a path about 20 feet (6 m) away from it. The tent was set up on a small slope looking down on the trail. The green light disappeared, and Jeremy panicked.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge amount of light illuminated the path 20 feet (6 m) from where he was. He was terrified. At that moment, no one was talking, and he did not hear footsteps, but he saw a huge amount of white light. The light was approaching the path next to his tent. He immediately crouched down and lay down in the tent in fear.
Then he looked out of the tent and saw 12 to 15 humanoid figures that looked like people, but some were very tall, and the rest were really very short with large bald heads. The tall figures were dressed in white cloaks, and the short ones were naked. In horror and with a pounding heart, Jeremy watched as the creatures walked very gracefully and slowly, turning their heads from left to right with each step. All of them held metal rods in their hands, similar to guns, which emitted a powerful white light. They didn't seem to pay attention to the tent and "peacefully" passed by the tent.
The witness remained lying down and was silent while the creatures "walked" past the tent. Eventually, the light went out, and the creatures continued on their way and disappeared. Terrified, he woke up his girlfriend after 10 minutes, because he didn't want the creatures to hear their conversation.
The next day, he told the ranger about what had happened, and the ranger wrote it down in the report, suspecting that it was some kind of religious cult (!)

Terrified and his heart pounding Jeremy watched the beings walk very gracefully and slowly, turning their heads from left to right with each footstep. They were all holding metal rod like implements which emitted a powerful white light. They seemed to ignore the tent and walked “peacefully” by the tent.
