In a post on X Chris Bledsoe showed a video, apparently from the recent Contact in the Desert event, where he claims he predicted an orange light would appear below the clouds at 9:45pm. This would have been at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort, Indian Wells, CA on Sunday, June 1, 2025, 9:45pm PDT.

Patrick from the Vetted podcast made a post saying he was there and people thought it was just a plane.

I have asked Patrick to confirm the location and date, but American Air flight AAL2709 would have been basically due North from the resort at that time, coming in for landing at KPSP (so landing lights would be on), and it turned NW at 9:47 when the light disappears in the video.

Here's a sitrec of AA2709 from the hotel. Seems a bit low, but then we don't have context video. It's 10 miles away and only 4000 feet, descending.

Location of the viewing party was given as
33.72227° N, 116.32307° W

A field a the East end of the resort, with a single story parking structure (with lights)directly to the North.

He posted three photos

This is from a drone video. I think they are in the area to the left of the tennis courts. Here, right is north.

I think this photo is looking towards the east gates (open, above, but closed here, witht he plam trees on the right. being on the road

Yeah that does seem too low on the horizon hmm.

No, just passing through in a straight line

So, just the normal lights on. In Bledsoe's video it looks bright, but as usual it's also out of focus, so hard to tell exactly what we're seeing. But the Vetted guy did say he just thought it was an aircraft.

Just checked the lines of sight from that video to confirm that they are towards the South-west, towards the PC-12 as shown ASDBx and sitrec. It all matches.

. Iall checks out ok....

Ezra Kelderman, Project Manager & Hardware Engineer for The Galileo Project, shares his experience of this event, which left him confused and scratching his head. He also mentions that the event drew a sizable crowd, estimating close to 1,000 attendees.

He also describes additional sightings observed during the event, including a particularly notable one involving two unidentified objects.

I found his apparent gullibility troubling, particularly when he described sitting through a presentation where a woman and her daughter performed blindfolded demonstrations, allegedly identifying colors and reading text from across the room with perfect accuracy.

If this is the caliber of individuals associated with The Galileo Project, I find it deeply concerning.

Chris Bledsoe, CE5 & UFO Witnessing: Ezra Kelderman's First-Hand Experience

There's nothing especially worthy of respect of any of the members of the Galileo Project, remember that it includes the Tedescos as contributors.

Catch-up on the Tedescos for those not familiar:

/Tedesco Brothers Radar Signal Paper/: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/tedesco-brothers-radar-signal-paper.13959/
Summary: the paper was warmly received with analysis such as "Words fail me", "Some of the writing almost seems like a parody of an actual journal submission.", "Reading this paper is a waste of time.", and "That document has some really fine scientifical gibberish.".

/News Nation - Light in the Sky video - Tedesco Brothers/: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/news-nation-light-in-the-sky-video-tedesco-brothers.13684/
Summary: They don't know a plane when they see one, and couldn''t read a compass even if their reputation depended on it. And when their many errors were pointed out to them, they got got in a flap.

It should be common knowledge that the Tedescos are in the Loeb-lobe of fringe science, but if not:
