Description: This is a picture of Red Mountain, near Johannesburg, California, and I was facing north. To the northeast is the China Lake Naval Weapons Station, near Ridgecrest. I was simply taking a picture of the mountain itself, so cannot list any witnesses, etc. It was Jan. 1, 2004 at around 11:00 am. The object is in the upper right corner of the picture. © M. Burdick
