“Yes, I remember the story, and it’s not quite as described by some others here. It has also never been proven what the source of the original sightings were, nor never totally debunked.

Source: me. This story caught my attention within days of the “Rajman” sighting being posted. I was following everything on a discussion forum when it was being heavily discussed and analyzed and I was around when subsequent info was released: the “Big Basin” photos, the Isaac documents, etc. I got pretty sucked in and remember it all very well.

This is how it went down:

    1. A person going by the name of “Rajman” posted either a classified ad or a Craigslist post (I think it was Craigslist) with the photos of it near a power pole asking “what the heck it was”?
    2. Prior photos from Tahoe and elsewhere were also found and discussed.
    3. Weeks or months later, a supposed sighting in Big Basin CA was posted by a photographer. The object in that sighting was more complex with more arms and spikes. It looked like a giant egg-beater.
    4. The story started to get regional and then nationwide attention. It was on a few news segments. I think what caught everyone’s attention was how the things looked, and the alien writing on them. It was nothing like any other UFO.
    5. A few months later, a man by the name of Isaac came forward and shared documents he supposedly smuggled out of a top secret back-engineering program. He shared this with Linda Moulton Howe and it was on Coast to Coast. The documents analyzed the alien writing and had very complex diagrams in it. His dump included some very clear looking photos of shiny parts with the writing on it, one of them with parts hovering in the air, supposedly due to anti-gravity effects.

    6. A group on a UFO forum pooled their money and hired private investigators to look into this. Eventually they found that the Big Basin and Rajman photos were not taken in the locations claimed. They were in the Bay Area but not in the cities/parks claimed. Here’s their site, still working: https://droneteam.com/
    7. Artists started releasing photos and videos they created of the objects. These were not the source. They came much later.
    8. The creators of Sarah Connor Chronicles found it interesting and used similar craft with the language in one of their shows. They were asked if they created the whole thing, and they adamantly said no. They just thought it was cool and were inspired to do something similar.
    9. Alienware started to theme their products with the same alien writing. They even include the typeface on their Windows installs (I think they still do– my three year old Dell/Alienware laptop has it). They also were very clear they didn’t originate it. They just liked it and used it on their products.

Eventually the story fizzled out. No one ever claimed to be the originator of this. No more claims of sightings every occurred to my knowledge.

Odds are it’s fake, but if so it’s the most elaborate hoax I’ve ever come across. Yes the craft look like they could be CGI. The writing could have been cobbled together from Japanese Katakana and other shapes. But who created this and why is still a mystery.”
