The vehicles are westbound on the 10 Freeway in Banning when the rocket’s plume begins to cut through the darkening sky. The driver in the vehicle with the camera and his children can be heard talking about the rocket in amazement while he slows for the wall of brake lights forming in front of them as other drivers take notice.
Moments after they drive under the South San Gorgonio Avenue overpass, a thud is heard and then a white four-door vehicle in the next lane is shoved into the car in front of it by a van that rear-ended it.
The white vehicle skids out of its lane and the car that it collided with is spun out onto the shoulder. The van also skids to a stop but remains in the far left lane. The vehicle that recorded the crash managed to escape without being hit.

Now, all you down-home people who mostly travel on two-lane roads are saying, "There was a wreck and he didn't stop or anything?"
The short answer is that it wouldn't be safe.

It’s amazing how many things the world would have missed if not for the smartphones’ captures.

Problem is that, the aliens in those UFOs know to erase any images and videos as soon as they are taken. Some images and videos do escape the aliens, but they always turn out to be grainy or fuzzy or too distant to make out. So, that proves that there is intelligent life visiting us, since they always manage to allude us or damage any pictures of videos from smartphones or any other type of camera.
