Lights over Mt Baldy California 1957 as seen by ten honest men

About ten guys were eating lunch in back of the machine shop were we worked in Temple City CA.  At that time there was a lot of talk about flying sausers.  Someone said look up there towards Mt Baldy there are two bright lights, just like stars only its at noon time.  We watched them for about 15 minutes and then two jets Edwards AFB came up from the other side of the mountain and hesded straight to the lights.  As they approched them the lights started to go to the east aat the same speed as the jets for a few seconds and then sped up to about three times the speed of the jets then disapeered out of sight to the east adn the jets returned to Edwards.
When the lights Started to move they didn't accelerate they just instantly going the speed of the jets and the same when they were going three times the speed of the jets
Date is approximate.  PD
