Azusa/crystal lake campground (near cafe)


Me and my girlfriend were camping in Azusa from 06/04/24 to 06/06/24, the campsites near the cafe (A,B,C, loop). There were some restrooms near us with a generator running 24/7 to power the lights around the restroom. On Wednesday the 5th, our second night there, around 10 pm a car started honking repeatedly. It wasn’t an alarm going off because there was no pattern. At first we ignored it and thought it was just some random person just being a jerk or someone arguing with his girlfriend/ boyfriend. After 25 honks, we thought what if there is a bear around and he’s trying to warn us. So we then looked outside the windows/flaps of the tent and we couldn’t see anything but the person in there car honking. We even turned off some led lights we had accidently left on near our portable restroom, thinking maybe it was bothering someone or maybe it would attract attention from whatever he/she was honking at. We laid back down and then heard an airplane pass overhead ( they pass very often) but this plane or whatever it was didn’t finish passing over us. That deep deafening sound was getting louder and louder. We both sat up and said to each other, “what the f is that?”. It was humming right over the campgrounds and It just kept getting louder. What little bit of light from the restrooms that entered our tent was changing colors. We could hear some like static sound outside jumping around our tent.(10:45) When I peaked out of our tent window, I was surprised at how bright it was outside, I could see across the way at the other campsites. There was only one or two other families in the area but they were about 100 yards away. There is no way that could be possible because we were just outside by our fire pit enjoying the stars prior to laying down and it was dark all around us except for the dim lights around the restroom (ran by a generator) which couldn’t have illuminated that far. (11 pm)As I looked out the windows trying to make sense of the sound and why it was so bright, everything glitched and got blurry I told my girlfriend to look outside once more and to explain what she saw.(11:15 pm) She immediately noticed how blurry everything got and then we saw a blue light pulsing right in the middle of the campsites. This could have been lights turned on by the campers across the way but it pulsed and was glowing blue with some bright white in the middle. We froze for a few seconds wondering what it could be and then thought to take a picture with our phones which we couldn’t find because we were moving stuff out of our way to look outside our tent windows. We couldn’t get any pics. The light disappeared after about a minute or two, but that humming sound that was right over us continued for at least 30 minutes.(12am) It had to be around midnight when my girlfriend found her phone (a potato) and I told her to just press video record to at least try to get the humming sound that we kept hearing. We were trying to lay back down by then. Fifteen minutes later I found my phone and started recording just in case we heard anything else. That’s when at around (2am) we heard little electrical crackles randomly around our tent and the generator get louder but slow down, speed up, and pulse. Kind of like an aphex twin song. By 3am we were exhausted and stopped recording when sure enough that humming passed over us once again. This time for only ten minutes. We stayed frozen waiting to hear anything else strange until finally getting up after birds started chirping and the sun started rising. We are currently reviewing 3hours of recording trying to identify all sounds that transpired.
