Witness was camping along the Pedernales River when he observed a black, diamond-shaped craft with blue, red, and white triangular panels and a clearly lit recessed bottom, surrounded by 12 military-style double-rotor helicopters apparently in escort. The craft was first seen about a mile away, then moved over his head at approximately 100-200 feet altitude, traveling SE to NW at about 30 mph. No sound except from the helicopters. The top of the craft appeared pyramidal with facet angles of 25-30°, and 6 panels composed each half of the underside.
