Light over Tome, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I live in Tome, New Mexico, with my 11 acres of farm land right up against the Rio Grande bosque. Very regularly, at about 9 or 10 pm, when i look west towards the bosque, i can see 1 or two orange colored lights hovering just above the treeline, and at times very clearly flying into the canopy. The orange lights seem to be about 5 to 10 feet in diameter and it moves completely silently. Almost every time i see the lights, they are heading south, and when they start to get close to Belen (a town just south of me) they vanish instantly and completely. I see them almost every night and was wondering if its a normal occurance or something strange that my brother and i have seen.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
