Unknown over Hernandez, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Lights appear and move rapidly and also advance closer to spectators, but once camera is within sight, they quickly move away. Some are red, but there is a very large white one. These sightings have occurred over the last 3 weeks or so. At first, thought it was unreal, but have been able to snap pictures. Sometimes the lights appear to rythmically "shake" or "dance". Sometimes they are high in the sky, just above the treeline, and even lower. Initially thought it was government activities because of the nearby facilities, but upon closer sightings that opinion has changed as the sightings are surreal and almost appear "alive ". I realize this sounds absurd, but it's the best description at this time. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133370). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
