Light over Red Hill, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Sunday, Sept.22, while returning home from an RV vacation in New Mexico my wife and I saw something unusual. We were traveling west on Rt 60, in New Mexico, approximately 5 miles before reaching the AZ border. This sighting occurred around 1:45pm on a clear blue-sky afternoon. Looking straight ahead I saw this very bright white solitary object, traveling very fast across the blue-sky. It was traveling in a southerly direction. It had no discernable shape. My first thought was that it was a jet plane, but we saw no contrail and seemed too fast to be a jet plane. I said to my wife, “what’s that?”. We both watched as it streaked across the sky and then disappear into the horizon, all within about 10-12 seconds time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149048). 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.
