Light over Dexter, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While diving home from Roswell on HWY 285 between dexter and Hagerman two lights appeared to the west first thought helicopters then one darted up and the other went horizontal then reversed right back to their location then two more lights zipped in and they bobbed and weaved doing things normal plans don’t do . I was not in a position to stop my car and could not get to my phone to take a video this went on for 3 minutes give or take then they they darted to the west and were gone . And no flashing or blinking lights I grew up on air force bases.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150132). 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.
