Light over Abiquiu, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
2 witnesses spotted several orange and white lights bobbing and flying erratically in the sky. Specifically 2 orange flying objects that appeared slightly larger than the stars around it were clearly not stationary stars as they were moving in all directions and return to a centra area. Cascading from the orange objects there were several smaller formations that seemed to be ejecting from the primary orange object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158780). 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.

Lights were red and dispersed into many lights moving side to side in a line over the cliff. There was a sound too. Like a metallic clicking or tapping.

Abiquiu, NM
On Saturday, June 12, 2021 at about 9:30 PM (about 30 minutes to an hour after sunset), while camped at the Corps of Engineers campground at Lake Abiquiu, NM, and facing north at Camp Site 36, I saw a royal blue orb moving from the middle of the sky to the north until it reached the hills toward the town of Abiquiu. Once it reached the hills, it adjusted its trajectory, rose above the hills and disappeared from view. The speed seemed about the same as a typical aircraft. The size was larger than a typical aircraft—perhaps 20 percent of the size of the typical full moon.
