- HBCC UFO Research Note: Reports
from Clovis, New Mexico have been coming in from a number of different
people. I am waiting on a detailed description of a "burn spot"
in the open field that yielded a strangely shaped piece of metal (very
light and strong) that was confiscated by authorities. The witness also
saw the tracks of pads in the field that were immediately covered over
and he was interrogated by authorities (not local) during the event and
much, much more coming.
-
- Also I will be posting the black and
white photo of a UFO taken over the Cannon AFB tomorrow.
-
- A gentleman called me from Clovis, New
Mexico on Sunday June 18, 2006 (Father's day). Since I was out at the time
the call came in, my daughter took the fellows name and phone number and
told him I would call Monday, June 19, 2006.
-
- I did telephone the man on Monday, June
19, 2006 and had a wonderful conversation with him, plus took an amazing
report over what he and a close friend of his saw that night. The
fellow also gave me the name of his buddy and another name of someone else
who was witness to strange events that night also. I should point out that
he also knew of others who saw the unusual objects over the two nights
back in January of 1976. The fellow called after reading the Clovis News
Journal as they carried a large article on the events that took place over
the Cannon AFB in New Mexico.
-
- The witness and his friend were out hunting
coyotes just south (some 6 or 7 miles) of Clovis, New Mexico on a
dirt road.
- As they drove down the dirt road they
both observed a light low over the horizon. Wondering what it was, as it
appeared to look out of the norm, they decided to investigate. They knew
there wasn't any bright stars that close to the horizon at least at this
time of the year and at that time. As they watched, the light did not move
and again the gentleman impressed upon me that what ever this light was,
"it was low"!
-
- Eventually they started traveling
towards the light and finally got positioned right underneath it.
The witness said it was a blue/green blinking light. They both were so
fascinated by what they were seeing above them, and the light sitting stationary
above at approximately 300 yards they got out of the truck. The object
was not making a sound, he said, it was dead quite! There wasn't even a
breeze that evening and they estimated they sat underneath the object for
approximately 5 minutes.
-
- Since the men both had rifles with
them, the witness I talked with grabbed his 30-06 rifle and took a shot
at the object and believes he put a round into it. As soon as the fellow
fired and the impact of the shell struck the craft it immediately started
to move straight north. They both jumped back into the truck and started
to head north towards Clovis following the object. The driver got
the truck up to it's top speed which was running at 120 miles per hour
and the object was pulling away from the two men in their truck.
He said is was moving alot faster than they were able to travel. They estimated
it had to be traveling at 200 miles an hour or better. The object changed
it's direction of travel by turning in a slight curve and it was now heading
in the direction towards Texico, New, Mexico. As they still were traveling
at a high rate of speed along the dirt road they said they could see the
highway which was approximately two miles away from them, and
it, it meaning the object.
-
- Still keeping their eyes peeled on this
strange light/craft, they saw a local Sheriff traveling along
the highway east towards Texico from Clovis in his squad car,
with the car's emergency lights flashing. The men figured the Sheriff
was from either Texico or Farwell, New, Mexico. As they watched the
object it shone a bright light down onto the Sheriff's squad car,
completely flooding the squad car with light, then the object shot straight
up at an incredible rate of speed and disappeared.
- It just shot up into space and it was
gone!
-
- He told me he sat by quietly because
he figured it might have been a military aircraft and he just put a bullet
into the thing, not wanting to get into any trouble over shooting it. Also
he mentioned after he saw the object doing all these strange maneuvers
he was glad he placed a bullet into it.
-
- He also told me that they watched the
lights on the first night they were being reported in the area with
his cousin, and the lights moved erratically all over the night
sky. So once again this shows that these unusual lights were around for
two nights like everyone has been reporting.
-
- The witness also mentioned that he spoke
to another man who taught at the Clovis Community College (name
was given) and he watched the object/lights travel right behind the man's
property which was north of Clovis. This fellow reported that the object
was long/cigar in shape.
-
- There was more the gentelman reported
which was again very interesting.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.
