While working at Navajo Dam (in northwest New Mexico), we were pushing a
tunnel under the parking lot at the west end of the dam, in order to drain off
excess water, which was collecting between the dam's face and the surface of the
rock on which the dam rested. This tunnel was being drilled by Frontier Kemper
Company.
My job was to be medical support, and the company had its own ambulance,
along with enough emergency medical technicians to man that position any time
that men were working. It was my lot to work "grave shift" for many months, and
during one of those long night shifts, I experienced an odd sight, which I have
never quite explained to myself.
Coming out of the First Aid office at about 2 am, I walked over to the dry room
(shower room) to check some batteries which were on a charger, and as I started
back, I looked up toward Navajo Dam, as our buildings were just below the dam.
To my amazement, there was a huge object, slowly floating over the top of the
dam, and presenting as a "circle of lights" almost spanning the width of the
entire dam.
I knew the thing was huge and watched it as it advanced, with the large
circle of "starlight color" blue lights, strobing slowly from the leading edge
of it, on toward the back. There were also two "ruby color" lights, centered top
and bottom.
As the thing slowly advanced, I became aware of the sounds of geese on the
river, directly behind me, so I reasoned that this thing was very quiet.
Perhaps. I thought. this thing is at high altitude, but logic insisted that if
it was at high enough altitude to be silent, then it must be as big as a city.
The lights advanced until almost directly over me, and then slowly turned to the
east and coasted out over the nearby mesa. As the thing passed over, I was aware
that I could always see the top and bottom "ruby colored lights" at every angle,
thus the thing must be transparent.
Another random thought was, "Can
this thing be a hologram? Is it projected from somewhere else?"
The thing moved slowly to the east until it disappeared behind the mesa,
but a few minutes later, I saw two circles of lights, very small and appearing
to be very high (and from this distance) saw no "ruby colored lights" at any
angle. The two made their way generally downstream high above the San Juan River
and eventually out of my line of vision. The speed of departure was not
remarkable at all.
Finishing my shift, I talked to my relief man about the sighting and
grieved a bit that "company policy" forbade us to have a camera on site at this
"government run job." When I got home, I shared the story with my wife, and went
to bed.
When my wife returned from work, she showed me a little news article in
the Farmington Daily Times, concerning a lady near Bloomfield, New Mexico,
having seen the same sighting that I had, except that she reported the thing to
have landed behind her home.
What did I see? I have no idea what it was, but having flown with the
Air Force for much of my 20 years of military service, I could not identify what
I saw, and I must admit that this was my first sighting that I could not explain
away, utilizing past experience. Was it a UFO? Well, sure it was. It was not
"identified" and it was up there in the night sky, and it moved.
Was it a real object? I'd say it was real enough that I have never
forgotten it, and if one digs through the newspaper files, there were several
calls to the authorities that night, wondering about the strange sight, and an
interesting story in the Daily Times, concerning the lady seeing the object or
objects, near Bloomfield, and I suspect that she hasn't forgotten the sight
either.
