TO WHERE QR? anO@MMRAP WERE LOCATED (10 MILES

NORTH OF LAS CRUCES. THEY HAD SEEN TWO LIGHTS RISE

FROM THE TOP OF THE ORGAN MOUNTAINS. OFFICER

TARAZON NOTICED THE LIGHT FIRST AS HE THOUGHT IT WAS ‘
A FIRE ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. WHILE TALKING TO THE

POLICEMEN ANOTHER LIGHT APPREARED ON THE TOP OF THE

MOUNTAIN, RISING SLOWLY, PERHAPS 1,949 FT. PER j

INUTE. THE LIGHT ROSE UNTIL IT WAS LOST IN THE

CLOUD BANK.

IT IS THE OPINION OF THIS OFFICER, T/SGT ALBRO,

AND OTHER U.S. AIR FORCE PERSONNEL INVOLVED THAT THE

OBJECT OBSERVED WAS MERELY A STAR RISING FROM BEHIND

THE MOUNTAINS, THE TWO PREVIOUS OBJECTS WERE SIGHTED

AT THE SAME POINT AND IT IS OUR CONCLUSION THAT THESE

WERE ALSO STARS. |
