It almost looks like it is changing direction and every meteor I have ever seen goes straight across the sky.Last night a report came in from the research team of Scott and Suzanne Ramsey:
Currently the Ramsey's are on a research trip for their upcoming book on the "The Aztec UFO Crash"; they've gone back to the "Four Corners area of New Mexico," specifically in the little town of Cuba (as of last night).
According to Scott, while turning around in a parking lot, he noticed something in his peripheral vision on the horizon; as he stopped to get a better look at this object thinking it might be an aircraft of some sort, he motioned for Suzanne to look in the direction of the oncoming object; as the pair watched the object's color became apparent, and he described it as a "green orb." He said it flew past their position at what seemed to be a low altitude, and on a level trajectory.
The sun has long ago set on the New Mexico desert, and the night’s blackness has clamped itself onto every stunted tree, every shock of sagebrush, and every sandy rise. Owls, crickets, and coyotes sing unseen from the cooling shadows, and their voices move without form through the airy, inky nothingness.Continue reading --So, too, does something else—a ball of fire, burning lime green and bright, hurtling silently across the moonless sky for a few long seconds before disappearing. The fireball emits no discernible smoke, but its fiery course seems to trace a metaphorical question mark in the sky, punctuating a question first asked more than a century ago.
The first known accounts of airborne fireballs over New Mexico come from various old-time Spanish villages, and don’t generally describe the phenomena as being green. They do, however, agree that these fireballs were the transportation of witches. According to Jack Kutz’s 1988 Mysteries and Miracles of New Mexico, all a witch had to do was pick up an egg, a gourd, or a pumpkin, and she could “pop like a flashbulb and streak off in a fireball.”
I never quite realized that green fireballs were seen in NM all the way back in 1949. About 10 years ago I saw what at first I thought was a green fireball, but on closer inspection happened to be a powerful green laser shooting into the sky from Sandia/Kirtland AFB. It was supposedly used for some astronomy purpose was the rumor I heard after inquiring with a few people I thought might know the purpose. After that I assumed that probably all green fireball stories were really just lasers and people unfamiliar with lasers were mistaking them for something mysterious. However, there are several articles at the site where I got the one below that are also early reports. The laser wasn't invented until 1960 and I believe it was only the ruby laser which was red, it was several years after before there was a green laser so maybe that can't account for all green fireballs sightings.Los Alamos, New Mexico, Skyliner - 29 Feb, 1949
Flying Green Lights Alert Constabulary
By THE OBSERVER
Shades of the flying saucers!
Los Alamos now has flying green lights.
These will 'o wisps seen generally about 2 a. m., have alerted the local constabulary and their presence is being talked about in Santa Fe bars.
But local wheels deny any official knowledge of the sky phenomena. Each one passes the buck to another.
FBI Denies
A call to El Paso, Tex., brought official denial from D. K. Brown, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation district that embraces Los Alamos, that his agency had not been called to deal with the matter.
At the information or thought-control office officials indicated that they knew about the recurring green flame in the sky but indicated that it wouldn't be wise to write about it.
Capt. Carroll Tyler, project manager, said simply that all he knew about the lights was rumor -- the same rumors that everyone is hearing.
Call the Army
At the thought-control office the general reaction was that the matter was out of AEC jurisdiction and the best way to find out what was going on was to call Kirtland Field.
A call to Kirtland showed that an Army captain who asked that his name not be used because he didn't know anything, didn't know anything. He was eager to learn, though.
No Speculation
Official reaction was the same on the Hill except for the atmosphere of secrecy that has been thrown about a matter discussed in every saloon and drawing room from here to Santa Fe.
There was even no speculation. Could these be visitors from Mars or from the Russias [sic]? No answer.
But enough competent observers had told this observer that there was indeed something in the wine.
Shott [sic] Down Venus
And something much more tangible than the time last summer when one of the local security officers ordered out tanks and jet planes from Kirtland Field to shoot down a light low on the horizon that happened to be Venus, a well-known planet.
The jet pilots, trigger fingers ready, were disgusted at that alarm. Maybe that's why they're now querying the green lights.
Have you seen a green light lately?
