SIGHTING: CIMARRON, NEW MEXICO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"The event took place at Miners Camp, Philmont Scout ranch, Cimmarron NM on the night of 4 July 2008. There were about 12 to 15 hiking crews with their tents set up in one area. Each crew is up to 12 people. I woke up about midnight and observed the object near my tent about 50' away. It was a round flat object, about the diameter of a car tire. It was moving slightly up and down and around in what could be described as hovering. It had 4 round glowing globes space at 12:00, 3:00,6:00 and 9:00. I could not tell if it had depth. It was about 25 feet in the air and I got the impression it was a scanning device. I watched it for about an hour then fell back asleep. I woke up a second time and it had turned slightly in what appeared to be an attempt to scan the field of tents that stretched out past mine. I watched it for another half hour and fell back to sleep. I woke up in the morning and there was no trace of it. I should mention that had I not had my tent fly rolled completely up to expose me to the cool night breeze, I would have never saw it."
