'."lhen the object was first slchted it appeared to be llboat 201 000 or 301000 taot above the mountains at Ruidoso, New Uexico.

The object then cli~ed almost perpend1cularl:r to the tarraln to bot .40,000 and 501000 reet, and then dP3cended at An angle of 25 de-

to lts ori;inal altitude. This cycle was ropeated twice for a total of 3 cycles ot-the object ·appeared· to be raster than a jet type aircraft, but its exact

could not be preoiaely estimated. '~. Bare could not estimate the len~h of .the . object '• yariou oCNrlea, or the length ot time that lt; re:naioed on aey one courae, or altitude. 1'he oolar ot the ~ject was a blue-~reen while traveling stra1; ht and level and then" changed , rapidly to a brlght blul:;h-graen llhlle climbing or de9cend1n~. rlhll• cltmblng t.b~ ~bjects shape appeared to be that or a disc.
