CIRCUMSTANCES OF SIGHTING
I [John Gille] was interested in the Dulce area because of rumors
related to a jointly (CIA-Alien) occupied underground facility
under Mt. Archuleta, and to numerous UFO sightings, as reported
by local residents.
A night of observation in the mountains had been planned under
the leadership of Valdez.
Since about 7:30pm, we had been playing OUIJA at the instigation
of Valdez. Just as we were processing the last person, one of
Valdez's sons shouted: "Look! Here it comes!"
(NOTE: I [Gille] DO NOT make the statement that there was a
causal correlation between what we had just been doing and what
we saw next. I merely report two consecutive events which may or
may not have been correlated.)
LOOK OF THE PHENOMENON
The object came from the south at great speed on a flat,
straight, rectilinear, horizontal trajectory resulting in a
perfectly straight luminous yellowish line. It was definitely not
a plane or a shooting star.
There was no sound coming from the object.
The object stopped dead in its tracks near the top of the
mountain.
At the same time, it became extremely luminous, lighting at least
half the sky. There was a display of various colors:
yellow, pink, green, and a shower of sparks.
Then the object folded on itself and disappeared.
