Summary

In March 1965, a witness in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reported seeing two objects that appeared to have the shape of a large bird, like an eagle, with four prominent points. The witness described the objects as dark grey, almost black, and observed them flying in a low trail formation near the horizon. The sighting lasted less than a minute and was seen through the windshield of a car. Although the initial report did not clearly identify the cause, it was suggested that the objects might be military aircraft, specifically F-100s from the National Guard flying at low altitude.

The official investigation concluded that the most likely explanation was the presence of military aircraft, specifically National Guard F-100s scheduled to fly in the area at the time of the sighting. Despite the detailed description from the witness, there was no physical evidence or photographs to confirm the presence of an unidentified object. The official report emphasized the importance of continuing efforts to identify specific aircraft that might have been seen, but no definitive conclusion was reached regarding the nature of the observed objects.
