A New Mexico man recalls the stories that his father told him about Bigfoot, UFOs, and other unexplained incidents while growing up.
I received the following account:
"My father grew up in Southeastern New Mexico in the 50s and 60s
and collected a lot of strange stories. I remember him telling me about Bigfoot
sightings along the Pecos River, east of Artesia, NM. I mostly nodded at
these as I only thought those lived up in Washington and Oregon. In
high school, I talked with a girl who lived further north of Artesia and she
said she had seen it several times, even looking in her window.
He said that several times when he was a kid, he would see red pinpoint lights
on the walls in his room, like what a laser pointer would make, but not on one
of the walls facing the window. Another time when camping with his friends they
watched a light coming from the west where White Sands is that split into three
and went in different directions. He thought of that as one of his first UFO
sightings. Another time, probably in the early 70s he was in a bar in Roswell,
and two very shaken-up EMTs came in and started talking about lights they had
seen out in the desert. They thought it was the city until it lifted off into
the air and drifted away.
I was a little too young to remember when this was happening, but he told me
about it years later. He was working installing countertops and cabinets in a
new sub-division in Rio Rancho, just west of Albuquerque, NM. He and his
partner would be in different rooms working, set down one of the tools, reach
for it and it would be on the other side of the room. Or in a different room
entirely. Weird poltergeist things like that just happened constantly there.
This one I actually remember. In October 1983 a huge UFO went over us twice. The first time was after we were driving home from feeding my mother's horses, we
were headed west and it just went over us from behind only a few hundred feet
up. We made it home and watched it as it circled around north and went over us
again, still only a few hundred feet up. It had lights arranged in circles with
radiating lines and was lit up like a city. We watched it for a pretty long
time, probably close to an hour. I remember suddenly getting scared that they
would see me, and take me away. When I asked my mother about it years later,
she said she remembered it. But got bored, and went inside leaving my father
and I outside to watch it. She then got upset and said she didn't want to talk
about it again.
This story he said he heard from his cousin who was an MP at White Sands Missile
Range back in the early to mid 70's. I'm curious if you have heard anything
similar. From what he said, all the MPs knew about it and had similar things
happen to them. Late at night, they would be patrolling and checking empty
warehouses, and would hear footsteps coming towards them, but the flashlight
would show nothing except an empty room. Then one night he and his partner were
parked out in the desert having a cigarette when they heard something walking
towards them, and when they turned their lights on to where the sound was
coming from they could see the grass and brush parting like someone was walking
towards them, but there was no one there. They got out of there after that.
Finally, one night one of the other MP's stopped reporting in. They finally
found his Jeep, and it looked like he had tried to wedge himself behind the
back seat and emptied his sidearm through the windshield at something. They
never found him though." P
