The same UFOs (or similar UFOs) were also sighted over Eastern New Mexico on both 21 and 22 January 1976.

Quote from the article:

“Johnson (police officer Randy Johnson) said radar at Canon (Cannon) Air Force Base had reported seeing only one blip on its screens during the sightings. He said the air base and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at Tucumcari, N.M., had ruled out the possibility of weather balloons or aircraft.

Most of the objects seen Thursday night (22 January) and early today were spotted west of Clovis, with a few to the east and north. Similar sightings also were reported at Portales, N.M., and Plainview, Tex.

Johnson said the objects were generally spotted in groups of three in a straight line.”
