“Fran Ridge:
Nov. 6, 1957; Radium Springs, New
Mexico
10:50 p.m. Las Cruces policeman [Barela?] and a Dona Ana County Deputy
Sheriff saw a single round object, changing from red to green to blue to white,
which rose vertically from a mountain top. The sighting lasted 10 minutes.

Note:
In this case it is not what was reported, but where and when, that makes
this one noteworthy. Hopefully, someday we will get more details. This incident
occurred on the same day as the Kirtland weapons storage area (WSA) overflight
and is listed in the Project Blue Book unknowns as Case # 5227. Radium Springs
is almost two hundred miles from Kirtland, which is just SE of Albuquerque. Radium
Springs is almost 50 miles
NW of Las Cruces, NM along Interstate 25. For some details on the incident I
consulted my only Blue Book ‘unknown’ sources, Don Berliner and Kevin Randle,
and found some sketchy information in Kevin Randle’s book, ‘Project Blue Book
Exposed’. This was one of the few cases that was not described. I then emailed
Larry Hatch, another member of our Nuclear Connection Project staff, and he supplied
a listing which was not ‘flagged’ as a ‘nuclear connection’ case, but was listed in his *U* Database.”
