Lots of explanations for flashes of light. Flares and night time aero photography for example. I've seen the night time flash for photography myself and it's quite amazing. I could see my own shadow. You would think a nuke went off.

Night time strobe photography dates back to WWII and none other than Mr. E of EG&G.
night time strobe photography


I can't say I've ever even considered that this is what I saw. Seems like a long shot that someone was doing night time photography with this out in the middle of new mexico in the late 80's, but then again, I don't think ALIENS! is a better explanation.

Thanks for the info Gariac. I do still question the things I've seen and heard while on the rez. There always seems to be a better explanation. This one helps.

Ah yes, I almost forgot about this story.
Told to me by one of my best friends dads. He was my boss one summer and I know him very well.

Well enough that he could be bull#ting me. Well enough that there's no reason to bull# me.
Goes like this.

He was driving back from a Northern Regional HS basketball games down around Santa Fe one night. It was late as he had some extra work/pr stuff to do while down there. The road is a 2 lane run from santa fe to chama to Dulce. He told me the spot and I knew it pretty well.

Google Maps Approx

This is on highway84 past abiquiu.

he said it like this, "the canyon that you head down into, the one by ghost ranch? I came down that and when I was just headed down the canyon was filled with a... well, a ship". Of course I said, 'yeah?' He said it was big enough to fill the whole damn canyon. It's a big valley as well. He tried to explain the size and magnitude of it. He said he freaked out and pulled off. Turned off his headlights. Now my friend's dad saying he was freaked out was odd anyway. Said he couldn't hear it. All could hear was a hum. deep hum. Then it floated up, and took off without a sound. He sat that there for a while. Didn't know if he should just turn around or head to Dulce.

Even after he told me I had a hard time wrapping my head around what he said. To this day I'm not sure. It's just another story from a resident/frequent traveler of those hills. This was a summer that I was working for him. There's no reason to make this # up. It's not like I was walking around with a notebook asking people to tell me their stories.

The middle of nowhere is often ground zero in ecological studies and/or environmental studies. For instance, there are animal studies. Many animals are nocturnal, so they need to be observed/counted at night. These environmental studies are big business. Aerial photography is not outside their budget and you don't need a permit to set off the mother of all flashes. Remember, the bill is paid by the sucker developing the property, developing the oil field, etc.

If I didn't have witnesses to the flash, I doubt anyone would have believed me.
