Saucer Observed at Hopi Reservation in AZ

Date of this Report: 5/2/2020 Date of Sighting: Saturday, 12/27/1980 Place: Second Mesa, AZ (Hopi Reservation) My Cousin George, my 2 friends, and I drove to Arizona on Friday, December 26, 1980, from Orange County, CA. On Saturday night at about 8PM, George and I were collecting firewood. My Cousin said….”Look, what is that?” I looked, on the horizon there was a saucer shaped object. I would guess it was about 3 miles away, and about 300 yards across.

The first words out of my mouth were…”I know what it is, and I’m getting out of here.” We stayed though. We watched it for about an hour. It had a rather soft light to it, almost pastel, and the size and shape seemed to subtly change from minute to minute. It would slide back and forth across the horizon. It directed beams of light at the ground as though it was probing (there are Uranium Mines out there). It also was directing beams of light up in to space, as though it was communicating with a Mothership. It had small spheres, red and white which it was also directing out on the horizon, which looked like probes to me. The ground lit up near us, and then the light went out. Then, two spheres about 3 feet across were floating across the Mesa, between the Pinyon Pines towards us. I was terrified. I though Life as I knew it was going to end. Then, the lights just went out.

After about an hour, the main Saucer object became dormant, so we returned to the campground where my 2 Friends were. My two Friends saw it when we returned to the campground and pointed it out to them. The first thing they did was retreat to the Café there on Second Mesa. We went to sleep, and in the morning, that distant object did not present itself anymore. A Hopi Indian at the Café told my 2 Friends it was just a town in the distance. I think they may have misidentified what we were watching. My Cousin and I spent a long time watching this thing. My Friends were scared and so they did not spend any time studying it, just a minute. George died about a year ago.

I would like to point out that this incident occurred at the same time as the Rendlesham Forest incident in Great Britain. In addition, my encounter was only about 60 miles from where the Travis Walton incident occurred. There are some time and space coordinates for you. I do not think either of those things are just coincidences.

Very Respectfully, Bernard C.
