Case description

Near Cimarron, New Mexico, on May 5, 1980, a witness reported seeing an unusual object and subsequently discovering a four-hour gap in ordinary memory. The account later included scenes interpreted as an underground or concealed alien base. Those scenes involved a mutilated calf, body parts and red liquid. The short account does not explain which portions were consciously remembered at the time or recovered later, and the witness is not named. The initial observation and missing interval therefore remain the starting point of the case. The disturbing base scenes are what the witness subsequently reported about that interval, without a documented continuous route into or out of the location.
