Manzano / Coyote Canyon Disc Report
August 8, 1980Manzano / Coyote Canyon, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, United States
Hastings quotes an AFOSI complaint describing three Air Force security policemen who saw a fast light stop and apparently land, followed by a Sandia guard reporting a round disc, failed radio communications and rapid vertical departure.
Claims are displayed with the source wording, locator, relationship and verification state. Competing claims remain separate rather than being averaged into a single answer.
“The AFOSI complaint quoted by Hastings says three security policemen saw a fast light stop abruptly, maneuver and apparently land in Coyote Canyon before departing vertically.”
“The Sandia guard reportedly could not radio for backup while approaching the object; the source does not establish that the object caused the failure.”
