July 16, 1980: CAP Cadet Allegedly Sees UFO Near Pecos, New Mexico

On this date in 1980, a CAP cadet reported that he allegedly saw a UFO near Pecos, New Mexico.

An excerpt from the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena:

10:30 AM. A Civil Air Patrol cadet along with several other witnesses observed a dull metallic, circular object maneuvering near Pecos, New Mexico. The cadet got closer to the object after it landed in a nearby clearing and took some photographs. He then observed a human looking figure dressed in a metallic suit emerge from the object and walk a few feet away from it. Moments later the figure returned to the object and it quickly took off and flew towards the northwest. The cadet was later approached by a mysterious man who wanted him to turn over the photographs to him. (Source: Timothy Good, Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-Up, p. 407).
