While i was pumping fuel at the petro in Deming, New Mexico, I looked up and noticed a silver ball, hovering south from where I was standing. The object looked to be about 3 miles up in the sky. I noticed no sound, the object looked like a chrome Bering (sic. bearing), about the size of a house, from what my eyes could see. There were no lights visible. As we left the truck stop, due west, we noticed five black hawks ((helicopters)) heading towards the object.((NUFORC Note: We have contacted the nearby scientific balloon launch facility, and they have no balloons released, at the time and date of the sighting. We have contacted MUFON/New Mexico to see whether they might be able to pursue the case, and attempt to locate the other witnesses to the event. PD))
