10/20/07 21:00 Kingston NM Triangle 2-3 mins Three Black Triangular aircraft manuvered acros the horizon and then hovered over our location.Initally I observed what appeared to be three helicopters two of which were shinning a white search light onto the Black Range Mountains off in the distance. We both believed the possible helicopters were conducting a search of the area. After watching the search lights and the close proximity of the aircraft to one another I believed they were not helicopters or any aircraft that I had ever seen before. As they came closer to Highway 152 and the entrance to our small mountain cimmunity (Kingston NM, Pop. 30) I immediately realized the objects were too large to be helicopters. They were flying in a single line formation much too close to one another. All three triangular black objects hovered directly above our location for approximately 10-15 seconds at an altitude of less than 500 yards and then continued up towards the canyon to Emory Pass summit which is in the direction of Silver City NM. My friend thought they were some type of experimental military aircraft since they had a very low sounding "jet" engine sound. They did not look like Harrier Jump Jets as they were more triangular and dark black. I called the Sierra County Sheriff's Office in Truth or Consequences today and made an inquiry if White Sands or other NM instalations had reported any training excercizes in the area on the above date and time. The dispatcher had no knowlege of any report by citizens or military for October 20, 2007. I am retired law inforcement detective. My other witness is a business owner in Sierra New Mexico.
