People that have never seen a real UFO, an unidentified object in the night sky are of course unbelievers.
I saw a very real and bizarre object while camping in a very remote area back in 2011. A large green glowing ball about 50 feet across came up out of a remote canyon about a mile away and then zigzagged across the sky directly across from me, at incredible speed, seemingly defying the laws of physics, before dropping back into the canyon.
When I told friends about it, they said I must have seen a new, secret USAF jet from area 51 (nearby). I don’t think so.
I was a total skeptic as well, then I witnessed TWO incidents that changed my thinking. And both times it was more than just an odd star kind of thing. I live in the area of the Stephenville lights, but did not see anything until the following year.
Don’t know the remote location where you sighted the object but powerful global occultists have a very large compound somewhere around the four corners area. It’s complete with a ziggurat, sweat lodges, Buddhist and Hindu temples, and other structures used for mystical contact with what they believe to be the ‘Overmind’ and assorted transcended masters, space brothers (extraterrestrials), and so forth. The compound is located in a desert area known for ‘visitations’ and sightings similar to what you saw.
