Incident Report Regarding UFO Sighting and Subsequent Interaction with Sandia Laboratories Personnel

This document consists of a letter detailing an alleged UFO sighting on July 16, 1980, near Pecos, New Mexico, by Civil Air Patrol Cadet Craig R. Weitzel. According to the account, Weitzel and ten other individuals, including USAF personnel, observed a dull metallic craft flying from South to North. Weitzel reportedly took photographs of the object after it landed in a clearing. The narrative claims that on the following day, an individual identifying himself as Mr. Huck from Sandia Laboratories visited Weitzel at his temporary billets at Kirtland AFB. Huck allegedly claimed the craft belonged to Los Alamos National Laboratories, demanded the photographs, and threatened Weitzel with serious trouble if he spoke of the incident. The letter further states that the Air Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) became involved, confiscated the photographs, and subsequently pressured Weitzel to remain silent. The author of the letter, identifying as a USAF airman, expresses a belief that the USAF is covering up the existence of crashed UFOs stored at the Manzano Storage area at Kirtland AFB. The author also claims that AFOSI has been conducting a secret investigation into UFOs and cattle mutations since the closure of Project Blue Book. The document concludes with the author stating they are remaining anonymous due to fear of retaliation.
