A former Soviet citizen reported observing an unidentified sharp green circular object or mass in the sky over Site 7 at the Sary Shagan weapons testing range in the USSR sometime between November 1972 and November 1973. The source stepped outside while watching a Canada-USSR televised sports competition and saw the object to the west at approximately 70 degrees elevation; within 10 to 15 seconds the green circle widened and several green concentric circles formed around the mass, which faded within minutes with no associated sound. The source had no opinion as to what the phenomenon was, and there were no resultant rumors.

A May 20, 1986 newsletter from the Pajarito Astronomers of Los Alamos, New Mexico announces a club meeting scheduled for May 29, 1986, at 7:30 p.m. in the Ranch Room at Fuller Lodge. Guest speaker Dr. John Warren of AT-6 was to address the topic "Why Should a Scientist be Concerned about UFO's?" The newsletter's closing signature block is redacted, with two lines blacked out following "Sincerely."

In late 2025, a senior U.S. intelligence officer and two pilots departed a Joint Operations Center by helicopter to investigate loud thuds and UAP sightings over a weapons test range. Hovering at 700 feet AGL, they observed countless orange orbs swarming near a mountain, then two large oval orbs stationary just above the rotor disk that expanded into a "T" formation of four or five before dimming over 10 to 15 seconds. Orange orbs also appeared directly above transiting fighter jets, matching their speed and flight path, and separately formed a triangle formation before vanishing.

Pages 5 and 6 of a six-page "Pantex UAP Incident Report," produced by Pantex Plant (managed by Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC), show a Ground Surveillance Radar Tower image with a small point target circled in red; the lower half of the radar image is withheld under exemption (b)(3) (UCNI). Page 6 presents two Sandia National Labs enhanced photographs of the UAP, each showing a dark, roughly mushroom-shaped form surrounded by a diffuse blue-gray halo. No incident date, scale reference, or witness information appears in either page.

On July 24, 1949, a fireball was reported over the general neighborhood of Socorro, New Mexico at 8:26 p.m. Researchers W. D. Crozier and Ben K. Seely of the New Mexico School of Mines then made systematic airborne particle collections at Socorro from July 25 through August 1, finding copper-bearing opaque particles and three apparently perfect spherical cobalt-indication particles twelve microns in diameter in the July 26 afternoon collection.

A correspondent wrote to James L. Tuck at Los Alamos reporting several sightings of green lights in the Jemez Mountains between 1948 and 1951, typically between 9 and 11 PM, and one afternoon sighting of five objects flying in formation from southeast to northwest over Los Alamos. The writer directed Tuck to Protective Force logs as the record of times and dates, and named redacted Protective Force members as witnesses.
