Mr. and Mrs. Henri Brock, of Gamerco, reported having seen things in the sky which they were unable to explain. The "flying saucer" in this case they described as an "orange-red balloon."
In a letter to the Gallup Independent, Mr. and Mrs. Brock reported:
"On the evening of July 3rd, near 7:00 o'clock, as we sat on out back porch, we noticed what, we thought, was an orange-red balloon coming up the valley from the direction of Gallup, traveling at rapid speed - at about the same speed as planes that pass, going north in the morning - and at about the same elevation. It was not a disc, but was slightly elliptical - a bit taller than wide. It mad no sound. It traveled, seemingly, in a straight line, not wavering, as if it was propelled, and was soon lost to sight in the clouds."
