In a letter to the Gallup Independent Miss Tillery writes:
"My mother and I feel reasonably sure that is what we saw at 6:30 or 7:00 o'clock Wedeneday evening, June 25.
"When we first saw the shining disc, I said "What! a star in borad daylight?" However we soon decided against this because aside from being improbable, it was too large for that. In a short time it had disappeared into the southeastern sky, leaving us baffled until we began hearing these reports."
Earlier, Art Roberts, Gallup barber, reported seeing one sweep in from the northeast about 10:30 p.m. Friday and disappear quickly over the southern horizon.

David Rudiak indicates the newspaper sources:
Journalist Leslie Linthicum of the Albuquerque Journal, in a 1997 article, before providing 6 witnesses accounts, also refers to the numerous sightings of that time, noting that the skies above New Mexico were not immune, and quoting the Albuquerque Journal, for July 1, 1947:
"Another witness of the mysterious 'dipping discs' in New Mexico was reported today," "She was Miss B.A. Tillery of Newcomb, a trading post on the Navajo reservation."

In the current state of information, it is hard to discard the possibility that Miss B. A. Tillery and her mother saw reflections on an airplane, for example.
