Pilot Carl M., F. O., and a passenger Jimmie Moran on a Lear Jet 23 aircraft on the route from Houston (Texas) to Las Vegas (Nevada), with a velocity of 41,000 ft and 300 knots (Mach 0.82 the TAS or about 540 mph) at 300° saw a flashing [?] red oval luminous object in the 10 o'clock position.

Object split into 4 similar red oval objects vertically a few times, each of which were separated by approximately 2,000 feet, and each radiated a red ray, then drew the lowest object in the top object.

The Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles from the Lear jet moving on the same course, without a signal repeater, and at this point the object visually flashing for 30 seconds.

Albuquerque control contacted a National airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande (Arizona), pilot which confirmed the reports of the pilot. The object moved ahead of the jet "Lear" (Lear).

Albuquerque control warned of "Lear" that the object suddenly rushed towards him at high speed for a few seconds until the radar is not merged (possibly 39 miles in 10 seconds, or approximately 14,000 miles per hour).

Object uploaded "Lear" intense red light so bright that the pilot was hard to see his dashboard, and he few minutes held the position before "Lear" then blinked, then came back on and began to fall for the left wing, then pulled forward (When the object flashes with radar-controllers in Albuquerque, he loses the object, and then returns to him when he flashes again (?))

And UFOs, and jet aircraft made the left turn on Winslow (Arizona), then radar of downtown Los Angeles picked up both goals. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle, disappeared in the West in <10 seconds.

Original news

Jan. 13, 1967; SW New Mexico, NW of El Paso, Tex., to Flagstaff-Winslow, Ariz. (BBU)

10 p.m. Pilot Carl M., an FO, and a passenger Jimmie Moran on a Lear Jet 23 en route from Houston, Tex., to Las Vegas, Nev., at 41,000 ft and 300 knots airspeed (Mach 0.82 or about 540 mph TAS) on a 300° heading saw a flashing [?] red oval luminous object in the 10 o’clock position. Object split into 4 similar red oval objects vertically a number of times, each separated by about 2,000 ft and each emitting a “red ray,” then retracting the lowest objects up into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles ahead of the Lear jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal and at that moment the object blinked off visually for 30 seconds then blinked on. Albuquerque control contacted a National Airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande, Ariz., whose pilot confirmed the Lear pilot’s reports. Albuquerque control warned the Lear that the object suddenly darted towards the Lear at high speed within seconds until the radar blips merged [possibly 39 miles in 10 seconds or roughly 14,000 mph]. Object flooded the Lear with intense red light so bright the pilot had difficulty seeing his instrument panel, and it maintained position in front of the Lear for a few minutes then, then blinked out then came on again and started falling back behind the left wing, then pulled forward again. (When the object blinked off radar at Albuquerque controllers would lose the object then regain it when it blinked on again (?).) Both UFO and Lear jet made left turns over Winslow, Ariz., then Los Angeles Center radar picked up both targets. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle disappearing to the W in <10 seconds.
