Flashing Lights Surround MY PU TRU:CK

After leaving ABQ Int'l Airport to see my two young sons off on a flight back to Wisconsin I stopped at a Mexican Restaurant in Vaughn to eat dinner.

Then leaving the Restaurant just as it was getting dark for some reason I left the road, might have dozed off as it was a long drive to ABQ from Roswell where they had stayed with me for a month during summer vacationl.

Somehow, I woke up surrounded by flashing green, red, yellow lights that seemed to be spinning around my car. I drove back onto 285 and continued on to Roswell and home!

Only reason I am reporting this I noticed the entry dated March 2 for Vaughn which sighting occurred in Feb of 2008.
