A New Mexico witness came forward June 5, 2012, with a report of a basketball-sized orb that followed his car near Carlsbad Caverns, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his mother were the last car leaving a program at Carlsbad Caverns about 8:45 p.m. on June 21, 2009, and moved out onto Route 180. They first noticed the light about 9 p.m.

"I noticed a bright white/yellow orb about the size of a basketball (perhaps larger) approach the car from the behind (it followed the road, but approached rapidly)," the witness stated. "The light stopped very close to the bumper. There was maybe half a car length between us and the object."

They assumed the light was from a motorcycle.

"The object followed the car at the same speed for a minute or so when I decided to roll down the window. There was no sound other than our own car (no loud motorcycle engine noise either)."
