Hello.
I was continuing my search for Fenn's treasure chest. I already published my report about the first trip to Santa Fe New Mexico in mid-March here: Fenn's treasure search story Last weekend, I made another trip there and posted about it on other forums, so if you want to, you can read the details on: Hint of Riches forum or on Mysterious writings forum
Here I would like to share a strange episode that falls into supernatural or paranormal category.
It was late afternoon on Sunday April 15th. Earlier in the day, I hiked down the canyon for about 5-6 miles (plus the side trips to canvass potential hiding places for the treasure chest). When I found the secret (but no gold was at the end of the rainbow) location, I realized that I sprained my left knee. I did not have any falls and have no idea how it happened, but the knee was hurting and I could not make normal steps. A zombie walk worked, where I locked the knee and was able to push the left leg forward. I had to lean on a piece of wood and a metal detector shaft to ease the weight off the leg.
Thus, the hike back took me 6 hours of constant moving. The fact that 1/3 of it went through a narrow canyon with hard to penetrate bushes made it a torturous walk. By around 6 pm I made to a wider part of the canyon and it was easier to walk. I knew that I have about 2 hours of light and after that could use a flashlight to illuminate a path. It is a real wilderness. The destination, where my car was parked, is an RW park that will not be opened until May. I felt vulnerable, since I only had a knife to protect myself and wild animals (could be black bears and wild cats) know by the way the pray moves how vulnerable it is.
It was quiet, but I tried to make noises to shoo away the potential stalkers. Another factor of that hike is this canyon had a major fire two years ago. Known as "McClure fire". I still saw a lot of trees with burnt bark, trees cut by firefighters, trees where the tops were burnt or trees that burnt completely leaving only holes in the ground.
I had brought a compass with me, since there is no cell service in there. At one point, two similar canyons in front of me forked and I had to decide which one to take. I knew that the left one would take me North and this is the one I followed. About 200' to the right from me, where the path was going up to the other canyon, I spotted a tree trunk with no branches and completely black - must have been burnt by the fire. But, hovering maybe from 20 cm and up to 1/2 meters above it was a white globe. It is hard to estimate the object that is away, so I could say it was as wide as the trunk below. Maybe 1/2 meter in diameter. The whiteness of it was in sharp contrast to the blackness of the wood. Also, it was not a complete sphere, but more like upside down round fish bowl. I saw or imagined that it is opened from below. On the side of it, there were two plate size "eyes" - totally black. I did not see any strings, sticks or other attachments that would keep that thing above the trunk.
I dropped the idea that it is a prank, because 1) it is a wilderness area, who would see it 2) to climb on the trunk one would need a tall ladder 3) to make such thing one should spend a lot of resources; 4) and I had a baaaad feeling inside
So, I continued on my way without stopping, only checking that thing with my side vision. I did not make any attempts to pull out a cell phone and make a photo. I only concentrated on walking - step by step, keeping my mind empty. Luckily, I made to the car before the sundown, returned home from the trip and can share this with you.
I have no idea what it was. The black column may have been something else and not a tall tree stump. I searched for "Indian flying skulls" and there are references, but they describe something totally different, large and furry... I will make a sketch and post later, but it matches the description. I attached a topo map of the area, where the black circle shows that spot. It would be about 2-3 miles North from Black canyon RW campground off of state road 475.
