Enchanted Mesa

Enchanted Mesa is a sandstone butte[1] in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) northeast of the pueblo of Acoma.

Evidence of holes carved into the sandstone on either side of the fissure can be seen, located in the horseshoe shaped bowl at the southern end.

[3] In 1897, Professor William Libbey from Princeton University climbed Enchanted Mesa to disprove the existence of ruins.

Libbey announced that he had seen no ruins or artifacts, saying "Romantic Indian legend can never stand the acid test of scientific investigation.

Although the main ruins had been washed over the edge by centuries of thunderstorms, he found plenty of arrow points, stone tools, beads and pottery fragments lodged in crevices.

[6] A helicopter was dispatched to the top with the governor of the pueblo and a police officer, but no direct evidence of a UFO was found.
