A group of possibly armed men approached a National Guard observatory team near Sasabe Friday night, marking the third close encounter of the year and second in that area.
Armed National Guard members working in an entrance identification team west of the Rancho De La Ossa near Sasabe radioed Border Patrol about a group of several men approaching their post within 100 yards, said Rob Daniels, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman.
Border Patrol officials sent a Black Hawk helicopter and agents in vehicle to the area, Daniels said. They arrived within five to seven minutes, he said.
No shots were fired and there was no altercation but they were definitely approached, Daniels said.
Soldiers using night vision were unsure how many men were in the group and whether they were carrying weapons, he said.
No apprehensions were made.
It is the third known incident involving a National Guard "entrance identification team" this year.
