Triangular object with bright green lights near Santa Fe, NM.

My husband and I were driving northeast on I-25 between Albuquerque and Santa Fe at around 7 p.m. (19:00) on Thursday, December 14, 2017.

Suddenly, at around the Waldo Canyon exit, we saw an object flying across the Interstate in a southeasterly direction. It appeared triangular with bright green lights around its entire periphery.

From my husband's perspective, it appeared larger than a full moon. By the time it crossed my field of vision (I was in the passenger seat), it appeared slightly smaller than a full moon. It was perhaps several hundred feet in front and above us and appeared to be moving at about 100 mph or less. It seemed to be heading down and then it vanished.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found her to be very eloquent, and very sober-minded. We suspect that she is an excellent witness. PD
