NUFORC Sighting 175762

Occurred: 2023-05-03 01:45 Local
Reported: 2023-05-13 23:14 Pacific
Duration: 20 Minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Albuquerque, NM, USA
Location details: Camera pointed at general area of Cassiopeia Constellation

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 lights which appear to be celestial anomalies of the Cassiopeia constellation perform repetitive behaviors (possibly ongoing)

Unfortunately, my phone's camera was only able to catch a glimpse of the brighter object momentarily before becoming too dim to be captured, again. In the video, you will see a light become brighter then dim. My eyes could see way more than my phone's camera was capable of picking up at the time.

The UAP I captured on camera was the bright object you see speed up, slow down, and dim. It was bright and light yellow and more conspicuous. I point out where it will appear, prior.

When you watch the video, I say and point out where it will appear, and it does. This is because I watched them perform various maneuvers prior to the recording.

There was a second dimmer, light blue object that would follow it using odd maneuvers, as well.

Before, during, and after the recording, I would view the bright one appear in the sky, move, and dim. The dim one would appear somewhat alongside it and it really did seem like they were "playing" almost like you would see at an airshow. They would always come from the same direction and general region of the sky and dim out to the right before reappearing back to the left. This seems like a satellite flair, but it doesn't explain the maneuvers I witnessed them display. It was also about 2 AM, so I'm not sure if satellites in LEO can flair at that time unless the moon somehow illuminated them.

Neither object displayed typical orbital flight characteristics (persistent line across the sky).

I've seen fighter jets, I'm hesitant to suggest that's what these were due to the altitude, silence, lights, and recurring flight origins. I'm unfamiliar with drones at that altitude and brightness. That being said I'm open to suggestions because I'm not educated on fighter jet and drone capabilities.

When I first witnessed them I saw what I thought were three stars in the sky. They became brighter and began moving oddly. I don't recall if the third light ended up being a star or another UAP, but I don't remember seeing it again.

The camera is pointed NNE, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, towards the Los Alamos area. Footage was captured 05/03/2023 1:48 AM MT.

I can confirm multiple witnesses now who were informed by an individual who witnessed it prior. The individual had prior knowledge of the phenomenon and advised them the exact constellation (Cassiopeia) and time (circa the time I recorded) and they witnessed the same event on the same day at the same time in the same exact area of the sky. I believe it had been witnessed prior multiple times at that specific time range.
