National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 9/13/2014 19:40 (Entered as : 09/18/2014 17:40) Reported: 9/16/2014 9:37:10 AM 09:37 Posted: 9/18/2014 Location: Albuquerque, NM Shape: Circle Duration: 1.5 hours Characteristics: The object changed color
We saw a bright round object in the Northwestern sky above Rio Rancho, NM, on 9/18/2014 around 7:40pm…. It was not blinking, nor flashing. The light was a very bright, I’d guess 5500 Degrees Kelvin. The object never moved and appeared to fade after sunset. We watched it from the B of A parking lot on the corner of 528/Coors. There were several people that pulled over to watch this object; I thought for sure I’d hear something about it on the news or web search. ((NUFORC Note: Date and time provided by witness are flawed. We have amended both, to reflect a sighting at 19:40 hrs. on September 13, 2014, the day that what we believe was a high-altitude balloon was reported to our Center.
