The event occurred while I was traveling southbound on I-25, at approximately 20:45 hours.

Fast moving circular object approximately 20% the size of a full moon in area appreared over the Manzano Mountains SouthEast of Albuquerque. The craft moved at an angle towards the ground, traveling west.

The object was about the altitude of a circling police helicopter traveling at about twice the speed of a cruising aircraft. The object was traveling in a straight line at first, then about two seconds into the event, gained altitude, suddenly reaching its initial altitude almost immediately.

The craft continued in the same direction at the same speed at the same angle towards the ground for another two seconds before disappearing into the clouds.
