1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 I'm here in Albuquerque in Mexico. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000 I just called the police department and they gave me your number to call. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000 We just spotted about half an hour ago, hard time, 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000 three discus shaped, very brightly bright yellow color. 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000 We don't know what they are either. 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000 They were in the southwest of town. 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000 We tried to run them down and evidently they group together and disappeared below the horizon. 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000 So they were that low? 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Yes. We saw them. Albuquerque is pretty high altitude in the area around southwest of its low. 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000 That's how come we saw them. 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000 So when we drove out towards the southwest we went down and evidently if they were headed west, 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 they would have dropped below the horizon pretty fast. 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 So by the time we got to the other side of town they had disappeared. 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000 My wife is a firm disbeliever in UFOs and she even thinks they were. 15 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000 Okay, now do you have any estimate on size? 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000 No, maybe distance. I'd say about four miles away. 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Southwest of the airport. 18 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000 They were definitely silver? 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000 No, they were well. They looked like they had their own illumination. 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000 The sun was going down just breaking the horizon so that might have done it off the bottom of something. 21 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000 But they're flying balloons in the area but we knew definitely they weren't the balloons. 22 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000 They're flying a hot air balloon contest here this week. 23 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000 You could definitely make out this disc of shape. 24 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Yes, definitely they were disc of shaped objects. 25 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Matter of fact one of them was sitting on about a 45 degree angle for a while. 26 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Okay, how long did you watch those? 27 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000 I'd say about 15 minutes before they disappeared. 28 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Okay, any estimate of exact altitude when you spotted them? 29 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000 We kind of heard you say that, I'm not on a size. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000 I'd say they were about 20 degrees above the horizon line when we first saw them. 31 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000 They moved down towards the horizon as we moved towards them. 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000 And the traffic kind of held us up from getting out there. 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Did you ever have time to get out of the car and watch them? 34 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Yeah, we were in one of the shopping center parking lots when my son first spotted them. 35 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000 Oh, I see. 36 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000 You had both feet way back too. 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 And he spotted them. 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 At the time we only saw two. 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000 When we started driving out to see if we couldn't get closer to them, we saw the third one. 40 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Okay, now did these things just stick together or were they any kind of a pattern? 41 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000 They were two together and then one looked like it might have been old, seven, eight hundred yards, 42 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000 half a mile from the other two. 43 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000 But the two did kind of stick together and two of them looked like they were fairly large and one kind of small. 44 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Okay, were they stationary around the move when you first sighted them? 45 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 When we first saw them they were just standing there. 46 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Well, they were moving slightly, just barely, because I kept the line on them with the telephone line. 47 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000 And they moved below the line, which means they were hit southwest at the time. 48 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000 At a very low rate of speed, if any at all, like they were just drifting. 49 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Right. 50 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Do they seem to increase at any time? 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Increase the speed? 52 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Not noticeably no. 53 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Other than that, when we turned, let's say we were hit a down a block and we had our island. 54 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000 When we turned the corner, they had disappeared. 55 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000 There was a house on the corner. When we came around the corner, they weren't there anymore. 56 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 And these hot air balloons, they fly around here, they aren't that fast. 57 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Okay. 58 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 How's the sky conditions? 59 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Perfectly clear. 60 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000 Okay. 61 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 With a limited visibility. 62 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Are you in the military? 63 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Yes. 64 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Okay. 65 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000 And I'm an aircraft mechanic.
