1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I've been trying to get information for the last hour from here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Yes.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I'd like to know if you could give me this information.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Was there supposed to have been a lunar eclipse tonight?

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
No, man.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
That to my knowledge, it was one about ten days ago.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Well, if there hasn't been, then I suppose we have cited something.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
My husband and I.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Okay.

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Would you like to describe it?

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
No.

12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It was really rather unnerving to tell you the truth.

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
We were coming from, now you're obviously not familiar with Albuquerque, New Mexico,

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
but we were in the northeast quadrant of our city.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Okay.

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Traveling west, more like wet northwest, it would be.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And as we were approaching the valley area, my husband spotted something pretty far up in the sky

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
and asked me what it was, just about a mile or so.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I said, oh, it's the moon.

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Suddenly it occurred to me the moon went on B on the west side.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And it was half, it was very bright, extremely bright, a yellowish color, yellowish glow.

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And it was glowing.

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
It was almost a crescent shape, half moon type shape.

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And it seemed to be changing, well, it was completely perpendicular to the earth at the time we spotted it.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
And then it seemed to be changing directions as though it was going in a vertical angle.

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Yes.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
And it kept going lower and lower as we were approaching it.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And we kept talking it up too while we were getting closer to the moon, thinking it was the lunar eclipse.

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
And by the time we approached Burlina, which is in Corralas, New Mexico, it's very northwest in the city.

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
It's a suburb of Albuquerque.

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
By the time we approached that, it seemed to have completely dissipated onto the horizon.

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
We couldn't see it anymore.

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000
But we were very close to it because by the time we reached Rio Grande Boulevard, which is back to the middle of Northwest Valley,

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
it was very large.

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
But it was very low to the ground by the time too.

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Did it maintain its same shape?

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
No, it seemed to have changed shape as it was coming down.

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:22,000
When it was almost present shape when we first spotted it, it started getting narrower and almost to the point of a quarter moon shape.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Okay, was this just all solid light?

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Yes, solid light is all we saw from it.

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
That's what we kept thinking it was a moon.

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Was it white?

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Pardon me?

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
White light?

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
White light, glowing white light.

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
It gave a yellow cast. It appeared to be a gallerish moon.

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay.

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Did it maintain that color at all times?

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
It never changed that.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Did you watch this until it went out of sight?

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
We watched it until we couldn't see it anymore.

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
I'm not sure if it went out of sight at that point, but when we were at an angle, there were trees and what were covering it.

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
But it was that low by that time.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Okay, and you're sure you were facing west?

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Oh yes, we were facing northwest is what it was.

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Okay.

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
What time did you spot that?

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Okay, it's 12 o'clock.

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Well, five after 12 here, it was an hour ago. It was about 11.

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Okay.

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
And about how long did you watch that?

62
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Okay, I would estimate we watched that approximately 10 maybe 12 minutes that we could see it.

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I'm sure it was up longer than that, but that we could actually see it without trees blocking the view.

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Okay, how are the sky conditions?

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Very clear, and that shook me too because I was thinking in terms of we've had some windy days in the nights before, you know, the moon usually covered with clouds.

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Right.

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
But it wasn't my plan tonight.

68
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Okay.

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And where did you get our number?

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Our police department here in Corral has referred us to you, but I finally had to go to all the flight control at our airport, at our international Sunport.

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Okay.

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Okay, well we appreciate you reporting this and we're going to check it out and if we come up with any information on it, why we'll get back to you and let you know.

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I appreciate it because this is quite a nerdy, I've not exactly been a believer.

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And I really would like some rationale to what we saw.

75
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Okay, if we get anything on it, we'll let you know about it.

76
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Thank you.

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
You're welcome.

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Bye-bye.
