Subject: UFOSNMW REPORT FORM Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 13:02:29 +0000 From: unknown@unknown (unknown) To: ufosnw@rt66.com Name: JDW Location: Albuquerque Date_of_Sighting: March 2000 Time_of_Sighting: 8pm Sighting: I was looking west out my door and saw what I thought was a yellow/orangish crescent moon. The bottom had that round shape but it was like there was a square shape in front of it instead of the normal upper curved shape that is the earth's shadow on the moon. There is nothing between me and the horizon of that shape so that was strange. Then I noticed what appeared to be a brighter round spot on the north side of the crescent. As I watched it, within a few seconds the crescent 'rolled' away from south to north (as if a cloud had covered it) until there was just a little sliver of it left, and then that 'went out' like a light leaving just a tiny glowing speck like a far off star. However, that could've been a star if the following was true. It occured to me that it could've been a balloon with a spot light on one side of it. If so, it was just down the street. That night there were sirens all over the place so I still don't know what was going on. My phone line had been out of commission before that time so I couldn't go online to find out anything and according to Ruters news, there wern't any strange happenings with either the sun or the moon in the last week. This is the FIRST strange thing I have seen here that I couldn't explain and I have lived here for 31 years. If it was the moon with a cloud going over it, why didn't it come back out again? Also why did one side have a bright round spot on it? And if it was a baloon, where did it go when the light went out. I could see there wasn't anything in the sky THEN. |
