Observer
NameK B
Experience Level2/5
RemarksThe sighting moved from east to west. It was fairly low in altitude, was large was bright, and persistent until it was out of my vision. I was able to view it for a distance because I was located at a higher altitude than the direction it was traveling and was not hindered by terrain. I am aware that others in the Albuquerque Astronomical Society viewed it. I would be more than happy to answer any questions and look forward to knowing more about what it was.
