Touring Musician Sees UFO in New Mexico.

Hi! I play in a punk band called Handguns and we tour nationally and internationally basically 9 months out of the year. We've driven through New Mexico many times and always make ET jokes knowing that the area is a UFO hotspot.

Never did I ever think that I would actually end up being convinced that I saw something I couldn't explain. Yet here I am...

We were driving out of Albequerque after a show at a venue called Gasworks on October 29th. We were scheduled to in Austin TX the next day and had a long overnight drive to power through. Right as we leave Albequerque we notice a strange light in the sky directly above us as we headed east on I-40. I attached a picture of exactly where our sighting occurred for clarification.

The light seemed to be moving closer to us as we drove. Our bass player who was driving pointed out that it seemed to be changing colors rapidly. We thought for a minute that it was a police helicopter with flashing red and blue lights, but the longer we watched we figured that couldn't be the case based on its movement. We had an eye on it for a good ten minutes before it seemed to just drift off to the south behind the scenery. I managed to grab a few photos on my iPhone 5c, but obviously they are grainy and a little hard to make out. I'll post them seperately. I don't really know what the point of this post is because it is likely that I will never figure out what this thing was, but I wanted to share with the believers and non believers alike and see what everyone thinks.

This was the very first picture I managed to grab. This was within 2 minutes of originally spotting it.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, photos don't do any justice to your experience and sighting. I believe that it was an earth-evolved creature which seperated from insects with the development of all-the-way-through trachea tubes.

Nice plug..

So you were in a convertible? Or by 'directly above us' did you mean 'NOT directly above us', or were you hanging your heads out the windows?

The light seemed to be moving closer to us as we drove. Our bass player who was driving pointed out that it seemed to be changing colors rapidly. We thought for a minute that it was a police helicopter with flashing red and blue lights, but the longer we watched we figured that couldn't be the case based on its movement.

But your description suggests slow movements - at no point do you mention any weird or fast movements, so why couldn't a chopper be the cause?

We had an eye on it for a good ten minutes before it seemed to just drift off to the south behind the scenery. I managed to grab a few photos on my iPhone 5c, but obviously they are grainy and a little hard to make out.

Next time (heheh), why not stop the car and get out so at least the window reflections are eliminated... As you said yourself, these are not exactly great images and no amount of post-processing or careful analysis is likely to uncover anything of worth, sorry.. And use VIDEO if in doubt, not stills. Lean yourself against something for steadiness, and maybe buy a decent camera.

I don't really know what the point of this post is because it is likely that I will never figure out what this thing was

Sorry, but I have to agree with you...

And I have to observe that if Crypto doesn't ask if you want to be in his ebook, that must surely be the kiss of death...

I thought it was a wonderful story !

And with photographs

What I would give to have just 1 photo of any of my experiences

I hope you never identify what the light was ,

who cares about an identified flying object ?
