SIGHTING: LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I had just started taking my daily morning walk along a busy Pkway in Las Cruces, NM. It was a CLEAR, blue sky day. About 8:35 a.m. The Moon was pale in the morning sky. No clouds. I usually observe the beautiful morning weather and I live on a ridge so its hard to miss the sky ahead.I live on a main parkway...cars were driving by. I saw something in the sky. At first I thought, that's not the shape of a plane. It seemed white in the sun. Egg or almond shape. The object was stationary. I stopped walking. The object stayed still as I watched it. I knew it was not a star. There were no stars in the sky. The object started to move ever so slightly.I thought...I wonder if my camera can catch this? It was kind of far away. As I stood there andstarted to retrieve my Blackberry, I kept my eyes on the object. The object started to simply fade and then disappear. It was stationary when it disappeared.I stayed looking at the sky thinking it would return.As I was looking up...a car drove by and a girl yelled out of the window"It's GONE!".I knew I was not the only one who saw it. I feel like it was an unidentified flying object. I wrote my childrenand my best friend right away. I have only lived in New Mexico for 3 weeks. I have never seen anythinglike that, that I can remember. After about 5 minutes as I continued my walk. I saw a jet in the sky. I thought...I wonder if someone reported the object. I knew that the military sometimes sent up jets as a follow up to a report."
