SIGHTING: CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"The weather was clear with a sleight morning haze and very little wind. My two friends who were already at the Carlsbad RC Model Airport noticed the object in the sky almost overhead but to the East somewhat. They brought it to my attention at 0830 hrs when I arrived. The object stayed stationary without any change in color, size or shape as best we could determine during the time we observed it. Around 1030 hrs I decided depart. Before leaving I took three pictures with my Canon PhotoShot S110 camera using the edge of the sun shelter to block the morning sun and give some depth to the pictures also. While driving out of the area I encountered another friend and brought this object to his attention. He believed it was a tethered balloon because of his perceived side to side motion of the object. I did not ever notice this motion. I proceeded driving home after a 10 minute visit with him."
