SIGHTING: ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My husband and i were flying on a southwest flight departing abq to hou around 1620 pm on 2 august 2017. since my husband prefers the window seat and i prefer to read, he was recording video out the window with his iphone. fast forward to december 18, and we had family over that had not seen the pictures from our long trip to the southwest. we hadn't looked at all the videos and photos we had recorded, however, while showing my mother in law the takeoff video, i noticed a small, bright object race across the screen. it covered half the angle of view in less than a second. the object appeared to move linearly at an angle to the airplane. my husband didn't notice the object at the time, and neither did i. we never heard any passengers mention the object either. i cannot shed more light on the object. before submitting this, i tried to eliminate every humanmade or natural phenomenon i could think of, and i came up empty. i only uploaded frames from the video. the object appeared for around a second so wasting disk space on the upload with a video file that is over a gigabyte seemed useless. the frames do come from a 4k 30 fps video file. please contact if anyone wants to see the video.
