| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I only saw it after the sky lit up. Was driving back to Abq when the sky light up about as bright as 1 hour before the sun clears the horizon, thought it odd to be so bright so early. Glanced at clock in the cab noticed the time then caught the last 1-2 seconds of the object out of my peripheral vision, could not get full look as I was going west I-40 with loaded fuel tanker. Another truck driver I met at my delivery also witnessed it. I would really like more info on the event as I am not finding info online. |
