Appearance / Description of Object(s)

black metalic disk/round object with no clearance lights on. It was dark/night so freeway lights illuminate th bottom of saucer. disk/saucer had a deco-perimeter of metalflake/reflector design. No insignia was observed. It was difficult to determine the height of object because of darkness.

Size of Object(s)

approx. 4"-5" widew itharms extended. Possibly 90'-120' in diameter. Approx. 235'- 285' away, moving parallel to I-40 and closer approx. 180' but lighting was dimmer although closer.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban. Major artery overpass crosses Interstate 40 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Approx 2.5 miles from Sandia mountains;4-5 miles from Sandia Natioal Labs. Almost same distance to Kirtland Air Force Base/ Albuquerque International Airport. Lots of ufo sightings here since the 1940's.

Full Description & Details

I was outside andlooked up towards the freeway overpass and noticed a ufo/ object hovering directly over the overpass. Object remained hovering there and the passing cars did not seem to react to the object so close to the street. It may have been out of their (vehicles) vision. No one honked, reved up their engines, or went faster or slower in reaction to the object which i thought was strange. A ufo in a crowded area should cause some kind of reaction. Object was blacked out for maybe that reason; so it wouldn't attract attention. There were no clearance lights at all,no glowing parts,no distortion of object or air around it. A perimter design on the bottom of object reflected the light from sodium lights ofoverpass. this was highly reflective approx.18"-24". It seemed to be an artistic or graphic design imilar to metalflake paint or 3-M hrand reflective highway tape ( multi-layer highly reflective) Object then moved slowly at approx. 10mph. to the WNW and went out of the freeway lighting and dissapeared. Object was in complete control at all times with no difficulty to pull a hover for a long time,no wobblng or deviations at all , and no angular travel as seen in many ufo pictures. It was parallel to the ground at all times. Object was very flat on bottom with no protrusions or outlines of a door.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Absoutely not. I've seen hundreds of prop and jet engined planes and this object did not remotely look like any current technology. It wasaclear night with great visibility. No clouds in sky at all! Not a weather balloon or any nat. phenomena. These archaic hackneyed, weak, explanations for what might have happened just don't work inthis case! None of these could possibly be what I witnessed. If you have seen a ufo you know exactly what I mean.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've read some but that does not effect what i witnessed in the least. This was not my first sighting so it wasn't as shocking as the first one was.
