We saw a bright round object in the Northwestern sky above Rio Rancho, NM, on 9/18/2014 around 7:40pm…. It was not blinking, nor flashing. The light was a very bright, I’d guess 5500 Degrees Kelvin.

NARRATIVE

The object never moved and appeared to fade after sunset.   We watched it from the B of A parking lot on the corner of 528/Coors.
There were several people that pulled over to watch this object; I thought for sure I’d hear something about it on the news or web search.
((
We suspect that the object was a high-altitude, helium-filled balloon.  One was reported to have been released from Ft. Sumner in New Mexico.
