Location: Albuquerque, NM
Shape: Light
Duration:5 min
Bright red light in Albuquerques southwestern sky.

My wife and I were walking our dogs. The sun had just set and we have lately been looking for Mars in the sky. I first looked to the south western sky and I saw a bright light as bright as Mars but in the wrong place for that time.The light though was a redish color. It was not the light of a planes nav or landing lights as I am a pilot and know what they look like. After looking at this bright lite for a few minutes it faded away as if on a south westerly course.The sky was quite clear with unrestriced visability.
