Blue-green UFO seen in Albuquerque in 1949

Summary

A farmer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reported seeing a bright round object with a blue-green color in 1949. The sighting occurred on April 30 at 22:15, and the object was moving westward at high speed. Although visible for only two seconds, its brightness was comparable to that of a star. Investigators concluded it was likely a meteor, though no photographs or physical evidence were recorded. The report was considered credible due to the observer's consistent account and the absence of confusing factors like fog or optical effects.

The report is part of the Project 10073 records, an initiative from that era to document unidentified sightings. Despite the brief nature of the event, the testimony was detailed and precise, including data on direction, estimated altitude, and visual description. These types of records, though often lacking physical confirmation, help understand how UFO sightings were handled in the 1940s.
