Eyewitnesses reported seeing a series of bright lights hovering above the mountaintop, accompanied by loud booms and a trail of smoke. The National Weather Service has confirmed the presence of a wildfire in the area, but the cause remains under investigation. According to the Albuquerque Police Department, multiple calls were received around 10:30 pm from residents reporting a large, unknown object emitting intense light in the sky. Officers dispatched to the scene could not identify the object but confirmed the presence of smoke and fire. The wildfire has spread rapidly, fueled by strong winds and dry brush. Firefighters are currently battling the blaze, but containment efforts have been hampered by the rugged terrain and shifting winds. As the fire continues to burn, speculation about the cause of the UFO sighting has run rampant. Some residents believe that an extraterrestrial spacecraft may have crash-landed, while others suggest that it was a military experiment or a hoax. “I’ve never seen anything like it before,” said Sarah Martinez, a witness who lives near Sandia Peak. “It was a blinding light, and then it was gone. A few minutes later, we could smell smoke and see flames coming down the mountain.” The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has stated that there were no aircraft in the area at the time of the reported UFO sighting. The military has also denied any involvement. Investigators from the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have been dispatched to the scene to gather evidence and determine the cause of the fire. Residents in the affected area have been evacuated, and the city has issued a shelter-in-place order for several neighborhoods due to smoke and ash. The fire is expected to burn for several days, and authorities are urging residents to stay informed and follow instructions from emergency services. As the investigation continues, the Mystery of Sandia Peak remains unsolved. The unexplained UFO sighting, the subsequent wildfire, and the ongoing speculation have captivated the imagination of Albuquerque and the world beyond.
