Sept 2 7pm HASP Balloon from New Mexico

We were walking the dog on the golf course and I remarked to Jan that Venus was very bright tonight, more so than I recall seeing it.

We continued walking and as we neared home I noticed that Venus was in the wrong place!  I found the real Venus, which was more to the South.  This was about 15 degrees west of North and about 15 degrees elevation.

I reached home and got out binocs and noticed it was an UFO!!!!!

I got the 80ED scope with 8-24mm zoom eyepiece and took some photos at 75x magnification.

Here it is:
