Inverted teardrop with 'Y' shaped shadow changed color/reflectivity with the sunset
I was driving home toward the East in Carlsbad, NM, and noticed what I thought was an aircraft, the light was bright white like LED lights and being an aviation mechanic and pilot I was intrigued. What would be flying with such lighting? I pulled off the road and observed for about five minutes and the location did not change.
I wanted to get home and get my camera gear to take pictures and when I did with my 50mm Sigma Lens I observed an inverted teardrop shape with linear shadows from the center of the narrow end forming a ‘Y’ shape on the wide end.
The light changed with the sunset and was considerably higher than the local terrain. I would like to do an azimuth study to find the approximate altitude with the time 7:00pm from Carlsbad NM and the pictures I took that were reddening like the sunset.
