For my first attempt at Sitrec, I am trying to answer this reddit post I found from a few weeks ago. The key information is:

• Appearance: 1 or 2 orbs, green light than white/blue.
• Date & Time: 01/25/2026 6:58PM (MST)
• Location: Meadowlark RD, Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87124
• Coordinates: 35.24035318007252, -106.65179285993335
• Info from post: "Object was traveling southwest, other people at the Walmart in 528 and southern said they saw 2 objects, they said they looked like 2 green orbs and later changed color."
  • For reference, Walmart is nearby to the south.

Here is the location on google street view:

Here is the Sitrec I made: https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?cu....amazonaws.com/21865/Local/20260216_190208.js

I see a helicopter and a plane in roughly the right spot, although they seem further north in the sky than the video. If the video was taking ~10 minutes earlier than they say, it lines up better.

Question: Could someone assist with identification of this object? I think the green color is likely a clue pointing towards us seeing the starboard side of the helicopter. Here's a link a night image of this helicopter model.

The main issue with Reddit posters is the given time is often not accurate, intentionally or not.

Really you need the original accurate file date which you can often get them to give you by asking them to take a screenshot of the info screen from their phone.

40 seconds in, looks like six stars are visible.

Identified the stars, none of the tracks you identified there come close, viewed from that location. The orientation seems right, meaning the time is about right
