A high-altitude scientific balloon launched by NASA from Fort Sumner was spotted over Albuquerque, with a second balloon launched from Kirtland AFB, both used for atmospheric and space research.

NASA terminated a scientific balloon flight carrying its FIREball-2 project in New Mexico after experiencing an "anomaly" at an altitude of over 124 thousand feet. The project aimed to study nearby galaxies for a better understanding of their formation and evolution. The cause of the anomaly is currently under investigation.
