On the evening of June 21, several witnesses claimed to have seen a large, dark shape moving through the water near the Paseo del Bosque Trail. The creature, described as being approximately 8 feet in length, was said to have a serpent-like body with large, glowing eyes and sharp fangs. “I was walking along the trail when I saw something move in the river,” said Sarah Martinez, a local resident who witnessed the sighting. “At first, I thought it was a log, but then I saw it swim past me. It was huge and terrifying.” Other witnesses reported similar sightings, describing the creature as having a “crocodile-like” snout and a long, muscular tail. Some claimed to have heard it emit a strange, guttural sound. “I’ve lived here all my life, and I’ve never seen anything like it before,” said John Smith, another local who witnessed the event. “It was like something out of a horror movie.” The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF) responded to the reports and conducted a search of the area, but was unable to locate the creature.

Some residents believe it could be a long-lost cryptid, such as the New Mexico Monster or the Thunderbird. Others dismiss it as a hoax or a prank. “I think it’s a fake,” said Mark Johnson, a skeptic. “People see what they want to see, especially in the dark.” Regardless of the true nature of the creature, the sighting has generated a sense of mystery and intrigue in Albuquerque.
