Location: Socorro (approx 30 miles S. of, on I-25), NM, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Driving North on I-25 south of Socorro, NM, my mother and I saw a bright light to the west that followed us to Albuquerque.

We were driving North on I-25. We had planned on stopping in Socorro, NM. for gas and dinner on our way back to Colorado. To the west, along the skyline, my mother noticed a bright light. I commented that it probably was a planet. The light was very bright, white and it did not flicker like a star or planet would. The object stayed with us from Truth and Consequences until we hit the out skirts of Albuquerque. The object did not follow the rotation of the stars. When he hit Albuquerque, the object was moving in a North West direction. The moon had not moved at all in the sky.

Please note, it took almost 3 hours for an hour long drive, and resulted in us arriving home 3 hours later then we should have.

NUFORC Note:

We suspect Venus. PD
