Location: Cuba/San Isidro (between), NM, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object

Moving around 20 MPH and did not make a sound as it passed right in front of me

I was heading north on state highway 44 between San Isidro NM and Cuba NM close to 9:30 PM , when I saw a very low flying object heading west from the Jemez Mountains, at first I thought it was a hellicopter, but as it came closer to me it was a triangled shaped object with lights, it was moving around 20MPH and close to around 150 feet off the ground, it was the size of a small air plane. It was so close to me that I could throw a golf ball at it and hit it. When I rolled down my window to watch it as it passed right in front of me, it did not make a sound of noise, it kept heading west over a small hill until i could not see it any more.
