Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

At around 8pm I went outside on my porch to put out some trash and happened to look up towards the Sandia Mts. and saw a oval shaped dull (fuzzy)white light speeding through the sky. I stood looking for a few minutes but saw nothing more. About 10 min. later I came back outside with binoculars because I saw planes high enough not to hear and I wanted to watch if they were circling the area. As I moved out of view of the plane I saw two circular lights moving through or behind a small cloud.

The lights were smaller than the oval, round and moving seperately, kind of zig zagging and very fast. At around 9pm directly overhead and much, much higher than the lights, I saw what could have been a shooting star whip through the sky.
