Occurred : 10/5/2008 21:18 (Entered as : 10/05/08 21:18) Reported: 10/5/2008 10:56:12 PM 22:56 Posted: 10/31/2008 Location: Albuquerque, NM Shape: Unknown Duration: 2-3 seconds Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Two "Exhaust Port" white lights streaking across the sky in Albuquerque that instantly vanished. Two white lights streaked across the sky from the East travelling West at the intersection of Coors and Central. Lights appeared to be exhaust ports, and were at the rear of craft. There was a large building behind me, so I did not see the trajectory until the object was directly overhead. At first, I thought it was a meteorite, but there were two lights spaced a small distance apart. Also, Albuquerque has a high amount of air traffic, and I was looking at planes at the time. This object was lower in altitude then any planes in the area. Lights vanished before reaching the horizon. There was absolutely no sound whatsoever. The object moved too fast to see any discernable shape. Object moved incredibly fast in a straight line. The observer was alone at the time, and works in Technical Support for a large corporation. I would just like to know if anyone else saw the same object.

Two "Exhaust Port" white lights streaking across the sky in Albuquerque that instantly vanished.

Two white lights streaked across the sky from the East travelling West at the intersection of Coors and Central. Lights appeared to be exhaust ports, and were at the rear of craft. There was a large building behind me, so I did not see the trajectory until the object was directly overhead.

At first, I thought it was a meteorite, but there were two lights spaced a small distance apart. Also, Albuquerque has a high amount of air traffic, and I was looking at planes at the time. This object was lower in altitude then any planes in the area.

Lights vanished before reaching the horizon. There was absolutely no sound whatsoever. The object moved too fast to see any discernable shape. Object moved incredibly fast in a straight line.

The observer was alone at the time, and works in Technical Support for a large corporation. I would just like to know if anyone else saw the same object.
