While i was pumping fuel at the petro in Deming, New Mexico, I looked up and noticed a silver ball, hovering south from where I was standing. The object looked to be about 3 miles up in the sky. I noticed no sound, the object looked like a chrome Bering (sic. bearing), about the size of a house, from what my eyes could see. There were no lights visible.

As we left the truck stop, due west, we noticed five black hawks ((helicopters)) heading towards the object.
