SIGHTING: RIO RANCHO, NEW MEXICO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"First noticed object after viewing high speed jet traffic heading southwest, at first appeared as if in high altitude commercial jetliner area but was in apparent straight trajectory, thought maybe satellite, 280 to 300 degree trajectory, about 70, 75 degrees upward from my perspective in my backyard. it was an orb, white glowing circle, no vapor trail or visible emission of any kind, absolutely silent. as it continued along its straight line trajectory, it all of a sudden slowed to almost a complete stop, then turned a 360 clockwise, then another half turn manuever with also straight crossing and perpendicular paths and circle as well for couple minutes, then it continues on its 280 to 300 degree trajectory again until it's about at a 45 degree viewing angle, coming to an almost complete stop, does a few more radical manuevers, then shoots off at same trajectory at a very high rate of speed until out of sight. coincidentally, the trajectory of its flight path from here i calculated happens to be almost in line with area 51. if military experimental, no collision lights, no marker lights,(and there was other commercial traffic present) but just a round white light, from my line of sight looked the size of a star. no sound, no vapor trail, maneuvered and looked like something i've never seen before. i called rio rancho pd at 22:16 to inquire if any other reports, negative. then attempted to contact kirtland afb at 22:19, no answer. 22:56 called artcc, sunport faa tower but representative would not connect me with anyone in the tower. am considering filing a foia request for active radar log that time and date, whatever it was should have shown up on radar. i'm 62, a firm believer in extraterrestrial life and this is the first and only time i've ever witnessed something of this nature.
