Crescent shaped objects over missle test range.
I was looking towards McGregor range, a missle range north of El Paso. There I saw what I thought was a large plane flying rather high over that airspace. It was extremely bright in the pre-twilight evening.
This is a flight area for planes landing at the internation airport in El Paso so I really did not think much about it. I saw another jet fly below it. The second jet was definitely coming towards the airport and even though it was approaching twilight, I could not see the landing lights. It was still too light outside. I could see the form of the plane as a shadow. The second jet left a vapor trail. This caused me to ponder and wonder how the plane flying higher did not leave any trail.
I watched the first craft and its glistening shape changed slightly to crescent as if it had turned to reveal its profile. It seemed to have pivoted at the spot it was at. It made no motion in relation to objects on the ground. From my observation point - several miles from McGregor range - and having seen a commerial aircraft look like fly specks below this craft, I suddenly was aware I was looking at something extraordinary. This thing seemed to be about 1/4 inch wide now from my front yard - but if it were higher than commerical airliners and further away, it had to simply be huge.
A speck of light sudden flew up from the ground east of the crescent and appeared slammed into the crescent at an extremely high rate of speed. I've been involve in missles and I've never seen one as fast as this one. The crescent seemed to absorb the speck. I thought at first that it might have been a missle from McGreor, but having just seen a commerical plane in that airspace, that did not make any sense.
McGreor would have closed off its airspace before any test firings. Commerical traffic was still using this airspace. There did not appear to be any materials falling away from the crescent shaped object as one might expect if it were hit with a missle.
From my point of view, it appeared another speck of light came from just below the crescent and also slammed into the crescent. It was not as fast as the first, but still far beyond convential craft speeds. I realized there was no vapor trail from the smaller speck.
About that time, on the horizon appeared three vapor trails in formation that were rapidly approaching the area. I suspect they were from the near by airforce base, but that is nearly 100 miles from here. They might have been from White Sands - a little closer.
The cresent turned from sunlight white to a brighter blue white light and in just a few milli-seconds was too small to see. I assume it was traveling away at an extraordinarily high speed.
The three vapor trails that were approaching the area sharply did a 180 degree turn.
