Was looking South + was astonished to see an object 4-5 times the size of Jupiter in AM sky it was an orangish 20 degrees above horizon
I went out to my front porch after putting on a pot of coffee + looked South. Then I looked at Jupiter or Saturn to the West and looked back south + saw an orange/yellow object that was huge and on the Low horizon perhaps 20 degrees above horizon + approximately 160 degrees South of my location. It looked like a planetary configuration but where one shouldn’t be. It’s size was 4-5 times the size of Jupiter or Saturn in the same morning sky. I observed it hovering approximately where White Sands Missile Range is located. It was observed for about 30 seconds + I thought got to go in + get my phone. I looked towards the screen door and looked back + the object was gone, vanished with no vapor not diffused. Then as I continued to look in the sky there were at least 2 Jets presumably from AFB in Alamogordo way up also circling the area. Maybe they were there all along but not observed until after object disappeared
