Full Report Text:
I was traveling on the 375 freeway in El Paso, south bound when I saw the formation appearing to hover in the south east direction. The formation appeared distant in the night sky. At arms length I believe I would be able to cover the formation with my pinky.
Which brings me to the formations shape. At first glance it appeared a line formation, as I stared closely and tried to focus, the formation had a slight bend at end. Which brings me to its angle .
The approx 15 separate lights in the formation had a light amber glow to them. The formation itself appeared in a diagonal direction and they seemed to be moving away from my line of sight and the lights slowly faded into the darkness of the sky.

Strange bright light in the El Paso sky over Horizon City that blinks out and returns I stepped out onto my upstairs deck and noticed a bright light hovering over the water tower. It stayed in the same spot for approximately 20 minutes and as I was keeping a close watch on it it all of a sudden disappeared or blinked out. As I’m writing this description of what I witnessed I looked to see if the light returned and it is again above the water tower just hovering and iris now 24:05! I’ll keep watching to see if it blinks out again!.

Small triangular pattern of three wwhite lights hovering very high over the west side of El Paso, TX. On Monday 5/11/2020 at around 10 pm MST in El Paso, TX; my 3 family members and I observed a small triangular pattern of three white lights hovering very high in the sky over the west side of El Paso. Our home is on the east side of El Paso, very close to the El Paso International Airport.
So, we were viewing the lights from east to west over the tops of the Mount Franklin mountain range. The three lights would flash / twinkle randomly and occasionally remain solid. The three lights did not separate from the triangular pattern and after about 30 minutes they completely disappeared.

Black sphere with flame light seen over loop 375 El Paso, Texas. I was driving home and noticed what appeared to be a red flame about 300 yards in the sky. The flame (reddish/orange in color) light, traveling north over loop 375 looked a little blurry so I parked and continued to observe to flame but still looked blurry.
The flame light appeared to fade out as the light turned west, then noticed the large dark (black) sphere shape appear with the reflection of the city lights. The sphere was about the size of a large two story house (possibly larger), continued to travel west bound. The sphere did not have lights or sound to indicate it was a plane.

It was around 12:11 in the morning and I was just hanging out in my backyard with my dog. I saw an object flying very low, around 100 or 200 feet in the air at extremely high speeds. It couldn't have been a plane because it had no wings and I dont live near an airport and it couldn't have been a helicopter because it had no propeller.
The lights were white, red and green. It was a rectangular shape in the back and a triangular shape in the front. It seemed to have a headlight in the middle of the triangular shape at the front, kind of like some kind of weird flying train.
It was a carbon black color. I would like to note I live very near the location of the famous roswell and also im not to far from elephant bute which also has many reported sightings of ufos.
