Were you west of the Sand Dunes? There’s been a lot of weird things happen around there (Music Pass area) over the years.
Can you elaborate on how you figured the size of the object? How were you to estimate its size? Could it have been much closer to you than you thought?
And were these things hard objects, or only lights as far as your vision could tell? Was there any indication these were solid objects?
Thanks,

I was directly west of the sand dunes 25 miles. The first light appeared to be between us and the mountains and a little south of the sand dunes. I could just make out the tops of the mountains against the faint glow from Pueblo and the lights appeared to be well above the tops of the mountains but also between me and the mountains. While this was going on there were a couple of commercial airplanes flying high above. They seemed much higher. It looked to be about the width of the rising moon when it is just coming up over the mountains and that is what I thought it was at first until I realized it was too high in the sky and that the moon wasn’t rising. It seemed to be roiling a little on the bottom edge. It was so strange that it was shocking. It was roughly rectangular and 5 times as long as it was tall. It was gone so fast that I really couldn’t tell if it had a definite shape. It appeared to rise up and then descend back down before winking out. It wasn’t bright like a shooting star or a search light on a helicopter. It looked more like a flame. It was uniformly bright and about the color of a flame or a sodium vapor light. It did not seem close and it didn’t seem any farther than the mountains so that is why I am guessing 10-15 miles out.
I got the best look at the one that was farther south. It slowly pulsed 6 times in about 15 seconds and it was the same orange color with a distinct red flash mixed in towards the top. It looked circular. The pulse was very regular like a lighthouse lamp getting dim and then bright. It appeared to be over the mountains just south of La Veta Pass . It disappeared and then reappeared almost instantly further south before darting sideways stopping again I’m estimating around the New Mexico line or around Questa, NM.
A lot depends on how close you are to it. In 1974, in Wisconsin, I had to stop my car because the darn thing was parked in the middle of a country road.
