Duration: 8 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: El Paso, TX, USA

Shape: Light

Coming through Anthony Gap heading towards Northeast El Paso at about 11:00PM going south I spotted a dim light fly down the mountain slope (Franklins). The light was comparable to a dim light bulb, it flew parallel to power lines running to the east and over a power plant. When the light reached the power lines it became an intense bluish color and pulsed. I paced the light in a vehicle at about 50mph. Upon reaching a power line juncture (intersection of three high power lines) the light appeared to stop and looked to be turning towards my direction and became brighter then was instantly gone (disappeared). Sky was clear with clear star background. Distance followed was about 3 miles.
