Triangular UFO over South Valley High School

My girlfriend and I had just had dinner with her sister, who we were driving home in the south valley of Albuquerque. We were driving on Arenal Rd West toward Rio Grande High School. When up ahead I noticed a bright spot light under what I thought was a helocopter. Alot of police helocopters hover over the area looking for criminals. I live a few blocks away and was wondering if they were looking for anyone I knew. As we approached the high school we noticed it wasnt a helocopter at all. It was a triangular object about 30 long and ten feet high. It hovered next to a street light in the high school parking lot. I immediately stopped the car and starred in amazement. It wobbled in the air next to the street light like it was about to crash. The wobbling reminded me of model held in the middle by a string. My girlfriend and her sister were very scared as they noticed it wasnt a helocopter at all. The object was about 50 feet away and about 30 feet off the ground, so we got a good view of the object. A few other cars had stopped and watched as well. The object had three small lights at each corner and a bright spot light under it which did not move all thought the craft was wobbling. We watched for about 10 minutes and then the object became stable and moved slowly and silently to the SE over trees and houses. Im sure someone saw the spot light over their homes as the object flew only feet above their houses. We stood and watched untill the object was half a mile away, when we drove after it. We folled it for a mile and the the object dissappeared. I immeadiately called the local news stations who said no one reported anything and I was crazy. Im not crazy and neither are my girlfriend and her sister.
