No of observers: 1

Location: Albuquerque, NM, USA

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

I was facing to the Eastern sky at angle of 35 degrees rise from horizon. The little dipper is to my left. I am watching a jet high in the sky when I see a bright light come on out to the right of the jet. The light was bright but I could see that it was behind the jet.

Then the light came straight at me so fast it seemed to "ride" the light and approached me so fast and stopped suddenly in its tracks. Then in a split second the light turned off and it looked rectangular and I could make it out by the reflection of the bright full moon. It only seemed about a 1000 yards away.

Then in the next split second it appeared to "slingshot" itself back and to the left where it came from. I could see the shape get smaller and smaller til it was gone!

I got the impression it was "stalking" the westbound jet I was initially watching.
