4 bright white lights

I was in a car heading south on I-25, between the first and second exits of Belen, NM. My uncle was driving, my aunt was in the front passenger’s seat, and I was in the rear passenger’s seat. The night was very dark, no bright moon, very few stars.

I was looking out the window facing west. I first saw what looked like a white ball of light disintegrate or explode, followed by a tail or a trail. I will describe it as a shooting star in reverse. A few seconds later, I saw 4 large, white bright lights facing east; the lights were set close together at equal distances. The object appeared to never move, and it was large and felt menacing. There was also a dim glow coming from underneath the lights. As I stared at the object, the two lights on the left turned toward the other 2 lights; so at this point, 2 lights remained facing east and the other 2 turned to face north, while remaining close together. The 2 lights turned back to the east to align with the other 2 lights again. The object never seemed to move, and I lost sight of it as we continued down the freeway. At first, I thought it was a large 4x4 truck on a hill, but it was so dark I could not see the terrain, but the way the 2 lights turned make me doubt my truck theory.

I tried to snap some photos, which I did, but they do not look like anything other than specks of light. The true description of the object that I saw with my eyes is accurate as described above. We were travelling at a high rate of speed and I did not use a flash. I am attaching the original photos, plus the same photos after I zoomed in using my photo app. I already emailed the photos.
