Strange craft over Pueblo Colorado

It was just a few minutes past seven, mountain standard time, when I went out to my backyard to talk to my wife, who was swimming. As I walked through our sliding glass door, I noticed a funny looking light about three to five thousand feet above the center of the city of Pueblo. This distance was about a mile from my house. From plain eyesight, the color of the object was opaque. It was like an opal in the sky. Furthermore, it stood stationary in the sky with no movement for a duration of ten minutes. I unpacked my binocular and took a second look. Wow, this was incredible, a triangle shaped craft with three bright dots inside, one in each corner. I then unpacked my spotting scope and viewed the object. Double WOW, this was one of the most amazing objects I've ever seen. Of course there were no stars out at this time, so it wasn't that. Furthermore, the object remained stationary for ten minutes, which eleminates an aircraft. About the time I zoomed in on the object for a second time it took off at a high rate of speed. I took my eye from the lense and followed it from about three thousand feet to about fifty to seventy thousand feet in a matter of two seconds, counting one one thousand two one thousand. What ever it was, wasn't from this planet. It's one of those strange things that I'll always remember.
