At about 10:10 P.M. On 5/4/06, I was in my backyard sitting down, when I saw (flash) lighting. The whole sky lit up on the horizon, north to west. Nothing out of the ordinary, but there was'nt a cloud in the sky. Told my wife about the event and couldn't figure it out.
Went online to check local weather and current lighting strikes. Nearest strike was in Abliene, TX.
Not a cloud in the sky. This got me curious, so I was looking in the sky for clouds or a storm. Looking to the northwest low to the horizon (now about 5- 10 mins later), I saw 4-5 faint star looking objects floating around doing unbelievable manuvers. These objects would be moving slow at first, then at lighting speed change direction. Sometimes you see only 1 at a time. Sometimes two or three at a time.
The best I can describe it was it looked like a "dog-fight" between stars. They would move up and down, left to right, figure eights, you name it, zig-zag, at all different speeds. Their speed was unbelievable. This was not man-made!
Notified my wife and woke up my 8 yr. old son to witness. My son got very scared and started crying, my wife couldn't comment.
Called a buddy who lives west of me about 7mi. Told him where to look, he didn't see anything, but his wife did. Haven't spoke to her yet on what exactly see saw.
The whole event lasted approx. 15-20 mins. All their manuvers stayed in the general location.
Notified local UFO hot-line and made a report. I do not know who to turn to or what?
Just wondering if anybody else has witnessed this in the El Paso or Las Cruces, NM, area.
Thanks!

President Bush has signed a new National Space Policy that rejects future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space and asserts a right to deny access to space to anyone "hostile to U.S. interests."
The document, the first full revision of overall space policy in 10 years, emphasizes security issues, encourages private enterprise in space, and characterizes the role of U.S. space diplomacy largely in terms of persuading other nations to support U.S. policy.
"Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy asserts in its introduction.
WOW! I can see how space can become the next wild west frontier, with all the advertisers and real estate entrepenuers, not to mention hostile nations tampering with our secret satellites.
US TO CONTROL SPACE

Sounds like they were playing with some sort of military tech there.

"Virtually no information was available about the military Salyuts until recently, when access was opened up to a full-scale training model at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Well, guess what--Salyut 3 had a machine gun. The station had a 23 mm rapid-fire cannon mounted on the outside, along the long axis of the station "for defence against US space-based inspectors/interceptors".

It has absolutely nothing to do with the U.S, or any other earthly power fighting "little green men." It is a universal battle. A battle between light and darkness. Good and Evil.
