Circle over Lad Cruces, NM

The report, as filed

I live at((deleted)) in Las Cruces NM, 88012. We have large, flat desert area where neighbors are acres apart. On this night I seven or more ( seven that I counted while outside smoking a cigarette) circular lights moving across the sky. They moved at their own speed, moving slowing then a little fast then stopping Before continuing again. They did this in the West side of the sky opposite of the organ mountains in Las Cruces NM, towards the small mountainin range in the east,the hot springs I believe, they moved like that until they were under what I would consider the north star, the brightest star in the sky I can see with the dipper south of it, and as they did they brightened, then moved faster between two stars to the right exactly parallel from each other and shot bright then disappeared. I have an albino German Shepard, his name is Clifford, he was outside and howling at the time this was happening and after I stopped seeing lights and what lo! oked like ships jumping to light speed, he stopped and came and sat next to me, not moving, when usually he can't refrain from jumping on me and my wife. This happened many times.. within literal seconds of the next light. One. Two. Three, four lights and on and they moved, then got bright, then shot across the sky and disappeared. This happens all the time here though. You guys really need to look here. We're like.... A major source and no one even knows it. They dart around these sky's nightly and if I had better equipment I would show you. Please send me a response, as I look forward to collaborating with you.
