Ball of light eminating several red "beams".As I ws heading west bound on I-40 I saw movement in the sky towards the south. I saw a brilliant light near the Monzano mountains. It seemed to just hang there momentarily then four "beams of red light seemed to come out of the bottom and strike the ground. These red lights lasted only a few seconds. The object then accelerated off in a southwestern direction. I found this quite curious. The day before i had seen several "black" helicopters in the same location. Strange indeed.
