What happened

A craft shaped like a flying wing passed silently overhead at an estimated 800-1,000 ft. They put its span at 1.5 times a B-36 bomber, about 350 ft. It had dark stripes across its underside and six to eight pairs of soft glowing lights along the trailing edge, and flew at 300-400 mph. Seen for about 30 seconds, the same night as the first Lubbock sighting.
