Subject: Know anything about these incidents?

I just had a phone call from an old friend who lives
in Albuquerque to report two unusual incidents.  He wanted
to know if I could find out more about either.

First:  On Saturday night at about 7:00 or so local time he
was at the local observatory with a number of amateur
astronomers who had gathered to watch the comet.  Someone said
there it is and pointed almost directly up at an object in
the sky with a tail behind it.  He was quickly told that this
was not the comet, since it was in the wrong direction and too
high in the sky.  Several of those present looked at this
object with their telescopes, at around 75 and 100 power, and
could see that it was apparently an aircraft of some sort, but
extremely high up and they thought they could make out a metallic
body with two "outboard" engines, one of which appeared to be
in trouble and was belching smoke, thus the "tail" and
misidentification as the comet.  The object was heading due
west.  It took about 35 - 40 minutes from first sighting until it reached the
horizon and passed from view.  The smoke trail
did not dissipate quickly, again implying very high altitude, and was clearly
visible for at least 15 minutes after the object passed
from view.

Was this the Aurora with engine trouble heading home to Area 51?
Or was it some other secret aircraft?  Or was it something else?
Anyone reading this know anything more about this?

Second incident.  My friend heard on local TV on Monday night two
reports, on both early and late news, of a large metallic object
crashing on a ranch.  One report said it was the gondola of a
secret research balloon (Oh no!!!  Not balloons again!!!).  Anyway
it was reported that NASA and the military had put a cordon around
the area and would not let reporters approach.  The late news
announced that more information would be in later broadcasts, but
the story just vanished and no further comment has been heard
about it.

Could the two incidents be related???????

I would appreciate any feedback on either of these incidents.
