Round flame colored object traveling east to west at great speed, then slowed to a stop, sped up and then traveled slowly west

Flame colored round object traveling east to west. Appeared to be traveling a great speed then slowed almost to a stop. Started to move again, then slowed "to a crawl" again. Continued to travel west. We lost sight of it behind trees. We brought it to the attention of our neighbors, who watched it with us.

My husband is a police sergeant and I am a registered nurse. My husband is much more familiar with UFO sightings and reportings than I, since he listens frequently to am coast to coast. This is my first sighting.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 49834
Occurred: 1971-10-12 22:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2006-03-26 21:11 Pacific
Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Menands (Albany), NY, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large, black, "boomerang" shaped object gliding silently overhead.

My financee and 2 friends were at a local drive-in theater. We were all college students at the time. I happened to look up outside the car window and noticed a huge black "boomerang" shaped object slowly gliding across the sky. It was directly overhead. It had several lights spaced out along its leading edge. There was no sound from the object at all. I would estimate that it's height above ground was about 1000 feet. I excitedly pointed out this observance to my friends in the car and they also saw it. It was headed in a general direction from west to east. The drive-in was located about 7-8 miles east of the Albany International Airport, about 2 miles south of the U.S. Army's Watervliet Arsenal, and 1 mile north of Albany.

This incident happened 35 years ago so the exact date is not known. I know however that it was in the fall of 1971.
