I think this is probably the Yucca sculpture along I-40 just east of Albuquerque on the north side of the highway. At night it’s lit up by pastel colored lights that change over time. I’ve never been up close to it but it is very shiny, probably a chrome finish.

Sounds like the Yucca sculpture just east of Albuquerque off of I-40. I haven’t seen it at night, but it does have solar panels, and I suppose if you were not used to Yuccas, you might think it was a meteor hitting earth. It is part of the Albuquerque Public Art Program, at least one of which is listed here (Chevy on a Stick)

I was in New Mexico recently and saw a statue/sculpture I would like to know more about. We were pressed for time and could not stop and investigate. It is silvery by day and displays many different colored lights at night. There are solar panels next to it. My husband says it looks like a flower. I think it looks like someones idea of what a meteor might look like hitting the earth. I’d like to know what it is.
