I cleared a B737 for takeoff runway 08. I then put Aircraft X in position; full length on runway 08. There was no traffic on final approach to runway 8 that I was aware of. Approach then called and pointed out a VFR aircraft north of the airport. I took the point out and approved descent on the VFR aircraft through the departure corridor of Aircraft X. I was looking north for the VFR aircraft I took the point out on looking away from Runway 8. I looked back to Aircraft X in position and saw Aircraft Y on 1 mile final for Runway 08. I looked at the data tag on the radar screen and instructed Aircraft Y to go around twice with no response. I instructed Aircraft X to exit Runway 08 at alpha two intersection. Alpha two taxiway is approx 500 feet from the full length Runway 8. Aircraft Y continued on the approach to Runway 8 and landed passed the displaced threshold approximately 4500 feet down the runway exited the runway and checked on ground. Aircraft X had not completely cleared the full length of Runway 08 when Aircraft Y over flew the approach end of Runway 08. Aircraft Y never checked in on the tower frequency and was never issued a landing clearance. Aircraft X taxied back to the full length of Runway 8 and departed.I should have had Aircraft X exit the runway and not leave him in position once I realized he may have to wait for traffic to clear the departure corridor. I also could have instructed Aircraft X to make a 90 turn and exit at the full length more expeditiously once I saw Aircraft Y on final not on frequency. I could have keyed up approach frequency and made a blind call for Aircraft Y to go around but with the position of Aircraft Y on final and not on tower frequency I thought my best option was to have Aircraft X exit the runway.
Events occurred while on field at ABQ preparing to take off for a flight. Obtained clearance for flight. Called ground control; requested taxi for takeoff from FBO ramp. Received clearance to taxi to runway 8 via foxtrot; golf and echo 1 taxiways to runway 8. Acknowledged instructions with read back and proceeded to taxi; turning left on foxtrot; then left again onto golf. At about this point controller told me I had made a right turn onto foxtrot and was now heading to runway 3. He said since I was already on the way; just go ahead to runway 3. I replied that I had not made a wrong turn and was headed for runway 8 as instructed. He apparently thought I was not familiar; and insisted I had made a wrong turn and was on the way to 3 on foxtrot. Again I stated I had taxied according to instructions. Again he said I was in the wrong place. Finally; I stated I was halfway down golf almost to E1; approaching runway 8. After a short silence; he replied 'Oh; I see you now;' and instructed me to proceed on to E1 at runway 8. I acknowledged and proceeded to E1. I did a short run up at E1; then taxied to the hold-short line at runway 8; switched to the tower frequency 120.3 and informed that I was holding short runway 8; ready for takeoff. I was instructed to hold short runway 8 and acknowledged holding short runway 8. An air carrier approached runway 8 from the other side of the runway; and was cleared for takeoff. It entered the runway and took off. Almost as soon as it lifted off the tower instructed me to line up and wait on runway 8. I read back the instruction and entered the runway and lined up; expecting takeoff clearance momentarily. The wait began to lengthen; and my passenger; who is also a pilot; and I discussed that sometimes controllers here observe a '2 minute rule;' after a heavy aircraft has departed to ensure wake turbulence has had a chance to dissipate. It was very quiet on the airport on the radio. We could not hear any other traffic going on. I did not attempt to remind tower that we were waiting for takeoff; since I figured it was obvious that we were and there did not seem to be anything to distract the controller's attention.I'm not sure how much time had passed. It seemed longer than 2 minutes; then I heard the tower say a call sign and then 'go around; go around.' I did not catch the call sign. I am aware that radio transmissions are recorded; so I am thinking this information must be available on the recording. About 10 or 15 seconds after the go around instruction; a light business jet came from behind my position and passed directly overhead and landed on runway 8; the runway I was lined up and waiting on. As it rolled out and taxied; there was a series of quiet exchanges between the tower and it. The exchanges were not clear to me; and hard to follow. I am not sure what was said; or what the instructions to the jet were. I believe I heard it instructed to exit the runway to the right. I waited right where I was for instruction from the tower; and finally the controller instructed me to exit the runway at the 'first left.' I acknowledged and read back the instruction and taxied forward to the first left exit and left the runway. Nothing else was said to me about the incident that had just happened; and I did not make inquiry about it. My passenger and I were looking at each other from time to time in disbelief at the events we'd seen. We had had no idea the bizjet was approaching us from behind until it passed overhead; so attempting an evasive maneuver was not something we had considered. We agreed that neither of us had heard any clearance to the bizjet to land on 8; nor had we heard any declaration of emergency by the jet; nor any response to such a declaration by the tower. We were never given any instruction after the line up and wait instruction by the tower; until after the jet landed and we were instructed to exit at the first left turnoff. An air carrier had been cleared to proceed to runway 8; and was taxiing to runway 8; passing in front of us; still sitting on the turnoff from the runway. The tower instructed us to follow the carrier and that we would be number two for takeoff. We did so; and after the carrier departed; we were instructed to turn no further left than 270 and that we were cleared for full-length takeoff runway 8. I acknowledged and read back the instruction; and we took off. We turned left to about 360 at the east end of runway 8 and proceeded on course. We were handed off to departure during climb out and advised they had radar contact. At no time did anybody mention the incident on runway 8; offer an apology or give any explanation. I know that it was after XX00 that we departed ABQ. The best I can say is that these events took place around XX00; I can't be more precise than that. My passenger is an instrument-rated Private Pilot; and can attest that things happened as described; having witnessed and heard everything as I did. I am a Private Pilot and have good familiarity with ABQ; having operated from it well over 100 times.
