Appearance / Description of Object(s)About twice the size and brightness of a star. Same color and shape as a star. Size of Object(s)I have no way of knowing the actual size because it appeared to have a very high altitude. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeVery high altitude. Description of Area / SurroundingsWe were in a car on Interstate 35 just south of San Marcos. Moderate traffic. I was overlooking an empty, rural field. Full Description & DetailsI was on a road trip with my parents when I was nine. We lived in Corpus Christi Texas at the time and were traveling to San Marcos to visit the out let malls. My dad was driving, my mom was in the passenger seat and I was laying down in the back seat with my head against the door.The sun had just gone down enough to see stars and I remember being bored and waiting to stop for dinner. I was looking at the stars for a while when I noticed a light not much brighter than a star moving in an odd fashion. It seemed to be at a high altitude and moved from side to side. I remember knowing that an airplane or helicopter could not preform like that because of my high interest in aircrafts at that age. For the few seconds I was watching this, I remember being completly stunned and intensely focused on it. After it vanished, I was totally confused about what I had just seen. I was quiet for a few seconds and then told my parents what I had just seen. I remember not getting much feedback from them and being saddend about their dismissal of my claim. Ive always remember that as the strangest thing I have ever seen and I still think about it from time to time. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Iam not an expert on aircraft, but I know enough about them to confirm that nothing man made could move in the manner that this light did. Witness BackgroundIam an eighteen year old white male. I played football in high school and graduated in 2005. Iam currently at the University of Kansas as a freshman. I come from an upper middle class family. Ive never been deemed as a nutcase and Iam a very social person. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI had seen a few shows on the discovery channel on UFOs as a little boy and had seen the movie Fire in the Sky when I was very young. I was extremely disturbed by Fire in the Sky, but was constantly reasured by my parents that aliens did not exist. Being as young as I was, I believed my parents without question. After I saw that small hovering light, I have been a believer and truly believe most accounts that people claim. Other CommentsI have a strangely intense fascination and fear of UFO's and extraterrestrials. I believe what I saw was an un earthly craft piloted by intelegent beings. Ive told friends of my sighting on several drunk occasions. None seemed to believe me as I expected. I am not seeking any attention over this, but the memory has been on been on my mind the past few weeks. An opinion from someone who studies this kind of stuff would be great.
