Location: Wimberley, TX, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Object high in the sky, above jet flying zones, moving in tiny loops and forward and quickly in reverse.

I noticed a moving object and believed it was a satelite orbiting---it was approxiamately the same size and color---white reflection. I pointed it out to friend, but then the object made a direct right turn, so we believed it could be a plane. The object then began to go in reverse, impossible for a plane. The light became brighter and an orange light shoine from the object then. The object continued to move forward and back, then in tiny little loops. We then questioned if it could be a falling airplane, but it's height did not change much. This continued for sometime, and then an actual airplane flew by, far below the object. The object then became still and did not move for ten minutes. WE then left the area---confused but assured it was not a plane, and far too high for a helicopter.
