| Object heading direct west moving about 3 times the speed of a plane, with one light flashing, jumping from position to position. I have never seen a UFO or anything resembling one before. I was outside at about 10:15 pm CST and looked up to see a flashing light. At first I thought it was a low-level airplane, but as I watched it (it was only one craft) it's behavior was extremely unusual. The object flashed a white light approximately 6 or 7 times during the entire 10 or so seconds before flying off into the horizon. It was moving very fast, about 3 times the speed of a normal aircraft. It was heading nearly direct west at first, flashing twice, appearing to jump between each flash. Then, it 'jumped' to a 90 degree angle south from the original flight path, blinking once again. With each blink, it seemed to travel about the same distance. It again, jumped and flashed direct west, then took another 90 degree angle jump to the north, where it flashed again, seemingly to resume it's original course. I said "do you see that?" to my husband and the thing flashed again, still on the path headed direct west, then very quickly flashed a couple more times and took off toward the horizon until it was out of sight. |
