| Bright light falls to ground, changes directions several times, then descends to earth. I was going home from work at about 11:15pm. I work in Fort Worth, but live in Denton and I was traveling on I-35W heading north. As I was reaching the Ponder area I noticed what looked like a bright falling star go directly straight for the earth in the north (straight ahead). I thought it was a falling star until I saw the light go out and then immediately come back on, but it was stationary. Then I watched as it flew (about as fast as a jet) straight west, then turn straight east. As this was happening, it would sporadically get dimmer, then really bright (brighter than a typical star). I watched it turn west once more, then it hovered in one spot, just west of I-35. Then I saw it slowly go down and, I assume, land. It was bright as it landed, and I could see the trees around it as it descended. What amazed me was it's ease of turning directions, without slowing down. |
