NUFORC Sighting 74494

Occurred: 2010-02-27 23:10 Local
Reported: 2010-02-27 21:31 Pacific
Duration: 4 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Spicewood, TX, USA

Shape: Circle

Large flaming light pulsed dim to bright then faded into darkness over Lake Travis.

If the zenith or straight up is 90 degrees than the blinking flame red light was approximately 25 degrees from horizon. My view was from a high position over looking Lake Travis and the hills around it. The shape was circular, although, it had the effect of appearing to be two lights/circles contained in one "craft". But what was clear was that it was a deep flaming color that didn't indicate any aircraft I've ever seen, but possibly a satellite, though it would be very large if one. I watched as the light pulsed from dim to bright at a slow pace. After a few minutes it went dim to darkness.
