Location: Hestes (Union Pacific RR siding between Hutto and Tayl), TX, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

Oval shaped object like a domino with rounded cormers with rows of white lights, moving at high speed.

I saw one object, moving East to West. It had to be moving very fast because it was only visible for 10 to 12 seconds. I am a locomotive engineer by profession, I was sitting in a Union Pacific Railroad siding called Hestes, located btween Hutto and Taylor, Texas. I had pulled in behind another train and was waiting for an opposing train. I walked out the back door of the engine and was standing on the walkway. Hestes is rather remote and is a good place for star gazing, that's what I was doing when the object caught my eye. The lights on the object gave it an oblong appearance, sort of like a domino with the corners rounded off. Some of the lights on the object appeared slightly oblong also. The lights were white, but not a brilliant white, they did not appear to shine downward and there were no blinking lights visible. The object appeared about 1:15 AM. It was a clear night.
