Duration: unknown
No of observers: 2

Location: Austin, TX, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

From SW Austin btween Austin/San Marcos stationary object in sky 1 mile up w/ lights.

Looking southeast from the Oakhill area of SW Austin, while closing blinds, I noticed a strange light in the sky appearing betwen Austin & San Marcos, approx 1 mile above ground. Object hovered & was quite bright, had other colored, lights but was too far away to see exactly how many, what color, etc. Did not look like any man-made aircraft or satellite. I notified my roommate who was alarmed as well. We watched for nearly an hour as it hovered. We went outside for better view, eventually going to bed after 2 hrs. of object hovering, approx. 4 am, awoke & object was gone. This was not a star or aircraft, this was a bright object w/ many lights hovering. through binoculars object appeared to have multiple surfaces.

Additionally, roommate & I saw black helicopter a few weeks later. Helicopter was silent & flying over sw Austin & struck us as odd for we had never seen a quiet helicopter. Roommate has also seen a similar copter over his land in rural central TX near La Grange.
