UFO sighting in North Houston, TX

The balcony of my apartment has a dirct, unobstructed view of the quadrant from due West to due North.

At approximately 21:30 on April 13, 2005, I witnessed what appeared to be a typical aircraft light moving from West to East at estimated normal aircraft speed. The light stopped its forward progress at the approximate NNW direction from my balcony, and seemed to hover for a couple of seconds.

It then abruptly soared upward at a fast rate of speed, then shot straight forward rapidly from West to East. It hesitated again, momentarily, then the light disappeared. A few seconds later, at least three normal aircraft appeared in the sky (their lights relatively identifiable), traveling in a gerneral East - West direction. The object in question did not reappear.

Due to the darkness, and the absence of aerial refernce points, I could not estimate the object's distance from my location, nor its altitude. I do know, however, that I have never witnessed an airborne object moving so erratically. And, no, I was not under the influence at the time.
