Large dark object hovering east to west over Houston Suburbs.
I was relaxing in my friend's backyard while looking at orions belt and other obvious formations as Houston is too bright to see very much else. Suddenly I noticed something moving in the middle of where I was looking. It was not obvious at all as it was not emitting any light at all. The only way I was able to see it was due to the fact that the moon was pretty bright that night and the shadow underneath this object provided just enough contrast to see it. It was travelling east to west and held a steady speed comparable to a helicopter. It looked either relatively close (like a helicopter) or very huge. Really, it seemed both big and close. It is hard to tell with no light coming from it though. Either way it would have been close enough to hear if it was a helicopter or airplane or anything with an engine. The shape was large and seemed round. It was absolutely silent and gave me a very creepy feeling. It was dare I say it...camoflauged against the night's sky. I looked away a few times to make sure it wasn't a spot on my eye or something in my head and found it everytime I came back to it. I called my friend over after I could make some words out. He didn't get up in time and it was hard to make out if you weren't watching it the whole time. I then lost it behind an unavoidable tree blocking our view. I never saw it come out the other side either.
If I had to make a guess as to it's path it seemed close enough and travelling in the right direction to be generally following or flying over the bayou. Which would be a very discrete path to take for any object trying to hide. It left me shaken really as I knew something was flying low and big and silent and dark as the sky. It was pure luck I was practically looking at it as it crossed my eye while watching stars. I am not sure as to when this day was exactly as I forgot to post here. But it was last year before it got really cold. Maybe October instead of Sept. I would like to be contacted by e-mail to see what you guys think and if you've ever gotten reports of things dark with no lights as I don't see many.
