Bright hovering light seen over Hamilton, Texas, with a smaller object with flashing lights alongside it.
January 15th, 2008 at 6:15 am in Hamilton, Texas I was taking my dog outside to let it use the bathroom. I looked to the East, where I have seen objects appear in the past, and I saw a light that was not a light in the usual constellation patterns. I look at the sky in this direction every time I take my dog outside, so I know right away if a light is appearing in a spot where there is normally not a light/star.
It moved around a bit, and then grew very bright, like a car headlight coming at me, and was very large, then dimmed to the brightness of a star, and then repeated the sequence again at least 3 or 4 times, while hovering and moving about slowly in random directions. It looked to be about at the height that a helicopter flies, but it definitely was not moving the way I have seen helicopters maneuver. It was about 4 miles away from where I was.
I was in the US Army for 6 ½ years, so I have seen quite a few varieties of aircraft, and know when something is moving in the sky, in a non-traditional aircraft way.
Off to the right (South) of that light, there was a smaller object, which had a small white light in the center, and a ring of flashing colored lights across the center of the object. The flashing lights were mostly blue and red. This smaller object moved around in random directions more than the larger object did.
I watched it for about 20 minutes and then went back into the house.
