Orb of light dancing in the night sky.
At approximately 1:40 am I went outside to let the dogs go potty and to pee. After I peed, I noticed a bright light in the sky above some Live Oaks which were on my left. I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see what was making the light. But the light was so bright that it appeared to my unaided eyes as a spiderweb of light (like when you squint while looking at a light bulb in a dim room. The light appears as rays shooting out from the light bulb). This was my first indication that what I was seeing was not a star or planet. But it still could have been a low flying plane so I went back inside to get my glasses and phone. The sky was not obscured by many clouds and Wimberly is a dark sky City so I could see quite a few stars with my glasses on. And I could now see that the object was a white sphere in the sky. I watched for a moment as it slowly danced in the sky. It was dancing or "writing" relative to the surrounding stars and the canopy of the nearby Live Oaks. I caught about 2 minutes of it on camera. I will submit both the original video I shot and an edited copy. The edited copy is very interesting as I only zoomed in, brightened the background and added a vignette for reference (as my phone camera did not pick up either the stars or nearby tree canopy). When I saved a copy, the resolution changed to be much poorer. But that allows you to see that the object is actually rotating in the sky as it bounces around. Also you can see that is is not a star or planet as it is the only light in the frame, indicating that it is much brighter than the night sky, which indicates that the source of the light is in our atmosphere.
At 10:15 am I got my compass and noted that the object appeared at 90 to 100 degrees East from my location in Wimberly, TX.
