Witness Testimony

"object hovering over defunct industrial factoryDistance - 250 yards looking west from the east side of facility Size - 20' Altitude - 60'-70' from ground Shape - oblong cylinder/cigar, object was a long horizontal light.Industrial Factory - Latitude 31°21'28.93"N Longitude 94°40'32.02"W I was notified by my uncle of a light over the industrial factory at about 8pm. Bright white light hovering over one of the buildings. Stayed there for 20 mins before vanishing.I live by this defunct facility. This is not the first light I have seen over it. (unreported as it was new years eve[midnight] and people were shooting off rockets although not where I saw the light hovering over the smoke stack and has not been there since) The ONLY lights the facility has are 2 red blinking lights atop the central smoke stack that is about 150'-175' tall. They are visible during day and night.At first I wasn't sure of what my uncle was telling me about, he claimed it was a star. (my uncle has mental retardation and klinefelter's syndrome, to him it was just a star as he doesn't know the difference in stars, satellites, planets, or aircraft) So I decided since I had already seen an unidentified lighted object before that has since not returned I would investigate. I tried to tell him it was too large to be a star or planet as well too low to the ground. He went back inside and I walked out of my yard and stood by the factory's fence to observe, continued to watch the object for 20 minutes before it simply vanished. "
