SIGHTING: PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I had just gotten out of work around 10pm and waiting outside for my ride. One of my coworkers was with me, he and I were smoking a cigarette and talking when all of a sudden this object appeared in the sky. At first I thought I was observing some sort of firework because it just seemed to appear out of nowhere. It almost seemed as if it was hovering for a few seconds before it fell towards the ground leaving behind a sparkling trail. Both of us witnessed this which lasted about almost a minute before it dissipated completely. My coworker was excited and asked if I had seen it to which I replied that I had. We talked about it and he said he had never seen anything like it before. We discussed if it was a shooting star and we both decided that we had never observed a shooting star lasting that long, nor had we seen a shooting star so large.What we witnessed was a large ball of light that seemed to pulsate almost. It was a greenish white color and the trail it left behind was like a bunch of sparkles. To our left was the building where we work at and there were a few others outside and Im sure they witnessed as well, not sure though but I will find out. To our right was Wal-Mart with loads of people so I know he and I couldnt possibly have been the only witnesses to this. It was a very odd shape, almost tear like. Im not quite sure what I saw but I dont believe it was a shooting star. It seemed a lot different than what I have seen in the skies. "
