SIGHTING: AUSTIN, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My wife and I have a place in the Austin Texas that we stay at when visiting the states. It's a rural horse property. We're Americans and we had just finished packing for our trip back to Zürich Switzerland, where we live and work. It was around 1:15am. I wasn't tired so I thought I'd enjoy one last night (officially morning) on our porch which has a nice view of the sky. I sat there making a mental inventory of my trip ahead when I notice what appeared to be a flickering star. There was some light cloud cover but the flickering appeared to be independent of passing clouds. I assumed it was an inbound plane and since the Austin's airport would be closed at that hour, I thought it must be military. However, the lights didn't get any closer or further away and upon closer evaluation with the naked eye, I could see a distinct pattern of blinking lights. About fifteen minutes had passed and being curious, I went inside to get my binoculars. My wife was still up so I asked her to join me outside for a look. We both went outside and to our astonishment, we could see three lights rotating in sequence. The lights were mostly white in color with modest blue, red and green hues. It levitated there for about 30 more minutes, moving only slightly - but passing clouds made its actual movement hard to discern. We are both well educated and I have some aviation and drone experience and yet I can not identify the origin of this light source."
