I saw these same lights about seven months ago, it is not a star, I know that for fact.

[eastforker]

Been prety much in the same spot for the last 40 minutes.

Can you get a picture of the light?Having spent many nights driving a John Deere,I can tell you that a lot of strange things are visible if you just pay attention.

[txhurl]

Houston ping list?

[GeronL]

I tried a couple of websites but I still don’t know if it could be a planet or something. Too much light pollution in Dallas for me to see it. ;p

Oh and why isn’t this in breaking news?

[Nervous Tick]

>> Multicolor light to the east of houston, red,blue white,green. Anybody else see it

Can’t help you there, FRiend; I haven’t taken any of that stuff since high school, more than thirty years ago...

Camera phone?

[Jack Hammer]

Could be the United Nations is setting up their new ambassadorship none too soon.

Mark my words, one of these days one of these lights is gonna land and disgorge someone who demands, “Take me to your leader.”

[Senator Pardek]

After today's press conference, they know the jig is up.

Here they come!

[The Comedian]

Did they look like this?

I'm wondering because of this thread.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The Buchanan Brothers provide an explanation here.

[catfish1957]

Saw them too. I live north of Beaumont, and the lights were in that direction.

Jupiter is bright in the sky right now, and has a bit of an odd color, especially just above the horizon. Look at it through some binoculars and see if there are any little ‘white dots’ around it. Those would be its moons.

[mplsconservative]

Sounds like the northern lights we see in Minnesota, but you’re not, well....north. Strange.

[mtg]

Could be a sundog.

[labette]

Just went out and looked. {extreme SE Kansas}

I see a very bright planet at about 120 degrees on my compass. {east/southeast}

I estimate the elevation to be about 20 degrees above the horizon.

[McLynnan]

Prepare to be beamed up!

It was Obama blowing his top.

[cydcharisse]

I’m looking at millions of tiny lights in the sky. What the heck is going on? Some of them are like, twinkling, others aren’t. Please, I’m desperate, what are these strange lights?
Does anybody else see them?

This was a next to nothing observation on my part as compared to most of the observations I've read about here and other places.
I was behind my workshop around 1:00 AM, having the last cigarette of the day (wife won't let me smoke in the house), when I noticed an unusually bright star twinkling in the south, southeast. The first odd thing that attracted my attention was its' brightness (about three times as bright as Venus, maybe a little more).
The sky was crystal clear and there is not very much light pollution (I live in the sticks, thank goodness). This thing was going from white, to blue-white, to super bright blue-white (brighter than a welding arc up close), to nearly fading out and then repeating (this is how I remember the colors [ sure of colors and sequence]).
It was about 30 to 40 degrees off the southern horizon and not moving. I was so entertained by the thing, I fired up another cigarette and debated on opening up my workshop and getting the small telescope (el cheapo I won at a company party, 60 power normal/120 with barlow lens). I use it for long-range target practice, saves a lot of walking to and from target. Thought it could be the landing lights of a plane coming in my direction or a chopper with search lights on. The thing just hung there with no apparent movement.
I finally decided to get off my butt and get the telescope, as I stood up this thing shot to the west as fast as a hauling meteor. I mean from south, southeast to western horizon in a second to maybe a second and a half at most.
If it was a craft, somebody's got the inertia and/or mass thing figured out pretty damn good. No Idea of its' distance or size, just guessing I would say at least 5 to 6 miles away (that's just a wild a$$ guess), viewing duration 2 cigarettes (5 to 9 minutes ???).
This happened in Sept. 2002, so it took me 55 years to finally see something UFO like.
My biggest regret is not going get the scope from the start or going get my wife to come out and have a look. It sure would be nice to have someone who would say "Yep, I saw it to". A lot of people here say "why didn't the witness do this or do that". I can tell them it is very, very easy to be a goof and do nothing constructive as to identifing the object. It just took me too long to finally realize that it probably wasn't a plane or chopper before it flashed to the western horizon. Read the New Orleans paper and the local paper for a week or so to see if anyother person saw it, looks like I was the only "nut" out looking at the sky that night, LOL. But really thinking about it, I didn't report it, why would anybody else report it and take the risk of being called a nut. Over the years have played and replayed this in my mind a bunch, still have no good explanation of what the heck it was.
Anyway that's the "Old" Cajun's account of a light in the sky doing something I think was weird and not easily explainable ;^)
