Full Report Text:
Bright light falls to ground, changes directions several times, then descends to earth. I was going home from work at about 11:15pm. I work in Fort Worth, but live in Denton and I was traveling on I-35W heading north.
As I was reaching the Ponder area I noticed what looked like a bright falling star go directly straight for the earth in the north (straight ahead). I thought it was a falling star until I saw the light go out and then immediately come back on, but it was stationary. Then I watched as it flew (about as fast as a jet) straight west, then turn straight east.
As this was happening, it would sporadically get dimmer, then really bright (brighter than a typical star). I watched it turn west once more, then it hovered in one spot, just west of I-35. Then I saw it slowly go down and, I assume, land.
It was bright as it landed, and I could see the trees around it as it descended. What amazed me was it's ease of turning directions, without slowing down.

Green light hovering of I35W denton texas hovered moved right to left very fast then went south suddenly Driving on I35W looked up and caught a green blur up in sky hovering. It then moved quickly to the east, hovered again, then sped to the south very quickly and dissapeared. Much faster than any plane or known aircraft.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date is approximate. PD)).
Full Report Text:
Bright, wobbling, white light moving accross the sky, no sound and moving fast compare to other airplanes and satellites. I was with a friend when we noticed a bright white light moving across the sky. It was 5 times larger than the biggest star in the sky at the time and twice as bright.
It at first appeard to be an airplane since an airport is nearby and other aircraft were simultaneously visible, however as it went overhead there was no noise and we noticed a wobbling effect every couple seconds. I should also mention that these aircraft were likely commercial or private and weren't pursuing this object. There were also a couple satellites tracking across the sky high up in the background moving in varying directions, they were MUCH smaller and appeared to be moving MUCH slower than the object in question.
This light headed SE from NW and would suddendly wobble left and right, in a predictably rhythmic fashion every couple seconds or so. It wasn't changing course, instead, it appeared to rattle and continue straight. then over again, similar to wathing the line on a heartbeat monitor.
It eventually faded out of view. I've seen this object once before around the same time of evening on what appeared to be an identicle track, size, and brightness however there was no wobbling on the first occasion. I chalked the first sighting up as maybe a VERY LOW flying satellite if a type I've never seen.
My best guess for this most recent sighting is perhaps a weather balloon caught up in a large airmass with some resonant turbulance. Who knows???? ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain semi-anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).
