My Sighting

Spring time 2009. I was driving home from my friends house heading south on Dallas North Tollway. I exited onto 635-LBJ Freeway east. You almost pull an immediate 90 degree turn to head east on that exit. When I made that turn, I looked out to my left-rear window to the west, glancing at traffic behind me heading my way, when I noticed a fairly small oval-shaped object (like an egg on its side) with very bright neon lights displaying 4-5 colors across the length of the object and about 8000-10000 feet off the ground (my guess). The lights seemed to be moving across the length of the object, alternating colors as they moved. It was about the size of a pencil eraser held at arms length. Well as I was driving in traffic, I couldn't exactly peer over my shoulder back at the object, so i just drove on, hoping I would see it when I headed south again on I-75 (my next exit). When I exited onto I-75 south, I didn't see anything at first, but after I drove along for about 4 miles or so, I noticed the object looming high in the western sky, but this time a little more over-head, seemingly closer-- about the size of a marble held at arms length now. it was very bright, those neon colors still moving along the side of the object. I exited west off the interstate towards home and somewhere along the way through the neighborhoods I lost sight of it. I turned back around and drove back out to the highway to see if I could get another look at it but I couldn't find it. It was gone. I told some friends about what I saw. I still cant explain it- it was definitely not a blimp- I have never seen a blimp this high up and with lights this bright moving like they did...it was quite bizarre. I still don't know what it is that I saw. I know what I would like for it to have been ;p I wish I had had my damn camera in the car, as my phone at the time was less than up to date. Needless to say I am much more prepared for a sighting now after that incident! Camera: check!
