Seems as if it is hovering above the Oaks at Techridge Apartments. Been hovering for an hour and a half and still continuing. My first thoughts were is this either a UFO, drone, or a new type of child's kite? I happened see an identical occurrence here on this website back from 8 months ago in Nov 2017...this could very well be the same thing! I have another pretty good photo I can email. But I will attach the video.

[Witness later followed up to describe the UFO as silent, and to suggest it could be a kite but not a drone - due to its silence]

never been on this site before and not really a ufo kinda person haha, but was just curious to find out if anyone knew what the bright light in the sky was tonight. This picture was taken in Pflugerville TX near Austin facing west. Was hard to get a pic while driving, but it did not appear to be moving...at first we thought it was a jet reflecting with the sunset. Looked too big to even be a planet but maybe. I am not educated on what is currently brightest. I do think whatever it was was reflecting off the sun because although it was still visible it did get less firelike in the 15 minutes we watched it. Was hard to tell if it was actually moving but it did kind of seem lower on the horizon as the sun set and we could not see it from our house when we got home.

I was heading towards my gym, heading southward when I looked up in the sky and noticed an object forming contrails (puffs of smoke) while the object was traveling in counter close-wise circles. I stopped to take pictures and then I proceeded to drive towards the gym while observing the object. I took a few more pictures once I parked then I notices I can see the object was still in the circle making puffs of smoke as it was circling counterclockwise. While outside I couldn't see the object directly or hear any engines or motors.

At 7:20 pm tonight, I pulled up to the red light at 10th street and 1825 in Pflugerville - I was on 10th, about to make a right onto 1825, so my car was facing north east. There was a car on my left that was either going to go straight or make a right, sitting at the red light (a silver Lexus I think). It was dark, but a very clear, crisp night.

As soon as I stopped, I saw a group of lights in the sky that were framed by the various wires and poles directly across the street, but were clearly a lot further away. It was very hard to judge distance, but if I had to estimate, I'd say maybe 1/2 to 1 mile away, possibly more. The lights were not pinpoint white, bright lights like an airplane, but light orange/white, and seemed larger than usual for airplane lights. There were roughly 5 or 7, in a triangular formation that seemed to be slowly rotating. I watched for a few seconds, then wound my window down and pointed them out to the two women in the car next to me, who said something to the effect that they were already watching them, and had no idea what they were. There was another car behind them I think, but I didn't look back for long. The lights continued to slowly rotate. I'm pretty sure I could make out the darker shape of the object that the lights were attached to, which was triangular. It appeared to be turning so that it was upright and almost flat edge facing us. I started driving again, taking a right as I originally intended and continued to see it for a few more seconds, then it just disappeared. I looked for it again as I was driving up 685 towards Starbucks, out to my left across the fields, but saw nothing. The entire sighting probably lasted 45 seconds. I wish I had talked to the two women in the car next to me, and asked for their number or contact info so they could at least verify the sighting.

It was hard to judge distance, but I definitely had the impression of a very, very large object, that was quite far away - a mile or so perhaps.

I bumped into a police officer outside Starbucks on 685, and I asked him if anyone had called anything in regarding the lights, and he said no. He was very nice and patient, and listened to me basically waffle like a mad person for five minutes.

I will go out tomorrow evening and look from the same spot, with camera and binoculars. Please let me know if you hear of similar sightings in the area from tonight. I find it hard to believe myself and those two ladies could have been the only people to see it.

I've attached a map image where I've (really roughly) indicated where I was parked, and the direction I was looking when I saw the lights (see red dot and arrow in center of image). Note that the lights - as far as I could tell - were a mile or so away, so not on the attached map.
