"I watched it hover for about 5 minutes" - Large Star-like Object Disappears Over Fort Worth Area

• When: June 4th, 2020 at 12:15 PM
• Where: Fort Worth (Crowley/Burleson area)
  
• What: Large ball of light hovers and then disappears

A report of a very large star-like object that hovered for several minutes before vanishing in thin air has been reported to Texas UFO Sightings. This type of sighting - of "stars" that disappear - is common here in Texas, and around the world. So, what are people seeing? Are these alien spaceships, or is there an easier explanation? Read the latest testimony, graciously sent in by the witness, Chuck:

I live south of Fort Worth, in the Crowley/Burleson area. I had gotten up to get a drink and noticed through the window a bright light low to the horizon to the north. I figured it was probably an aircraft coming in to DFW, but it wasn't moving very fast if at all. I watched it hover for about 5 minutes when it flashed and then disappeared. There was other air traffic in the area which was easily identifiable as aircraft, moving and looking like planes should.

the object seemed to be 10-15 miles away (best guess).  It was as bright if not brighter than Venus.  I did not notice any noise associated with this object.  As for size, it seemed from my perspective to be l arger than a star or planet , which is one the things that drew my attention.  I also saw a similar object last week in the western sky.  Same size, brightness, and after maybe 15 seconds of spotting it, it flashed and then went out like someone turning off a light switch.  The night sky around here is pretty dark; ideal for watching the stars and satellites.
