Reported: 1999-10-12 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 1hrs
No of observers: 2

Location: Montgomery, TX, USA

Shape: Light

Pinpoint of light travelled from east to west breifly then hovered for about an hour then disappeared.

At 21:30 (CST) I looked out of my window to see what I thought was a plane. It was a pinpoint of light about twice as bright as venus and had an orange yellow hue. Watching the light from my window I looked for other blinking lights like you normally see on aircraft wings etc. I thoght something was strange when no other lights were visable. Expecting the object to pass over my house I went outside to get a better look, as I had a strange feeling. I spotted the light outside onlt to find it had stopped forward movement but did sway from side to side as if were hovering, much like a helecopter. We ruled out a helecopter because we could not here it nor were ther any other lights around it like you normally see on a helecopter. Also we can't think of a reason why a helecopter would hover at that alltitude in a rural setting. Watching the pinpoint of light for thirty minutes or so I finally went to bed. I woke up at 00:30 (CST) and looked to find the light was now gone.
