Myself and a friend were driving east on Loop 610 South in Houston near I-45. As we drove up the elevated roadway, our eyes were naturally directed up towards the sky when we saw a red ball of light suddenly appear, then become elongated in a slightly inclined horizontal position, then disappear towards the north, after returning to the size of a small red ball of light.

A red ball of light appeared in the dark horizon as I was driving with a friend on Loop 610 South near I-45 in Houston. The light suddenly appeared in the far distance, became elongated as if moving to the north, then returned to the size of a small red ball before disappearing. It was almost as if the object were moving so quickly that it was in more than one place at one time, a sort of optical illusion. Both of the observers are honors students at a private university in Houston, one being president of the student council, the other vice-president of the Houston area Model United Nations.
