Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

bright light hovering in south east sky just south of houston tx

I was driving home from north side of Houston,TX back towards my home in league city,TX at about 5am when I saw a bright light pretty far in the distance. I watched the light while I was driving on the freeway thinking it was a planes headlights, but by the time I pulled into my driveway 25 minutes later it was still there almost as though it was just hovering high enough where you could see it from anywhere. I got out of my car and lined a tree up in front of the light to judge if the light was moving or still. I stood there for an addition 10 min. and realized it was staying in basically the same spot not getting closer or farther nor did the light fade. I finally went inside and I have not been able explain what it was. unless there was a star that was very bright on this particular night. It was just a bright light towards the south east that seemed to be to close and to bright for a star but couldn't have been an airplane because the position stayed the! same.
