UFO orb like star right now in roundrock/austin area.

Pics?

I would post pics but i don't have a camera and it just looks like an unusually big bright star.

the only reason i'm curious is cause when i look at it through a telescope, it moves slowly

Okay, thanks!

i saw the same thing last night?? i thought it was just a very bright star at first... then i squinted my eyes cuz i thought i saw it moving very, very, slowly. Then, the thing started to dim..it dimmed down to just a small fine point of light within about 10-15 seconds, then it was gone. It wasnt moving fast enough or far enough to be a meteor... i dunno... i consider it my first real sighting lol

I am in round rock about 1/2 miles to the south of dell diamond. I was walking out to my garage and this fireball thing came right over head.Moving real slow and kinda of fizzled out after about 3 min of staring at it! yelled to wife and she saw the last 15 seconds before fizzling out! I could see it very clear I just stared at it- never seen anything like that before in my 55 yrs! I saw it like it was 200 ft above me looked like a small kid balloon with 6 little fires inside? there was no wind so i dont know how it moved across the sky... this is quite weird 689 4803 so jason saw it yesterday- i saw it about 8 tonite - Ill be looking thursday nite!

I just saw what i initially thought was an aircraft entering my field of view from the southern sky. As a sky watcher i thought it might be an aircraft coming into georgetown or on approach to austin executive. after waiting for beacon lights, strobes, or the sound of a jet or prop engine, i started to think it was a satellite. It was way too low though. As it passed overhead it seemed to turn a reddish color and then disappeared as if it were passing through an invisible wall. There were no trailers and it didn't move at the speed of an inbound meteor or a falling star. i watch the sky constantly as an aviator and and as a stargazer and i have never seen anything like this- not even in the various regions of the planet that i have explored. hopefully someone else saw it too.

I videotaped it also, but my galaxy phone did not pick up what was in the field of view. nothing but blackness and audio shows up. i would love for someone with more experience than i to try and recover what was captured.

Keep Round Rock weird.

keeping it weird here bro, but i know what i saw. this thing was moving at a snail's pace. very odd and the way it entered into my field of view was odd as well

and ultimately exited my field of view. That was the strangest. It didn't continue to cross the sky until it was so far out of site, it simply vanished.
