hovering far away object doing zig zags i have seen this one two times before, back in 99 and in 2000. this object appears to be as far away as the stars, it is flashing red, you can barely see the flash, but it is there, and the object is bright as well. i know it isnt a star because sitting in the same position it ended up farther east than it was at first without myself moving. it kept doing zig zag like patterns and it would go to the left and back to the starting position and to the right and vice versa, each time going back quicker than foward. it was too far away to get a great close up look at it, but i am certain it was not a jet or helicopter as it stayed around the same area for a long time. it was still there in the sky when we got home and i went inside and went to bed. like i said i have seen it twice before. it was in the eastern sky and east of us is beaumont texas and louisianna in case someone else around there reported anything.
