i was going out to toss some some trash in the garbage can and noticed a airplane perparing its landing procedure from the east and as i looked at it i saw a red light behind it, it had looked like it was following the airplane but as it flew the red light looked like it was slowing down from it original speed then it just slowed down dramaticly as if it were still, as i observed it had beggun moving very slowley due south as it kept going it got brighter then it just went from on and off maybe around five times after it just kept going south after a few minutes it just flickered and went east at an outstanding speed as it speed it didnt disapper but it flickered till it just was gone, i wasnt nervous or anything but i was just that is a ufo i know how aircraft move and the certain lights they have,this was a red light just a light and was going to slow to be an aircraft and did not match any movements of a helicopter especilly when it flickered and speed off at amazing speed this was a ufo and many of my neighbors saw it as well it wont be surpising if many reports of this object arise here in south texas sadly my camera did not capture the object but this is my report i know plenty of aircraft and military crafts and this was not one.
