Stepped out to have a cigarette, noticed movement to my left, looked up in a northwest direction and noticed an object moving toward me at about 40 degrees to the horizon.Lights from the city cast a dim light upon the underbelly of the craft allowing me to determine it was solid and had shape. as it started moving overhead i noticed it had an array of lights underside, five total small in comparison to the overall size of the object, pinkish in color and appeared to be round in shape. the lights were configured in the the shape of a chevron. the craft itself had a very distinctive outline, that of a triangle. the craft moved in a straight line from nw to se making no sound, totally silent. the craft moved over the waters of lavaca bay and i lost sight of it. as to my feelings during the event, i became very exited, somewhat fortunate to be able to witness such an event. i was in a clear state of mind and knew what i saw was real. i had a very good and distinct view of this craft. as for the present i am left with a lot of questions and i would like to have some answers.
