Texas-09-24-A star-like object was
observed in the northeast, at about 60 to 70 degrees above the
horizon. The attached video was taken using a max 10x optical zoom
miniDV camera. The object was also observed using a telescope, 10x
binoculars (hand held and shaky), and photos taken using 3x max
optical zoom camera.
Through the telescope, the object appears as a silver ball, but
with a pendulum with a silver chord attached to a small ball at
the end. The pendulum moved back and forth and around the object.
The attached video was cut from the original size (12 minutes).
The object moved slowly during filming, and was stopped shortly
due to interference from a tree.
The similar object was observed two days before, but it
abruptly exploded. The explosion resembled fireworks. No video was
taken, but a video of a similar explosion can be viewed on youtube
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CewH99F0K0). The pendulum is hard
to see on the youtube video, but it is there.
The object was seen again on Dec. 4, but as only a beautiful
silver ball, with no pendulum.
