Lufkin, Texas - 01-29-12

Shape: Light - Duration: 20 minutes

Object hovering over abandoned industrial factory.

Distance - 250 yards looking west from the east side of facility Size - 20' Altitude - 60'-70' from ground Shape - oblong cylinder/cigar, object was a long horizontal light.

Industrial Factory - Latitude 31°21'28.93"N Longitude 94°40'32.02"W. I was notified by my uncle of a light over the industrial factory at about 8 pm. It was a bright, white light hovering over one of the buildings. It stayed there for 20 minutes before vanishing.

I live by this defunct facility. This is not the first light I have seen over it. It was unreported as it was New Year's Eve at midnight, and people were shooting off rockets, although not where I saw the light hovering over the smoke stack and has not been there since.

The ONLY lights the facility has are 2 red blinking lights atop the central smoke stack that is about 150'-175' tall. They are visible during day and night.

At first I wasn't sure of what my uncle was telling me about, he claimed it was a star. My uncle has mental retardation and Klinefelter's syndrome, so to him it was just a star, as he doesn't know the difference in stars, satellites, planets, or aircraft, so I decided since I had already seen an unidentified lighted object before that has since not returned I would investigate.

I tried to tell him it was too large to be a star or planet as well too low to the ground. He went back inside and I walked out of my yard and stood by the factory's fence to observe, the object for 20 minutes before it simply vanished.
