Witness account

Narrative

I was stationed at Fort hood, tx driving to Austin on the highway. I saw a very bright light in the sky that was stationary at first, then it shot down extremely fast, did a few loops, and then shot straight up and disappeared. Definitely didn’t look like any aircraft maneuver I’ve seen and I was in aviation. It really looked crazy. Can anybody explain or give any input? submitted by /u/West-Committee-8479
