I was visiting my family, who lived in the middle of the country, in Thrifty, Texas.
My husband and I had a travel trailer, which was parked on the South side of the family house.
The night was clear and there were no clouds in the sky.
At approximately 4:00 a.m., I went outside to go to the restroom.
I looked into the northern sky, and I saw a red circle of light.
It was not pulsating, or making a noise.
It was about a mile in front of me hanging over the old oil well pumps.
At first, I thought someone put up a light, but then the red circle of light shot straight up and stopped, and then about 2 or 3 seconds later it shot, at a 45° angle, to the North leaving a red trail.
