Changing over Bellaire, TX

The report, as filed

A silver, metallic, cigar shaped craft appeared coming steadily from the south in the southern sky. It was flashing lights or rotating and catching the sun. I took it to be an airplane since it was silver, oblong & flashing lights. This was Sunday 9/25/22 about 6:10pm. I feel like it ‘noticed’ me. It slowed down to hover directly over my house. Numerous small red & blue ‘satellite’ lights appeared around it. First 8, then 10, 11, finally 12. At first they were moving around the main, large light like fire ants coming out of their disturbed nest. Some appeared to hover in a line, while others formed a V with 3 or 4 lights. They kind of were steady lights like stars in the night sky, yet twinkling in the daytime sky. I wondered if they were forming constellations. Meanwhile, the silver craft was either rotating & catching the sun because it seemed to flash light at me. Sometimes, the main light appeared round and sometimes cigar shaped. While it hovered, a white airplane seemed to fly over it and veer away to the east. That plane seemed like it was slightly higher elevation than the main light. Shortly after, another Southwest plane at much lower altitude passed nearby on its way to Hobby Airport. The ‘satellites’ seemed to ‘lose interest’ and move southward. Then the main craft also started moving slowly south again. Slowly and with continuous flashing/ spinning it went back south and seemed to gain altitude. While observing both the main lights & satellites, they appeared to have a ‘halo’ of lighter blue against the sky’s blue. This is the second time I saw the silver flash of light that seemed to hover. The first time was probably Thursday 9/22/22 about 11:15am. Again, a silver pinpoint object very high up was either shining a light or catching the sun. I thought it might be a plane, but it seemed to move strangely; it had been moving steadily westward in the western sky without contrails. It seemed to slow down then stop. When I got up to grab my phone, I lost sight of it. Like today, the craft seemed to slow down & hover when I noticed it. I have videos that are probably too large to upload. I was swimming both times.
