I was driving east on interstate 80 heading towards Terrell Texas from forney. It appeared right in front of me and lasted for maybe a second and a half to 2 seconds and appeared to almost skip off the atmosphere. There was a trail and then nothing and then another trail.

It was like it skipped off the atmosphere. It started and was there for a very short time, then reappeared immediately after going in the same direction
