Sphere like crafts were seen all over town by many witnesses. Some sightings started in day light and others were around 21:00. People reported seeing orb like figures in the sky that would quickly change directions and some would split into more all over town. Many of us tried taking pictures or video, but it didn't show up on camera. we also heard a lot of noises like if helicopters where nearby. And saw a large yellow orange sphere come down. Also during that time a lot of our pet dogs seemed very restless, and a lot of barking. (( We have sent a note to a local newspaper in Eagle Pass, to inquire whether their offices had received any report about the alleged incident. PD

First you couldn't see it, then one side of it lit up with a light that looked to vibrate and right after that light dimmed another light came on which looked like a camera flash. I felt as though we were having our pictures taken. Video to follow, if I can get my hands on it.
