As driving home from work on hwy 20 going west right pass loop 12 is my left distance I see a bright orange light pretty large and i see and work with aircrafts daily for work and that is no a/c it’s to close to the guard and the nose headlight is way to bright! But light gets bigger as it moves towards hwy 20. But as it flew over me I had sun roof open and no a/c commercial at that could fly that close to the Ground unless it was landing and I’m sorry there is no runway big enough nor long enough to accommodate that size of ac that was that close!! But evidently doesn’t land but weird thing is for that ac to be that close it made no sound! And bizarre a/c kept circling or idk if it was multiple but they kept going round it was strange , Erie , kinda ominous on why , and what’s the meaning.

I was with wife outside home in yard with dog on potty break. I as very familiar with aircraft, especially in DFW air space. Before seeing UFO’s, I noted DFW air traffic was heavy and being conducted in a southern flow. While watching sky waiting for our dog to finish, we noticed a UFO coming out of the east then turning north towards DFW. The UFO was a bright reddish orange light, moving at the speed and approximate altitude of DFW air traffic, but curiously in the opposite direction as the south and outbound DFW traffic. The UFO light was steady on, and color was not at all like typical aircraft aircraft (reddish orange instead of white, red, and green). The light color did not change when the UFO changed direction to the north, which was odd because it was moving north and I should have seen a red light on that side which would have been typical of routine aircraft moving in that direction. This was very odd since it would have posed collision risk! s, unless they were much much higher in altitude. I lost sight of it when it went behind neighborhood trees. Once it was gone, I noticed a second light that appeared the same, and behaved just like the first. It was repeated like this at least 5-6 more times by UFO’s that appeared and behaved exactly the same, albeit completely different from typical aircraft and traffic flow. The events ended around 21:05 - I saw no more afterwards even though I remained watching till 21:30.
