We were observing little dipper when one of it's points moved. It was a glowing white orb. Nothing more. It pulsed some as it flew across sky, very very high.When past our location heading out towards Lake Arrowhead it stopped turned and came back to about half way between where we first noticed near LD. Object looked like it stopped and faded away.

Walked outside.. didn't think much of it with stars & nighttime sorties near AFB. But sat out there are what appeared as a star.. this one suddenly moved North-NorthEast, stopped, moved slightly south, then moved again North-NorthEast then stopped. Since skies were clear it appeared it was between Bowie & Nocona. I went inside to get something to film this, came out & it was gone. This lasted 30-minutes & wish I had filmed it. Very bright inverted-diamond.

I was driving north on hwy 287 in Texas. I was a little past downtown Wichita Falls, Tx when I saw a blue object in the sky. The object resembled a comet or shooting star flying in the sky. It was light blue in color and also had a light blue tail. Initially I thought it was an object falling from the sky but as i watched it travel across my windshield it changed direction and then disappeared. The flight pattern was similar to a hook or check shape. The whole sighting lasted about 3 seconds. There was another passenger in the car who saw the object as well. He saw it out of a different window so that is what makes me think it was not a reflection.

Well, i watched harder. Yes, yes it was moving. But not like a plane going in one direction. It would go to the right, then left, down, up, a circle then up. A little orange light movings as if a fairy was hovering over your head. Anyways after 2 minutes of me and ((males''s initial deleted)) standing there in complete shock of what ((deleted)) we are seeing. Saying to each other "Omg baby" it starts to move to the left in one direction like as if a plane would for 10 seconds and was gone. We come back inside get in bed completely freaked out saying we arent crazy we both just saw that. Minds are blown. So we start looking up articles on ufo sighting Witchita Falls, TX. Ppl seeing exactly what we saw. So we check out you tube. This is damn near exactly what tf we seen including all the other videos. Idk if you ppl believe in aliens but i promise you if you were standing there with us you would of been just as freaked out. Im going back to sleep..

I was over at my boyfriend's family house that evening. I am unsure the exact date and my boyfriend cannot remember either. I usually don't stay past 9 or 10 pm. At around 10pm or 22:00, my boyfriend walked with me to my car which was parked on the street about 20 to 30 feet away from his house. We typically spend a few minutes together before I actually leave . That night, we were looking in the sky and we saw what we thought was a plan. We saw a solid white orb-like light moving slowly through the sky. We were watching it and I realized that this plan didn't have the flashing light that most planes I have seen have, but we still didn't think it was anything else but a plane. However, after watching the light move across the sky for a few minutes, the light suddenly changed directions sharply, and in an incredibly fast speed took off straight upwards and disappeared into the sky as if it reached a distance our eyes could not reach. Both my boyfriend and I were shocked as we had never seen an object so far away move so fast and in such a strange manner. To this day, we are unsure what it is that we saw, but we know it wasn't an airplane.

I saw an object about 1/2 mile away triangle shaped, one light on each point, grey metallic in color. I estimate it to be about 800 ft off the surface and travelling at a speed of around 3500 mph from east to west in the night. Condititons were very clear and dark with many stars in the back ground. Lights appeared to be blueish white, and very low intensity. Total time visible about 2 to 3 seconds.
