Sphere over Leander, TX

The report, as filed
DATE/TIME: July 12, 2014. Between 21:00-21:30 LOCATION: Leander, Texas. (RM.1431 between Trails End Road & Anderson Mill Road) SKY CONDITION: Clear Skies. Good Visibility. It was not yet dark and the Sky was fairly well Lit. The "SUPER" MOON was above the horizon but low in the sky. The Sun was gone from view, but its light still present. It was not yet dark and MY POSITION: Driving East on RM 1431. Traveling ~55mph. This is a route I commonly take 4-5x per week. DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: Driving east on RM.1431, the SuperMoon was directly ahead of me and I was admiring the incredible view. Suddenly, this ROUND, WHITE BALL of LIGHT came streaking out of the Southern Sky to the North at an Altitude of approx. 700'-900' at a Distance of ~100'-150' in front of my vehicle. This BALL OF WHITE LIGHT (which I will call an ORB) moved so fast, I feared a plane was about to crash, but I could tell it was NOT a plane. No plane moves at this kind of speed. The ORB moved more like a shooting star, only its path was horizontal to Earth and gravity didn't seem to be affecting the movement of this ORB. As it streaked North, I had to look out my left window to follow it and as I looked North I expected to see this ORB already beyond the Northern Horizon. What I saw next clearly confirmed this was NO Shooting Star! As the ORB passed over me streaking North, I followed it by turning my head to look out my driver's side window. At the speed the ORB was traveling, I expected by the time I reacted and turned my head left that it would have been well beyond the Northern horizon. Once I located the actual position of the ORB, I was astonished to see that it had not shot out of view, but had stopped accelerating just after it crossed over RM.1431. But that's not all.....The Hi-Speed, Low Altitude ORB I witnessed had now become 2 ORBs and were in a 'wild dance' in the sky about 100'-150' to the north of RM.1431. As if the 2 ORBs were putting on a show for me, the lights went into a highly energetic, highly reactive state of movement that looked like a couple of Tasmanian Devils do the Tango. The 2 ORBs spun around each other, twisted, tied and twirled in a relatively tight area with one another for about 2 seconds and disappeared. I did not see how the 1 ORB became 2 ORBs. It could have split into 2, or perhaps paired up with another ORB not in my awareness... This is the best description I can offer of what I witnessed. SIDE NOTES: One final statement...I am a musician. For about 30 mins prior to my ORB sighting, I was trying to perfect the cadence of each syllable so that every word fit the music just right. I played my recording over & over singing these lyrics..... It's by Intelligent Design We're on this Rock Spinning through Space Spinning through Time Where Material overlaps The Paranormal that overlaps With the Divine That's what we find This is a song about our Universe and how this Physical world overlaps with the Paranormal world, which also overlaps with God's Infinite Divinity. We are connected in ways unseen to these other dimensions. I hope this doesn't sound crazy, but it's the truth....I heard on Coast to Coast AM that some people have invited ETs into their awareness and In the last week or two, I had actually made a few conscious requests for contact to see if anything would happen. Today it did.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Noticed a large light, no sound, climb in the West sky. Pointed it out to my son and started recording its movements. See video. SpaceX launch from Florida [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

My wife and I were in the pool of our apartment complex for a night swim, and we were looking up at the night sky. We saw what looked like a star, but it was moving rapidly and then it faded away. It did not have any flashing lights like a plane, and it did not have a tail like a shooting star. likely a satellite

This is late but I forgot to post this, woke up in the middle of the morning and after using the bathroom I saw out my bedroom window that there were 2 sphere shaped lights and I knew for a fact it wasn't airplanes, helicopters or even stars. Those lights have never been there and after about 30 minutes it was gone.

A clear day's afternoon I was sitting in the back yard and looked up at the sky. I saw a dot with a flashing light tracing an irregular trajectory that seemed to come out from behind a small cloud. The only cloud in the area at the time. It was a black dot high in the sky. The bright light flashed at 1 sec intervals. It moved in the 9 o'clock direction and turned 90 deg to the 6 o'clock not very far from the cloud. I reached for my cell to set the camera and when I looked up again, it had disappeared and also the small cloud. I wonder if anyone in the vicinity has reported this sighting.

I was stargazing one night from my backyard patio. Dim orange/red intermittent illumination round object traveling across the sky from West to East. No navigation lights as planes I did notice transiting that night so I ruled out the possibility of the sighting being an airplane. It was noticed first as what I thought was a shooting star in my peripheral vision but it never burned out but got dim and traveled in a zig zag pattern across the sky. I tried to track it with my eyes until it suddenly disappeared.
