Light over Nacogdoches, TX

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My girlfriend told me to come outside and look at two "weird looking" stars she had never noticed. I saw two white lights that appeared to be normal stars in the northeast sky. The lights slowly began to move apart and then over a period of about 30 seconds completely faded away. They were very bright white and slowly dimmed to white-ish blue. They were not blinking or flickering. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Nacogdoches, TX

July 18, 2017. 9:25 P.M. Last night after having a fun time of dinner and conversation with 2 of my friends I headed home. It was 9:25 PM, when I slowed to make a 90 degree turn onto the road where my house is. I happened to look up into the sky, a very clear space above the road at that point with no trees blocking the view, and there were no clouds, and as I gazed briefly, I slammed on the brakes (I was only doing about 25 mph to turn) because a star like bright light just popped into existence. It looked like a magical appearance. All of this happened very quickly, and I thought, “Hell it’s them!” but then I thought “maybe it’s a comet, or a shooting star? But it was sitting still, and it had no tail. Then after about half a second it shot across the sky, and to me it looked like it moved 6 feet, which of course was much more than six feet, and then it just disappeared! No tail, no sound, and it didn’t dip down, it moved completely in a horizontal line parallel to the earth. So in about 2 or 3 seconds, it appeared, stayed there a second, then shot across the sky and instantly vanished. It didn’t disappear behind clouds or trees. It was in wide open sky. This morning I found no marks, punctures, or bruises, so apparently they did not visit me.

My neighbors from 2 separate houses, my children, partner and myself watched as just over the trees 3 sets of lights came through. One flew ahead of the other two. One back tracked the other one just froze in the air. Then they all carried in as another set of 2 came around, then another, again and again till 1 had passed by. They would eventually wrap around together til they were in a group and then vanish individually. It was really interesting. We called the sheriff's department but they insisted there were no scheduled flights near by at all which again makes us even more curious.

Nacogdoches, TX

While standing outside with a friend of mine discussing current events we noticed a light traveling from West to East at a fairly slow pace which I would compare to that of a light aircraft. We were able to watch this object move into our view field which was blocked by a tree line to the west, go overhead and over another tree line to the east. This light was a white light that at one point had gotten bright, and then dimmed back down to its "normal" bright glow. This caught my eye because I see aircraft nightly when I go outside and look at the stars and this object did not have any strobe lights. This was a solid light which I exclaimed to my friend was a rare event that I had never seen before. My friend was telling me how he thought that this vehicle was an airplane 747 or some object that had a bright light on it. Moments later while giving my viewpoints on how that couldn't be a 747, we watched as a second craft flew towards us from the sam! e western direction. I quickly pointed to the craft and said "Look" another one. We watched as this craft started approaching from the west and without a gradual turn the object changed direction without missing a beat or stopping and started heading South West. This second object was starting to head southwest out of our view field so my buddy and I walked towards the street that I live on so I could get a better view of where the craft was going and what it was. This craft traveled South West for maybe 10-15 seconds maximum and then seamlessly changed directions to moving in a South Eastern direction. The light continued to move Southeast until we lose site of the object over houses that blocked the horizon. At this point in time our eyes are plastered to the sky and we are comparing this light we witnessed with other obvious aircraft lights in the sky. By now we are searching for another object to appear from the west when directly above us another light pops i! nto view not coming from any direction but seemingly coming &q! uot;Down " into view and then starts heading what I would call directly South. This 3rd object we could only keep in our view for 30 seconds or so max before it was behind a treeline. All three of these objects were simply bright white lights that I would estimate to have been approx 10-15x the size of the North Star for perspective. I would estimate that the first two objects flew way under planes we were watching in the sky while the 3rd object was obviously much higher and a slightly smaller light. While this was happening the dogs in the area were very amp'd up and going nuts barking and when they passed a good distance from being directly overhead the dogs stopped barking. This happened on the first two craft while the third craft I do not recall if this happened. All three of these separate sighting happened within 15 minutes of eachother and I must say that I really do feel honored to get to have seen this. The third craft was really the one that got my buddy because his airplane theory went out the window when it appeared out of nowhere directly above the top of us and I mean directly.
