Light over Alice, TX

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

The report, as filed

At about 4am, I was coming home and a friend and I saw this huge light in the sky right outside my apartment. It was either really big or really close. At first it sat stationary and looked like truck headlights in the sky. Then as my friend started to record it started to move downward and to the right behind some trees out of view. As if it new we were watching. It stayed behind the trees for a good minute, but then changed course and started to head back into our view. Its color changed to a red color and slowly faded into the distance before disappearing

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130298). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Alice, TX

We were outside listening to music and talking around a fire, and I had a feeling to turn around, especially since I’m always looking at the sky, but I turn around and I noticed a bright hit orange ball floating past my neighbors house, I just remember saying real loud “WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!, and it floated over the alley into the vacant lot behind my neighbors and it floated to the next street until we couldn’t see it because of trees and houses. This light was floating along at a steady pace and it wasn’t floating high in the sky, this thing was about 40-50 feet from the ground. I did take video and do have some pictures which I did catch an object.
