Egg over Rowlett, TX

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

The report, as filed

I saw an egg shaped object last night between 1:02 am and 1:15 am over north Rowlett, Texas. It sat there for a long time, enough time for me to get my hubby up who used to be a pilot, but he wasn't very interested. My husband thought it was a star or planet and went back to bed. I grabbed my glasses. I went back out to watch it for about 10 more minutes. It seemed to be rotating and wobbling slightly and released what looked like steam a couple of times during that observation. I left, and then came back out 3 minutes later and it was gone. I don't know what this was, it was not any type of commercial aircraft. And during that time there was no commercial flights observed. I may have been 3 to 4 miles away, but that is only a guess. I couldn't get my cell phone to capture it due to the darkness. This was interesting for sure. Thank you.

Then stopped and flame went out and went up and disappeared. We have amended the time above, in order that the report reflects a nighttime sighting, which we assume is the case. Witness elected to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

I saw what looked like an airplane with a large orange flame behind it and the engine roar was quite loud.

Came from across the street hovered over the neighbors house the size of a baseball , pointing down as if to spy on the house so I freaked and it pointed at me and shut off the brightest light and glowing red then it hovered off as if it was embarrassed. I've never been so scared in my life. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
