As reported

Formation over Sulphur Springs, TX

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

The report, as filed

I was outside and saw about 15-20 fireballs flying in a weird design all stayed the same but moved really fast I ran inside the second I saw them and was like no way this is fucking happening wtf could that be other than a ufo and grabbed my cell phone but by the time i got the video recorder going the last of the lights disapeared behind clouds or something it was dark so i dont even know if there was clouds. It was to big to be man made ship,Could have been 20-30 missles or something getting shot somewhere but why over north east texas? Where would 30 missles be going in texas? I dunno man I wish I was fast enough to record it I never thought I would ever see anything I couldnt explain but damn sure did last night. The only reason Im on this site is because I was googling "12/30/17 weird lights/ufo over texas, but I dont seem to be able to find anyone else posting a picture or video or anything about it. I cant be the only one who saw this thing!

About 20 minutes before daylight on Opening Day of the 2014 Deer Season here in Northeast Texas. it was dark, no wind, no clouds, no moon, just star light & I'm straining to see my feeder through my binoculars when all of a sudden the entire area lit up like someone turned on flood lights. I quickly raised my eyes over my binoculars and could see the light was all around the tree I'm in too and its 80 yards from my deer feeder. My immediate reaction was getting mad thinking someone must be driving up spot lighting ruining my hunt, but there was no noise plus the way the shadows were falling I realized the light was coming from above me. That’s when I quickly look up and saw the 3 bright white lights moving West to East, and thought Wow! 3 shooting stars! EXCEPT that can't be either; they’re way too close and not moving fast. I watched the lights drifting, cruising, in a triangular formation over the woods for a few seconds and then they started banking a turn to the South East moving away from me. For a few seconds I could see a dim amber glowing ring of light surrounding the 3 bright white lights and then it just disappeared; like someone turned off all the lights at once. After it disappeared, I kept looking into the dark star lit sky hoping to see its silhouette as it moved on, but saw nothing... Just stars and none of them were moving. I never saw a profile of an aircraft, but when it turned the configuration of lights appeared to be aligned on the bottom of something round maneuvering like an aircraft banking a turn less than 100 yards from me. This all happened within a span of about 10 to 15 seconds, and I could hear my dog start barking in the distance at this same time, but no other sounds. I don't know what it was, but it happened & I saw it from my tree stand at a time & setting when I was wide awake with my senses tuned-in to every sound & movement in the woods. Opening day of the 2014 deer season is one I'll never forget. Please see other report from Texas for the same time and date. PD

Sulphur Springs, TX

Saw one while going through a neighborhood on way to taking kids out, didn't hear anything but something told me to look up. Just as I did there was a slow low moving ufo the size of a RV coming over a house and tree. It was moving very very slow. It was maybe a foot or two from touching the top of the tree. I screamed look and everyone looked out the window. It had a pure solid gold bottom the rest was like a black onyx looking material, it had green red and white lights that flashed in a sequenced pattern. It faded away. This is the second ufo I've seen within a year, First one is the Thanksgiving before, We walked outside, something said look up. Right when I did a neon blue dot streaked across sky stopped long enough for us to see then darted off.
