Oval over Haltom City, TX

The report, as filed

I recently began experimenting with my new camera. A powerful Nikon P900 camera which has an incredible 83X zoom. I just got it back from having it converted to full spectrum. So it will record in infrared and UV. I installed a 665nm IR pass filter with a MC/UV filter. I was in my backyard in the Mid-Cities, Texas, area and had pointed towards a plane flying overhead. It was on autofocus and my tripod was in the house. Once I lost sight of the plane behind the trees I scanned through the vapor trail which curiously looked like a chem trail. I was fumbling with the camera hoping to get it to focus when I caught a flash of light. I then zoomed in on the light and it came into focus a few times. I videoed for approx 5 minutes. I kept losing the object without the tripod so I made the decision to enter the house to retrieve it and come back out to film. In my excitement I never restarted recording!!!!!!! And dang it, I had it zoomed in and in frame and steady! But I never hit record. The video I do have is fairly compelling. You can tell it’s not anything like a standard flying craft we’re familiar with. It had a field around it and sometimes looked like a hamburger on it’s edge! Like a patty in the middle of two pieces of bread. Very strange. The time was approximately 5:45 PM Jan 27th, 2019. If you review the footage you can skip ahead to five minutes where I slowed the footage down. Peter, it pulsates. It’s very obvious. I just had to share it with you. I’m a regular listener to Coast to Coast and love what you add. I bought this camera for this purpose and if I captured this so randomly I imagine I will have more and better footage to produce in the future. Oh, I was filming towards the southeast from the North Richland Hills area about an hour from sunset. Best regards...
