As reported

Triangle over Kerrville, TX

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

The report, as filed

To the naked eye the object seamed to be not moving but red and green lights were lighting around the object sporadically and caught my attention so much I decided to start recording what me and my friend were witnessing. The beginning of the video I had my phone in my hand while it was directed straight at the object while i stepped forwards a place to prop up the phone. In the video I zoomed in as much as my phone would let me and just sat and watched my phone screen as it was recording the object. The glowing, light up object was pulsating as well as bouncing up and down up and down then would just disappear. All of a sudden the object would be back on the screen in a different position glowing brighter. When I would look away from my screen the object was not moving as far as I could see with my naked eye, but was darting all over the place on the screen which really freaked me out then the object disappeared again. Returned. Disappeared for a good while and then all of a sudden the object came back clear vision bright as ever and just kept getting brighter and bigger and turns green. Then disappeared and my camera couldn't record any longer.

Shortly after our 11:30 a.m. appointment began in our backyard which has a 180° unobstructed view from the southeast to the northwest, I noticed the object and asked" what is that in the sky?". The three of us were standing on the new patio the contractor had poured the entire length of the back of our house whose front faces South. I wondered aloud if it were another Chinese spy balloon since we all knew one had traversed most of the US before being destroyed off the east coast in the spring. As we watched the object move SSE the Contractor said it was too fast & too steady for a balloon. He also said the wind was coming out of the wrong direction for a balloon too move that way & that wind driven balloons are not that steady or straight as the whitish, squashed football object that continued across the sky. When it passed behind there was West Wall of the house, the Contractor & I hurried it to the front of the house by walking south on the patio past the garage. The Mason pointed to the object coming up to due South at the same altitude, speed & path. We could not tell how far away from our vantage point or how large the craft was. It continued on the same silent path until it passed out of sight to the SSE. It traversed more than 180 degrees of the sky in under a minute. I wasn't going to report it until I saw the same object in a different state Monday morning, July 24 in Colorado. I will make a separate report for that sighting.

While walking my dog, I noticed a circular ball of light that seemed to have a glow around it that was revolving as it moved. It appeared to be moving like a shooting star at a much slower speed. It moved in a straight path for a few seconds and was at its brightest when I first noticed it. Soon it began to move erratically; it appeared to stop in place for a few seconds then move in a different direction with speeds alternating between fast and slow. The strangest part is its altitude also spiked very fast and when it went higher the light seemed to disappear until it was in a new position in the sky. I live very close to Mooney airport so I am familiar with aircraft, but the planes I see have more than one light, usually two in front and one in back, also they don’t have glow around them. I have seen a couple planes with headlights but none that emit light similar to the spinning of a lighthouse. I got the sense from it’s behavior that it was searching for ! something. I asked my brother to check it out, but the time it took for him to walk two feet from under the porch into the yard, it disappeared from the night sky. I walked to the back of my house and noticed very bright flashes of white and blue light coming from the trees on the right side of the woods in my neighbor’s backyard. The diameter of the light looked to be about 7ft and maybe a foot or two off the ground. There was no noise and the flashes seemed to overlap each other. In just 15 seconds, there were probably 25 flashes.

I had observed this several times but on this morning it was close enough to view some detail with my binoculars. The object was in the south west sky in the lower quadrant toward the horizon. It appears as a triangle with red lights at the corners, because I could see more detail this time a metallic sphere was in the middle of the triangle and when it stopped moving the sphere would move out of the triangle then prior to moving again the sphere would move back into the triangle and it would continue on a random course moving up down and horizontally. Once as an aircraft approached the object lowered to the horizon and set there until the plane was well past its position then rose up and continued the random pattern. I have witnessed these objects (I have seen up to 3 at one time) for the past year but this was the first time to be able to make out any detail.
