I was driving home from work and heading down my street when I saw a big green ball in the sky streak across the clouds and disappear into them. It was meteor fast, but seemed to be in the clouds, which obscured the sky in that direction. I was facing northeast, towards Fort Worth. I live just south of Weatherford, TX. It was much larger than an airplane light and was noticeably green. I am a hospital pharmacist working a 2:30-11 pm shift. It was so bright that it caught my attention. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

I was sitting in my living room playing a video game with a headset on. My German Shepherd starting barking like crazy. She is not much of a barker unless someone is on our property. I took off the headset and all I heard was LOUD helicopter sounds coming from the side of my house. (my house has 40 windows so I can see any which way). I stood up because it sounded like several helicopters and I could see 4 bright lights just above the tree line. I used to be a helicopter mechanic and the lights seemed kind of close together. I could not see shapes of the objects as it was dark out and I had no outside lights on. All I could do was hear the thunderous noise and see the lights. The noise sounded like they were hovering and at first, I literally thought we were being invaded. Then I thought, they are going to crash because the sound was so loud and close. I ran to the other side of my house at the front (I was on the back side) to the parlor and looked out the front window. I could see one faint light positioned towards my house. With the helicopter sound still going, I saw 4 sets of lights pass through my front yard and just over a telephone pole. I am telling you, they were no more than 20 feet above the tree line / telephone pole. I cannot honestly say it was helicopters. As I said, they seemed really close together for a standard helicopter. Now, they could have been that close if they were Cobra helicopters as those have a thin design. I called my husband who works in aviation (and was at work) and told him and he said to call the police. I called our local police department and they said they knew of nothing going on and had no other calls about it. I told the police that they were flying so low, I really believed that they were crashing. The white lights reminded me of a spotlight. It was really bright. I don’t recall seeing any other lights (red or green). The sound was definitely that of a helicopter (several). It was so loud that it reminded me of my days in the Navy when I was on the flight line launching helicopters. As I said, I don’t know how they were that close together. And when they passed through my front yard, it was like each passed in a single row and took about 2-3 seconds to fly 50 feet or so. I looked on facebook and online to see if anyone in local areas heard anything, but nothing. I do live in a remote area. My husband said it could have been military helicopters. What bothers me is how low they were to be military and secondly, how close they were together. Whether or not it was a real helicopter or a UFO, I cannot say, but it was something not normal. I think whatever it was, my loud barking dog scared them off. I havent had a chance to look around but when I get home from work tonight, I am going outside to see if I see anything abnormal or disturbed.

Weatherford, TX
On September 5 at around 7:30 am, I was watering my front yard and noticed a bright white strike to the south west, at a very steep angle of attack. I had thought that it was a meteor. I went to the top of my yard to keep it in sight and the strike shrank to what looks like a flame coming out of a white cylinder and that was as long as, my thumb nail is wide at arm’s length. As the Trail shrank the object leveled off and moving west. The tail disappeared and only the white cylinder was visible as it moved, so the house across the street obstructed my view. No photos were taken it happened too fast.

August 31, 2019, While driving west on US highway 180 at around 4pm on the west side of Weatherford TX, I noticed a large contrail do west in line with the highway. It looked to be on the horizon but was not getting any closer, It was going straight up, it was about two hands' tall at arm's distance. There had been some rain earlier that day and there was some cloud cover in several layer. The object passed through the first layer of clouds and kept going up. I had gotten to my turn on Garner Road off of US 180 (the Mineral Wells Highway). When I found a place to pull over and took a photo, the Contrail below that clouds was dissipating, but I could see the object and contrail in the clouds. I stop again at the Rick Williamson loop and took one more photo and the contrail was breaking up. Using contrast on the photo you could see the contrail in clouds vary high up in the second photo.
