At about 5:30am I noticed flashing hovering lights. After a few minutes I went and got my binoculars. Watched a cone shaped object,2 white lights in middle and red white blue and possibly green lights around it making a cone shape. I watched for 45 mins to and hour on my hammock. I called my husband to tell me what it could be. . .he started looking for our telescope lol. I watched it till during sunrise. It was hovering over the water I believe observing tx city power plants. I saw this same object in the same place when I lived in San Leon on the canal about 15 years ago. Anyways, the haze set in and I could not see it anymore. So I wait. During this time I look toward the sunrise and I see two steaks of smoke like behind an airplane. I look through my binoculars and it's two big bright disk shape lights (same color as the sunrise being the were flying towards it) weird thing was the trail of smoke stayed the same size and followed the lights until they disappeared in the sunrise. Not like trails that get longer and stay in the sky till they spread out and fade away. These stayed with the objects . Not sure if they were the same two white lights in the cone or completely different. I plan to have a look after sky clears.... also before daybreak I watched a plane fly towards the cone and swiftly fly under and around it. They saw it I'm sure of that. Plane flying at about 6amish....towards Galveston . Wish I had more video of the two disks and smoke trails but I was Awe and they disappeared fast. Anyone else see this???

Sum appear amber . You diffently tell them from the stars .. they are low in the sky . Very strange things to see . Very curious wat they are . It's also as though sum stay on same grid but all move up down in an out . It feels like they are observing but I could be wrong but they are there . Check it out yourself . Sum fly around no flashing lights but do have sound .. Sum have flashing lights . They are not planes ..I watch them nightly . Please give me an opinion of wat it could possibly be .. kinda scarey .

Looks like antenna system being towed across sky at different altitudes. Others are ball shaped vehicles with circular vapor trail through atmosphere.

We walked outside to the back to let the dogs potty. We noticed the lights immediately as we looked to the west - northwest as they were bright lights slightly drifting upwards in a vertical straight line. They were at about 5000ft to 15000ft. Maybe even less. There were 2 separate airplane lights that were at higher altitudes on both sides to reference this. It looked like they were trying to achieve greater separation from each other and as they got into position, they all disappeared. The top one disappeared first and then the next one lower from the top. It was in sequence highest to lowest as they all disappeared one after the other in about a half second to one whole second. Just found this site and would appreciate feedback as to others in the area seeing this as well. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

I thought I saw headlights reflected in my window, but they kept getting closer and closer. Then, I saw the lights shine on my window with blinds, and the light was so bright white it was almost blinding. All of the sudden, this yellow drone looking object with a 3D base of a cylinder with a dome on top comes racing towards me. I could see the shadows reflected on my wall, and I closed my eyes because the light was too bright, and when I opened them it was gone. Maybe it disappeared or flew up? I did hear a faint humming noise. Not sure if the lights on the ring were connected to the base. It seemed to me like it could be something domestic, but it was too big and technologically advanced to be someone’s personal drone. There are not images of anything like it online. It was also the fastest drone I’ve ever seen.

high altitude, saw 10-12 small lights moving in a single file formation…each light was equally spaced….saw this from N-NW traveling up and north….then one at a time they disappeared into the dark….unsure if the military flies this many craft in single file formation? They were far away and looked like little stars….I was alone on a big piece of property..wondering if anyone else saw this? [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

NW Austin, TX
I boarded American Airlines flight# 4244 from Austin to Albuquerque. Flight left late. We took off around 5:16pm. I was seated on the outside seat looking out the next seat window in front of me admiring and studying the interplay of light and dark on the cloud formations below us. I am a amateur painter and was studying the clouds and how to paint them. When suddenly within my field of view, I was seated on the starboard side of the my plane, Seat 21D. I saw this large white cylindrical object at our same level. It was flying in the opposite direction traveling extremely fast. I saw NO markings, windows, cockpit windows. I saw no tail fin, wings nor engines. No propulsion trail nor engine on rear like a rocket. Yet it was shaped like a rocket but flying perfectly horizontal and in the same plane as my flight. Hard to guess how far away it was. But it was close. Perhaps a ½ mile or less. (?) As it past from one window then to my seat window, I immediately popped the slide shade up to see the object speedily passing before my eyes. The sighting was no more than 3-5 sec. But, I saw the object. It was as if a plane was flying with out its wings and tail fin and no markings or windows were seen. The shape was cylindrical. Is the best I can describe. I’ve uploaded a pic of the clouds. The Object was going too fast for me to react by taking a photo. It looked at my watch it was 6:41pm when I saw the object. I turned around to see if other passengers were looking out their respective windows and sadly no one in my vicinity witnessed what I saw. When we landed in Albuquerque. I asked the pilot if he witnessed seeing a cylindrical object flying in the opposite direction on our starboard side. He said No, he saw nothing.

1963. (Can I report?) I'm only 10 y.o., daytime, probably summer. Austin, Texas. Playing chasing running tumbling outside with cousins & neighborhood kids, caught sight of an object coming toward me, stopped, watched it sail toward me slowly & just over my head, noiselessly (maybe just the slightest of a hum), & flew on down the neighborhood street until I could no longer see it, straight line. It was small, dark grey, oval, metallic, thicker more squarish sides, with a dome on top. No lights, no windows, no noise, no wind or electrical effects felt underneath as it passed just above my head, I just stood gaping, following it with my eyes, just a foot or so, above my head! The underside was very maze-like. It sailed on down the neighborhood street until I could no longer see it, although I strained to follow it with my eyes. No thought of yelling to other kids, Hey! Look! Or of running after it, to follow it, just kind of stunned, I guess. Took about 45, 60 seconds the whole incident. None of the other kids seemed to notice it! Thank you for your work. And for considering my old sighting. I've never forgotten it. Life went on, maybe other "things" paranormal. Finally started researching heavily upon hearing Karla Turner on the radio, 1990s. It all came flooding back! Someone actually talking publicly about UFOs! Eventually, I wrote Jacques Vallee a long letter including other paranormal experiences; he sent me an autographed card. Then, I began helping Cheyenne Turner of the Eclectic Viewpoint (friend of Lucius Ferris, RIP), typesetting her mail-out announcements for speakers in Plano north of Dallas, big lectures; I met Timothy Good & others (RIP Cheyenne, 1997/8), & we attended Ozarks conf 2x. Got busy teaching, but I'm now retired some years, and I am once again curious & researching a project, having to do with Betty& Barney Hill's case, I have a theory & this case, my best evidence. So, I'm rereading old & new books. (Desousa's recent book has wrong date for their event! P. 47! Inexcusable, my degree is in history & English & studies in history of science, lol). But I know . . . I feel . . .that my experience was for something I am to do. A theory I have... has led me to believe Betty Hill's "map" was not a zeta reticulum star system. It is something totally different, totally different. And if I'm right . . . . Even your sightings, Mr. Davenport, the dates are very interesting. Details like dates, times, colors, are important in my analyses of these things. The work you do, important. Wish me luck getting my idea written & published. Data & your work, is important for researchers, so thank you! And I swear to God, my sighting in 1963, the account I've given you, is true and as clear in my memory as the day it happened. Sincerely, (name deleted) (no relation to James E. McDonald, a great & courageous man, RIP).

Breckenridge, TX
Looked to be in parallel lines/groupings. After passing of green lights, there was significant aircraft activity to include stationary hovering of aircraft in areas along the horizon in all directions surrounding the given coordinates. The colors of the flashing lights from aircraft were a combination of red, white, amber, and green. Estimated to see 12-15 moving and stationary aircraft with different light features. After the passing of the strange green lights, all observable aircraft returned to the westbound airspace. They slowly dissipated over the span of 9:45 pm and 12:00am. Aircraft activity seen thereafter was of normal and expected capacity.

Pilot Point, TX
I parked in the convenience store parking lot and looked out my passenger window, toward the northern sky, noticing quite a few aircraft contrails, blinked, and there was suddenly a perfectly circular black object, in my line of sight. I did not see it approach—one moment it wasn’t there, and the next it was—in the span of one blink. I could tell it was quite a distance away and at enough of an altitude that because it was at the top of the visible sky, through the passenger window, with me sitting in the driver seat, the size proximity was roughly that of a half dollar, indicative of a fairly sizable object, at a great distance. What struck me so eerily was that the object completely lacked 3 dimensional shape. It was the darkest black I have ever seen, almost appearing as though a hole had been cut in the sky. There were no discernible features of any kind and, as mentioned, and was so dark in contrast to the sky that it made my eyes physically feel strange, and immediately gave a sensation that “this does not belong here”. It stayed stationary for approximately five seconds and then shot directly upward and out of field of vision, at a rate of speed that it almost appeared to vanish as quickly as it appeared.

Supplementing my first report to include a depiction of the object(s) i saw (see attached). Sat Aug 5, 2023 (night time/not certain what time it was though). Standing out on my back patio balcony (2nd floor apartment) I saw a string of lights which were standing vertical but at a slight tilted angle and moving from the sky toward the earth at a rapid speed. I couldn't tell if it was one object or many but i saw approx 5 - 6 lights. All appeared to be round in shape but the first light closest to the earths surface was a brilliant orangish or amber color and all subsequent orbs of light were whitish but they varied in intensity or hue from the one before it as did their size. It went from large (Amber color/closest to the earths surface) to the small closest to the sky. The object, whatever it was, fell from the sky like a firework but much faster and with zero noise or light trail/tracer. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I dont recall what time of day this occurred only that it was night time as the sun had already set. At the time, i had just stepped out on our back patio/balcony (2nd floor apartment) for a cigarette. I was gazing up at the stars to my right which would have been 30° or NE when something caught my attention out of my left periphery. As I turned my head to look the first thing i noticed was a flashing beacon of light which I could clearly see was an airplane in the far distance. But the second was a series of lights which looked highly unusual. It appeared to be a series of lights in a vertical string but each varied in size and color yet I got the feeling they were part of (1) object and not 5 or 6 separate objects. I work for American Airlines so i'm very familiar with all kinds of aircraft but commercial aircraft especially and this or they were no commercial aircraft. I can't be certain what i saw but I'm certain it was no airplane! My initial thought was that someone had been popping fireworks primarily because of the way the object(s) appeared to be falling from the sky. It seemed to me and according to my compass the objects appeared to be falling in a SE manner towards earths surface. Yet, it/they left no streak in the sky, no exhaust plume, and no tell-tell firework smoke that's left behind once they're deployed. And there was no sound either. It was eerily silent outside too and the object(s) made zero noise. There were approx. 5 to 6 lights which appeared to be in a vertical line yet each varying in size and color. All appeared to be round objects like a ball but i can't be sure as it happened so quickly. I can't be certain but i got the feeling that the lights were part of a single object and not multiple or separate objects. The first light in the series (closest to the ground) was a brilliant orangish color and all the subsequent lights were whitish in color but each varied in its intensity or hue from the one before it (all different shades of white). According to my compass i was facing West when i saw the object(s). According to my Iphone compass the objects were here: 32°43'59" N 97°3' 35" W (600ft elevation). Though it seemed to be moving SE from the sky toward the earth until it disappeared behind the tree line. Here are the coordinates of the direction it was headed: 32°34'59" N 97°3'35" W (600ft elevation). I'd like to suggest enhancement to your platform. It would be great if you could implement a way for us to draw or illustrate what we've seen. Maybe add a section so we can use our trackpads or mice to draw what we've seen. As some of us have a better time of conveying a message through illustrations rather than our words. Thanks There was no light trail like lights do when they wiz by either. NO tracers or light trails yet it was moving fast just like a firework does when it falls from the sky but again, this was no firework! [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

On 08-05-23 around 5:11 am I got out of bed to start my morning, by 5:35 am - 5:40 am I stepped out into my enclosed patio area where the sky is visible to the naked eyesight, so I could smoke an cigarette !! Upon lighting my cigarette to take my first couple of pulls, when I gazed up into the sky and couldn’t help but notice a circular light reflecting object high up amongst the stars almost identical to thee stars excepts this thing (circular star object) was moving across the sky at an approximately 1,000mph or faster without leaving nothing behind! It wasn’t moving side to side, it wasn’t changing corses, just straight across. Airplanes could been seen flying at a certain altitude, but what I seen was way much higher up than the aircraft ! Lately a lot of strange phenomena being reported, and I didn’t care for it until I witness something like this for myself

There was only one however it was moving erratically at times like it could travel immediately to another location when desired. It also may be trying to look like a star however it changed from pinpoint to a tic tac shaped spinning object with a ring around it and then will also become an orb of cloudy looking ring of energy that also is able to manouver rapidly. Also there is no sound however when aircraft come through there is normally noise associated with it but not in this case. In addition I have over 3 hours of footage but two videos that captured this behavior as well as a couple hundred stills. Please let me have a chance to discuss and send you this footage for further review as I felt I received a download of information from the experience which is hard to explain in writing but mostly I felt that the technology was able to program or format energy into whatever shape or non-shape it wanted it to be. This would explain how the ring blobby thing that just look like balls of amorphous energy could slip through wormholes and time-space etc. I have more but I’ll leave it at that for now.

Stamford Texas, TX
Yes I was standing on my front porch in Stamford Texas. I noticed a large dark object moving slowly descending no more than 50 - 75 feet above the ground. I also noticed a dark orange light of some sort around the upper rim of the object. The way the object came down so low and so controlled i decided to wait and see if it would take off or go back up high enough to see it. Sure enough no more than 5 or 6 minutes later it lifted back up right above where I seen it come down at and as it started to slowly move to the north east the entire object rotated towards the direction it was moving. Towards the same direction it was coming from when I noticed it but I never actually seen it fly away. Once it finished rotating around I lost all sight of the object as if it just disappeared. The only way I noticed it was because of how large and dark it was other than the small glimmer of a dark orange colored light that was gleaming from the object but it wasn't a constant light it was like it only shined when light hit the object just right. I was sure to even report it but something changed my mind this happened early August

In my backyard right after dark as usual tending to chickens. The stars just started to become visible. There was a really bright star that I assumed was a planet. Wasn’t moving. A few minutes later I noticed out of the corner of my eye a star-like object doing perfect circles around the bigger, brighter planet/star-like object, then quickly accelerating and fading out. Eventually, the brighter and larger stationary object disappeared. This occurred about 120 degrees southeast of my backyard. See additional report for info on daytime sighting the next day.
