San Antonio, TX
We had been watching the 4th of July fireworks going off in our neighborhood from our driveway. They had started to slow down around 10:45pm so we were going to head inside. Just at that moment we all noticed an extremely bright ball of light moving quickly from left to right rather low in the sky but higher than a firework. While watching it go by we all were questioning each other on what we were seeing. As we were watching, it suddenly turned from a ball of white to red, flashed a few times then disappeared. This object did not admit any sound and was definitely not a firework.

Burleson, TX
I was driving west and as I looked to the moon I saw three spheres in a row to the left going south and after about 30 seconds of travel they disappeared. I waited to see if they may reappear but nothing followed. The next day my sister saw what we believe to be the same crafts when she was riding her bike that evening.

I was standing outside enjoying the weather and smoking my cigarette right after/middle if a rain spout storm. Clouds in the sky and I looked up enjoying the breeze and silence due to us moving away from an airport and saw it. It was there in the sky about 3× the size of a star you'd see looking up at night. The sphere zoomed left then right and left again. I've never seen such a thing before in my life. I looked down due to a temporary distraction and looked back up and saw it zoom off after than anything ive ever seen in my life. I'm not one to believe in these things but this spooked me. There's no manned aircraft in the world that can do what this one did...

I was driving home and it was 8:10pm, clear skies, and this "star" caught my eye and I guess it was turning and the sun hit it just right and it looked like a star, as I was looking at it, I lost it and I said wait a minute that's not a star. As I was turning onto my street I saw it and it was a metallic color and it was just hovering there, in the southern sky, which San Antonio, Tx, is south of where I was at, so I stopped my car and when I got out with my phone to get a video it started moving east and then started moving south and then as it took off to the South a plane flew over and that was at 8:40pm Central Time.. and I have video

Abilene, TX
I looked up while walking to see 4 lights in a square shape and as it moved west of me it changed to just one bright light traveling faster and then slower and then it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This object was shaped like a long cylinder can. It was white and stayed in place for the 2 minutes that I observed it. I took a few pics and zoomed in to get a better look but it moved away horizontally growing East.

Larue, TX
Approximately 8:20 pm on June 13, 2019, my husband and I were outside on our property near New York, Texas. We saw a bright orange light equivalent to a bright security light in the south eastern sky. It was moving slowly to the southwest. We watched it for about 2 minutes going to the southwest. It looked like it was moving away from us for about 15 seconds and suddenly it was totally out of sight.

Leander, TX
I was stargazing one night from my backyard patio. Dim orange/red intermittent illumination round object traveling across the sky from West to East. No navigation lights as planes I did notice transiting that night so I ruled out the possibility of the sighting being an airplane. It was noticed first as what I thought was a shooting star in my peripheral vision but it never burned out but got dim and traveled in a zig zag pattern across the sky. I tried to track it with my eyes until it suddenly disappeared.

Sanger, TX
It was pitch black when a light appeared in the sky, the object started dropping rapidly at first I thought it was a falling star/shooting star but then it came to a sudden a stop about 7,000 ft the object then moved to the left and two more lights appeared on each side of the first light. Within seconds, the lights starting to fade away or get dim, but after that, I didn’t spot no activity.

Moving in a southeastern direction against the gulf wind like it had its own coarse. It flew into a gray cloud and disappeared.

Rowve, TX
On the night of May 26 in the year 2019 at about 10:00pm Mountain Standard Time a small light was seen zig zagging and pulsating across the sky. It traveled from southeast to northwest through a clear night. It was high in altitude. The night was clear and cool. After initially observing the zig zagging light the sighting was then confirmed by three other witnesses ranging from the age of 10 to 65. The light then disappeared after 3 minutes. Only to reappear about a minute later with four additional lights traveling from south to north across the sky. These lights were traveling in a line and close together. As the five lights traveled traveled in linear synchronization. Every move was made in unison. The lights were traveling at high velocity and high altitude. These five lights were also confirmed by a fifth witness. Several airplanes were observed throughout the night and the zig zagging lights were not remotely related to the airplanes. As the five lights swept across the night the last light then made a 180 and darted in the opposite direction. This took about 5-7 minutes.

Straight line literally, of multiple craft at high speed headed north east. Some with bright lights some with almost no lights. 2 other craft on outside of line keeping far distances.

A nuclear explosion , high in the atmosphere...... Mushroom cloud went wsy up high... It must of been higher than i originally thought because it was very dim.... Still noticeable i could make out a mushroom cloud. It had to be in the stratosphere if not higher…

Pearsall, TX
Saw 2 unknown flying objects. Two sets of alternating blinking lights, far away and traveling at extremely high speeds. I was able to observe the light for a long period of time, even at extreme distances. No sound at all. The lights seemed very far apart, especially for objects moving so fast. Could have possibly been 4 separate objects. But they stayed at a consistent distance

Plano, TX
At approximately 9:40PM on 05/21/2019, I observed a very unusual light, while looking north from my Apartment Complex in East Plano, TX. To provide background, to the north of my apartment is a major thoroughfare of Aircraft flying West toward DFW Airport and Love Field in Dallas, TX. I often smoke outside in the evenings and have seen all types of crafts, usually easily determining that they are Commercial Aircraft. On THIS occasion, the light was different. First, the light was White and moved about half-way across the entire horizon from East to West. It moved at a MUCH higher rate of speed than any plane. There were planes in the distance to compare to. Suddenly, it Stopped. No slowing, as if a plane was turning… it just Stopped. It proceeded to move directly Upward at a high rate of speed, and then back Downward at a slower rate. This is definitely not any maneuver that can be performed by modern aircraft. It was also quite a distance away. My guess would be 10+ Miles North of me, possibly near McKinney, TX, but it is hard to determine . The light was Solid White to begin with, then began to flash, and then turned a solid Red. The flashing was Extremely Bright for something that far away. I ran inside to get my Cell Phone to record the light. When I came back out, the light was still there, and came above the horizon (so, it couldn’t be a drone… too far away.) It continued to flash and then moved directly Upward. It then moved to the East toward an Airplane that was flying East to West. It seemed to mirror the speed of the plane, but was lower on the horizon. Again it stopped. The color changed to a Red from White, and it dimmed by a large amount. The Light then became bright again and moved back to the West. I continued to watch the light until it went below the Horizon. I see planes flying in this sky on a DAILY basis… and always keep an eye out for anything weird… this is the FIRST TIME I have ever seen anything like this. I don’t know WHAT is was, but the movements were not something I had ever witnessed, nor do I believe that the maneuvers could have been completed by any craft with our technology. I DID video what I could, but my footage is grainy, and I’m not a good Camera-Man. I do narrate what I am seeing. In any case, here is a link to the Video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/huc2bl3elvlg3j5/0521192142.mp4?dl=0

Fort Worth, TX
Stepped out of my garage and over the neighbors trees I saw a rectangular object moving across the sky. It caught my eye because it looked almost like a lower case I moving over the trees. Appeared to be heading in a south/southwesterly direction and seemed to be 1/4 to 1/2 mile away. Had my 14 year old daughter come out because it looked so weird and neither of us could figure out what it was. Watched it continue on until it was hidden behind trees. Neither of us had our phones to take a picture. It was still pretty light outside. Didn't see any lights on the object.

Hi – Ok – I personally know the person who posted the 2/21/18 report from San Antonio. I admit that when the original poster shared her sightings with me, my analytical mind started looking for ways to “explain” away her reports. However, I do trust the original poster. Several months after the 2/21/18 poster shared her sightings with me, I woke up at about 2 a.m. I live directly below the original poster. While laying on the couch, I could see out my blinds across the abandoned yet improved adjacent property. I could see through the blinds three very bright lights . . . in close formation. The lights appeared to change in colors and I do recall a red light and a very bright cold blue light. I know I saw what I saw – I even got up off my couch and walked out onto my balcony. The lights/device/thing was probably 100 yards away – to the North – and appeared to be about treetop height – approximately 60 feet in the air. I kept staring at whatever it was. With a few exceptions, it remained stationary. My initial thought was “drone.” My second thought was “drone flown by some pervert trying to look into our apartment windows.” But it was all too weird. Look – I have a graduate degree. I’m 48 years old. I love science. I consider myself pretty sharp and definitely not hysterical. I dig on the scientific method and I get that the simplest explanation is often the correct one. But . . . based on operational logistics and the location of the observation, something was strange and inexplicable. I saw what I saw – it got my chalupa eating hiney off the couch and onto the patio for a better view. It was too large to be a drone. Plus – why at 2 a.m. . . . over a very abandoned but secure retirement community??? If someone were flying a drone, they would “fly it” . . . as in it should move . . . instead it hovered for like 15 minutes til it simply disappeared with no change in elevation. Very strange. I would be interested to know whether my location was the same as an earlier poster above from April 2019 who reported seeing an object while with her fiancée. I wonder if that occurred in the same area/location. I saw what I saw. I was intrigued enough to go outside for a better look. My upstairs neighbor has seen similar objects. Weird.

Bright lights in northwest sky. There were 6 of them and they reflected sunlight for a few seconds then would disappear then return. They seem to be moving very slowly northwest to southwest. Three of us observed this from near Braker Lane and Burnet Road. Source of report does not indicate a date for the sighting event, and provides no contact information.. We have assigned an arbitrary date and time. PD

El Paso, TX
My friends and I were returning home, traveling north on Rte 54 (Patriot Freeway). At about 3:01 pm I noticed a fighter jet taking off from Biggs Airfield at Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX. As I watched it ascend, it began to turn East away from me as it climbed rapidly. I thought its flight path unusual, and continued to watch it ascend towards a bank of clouds above it. The jet turned so sharply that its wings were vertical to the ground as it made a U-turn back towards the South. Then I noticed an object hovering just below the clouds over Biggs Army Airfield. I recognized it as a UAP or UFO, and grabbed my cell phone camera. It took me a few seconds to get the camera operating. By that time the jet was rapidly closing the gap with the UAP. In response, the UAP began to back up and move away from the approaching jet. I was stunned! I aimed my camera and pushed the shutter button, but my cell phone camera did not respond fast enough. Suddenly both the UAP and jet both disappeared. The photograph time is 3:03 pm, taken just after the jet and UAP disappeared. I asked my friend, who was driving, and he said he didn't see it. He is an audio witness to my sighting. I have no idea what happened to that jet. The picture shows the scene with the distant Hueco Tanks Mountains and sacred Cero Alto Mountain (tallest) in the background to the East. The picture recorded the date and time of the photograph, and even GPS location of our car at 3,000 Gateway North Boulevard (access road to the Patriot Freeway). Visibility was excellent at 10 miles. I overlaid the photo with an image of what type of UAP/UFO I saw and the type of jet, as best as I could make out from four miles away (map distance). I added dots to mark the path of the jet as it made a high-angle U-turn towards the UAP/UFO. I posted this picture and account on my Facebook profile, and had a number of responses. Ted Roe of NARCAP made an interesting comment: T. R. (NARCAP) My guess.... plane was too close when the ufo bolted, inside the envelope when it jumped. Probably carried the plane with it to where ever it was when it stopped... F18.... I watched one pursuing an object that appeared to be 2 silver spheres connected with a thin bar.... it left instantaneously but the plane wasn't that close.
