Prosper, TX
2 friends and I were driving back from the infinity war premiere early in the morning on some back roads in prosper. While driving though an isolated area we encountered a very bright light above us (a generator would have been needed to power this thing) and it disappeared after we drove by. We were all terrified but we still circled back around and saw no signs of anyone being there. The driver called the non emergency number for the prosper police department and notified them that someone might be messing around with cars on the road and they said that they would look into it. A few days later I saw a report from the Princeton police department of a ufo sighting around the same time but 30 miles away on the same county road. In the report they claim that they discovered that it was an rc helicopter. In the comments several other people were saying that they saw sightings that night too, all flashes of light. I’ve included pictures from the Facebook post. I’ve no idea what it was we saw, I just decided to report it cause the rc helicopter seems like a cover up for something.

Went outside to drop the trash in the dumpster, when a strange, translucent triangle thing flew over my head. It was moving in a straight line from South to North and disappeared from view on the horizon. Completely silent, and it wasn't glowing brightly at all. More like a subtle glow emitted from a hundred little lights covering the surface. It looked as though you could see the night sky in between the small lights. Almost like a faint constellation floating across the sky. There were airplanes in the sky going from West to East towards the airport. The UFO looked like it was at a lower altitude than the planes. I would guess that it was maybe 20 feet across, but hard to tell since I don't know how far away it was. Even though it was moving in a steady straight line, it seemed almost organic (but I can't figure out why it 'felt' that way. The only rational explanation I can come up with is a B2 bomber flying with no lights and the engines silent. But why would it be flying over the city? And I would assume it would look more opaque if that were the case. I'm very skeptical when I read about other UFO sightings, so this experience really took me by surprise.

Looking out door, noticed a bright twinkling white light. Too large and close to be a star, then noticed flashes of red and green. Object was stationery.Used binouclars for better look. There was 1 large white light with several smaller white lights clustered around it with flashing red & green. Not a plane, after 20 min it slowly began to rise up. I saw it as rose from the bottom of electric wire line to star level. Stopped watching after an hr or so.

Hutto, TX
Noticed two orbs, at a very high altitude, rotating vertically around each other. Seem to be metallic. Unfortunately, the rotation stopped by the time I thought to start recording. Continued to hover in a vertical formation between the two objects. Unsure if connected or two separate objects. Hovered for a very long time. Eventually disappeared. Unsure what I saw, maybe weather balloon. Just thought the rotation of the two objects and then the objects staying in a vertical orientation for so long seemed odd.

I live in the country in a small town and 190 is completely dark specifically in the area I was driving in while this incident happened. I wanted to report this because I know what I seen this morning. I hope someone else seen it to so I don't feel like a nut. It almost seem like it want me to see it

I was outside in my porch when I heard an unsettling high pitched noise. I looked up in the sky to see 4 cone shaped things floating in the sky. They were gray, and they moved at a waking speed. They were blurry, as if they were not close. I stared at it for about an hour, but when I went back inside, the time had not changed. I have not seen the objects again. My cat however, was outside with me, and was acting VERY VERY strangely. Witness does not indicate a time of the alleged sighting, elects to provide no contact information. Possible hoax, we suspect.

Houston, TX
Was flying my drone and getting ready to land when I saw a large bright white disk above the cloud tops. I live near an airport so I am used to the usual characteristics of aircraft but this craft flew from one side of the sky to next in 5 seconds max and it was also silent. It had consistent white lighting across the body with no other distinguishable lights or features. It was comparable in size to the moon except it was flying fast and not stopping. I am currently a graduate student in mechanical engineering, and have specialized in the study of fluid mechanics. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aledo, TX
In the country, 4 miles NW of Aledo, Texas; 5 miles West of the Joint Reserve Base, Fort Worth, I was inside walking towards my back glass sliding doors when a group of four very bright lights over my pasture caught my attention. The lights were so low and bright, my first thought was that a plane was coming down right towards my house. I was about to yell for my wife to run out the front in case there was a crash, then I realized that the lights were not moving at all. I heard no noise and would have heard an air craft this close. The lights were so bright that I could not discern the shape of the object. There were 3 lights in a row with the middle slightly lower and one offset and up to the right, as if there was a missing light between them. The object was approximately 200 ft. in the air, 1,500 ft. away, about the size of a half-dollar at arm's length, so it had to be in excess of 40' or more wide. I watched the object for 30+ seconds and ran to get my cell phone camera in the next room. I was gone less than 15 seconds but when I got back, it was gone (and, very oddly, my cell phone went down, then came back on while I was wondering what happened to it). I immediately went outside and searched the sky in all directions, no plane, helicopters or anything else was airborne. It is impossible for any typical aircraft to not be still visible in that time. We are in the flight path of Joint Reserve Base air craft and Care Flight Helicopters from Weatherford to Fort Worth daily. This object did not resemble any of those. It is now 2am and I still haven't been able to sleep. This event was so unexpected all I could think to say was Jeez-Louise!

Spring, TX
The object seen was high in the air, vertical, stationary, in the shape of a cigar. It was bright white in color. My daughter and I both saw it and took pictures. It did not move for at least 15 minutes. After we drove past it and got home 5 minutes later, I was not able to see it, although it may still have been there. Object appears to us to be a "contrail," behind a high-altitude aircraft. PD

Georgetown, TX
I was enjoying the clear night sky, when I noticed 3 lights (light red in color) traveling in concert with one another in a straight line. It was night so I could not make out a shape, but it did appear that there was some sort of drag effect occurring behind each light, almost like blurring of the atmosphere. Given the relative distance from me, I would have heard an engine noise if it were a plane but it was completely silent, also the speed was much faster than any plane I’ve seen. About half way through the occurance the lights changed from a linear formation and configured into a triangle. The object(s) were heading from southeast to northwest. I am 30 years old, in good mental and physical health, have a doctorate and MBA and I am not known to fabricate or exaggerate stories. I was honestly very startled by this event and have no explanation for what I saw.

Cedar Park, TX
On Friday March 16, 2018, I was walking my dog along the greenbelt on the northern side of Veterans Memorial Park in Cedar Park, Texas. The loop around the park is about 1 1/3 miles total. An aviation buff and lifelong sky watcher, I noticed a white/silver metallic sphere moving at a high rate of speed tracking roughly south to north at an estimated 10-15,000 above ground level. There was no exhaust or visible means of propulsion in a standard sense. While holding my dog’s leash I grabbed my mobile phone out of my pocket to attempt to record some video before the sphere would be lost in my line of sight over the tree line. The video is terrible since I was juggling the dog leash and fighting with the sun glare on my phone. There are only a few frames of the object. I have seen the same type of sphere moving at a fast speed a few years before, ironically, while walking my dog at the park. It is only because of the following activities that I was prompted to get this event documented. After losing sight of the object, I continued around the trail, wondering whether what I witnessed was advanced human technology, or something otherworldly. Minutes later, at approximately 12:07 while walking southbound on the western side of the greenbelt, I heard a low hum and looked left and up. At an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet, I saw what I’m convinced was an Air Force C-17 Globemaster, a huge four engine cargo jet. In nearly four years of living in Central Texas, I’ve never seen one before. It was tracking the same south to north direction of the flying metallic sphere, but approximately two miles east. I could only wonder if the C-17 was tracking the sphere, or it had released the sphere itself in some military test, or if seeing the two in the space of 7 minutes was coincidental. Two days later, on Sunday March 18, 2018, I was, again, walking my dog around the park. While walking northbound on the east side of the park, I began to hear a low rumble and recognized the sound of military helicopters. Only occasionally do you see any military choppers over Cedar Park, even given that the US Army Base Fort Hood is only 45 air miles away north northeast. I stopped and looked around for the choppers. This was 11:22 a.m. Central. What I believe were two Apache attack choppers were about one-half mile south from location, and traveling west at approximately 3,000 feet above ground level. They were flying close together with the lead chopper staggered to the left of the other. What happened next made my jaw dropped the lead chopper abruptly jerked the chopper right (north) over roughly the same track the metallic sphere had been flying two days earlier. The lead chopper’s move must have come to a surprise to the back chopper, because there was nearly a mid-air collision. The two choppers continued that course until I lost sight of them because of the tree line. Just as I was getting to my car to load my dog and head home, I heard another low hum at 11:32 a.m. Flying the same course west as the other two choppers was a lone Apache. And it made the same move (but smoother) of heading north along the track of the other choppers and the metallic sphere two days earlier. I have no idea as to what these events mean. I can only chalk them up to high strangeness at this time.

Bright orange sphere traveled from east to west approximately 300 ft off the ground. Object floated silently overhead at a constant rate of speed, maybe accelerating slightly. Considered it may be a drone, but it was extremely silent. Consulted a friend that is a drone enthusiast and they stated that "orange" is not a common color for drone illumination. They contacted other drone enthusiasts to see if any of them knew of/had an orange illuminated drone. No one had orange lights or knew of anyone with orange lights on their drones. I had seen the exact same object a year ago hovering over 410 and NW Military Hwy about 150-200 ft off the ground. There were 2 of them at that time, and both orange, but exactly the same as this recent sighting.

Fort Worth, TX
Location: Fort Worth, TX, 76114 On Friday March 2, 2018 at 21:10, while standing in front of my house in Ft. Worth, Texas, I observed a bright blue sphere in the night sky. As I looked up at the brightly lit full moon, my eye was immediately drawn to the brilliant blue sphere. I immediately pulled out my phone and captured a picture, time stamps on phone show the first picture taken at 20:11. At one point I ran inside to retrieve my digital camera. I was inside for about 3 minutes. I rushed back outside to continue taking more pictures and video. I continued to observe the object for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, I observed the blue sphere moving around in the night sky (screen shot of pics on my phone shows various locations). My attention was still focused on the round blue object. I went inside and downloaded the images on to my computer to review. After spending time on my computer, I went out to the backyard to take one last look. To my surprise, the object was still visible in the night sky. I took another photo at 22:27 of the blue sphere. When I later viewed my pictures and video I saw other objects, what appears to be flying metallic objects. Even though I was standing in the middle of the street taking pictures, as far as I know none of my neighbors saw anything. We have looked at the still photos that have been forwarded to our Center by the witness. The small, blue-green object in those photos seems to us to be strongly reminiscent of lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. However, if the witness did, in fact, see the object with her normal vision, the objects are not lens flares, which are caused by reflections off the surfaces of the lens elements in the objective lens of a camera.

San Antonio, TX
On Wednesday, February 14, my husband and I returned to our San Antonio, Texas apartment complex at around 7:45 PM. As we got out of the car we heard a loud rumbling, with a kind of chugging undertone, and it sounded unfamiliar. When we got off the elevator and walked to our apartment we saw what appeared to be oval-shaped planes flying much too low… somewhat shocked, we walked inside our apartment, went to the large living room windows, and saw two spacecraft directly across the street, in the sky. They were a silver metallic color, larger than helicopters, and they “parked” directly above poles for electricity and cables. There were two spacecraft, and one of them faced the other, a bit lower, and at an angle. I had a better view of the one on the right, and there two lit windows on the side – gold light. Both of them were square, and one window was smaller than the other. No wings attached to the spacecraft. They were stationary over the power lines and the poles for approximately 20- 25 minutes. I would come back to check if they were still there from time to time. When I was away from the window we heard the loud rumbling noise again. I went to the window – they were gone. I did hear the same rumbling two more times during the next 48 hours, but no sighting. I should mention that previously on Monday, Feb. 12, I saw an owl in a tree through the same living room window. The tree it stood in is only about 15 feet from these poles and power lines for electrical cables, etc! And very unusual to see an owl here, and this close on a city street. The owl was asleep, woke up, and looked directly at me before it flew away.

Fort Worth, TX
I was driving along Granbury Road in a NE direction approaching Interstate 20. I witnessed a bright bluish white ball in the sky. My speed was about 40 mph. I looked out the driver window and about 30 degrees above my head this bright round object was moving quickly through the sky in a straight line parallel to the ground. It was moving at least twice as fast as I was. If it was a long distance from my car it could have been extremely fast. I think there were clouds in the sky, but I’m not sure. Before it disappeared it turned into 2 lines parallel to the ground, one thicker than the other, then quickly vanished.

At 16:05 local time, viewing moon through 130mm reflector telescope, 25mm wide angle eye piece being used. A white rectangle object crossed my field of view for roughly 4 seconds, travelling on east to west trajectory. Appeared, cut right across the moon, then disappeared from sight. Checked satellite database, nothing on that path in area, no aircraft in area, white rectangle object wasn't visible at all to naked eye. Have researched, but no satellites compare to what this object was.

Austin, TX
On January 20, 2018, I was driving westbound on Slaughter lane west of Interstate 35 on my way home from visiting a friend. I noticed something out of the corner of my left eye and looked at the time. It was approximately 9:20 p.m. It was dark out and I was having a hard time trying to understand what I saw. There was a triangular object in the sky moving north northeast. It had lights and that is what caught my attention. It moved at a decent pace and I lost sight of it when it went over a shopping center. I have a video of the object and have uploaded onto my YouTube account. I also reported it to Mufon. Their case manager told me there was another sighting the same evening with video northeast and a little later of my video. They said the second video was quite impressive and had more detail of the object. I've never seen the report or the other video.

Shamrock, TX
On 1-20-18, at 8:20 am, on I-40 east of Shamrock, Tx, I seen a glowing sphere in the sky. The sky was visible and clear with 5 other air craft flying leaving contrails/chemTrails. You could make out each air craft and the glowing sphere was closer to where you could see that it was not a air craft, it caught my eye while I was driving by glowing bright like a LED light. It started going bright and dim for about 2 mins and then faded out and blended in with sky. It reappeared 1min later, and I stopped to try to get video with my phone, but the phone could not detect the glowing sphere only the aircraft in the back round. It continued to glow for 4-5 min then disappear.
