Irving, TX
It was a typical Friday morning. I was up by 5 am and in my car by 6 for my 35 min commute to Dallas. The drive was uneventful, til about 15 minutes on highway 183 until the traffic came to a grinding halt, that lasted about 20 minutes. As I sat on the highway, I figured there must be an accident ahead, and then I saw this magnificent light in the sky. I knew it was not a star, a planet nor tthe moon and I immediately ruled them out. Tired of sitting on the highway, I got off on the next ramp only to find myself stuck waiting to catch a traffic light. I was compelled to look at the light because there was something "off about it". It wasn't a helicopter. It was so quiet outside it really surprised me. Took a couple of pics then decided to turn on my video. I witnessed this light shining brighter still, glowing and it appeared to be two circles of light. It became very bright then dimmed and began hovering away at a very fast rate of speed. I am convinced it was a UfO. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My boyfriend yelled for me to hurry outside. All he said is what is that. I took too long to focus on it and all I could see was that it was something with no lights. He said it was a plane but the lights were so dim. Like not lights to see ahead of you, more like interior lights. whhaaatever. ok... The next night he yells again. Not to be tricked again i stayed on the couch. He comes running in saying he saw" something HUGE in the sky. all black, no lights, so sound with a line coming out of the back of it connected to a smaller version of it. like towing it along" trippin! but he's so enthusiastic I keep looking around. "Look!" he says again and points. then i see one. just a small boomerang shape gliding across the sky. after a couple minutes there's another one. and another. For about two or three hours we watched these things sail silently above us. so many we actually got bored looking at them. The next night. He's down on the street and I'm up on the balcony telling him something. I glance down the road and see "the HUGE one". It was shaped like a bomber but rounded. absolutely silent. so low! like i could throw a rock and hit it. just sailing peacefully straight down the road. we were both staring. awestruck. I remember saying it reminded me of a mantaray. I don't know why. When we talked later he said the back of it looked like it was waving like a flag but I didn't notice that. I can't stress enough how big it was. and then, more little ones. Finally we decide on a plan of action. Shine a spotlight flashlight at one. And we do just that. And it comes to a slow stop, changes direction, and glides away. Never saw another one. Worst plan ever. I still look up hoping, wishing the batteries had been dead in that flashlight. These things were solid black with a solid outline, not birds or anything like that. They were there. My boyfriend and I both agree they appeared two dimensional. like a shadow. or more like a cutout. I can't explain it better than that

I was looking up at the clear blue sky with a neighbor when we saw a silver object shooting across the sky at a very high altitude. She called it a high flying jet, but I noted that it was was not leaving a con trail. It first appeared to have two sections or wings and was traveling length wise like a tube. But as it passed overhead in a straight line it appeared to bank and looked somewhat saucer shaped at two different times and flames shot out one time for a short distance sideways to its direction of travel across the sky.

Could not determine altitude. Shape of contact was a flying wing. It had 5 to 7 small lights on forward edge of the wing. Color black. Contact was flying Northeast and turned hard and turned like a kite. Contact couldn't be heard over ambient sound. Contact appeared and turned before tracking into the night sky.

Sherman, TX
This evening, at 7:15 P.M., heading south bound on Hwy. 75, nearing exit 56, I saw what appeared to be a strange, low lying cloud. It was above the tree lines and roughly 1/2 the size of an 18 wheeler. The formation was moving east at a strange pace. I then noticed it start moving south at a faster pace and then move upward. I slowed down to watch it. It was at this time I saw the object lift upward again and then it vanished. I have a degree in science and I am a retired Earth science teacher. I've never observed a cloud shaped like this one or move in this manner. It was disk shaped, domed roof, charcoal grey and was the consistency of a cloud. Airplanes flying into DFW were in the background in the same southeast direction. I was using the movement and speed of the planes in the distance to compare the cloud/UFO.

Rowlett, TX
I saw an egg shaped object last night between 1:02 am and 1:15 am over north Rowlett, Texas. It sat there for a long time, enough time for me to get my hubby up who used to be a pilot, but he wasn't very interested. My husband thought it was a star or planet and went back to bed. I grabbed my glasses. I went back out to watch it for about 10 more minutes. It seemed to be rotating and wobbling slightly and released what looked like steam a couple of times during that observation. I left, and then came back out 3 minutes later and it was gone. I don't know what this was, it was not any type of commercial aircraft. And during that time there was no commercial flights observed. I may have been 3 to 4 miles away, but that is only a guess. I couldn't get my cell phone to capture it due to the darkness. This was interesting for sure. Thank you.

I stepped outside to look at the clear moonless sky. My location is 10 miles west of Intercontinental Airport Houston IAH. I have never before seen anything in the sky that looked strange, but I saw a V or triangle shaped greyish object with no sound or lights against a dark sky gliding pretty fast north to south, then turning southeast when directly over me. It flew perfectly smoothly and was headed in the general direction of downtown Houston or Ellington Air Force Base about 25 miles away. Its form was static like a plane and seemed to be gliding at a few hundred feet, or perhaps flying too high to hear. At age 70 this was a first for me - I don't believe in extra-terrestial UFOs, but this was truly amazing to see.

Huntsville, TX
Driving to work, I noticed what I thought to be a pretty, bright star. As I was looking at it seemed to grow in size. So I watched it more closely, it was definitely beginning to move. It first seemed to move towards me (west), growing brighter, but I turned north, and it continued moving in a west direction. It got so low I could not see it through the trees any longer. After about a minute it began to ascend and grew dimmer again until I lost visablity.

As a scale, I’m going to say there were about a 1/4” between each separate light. I got up and went inside to get my 24 year old son. I asked him to look up and tell me what he saw. He said a triangle. While observing it, it appeared to split and became two separate triangles. The first one stayed where it was while the second traveled to the south west. We lost sight of the second one as clouds got in the way. But the first one remained there for another 20 minutes. It was there when I went back inside. When I went back outside about 30 minutes later and it was gone. I plan on checking again tonight. I heard there were also sightings in Dallas, Texas, Lawton, Ok., and Mississippi, yesterday and last night. Just FYI.

I first noticed a single red light in the northwestern sky, about midway between the zenith of the sky and the horizon. The light was steady and barely moving and was immediately unusual. The light then began to move to the west quite quickly and steadily. It continued like this, but in an unusual flight pattern, not like the normal ballistic trajectory of commercial aircraft. My immediate thought was that it was a helicopter. It would move west, then appear to pause (perhaps moving away or towards me) and then continue moving again. It was hard to gauge its distance, but I’d say it was 10-15 miles away. If that is true, then it was moving far faster than any helicopter I’ve seen fly at that distance. As it approached the western horizon, the red light changed to a white blinking light. This light was blinking regularly, so once again I thought it must be a helicopter. But at the speed it was going I began to think it was a fighter jet. It was just about at the horizon when it nearly disappeared and immediately another separate red light appeared just to the right of it. This red light was steady and even brighter than the first. The second red light began to move to the north as the first was nearly gone. The second red light was moving toward the north and just suddenly, what I presume to be the first light, reappeared now as a red light with a white blinking light. The two began to make their way northeast irregularly; sometimes moving steadily, sometimes pausing or moving away from me. The first red light seemed to now be following the second, and when they were moving laterally, they were moving quite fast. The only thing I know of that could move that fast at that distance is a jet fighter. But the maneuvers between steady lateral movements were far too acrobatic for a jet fighter. In less than thirty seconds, the two lights—both with a steady red light at what I perceived to be the front, and a white blinking light at the rear—cruised to the northeast and then quickly approached the northern horizon. Through trees I saw them pausing at the horizon as red lights and then disappearing below the horizon, not to reemerge again.

I was traveling to work along Beltway 8 East in Houston, TX, this morning, Friday, 9/8/17, at 8:45am, and noticed an extremely bright light high in the clear blue sky. The illuminating light was spherical and grew in size, somewhat changing shape, then decreased in size, then completely disappeared in an instance. It did this three times within a period of 3 minutes or less. It definitely was not an airplane; there was never any definite shape that formed, no white trail of smoke, no clouds around it, no sound (though it was very high in the sky). I called my husband immediately to share what I had seen, as I was perplexed as to what it could be and very excited, it sounded like other UFO sightings I’ve heard described. I’m trying to find out if there are other local reports of people witnessing the same thing.

Richmond, TX
My wife and I had our neighbors over for dinner. It was about 9:30 or 10:00. When my neighbor saw this thing just appear. It was a black triangle the moon was coming up so you could see the outline on the sky. It had a grid of lights across the bottom, larger ones on the edges. They were flashing and changing all colors. It moved north to south over the top of the houses in my back yard. Much bigger than an airplane. It moved steadily and silently across the sky at a good rate of speed. We watched it just slowly fad out and disappear at a steady speed. Their was three of us that witnessed it and it lasted about 15 seconds.

I was sitting in my backyard at night and saw what I know wasn't an airplane, due to how slow it was moving, I could only see lights. The appearance of the type of light type was that of a filament bulb. They would slowly appear instead of behaving as LED lights do. They would fade, sometimes almost fade away but then slowly brighten up again, going from yellow to more of a red color, no sound. I just assumed it was a weather balloon but I didn't see much information about those having lights on them unless they were in a busy air traffic area. About 10 minutes after that, moving east to west was what I can only describe as having a lightning bug-like behavior. I'm an amateur entomologist and know they don't fly that high, it was way above the trees (so it appeared to be), I was looking north. The light lasted about 3 to 5 times longer than the typical length of time a firefly brightens up. It wasn't a comet, much too slow going east to west then rose slightly and wasn't visible anymore. Then it happened again going north to south about 10 minutes later. The way it behaved, the speed, I just can't describe it. It could have been around 200ft above the ground, small, moving like a fast flying moth. Very similar to what it might look like if somebody put a blue LED light on a drone and flew it over your backyard at night, but completely silent.

Georgetown, TX
On 2 separate occasions now I have observed an unidentified flashing object in the night sky. The first incident happened approximately 2 weeks before the date of this report, and this recent incident is what prompted me to file this report. The description of the object is as follows: A single white flashing light that is similar to a standard aircraft landing light in size, shape, color, and intensity. I often see standard aircraft in the area turn on their landing lights as they enter the airspace of the Austin and Georgetown area. Their color, as was the color of this object, is different than the light of the stars, and they appear much larger than any of the larger stars, like Vega, or planets you can see, like Jupiter. The activity of the object is as follows: The first incident appeared in the northwestern sky sometime after midnight around the first of August, 2017, as a white flash that I saw out of the corner of my eye, and that I initially thought was a standard aircraft. However, when I looked in the area where I saw the light, I could see no standard aircraft marking or navigation lights, no strobes, and no shape of any aircraft. I diverted my attention from the area, and then it appeared again, so I focused on the area and began to count to see if I could pick up some kind of regular interval. After about 19 seconds, I saw the flash, and measured the distance it had traversed to be approximately 4 fingers/125 mils/7 degrees from the southwest to the northeast. I continued to count, and the flash appeared again at 14 seconds, then at 16 seconds, and then seemed to lose intensity and disappear. I was only able to observe this object flash approximately 4 to 5 times, and it traversed approximately 600 mils / 33 degrees! of sky before it simply disappeared. The second incident happened around 0030 and was similar to the first, however, it occurred in the northeastern part of the sky, was only visible for 4 flashes, and only traversed approximately 125 mils / 7 degrees of sky before it disappeared. The location of the object was as follows: I observed these objects from Jarrell, TX, which is approximately 12 miles north of Georgetown, TX. The first incident in the western sky appeared approximately 540 mils/30 degrees above the line of the horizon in a northeasterly direction. The second, and most recent incident appeared in the eastern sky approximately 720 mils/40 degrees above the horizon in a eastern/northeastern direction. The objects appeared and disappeared instantaneously, and could not be tracked from horizon to horizon, as can the standard aircraft that fly through the area. Final thoughts: I would like to think it was a standard aircraft, but it exhibited none of the standard lights visible on most aircraft, nor could any shape or sound be identified, which is usually common, and the flight characteristics and intermittent use of light is completely out of character for any of the aircraft I observe operating in this area, or any rotary or fixed-wing aircraft I observed while serving as a jumpmaster for more than 10 years in the U.S. Army. I simply don't know what it was that I observed, or why it behaved in that manner. Witness elects to remain semi-anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aerodynamics were way to fast to be anything I've ever seen in the sky. Movements to the left and right, up and down very rapidly made me know it wasn't just a plane. Another one to two objects appears and they all seemed to look they they were dancing diamonds in the sky. Tried to record, however, when I tried, the objects would disappear. Went back into the house to get a family member to witness as well. Objects started right back up five minutes later then then vanished into space three minutes later. Glad to know I'm not crazy.

the same thing happened a couple of months ago and the light just vanishes, way too fast to be a drone or a plane and can't move like a plane or helicopter.
