My Friends and I were laying down looking at the stars on a lake listening to music. one friend stood up and the other sat up to talk to him and as i played there i noticed 4 lights moving under the big dipper they were flying in a v formation but more like a check mark cuz there was an extra one on the right side, the were orange tint but not like a normal light it was more of a glow, the manner of which they moved was amazing it was like a leaf on a body of water being pushed by the breeze, i thought i was imagining it so i said ever so elegantly "((What)) is that?" and to my surprise both of my friends saw the same object we were baffled and we watched it for a few more seconds before it disappeared into the light pollution of houston, now this a key part of this sighting PLANES do not disappear in light pollution you can still see a plane in light pollution because it does not fly high enough so given this and the size of these lights they had to be! of enormous size they were bigger than a plane that passed by later that we watched even as it was flying into the light pollution, the light pollution covered theses orbs meaning it was flying above the 3000 miles that a plane flys this was a breath taking experience and changed my life. there was no sound!!! we heard the plane that came later!!!! ((What)) did i SEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 2 planes came after i don't know if they were military or not but they were noticeable as i described, the lights also appeared to never change distance and if there was a weird haze almost like you see on camouflaged ships in sic fi movies. truly breath taking.

In the early morning night sky my wife and I noticed a really bright light in the sky. We at first thought it was a star but there were no other stars and the light was way too bright. It seemed to be hovering for some time, so we sat and watched as it held altitude and location for over thirty minutes. As the sun started to rise the round light slowly started moving higher, and after an hour it was so high and far in the atmosphere it could not be seen. There is no explanation for what we saw, it was not an aircraft, meteor, or star. This was an object of some sort though, it had defined shape and propulsion which made it move. I have been around aircraft for over 28 years with the Air Force and my current position as an aircraft mechanic with Boeing Aerospace. This was not any comercial aircraft or known military aircraft, but was some sort of propelled object. I'm convinced now that earth is being watched by someone or something not wanting to be known, however this morning we saw you.

The objects were flying together in a pattern and then one of the object verged away slightly and then came back.

I get up early for work, and it is not unusual to take the dog out before daybreak. On May 10, I was outside with the dog at 5:15 am, waiting for her to finish up so I could get ready for work. I was looking at the sky to see what stars I could identify, but there were scattered clouds so I didn’t see many. I realized there was a very bright light behind one group of clouds and thought to myself that the moon was extremely bright. The clouds were low and as they moved past the bright light, what I originally thought was the glow of the moon was not the moon after all. I didn’t see any definitive shape, just a very bright light, like a spotlight, and I thought it must be a helicopter. It definitely wasn’t an airplane--it didn’t move. Then I realized for a spotlight to be that bright and that large, I should hear some sort of sound. While we do live a couple of miles from a freeway, at that hour of the morning, there is very little noise in the neighborhood. This morning was no different, and this was no helicopter. I looked out at the yard to see where the dog was then looked back at the sky—no more than 5-6 seconds had lapsed--and the light was gone.

I tried to take video, and was unable due to how small the lights were and how fast they were going I heard no sound before, as, or after they passed but they were low enough for clouds to obstruct them at one point. One had a 2 second lead or so on the other they were kind of side by side but one following. I am very close to Dyess AFB, which is to the west, but they did not veer left of go west just North and I lost sight within a minute the whole event lasted less than 2 minutes starting when they were out in front of me to the south and high and far enough to look like strange colored stars. I would say closer to 1 minute for the event, that fast, no sound???

Wylie, TX
I was sitting on my window edge just talking to some friends in a call. My window is on the 2nd floor of the house so a good 20 feet above the ground. As I was sitting there I saw an object flying off in the distance. I took my headphones out to see if I could hear any noise from it as it was flying relatively low. There was no noise coming from it. The object also emitted blue and red lights and at times white lights. The first time it came around and moved across the sky it flew really smooth and fast for an airplane which I don't believe it was. After it flew out of my sight of view I began to keep an eye out. Around 5 minutes later, it reappeared from the same area. This time however the blue light stayed on the whole time and the red light it had blinked between bright and dim. A very subtle detail I saw was that the object seemed to move a little faster whenever the red light was brighter and slowed down when it was dimmed. The object also was flying si! gnificantly slower the 2nd time it came back as it was in my field of view for a few minutes rather than just one. The only thing in the areas it went to that it could have checked out were ranches and open land.

Waxahachie, TX
On Saturday, May 6, 2017, at approximately 9:15-9:20 p.m. central time, in Waxahachie, Texas, (Latitude 32.4098 longitude -96.8454), I noticed a glider-shaped object flying approximately 50 feet over my head. Its wingspan fully covered the two-car driveway I was walking on, and then some. I was walking directly north towards my house after checking on my kids who were attending a birthday party at another home in my complex. I noticed something just above my line of vision. At first I thought it was a cloud forming, as it had the consistency of a fine, mist type cloud. As it continued to move forward, I realized that the object had a solid outline with a consistent shape. At that point, I thought perhaps it was a hang glider, but considering that this was in Texas, where there are no large hills, that made no sense at all. Then, I thought it might have been a flock of birds, but the object had a solid form and a consistency of shape as it flew by. It continued to fly or glide at a consistent rate and a direct line path, until I could no longer see it. The object was completely silent. There were no lights. The object almost blended into the starry background of the sky. It had a somewhat mottled color of white and possibly dark, navy blue, grey or black. The event lasted approximately 30 seconds before the image either evaporated, disappeared, or merely faded into the skyline, where the lights of the city were glowing over the homes across the street. It was a beautiful clear night with no clouds. I was taking photographs of the moon earlier in the evening. The object was flying very low and appeared to be only about 30 feet above the roof line of the homes it was flying over. The object was not moving very fast. If I had started running very quickly I might have been able to keep up with it. I did not witness any entities, missing time, and I had not consumed any alcohol or drugs, I was completely alone. The only physical experience I had was feeling sick to my stomach, approximately 30 minutes later, that lasted about 20 minutes. At first my logical brain was trying to determine what I was looking at. I was in shock and awe. By the time my brain registered that this was possibly an UFO I had a split-second thought to grab my cell phone and record it, but by then it was gone. I was not in fear of the object at the time, because I was trying to determine what it was and the possibility of it being a UFO was the farthest thing from my mind, until it vanished.

At approximately 11:30 AM I was on the balcony of my apartment when I saw a flying object descending in the sky very rapidly. It traveled from west to east over Walnut Creek where it appeared to land on the trail. It definitely went below the tree line. This was near Brentwood Christian School on North Lamar. The craft was about 150m from my apartment, approximately 100 feet in the air and looked like it could have had a diameter of maybe 50 feet, but I didn't see the top of it clearly. It was shaped like an upside-down saucer and it had a clearly metallic surface, like brushed aluminum. It wasn't wobbling or tumbling or anything like that, just a very smooth controlled descent. I heard no sound at all. I would not have noticed this object if I hadn't already been looking directly at the sky.

First noticed a blue-green light in the sky. Small about the size of a pin point. I thought it was a commercial plan but then it moved fast and then just stopped in the sky. I saw the other end of it and it was fire orange like some type of vent. It at times moved in the direction the vent was pointing. Oposite of what normal craft do. This object moved so smoothly across the sky at fast speeds, slowing down, stopping, changing direction and angle effortlessly. It was taller from top to bottom than it was wide, no wings. The best was to describe is it was like a fly just smoothly making all the changes in flight pattern. I saw a commercial air craft in between me and it and could judge distances from sizes of plane and it. Hair stood up on my neck and I was very scared for the first min when I realized this is not normal and nothing I have ever seen before. And then a peaceful calm came over me and I just took in what I was seeing for next 30 sec. I did not have my phone on me and did not want to leave to go get it. For a second, I looked next to me to see if anyone else saw I looked back and it was completely gone except for some shiny particles specs of light that disappeared also in a second. Amazing....!!!!!!!

Cedar Park, TX
A friend and I were flying RC drones in the park (Quest Park, Cedar Park, TX. 78613). When the sun went down we started to put everything away when we noticed the UFO. The UFO looked like a translucent triangle that was totally silent. It was traveling around 20mph about 100 feet in the air heading North West. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

We saw 4 ufo's the first 3 were in an arrow shape with one tagging along behind and then a couple seconds later they all merged into a line. They were fluttering back and forward. They arched the line a little bit and then flew out into the sky and disappeared. They looked like dim lighted ovals in the sky, no markings or bulky items just very dim balls of light. They passed by the apartments pond for about 30 seconds to a minute and then they went to far for us to see. There was no sound coming from any of them. There was also a very bright shooting star that flew across the sky just seconds before the objects strolled on by.

I 36 and my son 4 star gaze every night before bed. I grew up on lake Michigan, lived in Arizona and now in Texas. I've looked at the stars since I was very little and I've seen every explainable thing out there. I don't know what I saw but I know nothing in the sky could move like this. It looked exactly like a very bright star or planet you see in the night sky. If the moon appeared to be an inch wide it was stationary three inches above and one to the right. I grabbed my son and showed him the bright star or planet by the moon in the day time. I wanted him to see stars and planets and the moon could be seen in the day. Then it started moving below the moon. about two inches in straight line. So no concern. It was when this very bright star moved two inches to the right then down and to the left. Then back up and to the left (passing the left side of the moon)then just disappeared. It looked like a very bright white star the entire time. (very obvious)

On Sunday evening, April 23, 2017, around 9:30 pm, I went outside of my home to check on the horses. I live in a rural area of Texas, and have very little light pollution, so I can normally see a night sky filled with stars. The dogs had been barking quite a bit that night, so I went outside to check to see if something was amiss. I was outside for a few minutes to make certain that everything was alright with the animals and to quieten the dogs, then turned to go back inside the house. Before I went completely into the garage, for some reason I turned and looked back at the sky. The sky was very clear that night and I do not recall seeing any clouds – only stars. I was facing the northeast, at the time, and saw a very bright, single light moving slowly across the sky, parallel to the horizon (i.e. sideways, tilted slightly upwards). This was approximately the speed of a single engine prop plan – based on what I could tell. This was a single light and it did not have a tail, so it absolutely was not a meteor, meteorite, or falling star. We see a lot of those in the sky, but this light was 2-4 times larger than most of the ones that I normally see. The light was moving east to north, again, very slowly and I observed it for several seconds - possibly even a minute. Suddenly, the light disappeared completely. It didn’t fade, as a meteor or meteorite does, it was like someone turned-off a switch and everything went dark. There was nothing in the sky to block my view and this light was well above the trees. Also, there was absolutely no sound at all, so it obviously was not a plane, drone, or helicopter. I continued to watch after the light disappeared, but it never returned and there was never any sound. Everything was still extremely quiet, except for some cows about 1 mile away and my previously rowdy dogs were now completely silent.

Dickinson (headed toward Galveston), TX
Was around 10:30pm. I looked up to see a red glowing orb, about the size of an airplane. There was a green blinking light that looked to be on top of the craft. The craft at one point swayed left to right several times in a way that I was sure this was no plane. It was traveling around three times the normal speed of a plane. After passing us, the crafts lights turned to a white steady light as it moved out of site heading south toward Galveston, Texas.

I was standing on my back porch about 4:30 pm, and spotted a UFO flying over my house, from South to North, at an extremely high rate of speed. I estimate the altitude to be between 2000 and 3000 feet. I saw what looked like a burst of smoke or a short contrail twice from the rear and once from the front, all of which quickly disappeared. The object was spherical in shape, appeared to be silver in color and made no sound. It never changed course and I lost sight of it over my roof after about 10 seconds. I am a retired Army aviator, and the object did not look like a conventional aircraft of any kind. I thought it might be a drone, but not like one that I have ever seen.

Red and blinking object remains steady in the sky; unlike stars that appear stationary. I thought it might be a plane or helicopter, but it is not moving, just appears to have legs that are the same color as the object that is blinking—it appears to be transmitting. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found her to be quite serious minded and sincere. However, we suspect that she may have been observinc a twinkling star. We encouraged her to look in the same area of the sky, at the same time of night. PD

I witnessed multiple lights in the sky totaling at about 13. They would disappear and reappear close to where they were, but impossibly to far away from where they were for a plane. Like a flash then in a new spot. They seemed to all be separate crafts, as they didn't usually move together.
