Harper, TX
This object was round and white and looked like the planet Venus in the night sky. It was moving 3x faster than the ISS when seen from Earth. It was moving from West to East and faded into the earth's shadow south of my location. I saw a similar object over my house in November 2016 traveling from South to North with the same speed. No sound was emitted from the vehicle.

This is not the first UFO I've seen. I've seen them two times earlier around 1997. The first time I witnessed one was a Spectacular site. It happened over Colorado Springs viewed from just south of Cripple Creek very far away. I was with a roommate walk back to town after running out of gas. The point of light moved over C.S., just like a laser pointer on a wall would if you moved it wildly back and forth up and down. It did this for about 3 min. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Driving up the road towards a water tower I saw 5-6 dark red lights pop up in the distance in a random formation and they quickly disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

As I was watching it and thinking about the size, it shot south with a blue tail. As I told my boss, "look at that" it seemed to disappear behind what looked like a cloud. Don't know what it was. It might be nothing, but I can't explain it.

I saw a white light in the sky it almost looked like a star but was too close to be a star I thought it could've been a plane light and it wasn't I kept staring at it and it shot a green light orb out of it to earth. The white light it shot out of had a haze around it. Possible it's a laser of sorts that make crop circles? The white light was so close I captured a picture and usually stars you can't get a picture of. It look like a mini moon with an aura. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I don't think Venus disappears around 11 pm, or shoots green orbs of light out of it. Thanks. ((END ADDENDUM)) We suspect a sighting of Venus. We have corrected the date above. PD

Lakehills, TX
Blinking white lights at first and then behind a large cloud it lit up a bright orange and illuminated the cloud. It looked like the scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the little boy runs out of the house out in the country and you can see the clouds lit up - seriously. Then the white blinking lights moved to different positions and then glowed orange. They glowed on and off for awhile. They moved across the sky from east to west and would stop and glow. This is the same event we saw a few months ago. We wondered if they are coming to this area because of the lake. They were right over Medina Lake. It was a spectacular show to say the least but as always why? and Whom? No, there were no jet panes or other aircraft that came by to chase them. It was something to behold. Only the answers are lacking.

Jan 25, 2017 at 0300, Spouse and I went riding around starting at 0120 after going to bed early. The stars were extremely bright out, and we had seen more than twenty deer, with multiple raccoons, hogs, the normal country back road animals. We have been doing this on and off the past two weeks and nothing seemed out of ordinary. We decided before going home to go to a hidden place we found early on that was secluded off of hwy 1125 and Speights Road. Car turned off, husband had the night vision and was sitting out of the window, my window down occ. Flashing my light. I had seen a bright star but initially didn’t think anything of it. I layed my head on the car door and stared at the stars for a second then would turn and turn my flashlight on again. This time the brightest largest bright white light/star but it was moving slightly just enough to notice from like being in a box and bouncing off the sides. I called out to my husband two or three times quietly, then knocked him in the leg. He climbed back into the seat. I pointed at it and said, “Is that what I think it is?” He was quiet and just looking then said, “Look at these coming in.” Four circular, hazy, orange, orbs came up to the left of the bright “star.” The orbs went from a straight line to a chevron form two or three times before noticing there was more orange orbs coming from behind us. The bright star moved closer but stayed just below the tree line, looked like when the star blinked the orbs changed formation. When number 8-9 orbs showed up I was too nervous to stay any longer, but never got the feeling of being threatened. We were able to see them until very close to 287 and just before town there was a very large plane/shuttle that crossed from our right to our left at a fairly slow speed for a “plane.” The back of it had red and green lights on the back of it. Once we went over the overpass/287 we didn’t see them anymore.

My stepdaughter was out walking her dog and saw a green light in the south sky. It blinked out, moved slightly to the west and blinked on again. She came in and got me. The light had moved again but I saw it was green. Suddenly it turned bright white and expanded greatly in size. It stayed white several seconds then blinked out and was gone.

Austin, TX
I am trying to get other people on FB or otherwise to say they if saw it... I posted to FB 30 seconds after my witness, trying to get another witness. I was just casually outside having a smoke. I am an artist, and generally interested in the clouds, the stars, what the sky looks like. I wasn't paying any special attention. I saw the constelletion Orion, and thought, "that's odd; I don't think this rises for hours?" The sun was up, so not that visable. It started moving north across the sky way way way too fast to be stars. I was in Austin corner of 51/Airport this formation headed north. They looked like evening stars, except evening stars don't move even close to that fast. I sometimes have vision problems, so I kept taking my glasses on off, on off, on off. NO I saw the same thing either way. Last I checked, Orion doesn't change ten degrees in 30 seconds.

INTRODUCTION: As witnessed once before on 05-04-2012 at approx. 2225 hours by myself (see report submitted 05/13/2012 – Santa Fe, Texas) under the same ideal circumstances, while on my way to work as a police officer in Galveston, Texas, I see these strange lights in the eastern sky again. DETAILS: As stated above, it was after dark at approx. 7:30 P.M. While on my way to work an extra (side) job this time as a police officer from my home 23 miles away. I have watched the sky's ever since the first time I saw these things, perplexed for the longest time and wondering if I'd ever see them again? There's a whole lot of increased air traffic than ever before these days including military being this close to N.A.S.A. and the commercial air ports, etc. in and around Houston, Texas, which is what's always draws my attention especially after dark. This is what initially got my attention tonight, more than usual of which I was able to tell the difference between fixed wing air craft and helicopter's circling and crisscrossing the night sky in a grid search like pattern would be the only way I could put it? As if they were obviously attempting to either identify, locate, photograph, video, intercept, engage if necessary/even possible, or even perhaps the source themselves for these strange lights? I'm not saying they were, however I strongly suspect said air craft seeking out these strange lights were of our military in nature rather than commercial? Especially regarding the recent crash 3-5 days ago of one of The U.S. Army's Apache I believe it was, Helicopter's , killing the only two Air National Guardsmen aboard, either in The Galveston Bay or The Gulf itself I cant recall at this time? I have yet to follow up on whats to be known of that? One of several flying routine patrol's it appears post 911 and awful low along the edge's of The Gulf at night as if they're either expecting or suspecting something? I was on a different road way (State Highway 517 in Dickinson) this time, the next town to the north of Santa Fe but parallel's High Way 1764 regarding where I saw the strange lights in 2012. Trying to pay attention to my driving and watch the night sky's at the same time in scanning the south eastern sky's at, about, or over The Gu! lf of Mexico, BAM! There they were again. Only this time I was! some wh at prepared. I had a camera in the car for this very reason of which I will work on getting a copy of a 55 second some what decent video to you at N.U.F.O.R.C., you tube, etc. if I can the first chance I get . DISCRIPTION OF STRANGE LIGHTS: The only thing different regarding these strange “orbs of light” - “fire balls”, etc. were the formation and color. As personally seen before and by hundred's of others world wide it seems, were some of the very same “orange” in color. This time, they appeared predominantly all white, to green and orange forming two separate triangular in nature type pattern's of 5 each with approx. another 8-9 that I could count from the video I took scattered about all of which, acting in what has become an all too familiar way as described, photographed, videoed, etc. in the way they come and go and distinct formations. I personally am so tired of seeing and/or hearing main stream media and other obstructionist type individuals all to often willing to write something off they can not easily explain away as these stupid “Chinese Lantern's”, "flare's" of some sort, etc. being the reason why I took the time in constructing and submitting this report. I feel safe in stating in what we do know is, THIS IS NOT, what they are, period. Something definitely appears to be going on whether meant to be secretive in nature or not in these strange lights showing themselves and frequency cited since 2012 in the "well written article" linked to this home page. DISPOSITION: Supplemental information forthcoming.

BRIGHT OBJECT; GREEN LIGHT ON ONE SIDE; FLICKERED OUT, STARTED AGAIN, UNTIL SHOOTING OFF.

San Antonio, TX
The object hovered over our street originating from the south. It flew in a quarter circle pattern over the convent property across from us as it dimmed its light and dissapeared. Two identical objects followed after the first object in the same pattern at the same speed and dissapeared at the exact same spot as the first. The only conclusion I can come to, what ever they were, they must have been drawn by the fireworks. They appeared to have been observing them as they hovered over our street at a very low altitude. I never saw an aircraft, nor did I hear an engine sound or propeller sounds and it made no contrail as it flew by. I only saw three separate individual orange redish lights in the sky. And the weather conditions for 01/01/2017 at 12:58am central time in San Antonio TX is, Weather conditions were clear Temperature 48 degrees farenheight Dew point was 46 degrees Humidity was 94% Barometric pressure was 29.83 Wind speed was 0 mph from the north. Precipitation was 0 inches And visibility was 10 miles. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is a very capable and reliable witness. PD

San Antonio, TX
What I initially noticed was a large orange light that was kind of glowing rather than blinking like normal aircraft... As I continued to watch the craft fly from right to left (south toward the north) about 50 degrees from the horizon I realized it's too big to be a Chinese lantern (about half the size of a dime held at arms length) and is not any kind of aircraft I am familiar with.. no other lights just one large glowing fireball. It was flying at a normal airplane speed.. maybe a little slower and produced no sound. About a minute later I see a second object flying from the same direction.. It to goes by then a third, a fourth.. I watch ten orange fireballs go by. They were flying at different altitudes and distances, some are larger some smaller and have slightly different 'shape'. The tops produced a slight halo of a lighter shade of orange. I ran into the house and grabbed my iphone and came back outside in time to film the final one go by. I think it was 11 total but it may have been 12. It was like a ufo parade. Very strange. I'm certain others must have seen it as they flew across the whole of east and north San Antonio. After they left a couple airplanes, possibly military, flew past the general area.

Texhoma, TX
My cousin and I were driving around our ranch 30 miles south of the town of Texhoma in the Panhandle of Texas on the night of December 27th, 2016, from about 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Below is a detailed account of an object we saw in the sky that night. I will email videos. At about 7:15 p.m., I commented on how bright the stars were to my cousin and while looking at the sky I noticed a bright light in the west-northwest direction from us that was too large and too bright to be a star in the sky. I commented on it, but my cousin and I didn’t think too much of it as we thought it was a plane passing through. A few minutes passed by, and I turned my attention back to the stars and noticed the light again. It didn’t appear to have moved from when I initially saw it just a few minutes before. We talked about how that was kind of odd so we watched it for maybe 2-3 minutes. It was hard to gauge the distance between us and the object being that it was already dark outside. I would estimate it was somewhere around 5-10 miles away. The object appeared to be moving but at a pretty slow pace. At this point in the night the object looked like a big circular bright light in the sky. We quickly lost interest in the object again and ended up driving about 40 miles north to another ranch of ours located on the north side of Texhoma. It was about 8:15 p.m. and I looked up to the sky and saw the object again. It was in the west-southwest part of the sky at this point, which makes me think it did not move a whole lot. It was noticeably closer making it much bigger and brighter than just an hour before. My cousin and I both witnessed this and we also noticed that there appeared to be something spinning around the light. It appeared to be like a fan or a mill and it was moving very fast around the circular light but it was not lit up so it wasn’t as clear. This really got our attention so we pulled over and got out to watch it for around 20 minutes. It was moving back and forth at the same slow pace but not getting much closer to us or following any sort of pattern. The light was a whitish yellow with instances of slow and subtle hues of red and orange. It appeared to change brightness and sometimes the circle would get bigger and the light would be less concentrated and then it would almost insta! ntly shr ink to about half its size and at the same time become much brighter. After looking at it in awe for around 20 minutes we got back in the vehicle and started driving back to town. We began going west directly at the light but it appeared further and further away as we headed directly toward it. We then hit the main highway and hopped on it going south back to town for the night. The object faded off into the distance behind us. The only thing that I can think of in this part of the world that would be that high in the sky are the grain elevators, which have lights on them. However they have many lights all over them. I am stumped. I can confidently say it was a flying object. However, I have never seen anything like it and I have seen thousands of planes go over our land in the day and at night in complete darkness. I was able to snap a couple pictures and videos of the object while at the ranch north of town. I will email to the address provided on the site. The email will be labeled “UFO TEXAS PANHANDLE”. Thanks ((initials deleted)) We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD

Garland, TX
i went out at 1840 pm to have a smoke and noticed a big bright light in the southwest sky. I first thought it was a aircraft of sometime but it wasnt moving. i watched it for 7-10 minutes and it was stationary in the sky. This light was huge compared to stars and other lights in the sky. I put my little finger on my right hand over the light to try and gauge its size. The lights size was that about halve the size of a pencil eraser. It was very bright and to be honest the closest thing I could compare it too and i know this sound hokey but it's shape reminded me of "the star of Bethlehem"...just a big bright light with a four point star look. I came inside house to grab camcorder and it's battery was dead so i started charging my camera. I then went to google and googled astronomy events and all i could find was that Jupiter was near waning crescent moon at 1am this morning. I could find nothing about what I was seeing. I went back out and watched some more and it was just a big stationary light. At no time did i think this was a Helicopter as I see those all the time with there spot lights on. Since it was dark I couldnt tell if this was a celestial or terrestrial light...i believe it was celestial. I came back outside at 1950 and the light is completely gone!! it is just gone...we do have some clouds but I can still see the stars that are much dimmer than this light in the southwest sky. I have no idea what I saw. I wanted to submit this report in case someone else witnessed the same thing. I just googled star drawings and the image that fits what I saw is the "christmas star"...that's the closest i can describe for you.

Richardson, TX
01:26am or 01:27am, today on December 19, 2016. I saw my first UFO's in my lifetime, it was interesting. (I am 53 years of age) 3 relatively small triangular shaped craft - flying in formation from West to East, and witnessed them as I was standing in my front yard. (just North of Dallas Texas, and the night sky was very clear) They emitted just a faint/low white light, and their formation was close together and smooth. They were all the same size and shape, and traveled in a somewhat close together V-formation - although their close proximity to each other had slight lateral variance as they were traveling. They were completely silent and traveling quite swiftly and much faster than commercial aircraft - approximately twice the speed. The trailing/back edge of these triangular crafts indented slightly in their shape. All of the leading and end points on these craft were slightly rounded. I guessed them around 10,000 ft. altitude. My first personal estimate on these UFO's is that they are U.S. technology. When I first noticed them from further away, I thought it was marker lights from a lower flying commercial jet airplane. I actually am grateful and feel privileged that I saw them.

Pearland, TX
On the morning of Saturday December 10, 2016, at 07:12 AM, my wife’s phone received an alert that the living room security camera had pick up motion. We were still in the bedroom. My wife and I are the only people living in the home, so I assume our dog must have set it off. ((dog's name deleted)) (the dog) is gated off from the living room, but I thought we might have left the gate open inadvertently. I checked the event recordings and saw a white round something come under the front door, fly in a non straight line through the living room and past the camera. I do not know what it was. The dog gate was closed, doors locked and deadbolted. I have saved the video of the event.

Lake Jackson (Brazoria Co.), TX
On Tuesday December 6, 2016, at 1:15 p.m. central time, people in southern Brazoria County (south of Houston) all heard, and felt, something that was like a giant door closing, something dropping or a big downward aerial push. There were no seismic events reported by the geophysical web sites that track such things. It was not an industrial event. There were reports from the cities of Angleton, TX, Freeport, TX. and Lake Jackson, TX. Included here is a post from the local newspapers' Facebook account. The Facts 15 mins· We have checked with multiple law enforcement agencies, as well as the plants, to see if they could provide any information on the reported explosions/house-shakings in Brazosport and Angleton. They are as curious about them as the rest of us. We will report on anything they and we are able to find out. I spoke to Mr. Davenport about this and he suggested making this report. (( We spoke with a news reporter at the local news outlet for Brazoria County, TX, www.TheFacts.com, and she confirmed that her offices had received similar reports. The journalist added that she had contacted local government offices, and had found no one who was able to cite the cause of the sounds. The
