Dallas, TX
I was lying on a lounge chair by the hotel pool looking up at the sky. I saw something flying that looked similar to the stars but it was doing acrobatic maneuvers. I filmed it with my iPhone. When I watched it, I noticed a second object moving much faster - I did not see it with my naked eye. I didn't notice the second one until I watched the footage. I e-mailed the video to you.

Houston, TX
Was looking south, clear sky and the sun was exposing a small bright diamond. I thought maybe plane at first but it wasn't. It was a good clear sighting, it was moving south and sort of curving west. It went over a large population, I'm sure it was seen by others. Thanks! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Houston, TX
I lived near an airport for a couple of years. Planes and helicopters were something I was used to, and I had come to learn the flight patterns and pathways, how each craft looked, what lights it displayed, how it traveled, etc. At IAH the planes never come from the West, as they only enter and exit going North or South, with a quick, sharp turn here or there. And you could always hear them since we lived right across from the airport. The planes took off straight over the apartment (could feel the walls vibrate sometimes). That’s how I knew this was something strange. After dinner one evening, I let my dog outside to do her business. I was standing out there watching her, when I looked in the sky and saw a floating, white orb on the West side (almost directly across from me), above the treetops. It almost looked like a star, but was too big, too bright, and too close to convince me of such. It had a shine to it like a diamond. It was NOT solid white, and the “shine” would get brighter and then dim back down. If I had to guess, it wasn’t but a few miles from me. There was no sound, and it wasn’t stationary. It very slowly travelled left to right to left to right again. The object also staggered in movement, and moved up and down as well. Which then convinced me this was no star or planet, since the Earth travels in a directional orbit. Aside from that point, even during the clearest weather, it’s extremely difficult to see stars when you live in the city, especially in a city as big as Houston. This sighting lasted for about 15 minutes until I got a strange feeling that I was being watched. I became so weirded out that I went back inside. I later (don’t remember what time) mustered up the courage to go back outside, and the orb was gone. But there was now a helicopter (with an obvious red-blinking light on the tail) looking around the same area with a spotlight. It circled around the area several times, moving its spotlight around, as if searching for something. I have never seen anything like it since then.

San Antonio, TX
It was a diamond shaped craft. It looked almost black. There was a white light in each corner. Only white lights. It moved quickly but not with super speed. It made no noise. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Houston, TX
Yesterday, I reported seeing a diamond moving over my townhouse in Spring Branch, Texas (Houston), I go upstairs and I started hearing jets. I hear passenger jets all the time as I'm under a flight path but these were loud! I call the dog and we go downstairs, as soon as i got to the same spot I daw saw the object, two fighter jets came flying by! F-22 or F-16 and they were low and banking. It made me feel weird as I have never seen that before, not in my neighborhood. I tried to record them but all I got was the sound of engine. Something went down yesterday for sure. Around the I-10 & Beltway 8 area I live a little NE of there. There's a YouTube video fighter jets over Houston somebody else saw them. Thanks!

Granbury, TX
I reside in Granbury, TX. This evening, about 1930 hours, as I went to retrieve my flag, I was looking off to the west northwest and observed an object in the sky. Low on the horizon. Didn’t think too much of it, but on closer inspection I noticed it had a trailing portion to the object. As I continued to watch the object it appeared to be relatively stationary. I went inside my home and retrieved a spotting scope I had and focused in on the object. Still appeared stationary. It had an obvious tailing apart from the frontal portion of the object. It appeared to continue to be stationary but due to the rotation of the Earth in was on a downward trajectory relative to the night sky and my position. It did not appear to be lessening in intensity at all. That is all I can report as I’m obviously not very technical in my description. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and serious-minded. We asked whether the object might have been a "twinkling" star, and he stated that it was not. PD

Strip of bright orange lights in a "S"'shape or 2, rotating slowly, moving slow and silent. Heading East. Time above may be flawed. The source of the report indicates a morning sighting, but a corrected time may be 2140 hrs., 9:40 p.m.. PD

Kerrville, TX
I had observed this several times but on this morning it was close enough to view some detail with my binoculars. The object was in the south west sky in the lower quadrant toward the horizon. It appears as a triangle with red lights at the corners, because I could see more detail this time a metallic sphere was in the middle of the triangle and when it stopped moving the sphere would move out of the triangle then prior to moving again the sphere would move back into the triangle and it would continue on a random course moving up down and horizontally. Once as an aircraft approached the object lowered to the horizon and set there until the plane was well past its position then rose up and continued the random pattern. I have witnessed these objects (I have seen up to 3 at one time) for the past year but this was the first time to be able to make out any detail.

McKinney, TX
At approximately 0105, while walking my dog, I observed a single point of light approximately the same size and brightness as the stars visible in Orion and being white in color. This light traveled from North to South in a straight line, leaving no trail and making no noticeable sounds. The light did not change shape or color. I was not able to track the final destination of the object due to trees blocking my view. When I arrived back home, I looked up the ISS and any satellite which may have passed over the area and there is not a listing of any object transiting at the time on this date and at that time.

Murphy, TX
Sitting in backyard with my wife facing the South sky. We both noticed a dull bronze colored rectangle heading in a straight line from South to North at approximately 8:45 PM CST. No sound as it cruised above. I could not estimate size or distance. I could not estimate speed but it did pass across the night sky very quickly. No lights just a slight reflected glow from lights on the ground.

Houston, TX
At 4:30am this morning, Oct 2, 2016, in Houston, TX, all cable signal was lost in the house which has never happened. Soon after cable signal was lost, so was all the power on the block (walked outside). After walking outside to inspect outage, in a clear sky we spotted an aqua green, translucent object moving slowly from a round to oval shape (looked, compared to a jellyfish without tentacles and size as to holding a quarter at arm's width away from face), traveling at un-constant rate of speed and direction, without making a sound. We watched for 30-45 seconds then made a hard left and shot quickly out of sight. Minutes after witnessing this and discussing with others that saw it, seemed to be military helicopter moving at a high rate of speed in the same direction as the strange light. After object was out of sight all power and signal returned to normal. From being in shock we didn’t get any pictures or footage. There were four others than me that witnessed this sighting. Interested in finding out if anyone in the area seen the same or anything comparable to what we saw.

Plano, TX
At the park in the dark with my son we see a lot of aircraft. Our neighborhood is in the flight path of passenger jets flying into Love Field in Dallas, TX. We have a hospital a 1/4 mile from our neighborhood to the NW and helicopters fly in and land frequently. But all of a sudden we see 4 royal blue blinking lights in formation. Three were in an isosolese triangle shape and a fourth was off to the side. They appeared to be higher than one of the incoming jets initially, about twice as high. They were blinking in a perfect pattern one after another - all four lights about .5 seconds apart. They flew slowly North over our neighborhood at the same height it appeared until it was so far north that they almost disappeared entirely. After about 15 minutes they came closer and brighter again but were much higher up in they sky and were directly above us to the West. The forth light was trailing further behind and took off towards the West without the three lights in triangle formation. The remaining three continued to climb straight up until they became smaller and smaller until they disappeared altogether almost directly above where we were standing. The night was completely still - no breeze or wind at all. The lights made absolutely no sound.

Millsap, TX
I was driving from Stephenville to Fort Worth. It was a clear night without any clouds or rain. I was on I-20 heading East. On the eastern horizon I saw a bright blue flying disk heading towards me and flying directly over the road. It was flying very high at a planes altitude. Slightly lower and to the right of the blue flying saucer was a small plane. The small plane had a red light on the left wing and a white light on the right wing. The plane's lights were flashing lights on both wings. It was much smaller than a commercial plain. It was triangular shaped and flying at a plane's speed while following this blue flying saucer. It was not directly behind it but flying slightly lower and to the right of it. The plane did follow the flying disk, going the exact same route. The bright blue flying saucer was twice as large as the plane and flying higher. It was as bright as a star and was flying incredibly fast. The saucer came from the East and was directly heading West. It seemed like it was going as fast as a shooting star, but it had no light trail or haze. The saucer flew directly parallel to I-20. I watched it directly pass over me threw my sun roof. I saw the bottom of the flying saucer. It apeared to be a perfect circle with a clearly defined blue rim. Even though it was very bright it was not fuzzy around the edges like a light or a star. The saucer kept the perfectly defined circle shape. It flew at an impossible speed, making it from as far as I could see on the Eastern horizon to the Western horizon behind me in 1 to 2 seconds. The small plane followed behind it but at a much slower plane speed. The flying saucer flew in a straight line. The bright blue flying saucer was so fast that I doubted if others on the road even caught a glimpse of it. It was too fast for me to get to my phone. I also saw what I thought was a meteor crash the last time I drove from Stephenville to Fort Worth. It was on September 9th 2016 at 01:00. I was on 281 heading north to I-20 from Stephenville. I saw what looked like an orange shooting star. That turned into a fireball. I watched to see were it landed but it disappeared before it hit the ground, like it burned up. The center of the fireball looked like a black line. These events were within 20 miles of each other, and about a month apart.

I was taking pictures of the 2016 Blood moon with a 35mm camera about 5/10 minuets apart. Only checking the photos every few snaps. When I saw a blur of different lights. when I looked at it it seemed to be about 8 stories tall by counting the what looked like maybe windows. Small square green lights in rolls. Perfect centralized. there looked to be a oval shaped looking top in the middle of the thing with one roll of the green lights. There were different colored lights also around the object but seemed to be all on the outside of it. Some seemed to be triangular, while a different color was square. A blue light appeared to be the lowest. It only took me a second to view the photo and when I continued to get another photo it was gone, but after that there were many different lines going through the shine of the moon that had not been there before. I sent the photos to Mufon and after months they sent me a letter stating that it was undetermined. It still! haunts me to know what I saw. so decided to try again with some other researchers .

When walking outside there was an oval, teardrop shaped shiny but almost transparent object in the sky. Almost like a balloon, but it was not moving. It was toward the west.

Alice, TX
At about 4am, I was coming home and a friend and I saw this huge light in the sky right outside my apartment. It was either really big or really close. At first it sat stationary and looked like truck headlights in the sky. Then as my friend started to record it started to move downward and to the right behind some trees out of view. As if it new we were watching. It stayed behind the trees for a good minute, but then changed course and started to head back into our view. Its color changed to a red color and slowly faded into the distance before disappearing

Austin, TX
Security camera facing south recorded a quick bright flash that turned the twilight sky briefly into a very bright pink for about a sec. This was not reflections of car headlights or lightning as there are numerous such events that trigger off the camera's zone activity detector. It may not also be LASER LED from a neighbor because the light was pinkish and lasers are usually red (green sometimes, blue rare).

Springtown, TX
Every night at about 10pm I step outside for a cigarette and to see the Texas stars. Tonight, some sort of craft, which literally had no sound flew in an odd pattern overhead. Large planes, small private craft, and at times helicopters fly over, but obviously they all have sound. This was some sort of aircraft with a lit arc on top that was visible, with about 3 to 4 spread out lights underneath that appeared to be rotating. I was in the USAF – and I’ve NEVER seen a craft like that, whether from the flightline or up in the sky. Plus the flight pattern was extremely swift and “rounded” without any sound. It actually made me feel strange to watch it…like a sinking feeling - I’ve never experienced that with visualizing aircraft before. The arced light was like a constant bar/stream, and the lights underneath were rotating. It wasn’t a toy, because I work in advertising, and I know what toy or drone craft look like. So for me, this was something completely unidentifiable/odd/unknown. Out in Springtown, if it were of conventional technology, I would have heard some sort of noise from the aircraft –but it was silent. It flew in like a slingshot style of pattern – not a conventional straight overhead pattern. The lights never “tilted”. From my iPhone compass, I was literally standing at 32 degrees, 57’28” N 97 degrees, 40’36” W, 860 ft elevation.

Frisco, TX
My brother and I were driving home from dinner in Frisco and saw flashes of orange above the clouds to the northeast. It was very odd because there weren't clouds anywhere else except in that direction. My brother initially thought it was distant fireworks, but we quickly agreed that the flashing was appearing far too high in the sky to be that. It basically looked like constant lightning above the clouds for the entire drive home. There was no rain at all in the vicinity and the color of the light was orange.

Lakehills, TX
I took my dog out for a walk at 2100 hrs last night, Sept 15. I live in Lakehills at Medina Lake in Elm Cove. I spotted two big white round balls of light above the two cell phone towers just south of me. I just thought they were the towers & didn’t think much about it, then realized they were much higher than the towers. They were bright for five seconds or so then disappeared. Then a few minutes later I saw two more just NW of the towers. Same thing, they stayed bright for a while then disappeared. Then I saw the two above the towers again. Then I saw one further NW a little higher than the others & then one to the left which was lower. This happened several times with the object in different places. The last time I saw them there were three all at the same level & close together. There appeared to be smaller lights in between them. Then they seemed to merge together & then disappeared. There never seemed to be any movement on any of the sightings except at the end when they merged together. This all happened between 2100-2130 hrs on a clear night. There were stars out and the moon was almost full. I never heard any strange noises. These objects were maybe 15-20 degrees above the horizon & I was looking to the west. I was so glad to find this website & see that someone else NW of Medina Lake had seen the same type objects two nights before. He/she described them as orange. I will definitely be out there looking for them again tonight!

San Marcos, TX
What I witnessed was a very low flying formation of large circular lights in a straight horizontal line, each equidistant from each other. I think there were 6 lights. Much larger and brighter than an airplanes standard running lights. The craft or objects probably no more than 300 feet above the ground. I think 2 of the lights were red the rest were white. One of the red lights was blinking. It went right over my apartment. Flying very low. I saw it from my room looking out the window. I am very interested if anyone else saw this. I could hear it moving through the air but didn't sound like a jet engine or propeller. Something different. Very peculiar. Flying low and relatively silent. I've seen lots of airplanes in the night sky and this was something very different. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Orange sphere bigger than your regular star appears in the night sky for a few seconds and then blinks off. We were facing south looking towards Medina Lake. The lake is visible from my house and is about two miles away. Lakehills, Texas is about 40 miles northwest of San Antonio. The orange ball then reappears a bit further from original appearance but not by much then blinks off again. Then another appears further to the west and also blinks off. Then one blinks on and two more blink on next to it. Another blinks on a short distance away from it. Then one by one they blink off. At one point about six or seven were blinking on and off. All of them were the same color which was orange. There was no sound, no moving any direction either sideways or up or down. There were no flares and they were not fireballs, aircraft, flares or drones. Though they appeared in different parts of the sky they were all aligned at same altitude. They were not very hi! gh and best guess is probably no more than 2500 feet and could have been less. They were round like a basketball and they glowed on and then off. After about 5 minutes or so the show was over. They reminded me of the Phoenix lights. There was some moonlight and a few clouds. They did not appear behind clouds and we could not discern if they were connected together. I believe they were separate because at one point one or two would appear above each other. Tried to take a photo but they would blink off too quickly. Fascinating little show to say the least. Though this is my personal opinion it seemed to me that they knew we were observing them and thus the display. Who knows?
