Austin, TX
An enormous fireball zipped overhead, leaving a trail behind it, and apparently landed on the ground. Several citywide blackouts and electronic disturbances took place in the hours prior to this happening. I was driving along I-35 around 7:43PM, when I saw a massive spherical ball of yellow light moving along the sky leavng behind a blue-white trail behind. Sparks were emanating from it similar to those a large Tesla coil produces. The light then disappeared and a smaller metallic object appeared where the light was. The object was a lustrous disc or saucer-shaped object and appeared to land west of I-35. Hundreds of people saw this. There were massive and alternating blackouts in Austin 12-24 hours before this took place. Several radio towers were also malfunctioning that day, leading to certain television programs such as CBS not airing. Please investigate this incident. I am shocked and frightened by what I saw. A well written report, but we wonder whether it is a serious-minded, and sincere, report. If anyone knows anything about the alleged blackouts, or about the event itself, we would welcome additional reports. PD

Got home from traveling out of state, went outside to smoke a cigarette, and saw an object coming down to earth, more like a comet or debris, really bright we all saw it, myself, and 2 nephews. I was speaking to them about solar warden, looking up, we clearly saw it the through its descent and we heard a hissling sound like when fireworks and going up. Huge ball of fire, tip was blue/white with a blue tail that followed.

Moore, TX
3 lights strobe at different times. 1, 2, 3 this took place for multiple sequences of strobes. Finally the lower light moved away from the other two which both continued to strobe for 3 more times and went out. The other light continued to strobe as it accelerated and slowed, and accelerated multiple times in a southern direction. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we suspect he has observed stars and planets in the southwest sky. He will consult with a local astronomer. Date above is approximate, although he states that the objects have been visible for several days in sequence. PD

Pflugerville, TX
BBQing and watching the UT Football game. While outside observed multiple fireballs traveling from South to North. Continued to watch and observed many of the same. Would have assumed a meteor shower, but a few of them broke trajectory and travelled East / West from initial path. Rough video on IPhone, not nearly as clear as watching live, but this certainly did not seem like a natural event. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Angleton, TX
In explanation, I am a former military aircraft mechanic. While I was headed for the Union Pacific Depot to pick up a Houston bound off duty train crew, I observed what appeared to be an aircraft moving slowly, showing two white flashing tip lights (which I thought odd) headed North, North, East, following the Union Pacific train tracks. While stopped at the light, headed South on the Loop 274 at Texas Hwy [29*09.533N and 095*26.005W] I lowered my driver’s side window. The light turned green and I progressed South on Loop 274. I could still see the flashing lights, hear the crossing bells ringing and multiple train engine noise, but hear no aircraft engine noise. I stopped at Loop 274 and W. Plum to turn {right} onto W. Plum, the train was moving on the tracks in a Northerly direction {it’s engine noise fading}, but there was still no aircraft engine noise, I lost sight of the observed aircraft in the surrounding trees. At W. Plum and S. Erskine I turned left and still lost in the surrounding trees. I again turned left at S. Erskine and W. Munson as I stopped at the yield sign I looked up toward the Union Pacific Radio tower {roughly 110ft tall} and still did not see aircraft flashing lights nor hear aircraft engine noise. I crossed S. Hancock St. turned to the right, into the yard. I stopped then I backed to the right into my parking spot, shut of the vehicle engine. Out of the vehicle, as I collected my work gear, I again looked up at the tower [29*09.307N, 095*25.585W] and observed the two flashing white tip lights divide. Where there had been one silent single aircraft several hundred foot above the tower and railroad overpass there were two. I only saw the lights no shapes. One silent flashing light went to the North of the tower, the second silent flashing light went to the South of the tower. I ran to the Yard Office and asked the duty night manager to please step out onto the North East facing porch. I pointed to the two lights not far off, still slowly headed North, North, East now at least a city block apart and reported the odd sight following the train. I asked what might be so important that two silent aircraft with one bright flashing light each, would be following it. He stated it was a regular run with no particular importance. I needed to go further to pick up the crew. Near 20:56 crossing the railroad overpass the two flashing white lights were observable, still headed in a generally North direction along a parallel to the track.

Spring, TX
4 independent lights approx 20' in diam glowed in the clouds and circled irradicly but stayed in a circle diam of 1/4 mile radius moving at unbelievable speeds, silent and changing direction. Got tired of watching them went to bed with them still going. Wife saw them as said someone is shinning lights on the clouds with a bright light. So i went around the area to see who was doing it, found no one around but me. We have changed the time above. PD

San Antonio, TX
I live on the northside and at 8pm I notice that dark clouds and lightning began forming on the westside of town-my next destination. Weather radar reports not the slightest rain in town. Half an hour later as im traveling south, I spot 2 white lights, no other colors. One is circling the other. 20min later, the lowest one drops at terminal velocity. Fastest ive ever seen. The circling light remained but eventually faded away.

Cedar Park, TX
On August 25th I was outside looking at the stars in the clear spots between the clouds and also texting on my phone. After sending a text I looked up and saw what appeared to be an extremely bright satellite heading north that I had not noticed before; which was past the halfway point of its trajectory by the time I saw it, if it was traveling horizon to horizon. I watched it drift a few degrees in the sky and it started to get faint to a brightness of a regular satellite or a star and I thought it would continue to the horizon but it stopped. I watched this light stay in place for approximately 2 minutes until it was covered by a large group of passing clouds.

I was driving down 7th street toward ward road to locate the source of such large flashing cloud, but as I drove it moved away from me until finally disappearing, totally out of sight by the store on Beaumont street bit leaving behind a smoke trail in the sky. I told my husband to check to see if there was any fires in the area and there were none.

Mauriceville/Buna, TX
On the night of August 22, 2016, me and my brother were traveling home at about 1:30 to 2:00 in the morning. We were coming from a town called Mauriceville, heading home, when I knotice out the passenger side window, a white flashing light that was up right above the tree line. I brushed it off thinking it was a cellphone tower but when we got to the point on the road were we were parralel to the light it began to follow the car in the sense that we was traveling at about 75mph but the light was staying parallel to the car so it must have been flying over the trees at the same speed we were going. So at this point we were about half way between Mauriceville and Buna, so I told my brother to pull the car over to the side of the road and when he did to our surprise, the light had also stopped movingng. I decided to get out of the car so I could get a better view of it and when I got out I didnt hear any natural noises at all, No wind, No crickets, just The muffled! sound of The car engine. The light was still there, over the trees and it was still flashing just as bright as when I noticed it. So I got back in the car and we kept going and sure enough it continued to follow along side us for at least 10 miles at which point it completely stopped flashing all together and it wasn't there anymore. This last moment was right before you would get into Buna. I did not take my eyes off of it at nearly anytime it was there and have no idea what it was, why it was following beside us or what caused it to disapear! I'm not completely convinced it was something unatural but it was definetly a strange occurrence for me and my brother.

Kemp, TX
I noticed a flashing light about a month ago from my apartment window in east Texas. It moved side to side up and down very slightly and was constantly changing colors. On the second night after the first sighting it did not appear to me in the sky until 0:00 the same time as the first sighting. I am looking for someone who has also seen this. I have seen similar movement in UFO sightings in broken now Oklahoma. Defiantly not satellites. We aren't alone people. I just found this website and my mind is blown to how many people report here. Will update on any new sightings. Let me know if you have seen the same. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Amarillo, TX
I was sitting on my front porch, as I was home alone at the time. I look up from my cellphone at just the right time to see something very bright, but far away, and extremely fast. The object looked spherical and bright green in color. It looked very small considering how far into the sky it seemed to be. It had a white circle in the middle of the bigger green coloring. It took about three seconds for the craft to shoot all the way from the left, to the right side of the sky right in front of me. It was far, far too fast to be anything built by modern humans. It would be impossible, not to mention deadly, for a commercial aircraft or other human-developed device. I would really like to know what it is I saw. This is my first UFO encounter.

Heard commercial airliner above in night sky, upon looking at airplane suddenly a blue triangular object with 3 lighter blue circles at angles became visible at rear of airplane and shot across the night sky in an instant. I could only hear the airplane not the object going the complete opposite direction of plane.

Round Rock, TX
I and my 6 years old daughter were playing at the Brushy Creek in Round Rock. While I went back to my car to get water, my daughter saw a UFO slowly flying by above. She did not mention anything about it until next day. The next morning she told me about it. I don't know why she did not mention to me that time. May be she was so confused or something, you know how kids act sometimes. She said it was cone shape and color was metallic and 5 green lights on the side, and yellow light on bottom, and she could recognize windows (see picture). She drew a picture to me and it was a really clear image.

Houston, TX
First saw three white lights hovering about 50ft apart while driving down the road to a friend's apartment around 1 in the morning. We then find somewhere to pull over and realize the lights are moving slowly. Continue to observe until the lights eventually proceeded to accelerate away from each other while still maintaining the triangle shape until they were out of our field of vision.

College Station, TX
We were stopped at a light on an intersection, when both of us saw a green fireball shoot across the sky. At first we thought it was a meteor. However, when compared to visuals of meteors, the object was vastly different. Don't exactly know what it was, but that's what makes this a UFO.
