Big Spring, TX
I was walking my dog, trying to take pictures of him, when he started growling and barking. Startled, I start looking around I then noticed a purple haze in an oval form in the sky. I was able to take a picture but before I could video it was gone. This morning I get on Facebook and see a post asking if anyone had seen it, and I posted my picture. I was then directed to this page.

Houston, TX
On Monday, May 17, 2016, around 4:30am in Houston, Texas, I was headed home, traveling westbound on Airport Blvd. between Cullen Blvd and Scott St. It was raining lightly at the time. To my left there was a narrow strip of tree lined pasture where cattle graze. Rising above the trees was a oval shaped green orb that was about 10-15 ft. wide. At the bottom of the orb was a small red light. The orb was moving back and forth over the trees. Since I was the only one traveling on that stretch of the road, I dropped my speed to about 5mph. I also rolled down my driver side window to get a better look. I noted that there was no sound and no blinking lights coming from the orb, which made me realize that it was not a helicopter and definitely not an airplane. I traveled down to the road to a break in the median and made a u-turn heading back towards the ufo. That’s when it started flying off to the east, increased in speed and disappeared.

Kingsville, TX
It was about 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, 2016, in Kingsville, Texas. A storm clouds had just passed Kingsville...there was no rain but still enough sunlight. I looked up at the sky and noticed a bright light almost like a bright star! I wondered how could I see a star when the sky was completely covered with dark clouds! I looked around and also noticed another bright star around 1/2 mile from the first one. I asked myself if it was a drone or what could these two shining objects be? Where they under the clouds or above...it either case, the objects were like stars blinking on and off and not moving. After 5 minutes, I contacted the Kingsville Police Department to send an officer to see what I was seeing. The department was too busy to send someone. I kept looing at both stars and noticed that one star had completely disappeared. I kept looking at the other one left for about five minutes. It was not moving. I noticed that lighting was traveling from cloud to cloud on the west side, but I kept staring at the only star left. All of a sudden, the star turned bright "red" and traveled to the direction of the lighting. It moved so fast (without me hearing any sound) as a spacecraft as seem on television. These two objects were not from earth, in my opinion. These stars to me were attracted to the lighting and one of them headed in the direction of the lighting. I telephoned the Kingsville Naval Air Station this morning and spoke about what I saw. That individual said that is was only an electrical event and nothing else. I do not buy this theory! I am very skeptical about life beyond earth, but after seeing what I saw… I believe that there is life beyond earth! I am religious and spoke with some religious leaders about what I saw. They informed me that it was a sign from God to me to ask Him what He wanted from me? That what I see was only meant for me to see and no one else! I do believe in God, but cannot accept from these religious leaders what they told me. Since Tuesday, May 17, 20! 16, I will always believe that there are "beings" from space that are watching our earth. What I have said is the truth and I will not recant what I have just said!

I called the FAA but they didn't know anything. Interesting though, the live DFW tower radar showed no aircraft in this area during that time.

Cedar Park, TX
I was driving down the road a blue gleam catches my eye. When I look up I see a blue arrow like shape gliding across the sky. Not fast and not slow just gliding at a controlled level speed. It was going to the direction I was driving and disappeared into the clouds. The object almost looked like something out of that avatar movie. It was blue with an almost ocean like pattern some parts a more lit up glowing blue the others just a even blue gleam there was no glowing around it. The weather was clear. A little cloudy but nothing to mess with my sight. It was around 80 degrees. There was no blinking lights. It was not a flight craft a man would make. It almost looked like a living organism you'd see under a microscope. I never witnessed anything so clear in my life. I could see every detail. I highly suggest some investigation as I will be looking up at the skies too now and will report if I see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Plano, TX
REPORT DATE: 06-27-16 EVENT DATE AND TIME: APX FIRST WEEK IN MAY OF 2016 SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1 P.M. – 4 P.M. EVENT LOCATION: PLANO, TX I was watching the roof crew put on a new roof on a 2 story house. It was an absolute clear bright blue day. From the field of view, approximately 2 – 3” above the house view in the clear blue sky was a bright white star, so bright it was shaped like a cross. Then it went up, turned into a silver ball with a flat bottom, then vanished.

I was going back inside when I noticed a bright object floating slowly across the sky, my first thought was that its a nice big bright falling asteroid but when I completely focused on it I saw that it continued to glide slowly across the sky moving like a feather horizontal to the left I called my 2 friends from inside to come out and look for themselves I then moved closer to my front yard to follow the object with my eyes my 2 friends and my self witnessed the object. I have 20/20 vision so to me this object looked perfectly round and I saw bright orange and red flames surrounding this perfect circle I kept talking out loud narrating to my friends how this was definitely no ordinary ufo sighting so this is why I say it took at least 4 min. Unfortunately I didn't want to go inside and get my camera I was enjoying the ufo hands on very selfish like. So now that time had past the object began to dim out and started to come down it reminded me of a hot air balloon the flames we're extinguishing and the perfect circle kept coming down vertically now at a slow pace after it was almost invisible and still falling down a second fireball appeared in the sky from where the same direction in the sky as when I saw the first one, this second object also reminded me of a hot air ballon motion only this one floated across the sky horizontally to the left but with great speed very quickly it flew to the same location the stopped above when it reached the same location as the fist object as if it was trying to catch up to it but instead of extinguishing it flew itself straight up into the sky perfectly straight up and up and up until puff just like that we couldn't see it or anything else after that. So what happened to the first one? Did it land??

Jarrell, TX
On the night of 4/26/16 a storm was rolling in. I went to go shut my upstairs window when I saw a string of lights in the sky. I thought it was air craft lineing up to land at Austin Airport. Then a flash of lighting went off and the ufo's glowed brighter and ever time they went off they began to pulse in the sky. There was nine in a row. The first one in line and bigger than all the other drow strait toward the ground and was up very fast. This was around 2300hrs and went on several hours. They were hovering over the city of round rock and flying at fast pace up down and changing position in line. I sat there until they faded away in all at once.

Austin, TX
It is 4:28 AM as I type this right now. At approximately 2:45 A.M. I decided to go for a late night walk on a nature trail near Walnut Creek in Nortwest Austin. I stepped outside my front door and noticed an acrid smell, which I would describe as being like burning copper wires. I could smell it for several yards until I got near to the trail, where the only thing I could smell was soggy Juniper and Live Oak bark. While heading back home after a walk up the trail, I noticed something in my peripheral vision in tne sky, at 3:32 AM. I looked at it for 5-8 seconds. It was a very long, thin, and dimly-lit dark object with roughly 7 distinctly spherical lights on it. I watched it fly across the sky and out of view (trees obscured my vision). It appeared to be dropping lower as it zipped across the sky. I have no training in how to discern the size and distance of objects that are far away, but my intuition tells me it was roughly 1200 feet in the air, nearly a half mile away, and maybe 400 feet long. I must emphasize that this object was very dimly lit and that it would have been very difficult to see it the sky wasn't cloudless, and the moon as bright as it is tonight. It was a very bright night. The lights on this object were like weak LED lights. The object was moving from South to North at around 300-400mph over Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park and headed toward 1-35. I was located near the St David's Medical Center building on the railroad tracks. I am 100% certain this was not a plane because it made no noise at all. The moment I saw the object I got an ominous sensation and the hair on my head and body stood up. After I lost sight of it I immediately ran out of the trail and on to Park Bend Dr, and sprinted home. I would describe this object as being more like a drinking straw than a cigar.

New Braunfels, TX
My wife and I saw what we first thought was a plane over us, but then realized it was not have a flashing light and was now bright white, but red orange color, we first thought it was a flare, but it did not move like one. It moved from our left to our right pretty fast, no sound and disappeared. I took a video and when I tried to play back, it did not work. My wife and I were looking at it as I was recording, she was even telling me to zoom in. After it disappeared we looked at each other and tried playing it back, but nothing, like it never recorded. Early during the evening around 10ish we saw what seemed like a disco ball in the sky with flashing colors. It bounced around a little and then slowly moved out of site. Wow a night for us to remember.

Circular Craft. Red lights flashing. Moved at the same speed as an airplane. About 6 or 7 lights on it. On the outside only. None on the inside of the craft. Looked like a wheel.

On April 21, around 9:30pm, a flying object Shape like a Rock that has all those beautiful colors when you break it in half. It was northeast of San Antonio. Tx At first I thought the reason it looked like that was because the moon was behind it. My screen couldn't capture it well. UFO Sighting: http://youtu.be/p18le9P0t-gi ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I was looking northeast . it lasted a while the beautiful colors kept me from being afraid like God showing fiesta colors. ((END ADDENDUM)) We have attempted to look at the video, but unsuccessfully. We have requested of the witness that she unblock the video. PD

Leander-Jarrell, TX
At exactly 12:55AM, Wednesday, 04/20/16, I was watching TV, curtains closed, lights on, when I saw a bright sky flash that lit the whole interior of the house, red. I thought it was odd. There were thunderstorms, but the nearest activity was 200 miles away. I heard nothing, felt nothing. This morning I was speaking with a coworker buddy, and it came up. He said he was sitting on his patio at that exact time, just before going to bed, and saw the sky light up bright white. He lives 30 miles from me. He got up and looked to see that it appeared to come from one direction, all the street lights and cell towers went out, and the sky glowed an odd reddish orange glow for 15-20 seconds, then faded away. 5 minutes later, he had a system failure involving equipment we work on for a living. I have posted it on Facebook, and got a couple of responses stating that there were power outages, fire dept calls, etc at that same time. No craft was seen. I am simply posting thi! s in hopes others may have seen something. I live on I-35 in far Northern Williamson County, and my coworker lives in Leander, far Western Williamson County, 30 miles apart. Hope someone else saw this or more. Thanks.

Lake Kiowa, TX
Watching 10pm news when a commercial came on and decided to take my Dog outside when I came out I noticed my neighbors outside also - it was very dark and no clouds - I noticed something coming towards my house at about 75-100 feet in the air at the same time I heard my neighbor say in a loud voice "what in hell is that?" A box that was orange and transparent (looked like a box kite) rectangular and glowing going at a slow speed about 30 mph passed almost directly overhead and kept going in a North direction there was no noise and you could see right thru it there was nothing inside - size was about 15 feet long and maybe 5 feet wide there was no motor no heat signature it just looked like a orange box kite traveling thru the air. I don't think it was a drone - also it was lit up in a bright glow but you could not see any lights on it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband said he saw on in his office window flashing. Then I saw a flashing red light like a helicopter above in sky. It was around 9:54 pm central time. Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star? PD

El Paso, TX
Located in far Northeast El Paso, near Railroad Dr and Farah Dr, while star gazing, two solid white lights appeared overhead out of nowhere and moved in a straight line formation, one behind the other, to the northeast for just a short distance for about 5 minutes and disappeared. It was a clear night with no clouds. It was a calm, windless night and there was no detectable sound from the lights passing overhead. There were no associated blinking or colored lights as on an aircraft. The lights were brighter and more focused than stars, and were flying at an altitude far lower than high planes yet higher than any low planes. The lights moved straight ahead with no side to side movement, and traveled too fast to be a high altitude plane or a satellite, but slower than a low altitude plane. The lights were in a straight line formation too far apart to be just a single plane. Although no associated shape was detected, it seemed as if the lights were positioned with one at the front and one at the back. What was so startling and attention-getting was that the direction of travel was entirely not in keeping with the normal flight paths of either ELP or Biggs Army Airfield, nor of the high altitude commercial flight paths crossing El Paso. The witness is a nightly observer of the constellations and the local commercial and Army flight paths across Northeast El Paso.

Then stopped and flame went out and went up and disappeared. We have amended the time above, in order that the report reflects a nighttime sighting, which we assume is the case. Witness elected to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

Navasota, TX
My friend and I were driving south on 90 headed into Navasota. I was driving and my friend was a passenger. I saw them first. Just before I past the navasota livestock auctionhouse, I noticed a flash in the sky. It was quick. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but then I saw one again in a different area. I asked my friend if he saw them and he said no. After a few seconds though, I was able to get him to see what I was seeing. It was a small white light. It was as if someone from up high in a mountain was signaling down with a mirror, but there was nothing but bright blue clear sky behind it. The light would last less than 10 seconds and disappear, then reappear in another spot in the same general area. They never reappeared in the same spot twice. Sometimes, I felt like I could kinda start to make out something physical attached to the light, but as soon as my eyes would adjust to what I was looking at, It would blink off again. It was too! far away for me to make out any details other than the light. At first I thought they were airplanes but there were so many so close together, I was convinced that the faa would never let that happen. Then I though it could have been radio towers, but then I noticed a radio tower underneath them and could clearly see that they were easily 5-10x higher than the towers below. There were no red or green indicator lights that aircraft should have. After my friend and I exhausted all conceivable possibilities of what it could be, we decided to pull into annie's gas station and get a video. From annies we could get a better view of them. I could tell from that location that it seemed like they were originating from south over the Prarieview/Hempstead area. I was able to catch at least 10+ of these flashes on viedo. I shot a total of 3 videos from 2 phones. All 3 videos you can see the phenomena. 2 videos are shot simultaneously with each other so as to offer so evidence of authenticity. 2 of the videos are shot in 4k, and the other one is shot in 1080.

Arlington, TX
I work between Arlington, Texas, and Euless, Texas @ Collins street or TX157. For the past month I've noticed an oval shape craft fly in the same direction (south) and slowly shoot up into the sky and disappear. I've have noticed that it usually appears flying somewhat erratically and bright. It's as bright a the planet Jupiter. I can actually see it go up into the upper atmosphere and disappear. It's cool.

On this day, at first one object caught my eye. That shined and hovered in place for about a 5 mins. Then it moves the opposite direction and fade away and a few minutes latter two show in formation and hovered also above this another object much higher was a very large air craft which it held it position. and accented ((sic. Ascended??)) higher till no longer to see but the two turned to three. Then headed south for about two miles then west for 20 mins. and headed up and disappeared. I know that these were not airliners or bombers. cause the shape and also other aircrafts flying for east to west.. and his objects were heading in a different direction. very bizarre.

I called for my husband to see if he could tell what that was. When he came out he look at the sky and said it’s a helicopter, but then I notice the flight patter change a little it, I told him are you sure? He took another look and said I am not sure. We watch these light for what seemed like hours, then it disappeared. I went to look it up later and all I found was a still photo taken in January of 2016 that shows 3 lights, but this one in March there was only one.
