I submitted my original report on MUFON's website 11/14/2015. Case ID 7DH8IQ56. I tried to submit an update on the MUFON website yesterday and later found that the content of my update had been deleted and my original report had been altered. Since MUFON deleted my update, I will post it to NUFORC's website instead. I don't recall sending my initial report to NUFORC in 2015. But oddly, I found that someone had copied it to NUFORC's website. You may find it here: https://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/124/S124047.html When I first reported the event on the MUFON website on 11/14/2015, I did so anonymously at the public library, as I didn't want my location to be traceable to my home. Not long afterward, I made the mistake of signing into my account from my home to check for discussions about my report. I wanted to see if anyone had reported something similar around the same date and location. When I signed into my account from my home, my location was instantly traceable. I live out in the country on ~50 acres. It wasn't until after I signed into my MUFON account from home that, on several occasions, helicopters deliberately flew very low over my house and circled around my property. Shortly thereafter, I awoke one morning with an incredibly painful sore throat and a deep, inch long fissure in the left side of my soft palate. The fissure healed quickly. It was almost exactly one year later that I awoke again one morning with a very painful sore throat and another deep, inch long fissure in the left side of my soft palate. From the time I saw the anomaly until early last year there were very brief moments when a thought about these events would surface, but then quickly fade out. I couldn't hold the thought for more than a few seconds. It was as though a mental barrier prevented me from accessing my own thoughts. I would dissociate and would be stuck like that until some distraction snapped me out of it. This happened many times after I submitted the report. It was not until early last year that I began to feel the mental barrier begin to weaken. Finally I can speak about it. I have no doubt that if I had never signed into my MUFON account from home, the things that happened afterward would never have occurred. Human beings are responsible for what happened on my property and to me. I have no idea what they did to me. The reason I'm writing this update is as a warning. Never submit a sighting report to MUFON from your own computer. Never sign into your MUFON account from your home. Don't submit a report from a computer belonging anyone you know. Always submit a report using a brand new email address you created on a public computer using false demographics. Never use your real name or home address. Please be careful, because there is no way of knowing what kind of agencies are really monitoring MUFON reports. They already know who and where I am, so it is too late for me. If you value your safety and your privacy, please be careful, or just don't report sightings to MUFON at all.

One night this past month, my boyfriend and I were driving out to my parents' house. As we drove down the road we always drive down, we could see a plane right above us. Literally we were driving underneath this thing that looked like a plane (from the bottom). We were able to look up at it as we passed it, it just hovered there. That's when we figured it's a UFO. No plane on earth can hover that low to the ground. A few months before, about 6, I witnessed what I also believe to be a UFO. Late night driving once again to my parents, I caught eye to a white light above our neighbors house. In all honesty it looked like an enormous round light. I couldn't see any edges or outline of a craft. It was just pure light. By the time I realized what I was seeing, I turned around to drive back and get another look it was gone. I haven't seen any light since, so I now confirm it truly a UFO sighting. Hope y'all enjoy my experiences. It's nice having someone to talk to. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

At approximately 7.58 pm on November 8 I witnessed an orb like light above the tree line in my backyard. It traveled at a very high rate of speed. I also witnessed an orb type light going in the opposite direction a couple of nights ago but it was much brighter and was traveling in the opposite direction also at a high rate of speed. There was no noise associated with either.

On the beach of Padre Island National Seashore at exactly Mile marker 20.5 from entrance I observed a white circular craft flying due south along the beach front over the gulf of mexico at a very high altitude and approximately 1 mile away from shore. It was traveling at a very high speed for 15 secs then exited atmosphere by going straight up and out of sight

Electra, TX
The ship was traveling from north/west towards south/east. It seemed to be about 5 miles out at cloud level. I say cloud level because it would enter a cloud bank and I could still see the flame reflect off the near by clouds. It would exit a bank of clouds move into a clear area. I stopped to watch it. I took pictures with my phone, but, they were not clear. The video I took shows a small dot not a clear object. My first thought was that it was a nuclear missile. Reason I say that, I lived in Orlando, Florida, for 20 years. I saw many Canaveral rocket launches from Kennedy from Orlando. The movement of ! the object was steady, not wobbly as in those old Flash Gordon movies. I read about the launching in Los Angeles and wondered if they traveled that far.

They appeared to be bright lights low in the sky and began to form different formations! They seemed teardrop shaped and then would look light a trail of bright light coming from one end that turned the objects directing them into another formation. This appeared to us how they could move and change from a ring of 6 bright objects into a formation of 3 on top of 3, and then 2 on top of 4! It caught our eye and we thought it might be several planes coming very close on same path until they continued to change positions. We were traveling north on Hwy 45 just outside of Conroe, TX, on our way to Huntsville, TX.

Wimberley, TX
Unidentified Flying Object Sighting Date: November 1st, 2015 Location: Wimberley Texas Time: Approximately 11:00pm CST Duration of sighting: 3-5 minutes Distance: Less than 1 mile away Size: Approximately 100 feet in diameter On the night of November 1st, 2015, around 11:00pm CST, I left the house to go get a pack of cigarettes. My road, Wayside Dr., when heading into town goes straight down to River Rd. which follows directly along the banks of the Blanco River. Turning right out of the driveway theres a hill that you go up as soon as you start going down the road. When I reached the crest of that hill I first saw a light through the trees, that was also obstructed by hills partially as well. Now since literally the day before, our area was hit once again by severe flooding, especially the Blanco River and its estuaries, for the second time within the past 6 months. The first flood being the epic Memorial Day flood that was the absolute worst we have on record, causing millions of dollars in damage as well as several deaths. So since we just experienced another severe flood the day before and there were people still missing, I just thought at that moment first seeing light down by the river it was probably just another helicopter flying over the area. Driving a little over a mile down my road I finally got to see my first unobstructed view of the object, at the beginning of a short straight away less than a mile away from the river. Realizing immediately this was not a helicopter or any sort of aircraft I am accustomed to seeing. It was moving slowly from right to left, pulsating light from bright white to a dim yellowish/orange color and appeared to be flying directly over the Blanco River. So I then promptly grab my cell phone and begin snapping pictures of the object after stopping in the middle of the road, realizing I only had a few seconds before it was going to move behind more trees and would be obstructed again once it moved farther to the left of the clearing I had at that moment. Once it was obstructed, I continued down the road to try and quickly get to the river so I could possibly get closer, better and more defined pictures of the craft. Once I got to the bend in the road at the end of the straight away where I took the first two pictures, I had the opportunity to capture two more clear/unobstructed pictures of the object. Then I sped down to the river as quickly and as safely as I could, the whole time I had limited visual contact with it through the trees but could absolutely still see it moving and pulsing the whole time. Nearing the end of my road where it intersects with River Rd. there are several quick “S” shaped curves right before you get to the intersection, it was at that point through the trees I could see it was in fact flying right over the river. The craft was approximately the size of a small house but in an oval/funnel shape, illuminated as well and flying approximately 200 feet above the rivers surface. There are cliffs on the opposite side of the river from where River Rd. runs that are around 100-150 feet tall and this craft was only about 50 feet above those cliffs. Then before I could even get to turn down River Rd., which I would have had to turn left to go toward it; the craft flashed extremely bright, shook in place rapidly (like a trembling motion) and shot off unbelievably fast going up in altitude as well as heading Southeast, in the same direction the river flows. Once it shot off it was totally out of sight with in a second, gone, no sound or any sign of it in ! the distant sky. Unfortunately I was unable to get anymore pictures of the craft before it took off once I got down to the river. Which I regret not just taking video of it while driving even if it was obstructed by trees, because you still would’ve been able to see its rapid departure through the trees as well as the flash and trembling it did before shooting off. But the deer in this area make night driving very hazardous and having had several encounters with them on the roads at night here, 2 of them ending in impact right on my road alone and driving our new car (we just bought literally a week before), I was absolutely not going to video tape and drive at the same time. The whole time I was driving down to river from my road, I was hoping and looking for someone else to be on the road. Thinking someone else could be seeing the same thing. But that made it even more strange because even after the craft took off from its slow cruise over the river, I did not see a single car on any of the roads on the way to the only 24hr convenience store in town. The whole trip I only passed one car on the way home and that was on the main road that runs through town, Ranch Road 12. Also since the river had flooded the day before, I’m pretty sure most of the houses on the river were totally unoccupied, either because of flood damage or because they evacuated. So theres a very good chance that there wasn’t anyone who saw it from their river home simply because no one was there. Even though if they were, they’d have a front row view of it from any window in the house that faced the river on either side. Also, my girlfriend works at a coffee shop in dow! ntown Wimberley so she kept an ear out for anyone talking about anything out of the ordinary, but never heard anything. Neither did I hear anything from anyone about seeing anything. Lastly I wanted to describe the landscape of the area of the sighting a little more. From where I took the pictures of the craft you can tell the altitude it was flying was very low. If it were daytime you would be able to see that it was below and in front of the hills that crop up less than a mile or so across the river. So there was no way it was something in the sky farther away simply because it would’ve been completely obstructed by the hills. I hope this report is helpful and informative, as well as a good group of usable photos. Thank you for your service, ((name deleted))

Shooting star like appearance except moving upwards through clouds, slowed down and looked almost like a little ball of light then disappeared after producing a sphere of energy. I cannot comprehend what I saw other than the fact it travel through a portal of some type. Sphere left some type of specks of lights when it closed. Sounds sci-fi but it's exactly what I saw.

I drive 18 wheelers and was traveling us 80 just outside of Dallas. I saw what I thought was a fighter jet run in front of my truck but had no lights or sound and was traveling from the north east heading to the south west and an extremely fast speed. I lost sight if it and tried finding it in my passenger side mirror, I regained sight of it in my driver side mirror and saw the craft heading back towards my truck in which looked like it was following the highway at the speed it was going prior to this maneuver it would of been impossible and at this time I knew it was not a fighter jet. It quickly gained on my truck and was now directly to the left of me in an open field. I was traveling at approx 65 mph and the craft was to the left just ahead of me. I now noticed it had three lights and was triangular in shape and appeared to be black in color. It was approx 200-300 feet off the ground and unknown length since there was nothing to judge the size against. It followed for approx 15 to 20 seconds, and then while I'm still following beside it, it shot directly up and was gone from view. I got the strong feeling while I was watching it and after it was gone that I was not supposed to see it. There was another truck ahead of me, and I they had to see it as well

Dallas, TX
On October 28, 2015, between 8 and 9-pm CDT, it was dark and I was returning from a 45-minute walk. I went through the Lake Highlands Baptist Church parking lot, at the intersection of Northcliff Drive and Parkhurst Drive. This Church is about 1-mile northeast of White Rock Lake in northeast Dallas, Texas. Directly to my southwest, about 20-degrees above the horizon, were about twelve orange lights, forming about six distinct pairs. The lights were each uniformly as bright as a full Venus, but were pure orange in color. No FAA aircraft navigation colors were visible, specifically white, red and green. The lights appeared to be over the Fair Park area, at about 5,000-feet in altitude and 5-miles distance. The span inside each pair was comparable to a 737, from wingtip to wingtip. Each two lights appeared to be mated, but I could not see any solid object between the lights. None of the pairs seemed attached with a different pair, as they slowly moved around independently. Each pair was separate of the other pairs and they appeared to be at various staggered distances. I only saw a flat-on view of these things from their northeast side, and do not know the other side. Another witness 71975 saw the lights from another angle and could give triangulation. A jetliner was directly behind the lights to the southwest at about 10,000-feet altitude and 10-miles away. This aircraft apparently left D-FW Airport and was traveling in a southeast direction behind the lights. The night was clear and the lights were steady for 5-minutes, so they were not natural phenomena. They were much too large, bright, high and stable to be Chinese lanterns. These were illegally hovering near a Love Field flight path, five miles south of the runway, for five minutes without proper navigation colors; therefore, they were not man-made objects. These orange lights should have been easily seen by Love Field aircraft and traffic control and recorded. The pairs each slowly faded out one by one after about five minutes.

Went outside at 10:26 at night and looked over neighbors house and saw a bright orange light that was moving quickly across the sky. Only lasted about 45 seconds, as it started to flicker about 3 times, then vanished. It was so bright that it caught the corner of my eye. Shape of "fireball", heading south over the National Seashore. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I saw 4/5 flashes of bright neon colors like orange, pink, yellow, and green. It was very close to the ground, but in the gray night. I couldn't take a picture and it lasted for about 7 seconds. It had no sound. Afterwards, it became very dark and I couldn't see anything. Then, 4/5 birds flew away and it kept raining a bit harder. Also, during this time we had a power outage. Soon after, the power came back on. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Me and my Dad were out driving at highway 290 about 30 miles from Austin, Texas. As we were driving, we saw a oval shaped object about the size of a van. It looked like it was made from steel and made no movement. It seemed to be reflecting light from the moon. We watched it for about 2 minutes, then drove off in shock. I then after looked for a UFO reporting website. We spoke with one of the witnesses, and he sounded to us to be serious, and sober-minded. We suspect that the party is a reliable witness. PD
October 18, 2015 · 2:00 AM · DISK
Groveton, TX
It was a classic style UFO like a disk with a larger part in the canter. It was orange and white light that appeared to be moving or rotating. It didn't move location in the sky the classic UFO remained stationary it just appeared that it was spinning or the light was changing orange and white making it appear to spin, but once again it was stationary in the sky. Then all in the same moment the UFO disappeared and the blue dots that I assumed where stars in the location made a giant circle in the sky. The inside of the circle that the blue dots made was a visably darker black then the rest of the sky. Then all at once the circle collapsed in on itself like it hit warp drive. Before the circle collapsed or disappeared or shot off it took up a large portion of the sky. The circle formed by the blue dots after the classic orange UFO disappeared was much larger than the classic orange UFO. The only way I can explain it is it looked like a classic UFO opened a huge hole in the night sky then disappeared through it all in a maybe 5-10 second time frame. The classic orange UFO was hovering in the sky for maybe five minutes before the circle formed around the dark black hole in the night sky. It was me and one other friend standing in my yard. No more than 30 seconds after it was all over as many as five human planes that appeared to be military aircraft were in the sky in the area this event just happened. Hey had regular plane lights but where moving fast. Faster than I've seen regular airlines move and a lot of them in this area of the sky. I commented to my friend how impressive I thought our military planes' response times where. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry it was 2015, and I have 2 witnesses but only one is willing to talk about it. The date is also not exactly correct also as I didn't know there was a way to report it. I can set you up with the one witness willing to speak on the event. When the blue lights formed the circle it went from a small UFO to a large thing very large. Odds are someone else saw it also I'll ask the other witness his email address I only have his Facebook, but it happened. We joke about it saying remember that time we saw the giant ufo lol. I'll get back to you with his email ASAP. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Hutto, TX
At approximately 3:30 in the afternoon, on October 10, I was sitting on our third-floor balcony, facing South, in Round Rock, Texas. I looked to the left (East) and saw what must have been an enormous black rectangle moving slowly over Hutto, Texas, approximately 8 miles away. I immediately grabbed a pair of binoculars and confirmed that it was very large, and rectangular in shape. It was moving slowly North, much like a blimp would move, but it was too big to be a blimp (given how far away it was), and it was not rounded on the ends like a blimp, but squared on all four corners. I then called my brother out to the balcony (we are both retired teachers in our fifties). He came out and agreed that it was unlike anything he’d ever seen, that it was far away (again, about eight miles), black, rectangular in shape, and huge. We watched it for about a minute as it slowly moved to the north, and then out of sight behind the wall of our apartment building. It was a clear day, with no clouds in the sky. The object moved smoothly, and slowly. There were no lights on the object, or any other features that we could see. We could hear no sound associated with it. I am emailing a photo with an Illustrator-created rendering of the object. This is the view from our balcony, looking east toward Hutto, Texas. The water tower indicated in the photo is about 8 miles away.

It was about 3:30 at night me and my g.f. went to her car to smoke... we open the sun roof she looks up and says, "What ((deleted)) is that! I look up, I seen it too. It looked like it was so far up but it was still big for being how far it was. The shape was triangular with rounded off corners, almost like a boomerang. It glided through the night on a strait line only seeing the shadow of it cause it was so dark.
