Friendswood, TX
This was seen last Saturday at 10:06 pm. At first I thought these were missiles or some type of military aircraft. Many people all over the world have witnessed these strange lights. I've never seen this in my life. These lights looked like circular fire balls and don't resemble anything military grade as they made no noise and seemed to fly fairly low but not close enough to visibly see what the object was. Nor do I believe they are Chinese lanterns or any type of home crafted object. I know the video is a little hard to see but you can definitely see the strange pattern of these orange lights, it's almost as if they were following each other. There were about 10-12 of these objects. I would really like to find out what so many people all over the world have witnessed daily in so many different states and countries. Below is two videos one of which I'm trying to zoom in on the object. The other is 47 seconds long and shows multiple of these glowing objects in the sky. Please pardon some of the language myself and my friends and some other people at the restaurant were spooked.

Freeport (Treasure Island ), TX
Through binoculars my husband and I saw a sphere in southern sky from our beach house on San Luis Pass. It was blinking red, green and amber lights. The green and red looked to be revolving around the top and bottom of the sheer. This object was very far away and seemed to be out over the Gulf of Mexico about 25 or 30 degrees above the horizon. It remained in the same spot in the sky for several hours. Finally it was so late that we went inside. We often look at stars from our deck, but have never seen anything nor reported anything like this before.

Big Spring, TX
While recording some black hawk helicopters over my house with my iPhone in slow motion after reviewing the video I saw a object move quickly much faster than the helicopters from the bottom right to the left when this was in slow motion I did not see anything at the time when I was recording this only after reviewing it. We suspect a bird or insect. Wingbeats are visible. PD

Houston, TX
During a walk around 11:40 pm I noticed a green light flashing in the sky. I stopped to stare at the light and it appeared to be hovering in place. The light then began to move to the left slightly still hovering. The flashing of the light was at a constant rate similar to the flashing light of an aircraft at night. The light began to move to the left again and the light disappeared. The light then appeared again and the it hovered for a few seconds until the light started to descend rapidly. After this the light was out of sight.

Pflugerville, TX
As the stop light turned green, I tried to keep my eye on it but driving became difficult and I was too late to work to pull over to watch it. I was thinking and hoping it was someone playing with a drone, but I cannot be sure. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

October 2, 2015 · 4:36 AM · LIGHT
Austin, TX
I was traveling southbound on Mopac (aka Tx Loop 1), about to exit for HWY 360 Capitol of Texas. It was 4:36 am when my 1999 Brown Chevy Astro abruptly turned off. I attempted to turn the key but had zero power. That's when a large light, partially obscured by light clouds, appeared and remained motionless. I stepped out of my vehicle and took a picture with my smartphone. I attempted to access the video recorder, but the light increased its intensity and grew to 4 or 5 times the size of a full moon, before rapidly vanishing. This light created no sound, no heat, and no wind. It did not pulse, flash, or change colors. It merely appeared, grew larger and brighter, and then disappeared. I remained outside of my vehicle for 3 or 4 more minutes, but the light did not reappear. I got back in my car and it started. I have no damage to the car, or any other devices that were with me at the time. We spoke via telephone with the witness on two occasions, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, rational, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good, and reliable, witness. PD

Perryville, TX
I'm not one that has ever believed in E.T. butttttttt for the past year I have been seeing bright moving lights in the shape of a cone move around the sky but I blew it off didn't think much of it. but presently here the past 3 full months every night I have been able to see these bright objects hover fly blink red but shine really bright. I'm starting to worry now cause about 100 feet from my house I saw 6 bright lights rise from a field and slowly bind in with the Stars and then play hopscotch then there gone. I didn't catch that on video but I have a recording of the first one I seen witch was on 10/1/15. there all around my house and I'm starting to really worry.I would be extremely thankful if someone could help resolve what I and my boyfriend have been seeing.

Garland, TX
I live in Garland, TX, a Northeastern suburb of Dallas County. I was sitting in my patio, facing North. I sit out there and enjoy a cigar a couple of times a month. It was approximately 8:00 P.M. and I had just taken a puff of my smoke and tilted my head back to exhale. As I did, I saw what I thought was a "shooting star", going North. I have seen meteors/shooting stars on many occasions and thought no different. I could distinctly make out "flames" on this and thought I had a great view of a meteorite streaking across the evening sky. The "flames" diminished and I could see something that looked like a star, moving across the sky. From my vantage point it looked like a star, except that it was moving. I then saw another "star" coming from the other direction, heading South. This object was perhaps a little brighter than the North-bound "shooting star". The two star-looking objects came together and slowly faded out. I do not believe they were stars. I called The National UFO Reporting Center immediately. End of Report.

Dimmit, TX
I saw something that looked like a star, but it got brighter and as it moved from the north at about a 85° angle from my location to the south where my location was i thought it was a commit. It got closer so i realized that it was a circle. The circle turned neon bright orange and looking in the centre of the circle you could see through it the background of the sky. I looked down, because i was busy with something, but then looked up again and saw it changed color from orange to neon pink/purple, at this time it was almost right above my head. I continued with my work and looked up once again and it was snow white. It moved to the east and faded away as if it was going back from where it came from. Looking at this object it did not seem to move, but everytime i looked up i could tell that it did change it's previous possistion. It did not move fast. It was hard to judge the distance, but it was about the same hight as planes usually fly when you see the whi! te line it leaves,but barely see the plane. I believe you would have been able to fit 2-3 passenger planes in this circle. It was alot bigger than a star and smaller than the moon.The lights it made was not reflection as the sun was setting, but a bright light like a giant neon light. It had no sound, because it was far away.the exact location was about 5 miles south of dimmit texas. Please give comeback on this experience i had. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Old Town Katy, TX
Me and my girlfriend we're driving back from picking me up from work, we we're heading from katy hockley into Old Town Katy, when we spotted a bright flash fall to the ground about a mile away. It was a bright orb, I've seen meteors in the sky, this thing got brighter as it was close to the ground, it was falling at such a fast rate it was like half a second, but it was bright. We are both freaked out now. It was an incredible sighting..

The object formed into a circle like shape with a bright orange, reddish color around it with a black hole formed in the middle of it. Then it flew north toward downtown Fort Worth, Texas. My wife and I watched the object until the naked eye couldn’t see it anymore.

Dallas, TX
I work at a business right next to a major airport in Dallas the airplanes come in constantly right over where I work and land so I'm always watching them so while watching I noticed what appeared to be a jet aircraft except it was extremely fuzzy and without color it was flying over the airport where I thought would be a no fly zone it was traveling pretty fast but the thing that got my attention was it was flying backwards it made no sound it had no lights

Round Rock, TX
The fire was coming from behind the object. Object itself was dark grey. I saw no lights on the craft. No sound. I watched it for a few seconds. After which it completely disappered. No smoke trail. No anything. Was a clear night and since i had a side view i would have seen it turn. There was no wings on it or any kind of logo. Am i the only one who saw it...it was so fast.

Irving, TX
Okay, I was with 4 other people and we went to get pick up one of people from work and i noticed on the way to picking him up.. there was 3 dots in the sky lined up not straight liked up but just about.. And it wasn't moving at all. Then we were driving home and i looked up and they were still there and i didnt tell any of my friends about it. so we pulled up to our apartments and i brung attention to it and then we all went to the back of the apartment. for we can get a better view of it. And all 3 dots were still there. It wasn't a star. Neither was it a plane, cause planes do not stand in mid air floating. So we were watching it and it was weird after we starting to acknowledge that they are there. One starting going up slowly and it starting taking off towards the left and it had a red light. Again not airplane. So it started taking off to the left pretty fast and we couldn't tell the shape of the object it was dark but it had bright lights around the object with a flashing red light. Okay then there was the other two they were and the same place and after the first one took off the second started to go up with a not so bright light then it got bright and did the same thing as the first one. and right after that second was about to go up there was a bother light that appeared out of no where it wasn't as bright but then it got bright. And it was in between of the other two lights. and they each took off one by one. with the same speed and flashing lights.

Corpus Christi, TX
I was sitting on the porch looking at the sky listening to the chirping frogs and rain dripping off of the roof. Then I hear a plane and it flies over our house extremely low to the ground. I look at the plane for a while and it flies off and then turns to the right and goes away. Then I see what at first I think is a herd of birds all together but there isn't any space between them and they are in a triangular shape with one edge pointing down and flat at the top but it seems to turn and so I think it is maybe a large eagle. It is dark and hazy so it is hard to see so I get up and start walking closer and it seems to be a shiny gray or silvery black color and starts to look like a disk. I am now in the street getting my socks all wet running to try to get a better look as the house across the street's trees are blocking and when I get around both houses in the street, it is gone and I don't see it anymore. I was guessing it could be a drone but it seemed much too big to be a drone and just seemed like some sort of craft possibly surveying the area. Another possibility is a cloud but it was much more defined, seemed too small to be a cloud, and there weren't any other low clouds (this thing was probably half the distance off the ground that the low plane was). No one else was outside in our neighborhood and I thought about running inside to tell my mom and brother to come out but it happened too fast.

It flew in a straight line heading west then turned southwards. There was no sound coming from the craft whatsoever. There was 3 lights in a triangle shape that did not flicker or blink. We stopped to look at it, and it was completely gone.
