Long Description of Sighting Report: My dogs were going crazy barking at back door, so I went outside, and that's when I noticed what I thought a very bright star. It started to move closer and then away and then turned red and then back to bright. I was also hearing a very strange sound, between a hum and maybe wind. (I have never heard this sound before) I first grabbed my IPAD to start recording; it was not even close to what I was witnessing, so I ran inside and got my digital camera and started recording so I could the best view of this very odd object. This object looked like a red disc spinning at times to a white dot. After 2 min of recording; I stopped; to be honest because it scared me. About 10 min Later it went slowly north from its location. (As I look back on videos, a red light follows what ever direction it went).

Big Spring, TX
At 18:02 I observed what I at first thought was a red and silver mylar helium balloon reflecting in the sun as it was tracking roughly southwest to northeast and quickly rising above a residential neighborhood in Big Spring, Texas. It alternately flashed candy apple red and silver. I thought the object had primary oval shape as well as much less pronounced rhomboid features between the color changes--maybe like a metallic pin cushion whose sides briefly deformed into smooth planes. I checked my weather app at 18:03 after I had lost sight of the object, and it indicated winds were 5 mph from the southwest. The total view time was about thirty seconds before the object seemed to disappear into very faint wispy clouds or haze. It is difficult to describe the flight path from my point of view because at first it was moving almost parallel to the ground for a few blocks but then, perhaps as it began to pick up speed, it quickly gained altitude while following a s! traight line. I believe latex helium balloons I am familiar with from childhood would gain altitude along a parabolic path if observed from my vantage. My guess is the trajectory of the object I saw would be an absolutely straight shot less than 20 degrees above the horizon. If the object I saw was three blocks away as it appeared to be, it was at least twice as large as a stop sign or perhaps half as long as a smaller car. I am entering this report in case others outside of my area happen to see something similar this evening.

Fort Worth, TX
On May 12, 2015, at approximately 12:00 a.m., I went out on my 3rd floor apartment balcony located in Fort Worth, Texas. The night was overcast and through the clouds, I noticed a light move across the sky and assumed it was an airplane. After a few minutes, I noticed the same light. As I continued to observe it, I noticed it was moving in a circular pattern – clockwise – over the same area. It was one white light beam that was not clearly visible until it moved out of the clouds. Using my compass, I noted the lights were coming from 326 degrees NW. I watched the lights for over 40 minutes before returning inside. The beam continued the same circular pattern and moved at the same speed.

Went to get trash can outside of home. Saw pulsating lights w/ blue and red stop, then move from north, heading south. Assumed ghetto bird, but no sound. Second object followed behind minutes later. Felt like they could see me. Weird.

Galveston, TX
Saturday night looking to the West from beach house located at Terramar Beach I with two friends witnessed 3 large slow moving hot pink/red orbs in a following formation over West Bay. The orbs had an intense color of hot pink/red and appeared a little smaller than a BB held at arms length. Orbs were three fingers above the horizon, quite low when first seen with the middle orb higher than the front and following orb. Orbs moved from west to east along the bay then turned over the bay toward the mainland. Leading orb did not appear after it's view was blocked by a house. Higher orbs continued across West Bay and faded out. 5 min in view. 10 minutes a second formation appeared just like the first but now 4 orbs were in a right to left very low trailing formation. The lower orbs were blocked by a house others turned and faded out. Viewed thru 10x23 mm binoculars, orbs were ALL LIGHT and SOLID in tight focus. 3 photo's taken.

Houston, TX
st saw my first ufo. It was so fast. There is heavy cloud coverage and contrails are heavy here in Houston. I am downtown. I am.. just Shocked. It was just like a quarter second of lights through the clouds. 2 guys in front of me saw it too. Compass pointing south. About 45 degrees from horizon line. Saw it around 945pm central. Located at east down warehouse in downtown Houston d. I honestly thought it was a plane at first. We have lots of air traffic here, but it was too big and the lights were different. It could have just been the right time right place for a cloud to open up to the meteor that skid across only a small patch of clouds It was fast. It felt close, like in a low cloud. It was so fast. The lights seemed out of this world. They are a blur in my memory now, but they were amazing from what I remember

Oval shaped, blinking lights. A blinking white light going around the craft. And a blue light,orange light, and a purple light under the craft. There was exactly one craft. The craft was going in a ziz zag pattern then curved quicker than any thing the US has. Then went straight up then came back down real quick. Then came closer and then went far away then came back closer. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was staying at valley motel room 24 on the end, went out side to smoke a cigarette so a blinking light floating towards the road got phone camera, started first video on on side of Jacksboro high to film the one when I noticed as it went across the street there were a lot more, one man walking across street, asked him what those were, he said satellites and he didn't know and walked off, filmed the on it stayed hovered above street light, half way there 12 min video I got a chance to run across street film other half. I only filmed there that long because I was being yelled at by manager asking what I was doing, I said you don't see them. Poor old man couldn't. He made me go in. I tried to upload video but it was to big by mobile so I went back out and saw took small couple second video and 3 stills. the manager said the police were called because I was in the street, I went in side. It was about 20 mins before the police came and the video is not the best! I was worried I was going to jail and looked over the officers there were 2 shoulders and saw one, and said look see it. and they did. the put in report I was looking at night sky. They left and I watched in the door for about 10 more mins manager made me go back in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmRJi7faBQk

Midland, TX
My wife and daughter saw a strange bright light in the NW sky over my house and were looking at it through binoculars, they came in the house and got me to look at it and I definitely saw a very bright light in the sky at about a 40 degree angle in the northwest night sky. At first I thought it might be the International Space Station which we have seen before but after looking at it through binoculars I could tell it was definitely not. I looked at it through my binoculars and it seemed to be a very bright cluster of lights in a the shape of a sphere but it was only halfway illuminated by what seemed to be anywhere from 30 to 50 very bright individual lights. As I watched the object through the binoculars it started changing shapes and colors. It would vary in size and shape from a half illuminated sphere to what seemed to me to look like a lobster claw to a hand to back to a half sphere to a full sphere black with only exactly half illuminated. The colors a! round it changed from white only to some green around the edges and then some red around the edges. While we were viewing it I called the Midland Police department to report it and they gave me the phone number of the National Weather Service here in Midland located at our airport. I took about 20 pictures of the object on my smartphone and my daughter took some pictures of it on her smartphone also. After looking at the pictures, they don't really show the shape as we saw it but there are definitely some strange images almost looking like a nebula or a blurred shape with different colors of light. There was a local professional baseball game going on at the stadium due west of my house and at the end of the game there was some fireworks set off but the object was almost like it was northwest of us and the game and the illuminated part of the sphere was on the opposite side facing the game. This object was definitely not part of the fireworks show, my daughter and I saw the! object higher and further northwest of the game and fireworks! show. M y neighbor across the alley was in his back yard along with his wife and I called them over to look at what we were looking at and they saw the light too and both of them looked through my binoculars and witnessed the object and it changing shapes and colors. We watched it for about an hour and it kept getting a little lower on the horizon but it was not really moving with the stars, it was really not seemed to be moving at all, just getting lower and lower until it finally disappeared beyond what we could see above the tree line from the balcony of my second story balcony. We could see the big dipper in the night sky next to it to the south but this object did not move with it and it appeared to be much closer than any star, it seemed to be in our atmosphere. My binoculars are not that great but it was very clear to all of us. I am going to contact our local TV stations tomorrow morning even though it Sunday morning now and see if there was anyone else who witnessed this ob! ject also. My pictures are very interesting but limited to the quality of my phone camera which I had on full zoom. Still there was something there and we all saw it. Just wanted to report this to some site tonight and googled your site and this is the only place I have reported this too online. I'm not looking to get in or on the news just wanted to see if anyone else saw this object tonight. In my opinion this was definitely not man made. I am not a pilot but have flown all of my life in our own family planes and commercially and know enough to know what I am looking at in the sky and night sky. I can send images of the object if you would like them, I will try to send the images from my phone to the link below but they are kind of blurry and my phone will only let me send like two at a time. I will save the images on my phone and if you would like to see more then contact me and I will be glad to send all of them to as long as your company or entity won't try to commercially try to sell or reproduce them without my permission.

I saw an UFO while I was watching a live stream from the ISS (International Space Station) from the following website: http://www.n2yo.com/space-station On April 11, 2015 at 5:55 PM (central time in the U.S), I saw an ufo on the above live stream. Immediately, I took 2 screen shots of it. It looked like a worm shaped object or like the digit 2. It was white in color and appeared to have colored spots/lights on it. The vent duration can't be specified as the ISS live stream changes camera views often. Hence, I just saw it probably for just 1 minute. I'm attaching 2 images in an email (one taken in 360p video stream and another one taken in the 720p video stream) which I'll be sending you after I submit this online report. Object looks to us to be a piece of lint. Probably not an alien spacecraft. PD

Frisco, TX
At 10:56 pm on April 10, 2015, my friend and I observed something in the sky like we have never seen before. We were pulling into his alley way to his house which sits in front of a huge greenbelt with a park. We both saw a very bright light in the sky (almost fire-like) N 33 degrees 7’4.336’ W -96 degrees 51’24.972. There was nothing to obstruct our view. As we continued to monitor this large light in the sky that was not moving for the past 5 minutes or so, we proceeded to take a 23 second video and pictures. We then put the car in park and decided to get out and try and see what was going on. At that time, the light finally started moving in the Southeast direction and then vanished.

El Paso, TX
5 May, 2015. On 6 April, 2015, (Monday) at approximately 20:15 hrs, in El Paso, Texas, while sitting on my porch, I observed approximately 5 bright yellow/orange bright spheres of light (orbs) moving in access of 2,500 mph across the sky. The brightly colored orbs did not glow and were approximately the four miles to the southwest of my location, over a suburban neighborhood, and four to five miles south of the El Paso International Airport at approximately 2,000 feet above the ground. The orbs were about the size of a Volkswagen beetle and were flying horizontal to the horizon in formation. As I was sitting down at the time of the observation looking towards the SW; the orbs appeared from behind a tree on my left and in approximately 2 seconds disappeared behind a tree on right and were moving from the SE to the NW. I did not see or hear any aircraft flying in the vicinity of the orb sighting for at least another 15 minutes. I have been in the aviation arena for over 46 years, I was an Army helicopter pilot for 29 years and have over 6,300 hour of flight time of which over 2,000 hours were during night time. I am an Instructor Pilot, Maintenance Test Pilot, Safety Officer/Accident Investigator, and currently a Military Airfield Manager. In all my years of flying I have never experienced an orb sighting or head of any other aviation personnel discuss orbs. I remember viably the orbs of light that I saw on 6 April. The five bright lights were flying in a straight line formation. The four lights that were following the lead light were slightly accelerating and decelerating to maintain their relative position in the formation of lights.

Haslet, TX
I was on my way home at night and noticed about 8 orange lights in the sky, 7 of which were in an arrow formation, and a single light behind the arrow formation. They were softly glowing and appeared to be all slowly moving to the right, and then one by one they started to slowly fall and fade away until there was one left, just falling. I tried to keep watching the last one fall, but it fell out of my view. It appeared to be getting pretty close to the ground, though. Right as I was about to turn into my neighborhood, just moments after the last orange glowing light was out of sight, I saw an orange burst of light out in the distance, maybe a couple of miles away. I'm not sure if the burst of light was connected with the UFO, but it could have been. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Marfa, TX
We were at the Marfa Lights viewing platform between Alpine and Marfa TX on April 3, 2015 at about 9:30 pm. Not having any luck with seeing the "famous" Marfa Lights, we were about to go back to our hotel in Alpine. One member of our group then turning back north to walk to the car noticed something flying from North to South just to the East of us. The were no stars out as it was cloudy, windy and cold. As the craft got even with us, we noticed it had three white lights that formed a perfect equallateral triangle. These white lights never blinked. Directly in the middle of the three white lights was a red blinking light. It blinked about once a second. The craft proceeded south below the cloud deck. After about 5 minutes it turned right to the West and began to speed up. It then finally turned back North where it appeared to disappear into the clouds. There was absolutely NO sound produced by the aircraft as it flew over. I have a IPhone app that tracks commercial flights and none were in our area. The other odd thing about the craft is that it seemed to move in a very straight line (ie no movements due to wind) except for when it turned and made no sounds. I live in the landing path of a major international airport and see planes land both day and night all the time. I have never seen anything like what we saw this night.

Kingwood, TX
There were at first 3, yellow/deep orange bright lights, too close together and too small to be airplanes, and they were moving slightly north and more west. They at first looked small enough to just be a nearby planet or for some reason large star, but then I realized they were moving and were definitely neither of those. As I watched the first three, somewhat fireball-like lights move across the sky, a fourth peeked up behind the tree line in front of me and was following the other 3 (who happened to be in a group somewhat like a triangle shape). Eventually a fifth light came from the treeline, still following the other 4. They all remained in the air, seemingly high in the atmosphere, until they either turned a different way and we could not see the light or they dimmed out, it was hard to tell. But soon after seeing the fifth one, two of the first 3 began to quickly dim and distinguish. There was no sound, only light.

Whitehouse, TX
I have always been a star watcher. In February I was sitting on my parents front porch and noticed some strange lights. At first I thought that is a plane, but it didn't move. Then I noticed another, same thing, then a third. Then I noticed that they were in a giant triangle. The reason I noticed them was because they were flashing between yellow and red. They don't look like a star. Then I started looking and there were two of these formations int he front yard and two in the back yard. After several weeks, I pointed them out to my Mother. When the sky was not cloudy I would go out and they are always there in the night sky. March 30th, I was visitng my sister in Chandler, Texas, and went out in the back yard to look at the sky........they were there. The 2nd night I awoke suddenly at 2:30 a.m. I went outside and looked up and they were still there... but there were also chem trails in the sky.

Angleton, TX
On March 30th, at roughly about 10:00pm. As I was in route to my house, in the small town of Angleton, TX, just south of Houston. I took the turn on North ridge headed west, when in the sky panning into view as if surveying, I see a small UFO come into view. It would have been coming from the south headed north. I immediately thought omg they have drones monitoring us in Angleton? The UFO definitely had a green light and seemed to be centered in the middle of the little craft. I could totally see this was a flying object flying approximately 3040 feet above tree level. There were definitely what appeared to be white head lights for surveillance or to see in general. There were also other colored lights, I definitely recall seeing red on either side of the craft. Although, I couldn't make out the material of the UFO, I can say the craft did not have wings like a plane. The UFO came in and slowed down, I thought it was coming towards or watching me. I could see it HOVERING back and forth as I sped down Lorraine Street towards it. I then turned down the radio and rolled down the windows as it begins to rock back and forth then continues on north bound. Very, very low flying and NO sound that I could hear. There is no doubt it was not a plane and definitely not commercial, might it have been a drone? It was small about 1020 ft in diameter at the biggest, I believe it seemed small light weight because the way it hovered. I got a really good idea of how it turned and maneuvered. Of course, this was the first and only night I can remember being without my phone! Almost as if the spacecraft knew I couldn’t film it! I proceed to see more and if it wasn't a threat. However, it didn't let me get to close before zipping away. The craft seemed to me to be surveying, or doing surveillance in the neighborhood perhaps looking for something? Or only letting me getting a juicy view! I saw the object for about 20 seconds, so I definitely got a good feel of the crafts intentions: Seemingly non violent but it had orders and it was doing it’s job. The craft seemed to have a mission looking, finding, searching, surveying or just watching and monitoring us in general.

Paris, TX
9:57PM in western sky, just above the roofline of 1 story apt building across parking lot; but it appeared to be far away, seen from a distance; duration seconds, then gone. cloudy skies; partial moon on my left now and then light dulled by cloud movement but this was in front of me as I looked to the west; my sister was with me and I asked her what that was. At about the same time she looked in that direction it simply blinked out or just disappeared. I watched the skies for a bit, in case it had merely moved but did not see it again. We are on an elevated area east of downtown Paris; it was too far away to gauge a size. It would have fit into a circle of my closed-into-an-o fingers.
