Shortly after our 11:30 a.m. appointment began in our backyard which has a 180° unobstructed view from the southeast to the northwest, I noticed the object and asked" what is that in the sky?". The three of us were standing on the new patio the contractor had poured the entire length of the back of our house whose front faces South. I wondered aloud if it were another Chinese spy balloon since we all knew one had traversed most of the US before being destroyed off the east coast in the spring. As we watched the object move SSE the Contractor said it was too fast & too steady for a balloon. He also said the wind was coming out of the wrong direction for a balloon too move that way & that wind driven balloons are not that steady or straight as the whitish, squashed football object that continued across the sky. When it passed behind there was West Wall of the house, the Contractor & I hurried it to the front of the house by walking south on the patio past the garage. The Mason pointed to the object coming up to due South at the same altitude, speed & path. We could not tell how far away from our vantage point or how large the craft was. It continued on the same silent path until it passed out of sight to the SSE. It traversed more than 180 degrees of the sky in under a minute. I wasn't going to report it until I saw the same object in a different state Monday morning, July 24 in Colorado. I will make a separate report for that sighting.

I was just looking at the video I took also. This thing is weird. You can see it in waaaay better on my phone. I didn't notice until today that it actuall turned and as flat. Please don't disregard this. I have pictures of an object that started out as a white octagon shape and then changed its shape. I cannot describe it where it makes since. I took pictures on both days. June 6, 2023 and June 9, 2023 at night. There were no stars in the sky and that’s what initially got my attention. The octagon shape changed to a roundish shape and then there was a white hue around it and then a colorful hue. I have showed people and they think they see a face but I do not. There is a definite triangle shape. Anyway, I just need someone to look at the pictures and give me their opinion. This really happened. I'm sending more pictures in an additional email. Atmospheric effects can cause a bright evening star like Venus to exhibit the characteristics described. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Willis, TX
We were traveling west on the road leading into our neighborhood. We were about to cross the bridge over the lake when I looked up and saw ominous clouds forming a thunderstorm and approaching rapidly. I looked up toward the sky and saw an egg-shaped craft, approximately 60 to 70 feet long, traveling at what I estimated 300 mph and 300 feet elevation. A soft silvery-white cloud surrounded the object, which appeared opaque as though you could see through it. It left a cloud trail that whisked away quickly. It was traveling from due north to due south and disappeared rapidly. I saw it very clearly and very precisely.

Looking SSW loading a plane. A small Lear Jet was passing over heading S towards Meacham Airport about 5k feet. Just above about 7 to 10k feet, a triangle shaped craft emerged from a cloud then disappeared. Sun glinting off 3 tips. Not red, green or white lights. Sun shine glimmering.

Bright light noticeable with the naked eye. It was visible for about 20 minutes. Light first seen at 8:49pm. Multiple videos and photos up until 9:04pm. During the time of watching phones started acting weird on 2 separate cell phones for a brief minute.

Star like lights moving at similar speeds appeared in a cloudless sky amongst other starlight, moved west to east and disappeared amongst other starlight, with my outstretched arm, the lights are as far apart from each other as my hand was wide, so this does not seem to match the star link satellites. We have seen them before, and again since. Only 9 or 10 lights are visible at once, and over about 8 minutes we think we saw close to 30 lights. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Driving by myself from beechwood drive in the same neighborhood made a right driving down longleaf drive as I saw the lights thinking it could be from the cell tower close in the video as I got closer I realized it was not from it . Then assumed it was from a airplane but also airplanes are In the distant behind flying so could not be. Weather was very calm that night no rain no clouds . The objects moved upwards and then I followed to get closer to longleaf and was quiet . As I got closer to record more the objects aligned itself as some disappeared and 4 of them aligned evenly side by side at the same time a house with a dog in the back I was around was barking crazy . I then decided to drive to the road I believe it was on to see if there where houses or apartments it could of been humans I assumed . Then once I drove to the sight I realized there was nothing but a grass field above where the sighting was in the distant.

I sit on my balcony every night. This night I am staring at a star and I see movement to the left of the sky. I look at it, and it continues to shoot past my line of vision. I track it with my eyes, it’s going fast and it looks like it’s not trying to be seen but failing to do so in this short time. The craft looked like an almost flat rectangle, it may have had some type of circular lights at the bottom I’m not 100% sure if these were specifically “lights”. It rocks weirdly and then disappears as I am still looking at it. It was as if it was trying to blend in the entire time, but I ended up seeing it anyway! I really wish it would’ve stayed longer so I could have gotten some evidence, I literally had my phone in my hand listening to music. It’s all I can think about these days and I need to tell someone and not sound crazy, so I hope this information helps with something, anything. I just need to tell someone.

Objects appear nightly. They sometimes appear as small clouds that move very quickly. There is also a long straight light that moves very quickly and changes direction very quickly. There are no current objects that can change direction this quickly. [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Possible]

I clearly saw a black hollow triangle shaped jet or space craft with 3 red lights at each point moving very slowly maybe doing a survey.. the object had no middle to it or it was invisible through the middle. I could clearly see the sky and clouds straight through it, but right above was a triangle with 3 lights at each point slowly moving through the sky it disappeared into the clouds I suppose it went higher but I waited 20 minutes waiting for it and couldn't see it anymore for sure.

It happened on the night of 4/30 which is my b-day and why I remember so well also I texted of my youngest son (and it's still on my phone) when we got to our destination at the next major intersection. So ... I turned south onto N. Riverside Dr. from Timberland BLVD and I saw a bright light in the sky and remarked to my son, "oh that sucks, look a helicopter" because the light was across the street from the Texas Health Harris Methodist hospital, we see them come and go. He saw looked up mumbled some sort of agreement. As we got closer I noticed it was in the same spot which was weird, they usually go directly onto the landing spot, and I've never seen two (that's not to say two helicopters can't/don't fly into the hospital, anyhoo...) so I kept watching it the best I could driving 40 miles per hour with other cars around. When we reached the intersection, I kept saying, "something's not right, that's so weird". We weren't moving as we waited for the light. It was just in the one spot. The light didn't move or waver. And it was not a measly light. It is what I would expect to see and have seen on a helicopter. We could tell something was there, but the light was pointed in our direction, so we couldn't make out a specific shape. When we crossed over to the other side of Golden Triangle (still traveling on N. Riverside Dr.), we were looking at it and we realized it was an airplane with the cockpit facing toward us. it looked like a typical passenger airplane--but not quite full-size. It was low enough, I could see the pilot's window, but am not sure that I could see the pilot specifically. It did not move, as a matter of fact it did not make any noise, but the light was as bright as you would expect to see on the front of a plane. The tires were not down. We could see the left wing and the tail, but I could not see the other side wing. There were no distinct markings on it--we are close to where UPS, FedEx etc fly in so I am familiar with their logos. There is a billboard around the corner from it, and I would say it couldn't have been much higher than the billboard. We could see the dimensions to it, the rounded underside, etc.--it was not flat, like the billboard. My son and I kept looking, me the best as I could while not hitting anyone around me. No one slowed down. No one was pulled over. Be we could see this plane just "there". There was nothing in front, behind or on either side, we could see the ground under it. It was just before a patch of trees. Once we got 20-30 feet past the trees, we could not see it anymore, I assumed because of the trees, but my son who could turn around said it was just gone. There was nothing in my mirrors. We kept on to our destination which took us about 30 min and then we came back the same way and there was nothing. Nothing in the air. Nothing on the ground. No people standing or anything. So strange. I drive by there on some of my regular routes and in daylight, I see nothing. My husband said maybe it was a blimp or balloon. Blimps still make noise, and we didn't have the radio on and heard absolutely nothing. Had it not been for the light that I was looking at from Timberland BLVD to Golden Triangle, I would not have thought a single thing about it. I probably wouldn't have noticed it at all. Or if it been in a slightly different spot, I would have gone on thinking it was a helicopter. Sound-wise, it was just flat if that makes sense. I didn't feel anything odd other than slightly confused-excitement at whatever that was. Looking at the questions below, again, I can't say for sure that I saw into the pilots' window, but I feel like I saw a shape that was kind of olive khaki--like a shirt, not necessarily skin color, but who knows. The plane itself was light blue or silver on the top half, the wind was a slightly darker blue. The light was so bright is caused a slight haze/glow, like how a light pole hazes the items around. Oddly there were no birds that I noticed and there are usually birds everywhere--however, I may have just missed it because of my focus on the "thing".

Nevada, TX
Bluish-white sphère about 2’ in diameter travelling 200 degree bearing. Moving at high rate of speed, approx 700-1000 ft. Winds were out of the north at ~10 knots. Only able to see it for a few seconds, lost it in the sun.. First thought was a helium balloon but moving way to fast for it to be a balloon.

Sitting outside looking east I see a small line of 3-4 orbs very dull that looked to be connected by a faint line. They were moving slower than a meteor but much faster than any satellite I’ve seen. The ufo moved from east to north and seemed to cross through the Big Dipper. They were quite large and dull orbs much larger than anything else in the sky. I was able to track it with my eyes. I looked to see if any Star link passed above after reading your page, but I couldn’t find any reason to believe that was them. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]
