Nacogdoches, TX
My girlfriend told me to come outside and look at two "weird looking" stars she had never noticed. I saw two white lights that appeared to be normal stars in the northeast sky. The lights slowly began to move apart and then over a period of about 30 seconds completely faded away. They were very bright white and slowly dimmed to white-ish blue. They were not blinking or flickering. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was with some friends hanging out in my truck just parked, we were talking about what we did that day when I heard a huge "BANG" noise. At the same time that I heard the noise I saw a huge blue light in the shape of a circle. It was as if it were an explosion, starting from the center, it expanded outwards and then back to the center. All the lights in the street had turned off including my dashboard on the truck. That's when I knew something was wrong. I was in so much shock, I asked my friends if they saw it. It was four of us and only one other had seen it along with me. That's when I knew it wasn't a joke and what I saw was real. It was far up in the sky which is why I know it had something to do with UFO's and wasn't anything caused by humans.

Riverside, TX
I live in a rural area around Riverside, Texas. The sky is very spacious here. It was on a clear night on November the 15 at 9:30 p.m. I was taking my dog out for a potty walk. I noticed how beautiful and clear the sky was. When I noticed some aircraft that I have never seen before flying low in the sky. They were bright orange lighting, not flashing, much larger than an airplane. They resembled the size of a space station that I have seen when it passes over. They were traveling from east to west across the sky. About the speed of an airplane. I could not hear a noise coming from them. There was an airplane in the sky at the same time which I could identify and hear at the same time the other aircraft were out. It was traveling from south to north. The other aircraft all traveled about the same distance apart comeing from the same direction. I counted about seven when I first noticed them. There could have been more. I went in the house and notified my daughter and she came out and witnessed them also. Then we counted about 17 but there were probably more that we didn’t set our eyes on.

On the night of November 15th 2014, there were low clouds and I estimate the ceiling to be approximately 400 ft. I was sitting in my Spa in my back yard, when I noticed a redish yellow light flying low and slow. It appeared to be pulsing or rotating. It looked more like a flame than a navigation light. Then I noticed two more that appeared to be flying in formation with the first. Because of the cloud cover, I could not make out the aircraft that were displaying the lights, but my first thought was that it was a formation of Helicopters. As they approached, however, I was struck by the lack of any noise. As the lights were directly overhead, they extinguished. The lights had been flying SE to NW, but about 30 seconds after they went out, I saw a large, black, triangular object flying (or floating) very slowly moving in a Northerly direction. It appeared to be about the size of a C-17 at about 400 ft in altitude, but was of a triangular shape. It was in complete view below the clouds, and I could see the shape perfectly. My first impression was that it was a Stealth Fighter, but after a couple of seconds, I realized that the trailing edge was perfectly smooth, unlike the jagged edge of a Stealth Aircraft. Add the very slow movement and the complete silence, and I realized that this was like nothing that I have ever seen. I watched the object as it flew over my house, and it appeared to be dropping something like a parachute. At that time, I saw 2 more lights appear from the SE, and they extinguished at about the same point as the others had. I then saw 2 more of the Black, Triangular objects on the same flight path as the first one. I lost sight of them as they flew over my house. From the time that I saw the first lights to the time that I saw the third object fly over my house, was about 4 to 5 minutes in duration. Witness has been known to our Center for over 15 years. He is an aviation specialist, with many decades of experience in that field, and is an exceptionally credible witness, we believe. PD

About 2 weeks ago, I have noticed what we call an ufo… it was around 2:30am, I was just getting out of my car when I heard a weird sound, like a “swish”, I felt a light breeze on my face… I looked up and I saw, hovering above my building, a flying object… it wasn’t round, rather a polygon… octagon or decagon… the angles were very clear! It was rotating around its axis, very slowly, and there was a diffuse light coming from underneath it… a very bright blue colored light. It stopped right above me for some seconds, then continued its flight, at a very low speed. I did not see where it came from, but it left towards east… Source indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Dallas, TX
On this night of November 14th, facing a little southeast, at approx. 7:31 pm, while driving with a sibling, we saw an unidentified flying object. It was rectangle in shape and was black. It had 5 lights on the front resembling that of high beams, but were blinking like hazard lights but in an alternating fashion. There were 2 red lights on the outside and 3 white lights in the middle. The white lights were the main lights blinking, almost like search lights. The object flew in an upright position so that when it flew over me I could see its underside which was rectangle shaped as well. The more extraordinary part about this sighting is that I could also hear the object. It made a light whooshing sound that was softer than that of a plane and kept the same tone. It was a calming sound like that of ocean waves and I live nowhere near a large body of water capable of producing such a sound. It also was lower than any plane I've ever seen before. The object came rig! ht out of the clouds in front of me as I was driving on a residential road near my home. Seeing the object prompted me to pull over and get out of my car to witness this immaculate event. The object literally flew right over me allowing to give such specific details. After this experience was over I got back in my car and pulled off. As I got on a nearby highway I was able to see the object once again as it faded off into the clouds once more and was at a higher position in the sky than before when it was right over me. This was one of the most shocking events I've seen. To actually experience what I've only heard people speculate about and document encounters about is beyond any word I could use to describe. Truly freaky and bewildering. I hardly know what to think.

Observed low flying craft with no or dim lights - at first glance looked like a hangglider - in shape and distance from ground. Made no noise, moved slowly, Hard to spot against night sky. Dark gray. Was pointed south, went inside, came back and located it still headed south, but in a different position. Unsure if this was second object or same object had moved. Came back out approx. 3 minutes later and could not locate a 3rd time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Houston, TX
I live on a suburb on the northwest side of Houston known as the Bear Creek area. I was doing a little cleanup up in my back yard at about 7:30PM this evening and a bright orange light caught my attention as it was approaching from the west in a direction that I usually observe airlines as they pass overhead to land at Houston Intercontinental Airport. It began to curve to the north and a second orange light appeared paralleling it a little further to the west. These were no ordinary craft. They were much brighter that the landing lights that we often see on aircraft. They were solid without any blinking or pulsing normally associated with known aircraft. They were a color orange that was almost as intense as looking at a welding arc with almost the same sort of sharpness. Very orange. The first thing I thought of was all the reports of the orange fireballs that many people have been sighting lately. These were definitely self directed. Piloted! They were moving about as fast as a normal aircraft. I would estimate that they were at about 3 to 4 thousand feet in altitude. They appeared to be roughly 500 ft apart. They continued to head in a northwesterly direction at about the same altitude paralleling each other when another one came into view trailing behind the more westerly one at roughly the same distance. They were in a rough 90 degree pattern all moving in the same direction. All of this transpired within approximately 30 seconds. At this time I rushed to call my wife and 18 year old son to see this. They came out quickly to observe what I was seeing and at that time another light appeared further back and more to the west. At maybe 800 ft. further back. As we observed all 4 lights they continued to move in a northern direction and began to fade out one by one. They remained the same brightness till within the last 15 seconds or so when they began to fade and then totally disappear. All of this transpired within about 3 minutes before they were totally gone. They all appeared to remain at about the same altitude and speed the entire time. There was no sound heard by any of us. I attempted to bring out a camera to photograph them, however they were to far away to capture them by the time I was able to retrieve one. I am 58 years old. My father was in the Air Force for 18 years of my life and I have lived on and around many Air Force bases in the U. S. and in Europe. I am very familiar with many different aircraft and the required lighting that they display. These were not at all “normal” aircraft. I can also state that my wife, my son and myself have all seen other unexplained craft in the sky at various times in the past, with some that were defiantly not terrestrial. These were some of the most unusual we have ever seen.

IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION THE TIME IS IFFY...IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 11:00PM ON THE 3RD TO 3:00AM ON THE 4TH I WAS TAKING SOME TRASH OUT TO THE TRASH CAN, WE LIVE NEAR AIRPORT, HEARD A JET FLY OVER, I LOOKED UP SAW THIS YELLOWISH SQUARE OBJECT FLYING ACROSS THE SKY. AS I WAS WATCHING IT, I NOTICE I COULD NOT HEAR THE JET ANYMORE. SO I WONDERED WHAT THIS OBJECT WAS. IF I HELD MY HAND OUT AT ARM'S LENGTH AND HAD MY INDEX FINGER AND THUMB ABOUT AN 1/4 INCH APART. THAT IS HOW BIG THE OBJECT LOOKED. I FIGURED I JUST SAW THE SPACE STATION JUST FLY OVER(?). WHAT EVER IT WAS IT MADE NO NOISE, AND HAD TO BE VERY BIG (IT WAS VERY HIGH IN THE SKY). IT CAME OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AND TRAVELED TO THE SOUTH EAST (WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A SPACE STATION FLY OVER.) WE LIVE IN THE WOODS, TALL TREES SO THE OBJECT WAS NOT IN VIEW FOR VERY LONG (1 MIN - LESS) SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL REPORTS OF PEOPLE SEEING A AMBER OBJECT, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST LOG THE EVENT.

I was wondering that morning if it would rain and kept looking at the sky to see if I spotted rain clouds but the sky was clear and I managed to see an aircraft in the distance coming from an east direction. All of a sudden right above to my right and almost in front of the road at a height which I calculated visually to be between 15,000 feet or maybe less a combination of lights traveling in unison appeared. The lights appeared to be part of a structured or craft that had some sort of magnetic field that appeared to make half of it invisible to the eye or was blending with the sky and the rear part of it was visible and the lights were white bright, green, blue, celeste and other effects that I would say are not made by no known human technology. I would have to admit this was a shocking as well as a life changing event as I have been secretly a skeptic with this type of phenomenon. The lights from this craft were absolutely beautiful and something I have never seen in my life. It took me a moment to register what I had witnessed and I had dangerously lost focused of the road I was driving on and calculate I slowed my vehicle from 65 mph to about 30 to 35 mph in a 70 mph road. Afraid I would cause a traffic accident, I gradually brought the vehicle to an appropriate speed and looked to my right to see if the object or craft would reappear again, but it was gone, and I decided to continue my journey home from work. I work the overnight shift at a correctional institution as a correctional officer and I was glad as I thought about this incident that it did not happen during Halloween night or the hours of 12 midnight and 5 am with no sun about to appear it would have been a terrifying experience.

About 20 minutes before daylight on Opening Day of the 2014 Deer Season here in Northeast Texas. it was dark, no wind, no clouds, no moon, just star light & I'm straining to see my feeder through my binoculars when all of a sudden the entire area lit up like someone turned on flood lights. I quickly raised my eyes over my binoculars and could see the light was all around the tree I'm in too and its 80 yards from my deer feeder. My immediate reaction was getting mad thinking someone must be driving up spot lighting ruining my hunt, but there was no noise plus the way the shadows were falling I realized the light was coming from above me. That’s when I quickly look up and saw the 3 bright white lights moving West to East, and thought Wow! 3 shooting stars! EXCEPT that can't be either; they’re way too close and not moving fast. I watched the lights drifting, cruising, in a triangular formation over the woods for a few seconds and then they started banking a turn to the South East moving away from me. For a few seconds I could see a dim amber glowing ring of light surrounding the 3 bright white lights and then it just disappeared; like someone turned off all the lights at once. After it disappeared, I kept looking into the dark star lit sky hoping to see its silhouette as it moved on, but saw nothing... Just stars and none of them were moving. I never saw a profile of an aircraft, but when it turned the configuration of lights appeared to be aligned on the bottom of something round maneuvering like an aircraft banking a turn less than 100 yards from me. This all happened within a span of about 10 to 15 seconds, and I could hear my dog start barking in the distance at this same time, but no other sounds. I don't know what it was, but it happened & I saw it from my tree stand at a time & setting when I was wide awake with my senses tuned-in to every sound & movement in the woods. Opening day of the 2014 deer season is one I'll never forget. Please see other report from Texas for the same time and date. PD

I really do not know any better way to describe what my friends and I saw that night. It was a chevron shaped craft, looked to be about 50+ meters in size, had no lights on it nor did it make any sound. It was just a bit lighter than the night time sky. While having no lights, it appeared to have a faint glow moving about the craft as it flew over the city at a fairly quick speed. The glow from inside was a blueish color. The easiest way to describe the glow is to imagine the reflection of sunlight off water. Here is a picture to give you an idea http://www.learnamericanenglishonline.com/Word%20of%20the%20Day/WOD_images/water_reflection.jpg - Imagine a solid black object with a faint blue glow moving about it like this pattern. The duration of this event lasted about 30 seconds, from the point I noticed this craft, till the point it moved out of view.

On October 31, 2014 at about 8:15 p.m. in Allen, Texas, I saw a triangular shaped object in the air about 400 to 500 feet above Highway 5, near Stacy Road. The object was traveling from the North going South. It was as wide as a house. It did not have any lights on it. I know it was not a flock of birds because it was a solid object and the underside showed a whitish gray color throughout the triangular form…not just the V that you normally see with a flock of birds. There was no wings flapping like you would see with birds. The object seemed to glide easily through the air at a consistent speed and was traveling quite fast. Additionally, the object made no noise. It was completely silent.

Recently, I started to smoke a tobacco pipe, and out of consideration for those that can't stand the smell, made a concerted effort to go out to a field/creek nearby. I stand and wait just to bide time, and was drawn to observe the usual nighttime activity of plane sightings. Observing the smoke from the pipe, and even watching out for passing vehicles driving to and from their homes so as not to draw unwanted suspicion, I would resume from ducking down and proceed as usual. Considering I was observant of regular vehicles, likewise I was somewhat inclined to turn around suddenly and witness a somewhat traditional shaped aircraft. First I must note that this was within a very short distance from where I was standing, in a sloped field near an incline roughly 10-15 feet deep, with clear observation of the surrounding area, and somewhat isolated/localized sound observation. Clean and clear night with a bright moon, and perfect visibility, with or without corrective lenses. Within the span of several seconds I was able to observe what immediately seemed out of place, was not only a craft that appeared to be propelled by an alternative (plasma?) energy compared to a jet engine, but seemed to have an audible and noticeable hum as it propelled itself, though seemingly akin to the light noise of a motorcycle's rotary engine. It seemed stationary in the sky as I looked up, and very clearly seemed to speed off ("impossibly" fast) upon first being noticed, only to very clearly disappear from sight. No cloud coverage was present, and this craft could not have disappeared simply from having flown out of ! view, or behind coverage of a building or cloud. As far as the shape of the craft, I thought it seemed smooth bodied but perhaps similar to traditional aircraft; though I did not notice any wings on it. Perhaps oval shaped, with engines that lit up but seemed to "swirl" with light, giving off a noticeable acceleration with greater illumination, and an almost purr-like quiet hum, seemingly difficult to notice if I wasn't already looking up at it (the sound did not draw my attention, and I honestly don't know why I turned around when I did.) I stared up at the sky dumbfounded and asking myself "what the F was that?" over and over again. It seemed to arch upwards at an angle and turned as it accelerated away from me, with what could have been an instantaneous 1000+ mph, as it disappeared. Noticing criteria for close encounters, I do tend to wonder if it could be possible such a thing was in progress; although I don't necessarily believe I have been a victim of such an event. Prior sighting I had was several years ago (apx 9/2012?) in nearly the same spot (I was driving home and had arrived around 10:15pm) and despite knowing what I was looking at, I wasn't startled. It was a pitch dark triangle with three observable clean white lights on all three underside corners (similar to what has been described in the Aurora UFO project by USAF but without the central engine "light" in the middle. It was an overcast of clouds and the ufo remained perfectly stationary below the cloud coverage. I loop the vehicle around to park along the street to get out, and noticed it was gone. Looking back I know I should have just stopped in the middle of the street and observed for awhile.

While standing outside with a friend of mine discussing current events we noticed a light traveling from West to East at a fairly slow pace which I would compare to that of a light aircraft. We were able to watch this object move into our view field which was blocked by a tree line to the west, go overhead and over another tree line to the east. This light was a white light that at one point had gotten bright, and then dimmed back down to its "normal" bright glow. This caught my eye because I see aircraft nightly when I go outside and look at the stars and this object did not have any strobe lights. This was a solid light which I exclaimed to my friend was a rare event that I had never seen before. My friend was telling me how he thought that this vehicle was an airplane 747 or some object that had a bright light on it. Moments later while giving my viewpoints on how that couldn't be a 747, we watched as a second craft flew towards us from the sam! e western direction. I quickly pointed to the craft and said "Look" another one. We watched as this craft started approaching from the west and without a gradual turn the object changed direction without missing a beat or stopping and started heading South West. This second object was starting to head southwest out of our view field so my buddy and I walked towards the street that I live on so I could get a better view of where the craft was going and what it was. This craft traveled South West for maybe 10-15 seconds maximum and then seamlessly changed directions to moving in a South Eastern direction. The light continued to move Southeast until we lose site of the object over houses that blocked the horizon. At this point in time our eyes are plastered to the sky and we are comparing this light we witnessed with other obvious aircraft lights in the sky. By now we are searching for another object to appear from the west when directly above us another light pops i! nto view not coming from any direction but seemingly coming &q! uot;Down " into view and then starts heading what I would call directly South. This 3rd object we could only keep in our view for 30 seconds or so max before it was behind a treeline. All three of these objects were simply bright white lights that I would estimate to have been approx 10-15x the size of the North Star for perspective. I would estimate that the first two objects flew way under planes we were watching in the sky while the 3rd object was obviously much higher and a slightly smaller light. While this was happening the dogs in the area were very amp'd up and going nuts barking and when they passed a good distance from being directly overhead the dogs stopped barking. This happened on the first two craft while the third craft I do not recall if this happened. All three of these separate sighting happened within 15 minutes of eachother and I must say that I really do feel honored to get to have seen this. The third craft was really the one that got my buddy because his airplane theory went out the window when it appeared out of nowhere directly above the top of us and I mean directly.

Garland, TX
At approximately 7:20 p.m. on October 29, 2014, I was at the intersection of North Garland Road and Beltline Road in Garland, Texas. I was in a parking lot, looking south. I observed multiple objects emitting a red colored light. The objects would originate from low on the horizon, and travel from the southeast to the northwest while gaining altitude. So, from my vantage point, the objects were moving from left to right and upward. Note that, if these were conventional aircraft, they would have shown a green light, as I was observing the starboard (right) side of the craft. The objects appeared one or two at a time, and followed the same path as the previous. I observed several of these red light objects originate low in the horizon and move upward and to the right along the same path in the sky, over the course of approximately 1 minute. The objects were consistent in size and velocity with conventional aircraft, which were also visible in the sky f! rom my location (urban area) however, as previously mentioned, the coloration of the light was not consistent with conventional aircraft. The light was reddish in color and had a pulse at a relatively low frequency, also some white light was visible within the red light emitted. The objects were at a distance such that I was not able to observe their exact shape. I was unable to detect any sounds from the objects, as the urban area was noisy at that time in the evening. Also, each of the objects would apparently gain altitude until it appeared as a small pinpoint of light in the sky (star). Two other witnesses observed the objects after I pointed them out in the sky.

Around 10:30p.m. as my wiife and I witnesses as we watched the sky to the west.From the northwest beyound the treeline we watched five seperate red-orande object rose above the trees one after another, at one point two object were in view at the same time Headed south across the sky, one after those seemed to dim and go down behind the trees, near straight down. As it left view another moved up and across the horizon with a fifth and last light appearing the same way and from the same direction, move south until it was out of view. It is hard to say a distance. The objects made no noticeable sound and did not blink. They almost appeared to be two lights on top of each other. My wife videoed the last two. I used a 25x rifle scope to try and view the light source. I only saw a light halo the color blending with the sky surrounding each light. They moved more rapidly and one went down over then back up in a way I've never seen any airplane or helicopter could move to my knowledge. It was similar to the Marfa lights only they came up and went out of view in the same manner as if following each other in very timed manner other than the third which looked to dim and move straight down, though as soon as we lost sight of it, the fourth appeared and continued as the first two. Used to seeing planes. Very different. A treeline and western sky were our view.Sorry, strange lights moved a cross the sky.

This morning around 3 am, two friends and I saw a group of 3 lights in triangular form. The lights were not pulsating or strobing, just white lights. The inside of the triangle appeared to be a slightly different tint than the night sky. We were in The Village on Telluride Complex in San Marcos, Texas. The Black Triangle glided across the sky, about the same speed as a plane, until it was out of our sight. Definitely a believer.
