I was taking a break from making planters at my friend's house on her back porch when I decided to take a break. Looking out and at the sky over my friends yard, I noticed what I thought was a strange, shaped bright cloud. It looked to be less than a mile away. I watched it for about 5 minutes and not seeing it dissipate, and because there were no other clouds this day, it didn't make sense to see this one. I called out to my friend, to have her look to see what she thought it might be. We could see it but we couldn't make out anything but a bright light. We walked to the end of her yard at her fenceline, about an acre sized yard, then I ran to get the binoculars so we could see it better. Looking through the binoculars I saw this white object with pink and blue lights encasing it. Like a halo around it. It appeared to be hovering, and moving away very slowly in the sky and was tilted about 20-30° angle towards the left the whole time we saw it. We called out for her roommate to see what he thought it might be and so he wouldnt think we were crazy. This was probably 10 minutes after I first saw it. We took turns watching this through the binoculars. At one point I was looking through them, for a split second I saw a ball of light appear to go into this white object and then I saw it disappeared and the shape of the object was visible again.. I grabbed my phone at my friend's suggestion and took a picture at 8:02pm. At about 8:05pm we thought we would try to get closer for a better picture, so we got in her car and drove down the road, but didn't see it from there so after a vpl of minutes looking in that direction, we gave up drove back to her house and looked in the same area, but we couldn't see it anymore. No sound that we could hear, no trails left like a plane, as we did see a few off to the left that had left trails that lasted only seconds. It was a warm day. This was not a plane, nor anything we've ever seen before. It moved very slow and methodically in the sky. Visible to the eye with much better details through the binoculars. What prompted me to make a report, a few days later I read about cow mutilations in the counties nearby. [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Possible]

On 04/18/2023 on or about 2345 hrs I was sitting with a co-worker in a darkened area of a property just on the outskirts of the city in a vehicle. When I blacked out my vehicle. A moment later, I observed a triangle shape craft flying through the night sky; the object appeared to be dark gray with curriculum patterns on the bottom of the unknown craft. As I was talking with my co-worker I quickly startled him and asked him to look towards the sky. The object was in range for less than 10 - 20 seconds before it was out of sight over the darkened area.

Humming sound woke me up and I laid there and tried to figure out what it was. I got up and looked out the window and put my face against the window to see if it was vibrating and when I looked back up to the sky, I saw this object that was kind of rectangle-shaped but oddly it looked like a sailboat with red lights around it. It was a pretty big object. By the way, even as far away as it was, when it disappeared from my site a few seconds later, the humming stopped. I was so shocked for a few seconds I couldn't move and I didn't have enough time to grab my camera off my nightstand to take a picture. I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night and felt like I needed to tell somebody about this. I did check the flight radar app on my phone to see if any airplanes or helicopters were in the vicinity of our home and there was none... maybe a small training plane from the naval air station but nothing that was near the size of what I saw. I would like to know what it was, if you could tell me.

Middle of the day look up and see a disk shaped craft metallic shiny watched made several videos at one point looks like another craft ejects from the main craft and it begins to blink white and looks more like a ball. I was very shocked it was the middle of the day.. one video shows an airplane in the distance and it’s clearly not that. The background is a clear sky. April 17 2023 5:58 pm.

I saw various probes at an altitude higher than skyscrapers and lower than airplanes. I initially thought they were birds but they became dark and then light up with a clear sky and no clouds at this time of day. They moved making designs and at times looked like tentacles of a jellyfish. It looked liked about 30 - 40 probes. All of a sudden they disappeared and I only had 2 witnesses that saw it.

At about 2am I witnessed three unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in a formation heading in the direction of Lackland air-force base. About a minute later, another object with same features flew in the opposite direction. The three UFOs were low enough that I could see them making minor adjustments in their position between each other, indicating that they were independent from each other and not connected. They had a circular shape and emitted white lights, but lights were dim, each object had same light intensity, shape and size. Objects were not very noticeable if not flying directly above. They flew right above me and quickly blended in with the night sky as they moved away. They did not make any sudden or erratic maneuvers but rather flew in a linear direction. They were fast, but there was no sound associated with them. I remember clearly at that time there was no wind, or clouds. they looked too large and too quiet to be drones. They also flew in a restricted airspace, which would require permission to operate drones. This happened around 1:50-2 am, when there was very little traffic or people around, and at that time I don’t remember any cars or people in the area. The UFOs were too swift for me to capture them on my phone camera. It’s not the only time I witnessed ufo but this is the most recent one. Also my friend in a different location in the US saw an object accelerate from approximately 20mph to thousands of mph within instance, but location and time I need to confirm with my friend.

I was in my backyard checking whatever turned to look into the night sky and see a light blue what I thought was a comet falling from the sky. It started turning and dimmed down to an orb. I believed it was a aircraft possibly but others flew past it with its lights on and this didn't have any besides glowing one color. I was a watch stander in the Navy and seen enough night time flights to know a plane and heli.

We were observing little dipper when one of it's points moved. It was a glowing white orb. Nothing more. It pulsed some as it flew across sky, very very high.When past our location heading out towards Lake Arrowhead it stopped turned and came back to about half way between where we first noticed near LD. Object looked like it stopped and faded away.

On my hammock tonight enjoying a clear sky, I saw a white light blink in the West sky almost directly where I was looking. I thought to myself “”where did that plane come from” and I honestly just thought that I had missed it traveling across the sky. So I locked eyes on it and it blinked two more times in the same position then stopped. I thought it was odd because plane lights don’t stop. So I kept looking. About 30 seconds to a minute later, I saw a brighter light flash slower to the left, about an “arms length” away (when held up to the sky). It was bigger than the first. Now I was really confused. Then after a minute, back closer to the original spot, another flash of a light two times. I stared for a long time afterwards. I saw two typical small satellites cross the sky. I am use to those. But the other lights were much larger and brighter. I have never seen anything like that and never reported anything in my life. It may be total coincidence, but when this was happening my dog and other neighborhood dogs were all barking. Before the incident, I heard a plane to the east of me.

I was taking a video of a lightening storm and a object flew across the video seven seconds into the video. I did not notice this until I viewed the video two days ago. The object at one point I paused the video and it looked like an up side down horse shoe. Another time I stopped the video and it looked like a very large bird that`s going warp speed. It is a rusty metal color. The date was 3/16/23 at 9:33 PM.

At approximately 2:45 pm, two witnesses observed two long, flat like a coin, almost-rectangular objects. The objects appeared to have rounded corners. The sighting occurred while witnesses were in moving vehicle traveling approximately 50 to 60 mph. Photo/video could not safely be captured because vehicle was moving and the short length of sighting. The objects appeared to be hovering above the south end of Alliance Airport, at least 400 yards above the ground. The objects were extremely bright, even in the sunny afternoon. The light was similar to sunlight reflecting off metal, except brighter. At that time of day, the sun was on the other side of the objects from the witnesses' perspective. At first it appeared the objects were simply wings on a landing airplane. However, there was blue sky between the objects (i.e. no fuselage) and said objects hovered in the same place, uncharacteristic of a plane. The witnesses are familiar with airborne planes and helicopters due to close proximity to the JNRB airfield, DFW airport, and emergency responder helicopters. After about 20 seconds, the objects were no longer visible from their hovering location. The witnesses did not see the objects disappear. Around 10 minutes later, the witnesses observed a military helicopter traveling south, not far from the east side of I-35 W. The helicopter appeared to be a Black Hawk with armament.

I"m a 15-year resident in this part of Texas, my home sits upon a hill overlooking miles of Texas terrain, I'm familiar with everything in the night sky as I always stand and watch aircraft go in and out of DFW. Last night there appeared a glowing green to red object stationary in the night sky, then it would move from one location in a straight line, with no sound what so ever, then ascend straight up, stop, then descend to almost ground level. It would rise again slowly move in westardly direction as if it was looking for something.I'm a disabled veteran photographer who saw and document this same event while stationed at Wurtsmith AFB, Oscoda Mich in 1974. Myself, SSgt Lee and MSgt Kerns witnessed and photographed 5 such hovering objects over the flightline glowing green to red as this one did. I considered this to be an observation craft then, and judging from this mornings sighting, this was the same type craft.

I was on the passenger side of our car and looked up in the southern sky at what appeared to be two craft flying side by side high up in the sky. The craft on the right seemed to have issues with appearing and disappearing. Clearly it had the ability to become invisible. The craft on the left never disappeared at all. After the left side craft finally became visible again they both vanished very quickly. I don't know if they became both invisible or just sped off without a trace .It was overwhelming. I Googled Texas UFO sightings and came up with a website by that actual name. There was a testimonial from a husband who saw the exact same two craft behaving the exact same way while he observed from the passenger side of his vehicle while traveling northward in Dallas, Texas. These craft are around and the problem seems to be that they can't be seen if they don't want to.

I am a new airline pilot and my Captain was a very experienced airline pilot flying jets for almost 30 years. We had never seen anything like this before. My captain asked me to take a look at a “star” that was northwest of our position, seemingly very far from us and about 30 degrees above the horizon. This “star” was shining brighter than anything else in the sky, other than the moon which was behind us. Over the course of a few seconds, this object dimmed its brightness until it was invisible, then a few seconds later began to brighten back to the original brightness. This occurred maybe 4 or 5 times. This light was not moving relative to the stars at this time. After the last dimming, we began to see multiple lights that looked like stars (at least 3 objects possibly 4), but they began moving in very strange ways. They appeared to be orbiting each other, then stationary, then they would move very fast across the sky and sometimes change direction rapidly. One of them dove down and disappeared on the horizon faster than anything I have ever seen or heard of. After about 20 minutes of this, we stopped seeing any more activity from that area. We had our main Flight Attendant observe the area of the sky after we stopped seeing the activity and she was unable to see anything as well. We did not report the sighting to ATC and we were not monitoring “guard” frequency to see if anyone else had seen something similar. In the map posted below, I made a red dot showing our approximate location. The green arrow shows our approximate flight path, and the orange arrow shows the direction of the objects (please note I cannot estimate distance to the objects)

I saw this really unusual object in the sky between 1430 and 1500 above our house. It was a sphere translucent white circle that appeared suddenly while we were flying a kite. The orb came close to the kite horizontally and stopped moving for about 6 seconds and then it suddenly disappeared by moving in the opposite direction horizontally. It almost seemed to have been inspecting what it was that we were flying (our kite) and then returning it’s trajectory.

Small orb like magenta colored light with a thin cast off tail that also was lit on the end levitating spinning above the street moving to the left. The closer we got we heard whistles, beeps wizzes in a metallic robotic melodic back and forth sounds like conversation. When our car drove over it we felt the sound under the car and then envelope the car and our space. When we passed over it the sounds faded and my rear window was clouded and I was not able to see it in the street. When we finally passed the area on the street I looked back out the rear window through the rear view mirror and the window appeared clean again.

I was with my sibling when I wanted to take a photo of the sunset sky. I didn’t review the photos till the following day. I didn’t observe them directly as it happened until I was reviewing some photos and realized that one photo had two odd lights in the sky that the other photos did not have around the same cloud pattern. The photos were one minute apart and the objects when zoomed in look very much like the stuff you’d expect to see with a flying saucer including what looks like a round shape on top of one of the UFOs.

This was 1 of 4 I saw within an hour. This was the 3rd. Moving at what I believe was an altitude of 5 to 10k ft. from west to east. Steady speed, no lights, looked like a brown orb the size of a small van. I have a video posted to Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpL6_1pJzEk/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

My husband informed me that he had seen two UFOs in the sky. I went and looked and sure enough, there were two spherical bright white lights low in the southeastern sky. One appeared to be at least twice the size of Venus and the other was triple that size. Both had a single red light on the bottom. They did not appear to be moving although when we came into the house and went back after several minutes they did seem to have shifted position ever so slightly. I believe the shift was due to the rotation of the earth. After about 40 minutes they disappeared behind the tree line. We have seen planes and helicopters pass over at night and these did not resemble either of those.

On February, at 10:32pm, I saw sighting of 4 objects in the sky. These objects had a distinct Y-shaped appearance and were adorned with an assortment of lights like white pink and green . The four UFOs remained suspended in the air for approximately 5 minutes, emitting a mesmerizing glow . After the hovering phase, the objects split into two pairs, with two of them moving to the left and the other two veering to the right. Notably, one of the objects exhibited remarkable speed, while the rest moved a bit slower. I tried to follow the one that was moving to the left but I couldn’t see more since it was moving fast and the buildings were blocking it. Also I believe they were close to the airport since a lot of planes were passing by. They weren’t airplanes or Jets since they were faster and were at higher altitudes and were hovering. That’s the last time I saw of them that day I never saw them again.
