Another Texas UFO sighting from earlier this year…

TX, February 16, 2010 – Rectagular black craft moving very slow apx 500 feet with 4 dim red lights. NO FAA lights. 1 dimensional?.. like a flat black sheet of paper with lights on each conner. MUFON Case # 22329.

On fab 16th 2010 apx around 10:10 – 10:15 PM I was coming back from the store and was walking between the house and next door. It was just flooting across the sky right over my next door neighbors house at apx 15 to 20 mph.

It was solid black. So black it was like a void in the sky. At apx 500 feet more or less it seemed to move in a stright line no sound at all. I would never have known this thing was above me if I didn’t look up. It had 4 dim red lights on each conner on the craft. Solid, not blinking. It was moving wast to east.

No FAA lights.

I don’t think I remeber ever seeing a brick flooting in the sky before.

It only had one dimension! Not 2 or 3 dimensions just one.. like a flat sheet of black paper it was so flat that it was out of my sight in 30 seconds..

I guess cause it was flat and one dimensional. The very dim lights could have been plasma vents to keep it up in the air.. I dunno.. just a guess.

It was a drop jaw moment for me. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

I always wanted to see a real UFO for myself all my life. Actually after seeing this thing and thinking about it it gives me the willies.

I reported this to the Mesquite, Texas police dept. Nobody else reported this thing and I could tell the cop that called me back was laughing at me for reporting it.. I ask him if anyone else reported this and he said no I was the only one. I reported it like 3 or 4 days later. Didn’t think the police would do much about it anyways but thought it might help just to document the sighting. This was my “First” UFO sighting. I wish I had a camera handy but the one I do have is only a 4 mega pix camera and seeing the UFO was so dimly lit I don’t think it would have been a very good picture or video.

Kind of interesting … I wish he’d had or used a cellphone camera to take a picture.

TX,  April 8, 2010 – moving sphere object with a bright-white light. MUFON Case # 22768.

I was coming back home from college in my car, on the 83 highway, late at night. My mother called to see when I was going to arrive home and I answered her call from my cellphone.

I was on the passanger seat at this time, while a friend drove me home. My mother was upset I was coming home late, so I ignored what she was saying to me and instead looked out the windshield at a slight angle towards the driver’s side.

In the sky, across from Alvarez Rd (in between Rio Grande,TX and Roma, TX)I saw a bright white light, a perfect sphere.

My first reaction was: “Oh my God!! What’s that!?..Oh my God..it’s moving!!..it’s f*king moving!”

While the driver still drove at 55mph-60mph, I kept track of the object for about 3seconds. The object was NOT far up in the sky, but instead it seemed to be pretty low to the ground. I saw it moving down towards the ground as if it were going to land.

It moved downward in the shape of an arc, a movement I believe no airplane or helicopter do when they plan to land. Anyhow, I do not know if the object landed because I lost site of it once it got too low to the ground because of trees covering the site. I noticed there was a house near where the object was, but there may be more than just one.

The driver did not see what I saw, but I wanted to ask people around the area where I saw this object if they had seened something similar to my story but I was too scared of doing that for fear of being called crazy.

What made me first notice the object was its perfect sphere-shaped bright-white glow. When I first saw it, I didn’t think anything of it; until I saw it was actually moving downward as if to land, I thought it could be perhaps a UFO because of the way it moved downward, forming an arc path.

During the siting I felt in disbelieve; It was very unexpected because I was not looking at the sky to find strange things, but yet there it had been very tangible. While still on the phone with my mother, I told her what I had seen: the bright white light shaped as a sphere.

After the sighting when I got home, I asked myself what it could have been and started iliminating possibilities and I could not find an explanation for it. So I arrived at one conclusion: an Unidentified Flying Object..apparantly about to land.

Student watches sphere-shaped object appear to land near Roma, Texas.

MSNBC recently did a piece on the “Best places to spot UFOs” and perhaps not surprisingly they included Stephenville, Texas. As I previously mentioned, it does seem that there have been a series of Sightings-Flaps there recently.

It was just another winter night in Stephenville, Texas, when Steve Allen, a 30-year aviation veteran, saw something that defied all logic—an eerily silent, mile-wide craft ringed in lights that would “rearrange themselves” racing across the sky at what he estimated to be 3,000 miles per hour.

“I don’t know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe, but it was definitely not from around these parts,” Allen told a reporter from the Empire-Tribune after the sighting on Jan. 8, 2008. Similar reports poured in from across Erath County.

The Stephenville Lights incident wasn’t a onetime event—another mass sighting followed in October 2008, and individual reports from the area still trickle in. This corner of Texas along with the eastern Nevada desert are fast emerging as the U.S.’s newest UFO “hot spots”—places with the best odds of a spotting. Similarly active places exist around the globe, with some even attracting a new kind of tourist.

Traveling eastbound on Parker Road, I spotted him at the light at Central Expressway. Half awake, I glanced over to the beat-up blue Chevy in front of me.

…

A Saturn with stars was painted on the door, along with a blue horse head on top of the rusty, multi-colored blue paint. The words, “UFO Abduction Outreach,” were stenciled on the door in white.

PLANO Blog | The Dallas Morning News.

When I read this report at Roger Marsh’s UFO Examiner blog I had just seen the above video of a “murmuration of starlings” moving as one organism, swooping and undulating to avoid the dive-bomb attacks of a Peregrine Falcon. What amazed me about the video, besides the always astounding “school of fish” effect of their unified movements, was how so many birds could seem to briefly vanish as their bodies all turn a certain direction, limiting their silhouette to a bare minimum visibility.

Of course that is not exactly what this witness relates here, as the “birds” appear to fly in a V-formation and not as an amorphous amoeba like those in the video.

So what did the witness actually see?

TX, March 29, 2009 – sting ray like looking birds in an arrow formation/disappear, reappear, and dissappear again. MUFON Case # 22152.

I had just flown in from Dallas to Harlingen, landed after 12 noon. I drove back with a friend and her husband to Mcallen, my home town. Before Mcallen, we drove through Pharr Texas. I was in the back seat, and I happened to look up.

I noticed, and not too high from the sky, a formation of birds, in an arrow shape, the way your normal birds migrate, but these were not the normal looking birds. They were in a perfect arrow shape, and about 8-10 of them on either side.

They were flying in synch, the exact same time and way, these birds looked like sting ray looking animals, very strange looking birds, with a wide wing span, and bodies like a sting ray.

As I was watching, they disappeared, then they reappeared within seconds, and they were still in synch as they were flying flapping their wings all at the same time. I did mention what I saw to the 2 people I was driving with, I was a little embarrassed to mention it again.

With in seconds they disappeared again, and not into clouds, because they were way below the clouds. I’ve told my close friends and am embarrassed to mention it to anyone because don’t want anyone to think I am crazy.

Texas witness reports ‘bird formation’ disappearing and reappearing in clear sky.

Another recent Texas UFO report via the Mufon database:

TX, February 27, 2010 – Beautiful, amazing, humbling, it felt personal, like it was waiting for me to come outside and notice it, it was really large and like nothing I had ever seen before. MUFON Case # 22051.

My boyfriend, Russell,and I were standing in our small suburban backyard enjoying the clear morning. We had been up all night hanging out with 2 friends of ours. They were in our living room at the time of our sighting.

I spotted a white reddish pulsating Orb high in the north-eastern sky. I pointed and said to Russ, ” what is THAT?”

He looked and started to say “Oh thats just a plane but said after a moment instead “I don’t know, what IS that?”

Then it started moving slowly from north-east toward the eastern quarter of our house. As it got closer we were able to see 3 smaller orbs connected to the larger orb.

Then it started moving west directly over our heads!!! Surrounding the Orbs was a very large, CLEARish, flat craft or ship. As a whole! But it was clear, we could see light glimmering very subtly off of it, and it radiated a trail of “heat-like” substance behind it- also clear.

The UFO Stopped completely over Russell and I for about 45 seconds, the light in the middle pulsated reddish white and greenish white..all we could hear was a very low octave drone coming from the stealthy craft…..when it hovered over us, we went from amazement to feeling paralyzed in fear for a moment…we felt completely vunerable and at the mercy of this advanced ariel craft.

All I could do was murmer,”Oh my God Russell, What are we LOOKING at????!!!,” We felt scared and in shock. The craft then continued on toward the west. Making all the neighboring dogs bark frantically.
The entire experience lasted about 5 minutes…or less, it’s hard to tell…it seemed like forever!

I then went inside to get our friends to come outside and see it…but when they came out it was to far away for them to see it. I will never be the same. It was beautiful!

Is this a UFO or just the streaked image of a street light?

TX, January 26, 2010 – I take pictures of cloud formations as a hobby, found this ufo? object during a review of the pics. MUFON Case # 21894.

Texas, February 16, 2010 – MUFON Case # 21927

My friend and I were in route from Port Arthur to Houston, traveling west bound on Highway 73, we had just passed the landfill(between Winnie Tx.)The time was about 11:45Pm. We were visiting my aunt, in ICU in Port Arthur.

I had just activated(the Google Navigator) on my 3G phone. I was thinking to myself how cool!, we are tracking in virtual time on a satalite map…”this must be the way we appear from an arial view.”

At that same instant my friend who was driving,in a calm collective manner says “See I told you that there are UFO’s around here!” I looked up, my eyes immeadiately fixated, to the top left corner of the windshield.

And….Sure enough!!! There IT was!!!! traveling east bound, about 200 ft above the hwy. It appeared to be pulsating a irradescent/flouresent bright rainbow color, however all of the colors displayed at the same time…….

I find that words are very difficult to express completely what we expireinced!!! There is just not any vocabulary that I know of that can replicate what we saw!! However, I will continue at the risk of sounding completely out of my mind…lol

There were three Rumboid shaped pulsating objects they seemed to be seperate, but yet as one unit?!?!? silently/fluidly traveling east bound,paralell to hwy 73… I have always had a scientific curriosity….I asked my friend”DID YOU SEE THAT?!?!WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!???? four times, I also rolled all of the car windows down and I opened the sun roof.

This was to reassure myself that we were’nt just seeing a reflection off of the car’s glass and the fact that my friend confirmed four times that we were both seeing the same phenomina. As I opened the sun roof,never taking my eyes off of the object, I popped my head up through the sun roof,and said WOW!!!! that’s no reflection!!! That’s a Bonified UFO! That very instant, the object made an immeadiate U-turn!!!!!!!!!

And now it was following us down hwy73!!! I never once left visual contact with the object. I jumped down into my seat and shouted”THEY ARE COMING!!!!THEY ARE FOLLOWING US!! keep in mind that this is a dark and desolate hwy at this time of the night.

I kept my eye on it, while my friend was franticly speeding up to get away! I could see the same colors pulsating 100FT above the pavement behind us!!,but it seemed very different than what colors you or I are use to???!!!

I was almost hypnotysed by this strange sight…That’s when I realized that we were not only being folowed but, also being monitored on a level that no Human/Animal could even begin to comprehend!!!

I could see the triangle shaped pulsating Rumboids getting larger, and closer, leaving and getting smaller, and yet not moving at all?!!?!?!? well my friend, as strange as it may sound, all of this was taking place simutaneousley, My eyes and brain were not quiet sure how to process all of this together!
We became panicked and sped up to approx. 120mph. Again this thing never changed perspective, of course we were speeding, but the object stayed behind us, but not ever moving?!!??!!?

My friend says to me”STOP STARING AT IT”!!

Who’s Pranking Whom? Why Ireland and Why Triangular UFOs?

AUSTIN - It’s like déjà vu all over again … remember back in October 2008 when we broke the story of how someone in Ireland’s media had been convinced that a then recent UFO sighting flap (which featured an apparent triangle ufo with a red laser caught with cellphone video footage) was connected to this amazing footage of a triangle ufo with red laser darting about but which turned out to be reused footage of an award winning model from a UFO hoax contest? Well it appears that someone has yet again pulled the wool over the media’s eyes.
