Blue Light
Much like the other posts from 4/6, 4 of us saw these lights last night between approximately 10:35p-10:45 last night, 4/6. We saw it from our backyard near 92nd &University.
What first caught my eye was that the lights were blinking like a plane, but in no consistent pattern. I would be two then nothing. Then three then nothing. Then a series of blinks then nothing for a couple of minutes.
It looked like two or three blueish lights together that moved very quickly. It would move in one direction quickly, then disappear for a few seconds, then reappear a good distance from where we last saw it. It wasn't moving in one general direction. It seemed to head NE, then it would appear back SW of that position.
It was really strange. Would love to hear what you discover about this mystery.

Blue light-changing to red/white
Tonight April 7,2012 around 9:40ish we were in our back yard in Harker Heights myself, mother in law and brother in law as well as my daughter we witnessed a bright blue light moving about the sky. It would change colors from blue to red and white. I thought it was a toy plane or helicopter however it was too steady and lasted about 20 min it was moving very slowly at first then began making erradic moves. From our vantage point it seemed about 80 feet off the ground but made no noise. A few times it came overhead. I took a short video but can't attach it because of the size. Let me know if this was similar to sightings being reported.
Seemed to be pretty large the light was intense blue then it was like it turned and the light was red it was very strange feeling not like a plane or helo.

Hi, I'm a firefighter with the city of Harker Heights and I was on duty last night during the events described above. I too saw the blue and red alternating lights. My partner and I were on the ambulance and were returning from a call when we first saw it. We filled up with fuel at a gas station on FM 2410 and watched it for 10 to 15 minutes. It was fun to watch and we were suspect that due to its location (constantly over Carl Levin park) that it may have been an RC craft and the operator was most likely in the park.
ReplyDeleteWe traveled to Carl Levin and and joined about half a dozen other people in the parking lot who were watching it hover directly over head. At one point the lights changed from blue to red and in the split second of no lights on you could clearly see a tail fin. We knew an operator was close by at that point. A minute or two later the pilot did approach the group with the control box strapped around his neck and said "Pretty neat huh?" I was perplexed as to the lack of noise and his extra long flight times. He said it was a glider, he hides in the weeds across the street from the park and does this on a regular basis in Heights and at Belton Lake. The glider has a 6 ft wing span and he brought it down for a battery change as we were leaving.
