I received an emailed report of a cylindrical object seen during daylight hours, over a lake east of Waco.
Later, the sighting was corroborated by a witness in Huntsville.
Here is that report.
Location: Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir, McLennan County, Texas
Date of Sighting: 10/14/2012
Time of Sighting: between 1:45/2:15 p.m.
Shape of Object: Cylinder
Report:
While fishing at lake TPL (Tradinghouse Creek
Reservoir) in McLennan County last Sunday 10/14/2012, witnessed a
cylindrical object in the sky moving slowly.
We seen the object approximately between 1:45/2:15 PM.
Object had no wings, did not look like a plane and was fairly large considering the distance.
It was defiantly larger than a 747. It was heading south.
If
you would put your hand out between your thumb and index finger it
would measure around 3 - 4 inches long and ¾ to 1 inch thick.
It was moving at a speed of maybe 200 miles an hour maybe around 5 to 8 thousand feet in the air.
I
first seen the object to my right at the 3 - 4 o’clock on the dial and I
asked my brother in law to check it out and we continued to observe the
object until 6 o’clock on the dial until it when out of site.
We witnessed the object for about 2 or 3 minutes.
We both agreed that it was cylindrical, no wings, cream color and moving slow.
It also seemed like it had sections. It was not perfectly straight like a cigar.
We were right at this spot facing lake.
This is an old aerial Google map* and the lake level is higher and now comes right up to the duck weeds.

Later the same day, just miles away in Huntsville, a witness sees a cylindrical object with no wings. That report was submitted to MUFON.
Here is that unedited report.:

Report:
I was standing at the at the back door looking up at the sky talking to my boyfirend, which was sitting in a chair cooking chicken on the BBQ pit. All of the sudden I see a bright glare out of my peripheral vision and as I looked I saw a bright metallic silver cigar shaped object. I then st arted yelling for him to look up. All I could verbalize was "it has no wings"! As I started to lose sight of the UFO I turned and ran through the house to the front porch and watched the object until I could no longer see it. He believes that the object was twice as large as a fighter jet but was flying at least Mach 2 at around 2/3 of the normal altitude of a fighter jet. He has always told me I was crazy. He was a true sceptic until that day. He said he does not know what it was but it was not a plane. We could not believe what we saw.!!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am from Mumbai, India and I too observed something unusual in the sky towards west yesterday. I saw a light streak in the sky far towards west some where between 7 to 7:15pm. The streak was like a straight narrow line and was there for 10-15 seconds then it became a little longer and finally it moved upwards and disappeared after by becoming short.
