AMAZING CLOUD UFO WITNESSED OVER NORTH CAROLINA

11-18-12 GREENSBORO NORTH CAROLINA

About 11:50PM last night I took the dog outside. I had an unexplainable fear about that same time. When I walked out I looked up at the sky in the area of the Greensboro airport. The sky was cloudy and there was a moderate, steady wind. The temperature was probably in the low 40s. I noticed a huge circular cloud formation that was stationary as the other clouds around it were blowing from East to generally West. I thought it odd that the circular cloud wasn't moving as the other clouds around it were moving at a steady pace. The circular cloud had a very defined circle around its edges and looked kind of like a doughnut with a hole in the middle. I watched it for about 20 minutes. I don't know how long it had been there before I saw it. I would estimate the size of this disk to be about a mile wide and perfectly round. Then, at about midnight it began to shoot out what can best be described as short burst of what looked like, light blue, short, lightning bolts. They may have been beams of light but, they flashed like lightning, or flash bulbs. This went on for about 1 minute and seemed random and in no particular direction. It wasnt a rapid fire kind of a thing. Rather, in the period of a minute I saw about 5 or 6 burst of light. They were not super bright from where I was. Rather, it was the brightness of distant lightning. It caused me to feel almost paralyzed with fear and I couldn't walk away or look away. I noticed that the area of sky behind the cloud was black as the rest of the sky was a very dark or, gray blue color. As clouds passed I could see occasional stars but over the circular shaped cloud the sky seemed blacked out. During this whole event I neither heard or saw any air traffic in the area, particularly from the Greensboro airport its self (which is not uncommon at this hour). Then I heard a very fast moving jet flying over directly at the circle cloud formation. The cloud suddenly lost its circular definition and broke up into the same consistency as the surrounding clouds. As the fast moving jet flew over I didn't see any of the typical flashing lights that are associated with aircraft in flight. I didn't see any lights at all. I just heard a loud, very fast moving jet fly right into the area where the circular cloud was breaking up. The jet sounded like it was coming from the South West of the airport and heading East. This happened at about 10 or 15 minutes after midnight. I didn't have a watch so, I'm guessing about the time for this phase of the event. Living near the airport I hear passenger and transport jets all day, every day. The jet I heard last night was, in my opinion a small jet fighter. The engine sound was louder and it was moving much faster than any of the jets ever do around the airport.  There were no strobes or lights of any kind. It was completely blacked out. When I went outside it was about 11:50pm. When I went back in the house I looked at the clock and it was 00:58am. However, I was sure that I was only outside for about 20 minutes, or less. I went upstairs and had a strong sense of fear. In fact, I was so troubled that I loaded my rifle, which seems pretty crazy in the light of day. My dog is crippled and has limited use of her old legs. When I carried her in she was cold, slightly wet on her right side and shivering. I have no idea haw she got wet as it didn't rain. I kindly request that I not be contacted about this. I have been as detailed as I can about what I saw. This was disturbing and I don't wish to spend time talking about it and I will not be publicly exposed as it would certainly have a negative impact on my life. Its a long way back from crazy.

Boomerang-Shaped UFOs Over Texas and Arizona

Witness' report to MUFON of having seen boomerang-shaped objects, or lights in the skies over Texas and Arizona, during mid November, 2012.

These reports are as is, with no corrections.


MUFON Case # 43966
Location: Robinson, Texas
Date of Event:     11/10/2012
Time: 10:00 UTC
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Sighting Duration: 00:00:15
Object Features: Wings, Other
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape: Boomerang, Other
Summary: Huge v-shaped craft

Report:
I was sitting on the porch of the guest house on the property I live on relaxing for the evening. I suddenly saw a huge v-shaped formation of large lights coming over the house & at first thought they were a squadron of planes. There were 4 or 5 lights on each side w/ no apparent front/center light. I then realized the lights were all part of 1 huge object that was moving low, slow & w/out any apparent sound. I jumped off the porch as it went over the house because I couldn't believe what I was seeing and ran into the yard to get a better look. I watched it continue south & out of sight, all in all lasting about 15 seconds time. The whole experience was so vividly clear & w/out a doubt to be a craft that defied any rational explanation. I even called the manager of the TSTC airport which is non commercial facility (where president Bush would land on occasion) & he verified there were no aircraft of any sort flying in or out of there that evening.

MUFON Case # 43884
Location: Queen Creek, Arizona
Date of Event:     11/12/2012
Time: 09:57 UTC
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape: Boomerang
Summary: outside on patio when i noticed the object moving in S direction. Fast, No sound
Report:
I was outside on patio, appx 2155 looking East. The dim deep blue lights caught my eye. It was above the rooftop of the nextdoor neighbors house, although I would estimate appx 1-1.5 mi away. Moving in a Southern direction. I could see a faint outline as the lights seemed to help outline the object. Moving faster than any aircraft in this area.....except for the occasional military jet that may fly over during datime hours. I am close to Phoenix Gateway Airport but this was no plane. I am a pilot of small aircraft but this is my first time observing this type of craft in this area. By the way theere were no planes in the area at this time. Air traffic very slow to nonexistant.

MUFON Case # 44016
Location: Casa Grande, Arizona
Date of Event: 2012-11-18
Time: 9:01PM
Shape: Boomerang
Summary: Out at night looking at the stars & object flew over blocking out the stars & made NO sound. Size was large maybe the size of a football field. Hard to say because it flew over my house & other then the stars in the sky nothing to make a comparison    

Report:
11/18/12 @ 9:00pm I was in my front yard looking at the stars because it was a clear night and the stars where so bright in the sky. There was no wind. As I was looking up at the sky looking up & toward the southeast I noticed something very large boomerang shape block out the stars. It made no sound and it was large. It was black against the sky and it seem to slightly reflect light towards the tips of the boomerang shape. It passed over about the speed of a plane but it was lower then what a plane would fly over a housing area. It was heading in a southeast direction. I watched it till it was out if my sight blocked by a tree beside my house. I have drawn a picture of what I saw and contacted my brother who is an aero space engineer to se if he had any idea if it could be a secret military plane. He thought I should list my sighting encase others saw it. It did get my adrenalin going thats for sure. It was the fact that it was so large and made NO sound that really struck me as what the HECK was that!!

LITS Investigator Sees Laser Beams In Sky Near Granbury, Texas

I received an emailed report from our Dallas/Ft. Worth investigator, who while conducting an investigation observed laser beams shoot across the sky.  Here is his report:

Granbury, Texas
November 21, 2012 at 2:00 a.m.

Wanted to report that I saw three orange laser flashes across the southern horizon.

At exactly 2:00 AM there was three very quick bursts of laser beams that shot across possibly 250 miles of the atmosphere.  From East to West, this orange laser beam shot across the sky, at approximately 12 degrees above the due south horizon.  There was one quick shot, then a couple seconds later there were two more.

These were not meteors. I saw at least 25 or so meteors before, during and after the laser blasts. These were solid, straight high intensity beams, that made the atmosphere glow and did not leave a trail at all. This was the first time that I have seen lasers firing in our atmosphere. This was extremely high up and would possibly be over 100,000 feet up, definitely at the fringe of space. The laser bursts did not appear to strike anything but it was so far off that I would not have seen the targeted object, unless it was gigantic.

Orange laser beams! What next? -R

Satellites Above - What's Up?

Satellite Orbits
Courtesy Suntrek.org

I've received numerous emails from people all over, who think they may have seen a satellite in orbit.  Well, what is a satellite?  A satellite is an object that orbits (revolves) around another object.  Our moon is a natural satellite.  Objects put into orbit around our planet (and others) by human endeavors, are called artificial satellites.

Some satellites can be see with the naked eye, by observers on the ground. These are generally low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, while other satellites orbit too far out from our planet to be visible without a powerful telescope.

With today's technology, anyone can track most of the satellites in orbit around Earth.  For those of you attached to your mobile phones, there's an app for that.

Meanwhile, here is some useful information on satellites, which I hope will increase your star-gazing pleasure. -SW


Suntrek- "What do satellites do?"

Geostationary Orbit (GEO)
These satellites are in orbit above the Earth's equator. They stay above the same location on Earth. They are used for telecommunications, television transmission and for navigation.

Low Earth orbit (LEO)
A satellite has a Low Earth Orbit when it orbits somewhere between 300 and 800 km above the Earth's surface. These satellites only take about 90 minutes to go around the Earth. They are ideal for making observations of the Earth's resources.

Polar Orbits
A polar orbit is a special LEO in which a satellite travels north-south over the Earth's poles, rather than in the more usual east-west direction. Polar orbits can be used to map the complete Earth once a day. This is needed for weather forecasts.

Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites
This is a fleet of satellites which allows us to know exactly where on Earth we are.

Science News Sunday: Leonid Meteor Showers Peak This Weekend, News of Mars, Wandering Planet, Exploring Moon Caves and More

All meteor trails point back to a spot in the sky astronomers call the radiant. For the Leonid meteor shower, this point lies near Leo the Lion's head. The radiant, however, drifts from night to night because Earth's position is changing as our planet orbits the Sun. // Astronomy: Roen Kelly

Get ready for the Leonid meteor shower
This year’s show occurs under prime conditions November 17.

They’re back! After exceptional displays in recent years, the Leonid meteor shower will appear under dark skies in 2012. Yet no one knows for sure what the shower has in store for us. Estimates range from a few meteors up to dozens of meteors per hour at the peak.

Predicting meteor rates, particularly for the highly variable Leonid shower, is akin to estimating the number of snowflakes that will fall on an area of ground. You simply can’t know until it’s all over. And in the case of this event, you’ll know only if you’re outside observing.

The remarkable activity that observers witnessed during 1999 (a rain of fireballs [meteors bright enough to cast a shadow]) and 2000 (more than 1,000 meteors per hour for a brief period) came about because the shower’s parent comet, 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, had passed through the inner solar system in 1998.

This year, predictions are more modest, but spikes in activity can occur at any time. The shower’s peak occurs across North America before dawn November 17. The Moon reaches First Quarter on the 20th, so it will only interfere if you observe before moonset, around 10 p.m. local time. Even then, bright Leonids should shine through nicely.

Photos of Large Unidentified Craft Over Aledo, Texas

Click on any image to enlarge.

Photos taken in rapid sequence.

*
One of my colleagues in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, sent me a report and photos of an object he witnessed during an investigation.
*
Location: Aledo, Texas
Date: Tuesday, November 13,2012
Time: Approximately 4:18 AM.
Direction of Travel: Due South
Speed of Object: Approx. 2,000 mph
Shape of Object: Triangle, Rectangle, Oval, Disc
Summary: Large object, possibly triangular, rectangular or saucer-shaped, moving rapidly across the sky.

Report:
Date was 13 November, 2012, at 4:18 AM.

Here are pictures of one of the UFOs, that I witnessed and photographed in Aledo during my 32 hour investigation. This object was huge and was traveling due south.  The glow on the horizon (in photo) is Dallas/Fort Worth. I would guess the speed to be around 2,000 mph.

The three photos that I did manage to take, were exposed at approximately three second intervals. Shutter speed at 6/10ths of a second. to capture as much light as possible.

There was no sound at all and it did not pulse, or change in light configuration; light blue, or purple sections with a red glowing center. Could have been a Saucer seen edge on.

This object was about 5,000 feet above all the airliners and would place it around 40,000 feet up.

The object Did not falter or waiver, make any turns or anything. Simply flew very fast and very steady, on a straight course to the southern horizon.

The craft had more of what I call "Hard Lines" to it.

I checked with the Weather Center and the Ceiling was 55,000 feet, so those clouds were very high up there.

Visibility was to infinity below the clouds, for any aviation controls.

I did see a slight red glow, on the underneath side of the clouds Where the UFO was traveling but the camera did not pick that up. My heart was racing a hundred miles an hour and I had a tough time holding the camera steady.

The house was directly to my right and that is why I could not follow it to the horizon with the camera, though I did run around to the side of the house, to see it travel on out of sight.

This craft traveled from horizon to horizon in about 12 seconds, at roughly 35,000 to 45,000 feet in altitude. My rough guess of 2,000 mph may even be quite conservative.

Whatever it was, it definitely was not not made in Detroit, that's for sure!

LIGHTS IN THE SKY NEAR TEMPLE, TX -11/7/2012

Witnesses take note of two bright yellow-orange lights near Temple, Texas, November 7, 2012.

This report was originally submitted to MUFON.  It is posted here, as is, with no corrections.


MUFON Case # 43816
Location: Temple, Texas
Date of Sighting: 11/07/2012
Time of Sighting: 06:15 UTC
Tags:     hovering lights
Viewing Distance:  Over One Mile
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features:   Unknown
Object Flight Path: Stationary
Object Shape:      Unknown
Weather Factors:   Unknown
Summary: Two bright yellow-orange ESE of I-35N, Temple TX. Hovering level with each other, short black vertical trails.

Report:
Going to dinner with my grandparents in Temple, Texas. It was dusk, 6:15pm on November 7th, 2012. Driving (NNE) up the busy i-35N. I was seated in the backseat. I was gazing out of the right back passenger side absentmindedly, Directly to my right (ESE) I noticed two bright yellow-orange lights the size of a regular plastic thumbtack at about 20-25 degrees above the horizon. The bright lights were exactly level, about an inch apart from each other (naturally, the scale is my perspective) either hovering or moving exactly horizontally either toward or away from my point of reference. It is possible the lights were connected to either side of the same object. I noticed absolutely no wavering in the lights, so I alerted my grandparents. They are very rational business-owning folk, and they first wrote it off as helicopters in training. I pointed out (from my knowledge) that all commercial air vehicles must have blinking lights on the port and starboard, and that the head (or tail) lights of aircraft (including all standard personal and military craft) are always bright white, not the yellow-orange. My grandfather has had his pilots license for 30+ years and he agreed with me. He stated that he had never observed such an obviously large aircraft (or crafts) such as this (these). They have lived within a 15 mile vicinity of the sighting for 10+ years, and confirm there are no human architected objects (antennae, towers, buildings) in the line of sight of these objects. My family were moderately interested, and I was in complete awe of these unidentified objects. Five minutes pass with more speculation, no wavering in size nor distance apart. We then noticed black, thin, barely visible trails spanning two inches directly vertically from both lights. Ten more minutes pass and no visible change in the size, dimensions, level, orientation, visibility, nor trail (line/beam?) length...Although we had traveled an additional 9 miles NNE on the I-35N. We arrived at our destination at ~6:35pm, and the lights were still present, unchanging. We enter the restaurant and continue with our evening. Upon exiting the restaurant at ~7:10pm, the object(s) were no longer visible.

[Editor's note:  At first I suspected flares but they do not last more than a few minutes, nor can they hover for that length of time. -Sunny]

COULD A SOLAR FLARE BE THE END OF US?

Video Link


Last night I watched "THE KILLSHOT: APPROACHING THE MOMENT", on DVD.  According to Major Ed Dames (ret.), remote viewers have seen a doomsday scenario, in which the Earth will be devastated by a tremendous solar flare.   It isn't that far fetched, as signs keep pointing to that most real possibility.

On Tuesday, August 6, 2011, an x6.9 flare was recorded. Then on Monday, October 22, 2012, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured the sun erupting with an X1.8 class solar flare. The solar flare came from an active region on the left side of the sun known as AR 1598. This area of the sun has been known as a source of weaker flares.

So the October 22, 2012 flare was weaker than the one on August 6, 2011. Does that mean the sun's flare activity is winding down? No, NASA predictes 2013 (May) will see solar storms building towards a peak, though at the same time, they claim that killer solar storms are an impossibility. Gee, that still doesn't sound very reassuring.

So just what are solar flares?  Flares occur when powerful magnetic fields in and around the sun reconnect. Often associated with active regions on the sun's surface, where the magnetic fields are strongest and seen as sun spots. Classified according to their strength, the smallest flares are B-class, followed by C, M and X, which is the largest.  Each letter represents a ten-fold increase in energy output.   Therefore, an X is 10 times an M and 100 times a C.

There is also another scale within each letter class, these range from 1 to 9.  C-class flares have little noticeable affect on Earth but M-class flares can cause brief radio blackouts at the North and South poles and produce minor radiation storms which could endanger astronauts. X is the last letter and most powerful class, however, there are flares 10 times more powerful than an X1 and X-class flares can go higher than 9.

In 2003, a very powerful flare was recorded (during the last solar maximum).  That particularly powerful flare overloaded the sensors that were measuring it (the sensors cut-out at X28).  A powerful X-class flare such as that can create long lasting radiation storms, harm satellites, create global transmission problems, cause world-wide blackouts and even airline passengers flying near the poles, could receive small doses of radiation.

On the cloudless British morning of Thursday, September 1, 1859, solar astronomer Richard Carrington took note of and drew a representation, of the sunspots he saw through the projected image from his 11 inch wide telescope.  Before dawn the next day, skies all over the Earth erupted in red, purple and green auroras, which were so brilliant, that newspapers could be read as if it were daylight. Auroras could even be seen as far south as Cuba, Jamaica, the Bahamas, El Salvador and even in Hawaii.

That wasn't the end of the story for the "Carrington Flare." Telegraph systems worldwide, went haywire. Sparks discharged, shocking telegraph operators, even setting fire to telegraph paper.  Not only that, when telegraphers disconnected the batteries powering the telegraph lines, the aurora-induced electric currents in the wires still allowed messages to be transmitted, though many messages were gibberish.

So what would happen if a flare like the 1859 flare occurred?  Or how about that mega-flare that Major Ed Dames' remote viewers have seen in our near future? Power grids all over the world would go down and all electronic communications would cease.  Satellites would be fried. The International Space Station would be no protection for the astronauts and airplanes could conceivably fall from the sky. There would be no phones, no TV, no Internet and no microwave ovens.  And if you were out in it, you'd probably have a really nasty sunburn and a huge dose of radiation. Bummer!

Society would most likely be knocked back to (at least temporarily), that day in 1859, minus the telegraph. Such circumstances could last anywhere from a few months, to years! That wouldn't be so bad now, would it?  Well, maybe so.  I've finally gotten used to "texting".

-Sunny Williams

[Author's Note: Though I do find this subject to be very serious and know that such a mega solar event could possibly kill millions, if not billions of people, humor is my preferred choice of self defense (instead of uncontrollable sobbing).]

On the evening of November 3, 2012*, light were seen in the sky over Kingsville, Texas by a number of witnesses. 

One of these witnesses sent me his report, along with maps and video.  As the witness states, the video is of poor quality (taken by another witness), however, I was able to capture a frame to analyze.  That video capture is included in this report. (Note: The witness requested a report form, filled it out and returned it on 11/7/2012.)

LITS Case # 5T3112012A
Location: Kigsville, Texas
Date of Sighting: Nov. 3, 2012
Time of Sighting: 8:30 pm
Shape of Object(s): Orb
Number of objects: 6-7

Report:
I was driving home with my wife and children in our car, and noticed some very bright orange lights moving very slowly in the sky. I asked my wife to identify the lights, as I was driving and about to turn west. She said she didn't know. My daughter then asked about the orange lights in the sky.

While my wife and daughter watched the lights I pulled into our driveway and got out of the car to look at the lights. There were about 6-7 orange lights forming various patterns (triangle, square, cross, etc) very slowly changing places. there was no noise from the objects that we could hear. The objects seemed to be moving west-north-west. Wind was blowing east and there was a lightning storm visible to the north-east.

I ran inside the house to get our camera. When I came out with the camera, all but one of the objects had moved further west-north-west, making them appear below the tree line. My wife suggested that we follow the objects to get a better vantage point. We drove past the university heading west, and passed several people on the sidewalk looking and pointing up at the lights. My wife became very nervous at this point, and we abandoned the chase.

The lights disappeared a few minutes later. We then turned the car around and headed back toward town (we were approximately 1 mile west of town). As we drove into town, we saw a single orange light moving very fast in the same direction the other lights had gone.

The next day, I recounted the details to a friend, who said he also had seen the lights (and filmed a short video on his cell phone). He sent a copy to me which I am attaching. It's very poor quality.

We saw numerous people as we passed the university who were pointing at the objects.

Investigator's Notes:  I viewed video and as witness states, quality is very poor but objects can be seen, moving in a pattern.  Upon examination, it appears that the lights might possibly be individually attached to larger objects.

I am of the opinion the lights are not Chinese lanterns, or "flares".  The witness did state that a single light moving fast, in the direction  that the other lights had disappeared.

If someone else observed these lights over Kingsville, Texas, please report your sighting. Thanks. -SW

UFOs Dropping Off Robots At Tibet Border?

Mystery robot-bringing UFOs sighted by Indian troops on Tibet border
'Not necessarily from outer space', reports paper


(The Register) Mysterious UFOs have returned to a remote region on the Tibetan border, according to sightings by Indian troops stationed in the area. The UFOs, which have been reported for years, are said to have included a strange "robot like" figure seen by Indian scientists in 2004 walking along a mountain valley - which then "rapidly became airborne" and flew away.

We learn of the latest military sightings through the trenchant journalism of India Today, which says that Indian army troops and gendarmerie units of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) have been submitting reports of strange luminous airborne objects since the summer above the Ladakh region. Ladakh is a remote, mostly uninhabited but heavily militarised zone along the border with Tibet and China.

It seems that the Indian army has checked carefully and the UFOs in question are not manned or unmanned aircraft: these are routinely sighted in the area but can picked up on radar - unlike the UFOs. Indian army radars have been unable to track the strange shining objects. An unmanned aircraft despatched towards one UFO did sight it, but then "lost sight of the object".

According to India Today, the Indian government - stimulated to curiosity by the frequent reports from the military - despatched a scientific expedition to the region in September. The Indian boffins saw the UFOs but were unable to establish what they were.

The paper reports, magnificently:

    Scientists say the mysterious objects are not necessarily from outer space.

(In fact the sense of the boffins interviewed by IT was that there is no reason to think they are from outer space, but this is much better.)

We also learn that UFOs have been reported in the Ladakh region for many years, with the best of these reports coming from a group of Indian government scientists who were in the area in 2004 studying glaciers:

The international Space Station is easily the third brightest object in the sky, just after the sun and moon.  If you know when and where to look, you can easily identify it as it passes by.

NASA now has "Spot the Station" service, which will send you an email or phone text message, a few hours before the space station passes over your house.

I just signed up for it.  It easy! 

Simply go to Spot The Station ( http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ ), and choose your country, state and the closest city listed.  Supply your email address or phone number (SMS enabled phone required), then receive a code and finish registering.  That's it!

You can also choose the time of sightings your prefer, such as mornings, evenings, or anytime.

Or if you prefer, you can still go to NASA's Human Space Flight site and check the schedules.  Either way, enjoy!

"Ring Cloud" Object Morphs Over Granbury

A witness in Granbury reports an unusual UFO sighting.  He reports that he witnessed and photographed a ring cloud, which then morphed into a rectangle.

Granbury, Texas
10/21/2012

I was observing the meteor stragglers, from 4:00 Am till sunrise.
Around 5:15 or so, low clouds started to roll in and they were were very spread out.
The closer these clouds got to the Granbury lights, the more they were being illuminated.
I was getting ready to take one more twilight shot, in hopes of randomly catching a meteor (6:02 AM), when I noticed a perfectly round Ring Cloud slowly heading my way but it was still way too faint
for my cameras to pick it up.

This cloud was holding a perfect ringed circle, and all of a sudden it morphed into a perfect Rectangle.
I kept saying: "Oh my God" over and over again, because, this rectangular "ring" cloud did not fall apart at all! I watched the cloud travel across the sky for a solid 25 seconds and kept taking three second twilight exposures the entire time. Finally, after the rectangular cloud traveled across the sky for nearly 30 seconds and also spun in a complete 360 degree circle as well,  the cloud fell apart within a couple of seconds, then disappeared entirely.

I was still standing there, catching bugs with my mouth. Saying: "God, I hope I got that on film."

Fireballs Across Texas

Houston area sighting

I originally posted about an unusual sighting in Round Rock, Texas, which occurred on October 27, 2012. Since then, I have been receiving emails about the same, or similar sightings.

What these fireballs are, or their purpose (if any), I can't yet determine but I am investigating it.

Here is the link to the original report:
Update! Photos of Meteor-like Objects Over Round Rock, Texas - 10/27/2012

Taylor, Texas
October 27, 2012

Sunny,

My wife and I both witnessed this from Taylor. We also were seeing one change direction. Originally they were all headed north west from our perspective then the one farthest to the south change to a southerly direction.

I noted them when trying to describe the difference between a chem-trail and a con-trail.

I thought the moved in a uniform speed almost in a staggered sort of formation like jets with a wingman flying to the right rear of the lead but there were 3 for sure that we saw. The third was moving as if a wing man of the second. The last one is the one that changed directions. This is why it struck us the strange way it did.

They had an unusually short trail (comets not likely) \ tail (jets too short for a con trail in my opinion) depending on what it was. They were on the west side of that big chem trail we were both looking at.

I have a recent and extensive background in targeting for air and artillery delivered kinetic effects. I was a forward observer for the field artillery in the US Army so I know what artillery, mortars, and missiles look like in and have been trained on and actually controlled USAF aircraft to drop ordinance on targets from fast and slow moving planes. This did not appear to be either from my training.

Houston, Texas
October 29, 2012; 4:30 pm

Hello, my boyfriend and I spotted 2 very similar ones today as we were walking to our car in our apartment complex. But it wasn't just that! The day before we saw one come straight down in the same side of town and suddenly after watching it for a few minutes it vanished. About a week before that, we saw an exact replica of the light in the sky with the same tail right over us (and again in the exact same side of Houston) in the night sky!

It was around 4:30 central time and on the Spring Branch area in Houston. They actually fell for about 15 minutes, until it looked like the smaller light hit the bigger one and somehow managed to get it to fall straight down. After getting Into our car and trying to keep it in sight, it was a little bit before 5pm that we lost sight of it.

Forney, Texas
November 1, 2012; 7:40 am

Sunny,

A friend and I were standing outside this morning at 7:40, Thursday, November 1st and saw three lights northeast of Forney, Texas.  They actually looking like a plane trail but heading down instead of up or sideways.

I came on here and saw the pictures and that is exactly what we saw but they were headed more vertical and going downwards.  I had my cell but could not get them to show on any pictures but it was a very interesting sight to see.
