Object Shape:  Sphere
Summary: Glowing red lantern-like objects. They disappeared from the sky. 3 witnesses.

Report:
We were walking the dog, and noticed a strange red light floating toward us, followed by a second light. There was no sound. We are used to seeing airplanes but this was not the same path and was definitely not an airplane. It was much to low. Then, a black orb was observed crossing under the full moon. Just as quickly the red lights just disappeared into the night sky. We continued our walk home and suddenly two more lights appeared in the same path following each other in a straight line, they too disappeared. Fortunately, we ran into another dog walking neighbor and we pointed them out to him. He watched one as one disappeared. Our neighborhood loop is 4/10 of a mile. I was certain more were to follow but none came. They reminded us of a red lantern, but not aware of any celebrations in the area.

Object Features: Other
Object Flight Path: Path w/ directional change, hovering
Object Shape: Fireball, Sphere
Summary: Glowing orange ball, hovering in pattern over Clear Lake, changing directions

Report:
Was telling some friends goodbye, after an evening of boating. Noticed an unusual orange glowing ball hovering over Clear Lake. Watched this for about 3 minutes, making move changes, but no noise whatsoever. Approx. range was a mile and one half. After several direction changes it disappeared. About 30 minutes later, the same object appeared in the same area, but a little further East. We observed it for a couple of minutes.Then it disappeared, like before. This was 10 times bigger than any other aviation light, we have seen in the area. We are used to seeing Coast guard helicopter and various other airplanes at the same altitude. This was definitely strange and different.

MUFON Case # 45901
Date of Sighting: 02/25/2013
Time of Sighting: 10:03 UTC
Location: Houston, Texas
Viewing Distance: Unknown
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features: Other
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape:     Other
Summary: was moving things into storage and friend looked up and saw an object in the sky.

Report:
we were moving supplies into storage of our workplace. we were all in a tennis stadium so we pretty much had a 180 degree look of the sky. as i was placing somthing down on the ground my coworker said look and i looked up but didnt see anything. then he said look, look right here. thought he was just trying to make me look up for a joke but then he said look its an object. then i finally spotted it and it was a dull silver peanut looking object spinning at a medium rate of spee, going in a straight path. at first i thought of all possibilities of what it could be, a ballon but a ballon would more rather kinda float wobbly and keep rising. then i dismissed it as a airplane or helicopter, it had no wings or propellers. it was a constant spinning in a straight path and everytime it spun the sun would reflect off of it. was a dull silver till the sun would hit it, shined really bright when it did shine. Then as it finally passed under the sun, it may sound stupid but i looked down for a bit cause the sun was hurting my eyes then looked right back up, it was gone. when i first saw it, i immediately knew it was nothing i have never seen, and kept my eyes on it for the most part, till it disappeared. i was kinda in lost of words and in a gaze the whole time. my coworkers kept questioning what it was. lastly i lost sight of it as i explained earlier when i looked down to refocus my eyes. thank you for your time.

MUFON Case # 45945
Location: Baytown, Texas
Date of Sighting: 02/27/2012
Time of Sighting: 03:10 UTC
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Sighting Duration: 30 seconds
Object Features: Unknown
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape:     Cigar
Summary: 10+ lights strung in a line heading from SE to NW,no sound, lights intensity and positions varied

Report:
I woke up at approx 3.00am, used the restroom and was looking out of a large window which has a view of Cotton Lake and beyond to Trinity Bay in Chambers county, I noticed lights approaching over the lake from the southeast. The lights 10 to 20 were configured in a cigar shaped line, moving rapidly, heading in a northwest direction. At first I thought it may be a group of helicopters, we often see helicopters doing night maneuvers in this area. As the lights got closer I realized that they were not helicopter or aircraft lights. The lights were white/blue and varied continously in intensity and position in the line, it was hard to judge how far away the object or objects were from me, there was no sound associated.I last saw the lights as they pasted on the northeast side of my home. I wondered if I was seeing a meteor shower, but the sighting lasted about 30 seconds and was not moving as rapidly as I would expect for meteor, it also appeared to be close

MUFON Case # 45915
Location: Anahuac, Texas
Date of Sighting: 02/26/2013
Time of Sighting: 05:00 UTC
Viewing Distance: Over One Mile
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features: Unknown
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape:     Disc
Summary: Strange Object Traveling Slowly Through Morning Sky

Report:
It was about 5:00 a.m. and once again I stepped outside for a smoke. I noticed an object flying through the sky which I assumed was a plane, due to the aviation lights I saw on it. But after a few minutes I noticed it was moving too slow to be a plane, that and the aviation lights (there were three, two blue ones on either end and a red one in the middle of the object) were blinking randomly, not in any order at all. I watched it as it flew over me and that was when I noticed that it didn't have any wings, it was completely disc like. I was in shock because I have never seen a UFO in such detail. Here's the weird part though. I was completely transfixed by this object, forgot I was even smoking a cigarette and watched it as it flew over the tree line and out of view completely. I hate that I didn't have my phone with me so I could take a picture, but I even wonder if I would have being so transfixed on this object. I didn't even think about taking a picture of it until I had come back inside. From now on my phone stays with me and one way or another I am going to take a picture of the objects I have been seeing lately.

1976 UFO Sighting In Roswell, New Mexico

A witness recounts his 1976 UFO sighting in Roswell, New Mexico.

[This report is unedited.]

MUFON Case # 34666
Date:    1976-08-01
Status:    Assigned
City:    Roswell
State:    New Mexico
Shape:    Egg
Distance:    One mile or less
Summary:    Figured its time to tell what I saw in Roswell .. approx summer of 1976

Report:
I was 23 yrs old at the time and was walking home to a friend of mine and his parents house who were kind enough to let me stay with them. I was almost midnight and I was walking west on the north side of Yucca Junior High just a few houses away from where I was going. I believe the street is Tilden. There were two people walking towards me (a little bit older couple .. walking east) approx 20 feet in front of me .. when all of a sudden a very large (larger than a full moon) slightly egg shaped object flew over at about a 75 degree angle coming from the southwest headed northeast ... glowing a very strange lumenecently white light with absolutely no sound. When I saw it .. of course I was Awwed and a dumbstruck and totally gawking at it while it passed over head. It crossed the sky in no more than 5 seconds. It was hard to tell just how big it was or how high up it was, but Im guesstimating a couple of thousand feet maybe. I could have been as big as a football field and higher up or smaller and lower down. Dimension and height were just not decernable. I started to ask the people who were in front of me now (within 5 feet by now) if they saw that .. but they were looking at me like I was crazy and obviously I figured they never even saw it or they wouldnt have been looking at me; Instead theyd been looking up at it, so I didnt bother saying anything to them. I just continued walking totally amazed at what had just happened to me. Im 57 yrs old now and although some other things have happened to me in my life (I will not go into) this has been the only prominent sighting I have had. I live in Amarillo TX and am always going back and forth to Roswell on a regular basis (weekly, monthly) so I always keep my eye to the sky. Over the years I have spoken with many ol timers and have heard many strange stories. I even met a man who was in the Airforce(stationed at Roswell)at the time of the 47 crash and he told me It happened and he knew the nurse personally who saw the greys .... So thats my story after 34 years I decided to share it with you. What it comes down to is everyone is a skeptic untill you see one close up for the first time and then you KNOW something IS GOING ON ! SEEING IS BELIEVING ! ...... thankyou .. B A

Texas UFO Sightings Increase, October, 2011

Towards the end of October, 2011 in the state of Texas, UFO sightings reports have started to increase.
Here are several reports that have recently been submitted to MUFON.


Note: These reports are unedited.


MUFON Case # 32913
Date:    2010-09-10
Time:    00:00
Status:    Assigned
City:    Plainview
State:    Texas
Shape:    Unknown
Distance:    Over one mile
Summary:    It was moving West to East , making no noise, no strobe lights.

Report:
I was at a friends house in Plainview Tx. I was outside having a smoke, when I noticed an object moving East just to the north of me. The object could not have been more than 15,000 feet up. It had 3 very bright lights amber in color but no strobes like an airplane or helo which caught my attention. The object made no sound what so ever. I could not make out the shape of object even though it was a clear night. The object moved in a straight line never changing direction or altitude and kept a steady speed slower than a commercial jet. I watched the object for approximately 5 minutes till it went out of sight over other houses. I was in shock cause I have never seen a UFO before. I'm still trouble by what I saw. Since that sighting I have had another approx a month or two later at approx the same time in a different city 50 miles south of Plainview. I'm at a loss for what I have seen. Even scared at times, and watch the skies constantly.

MUFON Case # 32924
Date:    2009-01-14
Time:    19:04
Status:    Assigned
City:    Mission
State:    Texas
Shape:    Sphere
Distance:    One mile or less
Summary:    very bright sperical light moving slowly then hovering and then moving

Report:
It was about 7:00 in the evening of Jan,14,2009, I was at work at the Sharyland Water plant, alone with no witnesses, there were automobiles passing by on the road but I do not know if any body was paying attentionand i was in an elevated position about 12 foot or so above the road. I noticed the object because of the powerful light it was emitting, not a beam but more like a solid light with a slight aura, pure white with no other colors. It was moving slowly from a position south east of mine, approximately 200 degrees or so, moving slightly south/southwest along treetop level. the trees in the video are about 500 to 1000 feet from were I was shooting the video from, so this is what I used to estimate distance to the objects location, though I can not eliminate the possibility that it may have been further south than I estimated, it did appear to be illuminating the trees slightly and the effect is visible in the clip. it continued moving along its path and appeared to hover in position for a short period of time, then continued its south/south west course. until it was to far behind the trees to be seen any more. duration of sighting was about 3-4 minutes. I was excited somewhat, but since I have been researching UFO activity since i was 9 years old, I was not overwhelmed by the sighting,I have continued to see the object, though never as close as it was in this video. and have more video of the object that i have shot since that time up until a few weeks ago. I believe this is the same object or objects.

MUFON Case # 32937
Date:    1995-05-21
Time:    03:30
Status:    Assigned
City:    Dallas
State:    Texas
Shape:    Oval,Other
Duration:    00:05:00
Distance:    One mile or less
Summary:    A giant football glowing a very dull orangish rusty color.

Report:
I smoked then,and got up in the middle of the night to go onto the patio to have a cigarette. As I stood there enjoying the smoke, and the quiter part of a Dallas night, just off I-635W., I just happened to be checking out the sorta low clouds. Then, off to my left, towards Mesquite, I saw this giant football of a thing, come silently gliding through that layer of low clouds.
No Sound at all. Travelling probably 100+/- MPH., no more. Looked to be exactly like an old pigskin, except it was about forty or so feet across, and about fiffty five or sixty feet long, in my estimation. It was not brightly lit, and had NO lighting visible to me. BUT,while it was a dirty rusty reddish-orange color, it actually glowed as it did that. Now, remembering it better, I recall thinking that it was "camoflauged".

No wings. No externally visible anything. And it never once varied it's altitude, or it's straight path. It just kept right on, straight as an arrow, and quiet as a mouse. Again, I was pretty interested, but what's a guy to do? I just yawned and went back inside and crawled into bed, wondering when these pilots are going to let us in on their real secrets.

MUFON Case # 32938
Date:    2011-10-21
Status:    Assigned
City:    El Paso
State:    Texas
Shape:    Circle,Disc
Distance:    One mile or less
Summary:    Glowing blue spinning and moving rapidly. disappearing and reapearing a amile away instantaneously.

Report:
I was in the backyard throwing balls to my dog. I live on the eastern side of the mountain in El Paso, Texas. Suddenly, I observed a bright glowing blue flying object over the mountain in an area that is not accessible. No roads, rugged terrain. It was moving quickly and different directions and even seemed to flip. It disappeared and instantaneously appeared so far south that nothing human could do that. It then appeared in the original location instantaneously again. There was nothing in the sky, as in planes, helicopters, etc. There was no way a human could have been flashing some kind of light there.

Humble, Texas - Photographs of Unknowns?

These photographs were submitted to MUFON, by a witness in Humble, Texas.  I only cropped them to show a bit more detail. -SW


MUFON Case #  27228
Date/Time:    2010-12-23 00:00
Location:    Humble, Texas
Shape:    Chevron,Egg
Vallee Index:    AN1
Summary:    Jets creating contrails, I took pictures. And egg (?) shaped object showed, after a chevron shaped glow in the clouds showed up. Photographed them.

I was at my workplace in the Humble area, came out the back door for a cigarette break. Noticed a very clear sky with several white jets creating contrails. Visible in the early pics (around 2:00 pm). I took a few shots just out of curiosity.

About 2 hours later, I came out and the contrails had turned into heavy cloud cover with a visible contrail jet still flying over. I took a few more pics, but did notice the odd glowing chevron shape above me. Took some pics.

Later uploaded to computer and adjusted contrast (only) to see better detail, if any. I did not see the small egg shaped object when taking the pics. The chevron was just hovering/floating there but couldn't observe for a long time, I was at work.

The chevron struck me as an oddity and of course my mind started running on the reaction between the contrails creating cloud cover and this odd shape appearing overhead. Who knows.

I am a digital designer by profession and I swear that nothing was re-touched or altered other than increased contrast and adding the red circles to highlight the anomaly. Not even sure it was an object but it sure grabbed my attention. I am an avid skywatcher and have seen about 2o ufo's through the years. Sadly, never had a camera to record anything.

These were taken with an iPhone4 at HD.

The pics are numbered as originally still on the iPhone, in the order they were shot. The first set of pics lapsed maybe 3-4 mins. The second set (4:00pm) were rapid fire.

I uploaded the ones highlighting the objects(?) or whatever they are but all of the originals are available upon request. The archive is 37mb compressed, as they are HD.
