Cigar Shaped Object Seen North of Breckenridge, Texas- April 7, 2017

Click on an image for larger view.



****************************

Time: 13:22
Location: Breckenridge, TX looking North.
Shape: Cigar
Duration: Approx. 5 seconds

I saw an unidentified craft this afternoon. It went from shiny white to smokey black in an instant. I managed to get one picture before it completely disappeared.
It was not an airplane.

I was letting my dogs in and head a small prop plane.  While I was looking for the small plane, I saw a glint of light to my North.  The sound of the small plane disappeared (I assume it was landing at the county airport, south of (behind) me, because when I heard it, it sounded directly overhead.

I focused on the bright white object and saw that it was a cigar shape with no wings.  It also made no sound and it was moving faster than a commercial jet at that altitude.

I ran and grabbed my camera but by the time I had it focused, the bright object was gone and only a shadowy form appeared.   That is what is in the photos above.  I enlarged and cropped the image to see it better.

I received this comment about a cigar-shaped UFO, which was observed on October 7, 2016 over Douglasville,Georgia, U.S.A.
Here it is.


Report from comment:
Saw this exact craft on 10/7/16 over Douglasville, Ga. About 3,000 ft, moving about 200 knots. Flew into an opening in the clouds and then back into the clouds. Also had the misty aura around the exterior. I'm a retired Air Traffic Controller and know what a airplane looks like. This was no airplane! I saw this craft a 1:10 pm also?

The witness refers to the reported sighting from Dallas, TX.

MUFON Case # 49362
Belton, TX
06-10-2006
12:00AM    
[flg] Boomerang-shaped UFO camouflaged among the stars, flies like a boomerang but in a straight path overhead.


Report:
One friday night shortly after graduating high school, a couple of friends and I went to a "party" in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Belton, Texas. My friend "Mark" went inside the house to drink, while my friend "Emma" and I stayed outside to talk, not interested in joining the party (we did not care for the people that were there). Emma and I stayed outside to hang out and let down somebodys truck tailgate so we could sit inside the bed of the truck. We spent an hour talking to each other and eventually laid down looking up at the stars, trying to pass the time. When I started to get a little sleepy, I noticed what seemed like a cluster of stars in the sky moving together in unison. I focused in on the moving stars and noticed the cluster was shaped like a boomerang, and was revolving like a boomerang, but flying very slowly in a straight path. Soon after I began looking at this object, Emma asked if I was seeing the same thing she was. I had not realized that anything was out of the ordinary until she acknowledged that she was seeing the same thing moving across the sky. The object was camouflaged among the stars and one probably would not have seen it unless he/she was focused in on that specific part of the sky, just as we had been while laying down in the back of the truck looking up at the stars. The object had no visible outline, but its shape was only distinguishable from the lights it had on it. The lights did not blink, nor were they different colors. It looked exactly like a cluster of stars shaped like a boomerang, revolving very, very slowly across the sky in one direction. I was amazed seeing the object and was not scared at all. I believe Emma felt the same way. The object slowly flew across the sky until trees blocked it from our view.

MUFON Case # 49432
Dallas, TX
08-02-2013
9:40PM    
[flg] Triangle in sky with three white lights. Two lights in back pulsating.


Report:
We were on our way to Dallas, TX.
I was in the backseat of the car, while my grandparents were in the front.
We were about 20-30 minutes away from Dallas, and were away from the city. Sort of in a woods area on the highway, nothing but mainly trees. No stores or anything. I was looking outside the window, just looking at the stars. The sky was a very dark navy blue color. Then I saw the UFO. It seemed to be going slower than what a plane would go in the sky. It was a triangle shape, with 3 bright white lights on each tip. The two lights in the back pulsated. I knew it was triangular shaped, because the 3 lights were at the tips of the triangle, and I could see the pitch-black triangle shape, against the dark navy-blueish sky. Im not sure how big the object couldve been, but from what I can remember, it seemed far away. Kind of like if you were holding a penny up, thats how big it could be in the sky. I was really stunned. Im still wondering what it could be.. I finally lost sight if the object after a couple minutes, because the car was driving forward, and the UFO was going the opposite direction we were moving in.. Has anyone seen a UFO like that? Im really curious and really do want answers.. Thanks.

Kingsland, TX

{cak} Unknown Object at very high altitude over Kingsland Texas on 08/03/2013


Report:
On Saturday, 08/03/2013, I was sitting outside on our deck with my wife. We both, about the same time saw a glowing object to the southwest of our location. The object was at a very high altitude and moving to the Northeast very fast. At first we thought maybe military but the size was too big. Maybe an astroid. The object continued on an approximate heading of 075 degrees until we lost sight as the object was lost in the terminator. The object was high enough that the only light we were able to see was the reflection of the sun off of the object. I asked my wife if she saw any strobes, she did not. I saw no strobes either.

{cak} I was asleep then woke up in space.


Report:
I was sleeping I don't know if this happen at night are morning. Anyway all of a sudden I awoke. I was in outer space I did not have a body are I did not see a body. But there I was. I done know what was holding me up but felt like I was being held up by something. In my head I was being told not to look to my left. It felt like a being are something was beside me but kept telling me not to look. Anyway straight ahead there was earth I was being shown South America for some reason. Beyond earth there was the moon. I looked up there were a billion stars as far as I could see. I have seen stars in the sky but not like this. I remember a slight breeze blowing my bangs I dont know where the wind was coming from but it was a slight breeze. When I woke up I was back in my bed and remembered all of the above. Everybody I have told has laughed at me. Every thing I saw was in color. I dont think you dream in color. If it was a dream it was so vivid that was a year ago. I remembered it as if it was yesterday. I know I felt happy and in awh of the heavens and the earth and moon. Beautiful is an understatement. I bet there was more to this but what ever enity wipe out some of my memory and only let me remember this. Please dont laugh this is a true story. I will take a polygraph test or be hypnotized. I want to know more myself.

Austin, TX

8:50PM    
[flg] Solid Lightsource with no sound flying in a straight line.


Report:
1. Where were you and what were you doing at the time?

On my back porch smoking a cigarette

2. What made you first notice the object?

Its bright and stands out, this isnt the first time ive seen it, ive noticed it a handful of times over time usually after the sun goes down until the sun goes up, appears to be random times but always the same direction and object type.

3. What did you think the object was when you first noticed it?

Honestly I have no idea im ex-us army medic im used to seeing planes and helicopters but this dosent blink or make noise or have any discernible features.

4. Describe the object and its actions and motions in detail.

Solid Light making no sound traveling from west to east at approx. 500 ft - 700ft up never changed direction or appearance.

5. Describe your feelings, reactions and actions, during and after sighting the object.

Not the first time ive seen this, its interesting and would like to figure out what it is. I lack the equipment to better observe this object and filter out the light its emmiting.

6. How did you lose sight of the object?

It just continued east at the same speed and went beyond my sight eventually event lasted around 7 minutes. Same as all the other times.

[flg] star like object observed traveling south of Marshall, Tx fm rd 1186


Report:
A bright star like object was observed by several of us in the immediate area traveling from the west to the east towards the Louisiana border from south of Marshall, Tx. Looking at the object, the white light was the brightest in the center of it....and the object had to have had at least 8 or 10 sides on it because of the way the light in the center glowed around the perimeter. There was no sound coming from the object.

{cak} flatlike shape with no sounds moving slow towards southeast


Report:
I was taking pictures out side for a math project when I looked up and saw something strange in the sky. I took a picture of it and continued to watch it as it moved slowly in a diagonal line to the right and slightly up. The object seemed to be high up and far away. After watching it for a few seconds a tree obstructed my view of the object and I went inside to look at the picture. The object was flat and appeared to have lights on the bottom. I was surprised at what I had captured and was very curious to know what it was.

{cak} Thought it was a bug but then it was clear we were seeing something intelligent


Report:
1. Sitting on my friends porch with her and her husband, looking northeast, I see a slow moving "shooting star" going southwest and say so. It disappears behind a tree, both her and hubby say they missed it. I spot it again on the other side of the large tree, point it out, they see it. Friend says it looks like a bug but then it goes behind a tall light transformer and changes all of our perspectives of what we were seeing. Coming out from the tree outline to begin with was now heading evenly northwest. It was moving slow enough for us to talk about it as we were watching it. It was moving out of our sight distance when suddenly it changed direction again to the direct north and finally went out of our sight, fading in light. And so it was gone.

2. Thought it was a shooting star.

3. See above.

4. See first answer.

5. Incredulous at what we were seeing.

6. It moved out of our sight distance.

{cak} I looked up it was moving silently South to North a mile or so east of me.


Report:
Putting the dogs out back door. As always was scanning the sky for something different. It was a white orb moving from South to North, slightly to my east. Moving with total silence. It seemed to be cruising pretty slow. It disappeared within 5 min.I have been seeing them for as long as I have been in the Highland Lakes Area, 30 years. I believe there to be an observing UFO Between Lake LBJ and Lake Travis, many years.

{cak} didnt see one


Report:
It happens when Im asleep. Dont know when it was but I remember falling asleep and my husband was in the front room watching tv. I remember I was lying on my left side when I fell asleep I had this sharp pain on my back and it felt like someone was drilling on my right lower part something was telling me not to move but talking to me telepathically. It kept saying overand over ddont move cause the light will go out the pain was so bad I remember moving my shoulder to see what they were doing and as soon as I woke up after that the power went out in my house I culdnt get up cause I couldnt believe it was happening. I waited for about 5 secs I got up to open my down and see if my husband was ok and he asked what just happened. I didnt think anything of it so I went back to bed. I keep have these out of body experiences and seeing this tall hooded figure standing by my bed looking at me. Then I stared to right down all the dreams I would have and some of my dreams would be having intercourse with man I can never see it happened a couple of times. And recently on july 6th when my husband was getting ready for work at 4 in the morning I got ip made him his lunch he left when I went back to bed a had a dream that I was giving birth and there was 3 tall figures standing in front of me the one that was right in front of me delivering my baby was wearing a white coat. I gave birth to the baby and I remember them cutting the umbilical cord and it almost looked like on the avitar movie when he put his hair in the horse and those tentacles was wrapping around his hair. After I woke up my stomach was hurting I went to the bathroom and I was gushing out blood. That morning I went outside and there was a large burnt mark on my grass in my back yard. Since that day I havent experienced anything else but I do have pains on my right abdomen area. I took a photo like 1 week later but grass was stating to grow back by then. I also have strange markings on my upper thigh.

[flg] Bright light warp drive into space leaving a tracer.


Report:
I was on my back porch, I noticed right below cloud cover, off in the horizen a unusual bright light. It appeared as a star at first glance. The object hovered for around 10-15 seconds. The ufo appeared to be powering up its warp drive. The object got extremely bright the last 5 seconds of hovering then ejected itself from earth in a curved path heading away from earth. It left a tracer behind it that slowly faded away. It was mabey 3 seconds of tracer before it faded. I couldnt see where the object itself went after that due to the cloud cover . The clouds themself were overhead clouds with gaps in it were the night sky could be seen. Yet the clouds did not obstruct the horizon sky north of my position either.

{kt}twice i disappeared reappeared in front of 2 very credible witnesses, can i report it here?


Report:
please note, aside from these, 2 ppl from my high school have told me 1 in person, 1 on fb, that they observed UFOs here in el paso, texas. i do not know the details of their sightings

this is the email i sent to my cousin, [Name removed/cms/tg], who is a theoretical physicist at Harvard but has never entertained my questions. Hes a busy guy, i understand. Please help me? I fear this is going to cost me yet another relationship, but if you could please contact my boyfriend and get more details from him, as he was the one who witnessed it, perhaps he will feel more supported because hes a very prominent lawyer and i know ppl were giving him a really hard time because of this stuff that is happening with me. Please pray for me? n contact him? his name is [Name. Phone Number, Email and web address removed/cms/tg]
he wrote me letters stating he would gladly discuss my situation with anyone, so i had his permission to share his name with you. please contact him soon? u know us ppl that get the visitations, we dont have to keep losing relationships just because we volunteered to do this in the between lives state...

hello cousin, hope u r well? con mucha pena te pido poco de informacion or even just insight?

twice now, once in front of my niece alicia, n another in front of my now latest ex bf. a very prominent lawyer here in El paso, i was there, then i disappeared, then reappeared.

the details:
both events happened very similarly. one time with my exbf at his condo. the other with my niece here in my studio aprt. we fell asleep. my exbf woke up and shook the blankets, pillows, checked around, called my name, finally left that room but there is no way you can leave that room without locking yourself out. and his condos layout is such that you HAVE to bump into whoever is coming or going. well after looking for me he checked the hallway adjacent to the room, wakled right back in the room, and there i was, waking up in the bed he had just checked.

alicia was staying with me while visiting from cali. i knocked down all the walls cuz i wanna install survieilance cams. so there is nowhere to hide. so same thing, we fall asleep, she wakes up and i am nowhere to be found. here the doors also lock from inside and the dogs make lots of noise if anyone goes outside. she looks for me, even behind furniture, and not even the bathroom had a door cuz im remodeling. she falls back asleep then wakes up and there i am.

i told em both maybe it wasnt me that left, maybe they were the ones taken somewhere else.

cousin, i have been admitting myself to the psychiatric ward for almost two years now and this last round of chemical labodomy has left me more toda babotas like drooling onmyself practically and i am worrried that they are not even understanding that these two very legit, credible ppl experienced this with me. therefore, i am not "hallucinating." those are just 2 strange events. weirder stuff happens when im alone, but these two i at least have solid witnesses for.

u r theoretical physicist that studies mass, right? do u have any suggestions as to what could be happening? i see beings, and i feel them like checking me biologically and we communicate, but for this i do not have proof.

if you want to know more or want to verify that i am not bsing you, teh lawyer is [Name and Phone Number removed/cms/tg]
[link moved to additional evidence section/CMS/kt]

i ask for your help because this is like very awe inspiring but i am sad that it wrecked yet another relationship of mine in teh sense that ppl start getting scared of me. cuz im kida creepy. any info would be great amigo, and even moreso if u could call my ex n tell him who u r n just get his version or something? i know u r busy, i would never bother you were it not super important in terms of science, not even cuz its for me.

thank u thank u thank u primo,

MUFON Case # 49964
Palmview, TX

2:01AM    
4 in a trapezoidal pattern, one other following. lights gradually dimmed to nothing
   

Report:
I was sitting outside on the balcony when I heard my neighbors talking about something in the sky. I finally noticed something about a minute later coming from behind the trees. It was four glowing lights in a trapezoidal formation traveling in a north westerly direction. As I was viewing them a fifth light appeared behind the original four. It was centered in back of the original four. They were all a bright reddish-orange color and did not blink. The light came from a bright center, gradually dimming outwards and appeared spherical. They appeared like a flash like from a camera but it was constant. It was not a satellite as I have seen those before. I did not notice any type of indicator lights like you would normally see on an airplane. The lights then dimmed to practically nothing. All I could see was a very small pinpoint of light.

I noticed them as I was facing east at about a 45 degree angle up from due east. They traveled without changing formation until I was facing due north still at about 45 degrees up from north. I took around ten minutes for them to travel from first sighting to last light out.

A few minutes later I noticed an airplane flying in the same direction at a higher rate of speed than the object was travelling.

*

One of the best times to witness a UFO is during a Fourth of July celebration, and this year did not disappoint.

Not everyone reports what they've seen but some witnesses have.  Dozens of reports have come in to MUFON and here are just a few examples from Texas and other parts of the nation.

Please Note:  These reports were submitted to MUFON and are re-posted here, unedited.

Weather Factors: Unknown
Summay:    The object flew across the sky changing flight paths abruptly and elevation and color also changed

Report:
The object was first spotted through my windshield as I approached a fill in station, I watched the object cross the night sky and was amazed how its color and speed and lack of flashing lights drew my children and myself in. I was hoping that the object be just a helicopter or plane but the longer we examined what was in the sky the more clear it became that we could not explain what we were seeing. I filled my vehicle with fuel and headed to the hotel in which we were sleeping for the night which was about 5-8 miles from the gas station. As we approached the hotel we noticed the object again and this time we had time to stand outside the vehicle and try and get video footage with my iphone and ended up with a little over 3 minutes of footage of the object changing colors,elevation and direction within seconds. The object had strange patterns of flight path and colors and was extremly fast but could stop on a dime and remain stationary prior to redirecting and/or changing colors. AMAZING!!!

Report:
At 9:13 I noticed a flashing white and blue orb for about 32 seconds then kept seeing 2 green orbs flying somewhat side by side for about 4 minutes. I was watching the orchestra perform and spotted them overhead. Since I have had 2 other UFO sightings, I immediately knew there were UFOs. The green orbs were moving very randomly everywhere until they disappeared. The blue and white flashing orb was flashing very rapidly and was not flashing in any sequence. Since I have seen UFOs before I was not frightened or disturbed in any way. I lost the green orbs as they departed west into the treetops. I lost the orb when it disappeared into the trees. ( Not shown in film)

We were all sitting outside to watch fireworks because it was the 4th of July, and a friend and I were on a waterslide and saw this bright object. So we go and get out family and it was bright green flying North, then we pointed at it, and it started coming torwards us, and turned red. After a few seconds of watching it, the object turned neon blue, and split into 2 objects It only lasted for a few seconds before it returned into one big green and red object. My uncle syarted recording it but the video only came out as a tiny white ball thay gradually becomes larger as it flew over our house. Once over the house we ran to thw front door, and within 2 seconds it was very far. So everyone but a few people went inside and as we were talking about it, we started hearing a weird peircing noise that gradually became louder and started to sound like soundwaves. It would go in one ear and out the other and it made us just sit their for a few seconds before we jumped up to get the rest of the family. Once we all calmed down we went outiside at about 3 am. Nothing more happened, but it was a very weird inncident! Nobody of the people that experienced it really believed in aliens, but we are firm believers. now

Report:
Was watching Town Fireworks Display at approximately 9 PM and noticed this very bright object that was definitely not Fireworks related. It had a flight path and came in from the West and circled the area, then flew back toward the West and I observed it until it was out of sight. It was circular in shape, although not a perfect circle. It glowed a very bright Orange which pulsated to a very bright Red aura around it. I did not mention it to anyone else because I was afraid that they would think I saw Fireworks and was mistaken.

MUFON Case # 48686
Location: Exton, Pennsylvania
Date of Sighting: 07/04/2013
Time of Sighting: 09:25 UTC
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile, Over 1 Mile
Sighting Duration: 00:10:00
Object Features: None
Object Flight Path: Hovering then path,Path with directional change
Object Shape:     Cylinder
Weather Factors: Unknown
Summary: Flaming red cigar shaped object

Report:
Walking outside to attempt to get fireworks photographs from a dark field near residence. Partner and I observed an object in the southwest that appeared to be a firework at first, but soon realized the object was hovering. There were active fireworks to the south and some small fireworks in the community area adjacent to the park. The object hung in the sky literally for a couple minutes, which ruled out the possibility that it was a rocket type firework. The object then moved almost directly above as it traveled very slowly to the northeast from our location. When the object came closer, it was apparent the object appeared to be on fire and had a cylinder type shape to it. The object then continued slowly to the northeast and according to my partner it took an abrupt 90 degree turn in the sky (which I did not observe) and it was gone. The initial spotting of the object was about 21:25 and the even lasted to about 21:35. Personal Observations: 1. I initial thought the object was a rocket/firework. 2. The object's bright red coloration was the first thing that we observed. 3. The object appeared completely out of place in the area. The height of the object appeared to be the same height as planes that are coming in from the west that travel east along the glide path for commercial aircraft that land in Philadelphia International Airport. 4. Lost sight of object as it traveled Northeast. In my opinion it was literally gone in a flash. 5. Gut reaction after realizing the object was not a firework was it's a UFO! 6. I have seen a number of commercial and private aircraft fly above, and none had a solid red color on them that appeared like flames. There were no navigational lights or landing lights.

MUFON Case # 48703

Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features: None
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape:     Circle, Triangle
Weather Factors: Unknown
Summary: Multiple lights in string formation & also large triagnle of lights, 3 lights of triangle

Report:
4th of July, Pittsburgh PA - downtown on "South Shore" for fireworks. After fireworks were complete we were leaving Station Square, a plaza of restaurants, shops and hotels on the waterfront and that's were the lights came into view. The lights appeared in the East, fireworks had been set off in the West. The lights were over the hills to the east/southeast. I observed a "string" of yellow/orange/red lights with a cluster of lights at one end. I pulled out my phone and told my family to look up. They also saw the lights. I stopped walking and took as many pictures with the camera in my phone as possible. I would walk a few feet and stop to take a picture, the lights appeared to be moving also. The string of lights appeared to descend behind the hills except a few as I walked and stopped. I could not continually watch the lights while I walked. The cluster disappeared and only a couple remained and seemed smaller than what I originally observed. There were thousands of people going to the same parking lot as we were but no one seemed to be observing what was going on in the sky. I kept telling my husband and kids to look up. The last observation I made was of a triangle shape of three lights. It was moving North in line behind a couple of the smaller circular lights. I stood still while the triangle passed overhead. The three lights moved as if attached to a structure, slow moving, silent. The lights moved at the same time, together. I told my husband to look up again and I said " that looks like those lights are attached to some type of craft but I could not see any body of a craft, just dark between the lights. No stars were visible, Pittsburgh and surrounding areas had been under cloud cover for at least seven days. No rain, no lightning at time of observation. No planes or other conventional aircraft were observed at the same time as the lights. Photos attached, enlarge to view lights.

Report:
I was watching a firework show. When it ended I went to call my dad and then i realized that everyone was looking up at the sky. I turned to look and I saw it. At first I thought it was a firework ember that was still lit. But it wasn't falling like one would. It was descending but very slowly. Then I was afraid it was some kind of meteor or comet that was heading towards us and I drove forward thinking I would get out of the way of it. Then I realized it wasn't far away like I originally thought. It was very close. Possibly a few feet above the building we were next to. It was very bright and orange. It floated towards the building and then disappeared behind it. When we drove around the building to try and see it... it was gone.

Lights And Oval Object Observed Near Floydada, Texas, 06-06-2013




Below is an account from a witness in Floydada, Texas who reported their sighting to MUFON.  The report is posted here, unedited.


MUFON Case # 48111    
Floydada, TX
6-6-2013-06-13 
Shape: Circle, Cylinder, Orb, Oval 
Summary: observed about 60 horizonal red lights in row blinking simultainiously then 6-10 bright white vertical lights flashing upward in sequence from the red light field, later appeared a round object in front with several rows of white lights around it

Report:   
We were traveling home from the Lubbock area after a doctor visit on June 6th, 2013, heading East on Hwy 62 moving between Floydada in Floyd County and Matador in Motley County just after 10:30 pm. We had stopped in Floydada for gas at 10:25 pm. I was driving the speed limit of 75 mph with the cruise control on.
It was very dark because there was a new moon. My husband, first saw the red lights to the South of the highway. It was a huge field of bright sequentially blinking bright red lights and it was a little ahead of our position.
My husband said to me "Look at all those bright red lights. It doesnt look like any kind of airfield Ive ever seen, besides this is Floydada. No airfields this large around here." Then I looked and commented that I didnt think airfields had rows of bright red blinking lights. Then he said "They are blinking sequentially."
We were only about a few of miles outside Floydada heading East. There were about 60 to 100 of these red lights in horizontal rows blinking simultaneously about a mile in length and about tree height above the plains. Then suddenly we noticed that we were alongside parallel to the field of red lights, just about in the middle. My husband was telling me excitedly about this as I looked over and saw the same thing. It was parallel with us.
A few minutes after seeing the red light field become parallel to us, we then saw 6 to 10 bright white vertical lights appear within the red light field flashing upward in sequence. However, the white light "pillars" were not in sinc with the red lights. These vertical white lights continued for several minutes and then vanished.
Since I was driving, my husband kept his eyes on the objects. I was looking as much as possible. The objects traveled parallel with us for about 10 to 15 miles continuously then slowed a bit so we were ahead about a quarter mile or so. Then suddenly they were back parallel to us.
By now we were discussing how we were certain that this was and event like nothing either of us had ever encountered before and that these were something unknown and extraordinary. We were not afraid and did not have any feeling of urgency or anything. I wanted to pull over and watch but my husband was so tired and wanted to continue home.
Then, however, another large object just appeared in front of the red light field. It was a round object, not a sphere but a very large circle or large cylindrical shape, flat on top and bottom, out in front of the field of red lights still blinking simultaneously. The round object had several rows of bright white light panels rotating around it. It appeared to be rotating slowly. This was all totally bazaar!
These followed along parallel to us for another 10 miles or so until we came to the canyons of the Cap-rock off the plains where the highway cut into the canyons and blocked the view.
We both think and talk about this almost constantly. It was incredible to see such a thing! We had to tell you about this.
I am an amateur painter and I am attempting to paint the scene. I wont be able to do it justice.

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.

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

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.

Fishermen have daytime sighting of cylindrical UFO over Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir near Waco, Texas

Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir, located East of Waco, Texas.
Red circled area indicates location of witnesses at time of sighting.
Image courtesy Google Maps. Click to enlarge.

*
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.

*Note: The images provided were too small, so I used Google Maps to show the area of sighting. -SW

     *

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.:


MUFON Case # 43264
Location: Huntsville, Texas
Date of Sighting:   10/14/2012 

Time of Sighting:  06:31 UTC
Viewing Distance:     Unknown
Sighting Duration:     Undisclosed
Object Features:     Appendage(s)
Object Flight Path:     Straight-line path
Object Shape:     Cigar
Weather Factors:     Unknown
Summary:  bright metallic silver cigar shaped


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.!!

Recent UFO Sightings in Oregon


There has recently been a number of UFO sightings reported to MUFON, from witnesses in Oregon.

Here are those unedited (as is) reports.

     *

MUFON Case # 42640
Location: Tigard, Oregon
Date of Sighting: 09/18/2012
Time of Sighting: 03:45 UTC
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features: Window(s)
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape: Cigar, Cylinder
Weather Factors: Unknown
Summary: zero sound, very slow, very low. Quite clear.

Sighting Details:


I was awakened by a food service oil truck (recovering used fryer oil from nearby Jack In Box) and got up to have a smoke. As the truck was leaving I was looking to make sure of what kind of truck it was. I was a little upset because it was 3:45 AM and I had been sleeping well and wanted to know for sure what had caused the sound. As I was watching the truck move from West to East, lights from what I assumed to be an airplane caught my attention. The craft was moving North/Northwest and was within a quarter mile of me. It was almost directly overhead; perhaps 5 - 10 degrees to the East and almost 90 degrees above at first sight. I estimate the height of the craft to be below 1000 ft. There was absolutely no sound and it moved as if gliding. Steady lights (rosy/red) at the tips of the craft and random red lights blinking across the body of the craft between the two constant lights. It seemed that the center part of the craft may have been a window; possible occupants visible. Speed was reasonably slow, perhaps 50 - 100 MPH? I watched it for about a minute and a half until it was obscured by nearby trees/buildings. As stated above, my first reaction was airplane. But, then I noticed that there was no tail section, that it was just a cylinder with lights on both ends and =perhaps= a window through the center with lights blinking (not flashing if the distinction makes sense?) and I may have seen the movement of an occupant. It just made me shake my head in a sort of disbelief as I realized I was seeing something that I absolutely can not identify as a normaly viewed aircraft. Feel free to contact me if there are any other questions.

Summary: Saw orange & yellow light disappear when in flight path of plane

Sighting Details:


I was standing on my backyard deck smoking a cigarette when I noticed a very bright star that was pulsating, then I realized it was actually moving North to South. When I first saw it, I thought perhaps it was a plane, but the lights just didn't look right, the color was off. I then noticed that there was a plane (very recognizable) moving south to north directly at the object. I was concerned because I thought maybe they would hit each other as they were both pretty well lined up, but as the plane got closer, that is when the object dulled then I couldn't see it anymore. I was then thinking ok, not an airplane, maybe a really bright satelitte? I then went inside the house to tell my husband what I saw, then I went right back outside and notice that there was a very round and transluent object that appeared to me about the size of a nickel or so at about a 60 or 70 degree angle, at this point, I am asking my husband... not quite calmly to come outside and look because I thought maybe I was seeing things. He came outside and he also saw it moving from the north to the south going directly over our heads. It looked very much like a jellyfish. It at this point had a pale white light emminating from it, It was very round. It went behind the trees, and my husband ran through the house out the front door to see if he could see it anymore, I went inside to see if I could find my phone so that I could take video. I found my phone, headed out the front door and saw my husband standing in the road, he said he couldn't see it anymore. My husband said that he saw it from the front of the house when it changed shape to more of a crescent, like it morphed and headed east. He said he thought he saw it turn red as it did this, and that he thought he saw 6 pale white lights around it, but not like they were attached to the outside, more like they were just a part of it. It moved like a living thing. He said he was thinking to himself "did I just see what I think I just saw?" Once it changed direction and headed east, it went past the trees in the neighbors yard and he could no longer see it, he said he wasn't sure if it was decending, or it just looked like it was since it was moving, as it was deceptive. We discussed this for a while after we saw it, and were trying to decide what we had seen, we thought of balloons and parachutes, ultralights, but nothing we have ever seen before, compares to what we saw last night. I do have to say that my husband thought it was more like the size of a pea, whereas I thought it was more like a nickle, I would more likely trust his judgement, because I think I might have been more excited about it than he was. He tends to keep his cool better than I do in highly excitable circumstances.

Summary: Ascended from Skinner's Butte treeline, looked like giant burning paper bag, flew over my apt., giant panel was visible when over me.

Sighting Details:


I live in Eugene, Oregon at the base of Skinner's Butte. I was taking my laundry from the laundry room to my apartment, so I was heading north. I was looking at the top of the butte because it is a spectacular sight; ancient trees from the Sequoioidae family (same as the redwood). Then, I see something that looks like a giant paper bag on fire ascending above the treeline. I'm not sure if the UFO was landed because the trees are covering my view of the top, but it was definitely ascending. It start heading directly towards me, making me think that someone was playing a really intricate, cruel prank and trying to catch my apartment complex on fire. But then, it never descended, it continued over my apartment complex. It flew almost directly over my head, but not quite, if I'm facing north, it was a bit east of me, but still flying directly south. As it flew directly over me, I realized that the flame was an EXHAUST changing with the wind and that there was also a large rectangular ship trying to blend in with the nights sky. The ship was changing it's colors from dark blues to black. It was trying to imitate a chameleon, but I'm not sure why the ship was fine with such a noticeable exhaust. The ship was also pretty slow moving, I cannot relay the speed exactly, but it seemed to me like it was moving around 5 mph. Another thing I am unsure about is the size of the rectangle/ship and how high above me it was. I know for sure that it was not high in the sky at all, my guess would be from 250-300 ft high in the sky. Also, I believe the rectangular ship to be about 40 ft long and around 15 ft wide. There was also a WOM WOM WOM WOM sound that I heard, however I am unsure of whether or not that was coming from the UFO, so I have been leaving that out when I tell family/friends about it. After it was around 100 ft away from me (heading south),I had two friends inside so I dropped all my clean laundry on the parking lot and sprinted to get them. By the time they got outside it was around 150 ft away, but it was still pretty magnificent because we all were lucky enough to watch it fly away. The UFO headed south across all of Eugene, so I am a bit confused why there was no news articles on it. I always tried to tell myself that the evidence was there for UFO's because of video's, articles, TV shows, accounts from two separate people whom I know very well, and people in the world who dedicated their LIFE to investigating them. However, there was something in my heart that doubted them still and I couldn't shake it for whatever reason. I researched military drones today (the day after) because I know that they are able to camouflage themselves well. I have learned that this was definitely not a drone or anything man has made. I also considered the possibility that the government has many very impressive weapons and ships up their sleeves that they are keeping secret, but I don't understand why a secret ship would be in Eugene, Oregon and why it would be flying so slow. Everyone that reads this, I SAW A UFO!!!! PS I'm sorry I don't have any video to show everyone, I'm just not the type of girl to take my cell phone to the laundry room.

Summary: Saw what looked like a bright star just stationary, it went sharpe left down then off to right, two other sightings as well

Sighting Details:


About 10:30 pm I went outside to smoke looked, to the north east, up at what I thought was a bright star, a little brighter than jupiter was last spring, all of the sudden it move sharpley to the left (north) in a downward motion quickly then it slowly moved to the south then the veiw was blocked by a tree. I text my daughter about it! Next night about the same time went out to smoke and saw same object to the west, they are pretty high in the horizon. Wasn't sure it was the same until it moved, called my grandchildren out and we whatched it slowly move to the south east then stoped and suddenly got brighter and shot up into space and as it did so it turned to an orange ball just before it vanished, we saw a fast moving jet shortly after headed towards the exit spot. There was no objects blocking our line of sight, it makes absolutely no noise and I live by an airport and know very well the sound and looks of planes at night. Two nights later I went out again about the same time just in time to see it to the north get brighter and shoot into space. when it shoots into space it moves at a rapid rate of speed it only takes a split second, when it travels across the sky it's slow and almost as if it's floating and does change speeds, but always maintains the bright star like apperance, it is able to change directions suddenly, not sure of the distance away but it's up there. A week later I found out that some one I know that live a few miles away has seen the same object with her twin sister, she had told me the story before I told her what I saw. Have not seen it since that last week in August

Summary: 4 Red/Orange orbs flying in a straight path with no noise.

Sighting Details:


My wife and I were walking around the Pearl District looking for a place to get some dessert. As we got to a four way intersection I looked up and seen this single red/orange light traveling somewhat slowly coming from the 405 bridge heading in a SE direction. I pointed it out to my wife because it wasn't blinking at all and had no noise. We both thought I was a helicopter because it looked like it was low and slow. Two more lights of the same kind and size were came into view following the same path and they were traveling closer together than in relation to the first one. We listened for sound thinking they were helicopters. No sounds at all. As the two flew over our heads they never changed dslistance from each other and travelled at the same rate of speed. A fourth came into view and was further behind about the same distance the first one was to the second two. As these three were now very close we started to hear a helicopter so we thought that the notice was coming from these lights but then we seen the helicopter was over 405 bridge and was 5 or so times bigger than these lights and it was a typical helicopter with flashing lights etc. The middle two lights past over head by now and would have been behind buildings but at the rate of speed they were going the fourth one should still have been in view. We looked back up after noticing the helicopter and the lights were gone. We went down a block to be a longer view between the buildings but all the lights were gone. It could have been nothing. My wife thinks it was r/c planes but there was no noise and how boring would flying r/c planes in a straight line be? Just a very weird sighting.

I have a green laser and i often point at stars to show people planets and so fourth. Well every so often something takes off leaving a long streak behind. these are NOT shooting stars. I have a feeling they do not like the laser. So they get out of dodge. The interesting thing here is that these sightings are followed by silent what looks like mini planes. Very strange they appear out of no where traveling the opposite direction.

[Editor's Note:  If you use a laser pointer for astronomy, please use it wisely.  Never point lasers at aircraft in the sky. 

If you shine a laser at an aircraft and it happens to shine on the cockpit, or into any window,  there is a real possibility of blinding the pilot (or passengers) and therefore, shining lasers on aircraft is very illegal (a felony). -SW]

UFO Confrontation Over Mansfield, Ohio, 1973





Video Link


On October 18, 1973, four military helicoptor crewmen had a dangerous encounter with a cigar-shaped UFO, over Mansfield, Ohio.

The UFO shown a green beam of light onto the helicopter as it descended, in an attempt to avoid a collision. At 1700 feet AGL, the helicopter was stopped in it's descent and lifted back up into the air, stopping at an elevation of about 3800 feet, where the alien craft held it firmly in place, apparently scanning the helicopter.

Meanwhile, the DeLong family was driving on the outskirts of Mansfield, when they saw the encounter between the helicopter and the UFO.  They were interviewed 3 years later.

Twenty years later, Detective John Healy, one of the helicopter crewmen, stepped forward with his account of what had transpired.  The encounter was re-enacted on the popular paranormal documentary TV series, "Sightings".  The episode "UFO over Mansfield, OH" originally aired on 11/13/1994.

The Odessa Event, 1973 - Witness Testimony

*
Witness' depiction of craft over radio tower west of Odessa, Texas, 1973

*

I recently had the pleasure of talking with a witness to an event, which occurred in Odessa, Texas, in the summer of 1973 (39 years ago).

Mr. Stanley Wilson sent me a CD, with his verbal testimony, of he and family members witnessing a disc-shaped UFO, which hovered over a radio tower for more than an hour.

That event should have been investigated in 1973 but it wasn't.  It should also have made the UFO history books... but it didn't.  And that is a shame.

I listened to Mr. Wilson's audio testimony, spoke with he and his wife and have transcribed his testimony.  I present it here in it's entirety.  The recording was too long to post here, so I will attempt to do so at a later date.

Begin transcription:
This is Stanley Wilson, the date is the sixth month, 21st day, 2012.  I am sixty years old. This is also Georgia's birthday, my sister.

I wanted to tell everything that occurred with UFOs in 1973, that I can recall.  I just want and record of it before I die and it's for whoever is interested in listening to the truth.  I am a Christian, so I am not gonna lie about anything. 

It started in 1973, there was a flap going on.  A flap is a concentration of UFOs moving across the country.  And in this case they were moving across the southern United States.  The best I remember from the east to the west.  And you can get on the computer and check that out, you'll find out there was a flap in 1973.

The first event was a UFO, what they call a mother-ship and I refer to it that way because it was huge.  My grandma, which is my daddy's momma, Minnie Windham, she lived on the west side of town and I had worked real hard that day for the State Highway Department and she called and I was taking a nap.  My wife answered the phone and she told Judy, my wife, "Tell Stanley to go outside and look, there's a UFO heading y'alls way."

And before I forget it, let me say, everything concerning this UFO was in the daylight, no clouds, best I recall in the summer.

So I leaned up on the bed and told Judy, "Grandma Windham ain't much on teasing, so I guess I better go look."

I went outside, I looked to the north, I didn't see anything, I looked to the... toward Odessa, east and I didn't see anything.  I looked south, I didn't see anything.  But when I looked west, there was a tower about 1 mile from our house.  And, but on above the radio tower, just a little ways above it, sitting stationary, was a huge UFO.  We were about a mile from it, I didn't see any windows or doors, which would have been the eastern side of the UFO.  No noise.

So me and Judy are looking at it in the yard and my big sister, which is Georgia,  her and her husband Jim Hess, came running around the corner in their car real fast, hollering out the window, "Do you see it?  Do you see it?  Do you see it?!"  And we're saying "Yeah", and they whooped up in the yard.

So we're all four standing there and looking at this huge UFO.  And uh, I said you know that might might be a radio tower, I didn't know but I said it might be and my wife's 65 Malibu was sitting over there in the yard, front yard.  I went over there and turned the radio on and I located a station called KBZB and I the best I remember, it was a country station.  They were reporting live, on the radio that they have a UFO above their tower, causing static.  You can hear the static through the car radio as he's talking.

So I went in the house and got on the phone, cause back then there wasn't no cell phones and I called the radio disc-jockey and I got him and I talked to him, 'live' on the radio station and everybody was listening to it, whoever listens to  KBZB.

And I said that UFO that your talking about, we're looking at it.  And they could hear me talking to him, outside. they were still listening to the radio and they could actually hear me through the car radio, talking to him.

Well, in a little bit I got off the phone, went back outside and we all four stood there, watching the UFO.  And it wasn't making any kind of sound.

Well,  me and Jim Hess decided we'd go try to get closer to the UFO.  We told Georgia my sister and my wife Judy, to stay in the yard, that way, make sure they're safe.  And me and Jim took off and started going all over them little dirt roads out there.  There wasn't hardly anybody that lived out there then.

By the way, before I forget it, I did run to my neighbor's house and try to get a camera but they weren't home.  I didn't own one. If you wanted to get a portrait, you just went to Gibson's.  They had a portrait studio.  So we didn't get a picture of it.

And anyway, me and Jim's running out there all over them dirt roads, we can't locate the road that goes to it, so we go back to the main highway, which is 42nd.  And we start heading out towards 866.  We weren't very far from 866 when we turned north on a little dirt road that goes to the radio tower.

Well, when we first got on the road I said, "Jim, I'm not gonna [chuckle], I'm not gonna get real close to that, cause we might get a trip we don't want."  He said he didn't want to get close to it either.

So we stopped the car right there and it looked as though the UFO had been 'cast'.  We didn't see any kind of seams, no windows, no doors.  Now the west side of the UFO might have had them, or the north side, we didn't see those sides. And we couldn't see under the UFO, we wasn't quite there, close but you could see the side and over it, it was flat on the bottom and it was curvature over the top, like the common UFOs you see on TV.  That's what they really look like.  Well, at least the one we saw.

Anyway, we sat there quite a while and I don't remember what all we said but finally, the UFO drifted off of the radio tower and went out, not too awful far, and made a 90 degree turn and drifted off to the west and went out of sight.

So, me and Jim drove back home.  They were no longer reporting that there was a UFO above the radio tower, they totally, completely quit talking about it.  So I called the disc jockey up again.  And I said, "Hey man, I'm the one who was talking to you about the UFO, how come y'all quit telling that?"  He said, "Cause the government told us to shut it down, or we was gonna lose our license."

And I said, "Is there anything else you can tell me about it?" and he said, "Well, I can tell you this, our electrician went out there and he saw under the bottom of it, and it had some kinda writing on it, that looked kind of like hieroglyphics.  And he got scared and he left and we, he was so panicky, we actually had to go out and meet him on the way in.  And then we took him to the hospital and got a hypo to calm him down."  Which I didn't even know what a hypo was but that's what they said. What he said.

Anyway, about, uh, one month later, I called him again and I said, "Hey, this is the guy that had talked to you about the UFOs, is there anything else you can tell me?" and he said, "Well I can tell you KOSA TV Channel 7 went out there and took pictures of a UFO, right above the lights on West University."  Which is another main road out there and he said the government confiscated their pictures and told them they better not say anything else about it.  And they sure better not show any pictures, or they would lose their license.  And he said, "If you don't mind, I'd prefer that you didn't call me any more, because I'm afraid that I'm gonna lose my job over it."  And I said Okay.  So, that ended that.

And the next event was, we heard that the Smithsonian Institute was in our area out there, taking pictures of UFOs at night, with infrared cameras. So all four of us started hunting for them at night and we finally located them, out on some of the dirt roads and they were, had roads out there blocked off with their cars.  And there was a guy on each side of the car, in black suits... where you couldn't enter.  And you could see people out in pasture, with cameras on tripods, you could see little red lights out there.

So, we left that alone, cause we had already heard about it, we knew what that was.  And we could see that you couldn't enter. And of course there were things went on, cause we was watching for them. you know and after that.  We seen some lights and stuff, you know you couldn't swear any of that for sure. 

There was some odd things though, at night.  We'd sit up on our roof out there and look and watch for things but anyway, finally, I totally quit watching for them and uh, we was just back to normal life.

And one night, and normally I don't tell this story, cause I know if you tell too much, people think you are either lying, or you're crazy.  So I don't normally tell this particular story.  It's the last main thing that happened. And I don't know whether, you know, whoever was on that UFO had identified me and our location where we live, or what.

But anyway, one night I walked outside and there was this low cloud that looked like a cigar.  Oh, it was probably 50, 60 feet long [pause] and uh, it was moving slow, about 100 feet, a 150 feet above the road and I just watched it.  And it got down the road a ways and all of a sudden the cloud dissipated off of the UFO. It was a camouflage of some kind.  And it was moving through the dark sky and you could see the edge of the UFO.

And I hollered at Judy and I said, "Let's go, come out here and look."  She saw it to and we jumped in our Volkswagen, I said, "We're gonna follow it."  It's not moving real fast and I said, "You keep an eye on it and I'll do the driving."

And it started veering off more toward, uh, West University, rather than 42nd, so we got to 1936 and we dropped down to West University.  It started going toward town and the UFO was over a pasture out there to the north of University [pause] and it started flashing lights on it's side.  We was a little behind it and best I remember, they was blue, red and orange and they were flashing in sequence.  And the thing stopped and it started coming straight down, and it landed.  Out in that pasture.

So I pulled off of University, found a road out there that my head lights shined directly at it, it was about half a football field out there.  And I told Judy, I said, "This time, I'm gonna try to make contact."

And I remember looking at the cars up on 338.  They weren't stopping, wondering how come me, and then I realize they probably don't realize what this thing is, or else they're just not seeing it and uh, I told her I was gonna make contact.  She didn't say anything and I started flashing my headlights right at it.

Well, the next thing I knew, well me and Judy were real tired and there was nothing out in that pasture, it was just dark out there. And I said, "Man, I am so tired." And I looked at my watch and I said, "Where did all that time go?" 

And she looked at hers and she said, "I don't know.  Looks like about an hour." and I said, "Yeah, I think we've lost about an hours time."  And we were both extremely, extremely tired and we said we got to go home and go to bed.  And we both headed home, boy, and I mean we went directly to bed and went to sleep.

And I asked her later on about it and she said, "Well, all I remember is, we chased it and I remember we lost some time and it looked about an hour."  And she said. "That's about all I can remember about it."  And I said, "Well, I remember more than that. So evidently they hypnotized you better than they did me."

Anyway, I'm not saying we was picked up, we don't know for sure, if we was, or not but that occurred.

Everything I've stated here, is the truth.  And it sounds like it was a movie and we felt as though we were in a movie. 

But it wasn't.  This was real life and it's all true.  And that's the reason I'm documenting it right now, because future generations need to know they're real.  UFOs are real.

So, I can't think of anything else to say, other than it's documented and if you want to hear it, here it is.  Goodbye.

Investigator's Notes: For those unaware, infrared photography was discovered in the early 20th century but was not widely used until the mid to late 60s. 

I spoke at length over the phone, with Stanley and his wife, Judy.  Normally I do not post names but Mr. Wilson assured me that would not be a problem and that he insisted I keep the report, as is.

Both Stanley and Judy came across as honest, good people and their story never wavered.  A report of the main experience was submitted to NUFORC, in 2005.  That report can be viewed here:
http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/046/S46220.html
And here:
http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case607.htm

There is also a report by Stanley's sister, Georgia (Hess) Landers.  You can view that report here:
http://www.ufoevidence.org/Cases/CaseSubarticle.asp?ID=921

I asked the Wilsons and both were forthcoming about illnesses that they each have experienced, since that night in the pasture, when they both lost an hour of time.  It also seems that Judy was more affected and not just more memory loss than her husband, at the time of the event.

Conclusion:
I believe the Wilsons and other witnesses saw what they claim to have seen.  I also believe what the Wilsons experienced later, to be true. 

There was a country radio station in Odessa (at that time), with the call letters of KBZB.  It apparently changed hands in 1972 (Diama Joy Atkins took over after her husband died), then later the station was again sold.  The call letters have since been assigned to another station in a different state.

As in many such events, i.e., Roswell, there always seems to be a cover-up.
