A witness reported to MUFON, of having seen a green sphere rise from the water at North Beach, Corpus Christi Texas.  Here is that report:

MUFON Case # 50867
Location: Corpus Christi. Texas
Date of Sighting: 09/16/2013
Time of Sighting: 09:27 UTC
Viewing Distance:     21-100 Feet
Sighting Duration:     00:00:25
Object Flight Path:    Straight-line path,Other
Object Shape:       Circle, Flash
Summary: Green blurred orb coming out of bay onto sand/ erratic movement

Report:
My husband and I moved to North Beach in Corpus Christi around four weeks ago. I am retired and am outside 70% or more of a 24 hour day. We live right on the water front, and I must say, this place has some seriously odd things going on/around. First sighting witnesses in the air around the 4th. or 5th. of this month blew my mind, but this one is disturbing. A very bright green orb came out of the water on to the sand, then flattened itself. (i'm insane, right?) Yes, it flattened. This highly odd sight then ventured at speeds I can hardly explain, raced down the shoreline, around the sand, over a public beach restroom, back to it original spot, then disappeared back in the water. Did it again after about 3 minutes. Never witnessed it again after that, and I stayed on my waterfront patio quite some time after that, looking, as you can imagine. Two sightings in two weeks. The aerial was an unknown shape; quite distant, although noticeable purple, red, green, yellow, let's just say "rainbow" lights running around the shape of it. My husband actually witnessed that one. I know I am not going mad. I'm beginning to feel this is a highly active area here by the bay. I just wish someone could explain the 'water Orb" to me. I know what I witnessed. I just cannot wrap my head around it. And my feelings on this? Wish someone else could have witnessed this. Highly anxious to see it again.

Light Over Three Rivers, Texas

I received this report through LITS South Texas Lead Investigator, Connie C.

Object: steady white intense light, larger than nearby Arcturus,steadily moving from the west to the east.
After a few seconds, it reached due south in the sky and turned to the north.
At this time the witness expected to see navigation lights, but did not.
The light actually started slowly blinking off and on for a total of 3 times as it moved north. After the third blink it never came back on. It just disappeared.

Total time of the sighting: 3-4 minutes.
Time: 10:15 pm Saturday night July 27th, 2013
Absolutely clear night after a heavy rainfall 3 hours earlier.
Three Rivers, Texas
Highway 72 east at the city limits.

Note:  This was not the ISS, or any other satellite.  
If anyone else saw this, please report it.  Thank you.

Fourth of July 2013 Sees Spike In UFO Reports

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.

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
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Date of Sighting: 07/04/2013
Time of Sighting: 10:40 UTC
Viewing Distance: Unknown
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.

Summary: appeared after firework show ended. Certain was not a firework
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.

White Sphere Over Eastland, Texas, 6-25-2013

*

I had a personal sighting and here is the report.  The picture is a representation of what I saw.  I didn't have time to take a photo of the object.
*

Location: Eastland, Texas
Date of Sighting: June 25, 2013
Time of Sighting: 2:55 p.m.
Shape: Circle, Orb, Sphere

Report:
It was 2:55 p.m. and we were just leaving Eastland, headed home on Hwy 112.  I was riding in the passenger seat and just happened to glanced out to the East. We were headed North and had just passed the airport.  It was then that I noticed something in the sky that made me do a double take.

When I first noticed it, the object looked similar to a small round cloud but focusing on the object, I realized it appeared solid, was white, round and had slightly fuzzy edges.  "What the heck?"  I said out loud.

I looked away for only a couple of seconds, prepared to see a puffy cloud but when I looked back, the object had completely disappeared.

I told my husband what I had just seen, pointing out other small clouds amid the wispy clouds in the sky.  The normal clouds lingered for some time and did not just disappear.

In retrospect, the object looked like a bright moon, in a bright afternoon summer sky.  The object was about the size of a nickle held at arms length.

The object I saw wasn't the sun, as the sun was much farther to the West.  It's something I can't explain.

Glass-like Sphere Over Fort Worth, 6-12-2013

A Fort Worth resident reported to MUFON that they observed a translucent, glass-like "ball" in the sky.
This report is posted here, unedited.



MUFON Case # 48112    
Location:  Fort Worth, TX
Date: 06-12-2013
Shape: Sphere
Summary: Sphere like object very bright started moving slowly away, the light dimmed leaving outline of sphere, transparent and then disappeared.   

Report:
Ive been interested in the Universe and physics for most of my life. Ive spent many nights just gazing at the stars looking for unusual objects. Ive seen hundreds of satellites moving slowly across the night sky. Ive seen the space station as light reflected off of it from the sun as it moved across the sky. I used to see them more frequently living on a farm in Cross Plains, Texas. Now living in the city the lights keep me from seeing such a large number of stars and planets, but on some nights the visibility is good. On several occasions recently Ive see what I initially thought was a satellite moving across the sky only to see it make a complete u turn and head the opposite direction and Ive seen small dimly lit objects moving in different directions across the night sky changing speeds but nothing I could say for sure it was a UFO.

Last night I was having a hard time sleeping, so at 4:00 am I got up and went out to the front porch, it was a good clear night. When I first stepped outside I look across the street toward the Western Sky where I frequently see bright planets and stars, but when I looked up this time I immediately saw this very bright circular object, it was a bright as a car head lamp at one block away. It didnt cast a beam, it glowed brightly. I first thought to myself wow that is the brightest planet Ive ever seen, not even thinking about UFOs. As I stood there for a few seconds it started moving away from me, so I sort of ran toward the road to get a better view. As I did this, the light started to dim until all that was left was a round transparent sphere. It looked like a clear glass ball in the sky. As it kept moving away it slowly disappeared out of sight. I actually stood there for a few minutes with my mouth wide open staring at the sky. This was like nothing Ive seen before. it was big and bright and made no sound. I didnt see any air traffic around for several minutes. I know the patterns the planes take as they approach the airports or take off. I also see fighter jets as they take off from Carswell, they usually fly very high once they get this far. This object was within our atmosphere. Hard to tell how high but to guess 5,000 ft or less. At that height I would guess it was 300 feet in diameter. It emitted its own light, not a reflection.

Pilot driving home to Dublin, Texas spots UFO

While driving home from Granbury to Dublin, Texas,  a pilot with 45 years experience reports observing a bright sphere in the afternoon sky.

Time of Sighting:   02:30 PM
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Sighting Duration:  00:01:00
Object Flight Path: Hovering then path,Straight-line path
Object Shape:    Sphere
Summary: Bright silver light; stationary then left to the S directly away from me at high rate of speed. pilot 45yrs, no aircraft.

Report:
Left work shortly after 2pm Sunday, 3/24 going home to Granbury,TX. from Stephenville. I take the back roads instead of Highway 377, the commonly used route because of heavy traffic on 377, for safety reasons. I was on CR305 close to the Erath/Hood county line. A very rural area and sparsely populated. Almost no traffic. About 1420hrs a very bright silver light to the south caught my eye. It appeared round but was so bright it was hard to tell. I appeared to be about a mile away, at 5000' above ground, stationary. I stopped my car and watched it for about one minute then it shot away almost directly away from me to the south so I lost sight in less than a second. I have been a licensed pilot for 45 years and this was no known aircraft. This was a sunny clear day so the brightness was really remarkable. I do not believe it was a reflection, again because of the level of brightness so that the light appeared to be emanating from the object. I was very interested and curious, I was not frightened.

MUFON Case # 46135
Location: Georgetown, Texas
Date of Sighting: 11/04/2012
Time of Sighting: 7:00 PM
Viewing Distance: Unknown
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features: Patterned Surface
Object Flight Path: Stationary,Hovering then path,Straight-line path,Path with directional change,Path then hovering
Object Shape:     Circle, Sphere, Star-like
Summary: Pulsating orbs that changed altitude and direction separate from each other. There were 8 of them in 2 lines when the top line of 4 went out there remained 4 and then disappeared.

Report:
My son was home alone while I had gone to Subway to get some dinner with his friend. While in line we were sent a picture through text of what he was seeing out of the back door of our home at the tree lines where there is nothing but cows and pasture with lines of trees. By the time I returned he explained that originally he was alerted by our three dogs who were barking and growling like there was a prowler to 8 lights in the lit sky above this treeline which were in 2 horizontal lines. By the time he got his phone out of his pocket to snap a picture of the lights there only remained the bottom line of 4 lights. When I returned the sky was still well lit but dusk was coming. There were no objects and we all looked to the direction where he had seen them. We sat on our patio to eat our sandwiches when his friend, looked up in that direction and said, What the hell! We all then looked up while moving to the door and seeing the 4 objects hovering above the treeline. We stood there just staring and watching trying to see what else was around in the sky or on the ground; nothing. We also watched the cars going by to see if any looked up and pulled over... we saw nothing to that effect. I did call my neighbor across the street who also looked out her front door and saw them too. As we watched the round objects they began to move up and down individually from each other and at times go below the treeline. Then they began to move fast to the east and west. At this time we noticed that they began to change color to orange and red while appearing to pulsate. This continued until the sun set completely and one by one they disappeared but I couldn't say if the lights just went out or they left because their movements were so fast. We felt unable to stop looking at them and felt excited and confused about what we were watching with anticipation (of what I have no clue). We felt sad when they disappeared and kept looking in that direction to see if they have returned to this day. The three of us 'knew' it was off-planet but weren't sure if there was a bigger craft, but felt there was. We also felt the bigger craft that seemed to also be present due to the 'orbs' seeming to enter/disappear and reappear, was invisible because we could see the surrounding area plainly.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Photo and Report of Lights Over Tomball, Texas, 2-3-2013

*

I received an emailed report from a witness in Tomball, Texas, who saw lights which formed a triangle and crossed the sky.  Here is that unedited report.

*

Tomball, Texas
February 3, 2013
I was at a friend's house near Tomball, TX and went outside around 7:15pm to move my car when I spotted 3 strange lights in a triangular shape moving from the south west toward the north west. The lights were orange as they came toward me and as they passed, which occurred very quickly. The objects came into and disappeared from view on the western horizon all within a couple minutes. Unfortunately, I was too mesmerized to use my camera on my phone.

I can't really say how high they were, but, I'm guessing they weren't any lower than 5-10,000 feet due to the fact that there is a municipal airport (Hooks) to the south of our location, but they were much too high to be coming from there. Also, the glide path for Houston Intercontinental is just to the north and east of here, and the lights were not in the normal path of landing for that either.

Were there any other reports such as this tonight, or any thoughts?

I imagine most people were watching the Superbowl during that time, so, not too many eyes on the sky. If I see them again, I'll whip out my phone/camera and try to get a shot of it, but I doubt it will happen again soon, it seemed kind of a chance situation.

Please do let me know if you run across any other reports of similarities from tonight, I'm really curious about this.

I didn't realize it, but my son was actually smart enough to pull out his phone a grab a picture the other night.

The colors are almost exact with what we saw.

Thanks

Sighting Duration: 00:00:30
Object Flight Path: Path with directional change,Other
Object Shape: Sphere, Square, Rectangular, Other
Summary: looked up saw red glow out of low clouds came craft with plasma like curling flames
Report:
It was very early 3 am, I for no reason woke up and went out side into the driveway of my house. It was a still morning , there was what is known as coastal eddy at the time. A thick layer of fog or cloud cover with a ceiling of about 500 feet. there was another fog that could be seen off in the distance with a visibility of about a mile and a half. It was approximately 7 min. after 3am, digital alarm clock read 3:03 went I got up and went outside.

I was standing in my driveway when I noticed a red glow above and to the right, I then saw the craft emerge from the fog layer above. as it emerged I could clearly see a spheroid object, essentially a cube with the corners shaved off, I have sent drawing of it to the directors email.

Out from each side, top, bottom, right left front back, of course I couldnt the far side, but I could make out that there was a flame on that side too.

The nature of the flames(plasma jets) were unlike that of rockets, they were thicker as in more dense it whipped around slowly but was not exausting as our jets do, pushing out thrust, these jets as I say whipped around slowly like a cats tail except for the front jet that was being pushed by the head wind as it moved through the air.

The local news reported several sightings during that time, it was reported to be a natural phenomenon and not a ufo

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.

Time of Sighting: 12:00 UTC
Viewing Distance: Unknown
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Features: Other
Object Flight Path: Path with directional change
Object Shape: Sphere, Star-like, Other
Weather Factors: Unknown
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.

Object Shape: Square, Rectagular, Teardrop
Weather Factors: Unknown
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

Object Features: Unknown

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.

Sighting Details:

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]

Lights Over Katy, Texas- 8/19/2012

*

Artist depiction.

*

I received an email from a witness in Katy, TX, who observed 4 orange/red lights in the sky, August 19, 2012 at approximately 9:00 p.m.

Katy, Texas
8/19/2012
9:00 p.m.

Last night around 8 or 9 PM, I walked to my truck to get or take something out of it.  The 4 lights grabbed my eye to the Northwest.  3 lights were higher in altitude and the fourth substantially lower.  There was no "pattern" to objects but, they were red and oranges (No Green) and were traveling rapidly and gaining altitude as they traveled. 

I called my wife out who did witness the lights but, disregarded it after a few minutes.  There were thunderstorm clouds in the area and after about 15-20 min. of watching them travel, I lost them behind the clouds.  They appeared too high to be military to me and I we did not see any green lights on them at all. 

I am curious to see if any other observations were reported int he Katy area around these times?  We do have flight paths in the area but usually from the West and the South.  The 3 lights were higher and traveling up and not in the typical flight path and the 1 was substantially lower and seemed to be traveling faster after about 5 min. of watching them to "catch up" to the other 3 lights. 

I have never seen these lights before.  But, when I Googled this I noticed that there are a few sightings in the area reporting the same thing and colors in the same location in the sky.

Note:  If you observed these lights over Katy, TX or the near vicinity, please submit your report.  Thanks. -Sunny

Sighting Duration: 00:01:45
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape: Fireball, Sphere
Summary: Watching a meteor shower, saw 5 orange glowing objects flying toward the city

Report:
August 11, there was a meteor shower. We started watching around 11:40 pm. My husband and I have been watching, going in and out of the house. Throughout the evening we have been seeing the airplanes from far and close. The meteors, which were shooting in all different directions: Some were very high and dim, some were close and you could see the trail just after them! One would shoot off the southeast and about 5 minutes later one would shoot off straight to the north.
About 1:15 am or so we started back outside for a bit. As I was preparing my chair to sit down (we had been watching the northeast sky, way from the city lights) I was facing south and looked to the east and I see an Orange Glow, keep in mind we had been watching the meteor shower all evening! I told my hubby to take a look; I grabbed my phone and started recording it! I recorded the Orange Glow for about 25 seconds as it crossed the sky. It had to be flying just above the Hwy 175 heading northwest towards Dallas. Just as I turned off the camera on my phone, I noticed another Orange Glow just behind it! I started recording again. Just behind that Orange Glow, this time there were two more flying side by side, with yet, another behind that one. Totaling 5 altogether! While I was taking video, my hubby was shooting pictures from the iphone 3GS. The same type device I was recording the video.
After the event, we were discussing our opinions. There was not a sound, no trail behind them, and they were flying perfectly together. I would assume around the same speed as a slow plane. Almost like they were following something up the highway! I have the pictures and the video! On the video, the night was so dark you cannot even see the houses or trees in the frame. Nor can you see the color! However, in the pictures my husband took you can see the color! I figure if they had been meteors they would not have flown in such a formation, there would have been a trail behind them, and I don’t think they would have been flying so slowly!
My husband says, “We see and hear the planes and helicopters fly by all the time. No sound, no blinking lights, just orange lights floating through the sky. ”

Surveillance Camera Captures Orb Near Breckenridge, Texas

*

*

I was checking the videos from my surveillance camera and aside from the usual bug zipping by the lens, looking exactly like all the flying rods I've seen on countless videos, there was nothing much of interest, until...

Suddenly I began noticing that several videos were void of the usual bugs and there seemed to be no movement, that would lead to the triggering of the motion activation.  As I watched each video, I suddenly came upon the one that you see above.

In the video, you see an orange light at the far left of the screen.  It appears to drop down over the top of the fence, pause, then move out of frame.

The light appears to be an orb that is generating light.  The light is reflected off of the chain link fencing and the T-post.  The post is 5 feet high.The object appears to be approximately 1 foot in diameter.

I did not see the video as it was being recorded, however, shortly after that, I let my dogs out into the fenced area.  The dogs began barking and my usually tough older, larger dog started barking like he was afraid.  I open the door and he nearly knocked me down trying to get into the house. 

I stepped outside and looked around, thinking maybe our cat was in the yard.  I saw nothing to indicate that anything was around.

After examining the video, I watched each subsequent video.  None of those videos had any indication that the object was still in the viewable area.  Whatever it was, it had vanished, or simply flew away.

What this object is, I am not certain but it does seem to match the many orbs and spheres witnesses are reporting.

Have you seen an object like this?  If so, please report it.

MUFON Case # 40307
Location: Dalls, Texas
Date of Sighting: 07/04/2012
Time of Sighting: 09:22 p.m.
Viewing Distance: Unknown
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Flight Path: Hovering then path
Object Shape: Sphere, disc, hovering lights
Summary: Red/orange glowing, hovering orbs on 4th of July pre-fireworks
    
Report:
On the 4th of July, we went to see the fireworks at Fair Park in Dallas. We parked in a church parking lot at the corner of Gurley Ave and Carroll. Many other people were parked here as well. I noticed two red/orange slow-moving orbs, or what I first thought were fireworks. I was thinking, "Why aren't they racing upward to explode like they usually do?" I asked my cousin, "What ARE those!?" We thought they looked like Chinese lanterns on fire. Then we noticed they weren't going up, they were moving sideways, and I thought it was weird that they seemed to be "caught in the wind" and moving away from where the fireworks would be. I'm not good with direction, but we were facing Fair Park from the parking lot, and these orbs were moving past us, in the direction behind us. They were not moving quickly. They never seemed to stop moving but taking their very sweet time, maybe going about 20-30 mph. Everyone was staring at them, trying to figure out what they were. They were reminiscent of tail lights on a car, but far apart from each other. They were also hovering rather low, which is the other reason I discerned they weren't fireworks. Low, slow moving, and non-exploding. And then I got impatient waiting for the fireworks and forgot all about them. Until the next day. My brother in law arrived at my house to pick up his kids and he sat down and said, "I SAW something last night." The kids were around so he was hesitant to go into detail at first but I instantly knew what he was talking about. I told him to tell me what he saw, and he described EXACTLY what my cousin and I saw, and he lives at LEAST 30 minutes away from where we saw them. And it was at the exact same time.

Time of Sighting: 12:00
Viewing Distance: Unknown
Sighting Duration: Undisclosed
Object Flight Path: Hovering then path, Straight-line path
Object Shape:     Fireball, Sphere, lights
Summary: Two glowing red-orange orb-like hovering

Report:
For fourth of July, we went to Fair Park in Dallas to see the fireworks. While getting ready before they began the show, we noticed two red lights a little off in the distance. I made a passing joke about UFO's, until we noticed they were progressively getting closer, proving they weren't fireworks because they were moving sideways and didn't explode. They were moving between 20-40 mph and were not that far above us. At one point they were directly above us. I looked away for a moment, and when I looked back they were completely vanished. I was able to take two photos on my cell phone that make them appear a little farther than they were, but they look exactly like so many other descriptions I have read from sighting all across the country.

MUFON Case # 40200
Location: Aledo, Texas
Date of Sighting: 07/04/2012
Time of Sighting: 10:07
Viewing Distance: Over One Mile
Sighting Duration: 12 seconds
Object Flight Path: Path with directional change
Object Shape: Unknown, light
Summary: Orb shape, Faster than a plane, but slower than fight jet. Just out of focus of a10x50 binocs.
Report:
My sister-in-law, brother and myself were lighting fireworks in their back yard.She got our attention about a light in the south east. My brother commented wouldn't that be wild if that was a Ufo. I live behind their home and I was able to grab my binoculars and focus in on it. My binocts are 10x50 and there were not any green and red required Faa lights to be seen by naked eye or by my binocts. This Orb traveled from the South East towards the North West. It seemed to have a slight right turn and made no noise. This Orb had a solid orange-yellow glow. I wasn't sure what it was, but I can tell what it wasn't. I've seen the Military C-130s to F18s,F22s, cargo copters to light prop planes going to or from Dallas / Loves field This Orb traveled faster than a plane, but slower than fighter jets inbound or outbound from airport. This all happened in just seconds. taking a guess this was over in 11 sec or a bit more before it went behind our tree. To describe my feelings and mind set, I was energized This whole event Started 10:06or :07 and was over about 12secs later. +++++++++++------------

Object Shape:     Disc, Saucer
Summary: around 1:30pm i noticed a cloud forming then a silver object emerged. I grabbed binoculars and notice that it was saucer shaped. then it disapeared in the cloud and the cloud vanished along with the object.

Report:
around 1:30pm I was sitting in the back yard starring up in the sky when i noticed a cloud forming. After it formed a silver object appeared. I watched while this object started to move away from the cloud and start to move back and forth and then it hovered. I realized this was not an airplane so i went and grabbed my binoculars and zoomed in on it. The object was saucer shaped and the sun was gleaming off it. after awhile the object moved back in the cloud and the cloud vanished along with the object. I tried to get the sighting recorded but was unable to see the object. I have had many sightings over my life time and have learned to take notes.I was a witness to the '97 phoenix sighting while a truck driver. That object passed over me and i swear it was at least a mile wide. The object i saw today could only be seen with sunglasses.

Editor's note:  Please folks, when reporting a UFO sighting, it helps immensely if you give as much information as possible, as in location, what direction, how far away the object(s) were and how long you viewed the object (even if you have to make a "guesstimate").   We need to know "where, when, what, how high, how far, how long, speed, direction, size of object, color, description, etc."
Please read: How to Report a UFO Sighting.  Thank you. -Sunny

Update: "White Sphere Over Aransas Pass, Texas" - A Pilot Reports Sphere Over Goliad

*



I received this email from a pilot, confirming a report made by a witness who observed a white sphere flying over Aransas Pass, Texas, March 10, 2011.





"I was reading the post on your site by the person who observed a bright spherical object on March 2011 that moved from west to east overhead where he or she lives in Aransas Pass, Texas. That town is on the bay northeast of Corpus Christi, and it is about 40 miles south-southeast as the crow flies from where I live in Goliad, Texas.

The way that object was described precisely fits the description of an object I saw from my home in Goliad on or around the same day. It was traveling west to east around the same date. The object was a bright sphere of solid white light. As it moved toward the east, its appearance changed to look sort of like a smaller version of a crescent moon for a few seconds before it completely blacked out, like somebody turned the light off with a rheostat dial switch. It didn't go black instantly but turned black over a couple of seconds after it changed to the crescent appearance. I'm convinced that what I saw was the same as what they saw in Aransas Pass, which means it was pretty big, whatever it was.

I am a pilot, so I know what airplanes and helicopters look like. This couldn't have been a conventional aircraft because it was very big and it did not have the required lights for an aircraft flying in our airspace."
