Husband and wife see objects over Thornton, Texas

At 8:45 p.m., the evening of January 1, 2011, several objects in the sky over Thornton, Texas were seen hovering and pulsing lights of red, green, blue and yellow.

I received this report via email, confirmed and attained permission to post it.  Here is the unedited report.

My husband first saw 3-4 objects moving generally SE and came inside to get me and I also saw them. They appeared vertical and some of them hovered and they were  silent. After 5-10 mins they remained stationary at a further distance and remained there for at least 30 min. The objects had pulsing lights of rgby and were not any type of aviation nav lights that we had ever seen.  We live in the country and had a good view and it was clear and about 35 degrees with no wind, also we used a pair of 10x40 bushnells to good effect and with those could easily see the movement and colors. Time was around 845 pm on 1-1-11. Please do not republish this without my permission.

Thank you. - SW

The Mike Wallace Interview
Major Donald E. Keyhoe
3/8/1958

hrc.utexas.edu- Former Marine Air Corps Major Donald Keyhoe, director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, conducted an investigation of the existence of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Keyhoe talks to Wallace about the United States military, reports of UFO sightings, the various theories explaining UFOs, government cover-ups, and the possibility of interplanetary war.

Watch the video here:

Note: Major Keyhoe maintained that UFOs exist and that the military/government believed we could not "handle the truth".  Evidently they still think we can't handle it.  I think they just won't tell us the truth, because they would have to admit they have been lying to us all these years. - SW

Last Texas UFO Sightings of 2010 - First Texas UFO Sighting of 2011

There were 28 Texas UFO sightings reported to MUFON in December, 2010.  It is unknown as to how many were reported to NUFORC, as they have not updated their site since November, 2010; however, I received reports that brings the total up to 34.  There may be other reports that have been submitted to other websites but I do not have a report on the numbers, as yet.

There were many compelling reports submitted (I have already posted them here on LITS) but here are the last two reports of 2010 and the first report of 2011, unedited.


Last two Texas UFO sightings of 2010:

MUFON Case # 27189
Date/Time: 2010-12-31 22:20
Location: Sherman, Texas
Shape:    Fireball, Oval
Distance: Unknown
Vallee Index: MA1
Summary: Object appeared to our north, moving somewhat fast,slowed alot, seemed to hover a min. ,still traveling south, hovered again and went east/south

Report:
We were sitting by a fire in our back yard, I saw something out of the corner of my eye in our northern sky. It was an orange/redish color fireball floating quickly, then slowed up quite a bit, then hovered a minuite,moved southward again somewhat slow, hovered again and then dissapeared to the east/southeast. We watched it until it had moved out of sight. When we first saw it you could tell it wasn't anything we had ever seen before. It wasn't like a falling star, as it changed speeds several times. My first thought was it was a ufo. It was a very exciting feeling to watch this object, however afterwards I looked on the internet and saw where there had been sightings of the same exact thing(there was video) in other parts of the country and world. It started to make me feel a little spooked and weary.


MUFON Case # 27193
Date/Time: 2010-12-31 22:35
Location: Trophy Club, Texas
Shape:    Fireball
Vallee Index: AN1
Summary: Orange fireball moved from west to east north of Trophy Club, Tx

Report:
While sitting at the dining room table we saw a bright fireball moving across the sky and we immediately went outside to see. The fireball moved from west to east much like an airplane, but definatly wasn't. The object appeared to be bright orange and on fire.


First Texas UFO Sighting of 2011:


MUFON Case # 27200
Date/Time: 2011-01-01 20:42
Location: Arlington
Shape:    Sphere
Duration: 00:02:15
Distance: Over one mile
Vallee Index: MA1
Summary: speedy orb flying at high speed, turned directions and flew in the opposite direction.

Report:
Me and my girlfriend were driving down I-30 headed eastbound. We were passing Cooper street in Arlington Texas, when I noticed an orb in the sky. The orb was very bright and a fair distance away from us. I kept looking for a blinking light to figure out if this was an airplane. I asked my girlfriend if she could tell if it was "blinking". At that exact moment my girlfriend let out a gasp and we both noticed that the object had changed complete directions, done a 180 degree turn and was now headed in the opposite direction. The orb sped up and was flying at an exceptionally fast rate of speed. I couldn't believe my eyes. Thank god my girlfriend was there to back up my story. We both experienced a low flying object, brightly lit, changing direction in mid flight pattern and flying at an extremely fast speed. By the way I should mention that the flight pattrn that the orb took was originally headed north and then took a turn and headed south and passed right over Cowboy's stadium in Arlington Texas. The orb vanished from our line of sight behind a building, when we drove around the building the orb was well gone.

Note:  If you have seen a "UFO", or other such phenomena, please report it to a reputable UFO reporting center (those listed on this site), or report your sightings to me here at LITS (Lights in the Texas Sky).

I do hope each and every one of you had a great 2010 and best wishes for a fantastic 2011! -SW

Dark Triangle-shaped UFO over Benbrook, Texas - 2009

This witness reports that on January 27, 2009 he watched a dark triangle-shaped UFO with 3 large white lights on one side, as it "floated silently" over him.  It then faded into the distance, as it moved slowly towards the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth.

Here is that unedited report to MUFON.

MUFON Case #  27159
Event Date/Time: 2009-01-27 00:00
City:    Benbrook
State:    Texas
Shape:    Triangle
Distance: One mile or less
Vallee Index: FB1
Summary: dark triangle shape with 3 bright unblinking white lights on one side

Report:
I was on Winscott, about to turn onto Lakeside, when I noticed what at first I thought were football stadium lights. By the time I turned onto Lakeside, I realized there was no stadium in that direction and the lights were too big anyway.

I pulled over and watched as a large, dark, triangular shaped object floated silently over me. It had 3 large white, unblinking lights on one side only (the lights that I had originally thought to be stadium lights)and was moving quite slowly, with no sound. It was coming from the direction of the lake moving toward the direction of the military Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, roughly SE to NW. It eventually faded into the distance (by this time my line of sight was such that I could no longer see the lights, just the shadow of the vehicle.)

I just kept asking myself "am I really seeing this?" It was like nothing I've ever seen before or since.

Report from Abilene - Light in the sky 12/29/2010

I received a report this morning, from a contact in Abilene, Texas.  She reports that she and her family watched from their home, as a strange light slowly traversed the night sky. The witness has previously reported lights in the sky over Abilene.  Here is her report. 

If you also witnessed this object in the sky, please contact me. Thanks, SW

Sunny,

I have another report for you.

12/29/10 at 9:00 pm to roughly 9:30 pm, my husband and I observed the same object as I reported before. At 9:00, we were sitting in the living room and noticed the bright star like object through the window. We sat inside for about 5 minutes watching it, thinking it might be a star, but then it started to flicker strangely, move slightly, and appeared to have 2 or 3 other lights blinking with it- like it was rotating? All the lights seemed to be from the same object. I went outside to observe it with binoculars; the binocs were not good enough. So from observation without binoculars, I watched as it seemed to pulse and flicker bright white to a reddish, orangish, and then blue, green. The object was in the same part of the sky, the south- southeast, at a high altitude and seemed a little larger than the stars in the sky. I came back inside to watch it from the window, and it moved a great distance away from us, more to the south, but it was a slow move, definitely very noticeable of how far it was away from the original position we first viewed it at. At one point after I came back in the object dimmed a lot, then disappeared, then came back bright and dimmed again as its position slowly changed in the sky. It then dimmed and changed position so much that it was hardly even noticeable from our previous view. We are now so intrigued that we are going to buy a telescope this weekend.

Have you had anyone from Abilene reporting this? I would really like to get a group together to discuss this as well as the geo-engineering in our skies. I did some basic research on those chemtrails, and yes someone is spraying something in our skies on a regular basis- it is just a matter of finding out exactly what is the composition of chemicals being sprayed. Texas has a visible weather modification program, as well as all states. 40 countries have been geo-engineering the weather for decades. The U. N. has suggested a ban on geo-engineering of the weather, but the U.S. did not sign on to that ban. I have a feeling the two are linked, our government is doing the geo-engineering and maybe the UFOs are trying to interfere? I do not know this as a fact, I am just grasping to understand why so much activity from our governments around the world, and the great amount of activity from UFOs and the link they have.

I will keep watching…as I am now aware to things that are out of the ordinary.

Battle of Los Angeles - Army vs. UFO, 1942... 2011?

The old:

Video Link

The new:

Video Link

Just imagine it is only a few weeks after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, when suddenly a huge craft of unknown origin appears over a major city.  The military responds by attacking this unknown craft, while hundreds of thousands of people watch in fear.  It isn't just a story line for a blockbuster movie, it really happened.

On February 25, 1942, about 7 weeks after Pearl Harbor was bombed and paranoia reigned, a huge spaceship appeared over Culver City and Santa Monica, California, along the city limits of L.A..   The Army's bullets and cannon shells were useless against the visitor, though some made direct hits.  Luckily for residents of Los Angeles, this visitor left without attacking back.  Would we be so lucky again?

For more information on this story, check out the excellent post by Lon Strickler, on Phantoms & Monsters.

Photo of Unknowns over Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas

Red dot on map denotes my location at time of photo.

My own personal experience:

Location: Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas
Date: August 3, 1999
Shape: Disc, Orb, Triangle

A few days ago I was going through some old photos of mine and came across a set of photos that I had taken on August 3, 1999. I recall that it was after a rain storm, that I noticed a near perfect rainbow to the ENE of Observation Point, Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas.

My spouse and I lived there and I owned/operated a custom photo lab.  I remember that I snapped off a few shots of the rainbow with my Nikon FM 35mm and the next day at work, I developed the film and printed the photos. I did notice an anomaly in one photo but didn't really think much of it.  At the time, I hadn't heard of triangle-shaped UFOs and since I had only printed 4x6 photos, I didn't notice anything else, so I filed the photos and forgot about them until recently.

I scanned the photo at high resolution.  I then enlarged the area of interest.  What I found is a triangular-shaped object with 3 large bright lights.  If you look closely, you can see a structure behind the lights.  The lights have a swirl pattern, as if the object was turning very quickly.

Below the triangle UFO I also found a bright orb, or disc-shaped object that appears to be leaving a trail of some kind behind it. Below the triangle and orb there appears to be a disc-shaped object. 

The photo I have posted here does not do justice, as I had to lower the resolution and re-sized the photo.  I cropped the images and enlarged them from the high resolution original, so you can see the objects.

At the time I took the photos, I do not recall seeing anything in the sky.  I was busy looking into the view finder and framing shots.  Whatever these are, they do not show up in any of the other photos.  The objects were there, then gone in the time it took me to take one shot.

Could it have been dust on the film or lens?  Most likely not, as I am very meticulous about keeping a clean camera lens and when I develop photos, I make sure that the film is dust/lint free and my chemicals are "clean".

These objects impressed me enough that I thought I would share them with you.  If you have seen, photographed, or videoed an unidentified flying object, please contact me. - SW
