MUFON Case #38085
Location: San Marcos, Texas   
Date of Sighting: 05/11/2012
Shape: Orb/Sphere

3 red-orange glowing orbs moving in sky, hovered then moved again, from Wimberly Texas area toward Seguin Texas Area, Disappeared in sky directly above where I and others stood watching!    

I was preforming the duties of my job which require me to be outside patrolling at night. I happened to look up (as I like looking at the stars) and I saw 3 red-orange orbs that were then joined by a 4th of the same color and approximately the same size. At first I thought maybe they were stars or meteorites but they where first off moving and then also moving to slowly. I saw them in the sky down the street from where I was and the lights moved toward where I was but not "at" me. You could hear a slight whirring noise as they got closer but they were not planes. The lights almost resemble fire but not really. They were moving over the highway from the direction of Wimberly, Texas very slowly when they were almost over the complex I work at they stopped, hovered a moment and then continued moving slowly toward Seguin, Texas ( I think that is East to West...not really good at the cardinal directions haha). When they were above the complex I work at/ field next the the complex they just disappeared like they were never there. One of the lights did sort of fade come back and then disappear but the others were just gone and the noise with them! Although I am curious about what they were I dont really care...It was exciting. I ran to try to get my family but the lights were gone before they came out. Several people stopped at our complex squealing and yelling excitedly "Did you see that? Did you see that? What were they?" Another person said that people were stopped in the street in town trying to take videos and photos...he said they wouldnt come out on his own camera and my phone wasnt strong enough to pick them up as I have an older phone.

Mist Shrouded Boomerang - Abilene, Texas

Witness depiction of mist shrouded boomerang
MUFON Case #37907

*

A witness in Abilene, Texas reports observing a mist shrouded black boomerang-shaped object with blue lights on the underside of the "wings".

Though the object was observed on March 21, 2012, it has just recently been reported.

Here is that unedited report.


MUFON Case #37907
Location: Abilene, Texas
Date of Sighting: 2012-03-21
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Sighting Duration: 00:03:00
Object Flight Path: Straight-line path
Object Shape: Boomerang

Black Boomerang UFO with blue-white lights along wings, shrouded in mist

I was in my back yard viewing the night sky from my patio, it was a fairly clear night and had been star gazing for 30 minutes without anything unusual to note when a strange dark object caught my eye as it passed in front of the stars in the southern sky.

At first I thought it was something else, though I didnt know what it could be, maybe a flock of birds, a civilian or military aircraft. Most of the objects structure was visible as a black boomerang shape, with about 4-5 light blue-white lights along the bottom side of the wings, but there was something strange about it.

There appeared to be a mist or a shadow all around it as it flew across the night sky towards the north. The object and its lights were visible, but the effect of the "mist" surrounding it made me blink and strain to focus at what I was seeing even though the outline of the object was clear.

I didnt have my binoculars and my wife was inside, so I debated on staying to watch the object but I knew I didnt have much time before it would pass out of line-of-sight, blocked from view by surrounding houses.

I ran through the house and grabbed my binoculars and yelled at my wife to come outside quickly as I ran out the front door. I could not find the object again though.

The "Avengers" Battle Aliens On The Silver Screen

Video Link

Note:  If you don't like spoilers, you might not want to scroll down. 

I actually got to see a movie on it's opening weekend.  Hubby and I drove to the Majestic Theater in Eastland, Texas, to see the Avengers.

I have my dad to thank for my love of comic book heroes, both Marvel and DC.  When I was but a wee lass, Dad would take me to the local comic book store each week, where we would seek out new reading material, both new and used. How I loved those outings with my Dad.

Along with my college level science books, I always looked forward to flipping the pages of the 10 cent comics, following the stories and enjoying the artwork.  Some of mine and my Dad's Marvel favorites were Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, X-men and my personal favorite, Silver Surfer.   The silver surfboard flying alien may have his own movie by 2014.

Note that my Dad started reading comic books during WWII.

On the DC side, I favored Superman, Aquaman, The Flash and Green Lantern.  For some reason, I never was that much of a Batman fan but he sort of grew on me in my later years.  Maybe Adam West had something to do with that... or not.

As I got older, I had less time for comics, or maybe I thought I'd outgrown them.  I must be entering my second childhood, because the comic book heroes of my youth still engage me today, only now on the silver screen.

As for the Avengers movie, it was what I expected and that isn't bad at all.  The premise is alien technology in the wrong hands, brings more aliens and lots of destruction.  There's those pesky aliens again, which are apparently used by Loki (Thor's adopted brother) and led by Thanos (for you comic geeks out there).

When it comes out on DVD, you can bet that I will be adding Avengers to my collection.  If you haven't seen the movie yet and you like the characters, fast action and high tech special affects, you'll be pleasantly surprised.  There's a spoiler at the end, so you know there will be a sequel.  I look forward to it.

Additionally, Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man... perfect.

Supermoon 2012

We had clouds early on but they finally cleared and I was able to grab a shot of this year's supermoon. 

Mine is not so spectacular a photo, as the moon was already high in the sky.  However, it was a decent shot for my Sony Handicam Hybrid, with 60X optical zoom.

Photos of Objects - Aledo, Texas - 5/4/2012

*

*


*

A colleague and friend of mine sent photos and a brief report, of what he captured with his camera.

A violent thunderstorm swept through the Aledo, Texas area, on the afternoon of Friday, May 4, 2012.  My friend was lucky to capture an anomaly during all the lightning strikes and hail.

As you can see in the first picture, there appears to be an object (upper left hand corner of the photo).  According to the witness, it appears to be a disc, almost vertical and seen "on edge".

I raised resolution and enlarged the object.  It does not appear to be a bird.  The witness informed me that during the storms, all birds and animals had already taken cover and were nowhere to be seen.

There does appear to be some sort of distortion around the object, giving it the appearance of an energy field (possibility).

The witness stated that before the storm and while he watered the trees, a military helicopter buzzed the residence, at approx. 800 feet.  The close proximity of the chopper actually "shook the ground."

After the storm had passed and the sun had set, my friend noticed an orange light to his southwest.  It was moving about, which shows in the first photo below.

The second photo below, shows the orange orb after it stopped moving about in the sky.  This sighting took place at 9:30 PM.

Cigar-shaped Object Over Riverdale, Bronx, NYC

*

*

I received this emailed report today, from a witness in New York City, 

Location: Riverdale, Bronx, New York City, NY
Date of Sighting: April 25, 2012
Time of Sighting:   07:25
Duration of Sighting:  3 minutes
Shape of Object:  Cylinder/Cigar

Recent sighting of object similar to May 3 Dallas UFO
Hello,

I have been searching the internet trying to find something similar to what I saw in the sky over the Riverdale section of the Bronx, NYC on April 25, 2012 at 7:35 in the morning.  I was stunned by the artist's representation on your site of the UFO seen flying over Dallas on May 3, 2012 because it was shockingly similar to what I saw.

I was on my balcony facing west when I noticed what I first thought was an abnormally low-flying airplane.  We are in the flight path for La Guardia airport and I'm used to seeing aircraft regularly.  As I watched this object, which was traveling south (and NOT in the regular flight path for either take-off or landing at La Guardia), I realized that I couldn't see any wings or tail fins.  I also realized that I couldn't see any windows.  The object was bright white, and the best I can describe it was that it looked like the fuselage of an airplane but with bluntly rounded "nose" and "tail"--sort of like a giant white pill capsule--with a very pale, almost indistinguishable gray band around the middle.  At the same time, or very shortly after, I saw the object, I also saw a regular aircraft traveling west (and perpendicular to the object) along the normal flight path.  The regular aircraft appeared to be much higher than the object I was watching and I was still able to make out its wings and tail fins.  The object I saw was moving along almost leisurely and I kept looking at it as it moved past me to check if I could see wings once I had a rear view of it.  No wings.  No tail fins.  This sighting bothered me because, on the one hand I knew that I had seen something "not right", but on the other hand I was trying to convince myself that it MUST have been an airplane.  So, I began to search the internet and today I found the picture on your site.  What I saw had no windows or cockpit and the nose was as bluntly rounded as the tail.  In fact, the only reason I make a distinction between the nose and tail of the object is because I naturally assumed the object was "following its nose", so to speak as it traveled south.

The sighing lasted at least 3 minutes.  I was awake, on my second cup of coffee and my first cigarette.  I also had my glasses. It was full daylight and a very clear, cloudless day.  The sun (which was behind me and already slightly above my 7-story building) was reflecting off both the object I saw as well as the conventional aircraft I compared it to.

So, thank you for letting me share my sighting.  And thank you, too, for your site.  I am now convinced that I'm not crazy and that I don't need new glasses.

Regards,

[Name withheld by SW/LITS]
