Large Blue Light-1st Snow in 105 years. Witnessed a large (approx.size-1 city block) BLUE FOG LIGHT MIST, beaming upwards from ground up in a large field, upon uproach it moved or reappeared instantaneously approx.

1 mile down the road. Followed it for several miles as it appeared and reappeared until it was out of reach. Electrical transformers atop light poles were exploding in areas light traveled.

This evening (12-24-04)brought snow for the first time in 105 years. Two years later our local newspaper Valley Morning Star had a story about a farmer who was burning his field for tick infestation and discovered two large rings imprinted in his field in the same area my wife and I followed blue light/mist. Farmer indicated that his son who was on leave from Iraq war was alone in his home on X-mas eve of 2004 when suddenly a large blue light completely covered their home and ranch.

I know a UFO crew was called, but we have not heard anything since. I just wanted to report this in case someone else has seen it. PS: Contact Valley Morning Star for more info.

on farmers story. Good Luck. RAMBO.

The shiny hovering object sat there, then it was suddenly gone. I can't recall the date and I unfortunately looked away, so I never got a great look at it. I was driving our car with our son in the back and my wife in the passenger side.

We were travelling down Treadway Blvd headed north getting ready to turn at a light onto south 7th street. My wife had said something and about that time I looked up. Granted we were near the airport, but as an avid aircraft fan, I know a plane and chopper when I see them.

This wasn't either. It was oval in shape and just sat there in one spot. It was so shiny that you really couldn't look directly at it because of the sun glinting off of it.

From what I could see there were at least three lights situated around the top and a black thin line through the middle as if there were a line of windows. I turned to my wife and asked her what the thing was, and when she looked she said she didn't see anything. I looked back, and it was gone.

there was no way of knowing which direction or anything. If it hadn't been for ABC's show, I wouldn't have known about this. My wife keeps laughing at me saying I have lost it.

Hopefully there are more people in this area that saw this. It makes me feel so alone. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate.

Very bright static light with multi-colors. Static Flashing light. Very bright.

Thought it might have been a planet till you looked at it with binoculars and it had neon colors moving very fast within it. A plane came and flew by it but did not seem to return. I feel stupid saying these things.

I saw a UFO without a doubt a UFO! This occured on Wright Patman lake this morning Dec 18 2004. After setting up decoys for the morning hunt I sat down in the blind to get my shells and gloves out. It was clear this morning so I was looking at the stars.

Directly to the west of me was what looked like a star but it was a yellowish color and the light refracted different on the water, then it moved. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but it began moving faster in random directions, up, down, side to side but it always came back to the same general area.I was freaked out and by my self without a camera and knew no one would beleive me.

My hunting buddy was supposed to show up at anytime and I kept hoping it would hang around for him to see and it did. I watched it for a good 45 min before he showed up then we watched it another 30 before it was daylight. It was definalty NOT an airplane.

I would have given anything for a camcorder this morning. ((NUFORC Note: We do not know what the witnesses observed. If the object was, in fact, in the western sky, it could not have been Venus, which is in the eastern morning sky, currently.

PD)).

I saw a dim indeterminately shaped object that flew silently about 1.5 degrees per second whose only hint of its appearance was in the While trying to spot Geminid meteors in may subsurban back yard, a 737 came acros our house on the glide path into Love Field. While trying to divert my gaze from its landing lights, I noticed a very dim object about 1 degree of arc in length and of an indeterminate width, moving perpendicular to the path of the 737.

It seemed to occult some stars as it travelled (about 1.5 degrees/sec) at an indeterminate altitude. It appeared to have no luminescence except for the faintest shimmer as it moved across the starry sky.

It was travelling perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Its magnitude I would estimate between 4-5. It made no noise.

I observed it for about ninety seconds until it was no longer visible. It travelled unidirectionally North-to-South for the duration of its visibility.

I witnessed a cluster of extremely bright white, blue and red strobe type lights at a low altitude for about two hours. The observation started at approximately 7:45 pm. A cold front had recently passed through so the sky was with about a 10/15 mph north wind.

I took my dog outside as I do every night and the object caught my attention right away. I was looking east/southeast. It was approximately 15 degrees above the horizon and not moving.

The object was an extremely bright cluster of flashing red, white and blue lights in the shape of a cone or diamond (at times it was each). The first thing to come to my mind was a helicopter in a search pattern. As I watched it there was no movement or sound, it was way too bright and I have yet to see an aircraft with lights in this formation, brightness or colors.

I was not able estimate the size or distance of the object because of not reference points. There was a white light on top with red, white and blue lights flashing (not blinking) randomly around and on the bottom of the object. All of the lights had the intensity of strobes.

The lights would diminish in intensity and then get extremely bright. I watched it for approximately fifteen minutes and went back into my house to get my binoculars and my wife. She watched it for about 10 minutes.

It still showed no movement or sound. Through the binoculars I was able to better see the individual lights but not a structure. I watched it until approximately 9:40 pm.

During that time it again diminished in brightness and moved a few degrees to the south and a few in altitude. I finally got too cold and went back inside. The next night I went back out during the same time period to see if this may have been a star that had fooled me due light refraction with the combination of a recent cold front and closness to the horizon.

I check three times during the same time period and the sky was empty of any lights or stars. Just blackness. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain anonymous.

22 orange-yellow UFOs, flying low, fast and silently east to south over Texas A&M University 4 randomly moving followed by 18 in a line December 12, Sunday 2004, 10:15 CST. My husband and I stepped out for a cigarette and he drew my attention to a formation of 4 objects moving rapidly and silently across the sky over the east side of our building, moving south. The objects appeared in a diamond formation and at first glance I thought it might have been a large aircraft moving sideways.

The objects then began to circle randomly around each other (2 objects rotated clockwise while 2 others rotated alternate directions around the these) while maintaining course and speed south. They moved at a steady speed from the time that we saw them from the time they disappeared over the trees on the south side of our complex. 45 seconds to a minute later, while moving around to the other side of our complex, we saw a line of 18 objects in a half V formation, in the same direction (South) as the previous 4.

The objects looked identical in shape, color, and speed as the first 4, but they remained in formation until out of sight well over the far side of the Texas A&M University campus, which we can see from our parking lot. Again, they flew anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand feet above the ground, with absolutely no noise. They flew faster than birds and as fast if not faster than a jet airplane.

The objects were in a very very tight formation [nearly touching each other].

Two linear groups of maneuvering lights over Dallas, Texas 12/12/04 December 12, 2004 about 2025, North Dallas, Texas Viewing to the Northwest from the alley behind our house, maybe 20-30 degrees up from the horizon. Moving West to East, fast. Two linear groups of dim (practically invisible) lights.

One line of four or five, another of three, spinning and crossing each other's paths. If they were small and low, they were in the low hundreds of miles per hour. If they were high, which is how it looked, they were huge and hypersonic.

They were already past me when I spotted them, and faded from visibility within maybe five to ten seconds, after which they had covered possibly fifteen or twenty degrees of sky. There was what appeared to be a more conventionally lit aircraft (though definitely not conventional) moving in roughly the same direction, low and fast, but without noise. Since it looked more conventional, though, all my attention was on the dim lights.

If the brighter craft was just an airplane, it was unrelated, because I think that the dim lights overtook the path of the brighter, and their paths diverged noticeably. The brighter one disappeared first. The lights were very dim, but appeared white.

We are near the Southeast section of the local traffiic area for Addison airport, and there were several planes in the pattern. None were within a mile of the section of sky that had the strange lights (except for the one mentioned above.) The sky was crystal clear.

One of the clearest I've seen in Dallas.

Triangular shape craft seen from the Houston, Tx. area on 12/12/04 @ 2 a.m.

While taking my dogs outside before bed I noticed how clear the sky was (in the Houston area that is rare). The stars were more visable then I have seen in a while so I stopped to enjoy them. It was then that I noticed a triangular shape of lights while I was looking to the northwest.

I realized that there was a solid object inside the triangular shape of lights. I ran inside and called my brother who was spending the night and he came out and confirmed that he was seeing the same thing. I then went back inside and called a friend that was visiting from Dallas and my husband.

We all watched it for awhile and even took a digital picture but at that altitude you couldn't see the outline. The object never moved and the lights would blink sometimes a red or blue, though not at the same time. And a few times it would look like lights would flicker across the object.

I am 5'6" and standing with my hands raised with a ruler from the bottom of the Dipper, the object was the distance of around 14 inches to the north and the size of the object was 1 1/2" with the longer tip of the object (A light was on each tip) pointing to the WSW. There were also lights lining the sides of the object. While watching the object, it did not move that we could see, I noticed what I can only describe as two shooting stars to the south.

Whether this is related I do not know and I was the only one of the four that saw them. It is only conjecture among the four of us that the object was outside of our atmosphere because of the way that the object would go out of focus for a second very hazy and then be clear . The others went inside after about 20 minutes while I continued to watch.

Around 2:45 the clouds started to roll in and obscure the object and I went inside.

Triangle shaped lights slowly fade out and disappear. Traveling west bound on I-30 just outside of Greenville TX, noticed what appeared to be 3 bright "stars" in a triangle shape above the horizon. The lights appeared stationary, and they emitted the same white light of a star, just much brighter.

My wife first noticed them the same time I did. After a few seconds, all three lights slowly faded out until they were gone. I thought at first perhaps it was a plane that made a turn and we had simply lost view of the lights.

However, we both continued to look in the area the lights were last seen, and saw nothing else, nor were there any tall buildings or other structures around. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain anonymous. PD)).

Triangular formation of lights seen in the western sky above Van Alstyne, Texas fade away into the ether. Two of my old friends, my friend's dad and I were shooting the breeze around a campfire behind the barn beside their house in the country when my friend's dad points in the direction behind me and says "what the hell is that?!". As I turned we all saw a formation of three lights in the western sky I would say anywhere from 1 to 5 miles from our location east of the town of Van Alstyne and about 25 to 30 degrees above the horizon.

It could have been hovering anywhere between the airspace above town center and past highway 75 above the fields to the west. It was a very clear night, no clouds and high visibility. At first I thought it may have been a plane or 3 planes headed in our direction with landing lights on wich is strange because the flight path to DFW International Airport has traffic that usually heads east to west in our area.

What was unusually strange is that it did not move at all for at least 10 seconds and then all 3 lights faded simultaneously for about 5 seconds all in complete silence. All four of us definately agree to this part of the description whereas the details are mixed. I seem to remember that the topmost light in the middle was bright yellowish white much like an airliner's landing light while the 2 lights on the side where a duller blueish green much like a street light.

My friend and his dad seemed to remember the opposite with the greenish light in the middle and the white lights on the outside. I did not see if there was anything in the middle while the friend and his dad seem to have noticed a dark triangle in between the formation of lights. While the other friend vehemently belives that they were 1 or 3 airplanes they did not follow the normal patterns of any airplane I have ever seen in a low approach (I live just south of DFW airport and I am used to seeing exactly how airliners behave at low altitudes).

Also there were no port and starboard running lights or strobe lights and the other major detail, no sound. I am thinking about reporting to the local news in the area because it would have to have been seen from the highway if not seen from the locals who where at the time throwing a Christmas parade and festival. I have seen only one other unexplained phenomenon in my lifetime on lake Ponchartrain in Louisiana and have reported it on this site but this is far more inexplicable than anything I have ever seen in the night sky before.

Triangular 3-light formation with "dimmer switch" Hello, I am another witness of the Saturday, Nov. 11, 9:55 p.m.

triangular light siting west of Van Alstyne. The other report pretty much sums it up, I was with those guys so this report is really a confirmation or cross-refernece if you will. I would like to add that at least one of the lights had a pasty light green tint.

There position did not change much, only what appeared to be very slight movement, changes in tint and intensity. When the lights faded, it was as if they were turned out via a dimmer switch. It seems that the sky between the lights was darker, thus indicating a large triangular vehicle.

It appeared that if it were a single vehicle, it would be quite large, about 400 meters across. ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of the U. S.

Navy "NOSS" triplet of satellites, that orbit in formation. PD)).

Three lights in form of triangle in sky west of Fort Worth disappeared completely. Two were brilliant white & one orange. As I was driving west-bound at approximately 9:50pm, December 11, 2004, I noticed two bright lights next to each other straight ahead that were increasingly getting brighter.

A third light was directly between and a little above to two brighter lights. The three lights were in a formation of an acute triangle from my perspective. At first I thought it must be a very large aircraft approaching in my direction.

However, upon further observation, there was absolutely no movement among the three lights. The two brightest lights were brighter in magnitude than any star in the sky. They were exactly side-by-side of each other.

The magnitudes of those two lights were even brighter than the star Sirius (which was in the sky that night to the east) and about as bright as Venus sometimes appears. The two brightest lights had an equal magnitude. Those two lights slowly faded to nothing over a span of about 5 to 10 seconds, again with no movement.

The dimmer third light, which had an orange tint, remained for a few seconds then faded to nothing as well. The lights never reappeared. The sky was clear and only slightly hazy to the north, but stars were still visible above and around the area in which the lights appeared.

I saw no clouds in the area at the time, although I had observed a few thin clouds in the sky to the east about an hour earlier that evening. I observed the sky for several minutes after the lights disappeared and never saw a reemergence of the lights. My located was south of Fort Worth, TX and north of Crowley, TX while observing the lights to the west.

I could not tell how far away the lights were due to the lack of movement. I have never seen a sight of this nature. When referencing the lights against the stars in the background, there was absolute zero movement among them.

Two of the lights were too bright to be stars; yet they had the stillness of stars. Any aircraft would show evidence of movement unless they were ALL on a course DIRECTLY toward me or extremely far away. However, the lights faded off with no movement, either in reference to the background stars, or each other.

I cannot explain or understand what they could have been. The lights completely disappeared; a sharp contrast to the bright magnitude they had, especially the two brightest lights, just seconds before they faded to nothing without movement. Many times in the past, I have observed aircraft lights which seem to get brighter in magnitude as they approach in a path directly towards my location, only to dim as their paths change.

But their movements are always apparent in such cases and the lights never disappear. Although I was driving at the time, the lights were directly ahead of me and I had slowed down to nearly a stop observing them because I could not get my eyes off of them. While waiting for the lights to reappear I took note of the surrounding stars and, from my perspective, they were located in or below the region of the constellation Pegasus.

My vision was very clear in this case since I was wearing my corrective lenses at the time, which gives me a vision of 20/20. The dimmer, background stars of the lower portion of the Pegasus constellation remained quite clear.

Triangle of lights. Very large object west of Denton. Sat still for 10 seconds before fading from view.

A friend and I were standing in my driveway talking when he noticed a formation of three lights roughly 3-7 miles west of us in the direction of Fort Worth. The lights sat perfectly still for around 10 seconds then slowly faded in unison. The space between the lights was dark, indicating a solid object.

Two of the lights were blueish-green while one of them had an orange tint to it. Altitude was hard to judge (probably around 2 miles). The object was in the area east-northeast of Texas motor speedway.

There were no clouds and visibility was extremely clear. This object was huge. Far larger than any aircraft I know of.

My friend and I are somewhat knowledgeable on aircraft. Particularly fighter jets. We frequently attend airshows and have never seen an airborne object this size.

I was reluctant to report this but upon recent investigation I have found a few similar reports. There is a small airfield named Alliance fairly close to where this took place but there is no question that this was FAR to large to be a commercial airliner.

I saw a triangular shaped craft outlined in lights hovering over the highway that I was traveling on low & in front of me. On or around 12/9/04, I was on my way home from working late. While driving South on IH-45 approaching the League City, TX exit, I saw (as though it appeared out of nowhere) a triangular shaped craft sitting very low (maybe 25 ft above the ground).

I had time to see it, look to my left to see if I could pull over on the side of the road, look back and up - pulling myself closer to the steering wheel of my truck. As I went underneath it, I could see the bottom of the craft - dark, not smooth. It was dark outside and there were lights with a yellowish global glow/look to them all the way around the craft which made it's shape very easy to define.

Looking in my rearview mirror, it was gone. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Unseen Lights In The Sky I had my digital camera less than a week when I decided to take a picture of the multi-layered sky as a storm front was tracking into the are where I live. The storm was tracking nearly straight west to east and I was looking south down the line of the approaching storm. I only took one picture at that time and didn't see anything unusual flying in the sky.

It took me a few days to even review the pic on my camera before I noticed something odd. It took me a couple of more days to get my camera's photo software installed on my computer, download the picture, and import it into Paint Shop Pro. The orginal picture shows two unusual lights in the sky, one dim one in the upper left and the obvious one in the upper right.

All I've done in Paint Shop Pro is to brighten the image, do a couple of zooms on the lights, and create a negative image of the light on the right side. The zoomed light on the right appears to me to have a energetic field around it, and the negative of it makes this look even more apparent. If these are actual objects, they would have to have been shooting upward into the dark storm clouds so fast that I never saw them.

I've seen my share of air traffic in the area, but with that storm rolling in, there wasn't a plane in the sky. Other than fighter jets, I've never seen any aircraft flying upward at such steep angles, and never into a storm! I'm also certain there were no sounds of any jets in the area at that time either.

Gold Cigar shaped object seen moving away from Carswell AFB. Object was moving very fast. I thought it was an Aircraft ditching into Lake Worth.

There were many drivers on the road ( North loop 820) at the same time I saw it.

Bright Blue flash seen in the N.W. sky.

I thought I was seeing things. I live by the DFW airport, just off of 121north and Grapevine Parkway. I live in apartments where you can see just over the tree line.

I was putting up Christmas lights, on my porch when I saw a very strange light. Extreemly bright blue, almost like a pulsating blue. I know that it wasn't an airplane because it was admitting one bright blue light.

Also, most of the planes must have seen something because it was bright enough that from there view it must have been a sight to see. As I watched it, it shot stright up in the sky and left a "light trail" behind it. I lost it because of the cloud cover that evening but I know that it couldn't have been a commercial plane because of the speed.

When I told my friends about it they just laughed and said I was seeing things. This was my first "sighting" of what I couldn't explain. Its my first UFO sighting, in my words.
