Bright lit clouds on pitch dark night. On my way home from shopping. it was pitch black - and although there was a nearly full moon, what I saw was uncommon for our area.

surrounding the moon for 1/4 mile left to right were luminescent clouds- like something was shinning a flash light only it was horizontal and about 1/4 mile wide. I watched the lit up clouds for a distance and then took my eyes away to turn in the drive and when I looked back, the light was gone. The clouds look like they were lit up from behind.

the moon was clearly visible as it was just above the clouds and it was not shinning through them. As I said, it was pitch black else where in the sky, and when the light went out it was dark again. There was no light coming from the ground like a search light, it was strictly in the sky.

I walked outside this morning and looked in the darkness of the sky and looked at the stars as I always do hoping to see some kind of alien object, and finally this morning I seen one of those stars start to move and thought it was just a meteor or satalite. This star like craft was moving at a high rate of speed and gained speed as me and my wife watched it go by. This moment has been checked off my bucket list.

Strobing light in the sky over Ovilla, Texas. Around 11:30 pm on December 22, 2012. My wife and I plus our son, his cousin, sister in law, and mother in law witnessed a strobing light through the clouds in a stationary position east from our back porch.

We watched the strobing light for a good 15 mins. It's cold outside so we all went back inside. About 15 mins later we walked back outside and the strobing object had moved in our direction almost over our next door neighbors house.

The object was far up in the sky and you could tell it was huge cause the strobing light was massive that came off of it. Then all of a sudden it disappeared. Never in my life have I seen anything like this.

Just wish it wasn't so cloudy so I could see what it was for sure.

I'm willing to take a lie detector test and drug test to prove this is not a hoax! ((NUFORC Note: Possile sighting of Sirius? PD)).

Multiple sightings of bright, round orange objects within 30 minutes (at different locations). My wife had just picked up some dinner and on her way back to our house, she noticed bright orange balls behind her car (big enough to notice). She turned around and went back towards the direction of where the objects were.

By this time, the objects were now on her right side in the sky. The objects were low but above tree lines. She pulled into a neighborhood and saw 3 similar orange balls in a triangular formation.

The objects then disappeared. She drove forward to see if the objects had moved but did not see anything. She called me on my phone at this time.

I was around 5 minutes from where she was and drove towards her. She came back to where she was in the neighborhood and saw the objects again. This time there was a man in his car also looking at the objects.

My wife asked this man if he was seeing the same thing and he said yes and that he just saw around 9 to 10 objects. When I made it to where my wife was, there was nothing in the sky. After waiting for 5 minutes we drove back towards our house.

On the way back, I looked to my left and saw 2 orange ball like objects in the distance above the tree line. One object looked bigger than the other. Both objects were bigger than anything in the sky but smaller than the moon.

I turned around and drove towards the objects but could not spot them. While driving back, I was on a freeway overpass and saw orange lights on my left. I pulled over on the shoulder and saw four to five orange balls shoot up from the ground and disappear within seconds.

The objects appeared to shoot up from the ground. The area was in the middle of a couple of TV towers. That was the last sighting.

Red/orange Light in sky above Burleson, Texas 12-21-12 As I was waiting at a light, I noticed a reddish-orange ball of light moving across the sky towards my position form the distance. It seemed to be moving much to quickly to be a plne, and the light did not blink or change in intensity, except to become more distinct as it came closer. As the traffic signal changed i drove through the intersection and began to look for a spot to pull over while still keeping the light in my feild of vision.

I noticed it began to arc, towards the rear of my vehicle and immediately pulled to the side of the road. the turn was not an abrupt change of direction, at first, but a very tight arc, and as I exited my car with phone in hand, the ball of light shot straight up, ascending until it was no longer visible so quikly I had to bink to regain focus and start searching the sky. The people across the street were alarmed at my pulling over so quickly and after I asked what they had seen, as they were also searching the sky, they admitted that they hadn't seen anything but had heard a sound, like a whistling associated with something moving very fast, and were already looking for what had caused the sound.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and he sounded to us to be quite eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD)).

24 amber orbs hovering in Houston sky at 2AM 12.21.12 12.

21.2012 Webster TX. 2AM     I was on the phone with my friend, when I saw an amber colored light rise from the tree line.

Living close to NASA and ELINGTON FIELD, I was used to seeing odd lights and aircraft. I mentioned seeing something odd and as soon as I did, 2 additional orbs appeared creating a triangular shape. I told my friend what I was seeing, he had doubts as did I.

A strand of 3 lights appeared to the left. They rose quickly in a perfect line, and also took shape as a triangle. The orbs in total were 6, brilliant and amber/orange in color.

They slowly turned and faced the south where they disappeared through the tree line.     I was in shock. I ran inside and woke my wife to tell her what I had seen.

I involuntarily frightened her, but asked her to come see with me. She decided to stay in bed, but I wanted to see more. Still on the phone, I went back out and continued watching the tree linew in the same southern direction.

A total of 3 more times, orbs rose in the sky forming two large pyramid shapes. In all, I saw 24 orbs this morning.     I tried to record what I saw with my phone, but after coming inside, I realized my camera phone was facing the wrong way, so there was just darkness and the sound of my voice in the video.

I'll never forgive myself. I know what I saw though and it was not candles or balloons in the sky. The patterns were too precise.

The distance from me was 10 miles at most, and the orbs size and position only helped confirm the enormous size of each triangle that formed in the sky.     I will be sitting at my back door with a camera facing the right direction, precisely at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning for another once in a lifetime chance to catch what I saw hovering quietly in the night.      I hope that others thinking they saw something this night won't feel alone.

I saw it too.   True Believer Webster Tx.

Viewed a 5-6 shaped ufo, with pulsating lights hovering above my vehicle on highsway 36 near Cameron Texas. First of all my name is ((named deleted)), I'm 17 y/o and I live in Houston. I've never believed in UFOs before in my life until last night.

At 7:30pm me and my mom left Houston to drive to my grand parents ranch in Copperas Cove Texas. Along the drive around 11pm, Thursday, December 20th, we saw a pulsating bright light in the distance; the light would change between completely bright and completely dark in 1 second intervals. I noticed it looked odd, although at such a far distance it was hard to call it anything other than a plane.

So I disreguarded it, and kept looking at the landscape. Suddenly, I heard my mom shriek and I looked out the windshield to my upper left hand corner; what I saw almost looked completely unlike anything I've ever seen before outside of movies. A five to six sided hexagon looking ship was seemingly hovering almost directly above our vehicle.

Imagine sitting in the passenger seat and looking up to the left through the windshield, the object I saw was about the size of a gold dollar, so I am assuming it was no further then a half mile above our heads. The only time you could see what it clearly looked like, is when it was iluminated, although it was hard because it was flashing in 1 second intervals like a strobe light. The object was gray on the bottem and each corner of the shape had a light.

I could tell that the object wasn't skinny, it looked like a hotel in mid air, the size of it was jaw dropping. As soon as the UFO was no longer in view outside of the windshield, (Directly above us, but blocked by the material on the roof of the car), I grabbed my moms phone and crawled to the back of the car and began to film. By this point it seemed as if it had covered a vast amount of distance.

Note that there were atleast 4-5 cars behind us on the same road. The name of the road we were on is Highway 36 right outside of Cameron, Texas. Even now I am having a hard time believing my eyes.

The way it was moving was completely unlike anything I've ever seen before. There was no noise, there also was trail of gas or any type of fuel in its wake. Leading me to believe that it wasn't some massive oddly shaped plane flying at a low altitude.

Once again I never in my life have believed in alien technology or UFOs of any sort. Attatched are zoomed in screenshots of the video I took, and a video. In Stevensville on December 19th there was a sighting and the video resembles mine almost exactly.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with both this young man, and with his mother. Both of the two witnesses to the event struck us as being quite sincere, and quite sober-minded. We suspect that both mother and son describe their experience quite sincerely, and honestly.

PD)).

Octagon shaped bright grayish ship in sky, near Cameron Texas on highway 36. Blinking. Fast.

Scary I must preface, I'm somewhat nervous to have to explain something of this nature. Never in a million years would I have thought it remotely possible in reality. Last night my son and I were driving on hwy 36 around 11:30 on our way to my mothers house in Coppers Cove TX.

In the distance we noticed a very bright flashing light. My first thought was that it could be a plane, helcopter or a signal tower with unuasually bright lights. We continued to watch it when suddenly it was RIGHT ON ABOVE of our SUV! There are few words that will effectively relay to anyone that wasn't there just how large and utterly surreal looking this thing was.

It was shaped like an octogan with flashing lights on all sides. It looked like a building floating in the sky. It had debth/structure to it that's hard to put into context.

I was in shocked and as a mother I became fearful this thing could be a potential threat considering how close it was. So I stepped on the gas to get a! way from it. I was driving way over the speed limit and not looking back when it occured to us to take a picture or video.

My son was in the back filming what was left of it at that point. Both my son and I were just floored by what was happening. I'm extremely dissappointed we didn't think soon and capture the object in solid form.

When we first saw the object it was about 400 meters above us, close enough for us to realize its enormous size, hexagonal shape, and its grey/concrete color. By the time my son had pulled out a camera and moved to the back of the vechile to film, it appeared to have distanced itself subtaintally from us, at least a few miles away. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and she sounded to us to be very sincere and sober-minded.

We suspect that she is a highly reliable witness. She also sounded quite emotionally shaken by her experience. PD)).

I saw a bright light in the northern sky moving east to west faster than a normal aircraft & making fast and slow turns. I Saw a bright light in the northern sky moving east to west faster than a normal aircraft. I thought it was a satellite until it made several sharp turns left to right and right to left at slow and fast speeds.

The object was brighter than the north star and appeared high enough to be reflecting the sun. It began a series of figure eights and widening them as it flew. It then appeared to hover or stand still until it moved off to the west at a high rate of speed and disappeared.

12-17-12 Circular object to the west 30 degrees up pulsing bright then dim. Duration, 15 seconds, 2 witnesses at 9:35 pm.Fritch tx.

My son and I got home from his basketball game and were walking in and to the west about 30 degrees up in the sky we saw what we thought was a planet. It was orange with some yellow color in it flickering brighter then dimming in a stationary position for about 8 seconds. Then the object started to move to the south very slowly, still circular in form but getting brighter in intensity.

As the object continued to the south it dipped down about 5 degrees very quickly continuing at the same slow pace south bound as before. Then three slow out of time blinking lights appeared on the outside of the object, pulsing off and on but not like a planes lights blink. Then the bright orange, yellowish center of the object went out and just the little blinking lights remained.

The craft continued south bound very slow and then dissapeared, not because it was too far to see but just vanished. This all took place over a span of about 15 seconds. My family always watch the skies at night and in the daytime.

We have a mare than basic understanding of fundemental sciences and other related topics. Always using logic first in any situaion in life. It was as if the ufo changed itself from a stationary object to a mimic of a small plane.

I cant figure this one out using normal logic.

High altitude light beams out of clouds in vertical pattern Observed a single light column absolutely vertical, begining about 3000 to 5000 feet above ground and into thin clouds up to estimated altitude of 10000 feet. It looked like a spotlight from the ground but did not move. Three aircrew observed it for another five minutes, and then additional beams appeared until five were seen.

The first beam was the brightest. All observations were through night vision goggles and could not be seen with unaided vision. The cloud layers were reported as 25000 broken.

The first beam varied in intensity and at times emitted a brighter glow from the middle. The beams never moved, just faded out some but the first brighter beam remained until our line of flight placed the sightings behind the aircraft.

On Saturday night, at around 8:30 p.m CST on Dec. 8, 2012, I saw what appeared to be a shooting star or a meteor.

I witnessed the event from the back porch of my residence located in north east Odessa, Texas. The large circular mass was moving diagonally in an easterly direction followed by a long tail. The object, which was orange or amber in color was moving swiftly upward and then as it began to descend an explosion occurred that lighted up the sky for one or two seconds.

Then the object descended quickly to the east. The entire incident lasted about 10 to 15 seconds. I would estimate the object as being fairly large, perhaps about one tenth to one fifteenth the size of a full moon.

Mulitple Light formations of many colors We were leaving the house when the wife noticed these odd lights traveling silently from south to north. Came in several groups, no recognizable formation, but most groups were 5-10 lights and seemed fixed in relative position. Some groups appeared more fluid.

Utterly silent. Red, white, blue, green and orange colors were observed, so changing from one to the other. Colors were odd in appearance.

Just a big convoy in the night sky.
