Full Report Text:

Me and my friend was going from his house to my house and in the sky one after another red lights following each other very slow and then taking off very fast and as soon as one will disappear another one will pop up they were bright red and they were coming from north to south Grover Cleveland and as soon as I get on top of us they took off West disappearing into the distance with no blinking lights crazy looking bright neon pink if you will ((NUFORC Note: We attempted to contact via telephone the source of the report, but our call was not answered, and the party has not set up his voicemail box. Hoax?? PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Procession of 11 fireballs What I initially noticed was a large orange light that was kind of glowing rather than blinking like normal aircraft. As I continued to watch the craft fly from right to left (south toward the north) about 50 degrees from the horizon I realized it's too big to be a Chinese lantern (about half the size of a dime held at arms length) and is not any kind of aircraft I am familiar with. no other lights just one large glowing fireball.

It was flying at a normal airplane speed. maybe a little slower and produced no sound. About a minute later I see a second object flying from the same direction.

It to goes by then a third, a fourth. I watch ten orange fireballs go by. They were flying at different altitudes and distances, some are larger some smaller and have slightly different 'shape'.

The tops produced a slight halo of a lighter shade of orange. I ran into the house and grabbed my iphone and came back outside in time to film the final one go by. I think it was 11 total but it may have been 12.

It was like a ufo parade. Very strange. I'm certain others must have seen it as they flew across the whole of east and north San Antonio.

After they left a couple airplanes, possibly military, flew past the general area.

Bright light hovering in sky at night with rotating "fan" around. The light at the center of object changed brightness. My cousin and I were driving around our ranch 30 miles south of the town of Texhoma in the Panhandle of Texas on the night of December 27th, 2016, from about 7:00 p.

m. to 9:30 p.m.

Below is a detailed account of an object we saw in the sky that night. I will email videos. At about 7:15 p.

m., I commented on how bright the stars were to my cousin and while looking at the sky I noticed a bright light in the west-northwest direction from us that was too large and too bright to be a star in the sky. I commented on it, but my cousin and I didn’t think too much of it as we thought it was a plane passing through.

A few minutes passed by, and I turned my attention back to the stars and noticed the light again. It didn’t appear to have moved from when I initially saw it just a few minutes before. We talked about how that was kind of odd so we watched it for maybe 2-3 minutes.

It was hard to gauge the distance between us and the object being that it was already dark outside. I would estimate it was somewhere around 5-10 miles away. The object appeared to be moving but at a pretty slow pace.

At this point in the night the object looked like a big circular bright light in the sky. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD)) We quickly lost interest in the object again and ended up driving about 40 miles north to another ranch of ours located on the north side of Texhoma.

It was about 8:15 p.m. and I looked up to the sky and saw the object again.

It was in the west-southwest part of the sky at this point, which makes me think it did not move a whole lot. It was noticeably closer making it much bigger and brighter than just an hour before. My cousin and I both witnessed this and we also noticed that there appeared to be something spinning around the light.

It appeared to be like a fan or a mill and it was moving very fast around the circular light but it was not lit up so it wasn’t as clear. This really got our attention so we pulled over and got out to watch it for around 20 minutes. It was moving back and forth at the same slow pace but not getting much closer to us or following any sort of pattern.

The light was a whitish yellow with instances of slow and subtle hues of red and orange. It appeared to change brightness and sometimes the circle would get bigger and the light would be less concentrated and then it would almost insta! ntly shr ink to about half its size and at the same time become much brighter. After looking at it in awe for around 20 minutes we got back in the vehicle and started driving back to town.

We began going west directly at the light but it appeared further and further away as we headed directly toward it. We then hit the main highway and hopped on it going south back to town for the night. The object faded off into the distance behind us.

The only thing that I can think of in this part of the world that would be that high in the sky are the grain elevators, which have lights on them. However they have many lights all over them. I am stumped.

I can confidently say it was a flying object. However, I have never seen anything like it and I have seen thousands of planes go over our land in the day and at night in complete darkness. I was able to snap a couple pictures and videos of the object while at the ranch north of town.

I will email to the address provided on the site. The email will be labeled “UFO TEXAS PANHANDLE”. Thanks ((initials deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of Venus in the southwest sky?? PD)).

bright light larger and brighter than anything in the sky. stationary google christmas star.thats it i went out at 1840 pm to have a smoke and noticed a big bright light in the southwest sky.

I first thought it was a aircraft of sometime but it wasnt moving. i watched it for 7-10 minutes and it was stationary in the sky. This light was huge compared to stars and other lights in the sky.

I put my little finger on my right hand over the light to try and gauge its size. The lights size was that about halve the size of a pencil eraser. It was very bright and to be honest the closest thing I could compare it too and i know this sound hokey but it's shape reminded me of "the star of Bethlehem".

just a big bright light with a four point star look. I came inside house to grab camcorder and it's battery was dead so i started charging my camera. I then went to google and googled astronomy events and all i could find was that Jupiter was near waning crescent moon at 1am this morning.

I could find nothing about what I was seeing. I went back out and watched some more and it was just a big stationary light. At no time did i think this was a Helicopter as I see those all the time with there spot lights on.

Since it was dark I couldnt tell if this was a celestial or terrestrial light.i believe it was celestial. I came back outside at 1950 and the light is completely gone!! it is just gone.

we do have some clouds but I can still see the stars that are much dimmer than this light in the southwest sky. I have no idea what I saw. I wanted to submit this report in case someone else witnessed the same thing.

I just googled star drawings and the image that fits what I saw is the "christmas star".that's the closest i can describe for you.

3 triangular shaped craft - flying in V-formation from West to East, just North of Dallas Texas, and the night sky was very clear 01:26am or 01:27am, today on December 19, 2016. I saw my first UFO's in my lifetime, it was interesting. (I am 53 years of age) 3 relatively small triangular shaped craft - flying in formation from West to East, and witnessed them as I was standing in my front yard.

(just North of Dallas Texas, and the night sky was very clear) They emitted just a faint/low white light, and their formation was close together and smooth. They were all the same size and shape, and traveled in a somewhat close together V-formation - although their close proximity to each other had slight lateral variance as they were traveling. They were completely silent and traveling quite swiftly and much faster than commercial aircraft - approximately twice the speed.

The trailing/back edge of these triangular crafts indented slightly in their shape. All of the leading and end points on these craft were slightly rounded. I guessed them around 10,000 ft.

altitude. My first personal estimate on these UFO's is that they are U.S.

technology. When I first noticed them from further away, I thought it was marker lights from a lower flying commercial jet airplane. I actually am grateful and feel privileged that I saw them.

White round object comes under front door and flies thru living room (on video). On the morning of Saturday December 10, 2016, at 07:12 AM, my wife’s phone received an alert that the living room security camera had pick up motion. We were still in the bedroom.

My wife and I are the only people living in the home, so I assume our dog must have set it off. ((dog's name deleted)) (the dog) is gated off from the living room, but I thought we might have left the gate open inadvertently. I checked the event recordings and saw a white round something come under the front door, fly in a non straight line through the living room and past the camera.

I do not know what it was. The dog gate was closed, doors locked and deadbolted. I have saved the video of the event.

House Shaking Aerial Down Burst. On Tuesday December 6, 2016, at 1:15 p.m.

central time, people in southern Brazoria County (south of Houston) all heard, and felt, something that was like a giant door closing, something dropping or a big downward aerial push. There were no seismic events reported by the geophysical web sites that track such things. It was not an industrial event.

There were reports from the cities of Angleton, TX, Freeport, TX. and Lake Jackson, TX. Included here is a post from the local newspapers' Facebook account.

The Facts 15 mins· We have checked with multiple law enforcement agencies, as well as the plants, to see if they could provide any information on the reported explosions/house-shakings in Brazosport and Angleton. They are as curious about them as the rest of us. We will report on anything they and we are able to find out.

I spoke to Mr. Davenport about this and he suggested making this report. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with a news reporter at the local news outlet for Brazoria County, TX, www.

TheFacts.com, and she confirmed that her offices had received similar reports. The journalist added that she had contacted local government offices, and had found no one who was able to cite the cause of the sounds.

Circle in shape. 1/4 mile wide. Completely a white light.

hovering about 100 feet from the ground. Made no sound. The light took me inside of it.

Inside the light. I vanish. I couldn't see myself or my car.

All I saw was a purple white light and hear a humming sound. Like a speaker getting a electric charger in it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I was just star gazing around seven thirty pm on November 30th. Saw something bright orange out of the corner of my eye so I quickly grabbed my 20x80 binoculars. At first by just looking at it with a naked eye it seemed to just be a single orange light but under magnification I saw the three orange circle lights at each corner of the craft.

It moved fast across the horizon. Much faster than a jet but slower than a meteor. After 15 seconds or so it disappeared.

Myself and the accompanying witness work in a water treatment plant, as we were walking along the catwalk we noticed flashing lights above us, it would flash white lights then disappear for up to 10 seconds at a time. It was moving at a steady speed but after it would disappear it would reappear in a completely different location offset from its original course. It seemed as if an airplane was attempting to follow it.

Full Report Text:

This object was not metallic, it was organic. This event occurred at 0308 hrs, 20 November, 2016 in Victoria, Texas. I saw an object in the moonless sky that was not a legacy saucer shape nor was it metallic, or have lights.

This object was organic, fleshy, and ‘seemed’ to be several miles long. The object described above was traveling from ESE to WNW. My field of vision was 30% blocked by a tree to the east, I was facing south, and the object came into view over the tree.

It took about 5 seconds to traverse my vision field to the westerly horizon. But before doing so it changed direction by about 15 deg to the NW, and within 1 second my LOS was blocked by a neighbor’s rooftop. The object was estimated to be at or above earth’s atmosphere.

From my point of view, the object was approximately 4 inches long, if you able to measure it with a ruler. Morning astronomical twilight was 0601 hrs, and sunrise was going to be near 0727 hrs on this date. Moonrise was going to be near 2257 hrs, which places it underfoot.

The bottom of the object was reflecting light from the approaching sunrise. The color range was from ‘pony tail badge’ to ‘pastel yellow’. The estimated position (near edge of atmosphere) and length (several miles long) was calculated by the angle which light might hit an object at 300 miles ASL, estimated sunrise, trajectory (speeding away from sunrise), and it’s actual length perceived (4” long).

The object can be described in this way: Its dimension was 10 units long, 1 unit wide, and 0.1 unit thick. Its horizontal axis was along its length.

Shape was not unlike a colored crepe paper streamer when twisted like a double helix, DNA strand. It was almost certainly translucent. I could see through it.

If it were not for the sun’s illumination I would not have seen it. It was ‘ribbed’ across it’s width. The ribs were narrow, rounded, and approximately 0.

25 units thick. I would estimate that there were 25 ribs spaced evenly across a 10 unit length. The object rotated slowly on its horizon axis and looked like the above mentioned streamer if thrown into the air.

four to six light clusters in eastern sky While on a family walk in McKinney, Texas, at 8 pm, November 20, 2016, the two adults noticed a faint cluster of four to six blinking lights in the eastern sky about sixty degrees from the horizon. They appeared to have coloration of green, white, and blue hue. The objects seemed to move.

There were three children ages, 10–14 who also witnessed the cluster. They walked to their home still observing the cluster. The grandmother then observed the cluster and being a retired, science teacher she immediately confirmed that this was a unique phenomenon.

Full Report Text:

Two observers. Both are professionals working in Children's television. One of which is the producer of a network locally in Fort Worth, Texas, that produces programming for Children's hospitals nationwide.

We know camera lens malfunctions, we know how to debunk lens flare, dust, exposure issues, et al. We went outside to take photographs of the super moon. We missed the largest expression of the moon but hurried out to capture what we could.

Standing in the parking lot facing east, I began taking photos. I noticed an anomaly in the photos which seemed to be a smaller sphere to the lower right of the bright moon. I looked with my physical eyes at the moon and saw something darker than the moon and sky in the same area.

I took more photos and each one contained the sphere. It looked very solid. I decided to clean the lens and take the case off the phone and use an additional lens that hooks on the back of the iPhone 6 Plus.

I saw the object even clearer at this point. I zoomed in without losing resolution and took a few more. I examined those with my partner and he was very intrigued and we zoomed in and were awe struck.

It was a sphere but it was a moon. It looked exactly like our moon only smaller. In the photos, there is a visible lens flare/glare that is bouncing off of the overhead lot lights.

This sphere/additional moon was not a lens anomaly. To further debunk the oddity, we walked to the park in the middle of our condos. We saw the bright big moon through the tree tops.

I took out the camera and began shooting more pictures. We figured if it was a lens or camera issue, it would project this second moon overlapping the tree branches, thus copying the image of the actual moon. Much to our surprise, this secondary moon was shadowed by the branches in the actual placement of where it corresponds and the actual moon/supermoon was not shrouded by branches in real visual observation nor in the photograph.

This blew our minds.! We took several photos and then went inside to grab the very ! large te lephoto lens for the SLR camera and came back out. We took more photos from the original device, my partners device, and the SLR and there was no second moon present in these photos.

So this phenomenon was present for roughly 5-7 minutes then gone.

Bright red object in early night sky. Turned to purple moved horizontally and quickly vanished. Event location: Euless Texas (just southwest of DFW Airport) Weather: Scattered high clouds but clear in the area of the observation Light: No external house lights on.

Early evening just after sunset (dark) Observation: Looked to northern sky and saw a white object approaching. At first I thought it was an aircraft but then it stopped moving and held a fixed position. Seconds later, the object turned to a brilliant red light (no aircraft navigation lights or beacon).

Physical location of object from my position: It was 12 degrees (slightly east of north). The object was approximately at a 30-45-degree angle upward from my observation area. The object was west of the DFW airport and not in any known traffic pattern for DFW aircraft (west of approach/departure for runway 18L and 18R) DFW ATC: Arrivals from north and departures to south Observation: After approximately 30-45 seconds in a stationary position, the object changed color from brilliant red to purple (looked like a LED light).

Size of observed sighting: The object was smaller than the moon yet larger than a bright star. I compare the size to slightly smaller than my smallest fingernail. Observation: Shortly after the object changed color to purple (approximately 5 seconds), it moved horizontally to the east toward DFW.

The object did not move far (approximately 12 degrees to 20 degrees) and did not get close to DFW air traffic. Once again it stopped but was somewhat obscured from my view due to trees. Observation: The object stayed in the obscured location for a very short time (maybe 3 seconds) and then appeared to move upward and north at a fast pace until it was out of sight.

Notifications: Contacted a former college who works with DFW ATC. Contacted local media KTVT at 7:10PM. Reported event to UFO Center via telephone.

FYI- media asked for a photo or video (no time to think fast enough to get a camera). Media stated they could not report on the event without any physical evidence. Total event time: 6:40PM for approximate 1.

5 to 2 minutes (was hard to tell how long exactly). My background: 40 years aviation (Operational Control, Emergency Response, Internal Evaluation, Airport Management). Private pilot and aviation safety consultant.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Yes, I did report it to the media (KTVT TV CBS affiliate DFW) but they said it would not be shared on the news without a photo or video. I told them that I just wanted the sighting on record in the event others call them with a similar observation. I failed to mention the distance away in my report.

Because of the darkness, it was very difficult to estimate the distance and accurately state the size of the object. Thanks for the good work your team is doing. Maybe someday we will learn more about unexplainable sightings such as this.

I can assure you this is an event I will not forget. ((END ADDENDUM)) ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be a highly qualified, and credible, witness. PD)).

Driving home from the store, I looked up at the sky I notice what seem to be five asteroids or fiery balls of fire line up. When it got midway in the sky they separated, my son was with me at the time as we got closer it seem what appear to us that it might be bombs coming to us. The colors were orange, green, red it was just unreal.

As they got closer down to earth they stop and we notice five unidentify white flying objects. We were unable to capture the whole phenomenon, however we do have a video, along with pics of what we were able to get.

Formation of 6 or 7 fireballs hovering in the sky above Sugarland, TX Heading south on highway 518 in Friendswood, we noticed a strange formation in the skies above Sugarland, or south west of us. There were 6 or 7 hovering fireballs, moving slowly with tails. Then they started to separate and disappear.

The last one standing appeared to have a red light hovering by it, maybe an airplane or chopper. The objects were large and bright. In all, the event looked to be a very large scale slow mo version of firework.

I have never seen anything like it, nor can explain what it was.
