Just a fairly quick fly by from some craft Ive never seen before. I was at a friends house over night just hanging out and we stayed up all night. My friend was playing a video game and I stepped out side in the back yard to catch the breeze.
He has a picnic table so I lied down and looked up for a few minutes, saw a shooting star and kept looking up. At 3:23 a.m.
I noticed 5 dim non blinking yellow lights in a pattern moving over the top of a tree headed due south toward downtown. They were arranged in a V pattern and I could see the black out line of the craft barely against the black sky. It made no noise, just cruised almost directly over me for about 20 seconds, then I lost sight of it when it flew behind a tree and into the light coming from the downtown area.
Dyess AFB is just a few miles away and I stay up every night so I know this was no airplane, we see those all the time. It made no noise and traveled about as fast as the little planes at Abilene Regional Airport, just casually cruising by. Thats about it.

This happens to me all my life. I went outside at round 9 pm and while looking at the moon that was in the west i notice a bright light close to the direction i was looking,it was moving slowly to the north west and changed color from a sun like light to a reddish pink then it just slow got dimmer and was gone. I notice a small air plane was coming in that same direction when the UFO left.
After the plane that look as if it was circling. As soon as the plane went out of view the the next UFO was in the same spot as the first one and it was a little closer this time, i could see that it was square with brite lights coming from it and in side the light i could see black columns like pillars on a old Rome building. I t was floating slow in same direction as the first one and did the same thing as far as color and speed then just like the first one is just faded into nothing and mabe 10 secs after was that plane that was there a min ago, single propeller look dark grey or grayish green.
As it flu passed and out of site a third UFO in the same spot as the other two came it did the same things as the first two all this took about 20 Min's.

Pictures were taken on cell phone. My son, ((namd deleted)), came to my home in Buffalo Gap, Texas at apprx. 23:00 tonight 4-7-2009 and asked “if there have been any TV reports of a meteor or anything else crashing in our area.
” I had not heard of anything because I was not watching live TV. We were watching a recording of an earlier program we like to watch. We had been out on a local lake with my son (the one who saw this object) earlier in the evening .
Our favorite program came on and I recorded it while we were still out on the lake. My husband and I came on home and left our son at the lake so he could catfish after dark. When we got home we turned on the recording and were watching it from 22:00 to around 22:58.
The signal was interrupted several times as we watched the recording. This is not a common occurrence at all on recordings from our HD TV. We just kind of wondered why the signal was messed up and let it go at that.
When my son came in around 23:00, he mentioned that he had seen something really “strange” streak across the sky as he sat out on the lake in our boat. He said “It was HUGE”…. And that jets from the Air Base (Dyess) had gone up shortly after the object appeared, streaking across the sky towards Buffalo Gap, where we live.
He said the object looked a lot like a meteor streak but was “huge” . He went on to say that the jets from Dyess were circling the area around and between Buffalo Gap and Tuscola (to our southwest approx. 5 miles).
We have no idea what he might have seen , but thought we should say something to someone. Surely, many others must have seen this event as well. We thought you might want to check into it and see what it might have been.
Incidentally, my son is 31 years old and not a goofball. He called me after he left my house to go to his apartment (he doesn’t live with us and had come to bring our boat we had left with him) and said that there was several aircraft in the sky still circling our area. It was approx 23:45 at that point.
It is not unusual to see aerial ac! tivity w ith the Dyess Air Force Base right in between Buffalo Gap and Abilene…however, it is odd to see a cluster of activity around an unknown event as my son saw. He does not have Internet and I sent this . I am sure he has lots more details he could relate first hand.
Thank you ((name deleted)).

Was lights in the sky over Abilene We were driving East leaving Abilene and saw a bright stationary light that did not appear to be moving. We thought it might be a helicopter or tower of some sort, but as we got closer the bright light became 3 lights, then one blinking light. As we drove past, there were no lights on the back side of whatever it was.
Then the light was back, then gone again. A few minutes later the passenger of the car saw what appeared to be a bright meteor streak across the sky, but then as the glow “burned out” the object moved 90 degrees from its previous path and disappeared.
