Arlington, Texas UFO Sightings in 2002

Full Report Text:

chevron formation of dim lights of what seemed like either huge airplane or formation of some kind. I walked outside. looked up and saw what seemed like would be Stealth Bomber type airplane.

but the lights were very dim. and the plane looked like it would have been huge. There were about 10 lights or so in what seemed like symmetrical pattern .

It was flying very slow. and no noise was heard. After I lost it over the apartment roof.

I ran to watch it some more. by the time I made it to other side of apartment building. it had disappeared.

6 white orbs going south to north in daylight sighting at high altitude. I and my best friend were at a water park in arlington Texas called Hurricane Harbor sitting in an upper c9overed deck looking out over the park. I was siting with the sun just barely occluded by the beam at the edge of the roof.

I was looking at the water vapor rising up into the atmosphere ovewr the park. It was a clear sunny day aside from a lot of glare and haze. I had some fairly dark shades on (sunglasses) as did Charles.

I was looking at the spot where the suns corona was flaring out from behind the beam and saw a white spot fly at a very rapid speed from south to north in a straight line it appeared to be at a higher elevation than all the jetliners in view and moved many times faster in apparent speed. I was sort of stunned but wasnt sure if i really saw what i saw, then a moment later another object on a similar trajectory moved from the apparent position of the sun across the sky from south to north. At this point my friend asked what was going on and i told him to sit in the same position with the sun occluded and tell me what if anything he sees.

sure enough over the next few minutes we saw another four objects like the first two one of which was on a curved trajectory angling from south to a north west direction. The apparent size visually was the size of a BB held at arms length with a well defined shape the color appeared white. i want to point out that if we took off out shades the glare in the sky was such that it would have been impossible to see anything at all.

((NUFORC Note: Witness does not specify the time of day of the sighting. We will attempt to obtain that information. Please see other report for similar sighting over Texas on same date.

PD)) ((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION FROM WITNESS)) this is an addendum to my previous report entered on6/4/02 i neglected to include the time as you noted at the bottom of the report when posted. again the time was about 1600 hrs probably a bit later than earlier. ((END)).

Silver-White stationairy ball that gradually got smaller in size, and dissppeared. Silver-White Ball. Spherical.

Like a giant siver balloon, reflecting silver-white light reflex. I happened to look up into the south east sky at a passenger jet that had just taken off from DFW airport, that was traveling south west and that was turning further west. As I was watching the jet, the bright silver light caught my attention because of it's proximity to the jet.

I thought it was a small plane and that the jet might crash into it. As I watched, the jet passed in front of it, occluding it just like one object passing in front of another one. My attention was focused entirely on the silver-white ball object that the jet passed in front of (from my perspective) at that point.

Over the next two minutes, as I watched, the silver-white ball got smaller and smaller, as if it was receding in distance away from me, and it got dimmer and dimmer, and started to turn a soft shade of blue white, the same way the moon appears when seen in the sky during full daylight. It gradually got smaller and then dissapperared entirely, never changing altitude or azimuth in its relative position to my position on the ground, and then just dissappeard when it got too dim to see any longer. This was in the afternoon in full daylight, the sun was about fifteen to twenty degrees above the horizon in the opposite part of the sky.

No clouds. Air traffic from DFW was clearly visible for approximately fifteen miles in all directions. ((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION WITH WITNESS)) Peter, I also sent you another report on almost the same phenomena, but observed on a different date.

And that time I was ready for it with a pair of binoculars. The first sighting was on february 16, 2002 at 5:50 to 5:52 pm. The second one was on July 23, 2002 at about the same place in the sky at 6:10 to 6:14 pm.

I am an amateur astonomer and I own an 8in Celstron. I am accustomed to seeing space craft in orbit (ISS, SS, etc.) and even have seen the atmospheric abberation shock wave of a re-entering vehicle.

All of those things follow the physical laws of orbital mechanics. These lights that I saw, did not. Even if they were naked eye, and even if one was pretty shakey through a pair of 10 X 50 binonculars, they must fit into the category of unexplained and unidentified, at this point.

I really thought that they were genuine weather balloons with a radiosone attached, and that still could be the explaination, but at this point, I am confounded. So I figured it would be appropriate to put it into the database. ((END)).

Sllver-White stationairy light viewed through 10 x 50 hand held binoculars Bright silver-white light was noticed in sky at an altitude of 45 degrees and azimuth of south south-east, relative to my position. Object was stationairy and appeared to be a bright pinpoint of non-flickering white light, like a street lamp or airplane landing light in the shape of a weather balloon. Looked like big white weather balloon.

Sky was blue but slightly hazy, with a few high clouds. Object did not change position in sky, and I was able to observe it through 10 x 50 binoculars. Object looked like grayish-white sphere with black edge along bottom side.

Object also appeared to be glowing from within and reflecting sunlight at the same time. Binoculars were hand held, and slight wind made still observation difficult. Object seemed to glow brighter as I observed in binoculars, and when I attempted to view the object without the binoculars, I lost it and could not find it again.

The time was now about four minutes later. ((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION WITH WITNESS)) Peter, I also sent you another report on almost the same phenomena, but observed on a different date. And that time I was ready for it with a pair of binoculars.
