Austin, Texas UFO Sightings in 2003

Gliding silver object there one second, gone the next On 12/19/03, at 11:00 a.m. in Austin, Tx.

I was taking my daily walk. It was a clear, beautiful, sunny day. I felt compelled to look behind me; there was no one on the trail, but I looked up because my eye was caught by what I thought was a plane, but it didn't have the body of a plane.

It was at about 20 to 25,000 ft altitude. The sun shone on it and there was a silver, metallic flash on the body. I watched it gliding and in seconds it vanished into thin air, completely evaporated.

The sighting was of too short duration to determine the shape of the object. I knew I had seen an unidentified object. I continued walking.

I subsequently counted 20 airplanes at approximately 30 to 35,000 ft altitude going towards or leaving Austin Airport. Each one of them left contrails. The object I saw had no contrails.

After counting the 10th plane, I saw, going in the opposite direction in a haphazard way, a tiny ball. It was illuminated by the sun and completely disappeared.

2 blue-lit conicle objects rotate around each other and then "morph" into 1 object and disappear. While I was out at my car on break from night shift I happened to look at the incredible stars. As I looked up I saw 2 objects that looked like conicle, blue-lit, smooth objects.

The objects rotated around each other several times. I called over to several co-workers that were nearby. They also looked up and saw the objects.

As we all stood there the objects seemed to "morph" into a single object. About 10 seconds later they disappeared completely from sight. None of the 4 of us could even fathom what the objects/object might have been.

They were all the same magnitude brightness and not one object. While travelling west on Davis Lane before turning north on Brodie Lane in southeast Austin,Tx, I noticed a very bright starlike light to my south-southwest. It appeared to be moving toward me at a reasonable rate of speed, comparable to a jet.

It did not have any flashing wing lights or any color lights other than just being a bright white light. I really thought it was just a jet coming towards me on some sort of route to the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. We are in that flight path for some approaches.

I was amazed at how big and bright it was. It was not high in the sky but over the horizon by about 2 to 3 degrees. I lost sight of it.

I then turned north on Brodie Lane, headed to work. As I topped the little hill before entering the valley to my work, I noticed 5 bright white lights over what appeared to be downtown Austin. I could see the capitol building and the lights were above and to the left, making it generally to the north of my position.

Three lights were in a triangular pattern with the legs being about the width of 4 fingers held at arms length. If you look at an equilateral triangle, the other 2 lights were in line with the bottom of the triangle and to the right (east) about a finger's width, held at arms length. All the lights did not appear to be moving.

The 2 lights to the left were all in line with the bottom of the triangle. I lost sight of them as I continued north. They were rather bright and all of about the same magnitude.

I called the airport police when I got to work and they said they had not had any other reports, at least tonight. They said they have been getting several reports all month. They said they would pass it along to the FAA.

They told me to contact your group. Anyway, as I lost sight of the lights, I did notice a jet generally travelling from the south towards the lights. I could not say if it was a military or commercial jet.

An oval, saucer-shaped object moving slowly with brilliante colors of light flashing. On Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2003 at 4:15pm cst in Austin, Texas, from my backyard, I saw a flash of light that caught my eye.

I looked up at the cloudless sky and saw an object moving slowing in a semicircle. At first it appeared as a star-like point of light. Then it displayed flashes of brilliante colors of light from red, blue, green, yellow and white.

I quickly ran into my house to get the binoculars. When I returned outside I was delighted to see that it was still there. Between a few of the colorful flashes I could see the object better.

It looked more oval than round but it was saucer-like being overall orange and some black in color. I viewed it for several, good, long minutes then it vanished.

Teardrop/triangle silver and shiny object moving at slow steady speed in perfect weather during broad daylight in Austin, TX. A friend and myself were driving to lunch around 1:00 pm in northwest Austin, TX. As soon as we made a righthand turn onto the frontage road along 183 N.

, I noticed what appeared to be a teardrop or possibly a triangular silver object that was reflecting sunlight approximately 3000 to 5000 feet (it could have been as low as 1000 feet) above the surface looking to the south/southwest. My buddy noticed it as well to confirm that I was not seeing a reflection in his side door window. The sky was perfectly clear, so we were not mistaking a cloud formation, nor were we mistaking this for man made utility infrastruture because it was well above these in the sky.

We were about 1000 yards from the intersection and my buddy decided to make a u-turn to get on the other side of the expressway to get a better look. As we were heading towards the u-turn, the object appeared to be heading at a slower speed than usual for any type of aircraft that I know is possible barring a helicopter. It was moving steady from south/southeast to north/northwest.

At times, it appeared to be actually hovering. It also appeared to be vectoring in about a 30 degree slow and steady ascent. There appeared to be no wing or tail structure of any kind that I could detect.

The skin was smooth with no identifying features (windows, ports, markings, etc). No propulsion of either propeller or jet type was visible. There was no sign of a contrail or any kind of exhaust or distortion in the sky from the leading or trailing edges of the object.

Since we were in the car at the time of indentification, we could not determine if any sound was coming from the craft. I am former military in communications/intelligence with top secret, so I DO know my aircraft recognition. By the time my buddy made his u-turn and we got to the other side of the expressway on the opposite frontage road, the object was nowhere to be seen in either direction of it's vector for next 3 to 5 minutes after making the u-turn.

It appeared to had just vanished without a trace. There were other aircraft (commercial and private) in the nearby vicinity, but these were clearly recognizable as man made aircraft; and did not appear to be evading the object. This is very interesting, because this sighting is very similar to the sighting in Houston on 10/07/2003.

If I had to guess if this craft was noiseless, then I would say that it was. A very interesting day for us indeed.

Slow-moving high-altitude object seen in Austin, Texas the evening of October 18th. We noticed an object north of our location moving slowly to the west at very high altitude. We used binoculars mounted on a tripod and noticed some smaller objects surrounding it.

The object appeared to be a large, white stucture, and our initial thoughts were that it was a weather balloon. However, the object very clearly split into two distinct objects that slowly diverged to the north and south. (These could not have been planets or stars, as they quickly faded during the sunset.

) We noticed a Southwest airline 737 flying due west underneath the object at around 7:00 pm, but it's unlikely the crew spotted the object as it was very, very high above. We're very familiar with Venus, Mars, and the usual satellites, and this didn't resemble any of those at all. Has anyone else seen this? (Photos being developed.

).

green fireball I was on my way to work and glanced up to see a greenish fireball streaking towards the southeast. It left a short trail that was more white than green. Duration was maybe two or three seconds.

I looked at my watch, which read 4:30 (am) sharp.
