Full Report Text:
What looked like a star moved to the right very slowly and then got dimmer and slowy vanished. I decided to go jogging at a local High school track on 11/01/09 at about 6:30PM. I jogged and walked the track until about 7:45 PM.
I decided to lay down and stretch before going home. It was a cool and clear night and cool night with a bright full moon. I laid down on my back to stretch and was looking up at the sky noticing how clear and pretty it was.
I noticed 3 stars in a triangle pattern that stood out from the rest, nothing seemed unusual about that. But as I was just gazing up at them I noticed 1 of the stars or what appeared to be a star start moving to the right. It started moving very slowly, so slow in fact I thought my eye’s were not focusing well or it was just me.
But I then noticed the bright star to the right of the object (a planet more than likely because it was so bright) was staying stationary. NO other stars were moving. The object moved very slowly, I then started looking for blinking lights thinking maybe it was a plane coming in at an angle and then turning or something.
But as it moved very slowly to the right it slowly started to fade out. And it then disappeared. I viewed it for at least 45 seconds.
I thought of everything it could be because I am a skeptic. At first I thought maybe it was the space station, but I ruled that out because I have seen the space station before and you can see it from start to finish and it moves much faster than this object was moving. We have a Navy base that trains pilots in single engine prop planes and I seen three right after this sighting and they all had blinking lights and even at the slow speed they travel they still traveled faster than this object.
I ruled out everything, even space junk. Because when I started looking up all 3 stars were not moving. Then one of them started to move very slowly to the right and flickered as it faded out.
It just vanished in the night sky. I heard no noise, because when it flickered out I thought it might be an after burner on a jet. I have not other explanation other than it was a UFO.
Note: I live in the city where the lights are bright and you can’t see most of the stars. But this object was as bright as the Planet to the right of it. If someone was not paying attention they would have not noticed this object moving because it was moving so slow.
Full Report Text:
Three circular outlines made of red lights; two drifted away in different directions, one lingered and then left. Background: There were seven of us at my house meeting up before we went to a Halloween party. We took pictures inside, gathered our belongings, and stepped outside to enter our cars.
The second we stepped out onto the porch we saw lights hovering. I tried asking a news station if anyone else had seen what we did, yet I never got a response. What we saw: There were three distinct oval shapes made of circular red lights in the sky in front of us; they were already there when we walked out.
Two of them drifted away, in opposite directions, out of sight within thirty seconds. The last one lingered for what seemed like forty five extra seconds, and then SLOWLY drifted away out of sight. We were amazed and in awe.
Background of observers: We're all students here in Corpus aged 20-22. I said there were seven of us present but I can't remember any reaction from one of our friends, which is why I stated only six of us saw. No photos: The thought came up but I had mentioned that my camera wouldn't get lights from that far away (Since it wouldnt have) and instead we just wacthed until they left.

Full Report Text:
A single extremely luminescent light jolted continuously and changed shape for hours Now, I often stare at the stars at night and in the morning but on this particular morning around two twenty I noticed a really bright “star” next to a quite dim star and I start to watch, just enjoying the view and at first I think it’s just me leaning and throwing off my vision but I’m stable on the ground and this “star” moves. Not for a long distance but a short and quick little jolt. This intrigues me, so I keep watching.
Again a quick jolt but now its changed form, almost like an arrowhead. Now that shape shift could have just been my eyes going fuzzy for a second but as 15 minutes pass by, still staring at this arrangement of light, I am convinced this is not just a star for stars do not fade in and out for more than a second to two seconds at a time nor do they jolt in the form of triangles either. I asked my father to come out and witness this as well just to tell me if it was just me and that my eyes were just going fuzzy from the staring but even he himself was baffled at this sight we both were surveying; deciding this was definitely something that was out of the ordinary.
(3:54 AM) Now as I write this it is still outside and doing its thing up by that same dim light I’ve kept track of. I am just a regular woman with no astronomical background for credibility to what I am saying in this letter but I know I’ve witnessed something that needs to be documented and seriously looked into for the sheer awareness that something else is out there and potentially observing us as well. ((NUFORC Note: Star?? PD)).
