strange zooming light over Fort Worth. December 13, 2009 at around 2245 -2300 hrs, I was walking out to my truck and as I was coming out of the walk way onto the parking lot that is on the East side of the apartment building, I was looking up at the night sky seeing that it was clear and breezy and noticed that, Orion something else that looked like it, was southwest at about 45 degrees from where I was standing. While looking up at it – something caught my eye, at first looked like an airplane and I would have regarded it as one if it had not been traveling at the speed it was.
My next guess would have been a satellite since they sometimes do move pretty quickly across the night sky, but what caught my eye was that it zoom for a good distance it seemed to have slowed down and zoomed again. I followed this tiny light and noticed it kind of curved towards the western direction and it came to a hover this time there seemed to be more lights that I had not noticed earlier – it almost looked like a ! string of lights or set of lights. it hovered and then started descending and moving back towards the East…ran inside to get my binoculars and see if I could take a better look, but when I got back with them – this thing was gone, I waited for a while as to see if I could see it again , but with no luck.
If anyone else has any information or saw the same thing, post something on here as to share information and compare notes.

Boomerang shaped craft glides across the sky early in the morning At approximately 4:15-4:30AM I was in my front yard, leaning against my car parked in the driveway smoking a cigarette. The sky was very clear that night and there were hardly any clouds out, making the stars and neighboring planets exceptionally visible. As I gazed up at the stars, a boomerang shaped object glided at a moderate speed across my field of vision.
Its altitude was much lower than that of a commercial airliner and was closer to the height a helicopter would be flying at. It was a very quiet night and yet when the object flew by, there wasn’t even the smallest audible sound. The object did not have lights and was rather dark but I followed it with my eyes until I couldn’t see it anymore.
I was so convinced that what I saw was a UFO, I quickly ran inside and woke up my parents to tell them of my encounter. It was amazing.

Black round silent object moving slowly to northwest from southwest., no lights, no jet trail, no sound. This evening at approximately 7:32PM, Sept.
9, ’09, I was out walking and looked up slightly to the north, and saw a small black object. At first, I thought it was a large bird, but there was no wing movement. No sound, no jet trail, no lights, very black.
It stayed on a steady course from the southwest to the northwest. moving very slowly. I saw a similar object last July 3, 2008, but the sky was slightly darker, and the object was lower.
It moved very slowly, as I was able to watch it for at least ten minutes, both times. This year, there were clouds, and they appeared high and thin. The object was black and showed up against the sky and clouds as did the object last year.
I did file a report with the National UFO Reporting Center last year as well. The object last year, appeared to have some indentation at the top and was very black. This time it looked more round, but the movement was exactly the same.
There is an air base (joint command) off a! bout three miles from where I live in Fort Worth, TX. in the direction the object was moving. Last year, when I described what I had seen with a coworker he had seen the same object.
He lives close to where I live. He described the object exactly as I did, moving from the southwest to the northwest. Interestingly, he said one of his neighbors had their cell phone and it began to make noises and light up as the object passed.
I think possibly it might be a government experiment, but it was very strange. No triangular shape. Just a rounder shape.
I did take a photo of the object with my cell phone, but I am not sure I captured it as it was high. I would be glad to foreward the photo to be analyzed. It would appear as just a black spot, small.

Does anyone know what is in the western sky from Fort Worth tonight. I saw 2 and one is still high in the western sky. It looks like 4 lights together that constantly move back and forth.
The other one we saw was visible to the north of the one there now and then disappeared. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).
