Silent bizarre a/c flys close to ground repeatedly with bright nose light As driving home from work on hwy 20 going west right pass loop 12 is my left distance I see a bright orange light pretty large and i see and work with aircrafts daily for work and that is no a/c it’s to close to the guard and the nose headlight is way to bright! But light gets bigger as it moves towards hwy 20. But as it flew over me I had sun roof open and no a/c commercial at that could fly that close to the Ground unless it was landing and I’m sorry there is no runway big enough nor long enough to accommodate that size of ac that was that close!! But evidently doesn’t land but weird thing is for that ac to be that close it made no sound! And bizarre a/c kept circling or idk if it was multiple but they kept going round it was strange , Erie , kinda ominous on why , and what’s the meaning.

Wide Spaced Procession of Lights I was with wife outside home in yard with dog on potty break. I as very familiar with aircraft, especially in DFW air space. Before seeing UFO’s, I noted DFW air traffic was heavy and being conducted in a southern flow.
While watching sky waiting for our dog to finish, we noticed a UFO coming out of the east then turning north towards DFW. The UFO was a bright reddish orange light, moving at the speed and approximate altitude of DFW air traffic, but curiously in the opposite direction as the south and outbound DFW traffic. The UFO light was steady on, and color was not at all like typical aircraft aircraft (reddish orange instead of white, red, and green).
The light color did not change when the UFO changed direction to the north, which was odd because it was moving north and I should have seen a red light on that side which would have been typical of routine aircraft moving in that direction. This was very odd since it would have posed collision risk! s, unless they were much much higher in altitude. I lost sight of it when it went behind neighborhood trees.
Once it was gone, I noticed a second light that appeared the same, and behaved just like the first. It was repeated like this at least 5-6 more times by UFO’s that appeared and behaved exactly the same, albeit completely different from typical aircraft and traffic flow. The events ended around 21:05 - I saw no more afterwards even though I remained watching till 21:30.

Ufo sighting Grand Prairie, Tx. 10:30pm 9/21/13 At about 10:30 this evening I saw somewhere in the range of 7 or 8 dull orange lights flying slowly in a broken formation. At first they were distinct oval shapes then diminished down to what looked like car headlights in the distance however, they were in the sky.
I know aircraft. These were not afterburners, flares or swamp gas. I got them on video but it is about the quality you would expect, no good.
A couple of flickers, thats it. They cruised at about the speed of a group of slow flying helicopters but there was no noise. They flew along for about a minute then began to dissappear one by one.
That was the last I saw of them. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Boomerang shaped - large slow -beige-no lights or sound- north east to south west 6am 9/21/2013 I was on my back porch at 6am with my dog, the moon was full and very bright and the stars where still visible with not a single cloud sky. As I looked to the east and above me I saw an odd large slow moving boomerang shaped light beige colored object, almost as if it reflected off the moon. It was a great distance away moving from north east to south west.
It had not lights or sound and was gliding or floating across the sky. It was too large to be a bird and it had no wing movement. I question if it was a drone or weather balloon.
It moved out of my site over the rooftop and trees. Has anyone else seen this object in the sky.

Something streaked across the sky and opened up into an eye shape made of lava? I was taking my dog outside to do her business in the middle of the night- around 2 to 3 am. I was looking up at the sky while she sniffed around. Something streaked across the sky that I initially thought to be a shooting star.
But, as it moved, very fast, it started arcing up and it appeared to open up into an eye like shape- pointed on the ends and rounded in the middle. And it looked insanely hot, like oranges and yellow glowing hot and swirling together like magma. The "eye" shape was visible for only a couple of seconds but too long and too large for it to be a shooting star.
I've spent years trying to make sense of what I saw. The location of the sighting is near a Lockheed Martin facility, so I thought maybe some kind of experimental aircraft, but I've never seen anything else like it. My dog did not seem to noice anything as she never barked or even looked up.
I didn't feel afraid. I felt curious and in awe. I was in my mid 20s at the time, security officer, not a drug or alcohol user, aside from cigarettes, and I was wide awake and alert as I worked at night at the time.

Craft rises from other side of the dam, "charges up" and takes off at an extremely fast acceleration speed into space. Me and my friend had decided to do some night fishing, we were sitting at the overflow pond by the joe pool lake dam. It was a clear night with plenty of moonlight to be able to see around us, there was a decent wind blowing the 3-4 ft grass around us in every direction back and forth with the different gusts.
1:05 comes around and something silently rises up on the other side of the dam( I can only assume it came from the lake, but with it being nighttime it can be hard to accurately judge distance or size of something in the sky) The next part there is a series of things that happens in a short time so i will do my best to describe it in an understandable way Suddenly a sound comes out (best way i could type it would be something like) "vvvvooo" and all the grass blows in one direction starting from the top of the dam, like a wave it started coming down the hill to us. (We both could feel a "wave" of what i could only describe as strong electromagnetism as it blew past us.) At the same time the "sound" happened a small line of light (parallel to the dam from my view) appeared from the rear of the craft.
Then it did the "vvvooo sound" again, once again accompanied by the grass blowing in one direction (even though it is still windy blowing multiple directions along the dam) down to us where we again feel a wave of "electromagnetism". At the same time what was a "line" of light now turns to the shape of an "eye" could almost compare it to the SHAPE of saurons in the lord of the rings movies. Just no pupil or iris like you would find in an eye, it had almost a "color pallete" of colors within it.
(I am a bit color blind but to me i mainly could see blues yellow reds and purple) It did the vvvooo sound again, blows the grass, we feel it, but the "eye" shape now turns into a full circle of light in the sky behind the craft. Shimmering with the different colors inside of it. It held this for what seemed like a few seconds, (could easily have been less just based on how the brain works in these strange situations) It did the sound one more time and the circle collapsed and the craft took off into space at what id say is an impossible acceleration speed leaving a "blue trail" similar in look to how the sun reflects on a lake, (the dots on the crest of the small waves) all the while there was no sonic boom or any other sound besides the "vvvooo" The whole experience lasted maybe 30 seconds, it was so bright i dont know how noone else saw it or caught it on a camera somewhere.
I was in a state of disbelief watching it happen or i might have thought to use my phone to video it. I spent a long time combing google hoping someone else caught it on video, i wasnt planning on writing a report but from everything else ive read or seen people report i havent come across another story like what my friend and I experienced. So i figured ill at least put it out there in case someone else had a similar experience.
I am an epileptic, ive had a number of things slip through my memory about the incident. Namely the exact date(year day) I know it was at 1 to 1:08 am, was in the first few days of may (want to say the 5th) and the year range could only have been 2010 to 2013( i want to say 2011) if anyone can find a video of it id love to see it! Im not going to click the box for "id like to be contacted by an investigator" but if someone would like to talk about it id be more than happy too .

Three white lights appeared in the sky, made a J pattern, and then disappeared. Three bright white lights appeared in the sky. They were in a row.
They "flashed" into sight and then dimmed slightly. The lights swooped down at a 45 degree angle and then started to swoop back up. Then the lights disappeared from sight.
The event was about 3 seconds in length. The general direction was from South to North. The pattern of lights made a path that resembled the letter "J".
There were no streaks or trails behind the lights. There was no sound. A "craft" or object could not be seen.
Only the lights. I have lived in this area for over 20 years, and have seen hundreds of airplanes each day and night. I have never witnessed an airplane moving in such a manner.

Orbs seen very high just stationary I have been taken pictures of planes in the sky in the area to test out my new powerful lens on my camera. I have noticed a few black dots in some photos I have taken that seem to be following the craft. [Photo emailed] I don’t see them with my eyes but seem to notice them only on the pictures.
They are so small. I thought ok I’m sure they are dust particles on the lens. Strange I only see these particles so far under planes.
Today marked a new strange phenomenon. I was watching a high flying plane passing by and thought to take some pictures to test the limits of my lens. To my puzzlement I noticed in the pictures [photos emailed] a few bright orbs that seem to stay stationary as the plane fly’s right next to them then makes a sharp turn to the right.
There was one dark orb that seemed to be lower (closer to ground) then the other orbs that where white. Picture after picture they just stayed stationary as the plane passed by. I thought maybe I’m looking at stars but it was day time and sunset was not until another 3 hours.
I’m not sure what I saw. I took other pictures of clouds around the same time. I looked for possible other orbs thinking that they might be stars but could not find any.
I’m not sure what I saw but will now keep an eye out for more activity.

Orb came out of no where seem to some straight at men and then veered up and went straight moving at a tremendous speed and disappeared Today’s date is April 20, 2009 and I was taking out my trash dragging my garbage can to the curb between 6:15/6;30 this morning, when all of a sudden there’s this flash of light and I turn and there was this big ball of light an orb coming straight at me moving so fast I could only stand there amazed at what I was seeing. It wasn’t something from this planet and somebody or something was in control of it. It was like it came out of now where, but I wasn’t afraid and I don’t know why I wasn’t afraid I just wasn’t.
The light was very calming not blinding at all When it got close to me before hitting the ground it veered up what seem like just above the trees and I watched it as it disappeared into the distance. It was never close enough to hit the ground but it was what seemed to me clearly just above the tree in my front yard and went straight above the houses in where the my street turns and disappeared into the distance This thing was like someone was guiding it… there was no heat or anything coming from it and the light was not blinding and I do feel it was close enough to me for me to have felt some type of heat but here was none , nothing just light and speed.

black box high in the NE sky 11:50 DFW area I did not know what to think of it at the time but after reading the reports from Stephenville TX I felt compelled to write. I have been in the aircraft business for over 25 years, first in the Marine Corps then in the civil world. I am a pilot and I have been around all kinds of aircraft and helicopters.
I live just south of a major airport ( DFW ) and I know what modern aircraft look like and I know all the flight patterns for the approach for DFW and the smaller airports in the area. Sunday aprox 11:50 am My daughter 15, her friend 15 and myself where driving North bound on Robinson rd ( cross street polo dr ) when I noticed something that looked like a big black box high in the sky, aprox N>E> over Dallas. This object was really high in the sky, above the approach that airliners take to DFW or Love field.
At first I thought it must be the blimp ready for the Dallas game that day. Upon further inspection while we sat at a red light in my truck it defiantly was a big Black Box shaped thing? I couldn’t make out much detail but it seemed to have what I would call notches like a cube on it. At this time the light turned green and we drove due north, at this time my daughter saw a jetliner on approach to DFW and it was way below the alt of this thing.
When we stopped again at the intersection of Robison rd and Westchester it was still there and the plane had traveled quite away and was disappearing from sight. AS we sat at the red light watching this thing it just disappeared?.

Two objects seen in the night sky above Dallas on each side of a three star configuration with pulsating lights. I let our dog out around 10:25 last night and thought I would look around in the sky as the night was crystal clear and the stars were bright. Grand Prairie is a suburb of Dallas.
There are always planes flying around and I enjoy watching their lights at night. This night was different than any other I had evr witneesed. I looked toward the east-northeast over Dallas and saw a star configuration of three stars perfect aligned, one above the other.
I noticed on either side of the middle star and equidistant on each side of that star, two objects which I could not discern as they were so far up. The objects appeared to pulsate with a red,blue,and white or silver lights which were lined up vertically and in that order. I thought it was odd that they did not move as planes do as I see so many from my neighborhood.
As I stood and watched these objects, I noticed they started moving in what appeared to be a lateral fashion in quick motions. They moved in step with one another. After watching these lights for several minutes, I went a got my wife, my 14 year old son, and my cousin who was visiting us to come see if they could tell me what they saw.
They were all astounded by these lights as well. They witnessed what I did. No one had any explanation.
The three stars aligned vertically were probably part of a constellation but none of us had ever seen pulsating or alternating lights in a constellation before. That what led us to belive that we were witnessing something unusual. At least to us it was.
The objects appeared much larger than the vertical stars. It was just impossible to tell how far up in the sky they were. I hope I have described this to some degree of specificity.
Never in my life have I seen such so this is my attempt at a description of unknown objects. We watched them for approximately an hour and then went back in the house. I tried taking a digital photograph of them but the pictures did not come out as the objects were too far away.
((NUFORC Note: Based on the description, we suspect that celestial bodies would have to be ruled out, before we could conclude that the objects were, in fact, genuine UFO's. However, that is just a guess on our part. PD)).

Bright green light briefly lights sky, no sound I had been told about this phenomenon before by a friend but blew it off as a hoax by him on me. A week later, another friend of mine admitted to seeing the same thing, which got me interested. last night thought, I wittnessed it as well, needless to say I belive them now! Although my account wasn't as vivid as what they had relayed to me, it was just as beliveable.
I was driving just off of highway 360 with a friend, windows down and the targa-roof off. We were doing maybe 45mph heading south-west when to the direct-south we saw an extrodinary green light on the horizon. It had to have been several miles out, but the glow lit up the sky above us like a pale day light.
It seemed to pulse once, and then slightly less again to the west of the first. It was a quite night and we heard no boom or crack as if it was some sort of explosion. We spent the next hour driving south on 360 and around the mansfield/cedar hill area looking for the cause.
None found, and no good excuse either. Theres a power plant out that way, but its natural gas, and it stood peacefully with all of its yellow lights on. This ones unexplained for now, and all four of us have seen it at one time or another.

THE OBJECT WAS CLOSE AND VERY LOW IN THE SKY, THUS MY DISCPRITION IN DEATAIL. FIRST OF ALL, THE OBJECT WAS HUGE IN SIZE. IT WAS A CLEAR NIGHT,100%VISIBILIT.
THE OBJECT WAS HEADING FROM EAST TO WEST.THE FRONT OF THIS CRAFT WAS OVAL OR EGG SHAPED BUT AT A WIDER ANGLE.THE BACK OF THIS OBJECT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO LIGHT UNDER THAT PART OF THE SHIP.
THE SHIP WAS LIT FROM UNDERNEATH,BUT AS THE LIGHT TRAVELED FROM THE FRONT TOWARDS THE BACK THE LIGHT STARTED TO FADE OUT.THE BACK END OF THE CRAFT WAS I GUESS RECTANGULAR IN FORM WITH ANGLE'S HERE AND THERE. THIS CRAFT WAS CLOSE AND NOT THAT FAR OFF THE GROUND.
IT SEEMED TO BE AS BIG AS A FOOTBALL FIELD MAYBE 300 TO 400 FEET IN THE AIR. AND THE THING WAS MOVING AT A VERY SLOW RATE AND IT DID'NT EVEN MAKE A SOUND.THEN TO MY SUPRIZE IT JUST FADED AWAY.
I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND PROBABLY NERVER WILL AGAIN. I JUST REMEMBER THAT DARK SILHOUTTE AS THE THING MOVED EVER SOO SLOW.IT WAS PROBABLY 4 T 5 BLOCKS AWAY AS FAR AS DISTANCE.

If anyone is really listening, or cares, we are NOT ALONE! While driving home one evening from Church, my three sons and I encountered a UFO. The back window of our car had busted out previously, and it was snowing outside, and we all had our coats on with hoods up because it was so cold. I was talking to my older son, and suddenly my middle son yelled out "Mama!" and interrupted me.
I looked in the rearview mirror to see what he wanted that was so important as to interrupt me, and all of my children were looking up through the empty back window, with shock on their faces. I looked up through the front window, and as close to us, as if it were only three stories above, sat a Hugh dark, saucer shaped, solid object. It had no sound what so ever, and hovered or sat in the sky right above us.
I stopped the car, and we all got out. This saucer like object had beautiful flowing lights all around the mid section of it, and was as big as a base ball diamond. We were on Beltline Rd, near the Naval Air Station.
We stood there for a few moment! s, and suddenly the craft shot off in the direction of Arlington from us to the right. It went so fast, and made no sound, that I have never seen even a jet move so fast. I called the police station when we got home to report it, and the officer said they had no reports of any sightings, and that I could call the Naval Air Station and inquire.
I called the Navy Base, and the person on the phone assured me that they had no reports of any thing like we had witnessed. It has been many years sense that day, but none of us have ever forgotten it, and it burns in my memory as if it were today. I was NOT a believer in such things before this day, but am now! I saw what I saw, and no one can ever take that from me.
We didn't talk about it to too many people because back then, no one would have listened, even the police officer laughed at me. I have been in the US Navy myself and know the Need to Know is keep from the public from our government. If anyone is really listening, or cares, we are NOT ALONE! ((NUFORC Note: Date is estimated by us.
It is unknown. PD)).

UFO cloud/Hollowgram seen over Dallas Texas in the 1980's It was around the middle of summer in the early 1980's. I don't know the exact date because I was only around 12 years old at the time. I was in the family room watching TV with a few other family members which included my father.
My older brother was out in front of the house trying to make time with his girlfriend. He saw something in the sky and came running into the house to tell my father to come have a look. Being a big fan of Star Wars and Close encounters at that time I wasn't going to miss a chance to see something that maybe out of this world.
We grew up down the street from a Dallas navel base. To this day my brother clams that it was directly over the base. I remember it being directly over the house.
What we saw was not a disk or craft of any kind. It wasn't scary to me at the time but has become so, as I have still to this day never even heard of anything like this being viewed by any other UFO observer. It was a cloud that had the center of it's mass erased.
In the center was a series of neon blue lines that changed every 5 seconds or so. First look it was parallel blue lines. Then the lines would change direction.
Reverb and change into something like dots. Then wavy lines and continued to do this kind of thing for about 5 to 6 minutes. It looked like a TV that was having trouble getting a signal.
As if this cloud was one big hallow gram that was having trouble getting the center portion to work. By this time a crowd of about 10 people where standing in the front yard looking up at this thing. At first I thought it was a blimp.
I know that blimps have display screens but at the time couldn't do this kind of thing. I stayed in the front yard looking up for the next 2 1/2 hours thinking I'd see a blimp exit the clouds. Nothing! No noise, No craft, No blimp! I lived with my parents in the house from 1971 to 1993.
I've never seen a blimp that large Nor have I seen one in the area because of the naval base being so close (4 Miles). I've been pouring over the UFO web sites to ! try and see if anyone has heard of or seen anything like what I've described. I've had no luck at all.
I do have witnesses of the event. This includes 2 of my brothers, A sister and my father.I'm 37 now and It would be great to talk to others that may have seen something like this.
Was it a signal from something related to the naval base? This is something both my father and older brother offered as a possible explanation. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).
