Four white lights chasing each other inside a cloud. On Monday May 25,2009 at approximately 9:00 P.M.
the National Weather Service out of Corpus Christi, Tx. issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Laredo area with possible tornado's. I happen to live on the Eastern side of the city or just outside loop 20.
By 10:00 P.M. much of the lightning and thunder had passed us by and only a few sprinkles remained.
While observing the weather conditions outside, I noticed a white puffy cloud immediately to the west of my location. As I stared at this cloud, I noticed four white lights chasing each other within the cloud itself. I immediately called my wife so she could witness what I was looking at.
I also called my brother who happened to be visiting family in the vicinity of Nixon High which is located NW of loop 20 from where I was. He was able to see the same lights inside the cloud going around in a circular pattern. I tried to apply all logic as to the origin of the lights.
There were no airplanes in the vicinity nor was there any beams of light coming from the ground up. The airport beacon light is approximately 2 miles from where this cloud was. The lights seem to be chasing each other and never collided with each other.
At some point, the lights would come to a complete stop and would begin rotating in a counterclockwise pattern. The best way to describe the lights is by imagining that your inside the cloud with a flash light and moving the light around or inside the cloud. I could see where the light was hitting inside but the beam never broke through the wall of the cloud itself.
This sighting went on for approximately 30 minutes until the cloud moved out towards the East. I am a law enforcement officer and I have never seen anything like this in my 26 years of service. ((NUFORC Note: We do not know what the witness observed.
We note that his description is not inconsistent with a four-element light advertising display, although we assume that the witness would have been witness to such a light display, during the course of his career in law enforcement. We do not know what he witnessed. PD)).

Black oval disk but like rectangular like 60 feet Saw the ufo within like 20 yards away from me passing by as I was on the very top of the bleachers/stairs. It passed so slowly and I can hear a vibration/hovering sound. The ufo was dark and I can still see it with the moon light.
The craft wasn’t that high up in the sky I think it was avoiding the radar because as it went away the ufo wasn’t going up just stayed low kept going towards south. My friend was in shock and scared I was just amazed and excited because it was my second ufo sighting within a few months apart. So around 15 to 20 min later we started seeing a couple of air planes circling that area.
That’s a lot of ufo sightings here in Laredo Texas.

Large object producing a large bright stream of light dissapear from the sky like a flash !!! My daughter & I were driving home last night, 01/27/2009. It was close to 10 pm in the north area of Laredo, TX. As we turn south in one of the streets, we immediately noticed a very bright large stream of light ahead of us in the sky.
The stream of light was running horizontally illuminating the darkness east side of the sky. We both looked trying to figure out what it was or where the light was coming from. We realized that it was from a large object with dimmer light and haze floating in the sky.
The stream of light was like two huge lamps pointing east. We can not precisely tell the form of the object producing the stream of light, but can definitely say it was moving and shortening the stream of light until both, object & light totally disappear instantly in front of our eyes like a flash!!!.
