Lubbock, Texas UFO Sightings in 2009

Full Report Text:

I was comming out of the hospital after an emergency visit for my son. Upon leaving the hospital I noticed a ball of light in the sky. You can see by the time I entered that it was about 7:35 pm or so just before day turns to night.

I observed the object fixed in the sky. There was no sound or movement which is what struck me the most. It was a blue color that did shine very bright the starts had not yet appeared in the sky so I could dismiss that very quickly.

I stared at the object for many moments till I finally had to leave to go fill a rx for my son. I ended up at the pharmacy with the object in sight the whole time while at the pharmacy I allowed my wife to go fill it for me so I could watch this object. Moments later the light seemed to have released a 2nd light from the initial craft that was much smaller than the first.

It seemed to be lowering it down from the primary craft. It was also glowing but more so a clear light. Then off in the distance I noticed a plane moving toward the object.

Then glanced back to the ufo and both lights began to dim until they were no longer visible to the eye. Local news would have us beleive this to be a weather baloon but it did not move at all or change its position and this does not explain the 2nd object I viewed either. there were many photos taken and many eye witnesses to this event including the ones I named along with my supervisor and co-workers.

I have a photo I can text message to you if you like. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Large circular steady intense light and smaller less intense mobile companion light. From a location of appx +33 degrees 35' 9.14" and -101 degrees 51' 49.

89" an object was seen at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees from horizon. If the center of a clock were our location, and 12 O'clock was dead north, the object was north northwest in appx the 11 O'clock direction. The object was quite large for a distant object, roughly 4mm of size in appearance and circular.

Incredibly bright and white, it was more intense in brightness than the intensity of the streetlamps on the street below. It gave off no amount of light to the ground or area, the idea is simply to describe the relative brightness and intensity of the light. The object appeared to be at a great distance, and was no more than white light.

There was no way to determine any sort of object detail with the amount of distance, but the size and brightness was utterly striking. It was holding dead still relative to a building's roofline below it (simply used to reference). It initially appeared to be an incredibly large and bright star to the observers, however it then began acting very strangely.

While continuing its perfectly dead hold, a small light resembling the size and intensity of an aircraft warning light (viewed at great distance), left it. The smaller light exited perfectly from the center and bottom of the large light and had appx 1/2 the intensity of brightness and only a small dot of size, much smaller than the first object. This small light moved slowly and perfectly downward with zero flashing from either object and perfectly steady light and movement (no stuttering or jumping).

It had the appearance of a falling flare on a parachute in descent speed, however over the 10 or so seconds of fall there was zero lateral movement. From the original object to its lowest point, the distance was likely 2 or 3 degrees between objects. The smaller light then stopped perfectly still and hung dead still.

The total journey down lasted appx 10 - 15 seconds of travel time. The object then hung for 5 - 10 seconds dead still below the first one. At this point the upper object became very slowly less intense, until it reached appx 1/2 original brightness.

This made the two objects the same intensity at this point. The small lower object then began to traverse upwards and to the right slightly at the same rate it had used on the descent but now at a relative diagonal. Eventually it passed the original large object on the right by appx 1/2 of a degree and continued until it reached appx 1/2 to 1 degree of distance upwards and to the right of the original object.

Using the clock analogy again, with the larger object at the center of the clock, the smaller object was located at appx the 1 o'clock position. During this ascent the large original object began again another very gradual fade and size shift until it was smaller in appearance and eventually equal in appearance to the smaller second object. Eventually the original object became so dim and small that it was unable to be seen at all.

The second object remained visible and dead steady for appx another 5 - 10 seconds before it too dimmed slowly until disappearance. The entire encounter lasted likely 1 or 2 minutes total. The objects were both white light and circular / dot like.

No defining shape or features could be seen. No flashing. No flickering.

No trails or tails. No other movement in any directions or traversing of the sky in even the most minute amount unless otherwise described above. Zero chance of confusion with aircraft.

Only possibilities could be orbital objects. Researched "Iridium flare" objects, wrong coloration, intensity, and timing entirely. Smaller secondary object is utterly confounding in movements.

Cannot explain the utter lack of movement for larger object. Appeared almost perfectly like a star expect for extreme intensity and size. Thank you.

UFO LUBBOCK TX It was about 10:40 tx time when i started to take out the trash i happen to see what i thought was a helicopter with its spotlight on in the distance i was facing north looking west so i walked back in to get more trash as i got done throwing it away as i was walking back i heard a light engine noise and out from behind my house over a feild it passes i was facing south it was heading east it was ppbly 200 to 300 ft in the air . it looked like it had an long flat ovel shape in the front and the back look like a triangle of space shuttle exhausts but had no fire or anything coming out.it had 2 big spot lights that were moving around on the side and two flashing white lights that would turn on and off one after the other one was on the front and the other on the right rear end "kinda highter thand the craft its self" the whole craft was black so i couldnt see anything better in detail.

i also saw a shooting star after it passed it shot right obove it.and i did see two jets hiigh in the sky after it passed going in the same dirction .but i do know that it was to quite to be a jet or a helicoper it was ppbly twice the size of a jet twice as wide to it was ppbly as big as an acer.
