Conspicuous Lights seen in Night Sky over McKinney, Texas During several nights in the week ending 4 January 2008, I have seen very bright lights over the different locations in McKinney, Texas. Since this area is in the landing path for DFW airport, I was not initially alarmed by what I saw. The objects were visible due west from a position located near 33.
23 N by -96.68 W. I studied the objects with binoculars, comparing their distance to landmarks, and determined by their orientation to those landmarks, as well as compass readings, that they were not aircraft in the landing path.
After several minutes of careful observation, it was determined they were fixed. Five minutes later, one of the objects changed its position. Then, another.
Eventually, all three objects departed. On 3 January, another set of lights was seen over a different part of the city. From a closer vantage point, it was clear the object was hovering over the east side of US75, possibly 2KM, near US380.
My first impression of these objects was that they were helicopters performing some sort of high-altitude scanning. It is unusual to see helicopters flying so high, especially when they are stationary. The lights, again, were very bright, similar to the landing lights of large commercial jets.
Indeed, they were even discernible against the brightness of the western sky just after sunset. The lights did not appear to be flashing from any place on the aircraft.

Five 'star like' intellegece operated craft observed by 2 people in North Texas. I live in suburbs of North Dallas , Texas. I am a State Gaurd for the State of California , an American Red Cross first responder , a 2 year member of the Air Force Auxillery , Cival Air Patrol and my father was a pilot for over 10 years.
I am not an expert at aircraft , but am credible to tell you what I witnessed was something unexplainible and very real and not capable of being any current aircraft that any goverment possess. A college friend and myself had gone out for a cigarette after watching a late movie on television. The sky on this night was extremely clear and there were no clouds visible.
Constilations and stars on this night were excellent to observe. At around 5 am in the morning , still dark , both of us caught with our peripheral vision a change in a consilation visible in the North West sky. Two stars had appeared in the sky , at least they had the appeance of being stars.
More than this they were moving at slow pace , like that of a satelite . The pair moved as a unit , buts coordination was beyond that of even the most expierianced pilot. They changed direction slightly twice , remaining perfectly in sync with eachother.
The light they gave off dimmed slowly over time until finally disapearing. My friends thoughts on the behavior of the lights explores the possibility that these crafts were moving upward and out of our atmosphere causing the dimming effect. My first reaction was that these were military crafts , with advanced aero - navigational computers or something that would explain the way they manuvered.
I continued to observe the sky and the area where we'd witnessed the strange distant lights. Theyre were a lot of meteors also in the sky that night , a naturaly occuring meteor shower resulted my Haley's Comet. I was not expecting what followed as with most UFO sightings that Ive seen on TV programs , or read about in books there is only one sighting.
Five minutes had past since the disapearance of the first two craft. We both suddenly observed a bright flash from just south of the prior mentioned constilation. The flash was as bright as a camera flash light.
Immidieatly after the flash another single one of the "moving stars" craft was visible moving in a Northern direction for several seconds before fading like the first two. My friend and I now knew that we were observing something very real , and something that needed immiediate looking in to. I told my friend to remain outside and observe the sky for more activity.
I went inside to check all local news stations , and national news , in fear that this was a test of the missle defense system or that another national attack had happend causing the presence of these possible advanced military craft. There was nothing relevant on either press outlet. I went back outside only to find my friend just about to call me , and in time to witness a third and forth craft.
The following sighting remains to me the most signifigant in that it dis-proves any of the theories I had that these craft were man-made or modern. This sighting also disturbes me on a deep level. What we saw was a passanger jet , probably out of DFW International , heading north , with one of these star like craft following it from a higher altitude and several hundred yards behind.
It shadowed the airplane for a good minute in a half , maintaing the same distance and matching the speed of the airline. It then accelerated and moved directly over the plane before abruptly vanishing. At the same time as this first craft disapeared a second light appeared from the origional area that the origional craft had been following the plane at.
Several hundred yards behind the plane. This sudden appearance of this craft startled me enough , that I actually fell backwards on the ground. The craft was visible for no longer than several seconds buts direction was twoards us as I clearly remember seeing the light tracer caused by the fast moving craft.
These second pair of craft were much closer to the ground than the origional two viewed in the constilation. These two also moved quickly and appeared and vanished abruptly instead of a gradual fade. I felt a strong fear for the safety of the passangers on the plane , and was very uncomfortable with the way these unknown lights interacted as if there interest was with this jet.
Both my friend and I now knew that what we were seeing was unique , and something that we were not supposed to see. Ive seen meteors , shooting stars , satelites , and nearly every kind of signal light on a plane from both sky and ground and can possitivly identify these crafts as none of the mentioned. The last sighting occured near 07:40 .
We had remained outside for over thirty minutes patiently watching the sky and going over what we had seen , trying to make reason out of any of it. Morning had come and the only now visible stars in the sky were two off to the south west , and a very bright (maybe northern star) star to the west. As we turned around from watching the fading of the two stars to the east , and the area of sky where we saw the other crafts , a new pressence startled me.
A new , non moving , very bright light was now visible to left of the remaining one star we had noted before. Its size and amount of light it produced was a complete mimic of the single star to its right. It remained for 6-10 minutes , long enough for both of us to begin questioning simply overlooking this light , and begining to accept that it was also a star.
Without warning , it ever moving , and completly dismissing it as a fading star , it simply faded inwards , as if it was moving directly away from us at some great unthinkable speed. Within the amount of time taken by a eyelid blinking it had completly gone leaving the morning sky cloudless , single star remaining, and becoming lighter as the sun was now up. This last star gives me the oversure impression that it was singled in on us and was observing us.
It did not move or show any other sign of possible cause , other than its looming pressence above us , and the feeling that we were trapped and being watched by something that we could not explain and thought could be threat. Whatever these objects were , they were true "unidentified flying objects" . As to whether being extraterrestrial in orgin , I can knowingly testify that there is no possibility that these were man-made or navigated by a conventional pilot .
This is taking in to account the possibility of classified expierimentals. These things moved , appeared and vanished , and interacted as if altitude , time , and matter simply didnt matter , and that using these crafts could manipulate and contradict even our most basic laws of physics and far supercedes modern aero science potential. I have accepted that there are no explinations to what I witnissed and that the account that both of us saw will be laughed at , misunderstood , and not believed.
I however feel a sense of self , and look at it as being something very special that I was able to witness , and accept a very real unknown that we as Americans or any persons should press be investigated and monitored. My friend , of christian upbringing, found the expieriance to be the most religious , awakening , and realization as to the importance of having witnessed such things , a life changing expieriance as well as both of our single most important moments of our lifes. Being able to witness these crafts and observe , if only shortly , travelers of space , and things capable of seeming to bend reality.
I had no access to a video camera to record the lights for evidence. Also , after much discussion decided not to call the police at the time. Whether a public record or press involvment will be made by myself or friend remain to be decided.

Bright Oval White Light Moving Super Fast Speeds East of Mckinney Texas 11:19pm CST July 19th 2007 Standing on my sidewalk smoking a cigarette. My body was facing the Eastern Hemisphere. A bright oval white light seemed to be moving from East to West towards me.
Then it rapidly took a turn to the south(right) very quickly as if it was turning on a dime. I saw this object for about 4 seconds. The object was definitely some sort of aircraft but I know airplanes and it was no airplane nor was it a star.
The object seemed to be no further then 25 miles away and was very large in shape. It was a oval shape and very bright white light. To my guess and I know approximately how fast government aircraft moves and I would to say this object looked to be moving 8,000 to 10,000 miles per hour.
I immediately came inside and wrote down the exact time according to my cell phone and date. Then I went to Google and found your site in order to report this. Thanks.

One large UFO and 4-5 objects surrounding the area hovering in the NE sky. Went out side to view the sky. Looked to my NE and noticed one star kept looking and noticed 4-5 object around this star.
As I looked closer (trying to gain focus in shock) I noticed they would fade out and come back but going in a random motion. The bigger one would stay in one stop but the other 5 would just move around it. As no shape would take place or path.
Almost like they were refueling or hovering in that one area. Walked away for about five mins thinking that I am seeing things. Still there.
If a plane would go close by they would stop flashing lights and almost combine into one object into the bigger one. Strange, when the plane would pass by they would all seperate and fade in and out again. The light was a white light with a tint of green here and there.
The shape couldn’t say, I would say circle but it was too far away.
Full Report Text:
it kept moving in a circular path, like it was searching for something it slowly came down out of the sky. it had bright green lights and never stopped spinning. It moved around a little bit, almost as if it were searching for something.
Mostley moved in the same circular path, though. After about 15 minutes, it raised back up into the sky.
