Full Report Text:
four to six light clusters in eastern sky While on a family walk in McKinney, Texas, at 8 pm, November 20, 2016, the two adults noticed a faint cluster of four to six blinking lights in the eastern sky about sixty degrees from the horizon. They appeared to have coloration of green, white, and blue hue. The objects seemed to move.
There were three children ages, 10–14 who also witnessed the cluster. They walked to their home still observing the cluster. The grandmother then observed the cluster and being a retired, science teacher she immediately confirmed that this was a unique phenomenon.

Light moving N to S over McKinney At approximately 0105, while walking my dog, I observed a single point of light approximately the same size and brightness as the stars visible in Orion and being white in color. This light traveled from North to South in a straight line, leaving no trail and making no noticeable sounds. The light did not change shape or color.
I was not able to track the final destination of the object due to trees blocking my view. When I arrived back home, I looked up the ISS and any satellite which may have passed over the area and there is not a listing of any object transiting at the time on this date and at that time.

High altitude light On 7-19-2016, on or about 20:16 hrs (CDT), while taking a break outdoors and watching a single engine plane doing “touch and go’s” from a nearby airstrip, I noticed a fairly bright white light approximately the size of or a little larger than a “BB” if held at arm’s length. The object was well above the local commercial air traffic, appearing at least as high as passing cirrus clouds and moved in a straight line from East to West. The observation lasted at least approximately three minutes and during this time, the object never seemed to change brightness, size, shape, or color.
When I first noticed the object, it was approximately at the 10 or 11 o’clock position in the sky and remained visible until approximately the 2 o’clock position before fading out. If holding my hands at arm’s length, the object would have been about three to four hands high off of the horizon. Shortly after the object moved out of view, I observed two passing commercial aircraft in landing pattern and observed the glint from any reflective surfaces on them for comparison; neither of the craft had the same reflective luminosity of the object I had observed a few minutes earlier.
