Full Report Text:
BRIGHT LIGHT FALLING FAST TOWARDS THE GROUND My husband and I were leaving from a movie when we both saw a BRIGHT spherical object appear in the sky and drop down very quickly. It looked almost white to me and a blueish color to my husband. We both said, "Did you see that?" at the exact same time.
It was moving much faster than an aircraft would. I was waiting for a large explosion or sound upon impact but we never saw anything like that. It just seemed to disappear.
I really thought it had to be an aircraft crashing to the ground but it was just too large and bright. My husband and I have seen a meteor shower up close and it was nothing like that. Not a shooting star.
We are puzzled as to what it could have been. I looked everywhere to see if others had reported it.

A green fireball coming down at a rapid speed disappeared before it would have hit the ground. I was in my backyard looking toward the west and saw a green fireball streak down from the sky at a rapid speed and then disappear before it would have hit the ground. ((NUFORC Note: Possible Taurid meteor?? We suspect that the witness observed the event on November 14, and we have changed the date above.
PD)).

fast moving white balls increased in size then disappeared I was outside looking at the stars with my dogs in the back yard. While looking toward the northern portion of the sky I suddenly saw a white ball flew downward at a 45 degree angle at incredible speed. It then grew to double its size and disappeared.
Approximately 30 minutes later I saw another white ball doing the exact same thing on the southern portion of the sky.

Disappering Plane????? We were driving down park when we saw a light in the sky, then we got underneath it and it was moving very slowly and it look like a really low flying plane, when we turned around to see what it was it had disapperd. We drove around the city for about 30-40 minutes looking for it again but were unsuccessful. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
PD)).

orange star like object streaking across south-western sky My wife an I are young. Neither of us have ever seen a UFO previous to this occasion, and have only heard stories. I was out on my apartment balcony which faces south, just after night-fall, when I noticed a orange looking star-like object slowly streaking "down" the sky in the west.
The character of the object was that of a comet. The object began above us and to the west of us, and was slowly streaking down in the western sky. The object was moving at an angle so that it may have been only reaching the western horizon, and not actually falling.
As the object neared the horizon, it disappeared into the clouds. Six main points of interest that may be helpful to anyone reading this for investigative purposes. 1 - my wife and I both agree that the object had a tail (comet like tail).
2 - my wife and I both agree that the object was shifting horizontally in the sky, and that the tail was not effected - the entire tail was shifting with it (jumping to the left and right). 3 - My wife and I both agree that there was some sort of activity around the object, appearing as dancing blue specks of light to us. 4 - Upon calling my brother who lives about 50 miles away in Greenville, TX he confirmed the same comet like light with a comet like tail, in the same part of the sky, headed the same direction.
He saw this briefly before it disappeared into the clouds. (Brother is a religious conservative who would never believe he saw a UFO - he felt this was a comet). 5.
My wife and I researched every website we could find on the sky that night, and found no reports of a comet. The Perseids meteor shower was scheduled for within the next couple of days - but this object moved much much slower than any shooting star/meteor that I've ever seen. 6.
Both my wife and I agree that the object was an orange ball of light, looking about the size in the sky that a planet looks like when we see mars, only it was moving with a tail streaking behind it. Myself (age 26)- Open minded individual, who has shown intrest in UFO/paranormal activity. Wife (age 24) - Not open minded, does not show intrest in UFO/paranormal, and pokes fun at these types of things (feels there must be some logical explanation for what we saw that night, like a sattelite or something).
Brother (age 29) - Definately not open minded, very conservative (also feels there must be some logical explanation for what we saw that night, thinks it was a comet). Please note - just found this website months later from the incident - the date of occurence is exact - the time may be off by minutes.

Cigar shaped object with bright lights. On Tues. 2/10/05 at 12:25 AM I looked out my balcony window/sliding glass door and noticed a light in the sky I didn't recognize.
The direction was southwest. It appeared to be 1-3 miles away and was somewhat close to the ground. Initially I thought it was the top floor of a distant building being worked on by a team of welders.
I didn't recall a building being there so it sparked my interest that much more. Through binoculars it looked cigar shaped. The middle of it was radiating with very bright lights (white, blue, red, orange).
It was stationary for a couple of minutes but then started slowly moving north. The object disappeared behind a building that's about 300 yards from me and I never saw it appear on the other side. It's initial location was about a mile or a little less directly north of E.
D.S. (Electronic Data Systems) and as I mentioned before, moved north from there.
It could have been as far away as Dallas Pkwy. between Legacy and Headquarters or just east of there. http://maps.

What would a blimp be doing over there at such an hour? It would be absolutely impossible for someone else to have not seen this object.
