Very large UFO sighted while masked/hiding in rolling cloud bank at sunset. Location: San Antonio , TX United States County or area: Bexar Date: 31October , 2001 Time (local time): 7:16 to 7:30PM Precise location: IH 410 West @ IH 35 N Military Base nearby?: Yes Airport nearby?: Yes Description: 7:12 p.m.
, October 31, 2001 San Antonio, Texas, USA Watching the sunset because of the very unusual cobalt blue and very red/pink layers with a thick, white and darkened cloud bank in the mid region, solid across the horizon. This cloud bank was massive. A Sony Hi-8mm 72x zoom camcorder was being used to capture the moment when the camera caught a ping from the infrared right in the mid section of the cloud bank.
Clouds typically make the camera fuzz out because nothing is there to rebound the focus. The focus was almost immediate. It became evident, real fast, that something was either hiding or being masked in the clouds.
It may even have been generating the cloud cover. We guess the initial distance to be about 10km+ from our location. The film captured something of encredible size, perhaps 1500'+ in length and no guess on the height.
It appeared to have stuff hanging all over it. The IR was scanned above and below this region and found only the fuzz indication of emptyness, nothing to ping back. I know it sounds crazy, but everyone that sees the clip walks away with their eyes wide open and their mouths dropped open and with a stare.
Their are appearances of reptilian shapes and symbols on this leathery textured object. It's very strange, but it was there. Viewers in awe after watching the video.
Distance from viewer: 10km - 20km Number of objects: 1 Motion of objects: Extremely still for about 2 minutes, then gone from view and believed to be recaptured about 12 minutes later on film at a much further distance up to about 20km further out away from camerman. Watched the shape at a distance move two different directions and then upward back into the cloud bank and disappear. Direction of movement: West-NW, eventually moved more NW direction until out of view.
About 45 minutes later a helicopter came and spot-lighted the vacinity for almost 45 minutes, spotting into the clouds and all around. Yes, spotting the clouds. About ten minutes later a fighter flew over, up like a rocket and loop to loop out to the same direction of that being filmed.
Shortly after that, another fighter repeated the path. Duration of sighting: From about 7:11pm - 7:34 pm Sound: Very quiet. As a matter of fact, the birds were not as active.
Several neighbors did complain of headaches, some associated with a high to low pitch frequencies, twice in the preceding week. Also, brief headaches were noted during the same period, but without the freq noise. Everyone thinks the INS building a few hundred yards away was probably tweaking some security gizmo.
Number of witnesses: Not sure on event. Many have seen the film. Comments: At least I now know for sure about ET and this part of the mystery has been validated for me.
Background of witness(es): Professional, President of privately held consulting firm.

Last Friday nite my wife and I traveled back to San Antonio from Victoria,Texas after a High school game. My daughters are on the dance team and their buses were unloading at a approx. 1:30 A.
M. I was talking to a friend of mine as we were standing by the back of his truck,their were low streak looking clouds above us. We were less than a 1/4 mile from downtown San Antonio.
We happened to be looking up for a moment and saw a turquiose luminous cigar shaped object streak across the sky. It was as if a neon light has turned on for a moment and streaked across half the sky above us,then turn off then back on again. This object was cloud high and confounded the two of us.
We both saw it at the same time but could not say what it was. ((name deleted)) in San Antonio,Texas.

No shadows but me> Last oct. 2000 at approx ll:00 at night I was cleaning my pool with a net scooper. The nith sky was very clear.
All of a sudden I noticed a luminous light was shing on me from behind me. What struck me to notice this light was that I could see my body ool but nothing else in my back yard had a shadow. I have a large backyard,neither the trees or fences or anything else had a shadow but me.
I finally turned around and looked up in the sky and saw what appeared to be a search light beyond my front yard. There were no helicopters in the area or planes. But the fact that there was no shadow to my trees or fences but there was one on me.
The next night I was co-hosting a radio talk show on KENS Radio 1160. I was interviewing a friend of mine and the last question s were of any ufos that he had experiences with. I related my story on the air and my cohost had been driving that same night aproxx.
2 miles from my house and she along with her driving buddy had seen a large rectangular light in the direction of my house. This was the same time I had seen this light. The lighting was again a very luminous rose colored light that seemed to illuminate the whole backyard,and that s the truth.
Thanks. ((name deleted)) in San Antonio,.

Bright Blue/White Light, North Of San Antonio Texas Moving East To West in a slight downward slant. Bright Neon Bluish colored object spotted above and behind house across street in sky, moving from east to west north of my house. I saw it in the corner of my eye, blinked and turned to look and saw it move out of sight from east to west.
I came back inside the house, i had been outside turning off a sprinkler and watching suspicious vehicles outside. When I came back inside and got back online, about 3 minutes later someone in a chatroom also from Texas but 300 miles north asked if anyone had seen something in the sky. I responded to them, and they said it was south of them, which means it would probably have been between San Antonio and Plano Texas.
Assuming both of us saw the same bright blue light. ((NUFORC Note: Note discrepancy in dates. Allowing for a 2-hour time difference between Texas and Seattle, we suspect the witness may have meant to indicate 0025 hrs.
(CDT) on 15AP01, not May 15. We have amended the time and date for the report, and will attempt to corroborate with the witness. PD)).
